Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1297 - 1282: A Man’s Duty—To Protect!

"Roar! Roar! Howl!"

Just as Shi Feng pushed his palms towards Jiangg Ning, the Four Great Fierce Beasts, which originally appeared to have calmed down, suddenly became even more ferocious than before.

"Damn it, if you want her finished, then keep roaring at me!" Shi Feng shouted angrily at the increasingly violent Four Great Fierce Beasts.

Under Shi Feng's furious shout, the roars of the four beasts gradually ceased as they began to look at each other.

At this moment, Shi Feng's palms had already exerted force, and under his control, Jiangg Ning's eight silhouettes, along with the sky-blue cauldron at their center, simultaneously flew into the air, quickly floating above.

Floating mid-air, Jiangg Ning continued her alchemy technique as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts finally calmed their angry expressions and pulled the bronze chariot towards the void.

Shi Feng's figure also moved, ascending into the void, though his Formless Power remained focused on Jiangg Ning's eight silhouettes and the cauldron.

"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!"

Just as Shi Feng's feet left the ground, the earth beneath suddenly shook more violently, and the rumbling became even louder.

It felt as if an Ancient Fierce Beast was enraged, roaring with angry bellows.

At this moment, in the distant sandy land, an immensely ancient and dilapidated structure began to slowly rise from the sand, like a prehistoric beast awakening from the depths of the earth, slowly standing on its gigantic body.

"Xuangang Sanctuary!" Upon seeing the distant ancient structure, Shi Feng was taken aback, exclaiming in surprise.

That area had actually been explored by the Yin Corpse Group and Shi Feng's Soul Power, but nothing was discovered at that time.

Yet now, such an enormous ancient structure was rising from beneath the ground. Where had it been hiding before?

The emergence of the ancient dilapidated building marks a moment awaited by those present! Scores of figures swiftly darted towards the structure!

"The ruins of Xuangang Sanctuary! The ruins of Xuangang Sanctuary have appeared! We've waited so many days, and finally, it's here!" someone shouted excitedly.

"Divine Artifacts! Divine Grade Cultivation Techniques! Divine Grade Combat Techniques! They're mine—all mine! Haha! Hahaha!"

"To become powerful! I feel that this Xuangang Ruins is the opportunity of my lifetime. Today, I, Zhao Ritian, will rise in these ruins! I, Zhao Ritian, will surpass Wang Li! No! I, Zhao Ritian, will become a genius beyond Shi Feng!"

Soon, the once bustling crowd in this area flew towards the continuously rising ancient structure, leaving the place empty!

Only Shi Feng, Jiangg Ning, and the Four Great Fierce Beasts remained in mid-air.

In the face of the ethereal opportunities of the Ancient Relics, any goddess, Divine Refiner's alchemy, were directly ignored.

At this moment, Shi Feng refocused all his attention. Now, Ancient Relics are irrelevant to him; his main task is ensuring Jiangg Ning's safety.

Jiangg Ning almost fell into danger because of him, and Shi Feng would be extremely guilty if any mishap befell her.

A man must ensure no woman suffers any harm because of him.

As time passed, the fiery flames within the sky-blue cauldron began to diminish, indicating Jiangg Ning's refinement was nearing completion.

In fact, refining an Emperor-level Profound Artifact into a Five-star Demigod at Jiangg Ning's current speed was already quite fast.

At this moment, Jiangg Ning's seven silhouettes also began to move, merging entirely with the one standing proudly in the east. The eight Jiangg Nings finally became one!

"Open!" A tender shout emanated from Jiangg Ning's mouth.

"Open! Open! Open! Open! Open!"

A series of cold echoes reverberated in this space.

"Bang!" A crisp sound rang out as the lid atop the sky-blue cauldron suddenly flew into the sky.

"Rise!" As the lid flew skyward, Jiangg Ning let out another tender shout, followed by a blood-colored light soaring out of the sky-blue cauldron.

The blood light descended, revealing a brick-sized, extremely crimson and enchanting stele, resembling coagulated fresh blood, emanating an aura far surpassing the previous Blood Stone Stele.

Under Jiangg Ning's refinement, the Blood Stone Stele successfully ascended to a Five-star Demigod Artifact!

With a booming sound, the airborne lid fell back onto the sky-blue cauldron. Jiangg Ning's highly focused attention finally relaxed, as she reached out her right hand, drawing the cauldron towards her.

The mountain-sized cauldron disappeared into Jiangg Ning's right hand.

Beside her, Shi Feng had a sudden thought, and the floating blood-colored stele above began rapidly enlarging!

As the Blood Stone Stele continued to grow, its aura became increasingly formidable! Shi Feng felt that under his command, this Blood Stone Stele could reduce ordinary martial artists below Five-star Demigod to ashes.

With Jiangg Ning's help, the Blood Stone Stele was not only fully restored, preventing future damage, but Shi Feng also gained another formidable attack method and a powerful attack profound artifact.

The blood-colored stele soon expanded like a giant mountain, exuding an incomparable grandeur. Observing the current power within the Blood Stone Stele, Shi Feng shouted out in approval!

Immediately, Shi Feng's thoughts moved again, rapidly shrinking the enlarged blood-colored stele, ultimately transforming it into a blood-colored bell, resembling a miniature stele tattoo on his left hand.

Shi Feng then looked at Jiangg Ning, sincerely expressing gratitude: "Jiangg Ning, thank you!"

Hearing Shi Feng's gratitude, Jiangg Ning faintly smiled and said to Shi Feng, "Had it not been for you bringing me into mid-air, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I, Jiangg Ning, should be the one to thank!"

"You nearly got into trouble because of me, how could I stand by and watch? I should protect you!" Shi Feng resolutely said.

"Should protect me?" Hearing Shi Feng's words, Jiangg Ning murmured, then turned to look at the distant ancient giant structure before softly murmuring to herself:

"Even with the appearance of the Ancient Relics, completely unaffected, will protect me till the end?"
