Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1299 - 1284: The Bizarre Earth

Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning's soul power continued to sweep in all directions.

Then, their feet followed suit, walking slowly through the ruins as if taking a stroll, while their soul power continued to spread.

The four Four Symbols Fierce Beasts dragged the bronze chariot, following behind the two of them.

After all, this was the Ancient Relics. Although it seemed like no danger had descended, and no one had encountered danger up to now, who could know when peril might suddenly strike?

Many people had already identified this as the site of the Mysterious Light Holy Land from ages past. So, martial artists exploring these ruins, while fantasizing about divine artifacts, divine arts, and divine skills, were also prepared for danger to arrive at any moment, or that they might suddenly disappear, just like the Mysterious Light Holy Land from long ago, or even turn to dust.

As Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning walked through the relics, they attracted more and more attention—admiration, anger, jealousy, and full hostility.

However, Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning gradually realized that these ruins increasingly resembled a ruinous wasteland—disordered stones, disordered columns, broken bricks, shattered tiles!

Originally, they hoped to distinguish whether this was truly the legendary Mysterious Light Holy Land site through some inscriptions, but they didn't see even a single character.

It seemed as if the traces here had been deliberately erased by someone.

Following that, Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning both lowered their heads, looking at the earth beneath their feet. Actually, from the start, their keen souls had already noticed that something unusual lay within the earth below them.

The reason they had been walking through the ruins was to see if there was anything extraordinary about this wasteland, but the result was... nothing.

At this time, Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning discovered they both were lowering their heads, and when they looked up, their four eyes met, gazing at each other.

Shi Feng spoke, saying, "Our soul power can't penetrate the earth below; there must be some mysterious force or object in this earth that blocks our soul power."

"That's what I was thinking." Jiangg Ning nodded slightly, responding to Shi Feng's words.

After a pause, Jiangg Ning said, "But we have already searched this ruin with our soul power, and found no entrance leading to the underground. And just now, I saw someone attacking the earth with all their might, yet couldn't even create a crack. The hardness of this ground far exceeds our imagination."

"Let me give it a try!" Shi Feng responded.

Immediately, a scarlet glow flashed before Shi Feng, and he summoned a fifth-stage imperial level Little Yin Corpse from the Blood Stone Stele.

"What is this?" Seeing the suddenly appearing Little Yin Corpse, with its corpse-like appearance, exuding a deathly aura, Jiangg Ning had never seen such a creature before.

Shi Feng had long known that in the Wilderness Continent, Yin Corpses had never appeared.

Yin Corpses are called the children of the earth because they are born when a human's corpse is buried in the earth, absorbing the earth's energy.

Since the Wilderness Continent never had Yin Corpses, it could be that the earth in this world is somewhat different from the earth in the Tianheng Continent.

Shi Feng introduced to Jiangg Ning, "This is a death creature called a Yin Corpse, naturally endowed with earth divine power."

"Yin Corpse?" Hearing Shi Feng's words, Jiangg Ning frowned slightly, then shook his head at Shi Feng, saying, "I've never seen or heard of them before."

Shi Feng said, "He possesses earth divine power and can enter the earth. I will let him investigate underground."

As he said this, Shi Feng willed the Yin Corpse to dive into the earth.

But soon after, Shi Feng furrowed his brows. Seeing his expression, Jiangg Ning asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Feng spoke, saying, "This Yin Corpse could previously dive into any earth, but this is the first time I've seen earth it couldn't penetrate. It seems this earth truly has an air of mystery!"

Not only could the Little Yin Corpse not penetrate this earth, but its original earth divine power, capable of manipulating the power of earth, also couldn't drive the earth beneath their feet.

Since the Yin Corpse's earth divine power couldn't manipulate this earth, Shi Feng willed the imperial-level Little Yin Corpse to emit a blood-colored glow, and he retracted it back into the space within the Blood Stone Stele.

"It seems the true key to this relic lies beneath our feet. The most important thing now is to find a way to enter this mysterious underworld." Shi Feng said.

Now, the martial artists searching for opportunities in these ruins also realized that they had actually found nothing but a wasteland of ruins.

Gradually, more and more people began to realize the peculiarity of the ground beneath their feet.

Impenetrable by blades and firearms, impervious to water and fire, unmoved by violent energy blasts—this was something no ordinary "earth" could achieve. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Realizing the unusual nature of this earth, people began to search for an entrance to the underground.

However, until now, no one had found anything.

Even Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning's powerful soul power, which had nearly scoured the entire wasteland, found no suspicious entrance.

"Where is the entrance, indeed? Have we come all the way to the site of the Mysterious Light Holy Land, only to be unable to enter because we can't find the entrance?" said someone in the wasteland, full of unwillingness.

"Now, what we need to do is keep our eyes open and find that entrance! Without it, we'll just be sitting ducks here! And who knows when this hard-earned relic might suddenly disappear."

"Search, search, search! Let's unite our efforts to find the entrance! Only by finding it can we find the Mysterious Light Divine Artifact!"

"The entrance might not be in this wasteland, or perhaps there isn't an entrance at all. We simply cannot enter the underground of this earth, or maybe an invisible force is simply not allowing us to enter." At that, Shi Feng, still gazing at the earth beneath them, spoke to Jiangg Ning.

"Not sure." Jiangg Ning said, "Maybe the entrance is just a very small space, so small we can't detect it, or it's some array that only activates upon contact."

Even they couldn't say for certain what the real situation was.

Then the two stood quietly, observing whether there truly was some small space or array, waiting to see if anyone would accidentally activate it.

Afterwards, their soul power once again spread out, monitoring all directions!
