Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1353 - 1338: He’s About to Overturn the Heavens

The nighttime in the Heavenly Tower Desert was eerily cold, and when the sun hung high above, it was incredibly scorching.

At this moment, Shi Feng and Huo Yu, who were moving swiftly, suddenly halted.

Then, Shi Feng once again took out the Beast Skin Map that guided them to the Sinister Abyss from the Storage Ring.

Shi Feng looked down, casting his gaze toward the desert below.

On the desert lay a stretch of dilapidated ruins. Shi Feng compared the ruins to the Beast Skin Map in his hand and said, "This should be the Heavenly Tower Ruins recorded on the map. From here, it should take us about three more days to reach the Sinister Abyss."

"Three days, Sinister Abyss," Huo Yu murmured softly.

"You... you all, wait for me a moment!" At this time, a feminine voice called out again from behind.

It was that middle-aged mature woman, chasing after them.

Behind the middle-aged woman, a giant red scorpion with wings followed, exuding a formidable aura; this was a Two-star Demigod Realm Great Demon.

A Two-star Demigod Realm Great Demon was a terrifying existence to that mature woman.

"Roar!" At that moment, an eerie cry sounded from the red scorpion's mouth, and a blast of scorching Fiery Flames was spat out by it.

Sensing the hot and powerful force behind her, the mature woman was once again shocked and hurriedly shouted to Shi Feng and Huo Yu ahead, "You... you two, help me, quickly!"

Shi Feng glanced back, and instantly, the Fiery Flames sweeping toward the mature woman disappeared without a trace. The massive body of the giant winged red scorpion suddenly exploded, spewing a vast amount of fresh red blood, which surged forward like tidal waves toward Shi Feng in the void.

Soon, the Power of Death, blood, and Soul of the giant winged red scorpion were completely devoured by Shi Feng. At this moment, the mature woman had already caught up.

"You... you two, I'm a woman, can't you take care of me a little?" The mature woman scolded Shi Feng and Huo Yu.

"Women of your auntie rank are not considered women in the eyes of I the Saint Child," Huo Yu stated directly.

"You!" Upon hearing Huo Yu's words, the mature woman was instantly furious! If she could defeat him, she might have already attacked.

Shi Feng followed up with, "Alright, let's continue our journey. In a few more days, we can leave this Heavenly Tower Desert. The demon beasts we encounter later will become increasingly powerful, so be careful."

After saying this, Shi Feng moved again and disappeared in an instant.

Huo Yu turned into a flash of fire and followed.

"You two!" The middle-aged mature woman was enraged once again.

These two were treating her life and death as a joke! "If I really get killed by the Great Demons in this desert, I'll definitely become a Fierce Ghost to return for revenge!"

The mature woman grumbled bitterly in her heart.

Unbeknownst to her, even if she turned into a Fierce Ghost, they wouldn't be frightened!

Shortly after, the mature woman once again hastened her pace, chasing after the two figures ahead.

Even though she was resentful of the two at the moment, she still couldn't leave them under the current circumstances.

...

Amidst the sky of the Heavenly Tower Desert, a white, elderly figure stood proudly.

This person had a commanding presence, wearing a white robe. Despite the white hair and beard, he showed no signs of aging; instead, he exuded a noble, kingly aura!

This person's name was Gu Qi, a Supreme Elder of Gu'e Mountain! After witnessing in a Secret Technique image that the Gue Mountain Saintess Gu Yan was tortured to death, Gu Qi, the Supreme Elder, fumed with rage and came in person!

The Gue Mountain Saintess, Gu Yan, was of Gu Qi's lineage. Given their generation, Gu Yan would have to call Gu Qi "Grand Uncle."

Though Gu'e Mountain was a faction, its internal relationships were intricate. Gu Qi's lineage had struggled to elevate Gu Yan to the position of Saintess, yet she was murdered in the end, dying a tragic death with all the Gu'e Mountain disciples she brought with her perishing!

This incident of the Gue Mountain Saintess being tortured to death and the total annihilation of Gue Mountain disciples greatly shamed Gu'e Mountain, and Gu Qi's lineage was especially humiliated. Even Gu Qi himself often heard endless ridicule from the old fellows.

"A generation's Saintess who sought her own doom, tortured to death and taking hundreds of disciples of the mountain gate with her; what a Saintess she was..."

This Saintess Gu Yan had become synonymous with "disgrace."

"My elder brother died early, leaving only a handful of offspring, and in the fourth generation, only Gu Yan remained. I paid a heavy price to make her the Saintess, only for her to die like this! So humiliating! Damn it! Damned indeed! I've lost all face!"

"That Undying Demon Body! Unless I personally flay him, I can't swallow this breath!"

Gu Qi's face showed a vicious expression as he spoke angrily.

"Well, where has that little beast gone?" Although the area in front looked empty, void of any figures, Gu Qi spoke to the air.

Just as Gu Qi's voice fell, a deeply ominous voice suddenly echoed from the air before him:

"Reporting to Master, according to the intelligence from the Yin Mountain, the individual has just passed the Heavenly Tower Ruins. Based on their route analysis, they are indeed heading for the Sinister Abyss and will reach our area in two days!"

"Good!" Gu Qi said, "Then I will wait here for that little beast to come and die. Tell Yin Mountain to keep an eye on him. If anything goes wrong, I'll flay both you and him first!"

"Understood, Master! Please rest assured!" The ominous voice hurried to respond.

After a while, the ominous voice spoke again: "Master, based on the latest intelligence, Hanl Wei of the Hanl Family has brought their Divine Artifact and many of the Hanl Family's strong warriors into the Heavenly Tower Desert."

"Oh, that old Hanl Wei is here too!" Gu Qi stated, then added, "It's expected he'd come, considering that little beast killed his useless grandson and crippled one of his hands. Who wouldn't be unable to swallow this anger?"

"Master, more new intelligence: the Wang Family of the ancient clan, the Sun God Sect, the Moon God Sect, and the Star Divine Sect have also sent strong warriors into the Heavenly Tower Desert, all for that person.

It is said that a few days ago, during the emergence of the Mysterious Light Holy Land, within its ruins, the Sun God Sect's Inheritor Yang Cheng, the Moon God Sect's Inheritor Yuel Qian, and the Starlight Divine Sect's Falling Star all died at the hands of that person!"

"This... this little beast!" Even Gu Qi was slightly surprised upon hearing the ominous voice, saying, "This little beast is practically overturning everything!"
