Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1452 - 1437: Sinister Demon Palace
"You didn't kill me, so I, Lin Yu, owe you, Shi Feng, a life!"
Shi Feng could feel that at this moment, Lin Yu was truly serious as he spoke these words to him.
Shi Feng spared Lin Yu's life not out of any sense of gratitude or debt, but because of his deep loathing towards the Sinister Three Demon Masters who intervened. He wished he could have killed them with a single stroke, not considering any personal favors or debts.
Gazing into Lin Yu's eyes from across the battlefield, their eyes met. Just then, an overwhelmingly majestic voice reverberated throughout heaven and earth: "Top Ten Powerhouses, return to the Void Arena!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
As the voice echoed, six figures swiftly charged towards the void battlefield where Shi Feng and Lin Yu currently stood.
Though the Sinister Demon Realm produced Ten Powerhouses, during this competition, the young lady Yanh Lu killed the martial artist Weii Jun, and Shi Feng ended Qig Xiong's life. Now only eight remain.
Quickly, the six remaining figures arrived, Ziyi and Miss Sen Rou's figures halted beside Shi Feng, smiling at him.
They felt genuine happiness for Shi Feng's victory as friends, as he claimed first place.
Not far away in the void, the red-clad girl Yanh Lu also glanced in Shi Feng's direction, her gaze flickering.
She had heard of Shi Feng's exploits outside and knew he possessed the Undying Demon Body, a genius among evil demons. She hadn't imagined he would enter the Sinister Abyss and defeat its top prodigy, Lin Yu!
"Shi Feng! That damn Shi Feng! If he had agreed to marry me and consummate our marriage at the Yanh Family yesterday, I too would be basking in the spotlight. It's truly despicable!" Yanh Lu thought bitterly.
Clearly, in Sinister Demon City, all eyes were fixated on the prodigy Shi Feng, the focal point of attention. The other seven were just his backdrop.
At this moment, eight Black Iron Tokens emitting mysterious auras began descending, hovering in front of the Eight Great Strongmen, suspended and slowly rotating in the void.
Again, the commanding voice resounded: "These tokens allow eternal entry into the Sinister Forest! However, those who enter must keep its secrets and obey all orders, or face death!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death" echoed through heaven and earth, sending chills into the heart of anyone who heard it.
Just this word alone could provoke such fear; the power of the speaker must be unimaginably terrifying.
It seemed they also had orders from the Sinister Three Demon Masters, implying their immense strength!
Then, the commanding voice continued: "Once you take this token, you must respond immediately to any summons regarding the Sinister Forest. Consider carefully, once you take this token, there's no turning back for eternity!"
"No turning back for eternity!" the voice echoed again in the heavens.
At this moment, hands reached forward unhesitatingly to grasp the mysterious Black Iron Tokens.
They had been aware of the conditions for entering the Sinister Forest beforehand. Some never expected to rank among the top three, simply hoping for an entry permit to the Sinister Forest.
The Sinister Forest is a legendary place of training. Those who enter see their power increase exponentially compared to the outside world.
This was witnessed by many. Each year, the geniuses emerge vastly more powerful after leaving the Sinister Forest.
However, legends also spoke of dangers within the Sinister Forest, where many geniuses vanished, never to return, eternally trapped inside.
Opportunity mingled with peril, an understanding shared by all martial artists. Without effort or sacrifice, there can be no reward. Those entering the Sinister Forest were long prepared to face its dangers.
For Shi Feng, it was even more vital. He participated in the competition solely to enter the Sinister Forest, return to his Tianheng Continent, finish unfinished business, and slaughter every enemy.
Holding the Black Iron Token, Shi Feng immediately felt a mysterious power flowing into his hand.
"Is the Sinister Three Demon Masters leaving another mark on me?" Shi Feng pondered this mysterious force.
Entering the Sinister Peak had already left a mark on his left palm. Now, entering the Sinister Forest required another mark!
Shi Feng mused further: "Everyone in the Sinister Abyss bears these marks from the Sinister Three Demon Masters. Now another mark upon entry to the Forest. Why?"
He placed the Black Iron Order into his storage ring.
Suddenly, above the Eight Great Strongmen, a Dark Demon Gate descended from the sky, slowly opening to reveal a dim pathway within.
The commanding voice returned: "All eight of you, enter to greet the great Three Demon Lords, and then proceed to the Sinister Forest!"
With the voice's command, eight figures flashed towards the dark pathway above.
Shi Feng was no exception, recalling Ziyi and Miss Rou'er's words: as the first in the competition, he would receive the Sinister Metamorphic Pill from the Sinister Three Demon Masters!
The Sinister Metamorphic Pill was wondrous, enhancing martial artists' innate potential!
This alone made the Sinister Metamorphic Pill an incomparable treasure!
In a flash, Shi Feng vanished into the dark pathway.
The dark passage was pitch black but did not hinder the eight geniuses' vision as they weaved through it.
Soon, the eight entered a spacious dimly lit hall.
"Is this the legendary Sinister Demon Palace?" someone exclaimed upon entering the hall.
The people of the Sinister Abyss knew the Three Demon Lords' grand hall, the Sinister Demon Palace, was only accessible to those of high status to greet them!
No one expected the eight to enter this fabled place!
