Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 840 - 827: Netherworld Road

The immense ancient cross-domain transmission array altar revealed its full appearance. Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan stood atop the altar, yet the handprint in Shi Feng’s hand remained unchanged, with numerous golden runes continuously floating out.

Floating towards the altar below.

Although the altar had appeared, it still required activation!

Then, Shi Feng shouted loudly, "Qingchuan, fill the grooves with primordial stones! Fill all eight groove openings completely."

"Yes!" Luo Qingchuan responded swiftly, promptly moving to the edge of the altar and continuously filling the grooves with primordial stones.

There were eight grooves in total, and the energy for activating the transmission array was drawn from the primordial stones, activated, and then launched!

As Shi Feng’s golden runes continued to float, and Luo Qingchuan filled the grooves with primordial stones, at this moment, the golden glow of this golden altar became increasingly dazzling.

"Coordinates! Adjust! Netherworld Road!" Shi Feng shouted once more, using his mind to begin adjusting the coordinates of this ancient altar. The name he mentioned was a location unheard of on the Tianheng Continent, called Netherworld Road!

Soon thereafter, a massive golden light pillar surged from this altar, in the blink of an eye, engulfing the bodies of Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan, and then the golden light pillar shot into the void.

Shooting towards the boundless horizon.

"Netherworld Purgatory! Netherworld Purgatory! I am finally about to return!" Within the golden light pillar, Shi Feng’s voice faintly resounded.

Soon, the golden light pillar gradually vanished in the sky, where it went was unknown.

..

In a dark world, wisps of yellow flames gently floated through this realm, resembling ghostly fire.

Suddenly, a giant golden light pillar appeared in the dark sky, and then it plummeted fiercely towards this land, with a booming explosion as it struck the earth.

The massive golden light beam dissipated, gradually revealing two figures—one red, one white—Shi Feng clad in blood-colored battle armor, and Luo Qingchuan in white clothes.

"Is this the Netherworld Road you’ve mentioned, master, the road leading to Netherworld Purgatory?" Observing the dim world and the floating yellow flames, Luo Qingchuan asked Shi Feng.

"This is merely the beginning road. It’s still some distance away from the real Netherworld Road. Let’s go! There won’t be any danger for now, there’s no need to stay alert." Shi Feng opened his mouth and said to Luo Qingchuan, then proceeded ahead first.

Though Shi Feng assured him there would be no danger for now, Luo Qingchuan maintained his vigilance as he moved, casting a careful glance in all directions.

Then, Luo Qingchuan asked again, "What kind of flames are these floating flames?"

"This is Netherworld Fire, born from the Netherworld, belonging to Yin flames," Shi Feng replied.

"Oh!" Luo Qingchuan nodded with semi-understanding.

The two continued their journey on this initial road. "Right!" Shi Feng suddenly muttered lowly, halting his pace.

"What’s wrong?" Hearing the low mutter and noticing Shi Feng suddenly halt, Luo Qingchuan’s face showed confusion, asking.

"I almost forgot about this." Shi Feng said, then flipped his right hand, revealing three jade boxes in his palm, the jade boxes obtained from the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, encasing the Blood Fiend Set.

For others, the Blood Fiend Set was useless, but to Shi Feng, it was anything but—it contained Sacred Sword Fragments that could elevate the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Upon Shi Feng’s palm, a white energy flowed rapidly, "Crack! Crack! Crack!" Suddenly, three crisp sounds rang out, and the three jade boxes in Shi Feng’s hand shattered, leaving only three pieces of Blood Fiend jewelry in his hand.

Then, Shi Feng’s left hand formed a handprint and pressed it onto the three blood-colored jewelry pieces in his right hand.

Back in the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, Shi Feng sensed the prohibition seal in these three Blood Fiend jewels, a seal even his Bloodthirsty Sword couldn’t detect at the time.

"Creak! Creak! Creak!" Three soft cracks sounded from Shi Feng’s hand, the three blood-colored jewelry trembled slightly, then Shi Feng removed his left hand, focusing his gaze on the palm of his right hand.

A strong Blood Fiend Killing Aura rose from the jewelry pieces in his hand.

In a fleeting moment, Shi Feng’s middle finger, with a blood-colored sword pattern, began to tremble incessantly, indicating that the Bloodthirsty Sword had sensed the existence of the three Blood Fiend accessories and was unable to restrain itself.

Shi Feng’s mind stirred, causing a blood-colored sword light to flash within his right hand, revealing the Bloodthirsty Sword, hovering in Shi Feng’s palm.

As soon as the Bloodthirsty Sword emerged, the Blood Fiend Necklace, Blood Fiend Bracelet, and a pair of Blood Fiend Earrings were immediately drawn in by the sword as if attracted by a powerful force.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" Four pleasing chimes rang, with the necklace, bracelet, and earrings adhering to the sword body of the Bloodthirsty Sword, followed by a radiant blood-red light shining once more from the sword.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" Along with the blood light shining, came a series of fierce beast roars, which were the sounds of the sword spirit, Blood Yin Beast of the Bloodthirsty Sword.

"This sword has followed me for so long, it can finally advance to Ninth Grade Emperor Level!" Gazing at the blood light before him, Shi Feng muttered softly.

"Advance to Ninth Grade Emperor Level! A sword capable of advancing!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan, beside him, was stunned. "An advancing Mysterious Artifact is unheard of—such divine weaponry on the Tianheng Continent?"

At that time, after the Bloodthirsty Sword absorbed the Golden Qilin’s blood to advance, Luo Qingchuan was entirely focused on the newly acquired Xuanyuan War Halberd and hadn’t noticed Bloodthirsty’s anomaly.

Having seen Shi Feng use the sword, Luo Qingchuan merely thought of it as an Eighth-stage Saint-level Profound Artifact, unaware it would surpass his understanding.

"This sword originates from the ancient period; surely only a miraculous alchemy master from that era could forge such a sword! Also, back at Undying Mountain, when you were bewitched by the Blood Pattern Group’s beast and lost consciousness, this sword belonged to that clan," Shi Feng explained.

"Blood Pattern Tribe!" Upon hearing these words, Luo Qingchuan clenched his fists, knowing well the ancient demon guarded by generations at Undying Mountain was indeed from the Blood Pattern Tribe.

Now the Blood Egg escaped Undying Mountain’s suppression, and the Blood Pattern Tribe resurfaced—countless human clan lives lost in several cities of the North Domain, suspected to be caused by the Blood Pattern Tribe.
