Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 868 - 855: Ning Cheng Returns

"Speak! Is Yun Yimeng alive or dead!" Shi Feng coldly demanded once again, his hand engulfed in a blood-colored blaze fueled by the soul of Demon Wilderness, which flared even more intensely!

"Aaahhhh!" The anguished and tormented howls of Demon Wilderness grew louder, and he yelled again, "I don’t know if Yun Yimeng is alive or dead now! Anyway, he didn’t die by my hand that day!"

"Didn’t die by your hand?" Upon hearing Demon Wilderness’s words, Shi Feng muttered under his breath, then coldly questioned, "Make it clear, what exactly happened?"

"Ah! You kill me! Kill me! Ah!" Demon Wilderness, whose soul was burning with blood flames, constantly pleaded with Shi Feng for death.

"Explain yourself clearly, and I will grant you death!" Shi Feng said coldly once more.

Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Demon Wilderness hurriedly continued, "On that day at Ten Thousand Swords Manor, in my battle with Yun Yimeng, just as I was about to kill him, a white light suddenly appeared and rescued Yun Yimeng."

"A white light appeared and rescued Yun Yimeng?" Shi Feng furrowed his brow upon hearing these words from Demon Wilderness, and began to ponder who that white light could be.

At this moment, with Demon Wilderness’s soul in his grasp, Shi Feng sensed from the fluctuation of Demon Wilderness’s soul when he spoke that he wasn’t lying!

"Netherworld! You said earlier if I explained clearly, you would kill me. You must not go back on your word!" Thus, Demon Wilderness continued to howl in agony, pulling Shi Feng back from his thoughts.

With a thought, Shi Feng dispersed the blood-colored blaze in his hand, revealing the strand of Demon Wilderness’s soul. Immediately, Shi Feng’s Soul Power began to operate, and cracks continuously appeared in Demon Wilderness’s soul at his palm, breaking apart, scattering white starry spots, which drifted towards his soul’s forehead.

Demon Wilderness’s Soul Power was quickly devoured by Shi Feng.

Yet despite devouring ten thousand demon soldiers and warriors, as well as Demon Wilderness’s soul tonight, these souls were of low rank, and Shi Feng’s Soul Power still hadn’t broken through, remaining at One-star Emperor Level.

Nowadays, regardless of soul, body, Martial Arts—the higher the realm, the harder it is to break through.

Especially that abnormal Dantian fused with Sacred Flame; tonight, he devoured ten thousand demon soldiers and generals, alongside the Power of Death and blood of Nine-star Martial Emperor Demon Wilderness, yet the energy to break through Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm only reached one-third!

However, what Shi Feng was still contemplating was who exactly that white light rescuing Yun Yimeng was.

Among his disciples, only Mo Xiaoyao and Lingg Yefeng could rescue Yun Yimeng from Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm Demon Wilderness.

And then, among his Eight Ghost Generals, it was evident that none of them were the ones.

"Great Emperor!" Just then, in front of Shi Feng, the voice of Gui Huan, one of the Eight Ghost Generals, sounded, pulling Shi Feng back from his thoughts once again.

Gui Huan presented the Sky Demon Sword of Demon Wilderness and a gold Storage Ring on both hands.

However, the Sky Demon Sword, at this moment in Gui Huan’s hand, was violently trembling, as if trying to escape from Gui Huan’s grasp.

"Demon Race Nine-star Emperor-level Profound Artifact, Sky Demon Sword!" Shi Feng’s eyes narrowed, taking over the Sky Demon Sword and the gold Storage Ring from Gui Huan, and after a quick scan of Demon Wilderness’s Storage Ring, finding nothing special inside, he tossed it into his own Storage Ring.

And the Sky Demon Sword, still trembled violently in Shi Feng’s hand, just as it was in Gui Huan’s hand.

There is a spirit within the sword, sensing that the person holding it was not the one who formed the contract with it, and struggled to break free from Shi Feng’s grasp.

With his left hand, Shi Feng formed a Profound Hand Seal and struck the Sky Demon Sword. With this strike, he not only broke the mark Demon Wilderness left on the sword, but also implanted his own mark into it, forcibly forming a contract with the Artifact Spirit within. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Once the contract was formed, the Sky Demon Sword that had struggled violently quieted down immediately, lying silently in Shi Feng’s hand.

From this moment, Shi Feng became the owner of this Sky Demon Sword!

Shi Feng gripped the sword’s hilt, then followed with a direct thrust towards the sky.

After a night of fierce battle, the night sky unknowingly broke into dawn, shrouded in a gray mist.

Under Shi Feng’s sword, a golden dragon phantom shot out from the Sky Demon Sword, soaring into the sky, and between heaven and earth, a dragon’s roar echoed furiously: "Roar!"

This dragon phantom was the incarnation of the Artifact Spirit within the sword, unexpectedly, the spirit sealed within this Sky Demon Sword was the Soul of a dragon.

However, it was the descendant of a True Dragon with impure blood; its Soul Power only at One-star Emperor Level.

If it were truly an ancient True Dragon Soul, then with Demon Wilderness wielding this Sky Demon Sword, unleashing the ancient True Dragon Soul to defeat enemies, the power of the True Dragon—who in this world could withstand it!

"This sword is good!" Shi Feng looked at the Sky Demon Sword he held, grinning.

Currently, his Bloodthirsty Sword is only One-star Emperor Level, while this Sky Demon Sword is indeed Nine-star Emperor-level, wielding the Sky Demon Sword, his battle power is bound to significantly increase with his Supreme Sword Skill!

Then, with another thought, a golden light flashed in his right hand as he activated the Secret Technique taught by Blood Demon, transforming the Sky Demon Sword within his palm into a golden sword pattern.

"Hmm? It seems someone has returned." At this point, Shi Feng sensed an energy fluctuation in the void ahead, raised his head, and saw a dark silhouette rapidly flying back.

Shi Feng quickly recognized the returning figure as his abnormal disciple-grandchild, Ning Cheng.

In Ning Cheng’s hand, he held a blood-covered, unrecognizable figure, but Shi Feng’s eyes narrowed, and he coldly uttered the name of the person in Ning Cheng’s hand, "Thunder God Emperor! Ao Laixing!"

One of the seven Supreme Martial Emperors who secretly conspired against him back in the day!

"This kid truly hasn’t disappointed me." Shi Feng said with a cold smile.

At the entrance to the Netherworld Purgatory passage, Mo Xiaoyao captured Sword Emperor Yue Xiao, and now this abnormal disciple-grandchild Ning Cheng has captured Ao Laixing’s return; it won’t be long before Yue Xiao’s soul in the Netherworld Purgatory has company!

"Master Ancestor!" Ning Cheng called out in a deep voice upon seeing Shi Feng ahead. At this moment, Ning Cheng had returned to calm, no longer bearing the previous madness and abnormal visage, at least from the surface; he looked like a normal young man.

"You’ve done well, worthy of being my disciple-grandchild of the Netherworld." Shi Feng said with a calm smile, looking at Ning Cheng in front.

"Haha! Being a disciple-grandchild of Master Ancestor, being a disciple of the Master is the greatest honor of my life as Ning Cheng!" Ning Cheng paused before Shi Feng, smiling as he spoke.

However, Shi Feng could tell that his smile was somewhat bitter!
