Chapter 1162 - 1140: Challenging the Netherworld, Bound by Glory!

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1140: Challenging the Netherworld, Bound by Glory!

The blue light screen filled the sky, crystal-clear like jade, merging the Sky Vault with the waves into one color; in an instant, heaven and earth were filled with endless moisture rising up, making the light overflow with color, and the huge blue waves could be seen even from a thousand miles away.

Found it!

In comparison to Tian Fang and Yun Wei’s joy of finding the Nine Springs Family, the numerous warriors above the distant river were inexplicably horrified.

"What is this, could it be a world!"

"The water merges with heaven and earth into one color, space seems illusory and colorful; could there be some treasure!"

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The water screen was splendid, glimmering with light, but within this heaven-covering moisture, there was a whiff of the decay of ages.

It was as if it had been at rest for a long time, not flowing at all; this was not the decay of an ancient tree rotting, but a sense of stubborn and conservative decay.

"Who goes there!"

The next moment, a thunderous shout came from within the water screen.

Tian Fang and Yun Wei exchanged a glance, before Tian Fang stepped forward to the center of the light screen and called out, "Border Wasteland Gu Yuan Tribe Warrior Tian Fang, here to pay a visit to the Nine Springs Family!"

What

"Gu Yuan Tribe!"

Inside the light screen, two figures exchanged glances, both seeing a flash of shock in each other’s eyes.

They have truly come!

The next moment, an older warrior suppressed the astonishment in his heart and then shouted sternly, "Our Nine Springs Family has been closed off to the world for many years and does not come into contact with the outside; we have never heard of any Gu Yuan Tribe, and our family also does not entertain outsiders. Fearing your ignorance, you should quickly leave!"

Outside the light screen barrier, after exchanging glances with Tian Fang, Yun Wei gave a cold laugh.

If they refuse to come out, then we will break in!

Break in!

"I’ve heard that the Nine Springs Family’s legacy runs through ancient times, with a profound and boundless foundation, and the Family Town Martial Arts Nine Springs True Scriptures even point directly to the king’s Law; being new to the tribe, I do not yet know how the heroes of the world operate. Today, I would like to learn a few moves from the younger generation of your esteemed family. Please grant me your guidance!"

"Presumptuous!"

Immediately, a wave of anger emanated from the barrier, the Nine Springs Family being a king-level power, being challenged at the doorstep by a junior was a direct slap to the face.

"Gu Yuan Tian Fang, here today to invite a same-generation warrior of the Nine Springs Family to battle, I hope for your guidance!"

"Gu Yuan Tian Fang, here today to invite a same-generation warrior of the Nine Springs Family to battle, I hope for your guidance!"

"Gu Yuan Tian Fang, here today to invite a same-generation warrior of the Nine Springs Family to battle, I hope for your guidance!"

...

Tian Fang’s voice boomed like thunder, spreading around swiftly. The Angry Spring River was wide and torrential, with a vast watershed area.

Naturally, there were numerous tribes proliferating around, with two tribes located on both sides of the river within dozens of miles, not to mention the many tribe people fishing on the river’s surface.

Tian Fang’s voice could be said to be transmitted unerringly, word for word, to these people’s ears.

"You rascal, don’t be so arrogant!"

This time, the two warriors within the barrier could no longer sit still; they directly burst out of the barrier and stood in the air, looking at Tian Fang and Yun Wei from afar.

The two warriors possessed the power of Stage Seven Realm of the Towering Realm but were still in middle age, clearly having exhausted their potential, which was why they were stationed to guard the entrance of the barrier.

"I’ve heard that the Nine Springs Family of the Southern Domain of the Eastern Wasteland has an ancient legacy, and their Nine Springs True Scripture is unfathomably versatile. Yearning to learn, I’ve come to seek a few pointers from peers of the Nine Springs Family."

Tian Fang’s expression was calm; he had anticipated this, and no matter how the Nine Springs Family closed themselves off, they were still a genuine king-level tribe. He framed this challenge as a battle among peers.

In the Desolate Land, it was very common for tribes and peers to engage in mutual sparring.

Defeated!

The only explanation would be that one’s skills were mediocre, and it would not be shameful; in the future, after learning from their shame, they would return stronger, and the older generation of warriors would naturally not intervene.

"You!"

One of the middle-aged warriors who emerged from the barrier shouted angrily, sensing the aura on Tian Fang’s body and the ethereal, misty silhouette behind him. His eyes revealed wariness.

But deep in his pupils, there was also a hint of deep helplessness. No matter what, the Nine Springs Family was a power with a king at its core, having inherited through ancient times. It wasn’t just about legends; even half-king strong ones were plentiful in number.

But what of it!

Would they ask those white-haired, decrepit old folks to come out and do battle with the youth standing before them? Even if they won, the Nine Springs Family would still be defeated!

If it weren’t for successive generations of warriors fading away, why would the reclusive Nine Springs Family reach out to the Wind Fire Area!

Now the Gu Yuan Tribe had come knocking at the door; to accept or not accept the battle!

"Uncle Jiu, our Nine Springs Family’s inheritance runs through ancient times, we fear no challenges!"

At that moment, a young voice came from within the barrier, followed by the resplendent luminescence on the azure water screen, with the light shimmering, droplets directly took the shape of a human figure.

As the water blue faded, a youth in a blue battle robe appeared.

"Nine Springs Family Nine Su."

The youth appeared and swept his gaze over Tian Fang and Yun Wei. When he saw Yun Wei, his eyes abruptly narrowed.

And his strength was slightly lower than that of Tian Fang, merely at the early stage of Stage Eight Realm of the Towering Realm.

"I accept your challenge!"

Tian Fang, likewise, looked at the youth before him. Somehow, the young man clearly seemed too mature for his age, too composed; he did not possess that sharp edge distinctive of young warriors!

Correct!

The entire person was like a tranquil and undisturbed deep pool!

This sort of aura was also found in the other two warriors guarding the barrier’s entrance, both owning it.

Should it have been the Gu Yuan Tribe being challenged in this manner, the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors would have swarmed in response by now, but these two warriors only had anger in their eyes and did nothing else!

"Gu Yuan Tian Fang!"

The next moment, Tian Fang saluted with folded fists and created some distance, while Yun Wei and the others also pushed themselves far away.

Buzz!

The next moment, eight blue, ethereal springs appeared, hovering beside Jiu Su, protecting him as torrents of water cascaded from each spring’s eyes.

"Kill!"

This moment seemed to clarify for Tian Fang why the Nine Springs Family was as such, with some decay radiating from deep within; even secluding themselves within locked domains and clinging to the old ways was no exaggeration.

They had already lost their pioneering sharpness!

The Mysterious Yellow Array Plate in his hand lashed out, striking directly towards the spring water. He had already started to gradually blend the Formation Way with Martial Arts.

Boom!

The next moment, the sky filled with exploding water droplets as one spring shattered, dragging down the other seven with it. Amidst the brilliance of water in the air, a blue figure was sent flying backward!

Amidst the splattering brilliance, a trace of crimson was visible!

"Jiu Su!"

Immediately, two figures rushed anxiously toward the figure sent flying.

Jiu Su, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, shrugged off the support of two tribespeople and stared intently at Tian Fang, stepping forward once more to stand in front of him.

"Jiu Su."

Ignoring the calls of the warrior behind him, Jiu Su waved his hand.

"Again. Although the Nine Springs Family has closed itself off from the world, if someone comes knocking at our door, even if Jiu Su is defeated, I will not falter in battle. The glory of the Nine Springs will not be tarnished by the younger generation!"

"Fight!"

It was like a roar ripped from his throat, and this time, Jiu Su charged towards Tian Fang.

Boom!

As expected, he was again sent flying by the Mysterious Yellow Array Plate, crashing into the barrier of water.

In the Void, faint blood-colored fog and mist scattered.

"The eternal Nine Springs will not suffer disgrace. Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Boom!

Raging torrents gushed forth, transforming into eight heaven-collapsing water dragons that tore through the barrier, surging towards Tian Fang!

"Seal and Imprison!"

The next moment, Tian Fang bellowed. Suddenly, atop the Array Plate, eight fluctuations stirred and rose, manifesting and interweaving in the Void, astonishingly forming an octagonal seal that plummeted toward the water dragons rushing forward!

The water dragons, condensed from the gathered water and crystal clear as if solid, froze in the Void in an instant, reflecting a nine-colored divine brilliance under the sunlight.

Crack!

Suddenly, the eight water dragons, formed of water, shattered, falling like crystals.

"You dare!"

With a step forward, Tian Fang thus entered the barrier!

And Yun Wei, following closely behind, also passed through the dazzling water curtain and entered.

Jiu Su’s performance had significantly altered their perception of him; although the pioneering sharpness was lost, the fervor in his heart was not.

This was a world of silence and a world of water!

Whoosh!

Upon entering the barrier, Tian Fang and his companion looked out to feel an ancient, time-worn atmosphere, and even more, a sense of decay and stillness. The realm within the barrier was very quiet, with only the sound of babbling water waves.

Looking around, they saw a nation of marshes, where massive Heavy Warships were linked head to tail, forming thoroughfares.

The waves stormed!

The grandest of the ships in the middle rose a thousand feet high, pressing down upon the surface of the water like an ancient behemoth, radiating a terrifying presence.

Upon the Arrow Tower of the heavy warship, four ancient characters appeared, though somewhat blurred and indistinct.

The people of the Nine Springs Family lived aboard these Massive Warships, with their pavilions and jade columns, all exuding a sense of time-worn history.

Each of these ships was covered in green rust, yet one could faintly discern the scars of battle upon them—slashes and hacks—and some of the ships had either their bows or sterns destroyed!

And here they floated upon the surface of the water!

Silence!

Gone was the once powerful authority that suppressed waves for thousands of miles!

These scar-laden Heavy Warships, once fierce battle vessels, bore witness to the Nine Springs Family’s glorious past, even as it now sealed itself in decline!

Struggling to his feet, Jiu Su looked at the distant ships emanating an aura of decay, his eyes filled with nostalgia. These fleets were the glory no member of the Nine Springs Family could forget!

Once upon a time, the warships of the Nine Springs Family soared, conquering the Hundred Clans. Now, they could only weep in sorrow.

However, this was glory as well as shackles!

Those warships that bore witness to the Nine Springs’ glory had also become the very chains dragging the family down.

Immobilized by the lingering afterglow of past glory and unwilling to pursue progress, this was a catastrophe for the entire race. What use even a king to uphold them!

"Jiu Lin steps forward to accept battle!"

The next moment, from atop another warship, another blue figure emerged, immediately causing the water’s surface to ripple with vast waves!

...

A fleet of Heavy Warships came together, pressing down upon a thousand miles of water territory. Beneath the ships, at a depth of a thousand feet, nine black spring eyes stood side by side.

"Sigh."

A silent sigh, not knowing from which spring it emerged, carried a sense of helplessness and sorrow.
