Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 185: Shi! Jin! Tian!

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Shi! Jin! Tian!

Han Yan, the son of Marquis Zibo, Han Wenjing, was only seventeen when he stepped into the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm.

From a young age, Marquis Zibo, Han Wenjing, discovered that Han Yan’s talent was unsurpassed, fearing that those with ulterior motives might learn of it and strangle him in the cradle, so he kept Han Yan hidden, instructing him to diligently practice Martial Arts without others knowing.

Han Yan did not disappoint Han Wenjing’s expectations, and he rigorously trained in Martial Arts. By the age of ten, he had entered the Nine-Star Martial King Realm. In that same year, Han Yan ventured into a cave within the Han Family, known as the Death Forbidden Land.

For hundreds of years, those who entered the Death Forbidden Land of the Han Family never returned, and over the centuries, no one knew exactly what lay within. To break through the Nine-Star Martial King Realm, Han Yan kept it a secret from all of the Han Family, even his biological father, Han Wenjing, and ventured alone into the Death Forbidden Land, where he remained for seven years.

At the time, everyone in the Han Family thought that Han Yan, their genius, had perished in the Death Forbidden Land. To their surprise, seven years later, Han Yan emerged from the Death Forbidden Land. No one knew what had transpired inside, but over the course of those seven years, his cultivation level had advanced from the Nine-Star Martial King to the Nine-Star Martial Emperor.

Not long after Han Yan’s return from the Death Forbidden Land, the Yunlai Empire was thrown into chaos due to the egregious actions of Long Ao. Overjoyed, Han Wenjing believed that Han Yan’s timely return was divine assistance, that it was the Heavenly Destiny for the Han Family. With the world in turmoil, it was the perfect moment for the Han Family to rise and compete with the other powerhouses, marking the beginning of their true ascent.

Years ago, the Sacred Ancestor of the Long Family had overturned the previous dynasty and established the Han Dynasty with his overwhelming Martial prowess, claiming the throne and reigning for a thousand years. Now that the Han Family had produced an exceptional Martial Emperor in Han Yan, it seemed possible for them to seize the land, deter all challengers, and found the Han Dynasty, achieving eternal dominion.

As Han Yan was flying towards the residence of Marquis Zibo, suddenly, a streak of silver light flashed before him. Already restless in spirit, Han Yan nearly collided with it. At that moment, the silver light halted its space-breaking motion, revealing a silver-armored, silver-helmeted junior general holding a silver spear, who pointed it at Han Yan and shouted, "Are you blind? You almost ran into this junior general. How do you fly? Have your cultivation efforts gone to the dogs?"

Another taunt about cultivation going to the dogs immediately enraged Han Yan, who bellowed, "Seeking death!" His purple hammers erupted again with fierce purple lightning. Swung with force, two massive phantom images of the purple hammers formed in the void like two small hills, striking from both sides toward the silver figure with a ferocious crash.

"Presumptuous!" The silver-armored junior general sneered as he shook his silver spear, striking left and right with ferocious force, targeting the giant purple hammer phantoms that were bearing down from each side. "Bang! Bang!" Two explosive sounds followed, and under the assault of the junior general’s silver spear, the phantom images of the purple hammers instantly shattered.

"How can this be!" Han Yan stared in shock, hardly able to believe what he had witnessed. A random encounter had easily defeated his powerful attack.

Immediately after, the silver-armored junior general thrust his spear forward, stopping it right in front of Han Yan. The sharp tip of the spear glinted with a silver chill, its reflection turning Han Yan’s face pale, but his expression remained wooden as if he did not sense the danger that had befallen him, and he muttered under his breath, "How could this be... how could this be..." Consecutive setbacks dealt a blow to Han Yan, who regarded himself as the Heavenly Pride and the best in the world, and now he couldn’t face reality.

"Hmph, boring!" Seeing Han Yan’s demeanor, the silver-armored junior general snorted coldly, withdrew his silver spear, and continued, "This time, I’ll spare you. But if we meet again and you dare to be disrespectful to this junior general, I will kill you!"

After saying this, the silver-armored junior general no longer paid any attention to Han Yan, transforming into a silver streak as he broke through space and departed.

Han Yan stared blankly at the sky, as if bewitched, muttering to himself, "How could this be... How could this be... Am I really just a low-level martial artist? Anyone I encounter could easily defeat me! Father said I was unbeatable under the heavens, could all of that have been a lie? A lie to me? Why! Ah!"

Han Yan faced the sky and let out a furious roar!

"Boom!" The sky flashed with lightning and thunder, followed by a sudden downpour of rain and storm.

"Is it raining?" Shi Feng looked up at the sky, braving the fierce storm; his dark silhouette and the cape fluttering behind him appeared like a mad demon in the rain.

But at his level, such a downpour naturally couldn’t touch him; it evaporated before even reaching him, repelled by his power.

"Young Master Feng!" Just then, Elder Changqing, riding a twin-winged Hei Hu, arrived beside Shi Feng and said, "The scouts have reported—the Beiling King Long Wei is leading the northern army towards the North City Gate, preparing to attack the Imperial City!"

"Oh? Choosing precisely this moment to strike?" Shi Feng said, looking up at the stormy sky.

"The martial art that Beiling King practices is of the Water System. He has an array called the Tidal Wave Array. Right now, as the downpour persists, the Tidal Wave Array can gather the momentum of the rain and then surge towards the Imperial City, planning to flood both the Imperial City and the Royal Forbidden Army. Look! The momentum of the rain is already changing."

As Elder Changqing spoke, the downpour in the sky began to shift, seemingly drawn towards the north.

"Oh! Using the power of nature to set up the Tidal Wave Array, let’s go and see how powerful it is!" Shi Feng commanded his Ghost Wolf and flew north with Elder Changqing.

The world was experiencing fierce rain that was now all gathering to the north. When Shi Feng and Elder Changqing arrived at the North City Gate, the sky was boiling with torrential waves, churning violently, roaring like primordial beasts.

And within the raging waves, one could faintly see figures clad in armored soldiers’ attire.

Elder Changqing said to Shi Feng, "It’s said that Long Wei has twenty thousand soldiers under his command, all practicing Water Martial Arts. Right now, Long Wei should be combining the power of those soldiers to deploy this Tidal Wave Array."

"Mhm." After hearing Elder Changqing’s words, Shi Feng nodded. The surging waves in the void were still growing in strength, and if this continued, the sky would soon become a raging ocean, pouring down and potentially completely destroying the Imperial City.

At this moment, figures were breaking through space, coming in their direction, keeping a certain distance from the torrent, just like Shi Feng and Elder Changqing, observing the water momentum. Suddenly, Shi Feng’s body shivered violently, his face that had been calm all this time suddenly distorted, his fists clenched tightly, fingers digging into the palms, drawing blood without seeming to feel it. His body shook violently as he gritted his teeth and spat out three words, "Shi! Jin! Tian!"
