Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 37 Tianmu Ice Soul Peak

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Tianmu Ice Soul Peak

"What is this?" Shi Feng, who had always been unflappable, couldn’t help but show shock at the sight of the towering ice peak before him. "Tianmu Ice Soul Peak!" Shi Feng exclaimed loudly.

Tianmu Ice Soul Peak, according to legend, was located in the North Domain of Tianheng Continent and was the largest ice peak on the continent.

Historical records stated that tens of thousands of years ago, for some unknown reason, Tianmu Ice Soul Peak suddenly disappeared from Tianheng Continent overnight and remains a mystery to this day.

"Who on earth has such grand means to create a space here and silently move the entire Tianmu Ice Soul Peak from the North Domain to this place?" Shi Feng murmured to himself as he looked at the Tianmu Ice Soul Peak ahead. Even as one of the most powerful individuals under these skies, he couldn’t help but marvel at the grandeur of the act.

Not even Emperor Nine Nether could have achieved this in the past.

"Young Master Feng, look, there are people ahead," Zhang Hu said, pointing ahead to Shi Feng.

About five hundred meters ahead, Shi Feng spotted a group of thirteen individuals dressed in purple, among them a familiar face in a purple robe—it was Lei Yi, the Family Head of the Lei Family from Moon City.

At that moment, the sky where Shi Feng and Zhang Hu stood was bright, with no sun yet shining as bright as daylight. In the region where the thirteen individuals stood, a fierce wind howled, and the sky began to fill with a blizzard.

Not only that, but amidst the snowstorm, these individuals were continuously unleashing Martial Skills, bursts of purple Thunder Light flashing about, all displaying pure Thunder Attribute abilities as if they were battling some entity. However, from Shi Feng and Zhang Hu’s line of sight, there was no one else but them within the blizzard.

"Judging by their attire, they appear to be from the Purple Thunder Sect," Zhang Hu said, looking ahead.

"Purple Thunder Sect?" Shi Feng inquired.

"That is a powerful Sect within the Yunlai Empire, second only to the Skywind Sect in strength," Zhang Hu explained.

Upon hearing Zhang Hu’s words, Shi Feng nodded, surmising that Lei Yi had established a connection with the Purple Thunder Sect.

With the Hai Family annihilated by Shi Feng, even if the remaining three of the Four Great Families managed to decipher this relic together, Lei Yi understood that all treasures would be completely usurped by the other two families. When that time came, it was possible that those two families would join forces against the Lei Family, making it difficult for the Lei Family to contend on its own. Therefore, Lei Yi climbed up to the Purple Thunder Sect and informed them of this relic’s existence.

Given Lei Yi’s surname and his Thunder Attribute Cultivation Technique, it was possible that he originally came from the Purple Thunder Sect; he wanted the Four Great Families to share the treasures within the relic while the Hai Family was still around. But fate had other plans, as a monstrous young man—Shi Feng—emerged in Moon City and singlehandedly destroyed the Hai Family there.

Turning back to Lei Yi’s relationship with the Purple Thunder Sect, they were present here ultimately because of Shi Feng’s advent.

"Indeed, it is the Purple Thunder Sect, no mistake!" Zhang Hu said confidently, then pointed to a purple-haired young man ahead, saying to Shi Feng, "Look at that young man with the long purple hair. He is Lei Xiao, the Young Lord of the Purple Thunder Sect and one of the young geniuses in our Yunlai Empire, ranking fifth on the genius battle list. At only eighteen, he has already become an Eight-star Martial Spirit powerhouse."

"Rumors say that on the day Lei Xiao was born, there was thunder and lightning over the Purple Thunder Mountain where the Purple Thunder Sect is located. It is said that Lei Xiao is the reincarnation of the Thunder God, with a body inherently born as the Heavenly Thunder Divine Body."

"Heavenly Thunder Divine Body?" With interest piqued by Zhang Hu’s words, Shi Feng’s gaze shifted to Lei Xiao, the young man with long purple hair ahead.

Lei Xiao was enveloped by whirls of purple Thunder Light, wielding a Purple Sword similarly shrouded with purple Thunder.

"This sword is named the Thunderbolt Sword, a Fifth Grade Thunder Mystical Weapon," Zhang Hu explained to Shi Feng. "It was specially commissioned by the Purple Thunder Sect and created by Liang Han, an Empire Fifth-Order Alchemist Master, for Lei Xiao. With this sword, Lei Xiao’s strength is said to double, and rumors abound that he can fight a One-star Martial King without defeat."

As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, Lei Xiao’s Thunderbolt Sword flew out of his hands, streaking forward. In an instant, the Void was filled with a deafening roar of thunder, and successive bolts of thick purple Thunder Light struck down from the void, each accurately hitting the Thunderbolt Sword as it sped forward.

"This is the Purple Thunder Sect’s Secret Skill—Thunder Summoning Sword! The power of Thunder imbues the sword, and with each strike of Thunder, the might of the sword intensifies," Zhang Hu continued.

Shi Feng glanced at Zhang Hu and asked, "You seem to know him pretty well, are you guys close?"

"Ha ha!" Zhang Hu, the robust man, scratched his head and gave a simple, bashful smile in response to Shi Feng’s jest, "Young Master Feng is joking. I know of him, but how would someone like him be familiar with me? The deeds of such blessed figures are well-known throughout the country. And since I am also a martial artist specializing in the Thunder Attribute, it’s not surprising that I pay extra attention to him."

"And there’s another one!" Zhang Hu pointed to another man wearing a purple robe, a middle-aged man of about forty, "That person is Lei Bo, an Elder of the Purple Thunder Sect and a renowned Martial King Realm powerhouse who is rumored to have stepped into the Four-star Martial King Realm."

Shi Feng nodded; although Zhang Hu couldn’t discern the Martial King Realm’s Cultivation Levels, he wasn’t wrong—this man truly was a Four-star Martial King.

Lei Bo fought with his bare fists, launching fist after fist of Thunder Fist made from purple Thunder, each punch thundering into the Void as if to shatter the sky itself.

Besides Lei Bo, Lei Xiao, and Lei Yi, the remaining ten Purple Thunder Sect disciples, aged around fourteen or fifteen, five males and five females, were all at the Martial Master Realm. In the Yunlai Empire, reaching the Martial Master Realm at fourteen or fifteen years old was indicative of exceptional talent.

That the Purple Thunder Sect sent only a dozen people to this relic indicated they didn’t place much importance on it, with the main goal being to train their disciples.

Who could have imagined that such a remote place like Moon City had a relic left behind by a once peerless Great Emperor? Even Shi Feng had not expected this when he arrived. The four City Lords of the insignificant Moon City were purely frogs at the bottom of a well, aware only of the dangers and speculating about the treasures within.

Whatever the perceived dangers and treasures, they were surely of no concern to a Great Sect like the Purple Thunder Sect.

"Young Master Feng, what do we do next?" Zhang Hu turned and consulted Shi Feng.

"Judging by their state, they must have entered a real Illusion Array. Let’s go over and have a look," Shi Feng said, striding forward.

"A real Illusion Array?" Zhang Hu asked, puzzled by the unfamiliar term Shi Feng had used.

"A real Illusion Array is a profound and mystical Array," Shi Feng explained as they walked. "Although everything within the Array is illusory, once inside, everything feels even more real than the actual world. Look at them—they are fighting against what they see within the Array."

Shi Feng and Zhang Hu had only taken a few steps when delicate white snowflakes began to gently drift down from the sky.
