Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 425: Two-star Martial Venerable

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Two-star Martial Venerable

Shi Feng absorbed the Blood Arrow that spurted from the chest of the man in yellow robes, and immediately afterward, a long, blood-red thread shot out from the man’s chest wound into the palm of Shi Feng’s hand, while the man’s portly body rapidly withered away, soon becoming a withered corpse in the Death Forbidden Land. In death, he finally succeeded in his magnificent feat of weight loss.

However, he himself no longer knew.

After devouring the Power of Death, Soul Power, and blood of a Three-star Martial Venerable in yellow robes, Shi Feng not only restored the energy consumed by the use of the Full Moon Scimitar in his Dantian but also stepped into the Two-star Martial Venerable Realm as a white light flashed on his body!

On the day Piao Xueyan wielded the Full Moon Scimitar and launched an attack on Shi Feng, she had almost drained all the Primordial Power inside her body.

Yet the two times Shi Feng used the Full Moon Scimitar to launch attacks just moments ago, each time nearly depleted half of the energy in his body, but these attacks, initiated at a One-star Martial Venerable Realm, were much more powerful than Piao Xueyan’s at that time.

At that time, Piao Xueyan was also at the One-star Martial Venerable Realm, launching an attack that exhibited the strength of a Five-star Martial Venerable, whereas Shi Feng’s two attacks reached the full force of a Six-star Martial Venerate!

Although both were One-star Martial Venerables, the quantity of Primordial Power within Piao Xueyan’s body couldn’t compare to the vast energy stored in Shi Feng’s Dantian, which had merged with the Sacred Flame.

Nor could it compare in quality to the power of the Heavenly Fire Level Sacred Flame and the Nine Nether Power he cultivated himself.

At present, it seemed that the power of the Full Moon Scimitar knew no limits, with Five-star Martial Venerable Power, Six-star Martial Venerate Power—Shi Feng felt that these were still not its limits, as long as you infused your energy, it could unleash a corresponding level of power attack!

After the man in yellow robes turned into a dry corpse, a storage ring and a piece of Silver Stone flew out from his body, and only then did the corpse fall back to the ground with a "bang," kicking up quite a bit of dust that started to flutter in the air.

The Kirin King, looking at the white light of advancement flashing on Shi Feng, couldn’t help but remark with a sense of wonder, "This Evil Demon, he has advanced again! It’s only been a few days, and he went from a Martial Sect Realm martial artist to stepping into the Two-star Martial Venerable Realm just like that. The Cultivation Technique created by Emperor Nine Nether truly defies the heavens, and the Emperor truly deserved to be the strongest under our sky in his day!

However, as heaven-defying as the Emperor’s Cultivation Technique is, this Evil Demon’s talent is also definitely a heaven-defying existence. His advancement just now seemed utterly effortless, without any bottleneck—it’s as if he doesn’t need to comprehend Martial Arts at all, as long as there’s enough Primordial Power in his Dantian, he can break through whenever he wants!

Such a heaven-defying talent is absolutely unheard of; he seems to have been born for Martial Arts. If he’s allowed to continue growing, it’s not impossible that his future achievements could surpass those of Emperor Nine Nether."

Looking at Shi Feng and thinking of his heaven-defying talent, the Kirin King suddenly came to this conclusion!

Once he realized what he had concluded, even he was startled!

Then, the Kirin King stared at Shi Feng’s handsome, youthful face, as if he could see the boy’s future growth, as if he could see him laughing proudly in the Nine Heavens, looking down upon all beneath the heavens.

Shi Feng put the Full Moon Scimitar back into his storage ring, then immediately reached out with his right hand, and grabbed the approaching Silver Stone and the storage ring of the man in yellow robes. After placing that storage ring into his own, Shi Feng focused his gaze on the Silver Stone in his hand; at the same time, his Soul Power also delved into the Silver Stone.

What secrets did this piece of Silver Stone hold? What power was inside? Why could it ward off attacks from that mysterious existence just by being carried on one’s person?

The Kirin King followed suit, his gaze too focusing on the Silver Stone in Shi Feng’s hands, a complex expression crossing his face. Originally, this very Silver Stone, crucial to the upcoming life and death, belonged to him. Just as he was about to snatch it, that fat man had stolen it away.

Looking at the Silver Stone, the Kirin King hesitated to speak. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

Under those circumstances, had Shi Feng not been there, and had he been alone, not only might the fat man have taken the Silver Stone, but he also might have been killed by the fat man.

Moreover, when that fat man had used his Ultimate Skill, generating a powerful suction, it had nearly pulled him in. It was Shi Feng who had grabbed him at that moment, saving his life.

That the Silver Stone ended up with Shi Feng was indisputably right.

Thinking of these things, the Kirin King inwardly exclaimed in astonishment. He had been one of the top powerhouses in the Heavenly Mist Empire. Wherever the Kirin King went, who didn’t show him respect? Yet, since arriving in this Death Forbidden Land, in comparison to those people, he had turned into a second-rate Martial Artist. Those capable of killing him were everywhere.

I must become stronger! The Kirin King silently resolved in his heart.

"Here you go," Shi Feng said indifferently to the Kirin King, handing over the Silver Stone that was in his hand.

Shi Feng had examined and sensed it with his Soul Power but came up with nothing. This Silver Stone, as far as Shi Feng could tell, was no different from an ordinary rock apart from its silver color and showed no sign of any mysterious power.

Yet, it was mysteriously effective. Carrying it on one’s person in the Death Forbidden Land could inexplicably avert a sudden, inexplicable death.

Perhaps the mysterious power within the Silver Stone was akin to the perils of the Death Forbidden Land – invisible, intangible, but mysteriously there all the same.

When Shi Feng handed over the Silver Stone, the Kirin King was initially stunned, then asked Shi Feng with some disbelief, "This is for me?"

"Yes," Shi Feng nodded.

The Kirin King looked at the Silver Stone, possibly a determinant of his own life and death. He hesitated, then waved his hand at Shi Feng and said, "Although I was the first to find this Silver Stone, had Young Master Feng not been here, it would have fallen into that fat man’s hands, and moreover, it’s very likely that I would have been killed by him. It’s only right that you have this Silver Stone, Young Master Feng; don’t worry about me."

"If I’m telling you to hold onto it, then just hold onto it!" Shi Feng said, "I’m hard to kill, not as easily as you are!"

"Uh..." Hearing Shi Feng’s words, the Kirin King made a bewildered "uh" sound, as if Shi Feng had implied that his own life was fragile and easily forfeited!

Looking again at Shi Feng and at the Silver Stone in his hand, the Kirin King finally accepted it. His expression turned solemn and he spoke earnestly to Shi Feng, "If I manage to leave the Death Forbidden Land alive this time, should Young Master Feng ever need anything in the future, just say the word. I will go through fire and water, and stop at nothing!"
