Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 46: The Writing of the Strong

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Writing of the Strong

Shi Feng sat down, and he sat for a whole day. Currently, the five thousand Primordial Stones beside him had all been drained of their Primordial Energy by Shi Feng. Originally, each one shimmered like a diamond, but now they had turned into dull gray pieces.

Although the essence of Primordial Energy within the stones had been drained, Shi Feng’s cultivation did not cease. Icy cold qi surged from all directions, gathering into a massive cloud of cold qi above Shi Feng’s head, seemingly enveloping the entire sky.

Following that, the cloud of cold qi slowly rotated, like a giant vortex.

"This is..." Zhang Hu stared at the sky dumbfounded. He had just witnessed Shi Feng completely draining the Primordial Energy from five thousand Primordial Stones, and now he was seeing this vast expanse of Yin Cold Energy forming in the sky.

"What kind of cultivation technique is he practicing?" Shortly after, Zhang Hu saw the huge cold qi whirlpool in the sky move like a ferocious primeval beast, rushing fiercely towards Shi Feng, and in a blink of an eye, it swallowed him whole.

"This is too insane. Absorbing so much energy all at once, he is merely a One-star Martial Spirit! His body should have exploded by now! Freak! This is too freakish; this is definitely the biggest freak in the Yunlai Empire," Zhang Hu howled in his heart.

The surging icy energy was quickly absorbed by Shi Feng’s body, and the entering Sacred Flame was also swiftly absorbed by the Sacred Flame. Then a puff of gray mist was exhaled from Shi Feng’s mouth.

This was the impurity from the icy energy Shi Feng had just absorbed. Typically, when Martial Artists cultivate, if they only absorb the primordial energy from nature, they truly digest only about one-third of it, and the rest of the useless impurities must be expelled from the body.

Thus, Martial Artists mainly rely on absorbing the pure Primordial Energy from Primordial Stones or the pills refined by Alchemy Masters.

In the Tianheng Continent, it’s challenging for Martial Artists to achieve anything without strong energy resources. Shi Feng was also thinking about how to revive Dark Evil as soon as possible, firstly due to the promises between men and secondly because the Dark Evil Qi on Dark Evil’s body was dense and pure, comparable to Primordial Stones, and could be directly used for his cultivation.

Being an Absolute Evil Corpse, Dark Evil had significant potential for further growth. Each advancement would strengthen the Dark Evil Qi emitted, which currently was on par with the Primordial Energy in Lower Grade Element Stones. If it advanced further, it could likely match the Mid-Grade Primordial Stones.

As the last breath of turbid air was exhaled by Shi Feng, he opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Hu felt as though Shi Feng was completely transformed, seemingly filled with immense power, as if with a simple movement, he could obliterate him—and Zhang Hu was a Four-star Martial Spirit, while the other was merely a One-star. Yet, Zhang Hu indeed felt this way looking at Shi Feng.

Favorably sensing his own strength, Shi Feng nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad. The strength has mostly recovered."

"Those people from the Purple Thunder Sect still haven’t come out?" Shi Feng looked at Zhang Hu, asking.

"They haven’t. I guess they probably all died in there," Zhang Hu said.

"That’s not likely," Shi Feng shook his head. "They have Martial King powerhouses among them. It’s inevitable that some might die or get injured, but it’s unlikely that they all perished."

"What should we do then? Should we just set up an ambush here? As soon as they appear, while they’re still dazed, seize the chance to take their lives?" Zhang Hu viciously suggested, having already formed a deep enmity, he had nothing else to worry about.

"No need," Shi Feng shook his head again. "With our current strength, it’s not advisable to confront a Four-star Martial King. Let’s go. A day’s time has already passed, and I should head to Moon City to meet those two clowns." After speaking, Shi Feng walked towards the right direction.

"Young Master Feng, where are we going?" Zhang Hu hurried to catch up with Shi Feng and asked. Shouldn’t we be heading back the way we came if we’re going back? It’s also the reason Zhang Hu suggested ambushing the Purple Thunder Sect just now—going back would lead us straight through the Ice Snow Forest and inevitably confront the members of the Purple Thunder Sect.

"Right!" Zhang Hu remembered that during their time in the Ice Snow Forest, Shi Feng had mentioned that there was no way back.

Shi Feng continued walking forward, pointing not far ahead and saying, "I just felt a fluctuation of space power in that direction; it must be an escape route left by an ancient supreme power for those who enter here."

"That person was that kind-hearted?" Zhang Hu muttered.

Shi Feng did not answer, but he already had the answer in his heart when he felt the fluctuation of space power.

In the past, those capable of entering here were undoubtedly powerful figures of their era, and the ancient supreme power, confident that his Heavenly Slaughter Heavenly Array was unbreakable, must also have been someone who cherished talents, thus leaving a way out for others.

"Young Master Feng, there are some characters here." Not long after, Zhang Hu saw several lines of large characters inscribed on the icy ground.

"Oh?" Hearing Zhang Hu’s words, Shi Feng stopped in his tracks and looked over in surprise. "I stumbled into this place by accident, breached numerous great formations, but alas, the final formation I faced was the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array."

"Although I am at the Martial Emperor Level, I knew I could not break through the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array, so I leave these words here as a memory—Yue Qingfeng."

"Martial Emperor, an actual Martial Emperor once came here, oh my!" Zhang Hu couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the end.

"Yue Qingfeng?" Shi Feng murmured the name, shaking his head. He had never heard of this name, but from the power left in the characters, it seemed that when he had entered, he was at the Five-star Martial Emperor Realm.

Only the inscriptions left deliberately by a Martial Emperor with formidable power could have preserved for so many years without fading on the icy surface.

Not long after, Shi Feng and Zhang Hu came across a few more lines of text.

"This old man has been at the Peak of Nine-star Martial Emperor for many years, constantly striving for the God Realm without success. Today, I am fortunate to have encountered the legendary Tianmu Ice Soul Peak and the so-called strongest Killing Array, the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array. For the chance, I decide to brave it—Tian Yazi."

"It’s actually a Nine-star Peak Martial Emperor, oh my!" Zhang Hu exclaimed again, his cry louder than before. A Nine-star Peak Martial Emperor is the mightiest under these skies.

"It’s him." Seeing the name Tian Yazi, Shi Feng also let out a soft sound of surprise.

"How so, Young Master Feng, do you know him?" When Zhang Hu asked, of course he thought Shi Feng might have heard of him and not actually known him. If he knew a Nine-star Peak Martial Emperor, why would he still be lingering in the Yunlai Empire of the Eastern Domain?

But Shi Feng indeed did not recognize him and said, "Over three thousand years ago, he was one of the most powerful Martial Emperors on the Tianheng Continent."

"So what happened to him later?" Zhang Hu asked.

"He died." Shi Feng answered casually. The name Tian Yazi, he had seen in ancient texts, which recorded that he suddenly disappeared from the Tianheng Continent one day, his whereabouts unknown. It turns out he had perished here; how tragic, a peerless powerhouse ultimately vanished inside the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array, not even leaving his bones behind.
