Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 640 - 630: The Monarch’s Position!

Chapter 640: Chapter 630: The Monarch’s Position!

"Greetings, Master!"

The Master-Servant Seal was embedded; the Master-Servant Contract between Shi Feng and the Corpse Emperor was established. From this moment further, the Corpse Emperor would be utterly controlled by Shi Feng, with his life and death hanging on Shi Feng’s single thought.

At that moment, facing Shi Feng, who stood proudly above, the Corpse Emperor lowered his jet-black, haughty head.

Shi Feng nodded slightly and then asked the Corpse Emperor, "What is your name?"

"Me?" After hearing Shi Feng’s words, the Corpse Emperor raised his head and replied, "I have no name. Ever since I came into this world, whether it be you from the Human Clan or other living beings, even my former master, the Corpse Control Great Emperor, all called me the Corpse Emperor."

"From now on, you shall be named Di Sha," Shi Feng said.

He now counted amongst his subjects, Dark Evil, Earth Fiend, Blood Fiend, the sealed land of the Chu Family, that mutated Emperor-level Yin Corpse, Black Evil, and now this Corpse Emperor, whom he named Di Sha.

"Di Sha?" The Corpse Emperor murmured the name Shi Feng had bestowed upon him, with no likeness or rejection evident on his face; then he nodded toward Shi Feng in the sky, saying, "Since you are my master and it is the name you grant me, from now on, I shall be known as Di Sha."

"First, tend to your injuries and recover your strength. Afterward, once you’ve healed, we will enter the eighth floor of the Martial Arts Sky Tower!" Shi Feng continued, and as he spoke, he tossed a storage ring toward the Corpse Emperor below. Inside the storage ring were pills that restored Primordial Power and healed wounds.

Now missing his left hand and with an exploded right hand, the Corpse Emperor could only bite the storage ring in his mouth to grasp it.

However, despite the damage to both hands and the significant reduction in battle power, this Corpse Emperor was still an Emperor Level Corpse—concentrating all his strength, even a headbutt could exhibit the power of a One-star Martial Emperor!

In the future, Shi Feng could also find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help him forge two new hands! The loss of hands was not a difficult matter to rectify.

Afterward, Di Sha swallowed the pills for restoring Primordial Power and healing his wounds, beginning to sit on the ground and recover his injuries and power.

Shi Feng, in turn, hovered and sat in the void, waiting for Di Sha to recover while also circulating the Nine Nether Technique to heal his own injuries, also beginning his cultivation! From within the storage ring, he unleashed densely-packed Primordial Stones, which burst forth and released copious amounts of pure Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi that Shi Feng absorbed.

...

Three days passed again.

In the Underground Palace outside the Martial Arts Sky Tower, the twelve powerhouses of the Lann Family looked towards the Tower, which remained still, as one of the old antiquities spoke, "It’s been twenty days since he entered the seventh floor. Most likely, he has perished within the seventh floor. Such a pity for a genius of his generation!"

As the voice of the old antique faded, another elderly voice followed, "The operation of the Martial Arts Sky Tower consumes countless resources and Primordial Stones from our Lann Family. Since he has perished, we should retract the Tower."

Hearing these words from the two old timers, Lann Yuan quickly turned around, his voice filled with entreaty as he spoke to them:

"Ancestors, let’s wait a bit longer! Perhaps he is still facing the challenges. If the Martial Arts Sky Tower is retracted, he won’t be able to exit the Tower. If he dies inside the Sky Tower, then he will truly die."

"Still breaking through?" An old antique said coldly upon hearing Lann Yuan’s words:

"He has been on the seventh floor of the Martial Arts Sky Tower for twenty days now, how could he still be breaking through? I remember, our ancestor also entered the seventh floor back in the day, but he failed and came back out on the third day. Do you really think his Martial Arts Talent is higher than that of our Lann family’s ancestor? Not only did he not die on the seventh floor, but he has also been on it for twenty days!

Lann Yuan, these words of yours are an insult to our powerful ancestor! As the Monarch of a nation, you have become more and more audacious!"

Lann Yuan, of course, recognized this speaking old antique, a relative from his great grandfather’s generation, a half-brother of his great grandfather. It was said that the struggle for succession in that generation was intense, and this ancestor had taken part in it but ended up failing, of course!

Hearing his words, Lann Yuan knew that the disputes that occurred between him and his great grandfather still filled his heart with resentment to this day, so much so that he now accused Lann Yuan of staining the ancestors’ name!

Nevertheless, Lann Yuan still bowed his head and said to the old antiques: "As for insulting the ancestor, Lann Yuan naturally wouldn’t dare! Esteemed ancestors, please understand! The Sealing Power is becoming weaker and weaker, and our Lann family desperately needs that powerful aid.

If he hasn’t died, would our Lann family not be missing out on such a powerful aid?"

After listening to Lann Yuan’s words, that old antique immediately spoke with displeasure:

"Activating the Martial Arts Sky Tower, we are constantly depleting substantial resources. If we keep expending resources in this manner, who knows how many years it will take for our Lann family to have the resources to open this Martial Arts Sky Tower again. By then, our Imperial Family may fall into decline, the mighty will whither, Lann Yuan, can you bear this responsibility?"

Upon hearing the retort from the always confrontational old antique, Lann Yuan started to feel a fire burning within him, and immediately, his deferential face turned cold as he stared at the old antique and said:

"Three days, three more days. If after three days, there is still no movement from the Martial Arts Sky Tower, then I, Lann Yuan, will abdicate in favor of someone more capable and no longer serve as Monarch of the Tianlan Empire. I will join you esteemed ancestors in secluding myself for Martial Arts cultivation, and Prince Lann Yue from the Yuel branch will assume the position of Monarch of the Tianlan Empire."

Prince Lann Yue was the descendant of the confrontational old antique.

"Oh?" After hearing Lann Yuan’s words, the old antique first showed surprise on his face, followed by delight, and he laughed, "Lann Yuan, since you’re putting the position of Monarch at stake, three days it is, then. After that time, you must do as you’ve promised!"

Having said this to Lann Yuan, the old antique then turned his head, addressing the other old antiques, "Everyone, let’s give him three days then, shall we? What do you think, is that acceptable?"

"Since Lann Yuan is staking his position as Monarch, let’s give it three days!" one old antique spoke up.

However, another old antique, after hearing Lann Yuan’s guarantee, sighed and said: "Yuan, why must you do this? Although we see each other quite often, I know that you have paid a heavy price and put in a lot of effort to ascend to the imperial throne."

"Then let’s just wait another three days, sigh!"

Subsequently, one by one, the old antiques spoke up, some were silent, some sighed, some were indifferent...

The Golden Dragon Pillar in the center, that strongest, oldest, most senior old antique did not speak. But his silence indicated to the other old antiques that he had no objections!

"Ah, my Imperial Nephew, why must you act so rashly?" sighed Prince Guang, Lann Guang, to Lann Yuan.

Lann Yuan did not speak, but instead turned around and looked towards the Martial Arts Sky Tower, gazing at the brightly shining seventh floor, and murmured, "My boy! You must show some spirit for me! If you truly have died, then you really have let me down!"
