Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 646 - 636: He! He’s Advanced Again!

Chapter 646: Chapter 636: He! He’s Advanced Again!

"Ah! You hit me! You actually dared to hit me! You dared to hit your master!" Shi Feng, held in Di Sha’s hand, was punched again by Di Sha and yet managed to act convincingly, shouting angrily at Di Sha.

Di Sha and Shi Feng had a Master-Servant Contract, so he surely knew that the trouble before him was fake!

Looking at that face he had long wanted to beat up severely, roaring at him nonstop, Di Sha did not wait for Shi Feng to control him and again raised his left fist, punching that face over and over again!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" As Di Sha relentlessly punched that face, he immediately felt a rush of exhilaration flooding his body, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for so long eased with each punch.

Below, Shi Feng’s thoughts stirred, and the Blood-colored Blaze that burnt the heavens and earth around him rapidly converged from all directions toward him, swiftly flowing back into his physical body!

Then, with a swift movement, Shi Feng darted upwards, quickly arriving beside Di Sha, looking mockingly at the "Mirage" that had transformed into his own likeness!

"Finish it off. Let’s see what the ninth layer holds," Shi Feng said, gazing at his own battered "self."

By this moment, Shi Feng had already discovered that the "Mirage," after taking that full-powered punch from Di Sha, had lost the ability to resist. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended up so pitifully in Di Sha’s grasp.

Then, Di Sha’s left fist, once more drawing power, lifted again. At that moment, the "Mirage," eyes wide with terror, let out a desperate roar: "No!"

"Bang!" Di Sha’s mercilessly mighty punch struck the head of the "Mirage" disguised as Shi Feng, and that head instantly burst open like a watermelon!

However, that gory scene appeared only for an instant. Gradually, both the shattered head and the beheaded corpse faded into the air and disappeared.

As the body vanished, the world around them underwent ground-shaking changes. The ground below disappeared, the surrounding void as well, and suddenly Shi Feng and Di Sha found themselves in an endless expanse of purple space.

"This is the true appearance of the eighth layer? That world was all reshaped by the Mirage’s power?" Shi Feng muttered as he observed the boundless purple space.

Following that, a majestic and indifferent voice echoed in Shi Feng’s mind: "The eighth layer has been passed; do you wish to enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower’s Ultimate Layer, the ninth layer?" This voice was the same that had sounded when Shi Feng had cleared the seventh layer.

This time, without any hesitation, Shi Feng responded, "Enter!"

As soon as Shi Feng’s words fell, a burst of purple light flashed on both him and Di Sha, and they vanished from that purple space.

...

Outside the Martial Arts Sky Tower, in the Underground Palace!

At this moment, the Underground Palace was in a complete uproar! A series of elder, incredulous exclamations resounded continuously, echoing throughout the palace.

Twelve gazes were firmly fixed on the peak of the Martial Arts Sky Tower. At this very moment, the topmost layer, the ninth layer, had lit up with a dazzling, extremely bright purple brilliance!

Then, an old relic exclaimed, "The ninth layer! The ninth layer! The purple light of the ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower has actually lit up! I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would see this ninth layer illuminated!"

"Alas," sighed one of the elders, "it’s just a pity that the genius who has lit up the ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower is not one of our Lann Family, he does not bear the Lann name!"

"What does it matter if he isn’t a Lann! This young genius was selected during the Lann Yuan martial contest for marriage and is now the Prince Consort of our Tianlan Empire, how is he any different from our Lann people!" another elder retorted.

"Such a genius! With him, it’s possible that the days of our Lann Family’s flourishing are close at hand! Once he comes out and deals with the sealed Evil Demon, we will surely have a significant boost!"

"He must not remain! He cannot be allowed to stay! This man must absolutely be eliminated! He! He must die!" The elder who had previously clashed with Lann Yuan watched the ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower with a gaze filled with malice, silently swearing in his heart that Shi Feng must be assassinated!

"Sigh," looking at the ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower, even Lann Yuan, who others thought would be the most excited at this moment, let out a soft sigh: "So this young man is truly defying the heavens! No wonder he doesn’t fancy the Prince Consort of our Tianlan Empire, my Linglong.... It’s just... my daughter is the one who suffers."

Just yesterday, the Lann Family had seen their daughter Linglong in the Imperial Palace, only to notice her complexion growing increasingly haggard, a result of her deep longing.

"With such a genius, if he could marry Linglong and become my son-in-law, the Prince Consort of our Tianlan Empire, and expand our borders for me, that would be... so wonderful!"

...

The ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower!

Beneath a massive, purple mountain that seemed to reach infinite heights, two beams of purple light flashed, and Shi Feng arrived with Di Sha.

Upon entering the ninth layer, a vast and familiar Mysterious Force immediately surged crazily towards Shi Feng.

Sensing the movement in the surrounding space and that Mysterious Force, Shi Feng quickly activated the Nine Nether Technique to absorb it. Soon after swallowing the immense Mysterious Force, a white glow flickered around Shi Feng’s body.

"He’s advanced! He’s advanced again! How long has it been, he’s actually stepped from the Six-star Martial Saint Realm into the Seven-star Martial Saint Realm! This... this is too fast, isn’t it? Advancing in martial arts, for him, seems as easy as having a few meals! Is this... still a being from the Tianheng Continent?"

Di Sha, standing beside Shi Feng, was yet again filled with surprise and astonishment, muttering at him advancing so swiftly. If he continued at this pace, wouldn’t he be unstoppable?

With such speed, it seemed that stepping into the Martial Emperor Realm in the future would be nothing but a trivial matter for him.

Di Sha recalled his own past, how he was once just a weak Little Yin Corpse, and how after enduring numerous hardships and the passage of countless years, he finally became the Corpse Emperor.

Comparing himself to Shi Feng, and thinking back on his own difficult past, Di Sha’s heart was filled with a bitter sweetness.

Now that he had absorbed the incredibly immense Mysterious Force and stepped into the Seven-star Martial Saint Realm, Shi Feng slowly opened his eyes, and with a surge of ferocity, he threw a punch forward with full force!

"Boom!" The punch exploded, and Shi Feng shook his head disappointingly. Ever since reaching the Martial Saint Realm in physical strength by slaying the Evil Dragon with the Silver Sickle on the seventh layer, and absorbing the mysterious energy of the Martial Arts Sky Tower, his physical strength had been increasing very slowly.

After previously absorbing the Mysterious Force on the eighth layer and now again, on this ninth layer, overcoming the challenge, his physical strength had only reached the Two-star Martial Saint Realm!

It seems that the Martial Arts Sky Tower really does train one’s martial arts after all!
