Chapter 648: Chapter 638: Martial Arts Have No End!

Martial Arts Sky Tower Ultimate Layer, Ninth Level, Summit of Purple Mountain!

As soon as Shi Feng began to speak, he asked Di Sha to look towards the round moon in the sky, Di Sha subconsciously raised his head, his eyes focusing on the purple moon hanging aloft.

When Shi Feng stood upright, he saw Di Sha gazing upward, yet Di Sha seemed unfazed by the purple moon above.

Then, Di Sha lowered his head, looking puzzledly at Shi Feng and asked, "Master, what is with that Purple Moon?"

At that moment, Shi Feng came to a realization, recalling that this was a Yin Corpse, a unique existence on the Tianheng Continent, surviving in an unusually mysterious manner without a soul!

With no soul, there were no soul attacks either!

Shi Feng spoke up, questioning Di Sha, "Did you not discover anything from that Purple Moon?" Earlier, Shi Feng had noticed the strangeness of that moon and realized that the challenge of the ninth level of Martial Arts Sky Tower must lie within that purple moon in the sky.

Yet, with Shi Feng’s current level of Soul Power, he couldn’t inspect the Purple Moon himself, as his soul had taken a heavy blow during his earlier attempt. Now, Shi Feng pinned his hopes on Di Sha, who had no soul and was naturally immune to soul attacks.

"Nothing!" Di Sha still looked baffled as he spoke.

"Take another careful look!" Shi Feng said.

"Oh!" Di Sha responded, although he didn’t understand Shi Feng’s intentions, he didn’t dare to defy his command and once again raised his head, his gaze continuing to fixate on the purple moon above.

Shi Feng watched Di Sha, waiting for him to notice something.

Then, Shi Feng heard Di Sha suddenly exclaim, "There’s someone, on that Purple Moon, there’s an old man!"

"Old man?" Hearing Di Sha’s words, Shi Feng’s brow furrowed, and then, extending his right hand, he placed it on Di Sha’s forehead. With a thought, he manipulated Di Sha, reflecting the scene Di Sha had just seen into his own mind.

Instantly, an image surfaced in Shi Feng’s mind, a curved moon in the void, and at the center of the moon, an elder with purple hair and beard, dressed in a purple robe, sitting cross-legged.

At that moment, as Shi Feng’s soul focused on the purple figure in his mind, the old man in his mind suddenly opened his eyes!

It was merely an image transmitted from what Di Sha had seen, yet it moved! Then those opened eyes looked directly at him.

The purple-robed elder had an indifferent expression and then spoke, followed by a tone of detachment, as if void of any emotion, the voice echoed in Shi Feng’s mind, "Go back, your opponent at this level is me, and you! You are no match for me! No one who has entered the Martial Arts Sky Tower is my match!"

Shi Feng heard this voice, identical to the one he had heard in his mind when he had passed through the seventh and eighth layers. "So it’s him!"

"You are the Artifact Spirit of this Martial Arts Sky Tower!" Shi Feng communicated with his soul to the purple-robed elder.

The purple-robed elder continued with an indifferent face, then said, "The Martial Arts Sky Tower is me, I am the Martial Arts Sky Tower, as long as one enters, I am the ruler here! No one can defy me!"

Shi Feng had not expected that the challenge on the ninth layer would turn out to be the Artifact Spirit of the Martial Arts Sky Tower! This was indeed outrageous!

As the Artifact Spirit had stated, here, it was the ruler, the "heaven" of this place, unless one possessed power beyond the Martial Arts Sky Tower itself, breaking through this ninth layer was merely wishful thinking.

At this moment, Shi Feng clearly lacked such power! Not only Shi Feng, even Di Sha did not possess it, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been suppressed by the power of the Martial Arts Sky Tower at the base of the mountain, unable to break through space and fly, but instead, had to run up along the purple mountain walls.

Even though Shi Feng was reluctant in his heart, he had to face this reality! The path of Martial Arts did not always go smoothly, but reaching the ninth layer was already quite an accomplishment.

"Artifact Spirit, there will come a day when I’ll return, and at that time, I will surely defeat you!" Shi Feng stared at the image of the purple-robed old man in his mind, speaking with determination.

Although it was said that one could only enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower once in a lifetime, if one had power beyond it, any limitations, any number of attempts were nonsense!

From the image of the Artifact Spirit in his mind, Shi Feng could already feel that to defeat it, to possess power beyond it, he must return to his past life’s peak battle power!

"If one day, you can defeat me, I will take you to an even broader world!" the purple-robed old man spoke once more.

"An even broader world? What does that mean? Could it be that the Martial Arts Sky Tower has more than just this ninth layer?" Hearing the words of the purple-robed old man, Shi Feng felt puzzled and asked.

"The Martial Arts Sky Tower has an end, but Martial Arts has no end!" The old Artifact Spirit left these two phrases in Shi Feng’s mind, and then, the purple figure gradually faded in Shi Feng’s mind, and the indifferent voice also gradually dissipated.

"The Martial Arts Sky Tower has an end, but Martial Arts has no end?" Shi Feng muttered to himself, frowning slightly, then also withdrew from the image in his mind, and his right hand, which had been on Di Sha’s head, gradually loosened.

Shi Feng’s eyes that were half-closed then slowly opened, and looking at Di Sha in front of him, who was frowning and looking back at Shi Feng, Shi Feng said to him, "Let’s go!"

Since they could not break through the ninth layer now, there was no need to stay any longer!

"Go?" Di Sha said, his gaze turning toward the cliff they had come up from.

However, immediately afterward, Shi Feng extended his left hand toward Di Sha, and a flash of blood-colored light flickered on Shi Feng’s left hand and on Di Sha, pulling Di Sha back into the space of the Blood-colored Stone Stele.

"Let me leave!" Shi Feng said, his voice echoing in this world.

Following Shi Feng’s shout, a burst of purple light suddenly shone on his body, and Shi Feng’s figure disappeared at the summit of the Purple Mountain!

..

In the Underground Palace outside the Martial Arts Sky Tower, while the twelve strong men of the Lann Family were still staring at the Martial Arts Sky Tower, they suddenly saw a purple light flash at the entrance of the tower, followed by a blood-colored figure appearing in their eyes!

That lad, that peerless genius who had entered the ninth layer of the Martial Arts Sky Tower, that ultimate Evil Demon, had come back!

Just at that moment, all eyes converged on the blood-colored figure, as if beholding the return of a monster!

They all knew that if this young man continued to grow in the future, his achievements, of all those present, no one could compare!
