Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

The battle thus drew to a close.

Jian Ming was defeated by Shi Feng, and the young geniuses of the Jian Family present, the brothers Jian Lai and Jian Ye, had already suffered defeat at the hands of Shi Feng. How could they step onto the battle platform and be humiliated by this Evil Demon in front of everyone?

Another Jian Family genius, Jian Yin's eldest son Jian Zheng, belonged to the True God Realm in the Martial Arts Realm.

However, Jian Zheng knew that his battle power was merely comparable to Jian Lai, Jian Ming, and Jian Ji.

A few days ago, he witnessed Jian Feng single-handedly defeat Jian Lai, Jian Ji, and Jian Ye. Knowing the terror of Shi Feng, how could he step onto this battle platform?

The young geniuses of the Jian Family were already afraid to ascend, and as people expected, the elders, for the sake of face, were even less willing to step onto the battle platform under so many watchful eyes.

The battle ended completely, and amid rounds of discussion, figures on the stands began to leave.

At this moment, Shi Feng slowly lowered his head, his eyes gazing at the crowd that was beginning to disperse.

"Jian Feng, let's go." At this time, a woman's voice came from beside Shi Feng. Jian Ran had arrived at the battle platform.

"Hmm, let's go." Shi Feng nodded slightly and followed Jian Ran as they also began to leave the great hall.

As they walked out, Shi Feng asked Jian Ran, "In the recent battle among your Jian Family's geniuses, did you not participate?"

"Actually, I did participate before coming to find you." Jian Ran replied, then continued, "I was defeated by Jian Yinn's sword."

"His Martial Arts Realm is one star higher than yours, and you've just recently stepped into the Eight-star Demigod Realm. Losing to him is normal," Shi Feng said.

"Mm, I know!" Jian Ran nodded upon hearing Shi Feng's words, then said:

"Being defeated by Jian Yinn was within my expectations. However, the goal I set for myself was achieved.

Originally, the two Eight-star Demigod Realm geniuses selected by our Jian Family to participate in that Martial Arts battle were both defeated by me."

"You're still young, with remarkable talent and an extraordinary status. The cultivation techniques and combat techniques of your Jian Family are top-notch. Your future is limitless," Shi Feng said.

Just as Shi Feng finished speaking, Jian Ran smiled charmingly and said to Shi Feng, "I think the same way."

Jian Ran's smile was beautiful, and numerous Jian Family youths stopped to watch. Some even found themselves entranced.

This Second Young Lady of the Jian Family, although beautiful in appearance, usually bore a cold expression. It was rare to see her smile.

And at this moment, she smiled so beautifully.

Once upon a time, Jian Ran harbored deep hatred for Shi Feng, wishing this ruthless individual would die. Now, she unexpectedly showed him such a sweet smile.

The former hatred seemed to have vanished.

Soon after, Shi Feng and Jian Ran left the golden great hall and walked along a boulevard paved with cobblestones.

"Jian Feng, do you plan to return and rest, or would you like to explore the Jian Family with me?" Jian Ran asked.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feng raised his head and looked at the sky. It was now noon.

Then, Shi Feng replied to Jian Ran, "Indeed, I'm bored, so strolling around wouldn't hurt."

"Mm! You've been in the Jian Family for so many days, and I haven't taken you on a proper tour. Today, we have time, it's perfect!"

...

In the mysterious Dark Land of the Jian Family, a fierce black flame in the shape of a sword ignited once again on the ancient altar.

"Ah! Ah ah! Ah ah ah ah ah!" A series of painful and shrill screams continually emanated from within the Black Flame of the Sword.

"You useless thing! This level of fierce flame makes you scream? Truly useless!" A cold, sharp shout echoed once more in the Dark Land.

A red figure hovered above the black flames.

Then Jian Tong spoke again: "With the power you currently possess, it's simply impossible for you to stand against that person, let alone deal with those people of the Jian Family in the future!

Get stronger! Get stronger! You useless thing, keep getting stronger for me!"

When Jian Tong uttered the last word, the beautifully demonic face displayed a fierce expression.

Immediately, the fiercely burning black flames grew even wilder, and the screams became even more agonizing.

At this moment, Jian Tong held one mysterious black item after another, some shaped like black gemstones, some like herbs, a black mysterious dagger, a black long sword, a black frog-shaped creature, and a thin black snake, along with some indescribable black objects...

Each black object emitted an eerie and sinister aura.

At this moment, the ferocious expression disappeared from Jian Tong's face. Looking down at the items in his hands and then at the flames below, Jian Tong seemed a bit hesitant.

However, he soon tossed all of these black objects down, throwing them into the fiercely burning sword-shaped black flames.

"Ah ah! Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Boom!" At that moment, an extremely violent sound of thunder suddenly rang in the dark sky.

Next, a hideously dark thunderbolt descended from the sky, instantly engulfing Jian Tong's figure, consuming the fiercely burning black flames in a flash, and struck the immense ancient altar.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

...

Under Jian Ran's guidance, the two walked through the Jian Family.

Ignoring the various strange and complex glances from those they passed, Shi Feng paid no attention to the passersby from the Jian Family.

At this moment, Jian Ran led Shi Feng into a gorge named Heavenly Cloud Gorge. Here, mist loomed, and the Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi was exceptionally abundant, making it an absolute Sacred Land for cultivation.

The gorge had innumerable caves carved into it. According to Jian Ran, countless members of the Jian Family cultivated here, and even she herself had a cultivation cave here.

"Ah! Ah ah! Ah! Roar!" Suddenly, Shi Feng heard several raging roars resounding in the gorge.

"What is that sound?" Shi Feng frowned, asking Jian Ran, then added, "Human voice?"

The sound was rough and fierce earlier, already far from a human's voice, yet Shi Feng recognized it.

Hearing the sound and Shi Feng's words, Jian Ran opened her mouth disdainfully and said, "It's that useless one!

Looks like that waste has started sulking and going mad again."

"Useless one?" Shi Feng said.

Then Jian Ran continued:

"It's my uncle's son. When he was young, his talent was decent, but then something suddenly happened, and the Primordial Energy in his Dantian started to reverse flow, constantly draining from his body.

Since then, any Primordial Energy he absorbed into his body would quickly deplete, rendering him a Martial Arts failure, ultimately abandoned by my uncle and our Jian Family."
