Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1679 - 1664: Joining the Genius Battle for the Ancient Corpse Clan
Actually, the reason Shi Feng informed the Corpse God about Dugu Xingyun having the secret technique to leave the Imprisonment World was to collaborate with the Ancient Corpse Clan to escape it.
Previously, Shi Feng said, if your Ancient Corpse Clan fears the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell, I will leave. Actually, it was to probe the foundation of the Ancient Corpse Clan.
Later, the Corpse God indeed showed no fear of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Bell, and Shi Feng could see that the Corpse God was confident in not fearing it!
Hence, Shi Feng began to consider collaborating with him.
Now, if he wants to obtain the secret technique to leave the Imprisonment World from that Old Dugu, he must collaborate with 'them'.
And the Ancient Corpse Clan is undoubtedly a great partner.
The Ancient Corpse Clan is slightly different from other races. Ancient Corpses are Yin Corpses, the original form of Yin Corpses occurs when Human Clan members are buried after death and mutate.
Although not all Yin Corpses of the Ancient Corpse Clan might be this way, according to legends, when Yin Corpses evolve to a certain degree, they have the ability to reproduce, but their origin still cannot break free from the Human Clan.
When Shi Feng first entered the Imprisonment World, members of the Evil Eye Clan reacted with hostility upon seeing him, a Human Clan member.
But entering the Ancient Corpse Clan, Shi Feng did not sense such hostility from the Yin Corpses; they looked at him like a passerby.
This demonstrates that the Ancient Corpse Clan does not disdain the Human Clan.
At this moment, the Corpse God's pale face was heavy with seriousness, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"At such a young age, you have entered the Six-star Demigod Realm and even possess the power to contend with Nine-star Demigods. Shi Feng, your future achievements are immeasurable! With your talent, reaching the Nine-star Demigod Realm might be just a matter of time. I wonder what your combat power will be like then; truly exciting!"
The Corpse God's words seemed both directed at Shi Feng and self-reflective.
Upon hearing those words, Shi Feng sneered proudly and said, "If I reach the Nine-star Demigod, even the legendary True God Experts standing before me wouldn't faze me!"
Though he said this, he knew his own situationβhis abnormal Dantian made advancing one star very elusive now, let alone entering the mighty Nine-star Demigod Realm, like mortals ascending to heaven.
After hearing Shi Feng's comment, the Corpse God didn't speak for a while, leaving his thoughts ambiguous.
Seeing his silence, Shi Feng said nothing either, merely gazing coldly at him, still exuding an imposing aura!
After some time, the Corpse God's expression slightly shifted, and he smiled at Shi Feng, saying, "Let's set aside the previous condition for now. Let's discuss the second one: in a few days, the Battle of the Geniuses will take place, and I would like you, Shi Feng, to battle for my Ancient Corpse Clan."
"Fight for your Ancient Corpse Clan?" Hearing the Corpse God's words, Shi Feng's expression subtly shifted once more, retracting his formidable aura and asking:
"I am of the Human Clan; can I battle for the Ancient Corpse Clan?" π³ππππππππ πππ.π°π π¦
"Typically, that's not allowed," the Corpse God said, "but we have the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique in our Ancient Corpse Clan, which can make you appear identical to us Ancient Corpse Clan. They won't be able to tell.
At that time, as long as you don't use combat techniques you've displayed in front of others, there shouldn't be any issues."
Not being able to use publicly demonstrated combat techniques meant he couldn't use the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder.
In the Imprisonment World, the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder is emblematic of Shi Feng's identity. All clans know a Human Clan genius came in from the outside world after being struck by Black Tribulation Lightning.
If he doesn't use the Black Thunder, Shi Feng is not confident of victory against Nine-star Demigod level geniuses.
Without certain victory, it's better not to fight!
Sensing Shi Feng pondering after hearing what he just said, the Corpse God seemed to realize Shi Feng's concerns, and he immediately said, "Rest assured, since I'm letting you fight for my Ancient Corpse Clan and advising against using your combat techniques, I naturally have preparations!
When you perform the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique and transform into a corpse, you can use a powerful Secret Technique from my Ancient Corpse Clan, which is surely not weaker than your combat techniques!
But since you're essentially Human Clan, using this Secret Technique would result in severe backlash to your physical body, causing substantial damage! But with your physical strength, you should be able to use it at least ten times!"
It seems the Corpse God not only saw Shi Feng's Martial Arts Cultivation but also his mighty Power of Physical Body.
"Oh!" After hearing the Corpse God's words, Shi Feng responded with a light "Oh."
This Corpse God, daring to claim his Secret Technique is no weaker than Shi Feng's combat techniques must have confidence.
This Secret Technique should be an extraordinary Secret Technique from the Ancient Corpse Clan.
Originally, Shi Feng didn't pay heed to the Battle of the Geniuses, but now he vaguely sensed it wasn't ordinary, not as simple as Old Dugu made it seem.
"That Old Dugu must still be hiding something from me," Shi Feng thought to himself.
He then asked the Corpse God, "What exactly is the reward for winning the Battle of the Geniuses? You're willing to teach me your Ancient Corpse Clan's Secret Technique for it?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Shi Feng's question, the Corpse God's expression subtly shifted, showing a hint of surprise with a touch of smile, saying:
"Dugu Xingyun had you participate in the Battle of the Geniuses without telling you its rewards? Clearly, that Old Dugu indeed has ulterior motives, haha!
Kid, since you've faced attacks from various clans at the Blood Devouring Race, you probably know their Young Clan Leader Shio Yu?"
"Blood Devouring Race's Young Clan Leader? Are you talking about that youthful Nine-star Demigod from the Blood Devouring Race!" Shi Feng replied. As he said this, his mind conjured the image of a boy with blood-red hair and a bewitching appearance.
"That's correct! It's him," the Corpse God said, "Five years ago, it was Shio Yu who was the champion of the Battle of the Geniuses. At that time, Shio Yu's realm was only at the Seven-star Demigod Realm!"
"From Seven-star Demigod five years ago to Nine-star Demigod within five years!" Hearing the Corpse God's words, Shi Feng exclaimed in disbelief.
Shio Yu's cultivation pace truly makes him a generation-defying genius! Shi Feng then pondered something and asked the Corpse God, "So, Shio Yu reaching Nine-star Demigod is related to being the champion of the Battle of the Geniuses? What precisely is the reward for being first!"
By now, Shi Feng's interest in the mysterious first prize was already piqued.
"What, you've finally become interested?" Seeing Shi Feng's demeanor, the Corpse God didn't answer directly but teased Shi Feng, smiling slightly.
"Naturally interested." Shi Feng replied.
"The champion will have the opportunity to enter the Purification Divine Pool!"
"Purification Divine Pool?"
