Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1687 - 1672: Shii Fan, Just Go Through the Motions When the Time Comes
The Ancient Corpse Clan floated and descended, and soon, they arrived halfway up Giant Sword Mountain.
Here, on the rock wall of Giant Sword Mountain, there was a sword mark that looked as if it had been slashed by a long sword, extending from the left to the right edge, bottomless.
At this moment, Shi Feng's eyes were already fixed on this sword mark.
And the Corpse God of the Ancient Corpse Clan, with his hands towards the sword mark in front, formed an ancient and eerie handprint. Following that, the Corpse God burst into an angry shout to the front: "Hah!"
Immediately, this space shook violently, and that sword mark in front suddenly exploded with a brilliant, massive sword light, instantly engulfing all the "people" of the Ancient Corpse Clan, including Shi Feng. π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
Then, the sword light, carrying the group of the Ancient Corpse Clan, rolled back in an instant, returning to that sword mark, and then disappeared.
It was as if the group of "corpses" from the Ancient Corpse Clan had never appeared halfway up the mountain.
Shi Feng only felt the sword light flash before his eyes, but he clearly sensed that this sword light carried no intent to kill or danger, and let it devour him.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Feng felt the world in front of him change, arriving in a bright and vast world. At this moment, the group of "people" from the Ancient Corpse Clan were suspended in the void of this world.
Below them was a huge, extremely broad ring, exuding an ancient aura.
It seemed this ring had existed for a long time; this Imprisonment World was indeed full of "antiques"!
And this arena, made of some unknown material, appeared extremely hard, shining with a dark luster.
Even Shi Feng could sense that even if he exerted all his strength to punch, he wouldn't be able to damage this arena made of mysterious material.
But since this arena has been long-standing, it's normal for it to be hard; otherwise, it might have long been smashed to pieces by the former geniuses of various clans.
Surrounding the massive arena were grandstands that rose from low to high. At this moment, several waves of living beings were already seated on the lower stands, each discussing among themselves.
When the Ancient Corpse Clan arrived, a series of gazes instantly gathered on the arriving Ancient Corpse Clan, saying, "The Ancient Corpse Clan is here too!"
"I've heard the Ancient Corpse Clan originally planned for Shii Wang, a Seven-star Demigod, to participate in this Genius Battle, but for some reason, they suddenly replaced him with a Six-star Demigod named Shii Fan."
"Shii Fan? Who is this Shii Fan? Does the Ancient Corpse Clan have such a person? Why have I never heard of him before?"
"Could it be that this Shii Fan has battle power surpassing Shii Wang's at the Six-star Demigod level?"
"How is that possible! In my opinion, something happened to Shii Wang, and he couldn't participate."
"Based on my analysis, five years ago, the Ancient Corpse Clan lost a genius named Shii Heng, perhaps Shii Wang was scared and didn't dare to participate. So, the Ancient Corpse Clan switched to this Shii Fan."
"Whether it's Shii Fan or Shii Wang, in this year's Genius Battle, the Ancient Corpse Clan is just here for the fun!
I suppose their Ancient Corpse Clan will only be able to defeat the pathetic geniuses of the Human Clan."
"Haha, those pathetic beings of the Human Clan can be called geniuses? Ha, they deserve it? Hahaha."
...
To the discussions below, Shi Feng and most of the Ancient Corpse Clan seemed to not hear them.
Only a few, like Miss Shii Wu, shook their heads and sighed lightly.
At this time, the Corpse God was already leading the people of the Ancient Corpse Clan to fly down to an unoccupied stand below, quickly settling into the stand.
This area of the stand had belonged to the Ancient Corpse Clan since ancient times, with the Corpse God sitting high at the highest spot, embodying the demeanor of a king.
The other members of the Ancient Corpse Clan sat from high to low according to their status and rank.
Compared to those above, Shii Wu held a low status and could only sit at the lower part with a few other members of similar low status. Shi Feng sat down casually and didn't care about his status, sitting right beside Shii Wu.
At this moment, the Ancient Netherworld Clan entered this realm as well. With the arrival of the Ancient Netherworld Clan, various clans started discussing again.
The participant from the Ancient Netherworld Clan this year is still Gloomy Hide, rumored to have reached the Peak of Eight-star Demigod Realm, making him one of the hot contenders in this year's Genius Battle.
Though all clans know that the Blood Devouring Clan's Devouring Prison has reached Nine-star Demigod, the outcome remains uncertain, and challenges where a lower star overcomes a higher star have happened occasionally in the past.
In the history of the Genius Battle, there have been numerous instances where an Eight-star Demigod defeated a Nine-star Demigod.
Subsequently, the members of the Ancient Netherworld Clan descended, landing not far from the Ancient Corpse Clan.
The two clans began to glare coldly at each other again, but this time, no one shouted in anger, as if saving all their rage to be resolved during the Genius Battle.
"Shii Fan, make sure to do your best when the time comes!"
At this moment, a young Yin Corpse Clan member, sitting in the front, like Shi Feng and Shii Wu, spoke up.
Once the youth's words fell, others chimed in, saying, "Brother Shii Fan, just try your best! Remember, prioritize your own life then."
"Alas, this year, it seems our Ancient Corpse Clan will lose face again! When will a genius like Gloomy Hide, Devouring Prison, or Tian Hao from the Evil Eye Clan emerge from our Ancient Corpse Clan?"
At this point, some people shook their heads, sighing and lamenting.
These individuals, like Shii Wu, were former little commanders tasked with protecting the Ancient Corpse Clan's territory, thus having relatively low status.
Therefore, like Shii Wu, they only knew this "Shii Fan" was in the Six-star Demigod Realm with battle power capable of challenging above his level to defeat Shii Wang.
But although his talent surpasses theirs, it's far from enough to contend with geniuses from various clans in the Genius Battle.
They also did not know where this Shii Fan suddenly emerged from, only knowing that Lord Corpse God had decreed that a person named Shii Fan would participate in this year's Genius Battle.
They had never heard of such a person in the Ancient Corpse Clan's territory before, and at that time, many in the Ancient Corpse Clan were asking, "Who is Shii Fan?"
It seems that Shi Feng's entry into the Ancient Corpse Clan and even participating in the Genius Battle on its behalf was kept confidential by the Corpse God, with the information sealed within the clan, known only to a few key figures, while many in the Ancient Corpse Clan were unaware that Shii Fan's real name was Shi Feng.
And one cannot help but marvel at the wonder of the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique and Corpse Transformation Technique, for even with such close proximity to these people, Shi Feng hadn't been discovered in the slightest.
"Shii Fan, since our Ancient Corpse Clan won't get first place anyway this year, just treat going up the arena as playing a role and going through the motions when it's time." At this time, an Ancient Corpse Clan youth, sitting on the other side next to Miss Shii Wu, spoke to Shi Feng.
This youth was named Shii Wei. For a Yin Corpse, his pallid face was quite handsome. Shi Feng had long noticed that every time Shii Wei looked at Miss Shii Wu, there was something different in his eyes, perhaps indicating he was a suitor of Miss Shii Wu.
