Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 269: The Approaching Thunderous Roar

Twenty times the gravity had little impact on Shi Feng; during his time in the Yunlai Empire, Long Chen had created a Gravity Stone Cave for him. At that time, Shi Feng’s Dantian was shattered but his Power of Physical Body was just as it is now, having reached the Martial Master Realm. He had stayed in a fifty-five times gravity room for three sticks of incense’s time.

Moreover, his Dantian was still intact and even fused with the Sacred Flame, naturally granting him Martial Arts Power stronger than that of an average martial master.

Twenty times gravity had little impact on the Bai Family Martial Artists of the Martial Master Realm either, but they knew that the journey ahead would only get tougher. If the gravity, which had currently changed from ten to twenty times, continued to increase, they didn’t know to what extent it could go. If it reached thirty or forty times, then it would become quite strenuous, especially since there were mysterious, invisible creatures lurking around.

The faces of each one of them displayed seriousness and worry. They cursed the heavens and earth for suppressing their Martial Arts Power, making their situation unduly arduous as the negative emotions invisibly spread.

"Let’s go!" Bai Yunshuang softly said. Upon hearing Bai Yunshuang’s voice, the Bai Family Martial Artists immediately perked up and continued forward, their gaze subconsciously drifting toward the dark figure leading ahead. For some reason, they felt much calmer and safer at the sight of that figure.

"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!" Suddenly, a chaotic and scurrying noise came from up ahead. From the chaos that sounded like a group of mice running, the faces of the Bai Family Martial Artists turned extremely horrified. The number, sensed even by the Alchemy Masters, was unimaginably terrifying.

Soon, the chaotic noise rapidly approached the Bai Family Martial Artists. Thinking of that noise, they could almost visualize in their minds thousands, a dense swarm of mice, sweeping toward them like a surging tide.

"Burn!" Shi Feng gave a low shout, and immediately, a Blood-colored Flame ignited all over his body. However, the Blood-colored Blaze only swept in front of him and did not spread elsewhere. At this moment, Shi Feng no longer cared how the Bai Family Martial Artists would fare; he focused on his own defense. Otherwise, if the Blood-colored Flame spread widely to block those surging invisible creatures, the energy he would expend would be enormous. Moreover, if his current energy continued to diminish to the level of the Martial Master Realm, what little energy he could offer might not even save him from perishing here.

"Everyone, line up in a line behind Brother Shi and fend off the attack!" Bai Yunshuang shouted loudly, ordering the young martial artists of the Bai Family. Standing clustered together, the people in the middle couldn’t effectively carry out their attacks.

Under Bai Yunshuang’s command, about twenty Bai Family Martial Artists quickly formed a long line, their weapons now glowing with a dazzling light.

Under the burning Blood-colored Blaze, sorrowful screams came from in front of Shi Feng, but behind him, the martial artists, albeit aligned in a long queue, were shouting in panic and wailing. They picked up their weapons to resist, but they could not see the threat, only predictably swinging their weapons at the air, creating sword shadows, sword shadows, Ice, and Fiery Flames all intertwining. Although some of their attacks hit the invisible entities and elicited screams from them, there still were dense crowds of unseen creatures surging toward the martial artists.

Some martial artists burst into Fiery Flames; others were coated in Ice, but their power was nothing compared to the Sacred Flame. Under the fierce assault of the invisible creatures, the flames were quickly scattered. Afterward, the martial artists let out screams and wails, their faces filled with pain and reluctance as their bodies soon disappeared from the sight of their comrades behind them, as if they had completely evaporated from the world.

"Retreat! Pull back for now!" Bai Yunshuang commanded, wielding a white long spear, thrusting rapidly forward, projecting numerous white spear shadows. Howls resounded ahead, and Bai Yunshuang stood beside Shi Feng. With their bodies close, the Blood-colored Flame blocked most of the mysterious creatures’ attacks against him, reducing his pressure compared to the other Bai Family Martial Artists. However, the screams of his fellow warriors behind him drove Bai Yunshuang to issue a retreat command.

At this moment, Princess Zi Yun also held a purple long sword, moved past Bai Yunshuang and Shi Feng, and stood on Shi Feng’s other side. Her long sword released bursts of purple Sword Qi and spread purple sword shadows. Like Bai Yunshuang, the Blood-colored Flame shielded her from most of the creature’s attacks.

Under Bai Yunshuang’s shout, the Bai Family Martial Artists began to employ their movement techniques. They fought while rapidly retreating. These movement techniques derived from the Bai Family’s archives and, given the same Realm, their speed barely differed. The formation stayed orderly, instantly forming a straight line of white figures that seemed to shoot rapidly backward. Bai Yunshuang had also just entered this group of warriors.

At this moment, only Shi Feng and Princess Zi Yun remained on the battlefield. Princess Zi Yun stood behind Shi Feng, who had transformed into a Blood-colored Fire Man, back-to-back with him, continuing to launch purple Sword Qi into the air. Her purple sword shadows filled the space in front, the left, and the right, both defending her body and enabling attacks. The strenuous and resolute expression on Princess Zi Yun’s stunningly cold face, and her clenched teeth, revealed that she was not having an easy time.

Amid the Blood-colored Flames, Shi Feng’s expression turned even graver, sensing that the mysterious creatures, after rushing toward the rear, had not circled back to attack. It was the same situation when the Bai Family warriors were behind him earlier; these mysterious, invisible creatures behaved more like they were just passing through, or rather, looked more like they were fleeing.

It seemed likely that these mysterious creatures, from in front of him, had encountered a much more powerful force—an entity so formidable that even their vast numbers couldn’t withstand.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth, causing the ground itself to tremble violently underfoot. A powerful aura and immense pressure instantly enveloped the world.

Then, Shi Feng saw large blood-colored trees in the distance begin to topple, spreading a cloud of blood-colored dust throughout the forest ahead as "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" resonant thuds echoed rhythmically through the mountains, approaching Shi Feng with each sound. With each noise, the mountains shook, resembling the sound of a giant walking through the mountains.
