Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1513 - 1498: The Fall of a Nation

After a moment, Shi Feng’s face showed a resolute expression, and he spoke again to the old man in the purple robe, saying: "Help me once! As long as you’re willing to help me return to the Wilderness World to save my friends, I’m willing to pay any price! Anything!"

Ziyi and Yud Xin stood against the Sinister Three Elder Demons for his sake, and if they were killed by the Three Elder Demons, it would all be because of him.

However, after hearing Shi Feng’s words, the old man in the purple robe shook his head at him. Then, followed by a movement of his right hand, he waved his purple sleeve.

In an instant, Shi Feng felt as though the world around him underwent a dramatic upheaval.

The void disappeared, and the ground below, full of scattered rocks, vanished as well. In the next moment, Shi Feng felt himself arrive in a purple world.

Beneath him was a gigantic purple mountain, and in the sky was a round purple moon, emitting a purple halo.

Recognizing this familiar scene, Shi Feng immediately realized he was back on the ninth floor of the Martial Arts Sky Tower! Once again, he stood on the summit of this giant purple mountain.

Raising his head, his eyes focused on the purple full moon in the void, where the old man in the purple robe was sitting cross-legged at the center.

Apparently, this world of the purple full moon was the tenth floor of the Martial Arts Sky Tower, and a path leading to the Wilderness Continent.

Shi Feng still remembered when he stood here the last time, the old man said:

"If one day you can defeat me in battle, I will take you to a broader world!"

"The Martial Arts Sky Tower has an end, but Martial Arts itself has no end!"

Today, when Shi Feng recalled these two sentences, they held an entirely different meaning.

The broader world the old man mentioned should be the Wilderness Continent, shouldn’t it?

And indeed, both the Martial Arts Sky Tower and Martial Arts have no end.

Originally, what he sought in Martial Arts was merely above the Nine-star Martial Emperor.

"Return when you have the confidence and strength to challenge me!" At that moment, the detached and emotionless voice of the old man in the purple robe echoed through the space.

Following that, a purple light shone on Shi Feng’s body.

When the purple light fell, Shi Feng had already vanished from the summit of the gigantic purple mountain.

...

Tianheng Continent, Eastern Domain.

In a vast and dim underground world.

Several months ago, a significant event occurred in the Eastern Domain.

Bu Fan, an emperor of martial arts of the era, emerged suddenly, declaring himself Emperor Bu Fan.

From then on, Emperor Bu Fan became a figure of reverence for everyone in the Eastern Domain.

Soon after, Emperor Bu Fan ordered the entire Eastern Domain to submit to him, or else face ruin and destruction!

The super empire of the Tianlan Empire, refusing to comply with Emperor Bu Fan, thus erupted into an extremely brutal war in the Eastern Domain.

In that battle, with just a command from Emperor Bu Fan, the countries of the Eastern Domain attacked the Tianlan Empire to curry favor with him.

From all directions, countless strong soldiers fiercely surged towards the Tianlan Empire.

The Tianlan Empire retreated step by step, their army continually wiped out, cities conquered one by one, until the armies from every direction reached the imperial city of the Tianlan Empire, the Tianlan Imperial City!

On that day, when the world believed the Tianlan Empire was about to become a part of history, surprisingly, that day, with thunder and lightning, the rumor spread of a Supreme Martial Emperor emerging in the Tianlan Imperial City.

The Supreme Martial Emperor stood proudly in white robes above the Tianlan Imperial City, with no army daring to approach.

Half a day later, upon learning of a mysterious martial emperor appearing in the Tianlan Empire, Emperor Bu Fan rushed personally to the Tianlan Imperial City.

Afterwards, it was rumored that a world-shattering battle erupted in the Tianlan Imperial City.

It’s said that in that battle, apart from the two martial emperors, strong warriors inside and outside the imperial city all took action, resulting in countless casualties.

But ultimately, Emperor Bu Fan and the allied armies claimed victory, and from then on, the Tianlan Empire was entirely consigned to history.

Emperor Lann Yuan disappeared from then on.

And few people knew that after the fall of the Tianlan Empire, Emperor Lann Yuan hid in this vast and dim underground world, akin to a rat in the dark, never to see the light of day.

Not only did Lann Yuan arrive here, but after that defeat, he brought along numerous royal bloodline and loyal ministers to this hidden underground world.

Hoping that one day, they could rise again and revive the Tianlan Empire!

To allow the Tianlan Empire to once again stand on the land of the Eastern Domain.

...

At this moment, Lann Yuan was standing alone in a quiet, dark corner, compared to when he was the dignified Emperor Tianlan, now he seemed much more weathered.

For a ruler of a fallen country, nothing in this world could be more humiliating.

If they couldn’t restore the country, Lann Yuan wouldn’t know how to face his ancestors underground.

"Ah!" Lann Yuan slowly raised his head, gazing at the dim underground world with a long sigh.

Once, he possessed the world, high upon the Golden Throne Hall, but now, hiding in such a dark small world.

Going out, who knows how many people would want Lann Yuan’s head.

"Linglong!" Gradually, Lann Yuan called out his daughter’s name, his expression deepening with melancholy, seeming to age several years in an instant.

...

In another area of the underground world, four elderly figures in golden dragon robes floated in mid-air. These four were the four ancient relics of the Tianlan Empire.

The Tianlan Empire originally had ten powerful ancient relics, but one was killed by Shi Feng, leaving nine.

In the battle in the Tianlan Imperial Capital several months ago, five more ancient relics died, leaving only these four now.

At this moment, all attention from these four ancient relics was focused downward on the purple tower standing on the ground, the Martial Arts Sky Tower!

Now, the Martial Arts Sky Tower had also become a hope for the Tianlan Empire’s restoration. Since fleeing here, the Lann Family had started to open this Martial Arts Sky Tower to outsiders.

What they needed now was strength. Those loyal ministers to the Lann Family, and their descendants, all had the privilege to enter this legendary Martial Arts Sky Tower and train.

At this moment, it was the son of the former General Hu Po of the Tianlan Empire who was training inside.

Fang Hua, the son of General Hu Po, was considered a genius in the Tianlan Empire, somewhat renowned.

After Fang Hua entered the Martial Arts Sky Tower, in the distance, people watched the Martial Arts Sky Tower to see how far Fang Hua could climb.

"Son, you must hold on; you must bring pride to your old man!" A man with a face full of beard, tiger eyes glaring tightly at the Martial Arts Sky Tower, clenched his fists, and muttered silently.

Everyone from the Tianlan Empire naturally knew what each additional floor conquered in the Martial Arts Sky Tower would mean.

At this moment, the purple light of the second floor of the Martial Arts Sky Tower had already lit up, proving that General Hu Po’s son had stepped into the second floor.
