The Strange Nine Nether World

Meanwhile.

Once Prince Shaomiao and the others noticed that the giant skeleton had gradually been lured away, they immediately grew excited.

Then, they cautiously and swiftly approached the Nine Nether Cavern...

Before long, Prince Shaomiao and the others saw a massive, pitch-black sinkhole in the distance.

"Is that the Nine Nether Cavern?" Chi Yuntian exclaimed.

Prince Shaomiao immediately replied, "It should be. Hurry over. Don't wait for that giant skeleton to come back."

"Alright."

Everyone agreed.

They stopped concealing themselves and began sprinting at full speed toward the dark sinkhole...

Meanwhile.

The giant skeleton suddenly sensed a large number of unfamiliar auras and immediately realized what was happening. Roaring furiously, it rushed madly back toward the Nine Nether Cavern...

"This is bad! That giant skeleton has discovered us..."

"Hurry! Charge!"

Prince Shaomiao shouted anxiously.

Hearing this, everyone used every ounce of strength they had and charged madly toward the Nine Nether Cavern.

When Su Fang saw this scene, he could no longer afford to hide himself. He immediately unleashed his full strength and charged madly toward the Nine Nether Cavern.

However, Su Fang's true strength was what it was. No matter how desperately he charged, he still lagged behind the others.

"Rumble!" "Rumble!" "Rumble!"

The giant skeleton's thunderous footsteps drew closer and closer.

The ground began shaking violently up and down, while a terrifying pressure descended without end!

"Damn it! Faster, run faster..."

Su Fang gritted his teeth and roared!

At that moment, he wished he could grow a few more legs. That way, he could run a little faster.

"Rumble!"

The giant skeleton finally returned to the vicinity of the Nine Nether Cavern.

Prince Shaomiao's group had already leaped into the dark sinkhole ahead of him.

Only Su Fang remained outside, still running with all his strength...

Naturally, the giant skeleton spotted Su Fang. It directly reached out with one massive hand and fiercely grabbed at him.

"Damn it!"

Su Fang shouted desperately.

Watching the enormous palm close in above his head, he was suddenly overwhelmed by despair.

Yet at that moment, a pleasant system notification rang out beside Su Fang's ear.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host is facing a life-or-death threat. Would you like to forcibly activate your potential?"

"After your potential is activated, the host will unleash dozens of times his current strength! However, afterward, his realm will fall by one major stage!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Activate it!"

Su Fang immediately roared.

He had no mind to listen to the consequences that followed.

What a joke.

If he lost his life, what consequences would there be left to care about?

Following Su Fang's choice.

His speed instantly erupted dozens of times over. In nearly the blink of an eye, he had rushed above the Nine Nether Cavern.

Then he leaped down.

As he fell, Su Fang seemed to glimpse another familiar figure descending through the sinkhole...

It was none other than the Mad Old Man.

Darkness swept over him.

Su Fang continued falling into the sinkhole, and all light around him gradually vanished.

Very soon, it became so dark that he could not see his hand before his face.

And so, Su Fang continued falling through the darkness...

He had no idea how much time passed.

When he regained consciousness, he was already lying atop a huge black tree branch.

"Hiss..."

Su Fang moved his body slightly and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain.

His body was covered in injuries, with dozens of bones broken. Worse still, his dantian Qi Sea was in complete chaos, and vast amounts of true qi were continuously leaking away.

This made Su Fang somewhat panic.

"This... what is happening?"

He then recalled the side effect the system had mentioned when he forcibly activated his potential.

"Dropping by one major realm?" Su Fang muttered.

His face immediately fell into a worried frown.

He had finally cultivated to the Fourth-Stage Martial Master, yet now he had to fall back to the Third-Stage Martial General.

It left him extremely depressed.

Fortunately, he had kept his life.

Thinking of that, Su Fang felt somewhat relieved.

Then, after his true qi had dispersed and his realm had fallen back to the Third-Stage Martial General, he began circulating the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art to heal his injuries.

That was right. As the most supreme body-tempering cultivation art, the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art naturally possessed the ability to heal injuries.

As the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art circulated, Su Fang's body gradually began to emit a faint golden radiance, and the horrifying injuries all over his body started healing at a rapid pace.

Only while healing himself did Su Fang finally have time to examine his surroundings.

All around him lay a dim, gray forest. Most of the vegetation was grayish-black in color, making the place look exceedingly strange.

Above Su Fang's head, two full moons actually hung in the sky at the same time. One was a dark crimson blood moon, while the other was an ash-white moon.

"Strange. Truly strange."

"Shouldn't this be beneath the Nine Nether Cavern?"

"Why is there a night sky here? Why are there even full moons?"

Su Fang could not make heads or tails of it.

Moreover, he had completely lost all trace of Prince Shaomiao and the others.

He could not obtain any important information from the [Nine Nether Map] in their possession.

He could only explore everything on his own.

Just as Su Fang was thinking...

Suddenly, rustling sounds began drifting out from the depths of the Dark Forest.

Su Fang immediately became alert.

He took out the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] and directly set up a [Divine Concealment Formation], concealing himself atop the tree branch.

As Su Fang's figure vanished, the thing making sounds deeper in the forest finally revealed itself.

It was a huge, dark-black lizard.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The enormous lizard continuously flicked out its tongue, sensing the surrounding environment.

Yet after investigating the area, it found nothing at all.

This immediately left it somewhat confused.

After hesitating for quite a while, it finally turned around and left.

Only after seeing the giant lizard depart did Su Fang, hiding within the [Divine Concealment Formation], finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Judging from its appearance alone, Su Fang could not assess the giant lizard's strength.

But no matter how weak it was, could it possibly be below a third-stage monster?

Given Su Fang's current condition, it was best not to clash with it.

For one thing, Su Fang's injuries had yet to fully recover.

For another, making a huge commotion in such an unfamiliar environment would be extremely unwise.

If he happened to draw an even more powerful monster, that would be disastrous.

So it was best to hide whenever he could.

Once he truly understood this place, it would not be too late to make a decision.

Thus, Su Fang began quietly recovering from his injuries within the [Divine Concealment Formation].

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the Dark Forest, a fierce battle was taking place...

Chi Yuntian, who had been separated from Prince Shaomiao and the others, was fighting a gigantic Black-Helmed Scythe Mantis.

Moreover, he had fallen into a perilous situation, beset by danger on every side.

The Black-Helmed Scythe Mantis did not appear particularly imposing, nor did it possess any means of projecting true qi. It fought solely with its physical strength.

Yet its strength and speed were utterly terrifying!

The "Nine Tribulations Soul-Annihilating Thunderfire" that Chi Yuntian unleashed with all his strength had no effect whatsoever when it struck the Black-Helmed Scythe Mantis.

It was as though the creature was immune to Chi Yuntian's true qi.

This made it impossible for the battle to continue at all.

After tangling with it for a while, Chi Yuntian began fighting as he retreated, preparing to slip away when the opportunity arose...

And scenes like this continued playing out throughout the vast Dark Forest...
