Chapter 2024: 2009: Endless Land

Although Shi Feng's palm did not strike the elder's head, his current power is so immense that the gust from his hand directly killed the elder. The elder's mournful howl quickly ceased, and Elder Luan Wu's foolishness rendered all his martial arts efforts over the years futile, leaving him as a cold corpse.

In consideration of their past master-servant relationship, Shi Feng did not consume the elder's blood and soul, and the corpse drifted down.

For a moment, Shi Feng said nothing, silently staring at the corpse as if lost in thought.

Seeing Shi Feng's silence, the people of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land refrained from speaking, nor did anyone touch the fallen corpse. Instead, a few individuals slightly shifted, allowing the corpse to pass by.

Soon, Elder Luan Wu's corpse was seen falling into the bottomless abyss below.

"Are you satisfied with my execution?" At this moment, Shi Feng turned again to the Great Elder and asked.

"Thank you, Nine Nether Demon Lord, for upholding justice!" The deceased had indeed satisfied Great Elder Yi Xi.

Ahead of Shi Feng, another elder, Juyu, was still kneeling. Luan Wu was dead, and at this moment, thoughts rapidly flashed through Juyu's mind.

"Luan Wu is dead! It's good that he's dead! From now on, I'll place all the blame on him!"

"This matter was entirely due to him, Luan Wu."

...

As he secretly pondered these thoughts, Elder Juyu spoke again: "Nine Nether Demon Lord..."

"Hmph!" Just as Juyu spoke these four words, Shi Feng let out a cold snort and said, "Treacherous scoundrel, die."

Shi Feng didn't want to hear anything further from him; suddenly, an eerie, crimson blood flame ignited on Juyu's body, swiftly engulfing him entirely.

"Ah! Ah!" A series of heartrending screams echoed as the Night Watchman of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, Juyu, was incinerated by these scarlet fiery flames and turned into nothingness, completely reduced to ashes.

As the blood-colored blaze vanished, Shi Feng looked down again at the people below in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, saying, "Let's continue on our journey!"

"Alright, Nine Nether Demon Lord!" Sacred Lord Leng Yan replied.

Following that, the sixteen mighty figures from Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land continued to lead the way, with Shi Feng and the cold-faced woman in white flying again above, continuing their descent into the bottomless abyss.

"Do you really have that secret formation?" The woman in white spoke at this moment, questioning Shi Feng.

"What do you think?" Shi Feng did not directly answer her but asked in return.

"I think you were just bluffing to scare those two, but unexpectedly, they fell for your trick." The woman in white said.

"Heh." Hearing her words, Shi Feng chuckled faintly.

"Do you think I'm right or wrong?" The woman in white asked again, but Shi Feng only smiled coldly without responding.

...

Eighteen figures continued to drift downwards, and this bottomless abyss seemed truly endless. After such a long descent, Shi Feng and the others still hadn't reached the end.

However, it was increasingly evident that this area now felt increasingly eerie.

At this moment, the sixteen figures below abruptly halted, suspended in the void beneath them.

"Hmm?" As the sixteen of them stopped descending, the cold face of the woman in white momentarily changed, murmuring to herself, "Is it here!"

Soon, Shi Feng and the woman in white arrived at the location of the sixteen figures, and Shi Feng slightly furrowed his brows, asking them, "Why did you stop going further?"

"Nine Nether Demon Lord, we have arrived!" Sacred Lord Leng Yan pointed at the rock wall ahead.

"Arrived?" Shi Feng's brows furrowed deeper as he looked in the direction Leng Yan pointed. The rock wall appeared quite ordinary, but Shi Feng saw upon it a crack about the length of a person, yet extremely minute.

Without careful inspection, this crack would be hard to detect.

"Is this the passage to the Divine Battle Continent?" Shi Feng asked with some surprise.

Soul Power was released, sensing briefly, but no spatial fluctuations were sensed from this crack.

"Indeed, Nine Nether Demon Lord!" Leng Yan replied earnestly.

"This is the passage to our Inner Wilderness." At this moment, the woman in white beside Shi Feng transmitted her voice to him.

Shi Feng's expression shifted once more, "The passage to Inner Wilderness!"

Shi Feng then asked Leng Yan: "Are you sure this leads to the Divine Battle Continent?"

"Yes, Nine Nether Demon Lord!" Leng Yan vowed earnestly, "In the records of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, all ancestors who entered the Divine Battle Continent did so from this point, and returned through this same route, without error! I can assure you."

"A passage to the Divine Battle Continent? Another passage to Inner Wilderness?" Shi Feng murmured softly, contemplating in his mind.

"Are there truly no other passages here?" Shi Feng queried again.

"Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land only knows of this passage found by the Sacred Ancestor years ago," Leng Yan added.

At this time, Shi Feng lowered his head, gazing downward at the endless abyss, asking, "What lies beneath this place? What's there?"

From the first glance at this abyss, Shi Feng had felt a mysterious and unique sensation.

"Below is known as Endless Land." Leng Yan replied.

"Endless Land?"

"It's said that there's simply no end beneath. Legend has it that our Heavenly Desolation Sacred Ancestor once descended rapidly to explore it, yet even with his speed, three months passed without reaching the end, and he ultimately returned!"

"Leng Aoyue couldn't see the end after three months of descending?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised again. If so, then 'Endless Land' truly lives up to its name.

"In our sacred texts at Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, many ancestors refused to believe this Endless Land truly had no end, and many tested it themselves.

During these tests, numerous ancestors never returned. And the one who returned after flying the longest traveled towards this Endless Land for ten years, yet still didn't reach the end, and subsequently took nearly ten more years to return to Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land!"

"Ten years and still no end, this truly... is limitless!" Hearing Leng Yan's words, Shi Feng increasingly sensed the mystery of Endless Land.

But now, with pressing matters at hand, he naturally wasn't interested in testing whether Endless Land truly had an end.

Shi Feng gently lifted his lowered head, his gaze resumed focusing on the crack, murmuring internally, "Could Inner Wilderness just be Divine Battle Continent?"
