The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1789: Chapter 1817: The Sixth Layer

Ye Feng looked at the Sky Battle Armor on his body, feeling very satisfied. Ye Feng knew that the death aura within the Nine Nether Great Tomb was highly corrosive even to Holy Artifacts. However, it had little effect on Boundary Devices.

And the Sky Battle Armor was a Boundary Device; moreover, with the addition of Ye Feng’s Power of Destruction, the death aura had no impact on the Sky Battle Armor at all. The ultimate purpose of crafting the Sky Battle Armor was not to enhance combat power.

Ye Feng had long decided to enter the Nine Nether Great Tomb, precisely to resist the death aura.

”Ah~~” At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream reached Ye Feng’s ears.

Suddenly, the ground at Ye Feng’s feet shook violently, the soil loosened and trembled crazily. In that instant, a black flower sprang from the soil—it was like a giant head, with only a mouth. The dark flower opened its big mouth, revealing countless fangs.

”Dead Spirit Flower...” Ye Feng recognized the strange flower at a glance.

The Dead Spirit Flower relies on the death energy, death aura, and the corpses of living beings, absorbing grudges to grow. The Nine Nether Great Tomb is the ideal growing environment for them, so the appearance of the Dead Spirit Flower in the tomb didn’t surprise Ye Feng at all.

The Dead Spirit Flower let out a human-like scream, roaring as it charged towards Ye Feng.

The flower was over ten meters high, and in a flash, it was in front of Ye Feng, opening its bloody mouth to devour him. Ye Feng’s expression remained unchanged, as the Dead Spirit Flower was about to swallow him.

”Swish!” Ye Feng drew his sword for a slash. The Frost Sword flew out, its Sword Qi carrying a domineering Power of Destruction. Instantly, it sliced through the Dead Spirit Flower, and then the Sword Qi struck the flower, spreading out as if refining it, directly smashing the Dead Spirit Flower.

The Dead Spirit Flower shattered into countless pieces and was then obliterated by the Power of Destruction, completely vanishing from between heaven and earth.

Ye Feng put away his Frost Sword and continued forward. The Dead Spirit Flower’s combat power was merely equivalent to a typical expert in the Dao Realm, not worth mentioning before Ye Feng. In the Nine Nether Great Tomb, the greatest threat wasn’t the Dead Spirit Flower.

”Must be close to the second layer now...” Ye Feng looked ahead, and sure enough, in less than an hour he saw a black vortex within the Nine Nether Great Tomb. From the vortex emanated waves of spatial ripples.

The vortex had a diameter of about three meters. Ye Feng knew this was the entrance to the second layer of the Nine Nether Great Tomb.

The Nine Nether Great Tomb has six layers, and Ye Feng was well aware of its structure. This knowledge was due to memories from his past life; otherwise, with his current cultivation level, Ye Feng would never have dared enter the tomb.

If Ye Feng were unfamiliar with the Nine Nether Great Tomb, he wouldn’t have come here at all.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng entered the Space Gate and proceeded to the tomb’s second layer.

Upon entering the second layer, Ye Feng found the surrounding death aura had already thinned somewhat.

And the terrain wasn’t as complex. Everyone believed that the deeper you went into the Nine Nether Great Tomb, the more potent the death aura becomes, but that’s not the case. On the contrary, the deeper you go, the thinner the death aura.

Ye Feng entered the second layer, and suddenly, dozens of Dead Spirit Flowers erupted from the ground, twisting and opening their bloody mouths, continuously attacking Ye Feng. Yet Ye Feng easily slaughtered them.

Before long, dozens of Dead Spirit Flowers sliced by Ye Feng had accumulated before him.

Ye Feng continued to advance, and soon a day had passed, not knowing how many Dead Spirit Flowers he had hacked down along the way.

Finally, Ye Feng successfully entered the third layer, filled with dense death energy but devoid of death aura.

Although the death energy could affect martial artists, it wasn’t as significant as the influence from the first and second layers.

Ye Feng continued deeper into the third layer, where he could already see grave markers.

Beneath the grave markers were buried some slaves, specifically those from the Dead Spirit Clan—the lowest tier.

However, in the third layer, there was no Heart Clearing, and Ye Feng kept walking until he reached the fourth layer.

In the fourth layer, there were also numerous grave markers, but these were more elaborately crafted than those in the third layer, which were in shambles, on the verge of weathering away. The fourth layer differed as most tombs were well-preserved, and the ones buried there were commoners of the Dead Spirit Clan, hence the better-constructed graves.

Ye Feng proceeded to the fifth layer, where those buried were the mid-tier of the Dead Spirit Clan, each tomb meticulously constructed, virtually devoid of death aura.

At this moment, Ye Feng saw a faint blue glow shining on a tombstone.

A smile appeared on Ye Feng’s face—it was a lotus-like medicinal herb, precisely the Heart Clearing he had been searching for.

However, a single Heart Clearing wasn’t enough. Ye Feng needed at least a ten-thousand-year-old Heart Clearing, and this one’s age was merely a few hundred years, which Ye Feng ignored as he headed for the sixth layer.

Another half day passed, and Ye Feng successfully arrived at the sixth and final layer of the Nine Nether Great Tomb.

The sixth layer of the tomb was entirely different, another world; the sky had a faint blue glow, and the stars flickered visibly in the sky. On the magnificently constructed, golden splendor tombs, nearly every tomb had a Heart Clearing thousands of years old.

Beneath the tombs of the Dead Spirit Clan, each tomb might hold valuable burial artifacts.

Ye Feng directly approached the innermost tomb, intending to open it and retrieve the treasures inside.

Ye Feng looked at the tombstone, which bore ancient characters: ”Bai, Tomb of the Dead Spirit Clan’s Holy Daughter...”
