After that, Lin Xiu and Fang Xu talked about some other things about Phoenix City, which made Lin Xiu have a good impression of the City Lord of Phoenix City. He made up his mind that this person was a promising talent. If possible, he might as well invite him to the Gui Yuan Sect after the battle with Nine Nether.
The two of them went down the mountain. This time, Lin Xiu personally sent Fang Xu to the secret territory of the Monster Clan before leaving.
There was still a month before the battle with Nine Nether. Lin Xiu returned to his cave abode and adjusted his condition. He then sat down cross-legged and activated the Thousand Layer Body Refinement Technique to absorb the spiritual energy in the surroundings. He wanted to increase his cultivation as much as possible.
As time passed, the news of the upcoming battle between Lin Xiu and Nine Nether slowly spread across the continent. Almost all the powerful warriors were focused on this battle.
On this day, it was finally time for the battle between Lin Xiu and Nine Nether. Most of the experts from the Gui Yuan Sect followed Lin Xiu to the East Sea under Wu Kejun's lead.
The East Sea was calm and peaceful.
However, the oppressive feeling before the storm made all the experts unable to breathe freely. It was as if there was a huge stone in their hearts. They didn't know the outcome of this battle.
Although Lin Xiu's cultivation had increased rapidly over the years, Nine Nether was definitely a famous expert in the continent. Therefore, most people thought that Lin Xiu wouldn't be able to obtain the final victory.
Lin Xiu naturally didn't know all of this. He stood on the surface of the sea and the gentle seawater flowed slowly from his toes. It made Lin Xiu's state of mind calm.
Unknowingly, the Sea God had arrived under the escort of a group of experts from the sea. He looked at Lin Xiu, who was resting with his eyes closed, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
He didn't expect the junior that he thought highly of to reach such a height today.
The Sea God believed from the bottom of his heart that even if Lin Xiu was not Nine Nether's opponent this time, the difference between the two would not be too big. Moreover, this was his home ground. If Nine Nether really wanted to kill, the Sea God was completely confident that he could save Lin Xiu from his hands.
Soon, it was noon. The blazing sun was not stingy in spreading its heat, causing the experts below to feel even more vexed because the people of the Netherworld Palace had yet to arrive.
"What's going on with the Netherworld Palace? They actually made so many of our powerhouses wait for them here. They aren't the overlords of the continent yet. How infuriating!" A powerhouse who had arrived at the shore of the East Sea was cursing incessantly.
"You should speak less. The people from the Netherworld Palace are known for being vengeful. If they hear what you said, I'm afraid you won't have a good time in the future." Someone beside that powerhouse tugged on his sleeve and said softly.
At that moment, the sound of the air being torn apart rang out in the distance. A group of people covered in black robes arrived. The person in the lead wore a crown of bones, and the aura he gave off was extremely evil. His face was deathly pale, and his lips were as red as blood.
This person was Nine Nether.
All of a sudden, the surroundings quietened down. Every powerhouse was extremely cautious in front of the people from the Netherworld Palace.
It couldn't be helped. Over the years, as the Netherworld Palace had attacked, countless experts had lost their sects to the Netherworld Palace. Every single one of them had a deep hatred for the Netherworld Palace, but when the people of the Netherworld Palace appeared in front of them, no matter how fiercely they were shouting behind their backs, they all became docile lambs and withdrew their arrogance.
Nine Nether was a little surprised to see so many powerhouses gathered at the shore of the East Sea. But when he saw Lin Xiu, who was on the surface of the sea, he couldn't help revealing a smile and said, "In the entire Immortal Martial Continent, only you, Lin Xiu, can be considered an opponent by me."
At this moment, Lin Xiu raised his head and looked at Nine Nether. He didn't know what to feel.
This was the first time he saw Nine Nether. Although the other party looked extremely strange, he could feel that Nine Nether wasn't as evil as the rumors made him out to be. He couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
But no matter how he thought about it, it was an indisputable fact that countless people had their families broken up because of Nine Nether and fell into a precarious situation.
"Hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person. The name of Nine Nether is like thunder piercing my ears." Lin Xiu gently cupped his fists and walked towards Nine Nether.
As for the surrounding powerhouses, they consciously retreated at this moment, leaving enough space for the two of them.
When their gazes met, sparks actually appeared out of nowhere. The strength of the two of them truly lived up to their reputations. Under this pressure, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
There were many powerhouses that had reached the pinnacle of the Manifestation Realm. They also came here this time to see the gap between them and the two of them. But at this moment, those powerhouses had no choice but to admit that the gap between the two of them was like a chasm.
As the people involved, Lin Xiu and Nine Nether didn't have the time to think about these things. All of their attention was on each other.
The two of them could be said to be the most powerful people in the Immortal Martial Continent. Their clash this time would also affect the trend of the war to a great extent.
No one dared to let their guard down. At this moment, there was a faint excitement in Nine Nether's heart. Ever since he broke free, there were very few people that could make him look at them seriously. And Lin Xiu, who was in front of him, just happened to be qualified.
Lin Xiu felt a heavy pressure. Although he had fought with many powerhouses in the past few years, the pressure he felt this time wasn't as great.
Nine Nether had truly reached the half-step Dao Comprehension Realm. As long as he could collect the three Saint artifacts that could mend the sky, he could borrow their luck and naturally break through to the true Dao Comprehension Realm.
And to be honest, Lin Xiu's current cultivation was only at the 10th level of the half-step Universe Realm. There was still a gap of one Dao Comprehension Realm between the two of them.
However, in the true cultivation world, the battle prowess of a martialist was never determined by their superficial cultivation realms.
Both of them took a deep breath, and then the aura on their bodies rose as they fought in the air.
The endless sea water set off a thousand layers of waves, and even the heaven and earth seemed to be trembling under the power of these two people.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. In an instant, sand and stones were also flying. On the surface of the East Sea, there seemed to be a tornado that appeared out of nowhere, sucking in a lot of seawater. It was a spectacular scene.
"The strength of these two people is really too strong. We have to continue to retreat." Many powerhouses hurriedly said.
Nine Nether and Lin Xiu had used all their essence, breath, and spirit to increase their aura. The two of them appeared to be standing still, but their foreheads were covered in beads of sweat.
To both sides, they could be considered as rare opponents.
Finally, the auras of both parties had reached their peak. If this continued, the two of them would have to endure quite a bit of pressure. Almost at the same time, a glint flashed across their eyes. After which, their bodies floated into the air at the same time.
The two of them who were in the air had already raised all their strength to the extreme.
The powerhouses below did not know what kind of strength the two of them had, so some people who were confident in their strength still watched from a close distance. There were even many people who floated into the air at the same time to watch the battle.
"Lin Xiu, how can we let these people look at our battle as though we are clowns?" Nine Nether frowned slightly, then said to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu nodded his head in response, but his thoughts were different from Nine Nether's. At their level of cultivation, every move they made would contain great might. Lin Xiu was also worried that if he and Nine Nether didn't control their strength well, it was very likely that the experts around them would be implicated.
After the two of them looked at each other, their figures soared into the sky again, and soon passed through the fierce astral wind layer.
After reaching here, only some powerhouses at the peak of the Manifestation Realm could withstand it. Ordinary powerhouses could not come here at all, so the two of them were a lot more relieved.
"Actually, I quite admire you. To be able to reach your current cultivation level at such a young age, the younger generation will surpass us in time." Nine Nether glanced at Lin Xiu, then said aloud. This was also what he was thinking.
