Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 664 - 660: Netherworld King’s Influence Returns, Xia Feng Re-enters God Burial Valley

Everyone’s expressions showed a hint of guilt, feeling that they hadn’t been able to help Xia Feng at all, and instead, Xia Feng had to think of ways to enhance them.

Xia Feng’s expression, however, did not change, instead becoming even more resolute: "Sooner or later, we all need to improve."

Xia Tianming couldn’t persuade Xia Feng, so he simply talked about the strange happenings in the Dream Realm Pearl: "I don’t know if it’s because of the outside, but there seems to be a faint touch of death qi here."

Xia Feng paused, then suddenly thought of something and spoke with a smile: "This has nothing to do with the outside; it’s mainly because of a prisoner I’ve captured."

He beckoned, and the head of one of the twelve Netherworld Kings he had previously captured emerged from the base of the nearby mountain range, flashing into his palm.

Even though it was already dead, the pressure belonging to the Netherworld King still caused some distortion to everything around.

Xia Tianming only felt it was hard to breathe and involuntarily stepped back several paces.

Even he found it somewhat unbearable; Emperor Xia and Father Xia, Mrs. Xia looked even more embarrassed, their faces turned pale and flushed, as if something was squeezing their necks, with faint black mist swirling over their faces.

Xia Feng quickly reacted and placed a translucent light shield over the skull.

He slightly frowned, and a dense layer of Power of Life emerged in the Dream Realm Pearl, visibly restoring everyone’s complexions.

Xia Tianming pressed his lips: "What is this? Is it the same as those outside? Is this the intensity of the enemies you face in the Divine Domain?"

He paused for a moment, speaking with some shock: "Just being in its presence makes us feel breathless; to what extent exactly have you cultivated your realm?"

Xia Feng did not answer this question directly, instead saying: "Now all Ten Great Divine Domains have been invaded by the Demon and Nether Realms, and their ultimate goal is in the God Burial Valley."

"I plan to take my wife there to explore the God Burial Valley further, to first find out what they are really after."

His gaze darkened and fell on that skull, making the black mist surrounding it tremble slightly, yet it remained lying dead in Xia Feng’s palm, not saying a word.

Xia Feng snorted lightly: "I’m keeping you to get some information, but if you know nothing, what use are you to me?"

After saying this, the Power of Life in his palm grew ever more intense, seemingly about to completely destroy the opponent in the next moment.

The skull hastily spoke: "It’s not that I don’t want to say, there are some things I simply can’t speak of, as doing so would also mean death."

Xia Feng’s expression was filled with a bit of frustration. He knew what the skull was saying was true, yet he still felt somewhat impatient.

The skull noticed his agitation and quickly tried to remedy: "Although I cannot reveal the ultimate goal, I can tell you other things."

"The Infinite Divine Domain has already fallen completely; it was through that passageway they invaded Great Xia."

"If the passage isn’t found, demons and death gods will appear continuously."

"Once their numbers accumulate to a certain point, even if Great Xia was once the Land of Gods, it won’t be able to suppress our cultivation levels anymore. Without this restraint, the Nether God can lead us to the final land."

The irritation within Xia Feng grew stronger, as if mentioning the God Burial Valley was a provocation to him.

The women noticed something was off, and Sun Yazhu took a step forward, resting a hand on his shoulder, worried as she said: "Husband, things haven’t reached the last step yet; everything’s still in time, don’t rush."

Xia Feng seemed to come to his senses, his fingers applying force and crushing the skull in his palm.

He realized inadvertently he was influenced by that Netherworld King; as the skull shattered, the divine power within the Dream Realm Pearl immediately operated, clearing away the death qi left by the Netherworld King.

Everyone’s faces also eased, and Xia Feng felt as though the heavy mountain pressing on his heart had been lifted.

He turned to Xia Tianming: "Although the Netherworld King has been dealt with, the information he gave is likely accurate. There should be a passage remaining between Great Xia and the Infinite Divine Domain that needs to be found."

Xia Tianming nodded; Xia Feng and the women were to go to the God Burial Valley and certainly didn’t have time to find the passage. Among those present, Xia Tianming had the highest cultivation and also cultivated the Great Dao of Space, making him the most suitable to find it.

Huang Xiaoqian wore a conflicted expression, hesitated for quite a while, but did not stop Xia Feng’s plan. She simply advised: "Be careful, prioritize your safety."

Xia Feng nodded, leaving behind some elixirs he obtained from the Celestial Pill Secret Realm for everyone, then left the Dream Realm Pearl with the group.

As soon as he came out, Xia Feng felt a kind of insight, as if he vaguely guessed the purpose of the Demon and Nether Races.

But the inspiration came quickly and disappeared in a flash; trying to grasp it again proved futile.

Just then, Sun Yazhu finished instructing everyone on how to consume the elixirs, turned towards Xia Feng, and his fleeting thoughts were interrupted again.

Suppressing his doubts, he led the women towards the direction of the God Burial Valley.

When they left before, the grievances had already started to stir, frantically spreading towards the valley’s exterior.

Now they had only been delayed for a bit in returning, and those grievances had already stained a surrounding area of ten miles.

Xia Feng frowned deeply; any further delay, and without the need for the Demon and Nether Races to invade, the anomalies appearing in God Burial Valley alone would suffice to plunge the entire Celestial Essence Continent into chaos.

The women stood behind him, hesitantly suggesting: "Set up an array; if things keep going on like this, these grievances will eventually spread."

Xia Feng nodded, busily working for half a day to gather the grievances back together, trapping them with an array.

After finishing, Xia Feng didn’t bother resting and hurriedly led the women into the God Burial Valley.

The outer grievances and Resentful Beasts were more restless than those they had seen before, though they didn’t bar the way for the women and Xia Feng; they slightly slowed their progress.

The feeling of unease within Xia Feng grew stronger, his frown not lifting since entering the God Burial Valley.

Given the Jiu Wu Dragon’s importance placed on him, such a situation shouldn’t occur.

Now that there was already such chaos on the periphery, it could only mean one thing: the Jiu Wu Dragon was entangled by something, unable to manage the external matters.

Recalling the urgent tone in the dragon roar from the Jiu Wu Dragon when Xia Feng previously let out a long howl, his heart tightened, and he sped up even more.
