Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 633 - 629: Slaying the Demon, Chaos in the Secret Realm

Xia Feng merely conceived an energy that could annihilate Demonic Qi, and the Star Power automatically transformed into the Power of Light.

Moreover, looking at the Demon on the opposite side, with its agonizing expression after being struck by the Holy Light, Xia Feng had an inkling that this energy seemed even more effective against Demonic Qi than the Power of Light.

The Demon kept rolling under the Holy Light, its originally crimson wings getting corroded with several big holes, and the Demonic Qi on its body gradually vanished like melting snow.

Painful howls continuously escaped from the Demon’s mouth, and black blood constantly flowed from its body, as if it were about to be vanquished by the Holy Light.

"No, how dare you, this energy... ah!"

The Demon’s mind seemed heavily affected by this energy as well, speaking in an incoherent manner, as if it forgot what it was talking about from one second to the next.

From the Demon’s disjointed words, Xia Feng learned some secret information.

The Celestial Pill Secret Realm had been invaded by the Demons and Death God, and those two outside Demon Abysses and Death Canyon were just a blinding technique by the Demons and Death God.

Long before the Celestial Pill Secret Realm opened, a group of intelligent Demons had led a large number of Resentful Beasts and Arrays into the Secret Realm, searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Celestial Pill.

Upon hearing this news, Xia Feng’s expression turned unusually grim, and he questioned, "Did you find the whereabouts of the Celestial Pill?"

The Demon opened its mouth as if trying to say something, but at just that moment, the surrounding Holy Light had grown so strong that it directly exhausted the Demon’s last breath, turning it into a wisp of black light that dissipated before Xia Feng’s eyes.

Xia Feng was taken aback; outside, whenever he killed Demons or Death Gods, they always left behind an energy crystal, known as a Demon Heart.

Yet this Demon was clearly more advanced than the ones outside, but left nothing behind upon death.

This made Xia Feng more cautious, uncertain whether the Holy Light was so powerful that it incinerated the Demon completely, or if the Demon had left a hidden trick and had other means to obstruct Xia Feng and the others.

Xia Feng waited for a full fifteen minutes without any sign of disturbance around him; he relaxed slightly and dived into the dark red miasma, prepared to continue dealing with those Resentful Beasts.

Unbeknownst to Xia Feng, as soon as he turned around, the wisp of black light that had vanished flickered once, like a dying ember flaring back to life, before sneaking quietly into the miasma, disappearing completely without a trace.

At this moment, the women were still maintaining the Ten Extremes Array, continuously annihilating the surrounding Resentful Beasts. Even though they were wearing down the resentment of the beasts, their cultivation couldn’t sustain such prolonged fighting indefinitely.

As Xia Feng joined in to lend a hand, the pressure on the women was instantly reduced a great deal.

Xia Feng glanced at the slightly fatigued women and said, "The Demon has already been dealt with. You all return to the Dream Realm Pearl to rest for now. I’ll call you out once I’ve entirely broken this strange array."

The women had persevered this far and naturally didn’t want to retreat now. Although the Demon was dealt with, who knew if more dangers lurked ahead? They wished to face it together with Xia Feng.

After a few attempts at persuasion and realizing their determination, Xia Feng let them be, merely expanding the defense of his Divine Armor to encompass the women, slightly easing his mind as he wielded the Star Power to eradicate the surrounding resentment.

Xia Feng had always been unsure about the grade of the Nameless Divine Technique he had learned before, and now he felt even more puzzled.

It not only included ten Divine Fire Platforms but also methods of manipulating Star Power.

This Star Power was separate from the Divine Fire Platforms, evidently much stronger than those Great Dao Rules.

If anything had to be said, only the Great Dao of Space-Time, combined from the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space, could somewhat contend with the Star Power, but just barely.

Now, the Star Power could even convert into a Great Dao he hadn’t mastered. Xia Feng vaguely sensed that the resentment being cleared so quickly by the Star Power was not merely because of suppression; rather, it seemed to fear the Star Power.

Thinking for a while without any clarity, the Star Power within Xia Feng grew increasingly intense, and the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand continuously harvested the resentment from surrounding Resentful Beasts.

In a short time, he cleared a whole patch of open space where the miasma appeared thinner than elsewhere.

Xia Feng pressed on with renewed vigor, simultaneously deploying the Heaven-Burying Sword and God-Burying Bell, swiftly exterminating the Resentful Beasts in the entire Celestial Pill Valley several times over.

By now, the miasma couldn’t sustain itself any longer and faintly revealed the original appearance of the valley.

Not only Xia Feng, but even Li Shiqing could spot the parted sections of the array from the patterns on the valley walls.

Seeing Xia Feng still dealing with the Resentful Beasts, the women exchanged glances before hurrying to the surrounding cliffs and using their Divine Power to shatter the array talisman patterns there.

By the time Xia Feng finished dealing with the Resentful Beasts, the array in the Celestial Pill Valley had already been completely obliterated.

The instant of destruction, the expressions of Xia Feng and the women all turned exceedingly grim.

Previously, with the array as a barrier, Xia Feng and the women were unaware of the outside situation.

Originally they thought only the Celestial Pill Valley had issues, but now, with the array dismantled, a massive surge of resentment engulfed the small valley once more.

The cleared space by Xia Feng was quickly repolluted by a mix of dark red miasma and pitch-black Demonic Qi.

Sun Yazhu instinctively pinched her nose and muttered, "It stinks."

The entire Celestial Pill Divine Domain had once been filled with ethereal pill fragrance to her senses, but now all of it was gone, leaving only a stench like rotting apples, so nauseating she wanted to vomit.

The other women were not as sensitive as her but still felt distinctly uncomfortable, turning with worried faces towards Xia Feng, "The sky is full of Demonic Qi and resentment. Who knows how many Demons and Death Gods have entered."

"The remaining talents may have a hard time surviving too. We can’t send messages out of the Secret Realm, so why not transmit out first and report to the Divine Kings?"

They knew Xia Feng’s Dream Transmission could traverse the Secret Realm. Now that the thick Demonic Qi in the Celestial Pill Secret Realm was beyond their capacity to resolve, they thought it wise to send the news out early to avoid being blamed unjustly.

After they finished speaking, Xia Feng shook his head, not in agreement with this viewpoint.

Even if they sent the news out, what would that accomplish, when the Divine Kings couldn’t enter the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, and if they did, their realm and cultivation would be significantly reduced.

Encountering Demons and Resentful Beasts enhanced by miasma and resentment might cause unexpected trouble.
