Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 676 - 672: Collective Breakthrough, Power Soaring

Xia Feng’s face showed a bit of helplessness: "Since the Demon and Nether Realms don’t want to give us any way out, we naturally have to find a way to resist."

"We can’t just sit back and be captured without putting up a fight."

The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens looked at Xia Feng a few times, then laughed heartily.

"I understand now why the Creator God took a liking to you, kid. You’re just like him, a character that would rather break than bend."

After laughing, he sighed slightly: "Back then, we sacrificed ourselves for the cause, turning our bodies into those seals, doing these things mostly under the guidance of the Creator God."

He raised his head, looking at the sky within the Dream Realm Pearl: "Many Ancient Gods thought there was no need to go to a life-and-death struggle with the Demon and Nether Races."

"After all, even Ancient Gods eventually die, and no one can be sure if they’ll have lingering thoughts after death."

"Perhaps the Ancient Gods might transform into another form and become part of the Nether Race after death."

"Or, perhaps, some Ancient Gods might succumb to temptation and become part of the Demon Race."

"A race may only temporarily change its form, and after becoming part of those two races, it doesn’t mean we stop being Ancient Gods."

He turned his head to look at Xia Feng, as if confirming something: "Do you understand what I’m trying to say?"

Xia Feng furrowed his brows deeply, looking disapproving: "I understand what you mean, but I don’t think that’s correct."

"Those who are not of our race are certain to have different hearts, and even if we really became part of the Demon and Nether Races, we are inherently different from them."

"Moreover, their method of cultivation is to deprive others of their vitality, which is a very cruel way to cultivate."

"If the entire Divine Domain turned into this, I’m afraid it would descend into chaos."

The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens nodded, looking somewhat satisfied: "You’re young, and being able to consider these things is indeed impressive."

"The Creator God’s might is not something they could resist. After tempting the Creator God multiple times without success, these alien races finally tore off their masks."

"They released the Resentful Beasts, depleting the Divine Realm’s source, and then used a decoy strategy to lure the Creator God away, unable to leave that place for a short time."

"Subsequently, a great war broke out between the Divine Realm and the Demon and Nether Realms. The Divine Realm was shattered, becoming the fragmented state it is today."

"Following the Creator God’s aspiration before he left, I led a group of willing Ancient Gods and cultivators above the Divine King Realm to the boundary, turning ourselves into a seal, blocking the two races outside for many years."

Xia Feng realized the implication of his words, his expression becoming a bit shocked: "So, back then, it was only a matter of weighing pros and cons. You thought that the Creator God would definitely return, so you only intended to block them temporarily."

"But so many years have passed since that war, the Creator God..."

The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens also showed some worry in his eyes: "Yes, so many years have passed, and the Creator God has never returned. Instead, we welcomed you, the little guy who inherited the Creator God’s legacy."

"We don’t even know where he is now, or what situation he is in."

"If he really got trapped somewhere, even if you elevate all the elites to the Divine Monarch Realm, I am not very optimistic about the outcome of this battle."

Xia Feng felt a pang in his heart and subconsciously asked, "Why do you say that?"

The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens glanced at him: "Although the Demon and Nether Races don’t have someone of the Creator God’s level, they do have two beings only slightly below his realm."

"The Nether Ancestor was seriously injured back in the day, and we don’t know how much he’s recovered now. But the Demon Ancestor has been alive all along, and after so many years of accumulation, we don’t know if he’s taken that final step."

Xia Feng slightly lowered his gaze, not speaking. The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens chuckled, "What, are you feeling afraid after hearing these words?"

Xia Feng curved a slight smile at the corners of his lips, "Not at all. I am just wondering how much time I need to break through to the Divine Ancestor Realm."

The Primordial God of Opening the Heavens burst into hearty laughter: "Good kid, you have ambitions. Work hard, and perhaps that day will truly come."

After speaking, he patted Xia Feng’s shoulder, turning around and delving into the mural.

Xia Feng hid the existence of the Ancient Divine Hall away. The entire Dream Realm Pearl was large enough to provide ample space for these elites to strive.

The previously transplanted Sword Pool, Celestial Pill Valley, and Heaven-Reaching Ladder made all the elites very excited, constantly striving to quickly enhance their cultivation.

Xia Feng slightly closed his eyes, and although his expression remained calm like the wind and clouds, the worry within his heart was pressing down on him, nearly suffocating him.

In the outside world, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, but within the Dream Realm Pearl, everyone actually experienced tens of billions of years.

When preparing to leave, Xia Feng specifically checked everyone’s realm.

Over these tens of billions of years, Xia Feng stayed in the Ancient Divine Hall, acquiring all kinds of new knowledge, and his realm had increased to the Ninth Grade Divine Venerable level.

The women had also received more inheritances, breaking through to the Third Grade Divine Venerable realm.

Xia Tianming advanced even more rapidly, stronger than the women by a few degrees, having forcibly accepted the complete legacy of the Void Ancient God, breaking through to the Sixth Grade Divine Venerable realm.

The Ten Great Divine Kings and some Clan Leaders of Hidden Clans had broken through to the Ninth Grade Divine Emperor realm, very close to reaching the Divine Venerable Realm.

The remaining soldiers, even the weakest among them, had broken through to the Divine King Realm, with most advancing to the Divine Monarch Realm, their essence, qi, and spirit much stronger than before.

Although the soldiers of Great Xia had a weaker foundation, many had accepted the Ancient God’s legacy thanks to Xia Feng’s partiality, advancing even faster than the elites of the Ten Great Divine Domains.

This made the elites envy the soldiers of Great Xia, wishing they could also join Great Xia to enjoy such special treatment.

The realms of successive Emperors Xia had also broken through to the Divine Monarch Realm, though their talent differed, some having a higher realm than others.

Xia Feng counted the numbers, took a deep breath: "After going out this time, we may face total war with the Demon and Nether Realms, are you afraid?"

The elites below were experiencing a surge in morale after enhancing their cultivation, shouting frantically: "Not afraid!"

Xia Feng nodded slightly, revealing a slight smile, gaining a bit more confidence in his heart, directing these elites to leave the Dream Realm Pearl.

The Ten Great Divine Kings should now be called the Ten Great Divine Emperors, showing more approval in their expressions when they looked at Xia Feng.

"We’ve been away from the Divine Domain for quite some time. Let’s return and resolve the troubles in our respective divine domains first, then come to Great Xia to find you."
