Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 396 - 392: Entering the Divine Hall of Inheritance
Whether it was the Sword Spirit itself or Xia Feng, both could see that the Heaven-Burying Sword had become more ancient and austere.
The intricate patterns on the blade, originally heavy, now held an added sense of something else, as if the energy infused had made the Heaven-Burying Sword stronger.
Xia Feng glanced at the Heaven-Burying Sword, and the Sword Spirit inside no longer chattered, instead, it seemed to faintly anticipate continuing the battle with the Blood Beasts.
It must have gained considerable benefits from the Blood Beasts to make such a choice.
Standing with sword in hand, his voice was filled with determination: "Since they say the more points you have, the more benefits you can get."
"Now killing Blood Beasts is so simple and almost endless, it would be a waste not to engage in a good slaughter given the benefit bestowed by the Wuji Divine Monarch."
After speaking, he beckoned the remaining two to enter the Spirit Light Flying Boat, taking the offensive in search of solitary Blood Beasts.
Tang Yunqi, witnessing closely, also felt the dominance of Xia Feng and Xia Tianming.
During these three days, even Tang Yunqi, who hadn’t gone out to battle, succumbed to sleep several times out of fatigue.
But Xia Feng and Xia Tianming remained lively and alert, seemingly unaware of exhaustion.
For three whole days, they almost never paused, continuously engaged in a frenzy of killing, resting only for a few minutes near the Treasure Pearl of the Spirit Light Flying Boat at most.
In the end, Tang Yunqi even felt that the blood hue of the Sea of Secret Realm had lightened a bit.
Little did he know, Xia Feng and Xia Tianming too rested, and rested well.
Whenever they felt tired, they would retreat into the Dream Realm Pearl for restoration.
While only a few minutes passed outside, several days of rest would occur within the Dream Realm Pearl.
As they finished resting within the Dream Realm Pearl, they would resume slaughtering Blood Beasts with nearly full vigor.
However, it wasn’t without drawbacks.
Though fully restored mentally, their bodies remained somewhat overworked.
If possible, it would be best to have a proper rest.
So, with five hours remaining in the three-day assessment, Xia Feng gave up slaying the surrounding Blood Beasts and directly piloted the Spirit Light Flying Boat into the range of the Divine Hall of Inheritance.
Unlike those chased by Blood Beasts into the Divine Hall of Inheritance, when Xia Feng’s Spirit Light Flying Boat passed by, the surrounding Blood Beasts even made way for them.
This left those inside the Divine Hall of Inheritance astounded and puzzled.
"Why aren’t they being chased by Blood Beasts?"
"Exactly, when we came in, we were tormented by Blood Beasts. If not for rushing into the Divine Hall of Inheritance at the last moment, we might have become part of the Blood Beasts outside by now."
"Yikes, don’t say such frightening things. Being able to enter is a blessing; perhaps they have something to repel or obscure the perception of Blood Beasts."
Unfortunately, unaware of these thoughts, had the Blood Beasts known, they might have torn them apart.
The Blood Beasts indeed lacked Spiritual Wisdom, acting on instinct, but they weren’t foolish.
The overwhelming bloodthirsty aura on these individuals, along with a sword that absorbed almost a third of the Sea of Secret Realm, how foolish would they have to be to rush to their deaths?
Some disciples from the Four Great Clans, their eyes flickering, seemed to recognize who this person was from the black Ancient Divine Artifact.
Some, envious, began murmuring softly: "Seems they rely on having an Ancient Divine Artifact, disregarding the Secret Realm inheritance altogether."
"Layered in the scent of blood, they must be killing Blood Beasts outside to earn more points."
"Haha, those two fools, not realizing that reaching the Divine Hall of Inheritance early also rewards points, they fought vainly outside for so long, possibly earning fewer points than us who came in early."
Initially whispers of mockery, seemingly worried Xia Feng might overhear and react in rage.
But then, someone shouted: "In the waiting space of the Divine Hall of Inheritance, random attacks are prohibited, or you’ll be teleported out and disqualified from inheritance."
Now everyone’s expressions relaxed, and the mocking voices grew louder.
"Hahaha, fools indeed, just crafting clothes for others."
"When I entered and submitted my points, the Wuji Divine Monarch’s illusion told me that maintaining this rank could get me a Middle Grade Secret Treasure."
"Now just waiting for the three days to end, and then I’ll have my Middle Grade Secret Treasure."
"Haha, back when you fought tooth and nail for a Middle Grade Secret Treasure Sword Spirit, and now I can easily get one, possibly even take it out of the Secret Realm."
"Want to guess my number and current ranking?"
That person boasted as if flaunting his feathers, and his gaze towards Xia Feng was taunting and disdainful.
Clearly, outside the Divine Hall of Inheritance, someone of his caliber would be nothing to Xia Feng, who could pierce through him with a single stab of his sword.
Yet now, he dared to flaunt his belongings in front of them.
Many around, upon hearing "Middle Grade Secret Treasure," had eyes gleaming, as if acquiring such a treasure would elevate their entire lives.
Little did they know, being from one of the Four Great Clans, whether this Secret Treasure would remain with them after leaving was uncertain.
The bystanders didn’t think much of it, but Xia Feng, after putting away the Spirit Light Flying Boat, assessed the person up and down.
"Which clan are you from?"
The person paused momentarily, replying with a superiority complex: "The Ximen Clan. Our leader this time is the great-grandson of our Clan Leader..."
Xia Feng only heard the beginning, losing interest in the rest, but the Ximen Clan indeed.
Brought by Ximen Qing, no wonder they seemed both conceited and foolish.
With Xia Tianming, he stepped forward, intending to have the Plum Blossom Brand’s points tallied in the Divine Hall of Inheritance, officially ranking.
The others, relying on Xia Feng’s inability to kill them at this time, surrounded them, not allowing them through.
"Haha, fools, you only have two people, while we have over a hundred. If you want to pass through us, just hit us."
"Then the Divine Hall of Inheritance will throw you out, stripping you of your inheritance qualification."
The speaker had plotted well, planning to have a dozen or so Loose Cultivators obstruct Xia Feng, forcing him to attack.
This way, violating the realm’s rules, they could effortlessly remove Xia Feng from the Infinite Secret Realm for others outside to deal with.
