Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled
Chapter 592 - 588: Xia Feng Takes on the Ten Great Divine Domains Alone
The prodigious talents from the Celestial Sword Divine Domain, Infinite Divine Domain, and Celestial Sound Divine Domain cowered behind, evidently intimidated by the combat prowess Xia Feng had displayed in the Secret Realm earlier.
Since they were acting sensibly, Xia Feng naturally wouldn’t target them without reason and instead engaged in several ’sparring matches’ with the challengers who stepped forward.
The more they fought, the uglier these prodigious talents’ expressions became.
When a prodigy from the Extreme Ice Divine Domain came to challenge, Xia Feng used the Great Dao of Extreme Ice to suppress him.
When a prodigy from the Li Huo Divine Domain challenged, Xia Feng used the Great Dao of Li Huo to suppress him.
...
No matter which Divine Domain the challenger came from, Xia Feng could use the corresponding Great Dao to suppress them back.
If it were just one or two, it might have been fine, but after suppressing challengers from a full seven Divine Domains, their gazes towards Xia Feng carried a hint of terror.
No one at this age and at this realm could have mastered so many Great Daos, much less comprehend each of Xia Feng’s Daos so profoundly that the other prodigies were left speechless.
Furthermore, the faintly appearing Divine Armor on Xia Feng when he was under attack left everyone questioning his true identity and how he could possess so many things.
They racked their brains but couldn’t think of any Hidden Clan associated with the Xia Family, yet if he wasn’t a young master from a Hidden Clan, where did Xia Feng acquire all these things?
While they looked at Xia Feng with wary respect, someone from the Yu Race in the Celestial Sword Divine Domain couldn’t help but speak out.
"This kid is from the Lower Realm, having grown up with the Divine Maidens. Presumably, he charmed the Divine Maidens in the Lower Realm, and they gave all their cultivation resources to him."
"And even after reaching the Upper Realm, he entangled himself endlessly with the Divine Maidens, effectively living off them."
Xia Feng was already outstanding enough to put pressure on all prodigies. Now, with such an improbable explanation from the Yu Race, those around began to believe it.
They seemed more inclined to believe that Xia Feng relied on the Divine Maiden’s power to achieve his level of cultivation, rather than believe a person from the Lower Realm could achieve this on their own.
Xia Feng sneered, casting a cold gaze in the direction of the speaker.
The person from the Yu Race was from Li Qingyu’s paternal clan and since Li Qingyu had died, the relationship between them and the Celestial Sword Divine King had become cold.
Fearing that the Celestial Sword Divine King would forget them and apprehensive about other prodigies targeting them for Li Qingyu’s actions leading to their deaths in the Celestial Sword Secret Realm, they had simply renamed their entire race to the Yu Race.
As Xia Feng looked over, he recognized the familiar face mingling among the crowd, slightly raising a brow and darkening his gaze slightly.
However, there were too many prodigies here, and any movement could stir chaos. For the peace among the Ten Great Divine Domains, Xia Feng refrained from taking drastic action here, opting to wait for the upcoming trials to find an opportunity to deal with these vexing flies.
He narrowed his eyes, scanning the surroundings, his voice carrying a hint of amusement: "Anyone else wish to challenge?"
"If not, I might as well return and rest."
None of the prodigies around spoke, yet their expressions seemed unsatisfied.
The people from the Yu Race continued inciting those around them: "If his combat power is this strong, letting him take part in the trial will surely see him claim victory and enter the Celestial Pill Secret Realm first."
"It’s still unknown how many Celestial Pills will emerge this time. If this kid enters, none of us would be his match in single combat."
"Better make the most of the numbers now and take him down once and for all."
The rhetoric of the person from the Yu Race was quite clever, and with a few words, those around them began to waver.
Yet, among the prodigies were those with good sense. Seeing the agitation around them, some couldn’t help but argue: "But this kid never struck lethally. When challenged, he mostly showed restraint. Do we truly plan to kill here?"
"If pursued by the Divine Kings of other Divine Domains, how will we explain ourselves?"
The person from the Yu Race quickly countered: "What need is there for explanation? This kid is from the Lower Realm, not belonging to the Ten Great Divine Domains. The Ten Great Divine Kings won’t trouble us over him."
"Besides, wasn’t it he who proposed the challenge match?"
"Accidents and casualties in a sparring match are inevitable, right? Who would cause us trouble over this?"
More and more prodigies began to grow agitated, eyeing Xia Feng with malice.
Xia Feng sneered: "Can’t beat me openly, so now resorting to petty tricks. The prodigies of the Ten Great Divine Domains sure have gall."
After speaking, he shook the God-Burying Bell on his left wrist, and a resonant chime echoed within everyone’s mind.
Layer upon layer of soul waves expanded, and those clamoring to teach Xia Feng a lesson froze, losing control over their bodies.
The women, however, under Xia Feng’s deliberate shielding, sensed nothing. Only Sun Yazhu, with her heightened spiritual power from years of alchemy, detected the strength of the attack.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xia Feng: "Husband is so powerful, taking down so many prodigies with just one move."
Xia Feng’s lips curved subtly: "Alright, let them cool down here. They’re too hot-blooded for their age." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Xia Feng and the others were just in their early twenties, while the prodigies around, appearing of similar age, were actually at least several thousand years old.
Having matches with Xia Feng itself was an act of using age and numbers to overwhelm him, yet they failed. Such news would be quite humiliating.
So, after the group left, the prodigies regaining their senses wore increasingly unpleasant expressions, realizing that today’s performance had become a stepping stone for Xia Feng.
Especially as they detected the Divine Sense of the retreating Divine Kings, it only made them more irate.
Unable to best Xia Feng, they turned their attention to the Yu Race: "It’s all your fault for inciting trouble, otherwise we wouldn’t have intended to deal with that kid."
"Though possessing ten Divine Maidens is somewhat excessive, none of the Ten Great Divine Kings have spoken against it. Was it necessary for us to speak out?"
"Moreover, even if the Divine Maidens weren’t with him, they likely wouldn’t fancy us, would they?"
"Having seen such a stunning existence, it would perhaps be difficult for them to notice anyone else."
Despite their anger, those around did nothing to the Yu Race, merely regarding them with impatience and disdain, ultimately ostracizing them in silence.
Xia Feng was unaware of events there, but if he did, he would certainly wholeheartedly agree.
