Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 482 - 478: The Strangeness of Evil Sword Valley

The Sword Demon’s scream and the Evil Sword Spirit share the same lineage, affecting the normal thinking of a sword cultivator, making their emotions irritable.

Xia Feng frowned slightly, initially trying to suppress his emotions, but later found that this irritable mood could stimulate the power of the World-Ending Saber Technique to become even more formidable, so he simply stopped controlling it.

He took a step forward, his long blade enveloped with a substantial amount of the Great Dao of the Overlord Blade, directly crushing towards the Sword Demon opposite.

The Sword Demon’s screams became even more miserable, the rolling black smoke around him was cleaved apart by the Great Dao of the Overlord Blade, revealing his original appearance.

Xia Feng turned his head to glance at Xiao Xue, his expression full of puzzlement, as if asking, "Is this all?"

Xiao Xue hesitated a couple of times, finally muttering, "Did I forget you not only mastered the Great Dao of Celestial Sword but also a lot of other Great Daos?"

"Moreover, normally, can’t others use different Great Daos in the Secret Realm?"

Xia Feng’s expression carried a bit of helplessness as he raised his eyes to look at Li Qingxue, speaking softly, "Try using the Great Dao of Celestial Sword against the Sword Demon."

Li Qingxue was taken aback, not asking why, directly thrusting the Snow Fall Sword forward.

Although Li Qingxue’s Sword Dao cultivation was not weak, stabbing the Sword Demon produced no reaction.

The Sword Demon was once again covered by rolling black smoke, the long sword in his hand swirling with specks of black energy, then slashing towards Li Qingxue’s direction.

Xia Feng instinctively draped the defensive capabilities of the Infinite Divine Armor over Li Qingxue and then, to his surprise, saw the black energy rapidly corroding everything around.

It could not only corrode the Great Dao of Celestial Sword in Li Qingxue’s hands, but even the Great Dao of Space around them was gradually being eroded.

Xia Feng squinted slightly, carefully probing, and was astonished to discover that even the Great Dao of Composites on the Infinite Divine Armor had been swallowed significantly.

To note, the Infinite Divine Armor had over a dozen Daos fused together, yet even so, a bit was corroded by the black energy.

Xia Feng felt that this energy gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling but couldn’t recall where he had seen this energy before.

Opposite, the Sword Demon relied on this black energy to keep slashing towards Li Qingxue, while Li Qingxue’s Great Dao of Celestial Sword had no attack power against the Sword Demon, leaving her only to defend passively.

After a few rounds, Xia Feng tightened the grip on his long blade, slashing towards the Sword Demon opposite.

The World-Ending Saber Technique, indeed worthy of being an Ancient Divine Technique, was no less powerful than the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, cutting the Sword Demon into several pieces with a few strokes.

Even after being dismembered, the Sword Demon still struggled, trying to swing his long sword towards the three of them.

In the end, Xia Feng used the Great Dao of Time to erase the Sword Demon’s traces, finally resolving this troublesome entity.

Xia Feng frowned in thought about what the black energy was, while Li Qingxue stood upright breathing heavily beside him.

Xia Tianming spoke with some puzzlement, "Although it was a bit difficult to kill, it seemed like you didn’t exert much effort?"

Li Qingxue shook her head, her expression also puzzled, "Not just that, this thing seems to absorb people’s life force."

"If it weren’t for my husband’s divine armor protecting me, I’m afraid several rounds of attacks would’ve drained a lot of my life force."

An idea flashed through Xia Feng’s mind, but he just couldn’t grasp it.

At this moment, Xiao Xue suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I know, to purify the Sword Demon, one must use the Great Dao of Light or the Great Dao of Life."

The thoughts that had just flashed through Xia Feng’s mind were suddenly grasped; he had seen this type of black energy before.

During his time in the Lower Realm, when he attacked the Death Empire and the Demon Empire, he had seen this energy on a Tier One Demon.

This is Demonic Qi.

Xia Feng’s body suddenly tensed up.

He wasn’t some ignorant kid who had just entered the Divine Domain.

Why the Ten Great Divine Domains achieved their current state, and why the Celestial Essence Continent fell into the Lower Realm to some extent, he understood.

The conditions behind all of this were inherently linked to the Demon Realm and the Netherworld.

Even now, Xiao Xueqing’s mother, the Life Divine King, was still on the front line resisting the revival of the Netherworld.

Xia Feng’s brows furrowed tightly; he didn’t know whether the earlier influence from the Sword Demon was why his mood appeared particularly irritable.

Next to him, Li Qingxue noticed Xia Feng’s mood was not quite right, stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and asked softly, "Husband, what’s wrong?"

"Since the Sword Demon died just now, you seem somewhat unsettled, did you discover something?"

Xia Feng hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "I just suddenly thought of something."

He beckoned to Xiao Xue, the Snow Fall Sword floated directly in front of him, and then Xia Feng activated the tenth Divine Fire Platform in the Nameless Divine Technique, converting the divine power in his body into a bit of the recently absorbed Great Dao of Demon.

Xiao Xue screamed frantically, "Ah! You’ve been tainted, you’ve been polluted, you’ve been devoured, quickly purify!"

"Quickly purify! Quickly purify! Quickly purify!"

Its voice was urgent and sharp, startling Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue beside them, especially since the black energy in Xia Feng’s hand was almost identical to the black energy on the Sword Demon earlier.

Li Qingxue spoke with some concern, "Is there a problem?"

Xia Feng shook his head and then waved his hand, directly converting the Great Dao of Demon into ordinary divine power, letting it merge back into his body.

Xiao Xue’s voice carried hesitation, "Quickly puri... huh? Strange, where did it go?"

It didn’t understand what had just happened, while Xia Feng did not explain much to it, only looking more worried.

Back when the conflict between the Divine Domain and the Demon Realm-Nethworld happened, all beings above Divine King Realm perished.

The Holy Sword Divine Emperor passed away at that time, leaving only the Holy Sword Secret Realm as a legacy of his cultivation, waiting for a fateful person to unlock it.

But why did the Great Dao of Demon appear in the Holy Sword Secret Realm, and even became the second trial checkpoint?

Xia Feng felt a vague unease in his heart but couldn’t say where it was wrong, so he suppressed his thoughts and began to look around.

He covered his eyes with the Great Dao of Demon, allowing him to see the surrounding scenes easily.

The originally dim fog appeared like a wiped-clean glass, revealing its original appearance under the coverage of the Great Dao of Demon.

Xia Feng observed the surrounding environment and then withdrew the Great Dao of Demon covering his eyes, explaining in a low voice, "More words are of no benefit; let’s continue searching for the passageway out."

After briefly resting, Xia Feng continued to explore deeper into the Evil Sword Valley with Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue.
