Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 515 - 511: The Greedy Dongfang Clan

Just a week before Xia Feng and the others returned to the Great Xia, people from the Dongfang Clan in the Infinite Divine Domain finally broke through the spatial barrier between the Infinite Secret Realm and the Lower Realm, re-establishing a space wormhole.

It was previously mentioned that the spatial barrier between the Divine Domain and the Lower Realm is very thick, only allowing Martial Gods below the Celestial God Realm to descend.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation of the Martial God, the stronger the binding force.

But after the disappearance of the Infinite Secret Realm, the Dongfang Clan went completely mad.

On one hand, they wanted to catch Xia Feng to obtain the Ancient Divine Artifact in his possession, and on the other hand, they wanted to gain the legacy of the Infinite Secret Realm from him.

The temptation of these two things was enough to make Dongfang Changming decide to open the wormhole.

Once the wormhole was opened, he would order a few Martial Gods to go to the Lower Realm to capture Xia Feng’s elders, forcing Xia Feng to comply with their demands to save them.

Dongfang Changming devised a thorough plan and imagined it beautifully.

However, he had no idea that the current Celestial Essence Continent was completely different from what he had imagined.

The divine vein composed of nine Top Grade Divine Marrows made the divine power of the entire Great Xia dense to the point of being almost no different from the Divine Domain. If it continued this way, the Great Xia Empire might evolve into the Great Xia Divine Domain.

The ten Martial Gods who came to the Lower Realm hesitated a bit, feeling that the matter was critical and needed to be discussed with the clan leader.

When Dongfang Changming heard about the situation in Great Xia, he was instantly shocked.

He knew that back when there was no divine power in the Lower Realm, exceptional individuals like Xia Feng and Xia Tianming could still emerge.

Now that the Lower Realm is filled with divine power, does that not mean more adversarial Martial Gods will appear in the future?

Dongfang Changming could absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, so what began as a plan to just capture Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian eventually turned into a plan to annihilate the entire Great Xia.

However, Xia Feng had previously cultivated quite a number of Martial Gods within the Dream Realm Pearl. Those initial ten Martial Gods who descended from the Infinite Divine Domain were killed in the Lower Realm without creating much of a stir. Only one Martial God, who excelled in the Great Dao of Space, escaped back to the Infinite Divine Domain from Great Xia.

Upon receiving the news, Dongfang Changming was both shocked and furious. In a fit of rage, he expanded the space wormhole considerably and sent a Sixth Grade Celestial God with numerous Martial Gods to the Lower Realm, aiming to annihilate the entire Great Xia.

It was quite coincidental when Xia Feng returned; these Martial Gods had just descended and were preparing to launch their first attack.

After hearing from Xia Naiwen about the current situation, Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

After emerging from the Infinite Secret Realm, he immediately left the Infinite Divine Domain, deliberately avoiding the clan leaders of the Four Great Clans.

But he was no longer the same person who had just come out of the Secret Realm; now, with a Ninth Grade True God Realm foundation, Xia Feng was exceptionally solid, capable of contending with cultivators at the Main God Realm.

If he leveraged the power of the Dream Realm Pearl, he could ensure his survival even when facing a Divine King.

Dongfang Changming’s repeated attacks on his family had reached Xia Feng’s limit of tolerance.

Beside him, Xia Tianming sensed Xia Feng’s intent and softly said, "Such insignificant figures don’t require your intervention yet."

"Coincidentally, my cultivation has also improved quite a bit recently, so let me deal with these small characters to adapt myself."

Xia Feng gave Xia Tianming a slightly worried glance, and Li Qingxue, standing beside him, spoke up, "Husband, are you worried that the Celestial God at the forefront might lay a hand on Grandpa?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be here to support Grandpa from behind. Let him unleash himself."

Xia Tianming’s cultivation of the Great Dao of Space did not advance much in the Holy Sword Secret Realm, so wanting to hone himself through battle was understandable.

Seeing Xia Feng agree, Xia Tianming was relieved. With a single hand, he cut through the surrounding space and directly summoned the Void Cauldron.

"Hah! How dare you youngsters clamour before the gates of Great Xia? Is this the only kind of underhanded methods the Dongfang Clan knows?"

He chastised the opposing Martial God Corps while violently wielding the Void Cauldron, smashing it into the opposing corps.

The leading Dongfang Tian’s expression changed slightly as he shouted, "It’s an Ancient Divine Artifact, form the formation quickly!"

Seeing Xia Tianming’s First Grade Celestial God Realm cultivation, he knew the Martial Gods behind him would not be able to withstand this blow, so he quickly instructed them to form a formation to resist it collectively.

Furthermore, he rushed towards Xia Tianming himself, seemingly trying to use his cultivation to directly suppress Xia Tianming.

Xia Tianming was about to retract the Void Cauldron to defend himself when Li Qingxue, standing beside Xia Feng, stepped forward ahead of him.

"Grandpa, no need to worry, I’m here to assist you."

While speaking, Li Qingxue drew her Snow Fall Sword, swinging it casually outside the Imperial Capital.

The Sword Qi surged directly into the Dongfang Clan’s corps outside, and Dongfang Tian suddenly felt a sense of imminent crisis in his heart.

He could no longer focus on attacking Xia Tianming, concentrating all his energy on defending against this seemingly casually swung Sword Qi.

Li Qingxue, being a Ninth Grade Celestial God, had absorbed substantial amounts of Sword Qi and Sword Heart within the Divine Emperor Secret Realm.

She was already much more formidable than ordinary Ninth Grade Celestial Gods, and the casual swing of her sword was equivalent to the full strike of an ordinary Eighth Grade Celestial God.

The opponent was merely an ordinary Sixth Grade Celestial God, who, despite exhausting all his strength, could only slightly diminish the Sword Qi’s potency.

Struck by the residual power, Dongfang Tian stumbled back nearly a hundred meters before barely resisting the force.

Although he managed to withstand the Sword Qi, his face was extremely grave.

Many Martial Gods in the Eastern Corps, ignoring the Void Cauldron barreling towards them, gawked in shock at Dongfang Tian, who was knocked back.

They knew Dongfang Tian was a Sixth Grade Celestial God; to be sent flying by a single sword stroke, just how powerful was the opponent?

Their eyes darted around frantically, seemingly calculating how to escape.

However, Xia Tianming wasn’t about to give them the chance; the Void Cauldron suddenly expanded, directly trapping them inside.

As a First Grade Celestial God, dealing with these Martial God Realm troops was as easy as pie for Xia Tianming.

Even though they were numerous, to him, it was merely a matter of exerting a little effort.

Screams soon emanated from the Void Cauldron where the Eastern Corps was trapped, along with streams of blood flowing from it.

Normally, when the Void Cauldron unfolds, the sound and scene within cannot be projected outside.

Xia Tianming’s deliberate display today was merely to intimidate the opposing Dongfang Tian and to boost the morale of the Great Xia Corps behind him.

The cultivation of these soldiers had been elevated by Xia Feng, but facing enemies at the Martial God Realm still instilled some fear in them.

Now, with Xia Tianming’s single assault obliterating the enemy corps, the Great Xia soldiers erupted in cheers, no longer fearing the Celestial Gods on the other side.
