Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 665 - 661: Restless Resentment, the Ancient Divine Hall Reappears

The situation inside God Burial Valley was even more chaotic than outside, with the Resentful Beasts tangled together, biting each other.

Originally, this was meant to dissipate the resentment, because the Resentful Beasts, after biting, needed to devour more resentment to heal their physical wounds.

But now it seemed they were using it as a means for evolution. After devouring other Resentful Beasts, the one that remained visibly grew stronger.

The remaining Resentful Beast, after devouring the resentment, quickly restored its form at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding resentment seemed inexhaustible, quickly replenishing more resentment, promoting the evolution of the nearby Resentful Beasts.

Originally, Resentful Beasts with Main God realm level appeared only in the inner perimeter, even close to the core. Now they were everywhere on the periphery.

Xia Feng worried that these Resentful Beasts would affect the women, so he eliminated them whenever he saw them.

With his abilities, these Resentful Beasts should have been utterly destroyed, but now they were being reborn within distant clouds of resentment, seemingly endless and impossible to completely eradicate.

Xia Feng’s expression grew more serious as he moved further inside. Eventually, he focused solely on running towards the core area.

As they reached the inner perimeter, an ancient Divine Hall suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

Xia Feng recognized it as the Divine Hall where he had obtained the Heaven-Burying Sword. Though a bit delighted, he was more worried.

What exactly was happening on the Jiu Wu Dragon’s side that it would rather bring out this Divine Hall than meet him?

The women following Xia Feng exchanged glances, unsure if this Divine Hall was safe.

Xia Feng paused, suppressing the worry in his heart, and said softly, "Let’s go. This Divine Hall is also a fortune given to us by the Jiu Wu Dragon, and how much one can comprehend depends entirely on oneself."

With that, he was the first to push open the heavy, ancient door, and strands of Ancient Divine Power entwined around them.

Once everyone had entered the Divine Hall, the ancient doors slowly closed, and threads of Divine Fire lit up the hall, illuminating it like daylight.

The sudden brightness startled the women, who looked around with alert expressions.

Xia Feng gave them a reassuring look and then turned to see the murals on the walls.

Compared to when he first came in, the murals seemed more lifelike, with the Ancient Gods on them constantly changing positions, occasionally glancing at Xia Feng and his group outside.

If not for the walls as a barrier, Xia Feng vaguely felt that these Ancient Gods were about to come out of the mural.

Though they hadn’t emerged from the wall, they had approached quite close, with those who had taught Xia Feng moves scrutinizing the group.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, little one. It’s only been a short time, and you’ve already cultivated to this level."

"Such talent, even in our time, would have been enough to amaze."

"Now, with Divine Power thin and the air corroded by resentment, it’s incomparable to our time. Yet, you managed to cultivate to this level. Indeed, you’re someone we had our eyes on."

The Ancient Gods in the murals chattered quickly, with some unintelligible language mixed in, and Xia Feng only caught parts of it.

Seeing the Ancient Gods excitedly conversing, seemingly unaware of the outside world, Xia Feng couldn’t help but lightly cough.

The interrupted Ancient Gods showed some displeasure but said nothing more when they saw it was Xia Feng, patiently asking, "Little one, we’re praising you, so why do you look unhappy?"

Xia Feng smiled wryly, "I didn’t intend to disturb your interest, but the situation outside is rather chaotic, so I brought my wives here to seek your advice."

He paused and then continued, "The several Ancient God lords who helped me back then, I promised to find heirs for you."

Xia Feng glanced at the women, signaling the Ancient Gods to see if any among them could be the worthy inheritors of their skills.

The dozen or so Ancients who had previously taught Xia Feng immediately crowded closer, carefully examining the women through the mural, seemingly trying to detect their talent.

The other Ancient Gods looked on with a bit of envy but did not interrupt them, instead turning to Xia Feng to ask about the outside situation.

"Little one, you just mentioned the chaos outside. What happened?"

Xia Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, then he spoke, "There’s a long story to tell."

With that, he recounted the events of increasing the Divine Power concentration on the Celestial Essence Continent and the encounters with the Demon and Nether Races at the Celestial Pill Secret Realm.

Toward the end, his expression turned grim, and he said helplessly, "The Celestial Sword Divine King had warned me that elevating the Great Xia to a Divine Domain would come at a considerable cost, but I didn’t expect it to cause so much trouble."

"Before entering God Burial Valley, there were already Demon and Nether races surging into Great Xia through space passages. Before entering, I managed to deal with that batch, but who knows when more might come in."

"Additionally, the surrounding Resentful Beasts have also undergone some changes, becoming more active and spreading beyond God Burial Valley."

Now the Ancient Gods, who had been examining potential heirs, abandoned their evaluations, their expressions turning shocked as they came closer.

"Impossible, outside God Burial Valley there’s an array set by a great one, resentment can’t spread out."

"Even if you’ve elevated the entire Celestial Essence Continent to a Divine Domain, it shouldn’t affect this place, how could such things happen?"

Those Ancient Gods familiar with Xia Feng knew he wasn’t one to lie, and anxiety grew in their hearts.

Xia Feng sighed, "The outside world is in chaos, and further unexpected events might unfold in the future. I thought I’d bring my wives in to learn more, to have better chances of survival in the impending chaotic battles."

The Ancient Gods chattered again until someone mentioned, "Heaven Opening is coming."

Upon these words, those Ancient Gods fell silent, clearing a path in the mural.

Heaven Opening walked to the forefront, eyes sharp and seemingly real, fixating on Xia Feng.
