Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 656 - 652: Sealing the Netherworld King, Capturing the Fallen Angel Alive

The Netherworld King was utterly baffled, but Xia Feng paid no attention to his plight and continued to fiercely wield the Power of Life, savagely burning him, then wildly stripping away the Death Qi, converting it into power he could use.

The battle between the lone warrior and the Netherworld King grew increasingly intense, as if neither could completely defeat the other.

The Netherworld King snorted coldly, "If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. Once the Fallen Angels deal with those nuisances, we’ll see if you can handle both of us simultaneously."

"Once you’re defeated, I’ll perform a Soul Search to find out what you were up to earlier, and these questions will be immediately answered."

The Soul Fire flickered in his skeletal eye sockets, seemingly with some excitement.

Xia Feng must be hiding a secret, he thought he would be the first to discover it, and perhaps even learn the Secret Technique for a breakthrough.

Xia Feng frowned slightly, and his anxiety about the ladies reached an apex.

After all, the ladies were merely Main Gods, and resisting the Fallen Angels was a struggle. They could hold on for a while, but prolonged resistance offered little hope for counterattack. Only by dealing with the Netherworld King could victory be secured.

Xia Feng took a deep breath, and the Star Power on his body began to ripple, causing the stars above the sky to twinkle.

The Soul Fire in the Netherworld King’s eye sockets shrank to the smallest in an instant, as if struck by fright.

"Star Power? How can anyone in this world know about this power, let alone wield it?"

He was at a loss, unable to even properly control the surrounding Death Qi. Xia Feng vaguely sensed that the king seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, seeking only to escape from this world upon seeing the Star Power.

Xia Feng didn’t understand why but wouldn’t miss this opportunity. He advanced with the Heaven-Burying Sword, slashing wildly at the Netherworld King.

Unaware of the remaining locations of the two Soul Crystals, Xia Feng could only try to shatter the entire Netherworld King, leaving no chance for revival.

The Heaven-Burying Sword, infused with Star Power, was more potent for the Netherworld King than even the Power of Life. It was like pouring strong acid onto bones, continuously corroding his skeletal form.

The Netherworld King howled madly, "Impossible! This can’t be real!"

"Fallen Angels, Sibyl, save me!"

His cries received no response; the Fallen Angels were held tightly by the women, willing to suffer injury to ensure the Fallen Angels couldn’t distract Xia Feng.

The Netherworld King’s cries grew weaker, and when only his skull remained, Xia Feng sealed him and buried all the shattered bones in a secluded part of the Dream Realm Pearl.

Then Xia Feng turned his blazing gaze to the Fallen Angel Sibyl.

The Fallen Angel trembled, seeing his comrade eliminated and not knowing the whereabouts of the Celestial Pill. His Demonic Qi trembled in fear that Xia Feng would strike him down as well.

His mind sought to flee the battlefield, even though dying would only result in resurrection in the Demon Realm or Netherworld. No one wished to face a decline in Realm.

Thus, when Xia Feng rushed forward, the Fallen Angel used his slender black fingers to tear the Void, attempting to hide within it.

Previously, Xia Feng hadn’t sensed their presence because they’d been hidden in the Void, eluding his detection.

But now, as the Fallen Angel tried to hide in the Void before Xia Feng’s eyes, Xia Feng wasn’t about to let that happen.

Dark light flashed over Xia Feng’s body as he sealed the space with his Power of Space.

The Void, easily rent before, became solid, preventing the Netherworld King from escaping.

As a precaution, Xia Feng wrapped the Space with a layer of Power of Time, causing the Fallen Angel to feel time speed up whenever he touched it.

When his body and wings began to age, covered in wrinkles, he realized something was wrong with the space around him.

His teeth began to chatter, and he pleaded, "Don’t kill me. I... I just followed the Netherworld King’s orders to seize the Celestial Pill. I didn’t harm any of you, don’t kill me."

"If you spare me, I can betray the Demon Realm, I can serve you."

At first, he was merely speaking without thought, seeking a way to live, but as he continued, his eyes lit up, seemingly finding hope for survival.

"Keep me, leave me as your spy. I’ll return and relay information about the Demon Realm to you, so you’ll know their plans."

"I’m useful, please don’t kill me!"

The Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand shone with dense Star Power, and having already captured one Netherworld King, he believed he could extract the needed information from him.

Yet the Fallen Angel’s words tempted him, causing a moment’s hesitation.

Grasping the Fallen Angel’s throat, he squinted and asked, "How can I know if what you’re saying is true?"

The Fallen Angel immediately replied, "I can swear by my Heart Demon. If I’m lying, I’ll be entirely consumed by it."

Xia Feng’s grip loosened a little, and his expression softened slightly.

Squinting, he continued, "What’s the Demon and Netherworld Races’ true goal with their commotion this time?"

The Fallen Angel hurried to explain, "We’re here solely for the Celestial Pills; we’re the leaders of this operation."

"With Celestial Pills, we could gain another Fallen Angel or Netherworld King, which is vital for our future plans."

Xia Feng’s brow furrowed, "What plans?"

The Fallen Angel hesitated, and Xia Feng tightened his grip on his throat, prompting him to quickly disclose, "The Demon and Nether Races plan to invade the Divine Domain on a full scale."

"Once we capture the Divine Domain, we’ll open passages straight to the Lower Realm."

Xia Feng’s frown deepened, "What’s your aim in the Lower Realm?"

The Fallen Angel’s gaze flickered, his eyes trembled. Xia Feng shot him a fierce glance. After much deliberation, he spoke.

"I can’t reveal the exact reason because of our Heart Demon oath. Speaking the unspeakable results in total destruction of the Divine Soul."

"All I can say is the Divine Domain is merely a way station; what the Demon and Nether Races truly desire is on the Celestial Essence Continent."
