Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 406 - 402: Second Trial Concludes

"I don’t know if it’s because I provoked the illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch before."

"By the last ten tiers, even with the Gale Boots on Xia Feng’s feet, he felt like he could barely move an inch."

"He struggled to lift his leg, and then, like Dongfang Qingcang below, he couldn’t step up no matter what."

"He took a deep breath and, for the first time, began to wield the Great Dao around him."

"Holding the Heaven-Burying Sword, the first to merge with him naturally was the Great Dao of Celestial Sword."

"A streak of soaring Sword Qi rose from him, propelling him with irresistible force straight to the ninety-first tier."

"But once on the ninety-first tier, the Great Dao of Celestial Sword within him could no longer be retracted."

"He could feel that if he withdrew the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, he would immediately be toppled down by the pressure of the Wuji Divine Monarch." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"At that point, how many tiers he would fall was beyond Xia Feng’s control."

"So for the next period, everyone below stopped their actions, looking up with astonishment at Xia Feng, who was about to reach the summit."

"More Great Dao continuously emerged from his body, serving as the thrust to push him onto higher steps."

"Every time he climbed a tier, he had to stop and rest for quite a while to recover, and then more new Great Dao would emerge from his body to assist him in continuing upward."

"Ximen Chun’s lips trembled slightly, not knowing whether he was speaking with someone or just trying to calm himself down with speaking due to being utterly shocked."

"’Isn’t this already the tenth Great Dao?’

"’And they’re all top-level Great Dao of the Ten Great Divine Domains. Who is he really?’

"’Where exactly did this monster emerge from?’

"’Why have we never heard his name before, even in legends?’"

"Not only Ximen Chun, but even Tang Yunqi’s expression carried undeniable surprise."

"Within the Ten Great Divine Domains, there’s no such formidable existence, not even in those ancient families."

"So Tang Yunqi was even more curious about where Xia Feng had suddenly emerged from."

"Among everyone, only Dongfang Qingcang’s face looked extremely sour."

"He knew the truth."

"Xia Feng was not someone from the Ten Great Divine Domains, nor someone from ancient families."

"He was merely a bastard from the Lower Realm. How could he possibly cultivate so many Great Dao in the Lower Realm?"

"And looking at him, he seemed to have mastered every Great Dao profoundly."

"The most important thing was, this wretch was only in his twenties, which was simply impossible."

"And the one deemed impossible, Xia Feng, was now standing on the ninety-seventh tier."

"The Divine Power within his body was burning wildly, while the ten Great Dao on the Divine Fire Platform were frantically producing new Divine Power to support his body, preventing him from accidentally falling off the high platform."

"Now only two steps remained."

"The Great Dao of Space within him was converging wildly, attempting to hold up his body to let him advance to the ninety-eighth tier."

"But it was too difficult. The illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch so close by seemed to move, leaning much closer towards him."

"Xia Feng felt the pressure on him become a few degrees heavier, yet he could also sense the illusion’s curiosity towards him."

"Tiny sparks of Star Power began to flicker from midair, then converged into Xia Feng’s body."

"Star Power truly lived up to being a higher level of energy than the rules of the Great Dao, directly pushing Xia Feng onto the ninety-eighth tier, and even with that force, he set his foot on the ninety-ninth."

"But the remaining force was insufficient to support his entry into the ninety-ninth tier."

"Moreover, Xia Feng had exhausted all his abilities, with nothing left to empower him."

"His face was slightly red from exertion, as if trying to struggle into the ninety-ninth tier."

"Otherwise, his Divine Power would not sustain him until the end of the three-day assessment, and he would eventually be toppled from the ninety-ninth tier by the illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch."

"He had struggled for so long not to be second."

"Xia Feng’s expression became even more ferocious."

"Amid the prayers and blessings of Xia Tianming and Tang Yunqi, and the curses of the disciples of the Four Great Clans like Dongfang Qingcang, an indescribable energy emanated from Xia Feng’s body."

"He had broken through."

"Xia Feng himself did not expect that in his attempt to reach the ninety-ninth tier, he would accidentally put too much strength and breakthrough to the Profound Tier Eighth Layer Martial God."

"At the very moment he broke through, a mysterious energy seemed to emerge within his body, directly pushing him onto the ninety-ninth tier."

"The pressure here was evidently heavier, causing Xia Feng to almost suffocate, nearly kneeling on the ninety-ninth tier, right before the illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch."

"But he thrust the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand fiercely into the ground, using the Ancient Divine Artifact as a crutch to keep himself from kneeling."

"Even the energy in his body straightened his bent waist bit by bit."

"After quite some time, the illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch finally withdrew his gaze from Xia Feng, along with a considerable amount of pressure."

"’The second trial is over, all those below the top ten, exit the Secret Realm.’"

"As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of white light emitted from the cultivators below the forty-ninth tier, and then they disappeared from the Secret Realm."

"Only Xia Feng, Dongfang Qingcang, Xia Tianming, and Tang Yunqi remained above the forty-ninth tier."

"There were still eight people left on the forty-ninth tier."

"Dongfang Qingcang hadn’t had time to wonder why there were eight people when he saw Beiming Ye suddenly leap forward, seemingly trying to suppress Tang Yunqi."

"This action startled Xia Tianming, who did not understand why someone who had been pretending to compete with Tang Yunqi suddenly got serious."

"Then Beiming Ye and Tang Yunqi’s palms met briefly, and suddenly, a white light appeared on Beiming Ye’s body, and he disappeared from the Secret Realm."

"Xia Tianming found it strange, turning to look at Tang Yunqi again, noticing a Plum Blossom Brand on the back of his hand, with the number changed to Beiming Ye’s just earlier."

"Now, only ten people remained in the entire space, the final ten to receive the inheritance trial."

"Suddenly a voice appeared in Xia Feng’s ear, identical to the one of the Wuji Divine Monarch’s illusion when it narrated the rules."

"’Kid, you’re doing great; keep up the effort for the coming trials.’"

"Xia Feng’s body stiffened, instinctively looking down, discovering that none of them had any changes in expression, evidently not hearing that sentence from the illusion of the Wuji Divine Monarch."

"Otherwise, with Dongfang Qingcang’s personality, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain his composure."
