Chapter 593: Chapter 589: Splitting into Two Teams, the Trial Begins

When Xia Feng arrived at the gathering place early the next day, the prodigies from the Ten Great Divine Domains subconsciously averted their gazes, fearing he might find another excuse to give them a beating.

Don’t think they didn’t know. Many challengers had actually gotten cold feet yesterday, but were coerced back into the challenger’s role by Xia Feng’s compelling words and were forced to take a beating from him.

Some of those people had pursued the Divine Maiden, or had made lewd jokes when they first saw the ten Divine Maidens gathering around Xia Feng.

It was clear Xia Feng was using this as an opportunity for his personal vendettas. Since he had the ability to do so, naturally no one dared to say much about it.

But that didn’t mean these people wanted to get beaten up for no reason. Evading this powerful lunatic was the best course of action if they could.

So, until the Celestial Pill Divine King came out and announced the start of the competition, everyone stood quietly in their own camps without daring to utter a word about Xia Feng’s presence.

The Yu Race glared at Xia Feng with resentment, but didn’t dare make it too obvious, for fear that Xia Feng would notice and take them all out.

Xia Feng glanced over briefly, then quickly shifted his gaze to the Celestial Pill Divine King standing at the highest point.

The king also looked in Xia Feng’s direction, with a hint of satisfaction and appreciation. It seemed like among those Divine Kings observing their "challenge" yesterday, his gaze must have been among them as well.

As soon as the "competition officially began," the surrounding groups spontaneously divided into two teams. Some prodigies who hadn’t chosen a direction yet occasionally cast their glances at Xia Feng, seemingly wanting to see which path he would choose.

After all, the invasion points of the Demon Race and Nether Race were in different directions; if they chose Death Canyon, they wouldn’t have time to reach Demon Abyss.

Xia Feng didn’t hesitate, choosing to head towards the direction of the Demon Abyss.

He had seen the Sword Demon in the Celestial Sword Secret Realm—it was something tainted by Demonic Qi. Plus, Xia Feng had once refined the Celestial God Demon Heart in his own body, using its Demonic Qi to forge his own Celestial Demon Body.

So, Xia Feng was more familiar with the Demon Race, making it easier to deal with them. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Watching Xia Feng choose his destination, the remaining undecided individuals quickly made their decisions and stood in different places.

The Celestial Pill Divine King’s gaze carried a hint of worry as he looked at Sun Yazhu who was following Xia Feng, and silently sent a voice transmission to Xia Feng: "Although this is just a trial, no one knows what might happen in the future."

"The Demon Abyss is quite far from here. If something really happens, I fear I won’t be able to help in time. I’m entrusting Zhu Girl to you, make sure to bring her back intact. If there’s a problem, I’ll hold you accountable."

Xia Feng’s lips curved slightly. He turned to Sun Yang, nodding slightly in agreement with the request.

After all, the women were his wives, and it was his duty to protect them.

The Celestial Pill Divine Domain was generous, sending two Ninth Grade Main Gods to lead the two groups towards their respective directions, to ensure the safety of these prodigies.

Xia Feng didn’t care as much, as he had once killed ten Main Gods in the Lower Realm; protection was not a problem for him.

However, the prodigies from other Divine Domains behind him exchanged glances, their expressions growing more meaningful, seemingly trying to incite this Main God to target Xia Feng.

Shortly after everyone took flight, Zhao Ming, a prodigy from the Purple Thunder Divine Domain, deliberately approached the leading Ninth Grade Main God, Sun Zhao, casually instigating Xia Feng’s situation.

"Lord Main God, do you know who that kid hanging around Yazhu Goddess is?"

Sun Zhao glanced at Xia Feng, then quietly looked away: "I’ve heard about him a few times before, he’s Yazhu Goddess’s partner from the Lower Realm."

Zhao Ming’s expression shifted several times before adopting an indignant look: "Is that so?"

"But now so many Divine Maidens are gathered around that kid, isn’t he disregarding Yazhu Goddess’s dignity?"

Sun Zhao instantly understood this kid’s attempt to stir trouble, even wanting him to take the lead.

Thinking of this, his expression turned slightly frigid: "The few ladies in the Lower Realm are his wives, and Yazhu Goddess is at least the main wife."

"Instead of trying to provoke me, you might want to check on what your Purple Thunder Divine Domain’s Divine Maiden Yuwei is doing."

Finished speaking, he sped up significantly, seemingly wanting to completely get rid of this noisy person.

Zhao Ming’s face darkened a bit, but when he turned his gaze to Xia Feng, it was filled with apprehension.

Even the Main God didn’t want to involve himself too much in these matters; clearly, this kid wasn’t just someone from the Lower Realm, he definitely had a hidden identity that even the Ten Great Divine Kings couldn’t act against.

Realizing this, Zhao Ming instinctively distanced himself from Xia Feng, fearing that his earlier instigations had been overheard.

In truth, Xia Feng had heard everything, he just couldn’t be bothered dealing with the kid. Rather than worrying about these trivial things, Xia Feng was more inclined to take out the Spirit Light Flying Boat and directly fly to the Demon Abyss.

However, with many prodigies around, Xia Feng hesitated to bring everyone on board.

In the end, it was Sun Yazhu who tugged on Xia Feng’s sleeve, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Xia Feng couldn’t help but sigh, flying next to Sun Zhao to quietly inquire about the specific direction of the Demon Abyss.

"Lord Main God, I have a tool for traversing realms that can speed up our journey to the Demon Abyss. If the distance to the Demon Abyss is still very far, why not let the prodigies board my flying boat?"

Sun Zhao originally didn’t want to interact much with Xia Feng, but he couldn’t ignore what Xia Feng said.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Sun Yazhu standing behind Xia Feng: "Yazhu Goddess, have you introduced this prodigy to the situation in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain?"

"The space barriers in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain are rather thick. Ordinary flying boats can’t traverse here, even better ones might not differ much from our own flying speed. So it’s better..."

Before Sun Zhao could finish his sentence, Xia Feng had already taken out the Spirit Light Flying Boat from the Storage Ring.

A streak of pitch-black Power of Space was injected into the Spirit Light Flying Boat, and it suddenly expanded hundreds of times, revealing its original form.

Sun Zhao’s remaining words were caught in his throat, as he awkwardly shifted the topic: "An ancient Divine Artifact?"

His expression was a bit peculiar, seemingly amazed: "I can understand you having ancient Divine Artifacts related to Celestial Sword and Sound Dao, even accepting you owning Divine Armor."

"But how do you even have an ancient Divine Artifact specifically for realm traversal?"
