Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 324 - 320: The Unnamed Existence

At this thought, the aura around Xia Feng instantly transformed into Star Power.

The white mist in the mid-air of the surroundings seemed to thin considerably, as traces of Star Power flowed into his body.

The fatigue from the recent battle with the Resentful Beast seemed to vanish in an instant.

At the same time, the boost from the Star Power vaguely allowed Xia Feng to see through the white mist in the air.

Behind the Ancient Divine Hall, in the core location even further away, something colossal seemed to exist.

Xia Feng also clearly felt that the presence noticed him, even appearing quite amused.

That feeling of being watched sent a chill down Xia Feng’s spine for a moment.

He completely ignored the Ancient Divine Hall that was within reach, and swiftly flickered out towards the outskirts of God Burial Valley, moving so swiftly that afterimages almost formed.

That kind of presence was something he could not contend with at this moment.

Although Xia Feng did not sense any malice from that unknown presence, he wouldn’t wager his life on such matters.

What if that existence turned hostile or became interested all of a sudden?

Faced with such a presence, Xia Feng had no resistance whatsoever.

Though the items in God Burial Valley were good, even if Divine Artifacts were everywhere, one needed to have the life to enjoy them.

Just as he reached the edge of the white mist, about to escape, he heard a soul-penetrating call. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Xia Feng had never heard such a sound before, deeper than a whale’s cry and more resonant than a phoenix’s screech.

If he had to say, Xia Feng thought probably only a legendary dragon could produce such a call.

Just hearing it once made Xia Feng feel as if his soul had been cleansed.

His entire body floated as if wrapped in the most concentrated Healing Divine Power, making him feel like he was in the clouds.

Though his body intoxicated and slightly out of control, Xia Feng’s consciousness was on the verge of screaming.

Just a single call brought him such great benefits, but he dared not linger, frantically wanting to rush out.

But sadly, the boundary of the white mist lay before him, yet he couldn’t take that step forward, suspended there.

Suddenly, the call stopped, and Xia Feng’s body seemed to regain control.

His face lit up with joy, and he madly dashed outward, only to crash heavily into the door of the Ancient Divine Hall with a "bang."

Feeling the raised patterns under his palm, the joy on his face froze once again.

Xia Feng now roughly understood that the core presence seemed to want him to enter this Ancient Divine Hall.

In his Dream Body state, he vaguely saw this Ancient Divine Hall before; inside were indeed many treasures, but also many Resentful Beasts.

He believed the core presence didn’t intend for him to die, but wanted him to partake in a trial inside.

If it truly wanted him dead, a simple breath from that presence could kill Xia Feng ten times over.

He didn’t know what level that being was, but by his estimation, it certainly surpassed the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God.

Was there a realm beyond Martial God?

Xia Feng quickly reined in his wandering thoughts, fixing his gaze on the door before him.

He came here to hunt for treasures, and since the presence also wished for his entry, he might as well go with the flow.

Thinking this, Star Power surged from Xia Feng again, enveloping his body, and he slowly pushed open the door.

The door was heavy, and Xia Feng nearly exhausted all his strength just to push it ajar.

The muscles on his shoulder bulged, entwined with several strands of the Great Dao, as if any lesser force couldn’t budge the door.

More mist gathered in the air, and Xia Feng vaguely realized that the white mist seemed to move with the unknown presence.

It was evidently watching him now, and he dared not slack, unleashing ten strands of the Great Dao, mixed with thick Star Power, to gradually push open the door to the Ancient Divine Hall fully.

After opening it, clarity dawned on him.

It wasn’t that the door was particularly hard to open; rather, it was restricted in a way that required the opener to exert full strength.

It was a gauge of his fundamental strength, causing a slight stir in his heart.

Peering into the interior, the Resentful Beasts were already daunting enough, but now the trial would be adjusted to his strength, making it even more challenging?

The mist in the air thickened, even mingling around Xia Feng.

The white mist evenly sprayed onto the Ancient Divine Hall, causing Xia Feng’s movements to become slightly more cautious, not knowing what the presence intended.

He stood still, not daring to move, quietly feeling the mist around him grow thicker.

Perhaps it was a trick of his mind, but the pressure energy emanating from the hall’s Resentful Beasts seemed to lessen significantly.

Then, the Qingxue Sword he held gave a clear ring, as if struck by someone.

Without communication with the presence, Xia Feng didn’t know its meaning; he could only guess.

"Are you suggesting that I should not use the Qingxue Sword in this trial?"

The white mist suddenly became denser, as if the presence inside was eager to convey something.

Xia Feng paused, seemingly realizing he’d misunderstood: "Do you mean I should use the Qingxue Sword for this trial?"

He puzzled further: "Can I still use the Void Cauldron and Spirit Light Flying Boat?"

The mist swirled back and forth, prompting Xia Feng to let out a slight sigh.

The presence had lowered the trial difficulty of the Ancient Divine Hall, yet imposed a restriction.

Upon hearing he couldn’t use the Divine Artifact, Xia Feng’s heart indeed skipped a beat, for even with the reduced difficulty by the unknown presence, he felt some apprehension.

Immediately, he began reflecting on himself.

He had relied a bit too much on Divine Artifacts recently.

Compared to such external forces, his own Great Dao and abilities were more trustworthy.

Xia Feng steadied his resolve, tightening his grip on the Qingxue Sword.

This sword was Li Qingxue’s dowry, being an advancing Spiritual Artifact, and had resources poured onto it over the years.

Now, it barely reached the level of a Pseudo Divine Artifact, and any further investment was simply infeasible.

Alongside the Qingxue Sword, there were his earliest-learned Celestial Derivation Sword techniques and other skills that had been set aside.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Feng respectfully bowed to the white mist: "Thank you for your guidance, I will now proceed."

With that, he clasped the Qingxue Sword tightly and stepped into the hall.

The white mist rapidly withdrew like a receding tide, revealing the hall’s original appearance, a movement which caused Xia Feng a slight unease.

Suppressing his anxiety, he ventured deeper into the hall.
