Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 635 - 631: The Gate of Death Emerges

A stone archway slowly emerged, adorned with ancient and mysterious patterns that made anyone feel deeply uneasy at first glance.

Xia Feng teleported in front of the stone gate, holding the Heaven-Burying Sword vigilantly, ready to strike first no matter what might emerge once the door opened.

Among the group of women behind him, Xiao Qingxue’s face was deathly pale, and the nearby Li Qingxue asked worriedly, "Qingxue, I noticed your face looked rather unwell just now, are you exhausted from the prolonged battle?"

Xia Feng also turned back, looking over with concern, and saw unmistakable fear in Xiao Qingxue’s eyes.

Xia Feng was taken aback; the surrounding miasma had been completely dispelled by him, so why did Xiao Qingxue feel fear?

He looked at the stone gate, then at Xiao Qingxue, and his expression became cautious as well: "Qingxue, have you seen this stone gate somewhere before?"

Xiao Qingxue felt a tightness in her throat; the explanation was stuck there, unable to come out no matter what.

Beside her, Sun Yazhu noticed her tension, stepped forward to support her arm, and spoke gently, "Don’t worry, your husband and we are all here, just tell us whatever you know."

"No matter what, we have a way to leave. If you say it in advance, we can avoid certain risks."

Grasping Sun Yazhu’s wrist as if it were a lifeline, Xiao Qingxue squeezed so hard that Sun Yazhu winced slightly in pain, then quickly relaxed.

Xiao Qingxue finally spoke in a dry voice, "This thing is called the Gate of Death. When the Netherworld fully opened the passage between the two realms, this stone gate appeared too."

"This thing signifies that the Netherworld has already set its sights on this place and is about to launch a massive attack through the realm passage."

The expressions of the women around turned solemn. The entire Celestial Pill Secret Realm was already in chaos, filled with talented individuals turned into Resentful Beasts and Pill Beasts running amok after their energy was drained.

They had thought this was troublesome enough, yet it turned out these were merely distractions created by demons, and the Death God hadn’t even formally engaged.

Even Xia Feng couldn’t help but contemplate, what if the demons and Death God from the Demon Abyss and Death Canyon were replaced by thinking High-Level Demon and Nether Races?

The sheer number of enemies would make it difficult for Xia Feng to ensure his own survival without using the Dream Realm Pearl.

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand suddenly flared with brilliance, and he coldly remarked while staring at the Gate of Death in front of him, "Since this thing has appeared, the Death God must be watching the situation here."

"I’ll try to destroy this stone gate. If we can break this passage, even the Death God will have a harder time coming through."

"We’ll temporarily suppress this and then consider the situation in the Demon Realm."

Xiao Qingxue pursed her lips uncertainly and said, "My mother once tried to forcibly destroy the Gate of Death, but the ancient patterns on it seem to be a kind of Energy Array Talisman. She used a lot of effort but couldn’t destroy it."

As her words fell, a sinister laugh echoed from the Gate of Death.

"So, there’s still someone knowledgeable among you. You’re not entirely worthless~"

Xia Feng was startled; the voice seemed familiar, like the demon that had been dissolved by Xia Feng’s Star Power before.

Blue flames continuously burned on the Gate of Death, and then a dark silhouette emerged from it.

The figure was somewhat ethereal, in an indeterminate state, looking at Xia Feng with both apprehension and a hint of mockery in its gaze.

Xia Feng’s expression carried a hint of surprise, "You’re not dead?"

"No, you’ve... already died?"

The demon’s state was extremely peculiar; Xia Feng distinctly sensed no aura, only the presence of the Gate of Death.

The demon’s expression showed anger, and its gaze seemed to burn like flames when directed at Xia Feng: "I am a noble member of the Demon Race, different from the low-level demons you’ve killed before."

"Resentful Beasts have their own methods to keep reviving, and naturally, we noble Demon Race have even more ways than them."

"Moreover, the Demon and Nether Races are in alliance; even if truly dead, it’s merely a different form of existence."

Despite saying this, the demon’s entire ethereal spirit body never managed to leave the Gate of Death, and Xia Feng vaguely guessed that its entire existence was likely linked to the gate.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips, "They say the Gate of Death cannot be destroyed, but I’m curious and want to give it a try."

As he finished speaking, the Heaven-Burying Sword radiated brilliantly, and a ray of Sword Qi spilled forth from it, leaving a shallow mark on the Gate of Death.

Although Xia Feng’s attack wasn’t his full strength, he did use considerable Divine Power. Seeing only a shallow mark left behind and not even a corner of the stone gate chipped off, he furrowed his brow slightly and then quickly unfolded it again.

A huge gash abruptly appeared on the demon who claimed to be a noble of the Demon Race, as if slashed by Xia Feng’s Sword Qi.

Raising an eyebrow, Xia Feng understood the principle, smiling faintly as he spoke, "You are now in a symbiotic state with the Gate of Death, aren’t you? If I destroy the gate, won’t you cease to exist?"

"Conversely, if I find a way to deal with you, will the Gate of Death disappear as well?"

His smile widened, and Divine Power began to surge within him again, "Demon Race, you should not have appeared just because you were worried."

If this demon had not shown himself, once the Gate of Death fully opened, Xia Feng wouldn’t have been able to find trouble with him even if he had wanted to.

Now, his appearance gave Xia Feng the chance to destroy the Gate of Death.

The demon opposite seemed to understand Xia Feng’s intentions, its expression growing even more panicked, hurriedly speaking, "Don’t strike; let’s discuss this calmly."

"Even when you Divine Race die, there’s a chance to become Nether Race; it’s a cycle of reincarnation, so why must it be a battle to the death?"

"Our Demon and Nether Races bear no malice, only wishing to emerge from the seal and have the right to exist normally, which doesn’t hinder your existence."

His face even bore a flattering smile, "If you agree, I can contact a high-level existence in the Netherworld now and have it turn you into a Nether Race, so you will be an immortal being."

Xia Feng let out a light snort; who would want such an immortality that leaves only a skeleton without life’s perception, like the Nether Race?
