Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 624 - 620: Withstanding the Godslaying Array

Xia Feng felt the white mist before him gradually disperse, only to seep into his body like a bone-eroding poison, beginning to erode the Divine Power within him.

The Infinite Divine Armor automatically manifested around him, but it couldn’t resist this strange phenomenon that was draining his Divine Power.

Xia Feng frowned slightly. He wasn’t worried about his Divine Power being completely depleted, but the situation of having an unseen enemy made him somewhat uncomfortable.

With only a moment’s hesitation, Xia Feng decided to use the strongest means to solve this Ancient Divine Array.

It was well known that even Ancient Divine Arrays etched on the ground, fixed in place, had their own limits in running and absorbing the surrounding Divine Power.

Once the conflict within the Ancient Divine Array exceeded the array’s load limit, it could be destroyed even without locating its focal point.

Just to be sure, Xia Feng specifically investigated whether his eroded Divine Power was being funneled into the ancient array to become its new power source.

Once he had researched and basically understood it, the Divine Fire Platform within Xia Feng began to ignite one after another.

A world-shaking aura of the Great Dao spread from Xia Feng, directly sweeping away the remaining white mist that hadn’t fully dissipated.

After the white mist cleared, much of the binding force within the array vanished. Not far away, Zhang Baiyu looked at Xia Feng with nothing but shock and disbelief in his eyes.

"How is this possible? Your Sword Dao, Ice Dao, and Sound Dao are already so formidable, how could you be so proficient in Array Talismans as well?"

"Did the Celestial Talisman Goddess impart the Celestial Talisman Secret Technique to you, allowing you to quickly find the weak point of the Ancient Divine Array?"

Zhang Baiyu had only a superficial understanding of the Ancient Divine Array and had no idea what Xia Feng did to make the white mist disappear, mistakenly thinking Xia Feng had found a clue to break the array.

Xia Feng glanced at Zhang Baiyu not far away, contemplating dealing with him, but the binding force from the Ancient Divine Array made him abandon this enticing thought.

Ten Divine Fire Platforms began to burn furiously. Various types of Divine Power began gathering around Xia Feng, ultimately concentrating into a thick, multicolored mist. Even staying close to Xia Feng felt painfully oppressive.

Initially confused, Zhang Baiyu retreated several steps.

Upon realizing what Xia Feng was attempting, disbelief and mockery appeared on his face, "Are you foolish enough to think Divine Power can break through the Array Talisman?"

"It’s laughable that you lack even the basic knowledge of Array Talismans."

Seeing Xia Feng continuing to gather Divine Power as if he hadn’t heard him, Zhang Baiyu felt a sense of unease, suspecting something was amiss.

With a wary and intense gaze, he said, "Stop wasting your efforts. You can’t possibly break through the Array Talisman. This is an Ancient Divine Array, not some ordinary formation."

"The Godslaying Array has no focal point or means of control. Once it activates, it won’t rest until it kills every being trapped inside."

Xia Feng paused in his actions, then looked at the timid yet aggressive Zhang Baiyu with a half-smile, his gaze stopping briefly on his severed hand.

"I’m the one trapped by the array, so why are you panicking?"

"Or are you afraid I might actually break free?"

He surveyed the array around him and confidently added, "I bet you haven’t mentioned everything. If you want the Godslaying Array to stop, depleting the energy from its base would work, right?"

Having said that, Xia Feng disregarded Zhang Baiyu’s expressions and continued gathering Divine Power.

In the Secret Realm, the Divine Power between heaven and earth was drawn straight into Xia Feng’s body, forming a vortex like a dragon’s whirlwind that voraciously absorbed the surrounding Divine Power.

Startled by the celestial phenomenon, Zhang Baiyu retreated a few steps again, a vague sense of unease urging him to flee.

Yet the unwillingness in his mind made him doubt Xia Feng could drain the energy from the array base and escape alive. After all, when setting this array, he had borrowed the Divine Power of over a hundred Celestial Talisman prodigies. How could Xia Feng alone contend with this array base?

Torn between two choices, Zhang Baiyu simply halted at a safe spot in the Ancient Divine Array, scrutinizing Xia Feng, seemingly curious about what methods he’d use.

The celestial phenomenon lasted for ages, seemingly battling the energy at the array base within the Ancient Divine Array.

Xia Feng became the intermediary between the two, and instead found himself idle, glancing around as if there were nothing more to do.

Watching Xia Feng’s demeanor, Zhang Baiyu ground his teeth in anger. "Kid, you have time to wander, but you better think about what will happen when the Godslaying Array’s backlash hits."

Xia Feng’s expression grew more relaxed, infuriating Zhang Baiyu.

The surrounding energy clashed continuously, and seeing Xia Feng’s waning Divine Power, Zhang Baiyu’s arrogance intensified.

"Kid, no matter how you struggle, you can’t escape. This is the foundation of our Wuji Sect. If it were so easily broken by you, where would our Wuji Sect’s reputation stand?"

Xia Feng smirked, "Oh? In that case, I’ll trample your sect’s reputation underfoot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Power around him surged even more fiercely, and Star Power beside the Divine Fire Platform began gathering, subtly drawing layers of Star Power from above.

The Star Power, accumulated on Xia Feng, seemed to ignite his Divine Power like pouring oil into fire, causing it to boil instantly.

Zhang Baiyu’s face turned pale, his lips trembling slightly, "How is this possible? Who is this guy, that even an Ancient Divine Array can’t trouble him?"

The Godslaying Array at this point began to tremble faintly, with the stones in the valley quaking continuously, as if about to be flung away any second.

Seeing things go wrong, Zhang Baiyu prepared to escape, but the Godslaying Array seemed out of control, trapping him within, leaving no room for retreat.

Frantically, he pulled out various escape items from his Storage Ring, trying to escape the predicament.

However, no matter what item he shattered or method he used, he couldn’t move an inch. In desperation, he even considered abandoning another body part to use the Escape Technique.

Yet the thought was immediately suppressed, as using the Escape Technique repeatedly in a short time was too taxing.

He had only lost a hand now, but could still have it reattached later. If he lost a larger body part, even a hidden sect could hardly restore him to his original state.
