Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 639 - 635: The Life Staff Overpowers Morris

Xia Feng could only see the vines growing increasingly vivid and seemingly alive, spreading all around. In the blink of an eye, they turned the deathly hand into a tender green.

And judging by the expression on the Great Monarch Morris’s face, this move had a significant impact on him, at least more so than when Xia Feng invoked the Star Power.

The flames in Morris’s skeletal eye sockets flickered and changed colors, occasionally expanding and contracting, seemingly wary of those green vines.

If one could get close to Morris, they would hear the constant murmuring inside his skull.

"How is this possible? Can a mere Life Staff at the True God Realm achieve such a feat?"

"If the Life Divine Domain is full of such people, how much would it cost the invading Fallen Angels to conquer the entire Life Divine Domain?"

Xia Feng watched as Xiao Qingxue restrained Morris’s deathly hand, seizing the opportunity to find a gap and begin invoking the stars above, intending to use the Star Power to completely eliminate Morris.

He also noticed that Xiao Qingxue’s cultivation could only hold Morris at bay; a decisive victory over him would still be difficult.

However, it wasn’t just her here; there were also many women and Xia Feng himself providing support nearby. They would eventually find a chance to decisively eliminate the Death God in front of them.

Xia Feng was also curious about Morris’s earlier words regarding his heritage and the original controller of these Star Powers; Xia Feng wished to glean some intel from him.

The opposite Morris also sensed Xia Feng’s invocation of the Star Power, and the fire in his eye sockets shrank to almost imperceptibility.

"Boy, what are you trying to do?"

"Invoking the Star Power at this time, do you wish to utterly destroy this Secret Realm?"

Xia Feng paused but didn’t answer, instead directly applying the Star Power onto himself, launching straight at Morris like a cannonball.

Whether it was Xia Feng’s illusion or not, he seemed to feel that for a moment, Morris sighed slightly in relief as he moved.

Unperturbed, Xia Feng crashed straight into him, sending Morris stumbling back several steps.

The skeletal structure on him visibly dimmed, losing the previously jade-like luster.

Xia Feng pursued his advantage, ramming several more times, causing cracks to appear on the skeleton’s bones.

Morris’s expression turned to anger, and as he turned to Xia Feng, a surge of murderous intent hit him head-on, forcing Xia Feng to back away two steps.

Just as Morris was about to strike Xia Feng, Xiao Qingxue beside him snorted coldly, intensifying the infusement of Divine Power into the Life Staff.

Instantly, the land was filled with vibrant green.

Around theradius of three miles, green Life Energy spread across the ground, gathering into Xiao Qingxue’s body like fireflies, which then blossomed into more green vines, binding Morris’s half a body along with the deathly hand.

Morris, enraged, kept burning his deathly aura, but he couldn’t break the vines binding him.

In fact, as he struggled, the thorns on the vines dug deeper, converting the energy of death into fuel for the vines, tightening their hold.

The more he struggled, the more Morris fell victim to the vines, unable to break free, being slowly engulfed by them.

With Xia Feng constantly seeking opportunities to attack Morris, absent of deathly barrier, the Star Power added an extra burden on him, with each impact dimming the flames in his eye sockets.

In the end, he was entwined in vines like a cocoon, completely unable to move.

Xia Feng halted his attack, approached Morris, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Who was the other person you mentioned who used Star Power?"

"What did you do to him?"

The faint flame in Morris’s eye sockets flickered for a moment before he burst into laughter, his jaw clattering, producing a clackety-clack sound that made Xia Feng worry if he would laugh his head off.

Xia Feng impatiently urged, "What’s so funny? You’re on the brink of death, and yet you still find the heart to laugh?"

Morris laughed clackety-clack for a while longer before speaking hoarsely, "Give it up, I won’t disclose anything about those old folks to you."

"As for the death you mentioned..."

"I was originally in the state of death anyway; even if you destroy me, as one of the Thirty-Six Great Monarchs, I will simply reawaken in the Netherworld."

"You cannot completely destroy me, and my companions should have already fully descended into this Secret Realm through various Gates of Death."

He turned to Xia Feng, and although he was merely a skull, Xia Feng saw malevolence on it.

"I’m curious to see how many grand displays you can conjure, how many Great Monarchs you can defy with your capabilities!"

"The Demon and Nether Real realms will ultimately seize the entire Secret Realm, and all the Celestial Pills will be ours."

"And you pathetic little creatures will be in agony, despairing while waiting for death, as I await your arrival in hell."

Having said that, he waited for Xia Feng’s next strike, anticipating his return to the embrace of the Netherworld.

Xia Feng attempted to continue pressing for information about the Star Power, but Morris refused to cooperate, leaving Xia Feng no choice.

Add to his claim that many Great Monarchs have arrived, Xia Feng felt an inexplicable urgency, concern for the Secret Realm engulfing his heart.

Xiao Qingxue noticed Xia Feng’s expression and couldn’t help but say, "Husband, don’t worry, I have means to deal with him."

The Life Staff in her hand began absorbing the surrounding green; the tiny spots like fireflies of Life Power were drawn into the Life Staff, blooming a white flower at its top.

The rich floral scent quickly filled the entire space, making Xia Feng and the women noticeably more relaxed upon inhaling it, the fatigue from the previous battle instantly soothed.

But Morris, all tied up, flailed like a fish out of water, desperately trying to get away from the flower.
