Divine King of Honour Chapter 1795: Divine-level Expert

Into his storage ring went the corpse of the Space Black Demon Spider, a relieved expression surfacing on Xu Nian's face.

The body of this Black Demon Spider made for superb material in artifact refining.

How could a treasure like that be squandered?

Xu Nian then guided Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao straight to the fourth level.

Yet, to the shock of Xu Nian and his companions, the fourth level stood utterly vacant.

This sight left Xu Nian utterly perplexed.

Not just Xu Nian—Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao were equally baffled.

"Master, something’s off here. The fourth level ought to house a Golden Emperor Bear that rarely budges from its position. It wouldn’t just vanish without cause, but now it’s gone," Kuang Shi remarked.

"It’s truly bizarre. The Golden Emperor Bear is notoriously indolent. Absent a compelling motive, it wouldn’t depart so readily," Kong Xiao chimed in.

Xu Nian too sensed the abnormality.

"No worries, let’s push on to the fifth level," Xu Nian declared.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao nodded in agreement.

The trio then ascended directly to the fifth level.

But the fifth level proved equally deserted.

"This is weird—why’s the fifth level empty too? Where on earth have these beasts vanished to?" Kuang Shi wondered aloud.

"The fifth level belongs to nine King Dragons, a band of nine siblings boasting formidable collective power," Kong Xiao explained.

A somber look crossed Xu Nian’s face.

An ominous premonition gripped him.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao shared his unease.

Such an occurrence was virtually unheard of in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison.

"Onward—to the sixth level," Xu Nian commanded.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao assented with nods.

Xu Nian then escorted them to the sixth level.

At last, this floor showed signs of life.

Only three figures occupied it, however.

All three were powerhouses at Demon Emperor Perfection.

Xu Nian noted their unusual true forms.

"Their true forms are Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants—immensely formidable, with bodies of exceptional toughness," Kuang Shi sent via transmission to Xu Nian.

"True enough, their physiques are incredibly robust, rivaling the Dragon Clan’s. They might even outmatch them in raw power," Kong Xiao added.

Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants?

Surprise flickered in Xu Nian’s eyes.

He knew of these legendary beasts.

Though mere ants, these divine creatures possessed staggering strength and defenses.

In the Divine World, most experts steered clear of these communal beings.

The reason? They thrived in massive colonies.

Provoke one, and you’d summon a horde.

Thus, few dared challenge them.

Yet, Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants harbored a weakness: upon maturity, they hit Demon Emperor Peak.

Advancing to Divine-level was a grueling feat.

In any colony, scarce few achieved it.

But those who did saw their bloodlines surge dramatically.

They turned utterly nightmarish then.

The Divine-level marked a pivotal barrier for Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants.

"Kuang Shi, Kong Xiao, what brings you up here? Don’t you realize this isn’t your turf?" demanded the lead Destructive God Ant of the trio.

"Why can’t we be here? Black Element, why are just you three lingering on this level—what happened to everyone else?" Kuang Shi countered.

The three Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants shared knowing looks, before one replied, "That’s no concern of yours. Best turn back now, or we won’t hold back."

Kuang Shi’s brow furrowed deeply.

Kong Xiao sensed the profound wrongness too.

"Master, the sixth level normally teems with Demon Beasts, yet only these three remain today—highly suspicious," Kong Xiao noted.

Xu Nian’s features grew contemplative.

Though uncertain of the full picture, these three appeared to be blocking the passage.

It hinted at a vital mystery on the seventh level.

Xu Yu’s absence pointed to him being there as well.

"Gentlemen, we come in peace—just seeking a certain someone, the Golden Crow Divine Eagle jailed years back," Xu Nian stated.

"Golden Crow Divine Eagle?" The three God Extinguishing Ants froze briefly.

Then their gazes sharpened.

"You’re that Xu Nian?" Black Element inquired.

Xu Nian’s astonishment deepened.

They recognized him?

"You know me?" Xu Nian asked, stunned.

He’d never set foot here before—how did they learn his name?

One conclusion dawned on Xu Nian.

Sikong Wushang.

This scoundrel had likely circulated his details throughout the Divine Prison.

And that boded ill for him.

"Naturally, we recognize you—a human who bears the Supreme True Dragon Bloodline. Kid, your end has arrived," one of the God Extinguishing Ants sneered with icy laughter.

Mocking smirks appeared on the faces of the other two God Extinguishing Ants as well.

Xu Nian’s eyes sharpened, akin to a razor-sharp blade.

Just as he had suspected, Sikong Wushang had reached out to the inmates of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison.

Their aim was undoubtedly to trap him right here.

Little Yu?

Could Little Yu be in peril?

"Does the Heavenly Dragon Divine Mountain host any Dragon Clan powerhouses?" Xu Nian inquired of Kong Xiao and Kuang Shi through transmission.

"Yes, Ao Tian, the mightiest figure in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison, hails from the Dragon Clan," Kong Xiao replied via transmission.

"Ao Tian?" Xu Nian’s gaze grew as piercing as a sword.

Exactly!

"Is Ao Tian immensely powerful? On the level of a Demigod?" Xu Nian pressed.

"Indeed, Ao Tian’s true body is a mutated True Dragon. He awakened the True Dragon Bloodline at an early stage, descending from the formidable Purple Lightning Proud Dragon lineage. His mutation bestowed upon him a fearsome devouring prowess, and his lightning shifted to black, earning him the name Black God Devouring Sky Dragon," Kuang Shi transmitted in response.

"Black God Devouring Sky Dragon? Quite the overbearing title," Xu Nian mused to himself, a grin forming.

Yet a mutated True Dragon?

Clearly, that mutation had amplified his might even more.

"Mutation or not, surely he doesn’t rival a Demigod’s strength?" Xu Nian questioned further.

"Correct, his power is immense yet merely exceeds that of a standard Demon Emperor at Perfection. That said, he wields a Divine-level soul," Kong Xiao answered.

"A Divine-level soul?" Xu Nian felt stunned.

How could a being at Demon Emperor Perfection stage command a Divine-level soul?

"I don’t know how he came by it, but in addition to his own soul, a far mightier one lurks inside him. Should Ao Tian falter, that Divine-level soul seizes control. Still, Ao Tian seldom encounters dilemmas he can’t overcome," Kong Xiao elaborated.

Xu Nian comprehended instantly.

A Divine-level expert’s soul resided within Ao Tian.

Much like his own situation, only his was the mythical Divine Emperor.

"Master Ye Tian?" Xu Nian reflected, resolving to summon Emperor Ye Tian.

"I’ve heard every word. Fortunately, I’m in a pivotal recovery juncture, and this soul serves as the ideal nourishment. Xu Nian, fight with all you’ve got—leave the Divine-level expert to me," Emperor Ye Tian declared.

"Got it!" Xu Nian’s eyes sparkled at once.

Emperor Ye Tian’s guarantee banished all his worries.
