Divine King of Honour Chapter 1803: Demon God Palace Master
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Xu Nian gazed upon the Demon God Palace Master who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Little surprise flickered in his eyes.
The intervention by the Demon God Palace Master was entirely anticipated by him.
Indeed, how could the Demon God Palace Master tolerate the massacre of their Three Emperors by outsiders?
"Xu Nian, drop this issue, treat it as a personal favor to me," the Demon God Palace Master uttered.
The onlookers were all stunned.
They had assumed the Palace Master would erupt in rage.
Yet, astonishingly, he addressed Xu Nian in such a mild manner, like requesting a kindness.
Even Xu Nian hadn't foreseen the Demon God Palace Master talking to him this way.
This left him, prepared for a haughty retort, hesitant to snub a friendly approach.
"Since the Palace Master has asked, I'll certainly grant him this respect, but Sikong Wushang attempted to kill me multiple times, so I can't simply let him off," Xu Nian replied.
Upon hearing those words, the Demon God Palace Master wasted no time on chatter.
He unleashed a devastating palm strike without delay.
The strike connected squarely with Sikong Wushang.
"Poof!"
Sikong Wushang spewed forth a gush of blood.
Terror etched across his face as he stared at the Demon God Palace Master.
"Palace Master, have you destroyed my cultivation?" Sikong Wushang exclaimed in disbelief.
His cultivation had truly been crippled?
Wasn't this far worse than death?
With his cultivation ruined, all past enemies would surely hunt him down relentlessly.
Forget the rest—even the Phoenix Emperor from the Phoenix Clan would never spare him.
The nearby Demon Clan powerhouses were equally shocked.
They never dreamed the Palace Master would personally shatter Sikong Wushang’s cultivation.
"Does this suffice?" the Demon God Palace Master inquired of Xu Nian.
"Enough!" Xu Nian nodded in affirmation.
He hadn't anticipated the Demon God Palace Master crippling Sikong Wushang’s cultivation with his own hand.
With the Palace Master having crippled Sikong Wushang’s cultivation already, it fully honored his standing.
Sikong Wushang's days were numbered from here on.
"Very well, now that tensions have eased, follow me—I’ll introduce you to someone," the Demon God Palace Master stated.
"Okay!" Xu Nian consented readily.
He promptly directed Ao Tian to safeguard Luo Blood and the rest.
Though risks were minimal, Ao Tian's presence provided extra reassurance.
"Okay!" Ao Tian acknowledged.
"Husband? Allow me to accompany you!" Luo Blood pleaded anxiously.
"No need—I trust the Palace Master means me no harm," Xu Nian assured her.
At those words, Luo Blood reluctantly agreed with a nod.
Afterward, Xu Nian trailed the Demon God Palace Master into the heart of the Demon God Palace.
Xu Nian accompanied the Demon God Palace Master to a sheer cliff in the innermost reaches of the Demon God Palace.
A colossal cave yawned upon the cliff's edge.
Xu Nian entered the cave alongside the Palace Master.
Growing wonder seized him more and more.
Whom was the Demon God Palace Master leading him to encounter?
Before long, they reached the cave's innermost chamber within the Demon God Palace.
The cavern sprawled vast and roomy.
Xu Nian's gaze swept the cave's interior, shock abruptly dawning on his features.
"Lan Xi?"
Xu Nian gaped in astonishment at the massive Void Insect Nest dominating the cave.
Right then, the Void Insect Nest loomed directly before him.
Within that Void Insect Nest resided none other than Lan Xi, the Void Mother Empress he had once tamed.
"Correct, the one I wished for you to see is Lan Xi. From the moment you stepped into the Demon Realm, she detected you, yet during her vital evolution phase, she couldn't emerge, thus she tasked me with escorting you," the Palace Master explained.
Xu Nian felt a twinge of surprise.
Had Lan Xi undergone evolution?
Similar to his Undying Devouring Sky Beast, the Void Mother Empress ranked among the Four Great Chaotic Holy Beasts.
Evidently, Lan Xi remained immature, locked in deep slumber as she underwent her ongoing metamorphosis.
Mature forms of both the Undying Devouring Sky Beast and Void Mother Empress could attain peak Demon Emperor cultivation.
This highlighted the terrifying prowess of Chaotic Holy Beasts.
"If Lan Xi was here the whole time, why did I fail to sense her?" Xu Nian questioned, amazed.
A Soul Contract bound him to Lan Xi. In theory, upon arriving in the Demon Realm, he ought to have felt her.
Yet now, positioned there, no trace registered to him.
This baffled him greatly.
"In truth, I placed Divine Talismans around her to block soul power, preventing you from sensing her," the Demon God Palace Master clarified.
Enlightenment dawned on Xu Nian at once.
The Demon God Palace Master had concealed Lan Xi's presence meticulously.
All along, he had been pondering where Lan Xi had vanished to.
"What is the relationship between the Palace Master and Lan Xi?" Xu Nian asked with curiosity.
"I knew you would ask. Since you did, I won’t hide it. Like Lan Xi, I am also a Chaos Divine Beast. You should know the origin of Chaos Divine Beasts, right?" the Demon God Palace Master replied.
"Yes, they are formed from the essence of heaven and earth’s power, a type of Chaos Divine Beast that exists only one in the world, and once dead, will reincarnate in another form," Xu Nian said.
"That’s right, and you can probably guess my true form!" the Demon God Palace Master said.
"Yes, the Chaos Thunder Tiger!" Xu Nian replied.
"Haha! Lan Xi said you have an Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar? Is it true?" the Demon God Palace Master asked.
"It’s true, but my Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar is still in slumber, so I didn’t bring it with me," Xu Nian responded.
"So it’s true, which means that of the Four Great Chaotic Holy Beasts, three are gathered here?" the Demon God Palace Master laughed.
Xu Nian nodded in disbelief.
Surprise filled him as well.
Never had he imagined that three of the Four Great Chaotic Holy Beasts would converge in this place.
"Actually, the reason I called you is for another matter," the Demon God Palace Master said.
"It’s about that descending Demon God?" Xu Nian asked.
"Indeed, you are wise. Yes, it’s concerning that descending Demon God. His purpose in the Three Realms is actually for something," the Demon God Palace Master explained.
"Something?" Xu Nian was somewhat stunned.
What sort of treasure could compel a God-level powerhouse to descend from the Divine World in pursuit of it?
"I don’t know what exactly, but I’ve heard it’s very important, supposedly a fragment even divine beings highly value," the Demon God Palace Master said.
A fragment?
"Could it be that?"
Emperor Ye Tian’s voice resounded within Xu Nian’s mind.
"Master? You know?"
Xu Nian inquired, puzzled.
"I’ll discuss it with you later, but if the fragment truly exists in the Three Realms, you must obtain it," Emperor Ye Tian said.
"Is it that important?" Xu Nian asked, astonished.
"More important than a Chaos Divine Artifact," Emperor Ye Tian exclaimed.
This statement shocked Xu Nian to his core.
Valued higher than a Chaos Divine Artifact.
In that instant, Xu Nian’s curiosity intensified about the true nature of this mysterious fragment.
"Moreover, I plan to undergo Tribulation Crossing," the Demon God Palace Master suddenly declared.
"Tribulation Crossing?" Xu Nian was startled.
He never anticipated that the Demon God Palace Master intended to attempt Tribulation Crossing.
