Divine King of Honour Chapter 1807: Court Death in Madness
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
On the fringes of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain within the Immortal Domain.
Silhouettes abruptly materialized one by one.
Not a single one among them fell short of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Prominent figures like Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor, Yaochi Immortal King, Heavenly Immortal Emperor, Fu Yao, and Immortalization stood among them.
Naturally, Taichu Immortal Emperor was present too.
"There are fifteen Demon Emperors at Great Perfection after all—where on earth did these guys come from?" Fuyao Immortal Emperor questioned, puzzled.
Yet all the others simply shook their heads.
No one had a clue.
This faction had popped up from nowhere, emerging all of a sudden.
"You lot can't even figure this out?" Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor laughed lightly.
"Oh? Ksitigarbha, you know the deal here?" Heavenly Immortal Emperor inquired, taken aback.
The rest turned their gazes toward Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor.
Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor merely grinned in silence: "Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is in deep trouble this time—they could get completely wiped out by this whole group."
"What?" The nearby Immortal Emperors all reacted with shock at these words.
Uprooted?
What grudge could spark that?
"Ksitigarbha, quit the suspense—spill what's happening," Yaochi Immortal King pressed, growing restless.
"Have Taichu Immortal Emperor lay it out; he ought to grasp it clearest." Ksitigarbha smiled as he spoke.
His words prompted everyone to fix their eyes on Taichu Immortal Emperor.
Taichu Immortal Emperor shook his head.
Truth be told, his own astonishment ran deeper than anyone else's there.
"Does anyone care to clarify?" Tianjian Immortal Emperor of Tianjian Sect remarked, looking glum.
The remaining Immortal Emperors felt urgency too.
"Never mind, no need to strain yourselves. These Demon Emperor experts hail from the Demon Realm, and they likely got transported here by somebody," Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor declared.
"Who?" The group chorused, baffled.
"Xu Nian, the disciple of Taichu! He must've stored every one of these Demon Emperors in a Space Divine Artifact." Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor revealed.
"Xu Nian?" Shock rippled through everyone at the name.
They never would've guessed it was Taichu Immortal Emperor's own disciple, Xu Nian.
At that revelation, Yaochi and the others swiftly glanced at the figure leading the pack, radiating fierce killing intent.
Seeing him, Yaochi and company froze in place.
"That's Xu Nian for sure—his presence blended right in with the Great Perfection Demon Emperors before, so we overlooked it. Now you point it out, yeah, it's him," Yaochi exclaimed, stunned.
All were left dumbfounded.
Particularly Heavenly Immortal Emperor, Fuyao Immortal Emperor, and Tianjian Immortal Emperor.
All of them had crossed Xu Nian previously.
With Xu Nian now wielding such a fearsome army, unease gripped them inevitably.
"Did Xu Nian head to the Demon Realm?" Yaochi turned to Taichu and asked.
"Yeah, a few days back he went there to rescue his brother. I had no idea he'd come back; he was merely at quasi-Demon Immortal Emperor level on departure," Taichu Immortal Emperor replied.
These statements left every Immortal Emperor powerhouse speechless.
Departing as a quasi-Immortal Emperor, returning months later at late-stage Immortal Emperor?
Dragging along twenty-eight Demon Emperors?
Fifteen of them at Great Perfection?
Is this guy even mortal?
Right then, every Immortal Emperor inwardly swore to steer clear of provoking Xu Nian.
Even Heavenly Immortal Emperor and the rest pondered ways to repair ties with Xu Nian.
"So why rush straight to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain on return?" Tianjian Immortal Emperor wondered aloud, confused.
"I've got it—Ten Thousand Beast Mountain just struck at a group named Heavenly Court, seizing three women. From what I hear, Xu Nian founded that Heavenly Court, and those women are his lovers," Yaochi Immortal King explained.
This news drew sharp intakes of breath from all present Immortal Emperors.
In that instant, pity for Ten Thousand Beast Mountain welled up in them.
They knew Xu Nian's nature to some degree.
Having slain Heavenly Immortal Emperor's son, he clearly loathed evil and struck without mercy.
With Ten Thousand Beast Mountain holding his lovers and almost crushing his faction.
Xu Nian won't drop it without leveling Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
One by one, the Immortal Emperors let out heavy sighs.
A massive shift loomed for the Immortal Realm's landscape.
Just then, Taichu Immortal Emperor sensed a wave of ease wash over him.
Xu Nian’s cultivation advancement stunned even himself with its astonishing rapidity.
...
At the same time, numerous leaders from the Immortal Realm had assembled.
The top figures of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain were soaked in perspiration.
In particular, the foremost Golden Robed Immortal Emperor, whose brow glistened with beads of cold sweat.
"I am the ancestor of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Jin Yuan. My true form is a four-clawed Golden Dragon, so I can be considered a member of the Demon Clan. Could you please tell me if there’s any grievance so we can sit down and discuss it?" the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor declared, his gaze cunning.
From his perspective, Xu Nian had rallied these Demon Emperor experts surely by offering them some kind of incentive.
Should he pinpoint that crucial element, shattering their bond with Xu Nian might prove feasible.
"Four-clawed Golden Dragon? Mere vermin, yet you presume to claim kinship with us? You have no idea whom you’ve provoked," Ao Tian scoffed contemptuously.
A single look allowed him to discern the true nature of these five individuals before him.
Every one belonged to the Dragon Clan!
However, each bore an inferior Dragon Clan bloodline.
Without Xu Nian’s command, he probably would have swallowed them whole in a single gulp.
The remaining Demon Emperor experts sneered mockingly in succession.
They regarded the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor and his companions like utter fools.
How could they fail to perceive the schemes brewing in the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor’s mind?
A chill filled Xu Nian’s eyes as he remained silent.
He intended to witness just how desperately Ten Thousand Beast Mountain sought its own doom.
Su Chan observed the scene indifferently, as though it held no concern for her.
To her, this entire affair resembled nothing more than an entertaining spectacle.
Worm?
Ao Tian’s retort promptly drained all color from the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor’s face, turning it ashen.
Still, the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor betrayed no fury, for he detected the horrifying pressure radiating from Ao Tian.
That overwhelming presence meant the foe could annihilate them effortlessly in a heartbeat.
This merely fortified his determination to sever Xu Nian’s ties with these powerhouses.
"Esteemed one, I grasp your purpose here, but do you truly wish to challenge Ten Thousand Beast Mountain over some obscure Immortal Realm nobody? Reveal the bribe he offered you, and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain will match it twofold," the Golden Robed Immortal Emperor urged.
He realized full well that such a cost would be steep indeed.
Yet, to fracture their pact right now, no other choice remained.
"Reward? Double?" The assembled Demon Emperor powerhouses erupted in derisive guffaws.
Xu Nian himself couldn’t suppress a scornful smirk.
"Ao Tian, inform them of the reward I supposedly gave you?" Xu Nian inquired, lips curling in an icy grin.
"Master, you’ve offered us no rewards whatsoever," Ao Tian answered cheerfully.
Master?
The folks from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain froze in shock.
A icy dread gripped the hearts of the five Golden Robed Immortal Emperors.
It was only now that realization dawned on them regarding the sneers from these intruders.
Throughout it all, they had been mere laughingstocks.
