Divine King of Honour Chapter 1812: Conversing with the Death God

While the immortal herb greedily consumed its sustenance, a heavenly glow suddenly radiated from it.

Furthermore, the herb, previously just a foot in height, rapidly extended to three feet long.

In addition, the divine pattern upon the herb released a strange golden light.

It appeared to hold tremendous might.

"What a strange immortal herb—I can’t fathom how far it will grow," Xu Nian exclaimed in astonishment.

An immortal herb was truly capable of such a metamorphosis.

This divine pattern proved exceptionally remarkable.

Evidently, the divine pattern carried the ability to turn the ordinary into the miraculous.

"Absorb it slowly right here!" Xu Nian instructed with a grin.

In the following instant, the herb acted as if it comprehended, nodding in response.

Witnessing this, Xu Nian stood frozen in shock.

To his surprise, the herb had developed sentience.

Shortly after, Xu Nian departed from the valley.

With Tantai Xun Yan absent, he saw no reason to linger in this location.

Exiting the valley space, Xu Nian proceeded directly to the heart of the Death God Domain—the Realm Heart Lake.

From his deductions, the Death God dwelled at the lake's depths.

During his prior visit, he had failed to encounter the Death God whatsoever.

He had escaped like a beaten cur, utterly routed.

"Whoosh!"

Reaching the basin, Xu Nian found himself instantly encircled by countless skeletons.

Peak Immortal Emperor puppets spearheaded the assault, charging forward.

Golden flames flickered in their eye sockets, apparently identifying Xu Nian as the intruder who had fled that night.

"I have no desire to battle you all; you couldn’t defeat me regardless. Lead me to your master," Xu Nian declared.

The flames in the lead Perfect level skeleton’s eyes churned.

Immediately after, it lunged straight at Xu Nian.

Gripping a low-grade Divine Sword, it slashed toward him.

Facing the incoming blade, Xu Nian offered no defense.

"Clang!"

The Divine Sword collided with Xu Nian, erupting in brilliant sparks.

The potent Power of Laws failed to scratch him in the slightest.

The golden skeleton displayed clear disbelief.

Before it could respond, however, Xu Nian delivered a fierce punch.

The resulting shockwave hurled the golden puppet flying.

The other skeletons, beholding this, froze in shock before attempting to swarm Xu Nian.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the golden puppet unleashed a bellow.

All nearby puppets halted abruptly.

"Roar!"

The golden puppet indicated Xu Nian, then pointed toward the Realm Heart Lake.

It was signaling for Xu Nian to trail it.

Xu Nian gladly complied, following the puppet to the Realm Heart Lake.

The horde of puppets parted, allowing Xu Nian to swiftly arrive at the shore.

The golden puppet motioned for Xu Nian to remain, then withdrew.

Xu Nian accepted without protest.

Moments later, the lake waters surged violently.

A figure then emerged before Xu Nian.

Upon sighting it, Xu Nian sensed an overwhelming pressure.

It felt like confronting not a mere individual, but the supreme Death God himself.

Xu Nian gazed at the figure, convinced this was the Death God.

The intense death aura was impossible to mistake.

"Have you come seeking me?" the figure inquired after appraising Xu Nian.

"Yes!" Xu Nian confirmed honestly.

"For the Death Godhood?" The Death God inquired, smiling faintly.

Xu Nian was startled, unprepared for the other to discern his intent so quickly.

"Yes, I seek the Death Godhood you possess to cure my wife’s death curse," Xu Nian explained.

"Death curse?" The Death God hesitated, then burst into laughter.

"You’ve come to the wrong place. The Godhood I hold lacks the power to dispel that death curse," the Death God stated.

"Eh? Why not?" Xu Nian questioned, bewildered.

Hadn’t Emperor Ye Tian assured him the Death Godhood could remove Murong Xue’s death curse?

"I didn’t impose that death curse; it stems from a Peak Divine-level Death God. Only Power of Laws exceeding that pinnacle Divine expert can dissolve it," the Death God clarified.

"So it demands a God-level Death Godhood?" Xu Nian frowned deeply.

"Correct. My Godhood is merely early-stage Divine, and my soul suffers grave injury. Were it not for this lake’s nourishment, my soul would have collapsed long ago. Hence, my Godhood proves useless to you," the Death God explained.

Xu Nian’s gaze darkened, harboring suspicions about the Death God’s claims.

"He speaks the truth. I overlooked it before, but Murong Xue’s death curse was indeed laid by a Peak Divine-level Death God. His Godhood holds no value," Emperor Ye Tian’s voice resounded in Xu Nian’s mind.

"Then obtaining a God-level Death Godhood would prove far more challenging?" A wave of worry flooded Xu Nian’s heart.

Death Godhoods prove extraordinarily scarce, securing a God-level Death Godhood for him resembling the feat of shifting mountains.

"Should you fail to locate one within the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World, venture into the Underworld by all means. That said, word has it you could test fortune at the Netherworld King’s Tomb amid the Sealing God Battlefield." The Death God declared.

Xu Nian nodded.

No other path existed.

Regardless of the trials ahead, the Death Godhood had to be obtained by him.

Murong Xue could not be allowed to perish—not under any circumstances!

"Incidentally, I possess an item that could aid your quest." The Death God mentioned.

With that, he passed a scroll to Xu Nian.

Crafted from primeval beast hide, the scroll appeared.

An archaic emblem adorned the scroll.

This emblem bore a striking resemblance to the death curse mark afflicting Murong Xue.

"Behold the death curse sigil. Consider letting the afflicted one grasp its essence. Should comprehension dawn upon her, she may endure portions of the curse's torment. Naturally, only a God-level Death Godhood will purge it entirely." The Death God elucidated.

"My deepest gratitude, esteemed Death God. Pray tell, what prompts the great Death God to lend me such aid?" Xu Nian inquired with keen interest.

Upon hearing those words, the Death God burst into booming laughter.

"While others remain oblivious, your formidable Divine Soul Power does not escape my notice. Unless I err, a supreme Divine-level powerhouse backs you, prompting my desire to forge a favorable tie." The Death God answered, grinning.

Enlightenment struck Xu Nian abruptly.

The Death God had divined the identity of his patron: Emperor Ye Tian.

Hence, the overture of friendship toward Xu Nian.

With the Death God eager to ally, Xu Nian welcomed it gladly.

Soon after, Xu Nian took leave of the Death God, bound for the Sealing God Battlefield.

The Netherworld King’s Tomb awaited his inspection.

In hopes a God-level Death Godhood lurked within.

Yet prior to embarking, reaching out to Dongfang Ping was essential.
