Divine King of Honour Chapter 1815: Journey to the Netherworld
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Indeed, a God-level Death Godhood truly exists inside this Netherworld King’s Tomb!
Xue’er can now be rescued.
Joy inevitably surfaced on Xu Nian’s countenance.
"Don’t rejoice prematurely, I’m not done speaking. Venturing into this Netherworld King’s Tomb might lead to your utter demise." The woman declared.
"Regardless of the peril, I have to attempt it." Xu Nian replied, eyes filled with resolve.
He had anticipated the perils of the Netherworld King’s Tomb long ago, thus preparing his mind fully.
Yet the woman shook her head.
"The Netherworld King was inherently bloodthirsty. His tomb spells doom not just for you, an Immortal Emperor, but even for a Peak of Divine level expert." The woman explained.
Hearing this, Xu Nian’s brows knitted together.
Typically, divine tombs offer some narrow path to survival, allowing legacies to be inherited.
Does the Death God of this Netherworld King’s Tomb provide no such escape?
"You’re correct. The Death God designed the tomb to slaughter more victims. It appears as a legacy, yet it’s truly a deadly snare meant to lure seekers to their deaths after his passing, reveling in the carnage." The woman revealed.
Xu Nian’s forehead creased even deeper at these words.
A God-level being’s deliberate trap would indeed leave no room for hope.
"No trap in existence is flawless. Surely you know how to crack it?" Xu Nian inquired.
The woman chuckled at his question.
"The Pavilion Master possesses omniscience. She grasps the entry methods for every tomb across the Sealing God Battlefield." Dongfang Ping affirmed.
"He speaks true. I command all entry and exit secrets for these tombs, though my knowledge demands a steep price. For a Heavenly Tomb like the Netherworld King’s Tomb, its worth likely exceeds what you can afford." The woman replied with an enigmatic smile.
"Senior, why not share the terms, and let me decide if I can meet them?" Xu Nian pondered briefly before suggesting.
Though lacking full assurance, he yearned to hear her proposed terms.
The woman burst into laughter upon Xu Nian’s response.
"My demand is straightforward. Perform one task for me, and upon success, I’ll reveal the method to breach the Netherworld King’s Tomb." The woman stated.
"What task?" Xu Nian asked, bewildered.
What could a peak-level Daluo God expert possibly require from him?
"I need you to transport an item. Deliver it successfully, and the deed is done." The woman elaborated.
"To whom?" Xu Nian pressed.
"The Netherworld Lord!" The woman announced.
Shock gripped Xu Nian at this revelation.
The Netherworld Lord?
Wasn’t that the very entity who once sought to possess Leng Yanran’s body?
Earlier, Xu Nian had intentionally shielded Leng Yanran from the Netherworld Lord’s chase. Now, he must confront the Netherworld Lord directly?
Should he proceed, the Netherworld Lord would surely not release him unscathed.
Refusing, however, bars entry to the Netherworld King’s Tomb.
"Master, are you certain about tackling this Netherworld King’s Tomb?" Xu Nian questioned inwardly.
"With my present power, should this Netherworld King’s Tomb indeed harbor Great Tao traps, I hold confidence in overcoming them." Emperor Ye Tian’s voice echoed within Xu Nian’s mind.
A wry, self-deprecating smile touched Xu Nian’s lips.
Ultimately, he depended on Emperor Ye Tian once more.
Still, Emperor Ye Tian’s Soul Power remained severely constrained. Confronting a God-level expert’s deathly traps proved taxing.
Recovery without his godhood was immensely challenging for Emperor Ye Tian.
"Once I deliver the item, you’ll provide the method to enter the Netherworld King’s Tomb?" Xu Nian urgently confirmed.
"Precisely. Deliver it into her hands yourself, and I’ll grant the entry method for the Netherworld King’s Tomb, enabling you to claim the God Level Divine Position within and save your wife." The woman assured.
"Fine, I accept your condition." Xu Nian consented without delay.
At this juncture, bargaining with the woman before him offered the sole path forward.
For the sake of the Netherworld King’s Tomb, he might just manage the delivery.
"Excellent, here’s the item for delivery." The woman passed a metal box to Xu Nian.
A formidable divine forbidden sealed the box.
Xu Nian’s power couldn’t breach it.
Inspecting the box’s material, Xu Nian marveled at its construction from exceptionally tough Divine Iron.
Ancient etchings adorned it, hinting at vast antiquity.
Xu Nian accepted the box without pause.
"I’ll await your triumphant return here." The woman smiled.
Xu Nian nodded in acknowledgment.
With that, he departed the Fengtian Pavilion.
Dongfang Ping followed without hesitation.
"Are you really heading to the Netherworld?" Dongfang Ping inquired.
"I must go." Xu Nian replied.
"You should know just how perilous it is for Immortal Realm folks to enter the Netherworld, especially to face the Netherworld Lord." Dongfang Ping warned.
Xu Nian grinned, "Let’s part ways here!"
Dongfang Ping remained silent yet still offered his farewell to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian made his way back to the Chaos Divine Palace afterward.
He headed straight to Murong Xue’s dwelling.
"Husband, you’ve arrived?" Murong Xue beamed with joy at the sight of Xu Nian.
Although years had elapsed in the outside world, merely half a month had gone by for Murong Xue in this place.
"Xue’er, I’ve discovered the location of the God Level Divine Position. Before long, I’ll remove the Death Curse afflicting you." Xu Nian declared.
Yet, Murong Xue knitted her brows.
She understood full well the immense difficulty in attaining godhood.
In the Three Realms, a God Level Divine Position stood as an extraordinarily scarce item.
A treasure like that, should it even exist, would surely lie within a realm of utmost peril.
She refused to let Xu Nian endanger himself on her account.
"Don’t worry, Xue’er. I’ve advanced to late-stage Immortal Emperor and am on the verge of breaking through to Immortal Emperor Peak. My power now rivals Immortal Emperor Perfection, rendering common threats powerless against me." Xu Nian assured her.
"Husband, no need to deceive me. I understand your character well—if you felt truly assured, you wouldn’t visit me at this moment. Instead, you’d secure the divine position first and then surprise me with it." Murong Xue responded.
Xu Nian shook his head with a wry expression.
True enough, he couldn’t conceal it from Murong Xue.
Indeed, Xu Nian lacked full confidence for his Netherworld venture.
"Rest easy, with the Chaos Divine Palace in my possession, I can flee inside if danger arises." Xu Nian comforted her.
Hearing those words, Murong Xue at last relaxed.
Following that, Xu Nian shared every recent event with Murong Xue.
In short order, Xu Nian bid goodbye to Murong Xue and proceeded right to the Netherworld Gate’s position.
Only one Netherworld Gate existed, defended fiercely by Netherworld soldiers.
Getting past the Netherworld Gate proved a formidable challenge.
This truly left Xu Nian in a bind.
Yet, in no time, Xu Nian devised a brilliant plan!
