Divine King of Honour Chapter 1820: Taoist God Bead

"Why head to the Qin’s Ancestral Mansion?" Xu Nian inquired with curiosity.

Strong rivalries have long existed between the Qin Family of Heavenly Thunder City and the Qin’s Ancestral Mansion.

In that case, wouldn’t Qin Xue be stepping right into danger?

"Ah, Brother Feng, you probably don’t realize, but I really don’t want Xue’er heading there either. Yet we have no option. The sect demands Xue’er join the competition at the ancestral clan. Refusing means they’ll dispatch forces to wipe out our Heavenly Thunder City branch." Qin Changfeng sighed as he explained.

Xu Nian got the picture.

Every branch disciple from the Qin Family must attend the ancestral clan’s competition.

Anxious for Qin Xue’s protection, Qin Changfeng planned to go alongside her.

Yet Xu Nian hadn’t arrived in the Netherworld to lounge; urgent missions awaited him.

"Family Head Qin, I fear I must let you down. My own duties demand my attention." Xu Nian turned down the request.

Guarding Qin Xue to the ancestral clan event posed no real challenge for him,

but he refused to squander time on it, lacking any duty to aid Qin Changfeng.

"Brother Feng, please don’t rush to refuse. Should you accept, I’ll present you with this treasure." Qin Changfeng produced a box.

Simple and aged, the box appeared unassuming.

A mighty energy emanated from within, detectable by Xu Nian.

This energy transcended mere laws, hinting at the profound Dao itself.

Opening the box revealed a Stone Pearl to Xu Nian.

Though plain in looks, the Stone Pearl harbored a horrifyingly vast power.

Endless and uncontrollable even by Nether Emperor experts, this force surged boundlessly.

"Could this be the Taoist God Bead?" Emperor Ye Tian’s astonished voice resounded in Xu Nian’s sea of consciousness.

"Taoist God Bead? What exactly is that?" Xu Nian questioned, puzzled.

"Forged by a supreme Craft God, the Taoist God Bead embeds Dao power into prayer beads for devastating might. Nine exist in total, and this is merely one. Wielded wisely, it slays even Divine-level powerhouses," Emperor Ye Tian detailed.

Slay Divine-level experts?

Shock gripped Xu Nian.

Lacking strong means for self-protection had troubled him.

Despite owning the Star Axe, Chaos Divine Palace, and Supreme Dragon Robe,

his present power couldn’t unleash their full potential.

Deploying them versus Divine-level foes might backfire catastrophically.

Should the Taoist God Bead counter Divine-level threats, it could prove invaluable.

"Very well, Family Head Qin, I’ll take it on." Xu Nian claimed the Taoist God Bead and agreed.

"Wonderful, I’m thrilled you accept. I recognize its value as a supreme treasure, yet its nature and usage elude me. Still, I sense even Divine-level experts would crave it. Holding onto it invites calamity alone." Qin Changfeng replied.

Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

Should Qin Changfeng’s possession of such an item become known,

catastrophe would surely follow.

After all, Divine-level experts would salivate over it fiercely.

...

During the ensuing days, Xu Nian remained at the Qin Family Mansion.

Far from slacking, Xu Nian pressed on diligently.

He focused on grasping the Wind Attribute Law.

Only the previous night had his Wind Attribute Law advanced to the Eighth Level Great Success Realm.

Now, Xu Nian channeled this realm into formidable offensive techniques.

"Buzz!"

Pointing like a blade, Xu Nian slashed forward.

Sword Qi exploded outward, ripping the void apart in an instant.

A rainbow of Sword Qi unleashed a dreadfully fearsome presence.

This presence alone could shake any Immortal Emperor Perfection master to the core.

Undoubtedly, Xu Nian’s First-grade Law surging to Eighth Level Heaven rivaled the Great Perfection of typical Second Grade Laws in might.

This advancement clearly boosted Xu Nian’s prowess to unprecedented heights.

"With my true body and two avatars training inside the Chaos Divine Palace, my cultivation advances at breakneck speed. Immortal Emperor Peak lies just ahead soon." Xu Nian muttered softly.

Currently, his true body devoured Divine Origin Liquid with insatiable hunger.

Breakthrough loomed as merely a question of moments for him.

Yet this paled beside the true thrill.

More captivating was how the Chaos Green Lotus, absorbing ever more, underwent a profound evolution.

"Could my ascent to Divine-level trigger a qualitative shift in the Chaos Green Lotus, birthing my personal universe?" Xu Nian marveled in astonishment.

Earlier, Emperor Ye Tian had revealed the Chaos Green Lotus as a method to birth universes.

So far, Xu Nian still hadn't witnessed the universe unveiled by the Chaos Green Lotus.

This might only occur after he advanced to the Divine-level.

Xu Nian felt no urgency about the Green Lotus Technique.

Naturally, comprehension would come when breakthrough time arrived.

Meanwhile, the Divine Demon Avatar and Nine Infant Avatar

were frantically devouring the Divine Origin Liquid's power.

It wouldn't be long before they too could advance.

"Brother Feng, I've broken through, I've broken through!" Qin Xue rushed over in excitement.

Right now, Qin Xue had hit the Peak of Tribulation Crossing and could already feel the Heavenly Tribulation approaching.

Surviving the Heavenly Tribulation would propel her into the Earth Immortal Realm.

From there, ascending to Heavenly Immortal was merely a question of time.

"Congratulations! You'll have even greater assurance in the sect competition now," Xu Nian said smilingly.

"It's all because of Brother Feng's guidance; without it, I wouldn't have advanced so fast," Qin Xue exclaimed thrilled.

Xu Nian just smiled. He'd only offered Qin Xue a few offhand tips.

Her impressive talent had allowed her to genuinely breakthrough, beyond his expectations.

"By the way, when are you thinking of facing the tribulation?" Xu Nian inquired.

"Tomorrow!" Qin Xue answered.

"Tomorrow? That quick?" Xu Nian questioned, surprised.

Crossing the tribulation posed the greatest hurdle for any Netherworld Practitioner.

Heavenly Thunder held back countless Netherworld God-level experts, after all.

Those like Lei Li, who practiced Thunder Attribute Techniques, remained exceptionally uncommon.

"Yes, I'm certain I can handle the tribulation. Don't worry, Brother Feng," Qin Xue assured.

Admiration filled Qin Xue's gaze toward the Xu Nian standing before her.

Through their recent days together, she'd discovered just how extraordinary he truly was.

Any challenge, no matter its complexity, Xu Nian resolved with ease.

Her respect for him grew even deeper as a result.

Of course, Xu Nian picked up on Qin Xue's admiration, yet to him, no task proved impossible.

On the following day, the Heavenly Tribulation arrived swiftly.

Terror instantly gripped the Netherworld Practitioners throughout Heavenly Thunder City.

In the open space of the Qin Family grounds, Qin Xue positioned herself at the center, expression resolute.

Not far off, Xu Nian stood alongside Qin Changfeng.

Anxiety etched clearly on Qin Changfeng's face, his tension palpable.

Xu Nian, however, observed Qin Xue ahead with perfect composure.

The Heavenly Thunder from the Cultivation World?

He'd faced it previously, the memory as fresh as if yesterday.
