Divine King of Honour Chapter 1848: Wood Origin Heart

Mu Yuqing’s swordplay was both rapid and potent, each thrust infused with the essence of the Life Law. When struck by her Sword Radiance, an opponent’s vitality would steadily ebb away until life itself was extinguished. Her techniques were exceedingly intricate and cunning. Yet, the young man standing before her was clearly no ordinary opponent. He parried every assault with remarkable ease, effortlessly nullifying Mu Yuqing’s every offensive move.

"Clang!" With a resounding clash, the young man unleashed a powerful counter-strike, sending Mu Yuqing and her sword soaring back thirty zhang.

"Mu Yuqing, don't you think it’s time to cease this? We’ve sparred over ten times, and each encounter has ended in a stalemate. While we cannot utilize our cultivation here, our comprehension of laws is on par, meaning you cannot truly defeat me," the young man stated with a gentle smile. He displayed no apprehension in Mu Yuqing’s presence.

Mu Yuqing’s brow furrowed, her gaze sharp like a dagger’s point. Though she loathed to confess it, Mu Yuqing knew Liu Yu spoke the truth. She was, in fact, incapable of overcoming him.

"Liu Yu, what precisely is your objective?" Mu Yuqing inquired icily.

The latter let out a soft chuckle. "What I desire, you should already comprehend."

"Absolutely not! I will never surrender the Wood Origin Heart; it is a sacred treasure of my Mu Family!" Mu Yuqing adamantly refused.

The Wood Origin Heart? Xu Nian felt a stir of surprise. So, this was the true reason Mu Yuqing had enticed him to this location. He had gleaned some information about the so-called Wood Origin Heart. Even within the Divine World, it was considered an artifact of immense rarity. Legend had it that this treasure could be absorbed by the human body, bolstering one's cultivation, soul power, and physical might. Moreover, it bestowed upon the possessor the potential to ascend to the Daluo God Level. It is crucial to realize that each distinct tier within the Divine-level presents a monumental barrier that few manage to surmount. The journey from Divine-level to Godhood often consumes a lifetime without success. The leap from God to Daluo God is an even more formidable challenge. However, the Wood Origin Heart possesses the capability to alter this fate. It is said to enhance an individual’s latent potential for breaking through to the Daluo God Level. Consequently, numerous experts at the Divine-level, including those already at Godhood, yearned to obtain the Wood Origin Heart.

This Wood Origin Heart purportedly originates from an Ancient Divine Tree known as the Chaos Divine Willow. This mystical tree flowers once every fifty million years, producing a single fruit, which is the Wood Origin Heart. Effectively, obtaining a single Wood Origin Heart necessitates a waiting period of one hundred million years. Just how profoundly valuable is this Wood Origin Heart? Furthermore, in antiquity, the Chaos Divine Willow vanished without a trace, rendering the Wood Origin Heart a mere legend since then. Unexpectedly, a Wood Origin Heart exists here? But why would Mu Yuqing seek him out specifically to acquire it? And since Liu Yu has been present for some time, why has he not yet secured the Wood Origin Heart? There must be concealed truths beyond his current understanding.

"That is out of the question, Mu Yuqing. You must understand that relying solely on yourself makes obtaining the Wood Origin Heart an impossibility. I recall your Mu Family once possessed two Wood Origin Hearts. Are you perhaps hoarding them for yourself?" Liu Yu scoffed coldly.

"Do not push me; both Wood Origin Hearts belong rightfully to my Mu Family," Mu Yuqing retorted with a frosty tone.

"So, there are indeed two Wood Origin Hearts. Mu Yuqing, provided you pledge to give me one, I shall assist you in bypassing your family’s Great Formation." Liu Yu’s eyes gleamed with determination. He was resolute in acquiring the Wood Origin Heart. Should he succeed, he might stand a chance of reaching the Daluo God Realm in the future. Within the Netherworld, only a select few prodigies could confidently assert their potential to attain the Daluo God Realm. Faced with such a golden opportunity, how could Liu Yu possibly let it slip away?

"How would you assist me in circumventing the Great Formation?" Mu Yuqing, who had initially intended to refuse, faltered and inquired.

"That is of no concern to you. Regardless, I am undoubtedly more capable than he is, wouldn’t you agree?" Liu Yu sneered.

Xu Nian’s brows knitted together. It was evident that Liu Yu was directing his remark towards him. Disregarding Liu Yu’s words, Mu Yuqing turned her attention to Xu Nian. "Xu Nian, you have overheard our discussion. Beyond this gorge lies the hallowed ground where my Mu Family ancestors met their end. The killing intent you perceived emanates from the formidable Great Formation established by my ancestors. I enticed you here because I require your assistance in breaching this formation."

"Why me?" Xu Nian asked, a sense of bewilderment washing over him. He had largely deduced the situation by now, but he was perplexed as to why Mu Yuqing had chosen him, someone who hadn't even reached the Divine-level.

"Intuition. I feel a familiar sensation with you, a mysterious aura. I can’t pinpoint why, but I sense you could help me overcome the Great Formation," Mu Yuqing replied.

Xu Nian remained silent, continuing to listen to Mu Yuqing.

"I understand you might doubt my intentions for luring you here, but I assure you I have no intention of harming you. Whether you choose to stay or leave now, I will respect your decision," Mu Yuqing stated.

"Kid, I think you should leave. This Great Formation has claimed the lives of many Divine-level experts. You’re not even at Divine-level yet, entering such a formation is suicide," Liu Yu chuckled softly.

Xu Nian let out a light chuckle.

Previously, he had considered leaving, but now his plans had shifted to staying.

Besides anything else, he too was tempted by the Wood Origin Heart.

If Liu Yu could compete for the Wood Origin Heart, why couldn’t he?

"Fine, I agree to team up with you to break the formation, but I’ll also vie for the Wood Origin Heart," Xu Nian declared.

"Kid, you’re courting death! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you now! You think you’re worthy of competing for the Wood Origin Heart?" Liu Yu became furious, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

However, Mu Yuqing positioned herself protectively in front of Xu Nian and shouted coldly, "Liu Yu, don’t go overboard. Since you have the right to compete, why shouldn’t he?"

Liu Yu’s gaze turned frosty. Seeing Mu Yuqing protect Xu Nian so fiercely, his eyes gleamed with even more murderous intent.

But he quickly restrained it and said, "Fine, since he seeks death, I shall grant him that wish. But should he perish in the formation, there would be no point in regretting it."

Xu Nian laughed lightly, paying no mind to the threat.

Mu Yuqing then turned to Xu Nian and said, "Thank you for agreeing to help me break the formation. If you truly obtain the Wood Origin Heart in the end, I assure you, I, Mu Yuqing, will never trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian gave a slight nod.

Mu Yuqing’s eyes showed sincere honesty.

If this was all just deceit, then the woman before him was quite the accomplished con artist.

"What kind of formation is this?" Xu Nian inquired curiously.

"You’ll find out soon. In any case, the Great Formation is terrifying. It once claimed the life of a God," Mu Yuqing responded.

Xu Nian was visibly surprised.

A God had died in the formation?

This Great Formation truly seemed terrifying.
