Divine King of Honour Chapter 1861: Epiphany State

The intertwined Water and Fire Sword Intent manifested like a pair of Water and Fire Dragons, coiling and swirling with immense power that unleashed terrifying energy waves.

With a swift sword strike, Xu Nian channeled this dual intent into a singular beam of sword light, which then surged directly towards the Director of Moyang Sword Academy.

"Such potent Sword Qi emanates, and the overlapping Water and Fire Intent actually produces this kind of effect," marveled numerous students from Moyang Sword Academy from afar.

For in this single sword stroke, Xu Nian had successfully fused the Water and Fire Intent. Rather than negating each other, they erupted with a combined force of duality.

This unforeseen outcome even startled the Moyang Sword Academy Director.

"Slash!"

The Director raised his Divine Sword and brought it down with a mighty stroke, his Sword Qi instantly cleaving Xu Nian’s Water and Fire Sword Intent in two.

Moreover, the resulting Sword Qi itself seemed to tear through the very atmosphere, violently slicing towards Xu Nian.

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the observing students and disciples.

Could this truly be just a single, casual strike from their Director?

A seemingly effortless sword swing, yet it unleashed such formidable power?

Xu Nian, equally surprised, reacted instantly. His God Sword transformed into an unyielding net of steel, intercepting the incoming blow.

"Boom!"

Nevertheless, Xu Nian was propelled back nearly a thousand feet by the sheer force of the sword strike.

"So powerful, does this sword carry the Great Dao of the Wind Attribute?" Xu Nian pondered aloud.

He could perceive the ultimate Dao Intent woven into the Moyang Sword Academy Director's attack.

Utterly formidable!

Yet, it was also enigmatic, profound, and shrouded in mystery.

"What's the matter? Could you not withstand even one of my swords?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director inquired with a chuckle.

"Please, proceed, senior. I am quite capable of handling it," Xu Nian responded promptly.

Internally, his excitement surged even higher.

Witnessing the manifestation of the Wind Attribute Great Dao firsthand was infinitely more beneficial to him than months spent in solitary contemplation.

Were he to observe it a few more times, he might just uncover the crucial clue he sought.

"Very well, then face another strike from me." The Moyang Sword Academy Director offered a knowing smile.

With those words, he unleashed another sword strike.

The sword's trajectory was fierce and deliberate, devoid of any hesitation.

A single slash, and the sword light traversed a thousand feet, aimed directly at Xu Nian.

This attack embodied the artistic conception of the Dao, its power amplified several folds compared to the previous one.

"This old fellow is truly relentless; he's employing the Peak of the First Level of the Great Dao without reservation,"remarked the Lei Family Ancestor under his breath.

The Great Dao is segmented into nine ascending levels, each presenting a monumental challenge to overcome.

Consequently, attaining the Peak of the First Level already signifies a considerable level of strength among those at the Divine level.

Even the Lei Family Ancestor, after years of dedicated cultivation, had only managed to comprehend the Thunderclap Dao True Intent to the Peak of the First Level.

Thus, confronting Xu Nian, an individual yet to grasp the Great Dao, with a Peak First Level True Intent was indeed a ruthless tactic.

"Exceptional steel requires a forceful hammer; do not fret, Xu Nian can endure it," Tang Wu stated with composure.

The Lei Family Ancestor offered a nod of agreement.

In truth, he too wished for Xu Nian to glean valuable insights from this intense confrontation.

At this precise moment, Xu Nian's gaze fixed upon the approaching sword, his eyes blazing with an intense fighting spirit.

Without a second thought, he immediately activated the Earth Attribute Great Void Technique.

He launched a punch with explosive force.

"Boom!"

Devastating power erupted instantaneously.

Xu Nian's soul body's arm was immediately obliterated, shredded into nothingness.

Yet, fortunately, he managed to block the sword.

It was also a testament to the Supreme Dragon Robe's protection; otherwise, what was annihilated might not have been merely an arm.

"He actually blocked the Dean’s sword directly? How is that possible?"

"Indeed, blocking it barehanded! What elemental law was his punch channeling?"

"I'm uncertain; I couldn't discern it clearly, but I did sense faint traces of an Earth Attribute Law Wave."

"Earth Attribute? How many diverse elemental powers does this individual command?"

The onlookers surrounding the scene displayed expressions of sheer astonishment.

Even the Moyang Sword Academy Director wore a look of surprise.

A fourth law?

This Xu Nian continued to present one astonishment after another.

To master four distinct attribute laws concurrently, and for all four to have reached the Great Perfection stage – what an extraordinary level of innate talent!

Frankly speaking, the Moyang Sword Academy was already deeply moved, harboring a strong desire to recruit Xu Nian, even if it meant employing force.

"Kid, you’ve actually grasped four attribute laws, all reaching Great Perfection, with two being high-grade Super-grade Principles! Just how long have you been cultivating?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director couldn’t help but inquire.

From his perspective, Xu Nian must have cultivated for tens of thousands of years; otherwise, such achievements would be impossible.

"Reporting to senior, I’ve been cultivating for approximately two hundred years," Xu Nian replied.

"How many?" The Moyang Sword Academy Director doubted his hearing.

"Two hundred years!" Xu Nian confirmed.

These words plunged the entire scene into stunned silence.

Tang Wu and the Lei Family Ancestor were also taken aback.

In their estimation, Xu Nian should have been cultivating for at least tens of thousands of years.

Two hundred years seemed unfathomably short to them.

Consider this: the disciples of the Moyang Sword Academy had all been cultivating for over a thousand years, essentially.

Thus, upon hearing Xu Nian’s declaration of two hundred years, they initially suspected he was fabricating the truth.

"It truly is only two hundred years." The Moyang Sword Academy Director cast a glance at Xu Nian, having just employed soul probing to examine the young man.

He discovered that Xu Nian’s soul was indeed only two hundred years old.

This revelation utterly astounded the Moyang Sword Academy Director.

What sort of heaven-defying prodigy stood before him?

It was no wonder he had attained a Divine-level expert’s Divine Soul Quality at the Nether Emperor Level.

All those present were filled with overwhelming shock.

Subsequently, Xu Nian engaged in a few more exchanges with the Moyang Sword Academy Director.

After these brief bouts, Xu Nian appeared to gain some insight and ceased the sparring.

The Moyang Sword Academy Director did not interrupt Xu Nian, instead providing a palace for him to use as a residence for focused contemplation and cultivation.

Time passed swiftly, and Xu Nian remained in seclusion for an entire month.

"Do you believe this kid can genuinely comprehend the Great Dao?" the Lei Family Ancestor gazed towards Xu Nian’s residence, unable to refrain from asking.

"It’s difficult to say. Given his talent, creating a miracle isn’t impossible," Tang Wu responded.

Regarding Xu Nian, he found common sense inadequate for judgment.

"While his talent is exceptionally potent, relying solely on a few battles with me to comprehend the Wind Attribute Great Dao seems rather incredible, don’t you think?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director shook his head, articulating his skepticism.

Even though he acknowledged Xu Nian as an absolute anomaly.

Nevertheless, concerning Xu Nian’s potential comprehension of the Wind Attribute Dao True Intent, he maintained a pessimistic outlook.

The Lei Family Ancestor and Tang Wu offered concurring nods; their sentiments mirrored the Director’s.

After all, how easily could one truly grasp the Great Dao True Intent?

However, Xu Nian remained blissfully unaware of these discussions, having already entered a state of profound immersion.

Were the Lei Family Ancestor and the others nearby, they would undoubtedly recognize that Xu Nian was currently in a state of deep enlightenment.

At this very moment, both his physical self and his clone were completely absorbed in this transcendent state.

And this profound immersion had persisted for an entire month.
