Divine King of Honour Chapter 1868: Futu Mountain Experts

Xu Nian's attention was drawn to the young man at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level. This individual had remained in place, silent since Xu Nian's arrival. Despite his quiet demeanor, Xu Nian sensed a formidable power emanating from him, possibly even exceeding that of typical experts at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level. The exact extent of his strength, however, remained elusive to Xu Nian's perception.

"He is the famed loose cultivator of Qing State, Luo Zhengge. His strength even rivals that of geniuses from major powers," Huo Qiu informed Xu Nian, his gaze towards Luo Zhengge marked by clear respect.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's curiosity about the young man intensified. The fact that he was a loose cultivator reaching such a level spoke volumes about his determination and talent.

"Could that be Luo Zhengge? I've heard his Taiqing Righteous Qi is exceptionally potent. Rumor has it, he's dispatched no fewer than ten experts at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level," a voice from the crowd chimed in.

"Indeed, that's him. His Taiqing Righteous Qi is remarkably powerful. It remains a mystery where he acquired such a cultivation technique. Combined with his Wind Attribute laws, his offensive capabilities are incredibly fierce, even matching some Divine-level experts," another spectator corroborated.

This young man, Luo Zhengge, was known to many. Nevertheless, the Divine-level experts present regarded him with a degree of disdain.

"Hmph, no matter his prowess, he's still at the Nether Emperor Level. I refuse to believe his attack power can surpass mine," the Black Shinning Star Lord sneered. Despite his failure, he lingered, obviously eager to witness others meet a similar fate.

"Buzz!"

Amidst the ongoing chatter, Luo Zhengge finally made his move. An immense surge of power erupted from his body, accompanied by a unique energy manifestation. This power pulsed with a magnificent aura, akin to a pristine celestial stream.

He then drew a sharp sword, infusing it with his Law Power, and a razor-sharp Sword Qi enveloped the divine weapon. Merging this power with his Taiqing Righteous Qi, a deep azure aura radiated from the sword.

"Taiqing Inquiry!"

With a resonant shout, Luo Zhengge unleashed his sword. In the ensuing moment, an intensely sharp Sword Radiance shot forth, tearing through the void and meeting the Stele with a direct impact. A cloud of smoke billowed as the Divine Patterns etched onto the Stele flared with brilliant light. Luo Zhengge's assault was entirely absorbed.

The crowd shifted their focus to the Stele, eagerly anticipating the attack value Luo Zhengge would achieve. Beside them, the Shadowless Sword God observed with crossed arms and a faint smile. Yet, a sharp glint flickered in his eyes the instant Luo Zhengge launched his strike.

"Buzz!"

The Divine Patterns on the Stele illuminated once more, and a numerical value appeared. "Impossible! This defies all logic!" the Black Shinning Star Lord exclaimed in disbelief.

Xu Nian and the others exchanged looks of surprise. Luo Zhengge, however, frowned, a shadow of disappointment crossing his features.

The Stele displayed the number 8036. While it fell short of ten thousand, this result already surpassed the Black Shinning Star Lord's. For a Nether Emperor Perfection expert to outperform a Divine-level expert was no small feat. Achieving a score of eight thousand was, in itself, quite remarkable.

Many present were astonished. Luo Zhengge, however, was clearly displeased with his own performance. The Black Shinning Star Lord, conversely, appeared even more crestfallen, wishing he could disappear from sight.

"Haha, the Black Shinning Star Lord just got slapped in the face again," Huo Qiu quipped, twisting the knife.

Hearing this, the Black Shinning Star Lord was almost driven to the brink of rage, his gaze fixated on Huo Qiu with murderous intent.

Xu Nian felt a sense of exasperation. It seemed the Black Shinning Star Lord's breakthrough to the Divine-level was sheer luck, his mentality woefully inadequate.

"Next!" the Shadowless Sword God announced.

"Hmph! It will be me," a bald, Divine-level expert stepped forward decisively. Xu Nian recognized him as the individual who had previously threatened to eliminate them all. The true strength of this bald expert remained unknown.

"Observe closely," the bald Divine-level expert declared, approaching the Stele. His fists clenched, and a potent wave of Earth Attribute Earth True Intent radiated outwards. He then delivered a punch, sending a terrifying surge of energy crashing into the Stele.

"Buzz!"

A number materialized on the Stele: Eleven thousand! The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise. Had this bald Divine-level expert succeeded?

"Buzz!"

The Divine Patterns etched onto the Stele began to glow, and a single mark abruptly shot towards the young, bald man's forehead. This indicated his qualification to participate in the ultimate assessment. Upon receiving the mark, the bald Divine-level expert's face radiated with pride. "His strength is truly formidable," Xu Nian remarked to himself. The bald youth then showcased the Earth Wall Great Dao True Intent, his mastery over it demonstrating a control that had essentially reached the First Level Realm's mid-stage. "Indeed impressive, yet even if he reaches the ultimate assessment, he'll be among the last contenders," Huo Qiu stated dismissively. Xu Nian couldn't help but offer a wry smile, acknowledging Huo Qiu's unparalleled talent for trash talk. "That's right, the next participant," the Shadowless Sword God announced. "Me!" Huo Qiu declared with a grin, stepping forward. He then unleashed his full power, striking the Stele with all his might. The Stele ultimately displayed a score of merely five thousand five. However, Huo Qiu seemed unfazed, as entering the ultimate assessment was never his intention. Achieving five thousand five signified he was a top-tier figure amongst the nether emperors. Subsequently, several more Divine-level experts took their turn. These experts generally managed to reach the ten thousand mark, though none managed to exceed twenty thousand. Finally, the middle-aged man wielding a colossal sword recorded a score of twenty-three thousand. Before long, only Xu Nian and the three individuals from Futu Mountain remained. "I shall go!" announced the elegant young man clad in white from Futu Mountain, stepping forward. He invoked the Wind Spirit's Second Level Taoist Truth, his sword strike manifesting an incredibly sharp edge. Buzz! A piercing Wind Chime sound echoed. A number materialized on the Stele: thirty-eight thousand! Witnessing this figure, numerous spectators on the field gasped in astonishment. Attaining a score of thirty-eight thousand was exceptionally remarkable. Even the Shadowless Sword God's eyes betrayed a flicker of surprise. Xu Nian's gaze also registered a hint of amazement. Thirty-eight thousand? Futu Mountain's prowess was undeniably exceptional. It was likely this young man had not even exerted his complete strength. One could only speculate what scores the other two Divine-level experts from Futu Mountain might achieve. As Xu Nian pondered, the woman named Li Tianxue stepped up. As she advanced, her aura gradually began to manifest. An aura as imposing as a raging inferno immediately stunned everyone present.
