Divine King of Honour Chapter 1874: God King Sword
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Xu Nian let out a sigh of relief, finally having evaded the visual range of the Three-legged Golden Crow.
That God Level creature was exceedingly powerful, far beyond Xu Nian's current capabilities.
This encounter served as a stark reminder of the immense challenge that lay ahead in completing his mission.
Seeking out a secluded and secure location, Xu Nian sat down in a cross-legged position to commence his recovery from his injuries.
His recovery proceeded at a rapid pace; with his present strength, mending his Soul Body was a straightforward matter.
"Were it not for this Ice Attribute God Power, which happens to counter the Three-legged Golden Crow, I might have been forced to employ the Black Magic Sky Mushroom just to make my escape," Xu Nian mused aloud.
At this juncture, he gained a deeper appreciation for the sheer danger inherent in this Hell Fragment World.
"Roar!"
A fearsome bestial roar echoed from a distance, once again piercing the air.
Though the sound was distant, it emanated a formidable aura of majesty.
Xu Nian could distinctly feel the potent might of the creature from which the roar originated.
He surmised that it was likely the cry of a Divine Beast at the God King Level.
It was crucial to remember that the original realm of this hell was not bound by Heaven and Earth Laws.
Consequently, the possibility of encountering supreme experts surpassing the Daluo God Level was a real concern.
This realization instilled a heightened sense of caution within Xu Nian.
For this reason, Xu Nian opted against traveling at high altitudes.
Such a course of action carried the significant risk of encountering extremely powerful Netherworld Beasts.
Netherworld Beasts were known to be territorial, and intruding upon their domain could provoke an assault.
Xu Nian continued his journey.
However, his progress was soon halted when he spotted a colossal dragon resting upon a mountain peak.
The dragon was of immense size, its body coiled entirely around the mountain, completely encircling the massive summit.
An overwhelming sense of suffocation immediately washed over Xu Nian.
"Could this be a Daluo God Level Netherworld Beast?" Xu Nian's heart filled with dread.
The sheer terror of this hellish realm, capable of harboring so many formidable experts of a divine caliber, was staggering.
Fortunately, the great dragon appeared indifferent to Xu Nian's presence, opening a single eye to regard him briefly before closing it once more.
Sensing an opportunity, Xu Nian swiftly retreated.
He felt a surge of gratitude that he was currently in his Soul Body form.
Had he been in his true form, his Supreme Dragon Clan Bloodline would undoubtedly have drawn the attention of the terrifying dragon.
Xu Nian quietly withdrew from the dragon's field of vision, his heart still pounding with apprehension.
He was deeply thankful that the dragon had perceived him as insignificant and allowed him to pass unhindered.
Otherwise, he would have been compelled to seek refuge within the Chaos Divine Palace.
And in such a scenario, effecting an escape would have proven nearly impossible.
Before long, Xu Nian arrived at an expansive plain.
It was here that Xu Nian discovered a surprising multitude of discarded Divine-level weapons.
Some of these armaments bore the marks of erosion from wind and sand, clearly indicating they had endured the passage of countless ages.
Yet, Xu Nian could still detect a potent aura of bloodshed emanating from the very ground.
This intense, bloody aura was so overwhelming that even someone of Xu Nian's cultivation level found his mind affected, stirring an irrational sense of irritation.
"What a potent bloody aura; what manner of battle unfolded here that, even after such an immense span of time, I still feel this overwhelming urge to kill?" Xu Nian pondered.
He was convinced that an incredibly brutal conflict had once taken place in this location.
And it was undoubtedly an engagement dominated by experts of the divine level.
The evidence of this fierce struggle was palpable in the fragments of these Divine-level weapons.
"Master, approximately 300 meters to your left, there lies a Divine Weapon that appears to resonate strongly with me," communicated the voice of Artifact Spirit Shi Shanshan.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian turned his gaze in the direction Shi Shanshan indicated.
There, concealed entirely beneath a thick layer of dust, only a small sword hilt protruded from the earth.
Xu Nian proceeded to unearth the ancient sword.
The instant his fingers made contact with the Divine Sword, he felt as though he was immersed in a macabre landscape of piled corpses and a sea of blood.
Within this grim tableau, a solitary figure stood, projecting an aura of extreme terror that deeply unsettled Xu Nian.
"A Divine King? This is undoubtedly an expert at the God King Level."
Xu Nian rapidly withdrew from this immersive vision, his expression one of astonishment.
Could the original owner of this weapon truly have been a Divine King?
"This weapon must be a God King Weapon, and it appears to be completely undamaged," Shi Shanshan declared.
Xu Nian nodded in agreement.
Despite its ancient appearance, the Divine Sword possessed an extraordinary level of craftsmanship.
Xu Nian channeled his Soul Power into the blade, and immediately, an incredibly sharp and potent aura surged forth from the Divine Sword.
He could discern that this Divine Weapon's power was several times greater than that of his current God Level Divine Sword.
In essence, wielding this God King Weapon.
Xu Nian's combat prowess would undoubtedly ascend to an entirely new echelon.
"Buzz!"
With a decisive movement, Xu Nian swung the God King Sword, unleashing a powerful strike.
In the blink of an eye, an astonishingly keen Sword Radiance erupted forth.The next instant, all within a ten-thousand-mile radius, including the fabric of space itself, was cleaved asunder."So formidable, so piercing, this might just be the sharpest armament I have ever laid eyes upon," Xu Nian mused internally.Wielding this Divine Weapon, he felt emboldened enough to confront even a Top-grade Divine Level Expert.Although he also possessed the Star Axe, a weapon of Chaos Level, its might was not derived from sharpness.Therefore, to Xu Nian, this God King Sword was akin to bestowing wings upon a tiger."Master, it appears there is a seal upon this God King Sword, and if it can be shattered, its power could be amplified even further," Shi Shanshan conveyed.As an Artifact Spirit, her perception extended beyond the ordinary."A seal?" Xu Nian acknowledged the God King Sword as his own.Before long, he too discerned the presence of a seal on the God King Sword.However, the seal appeared exceptionally potent, and his current strength was utterly incapable of dislodging it.For the time being, he had no choice but to relinquish the attempt."Who would have thought I would stumble upon an abandoned treasure here," Xu Nian thought with burgeoning delight.His fortune had truly smiled upon him on this occasion."Wang Ming, you contemptible wretch, how dare you assault me, your own senior sister?"Yet, just as Xu Nian was contemplating his departure, a furious cry echoed.Xu Nian's brow furrowed.He turned his gaze toward the source of the vocalization.In the distance, two figures were locked in a fierce battle.One a man, the other a woman.The woman was demonstrably at a disadvantage, presently struggling to parry the man's onslaughts.It was this very woman whose voice had just pierced the air.Nevertheless, the might of both combatants was undeniably considerable.Especially the woman, whose cultivation had ascended to the ranks of a Top-grade Divine Level expert.Despite this, the woman was visibly wounded, her Divine Soul Power noticeably depleted.As for the man, his cultivation hovered only at the Mid-grade Divine-level.Were it not for the woman's grievous injuries, he would have stood no chance against her whatsoever.Xu Nian, by nature, had no inclination to intervene.However, the pair were steadily advancing towards his location, and both had by now detected Xu Nian's presence.
