Divine King of Honour Chapter 1884: Void Abyss
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Ten Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons now encircled Xu Nian. Though their immense forms had diminished, their potent aura waned considerably compared to before.
Despite the reduction in size, their strength remained formidable, still well above the God Level.
This display left Xu Nian in a state of surprise.
He surmised that the Red Blood Sky Blue Python had employed a Divine Skill akin to an avatar technique.
The effectiveness of this particular Divine Skill was quite apparent.
It possessed the ability to divide its physical form into ten separate entities, with each subordinate body retaining one-fifth of the original's might.
This capability unequivocally demonstrated the Red Blood Sky Blue Python's remarkable Divine Skill.
"Human, you cannot hope to escape. This is my domain," the Red Blood Sky Blue Python taunted.
Its gaze bore down on Xu Nian as if observing a cornered animal, laced with condescending mockery.
However, a subtle smile played on the corner of Xu Nian's lips.
He found the dispersal of the Red Blood Sky Blue Python's strength to be advantageous, a situation he welcomed with open arms.
"Buzz!"
In the ensuing moment, Xu Nian launched himself directly at one of the Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons.
"Daring to court death!"
Upon witnessing Xu Nian's direct assault, the targeted Red Blood Sky Blue Python immediately scoffed.
It was the equivalent of a firefly's weak glow daring to challenge the brilliance of the sun and moon.
The very next instant, the Red Blood Sky Blue Python unleashed a surge of terrifying power, hurtling towards Xu Nian.
Its speed was absolutely astonishing, moving with exceptional swiftness.
Such tremendous velocity was far beyond the capacity of any ordinary Divine-level Expert to withstand.
"Puchi!"
But just as the Red Blood Sky Blue Python anticipated devouring Xu Nian in a single gulp...
Xu Nian's figure abruptly bifurcated. One of the newly formed Xu Nians, wielding the God King Sword, unleashed a flash of icy brilliance.
In the blink of an eye, the Red Blood Sky Blue Python was cleaved into two distinct halves.
"Roar!"
The remaining nine Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons emitted groans of agony in unison.
It was evident that the demise of one Python had a tangible effect on the other nine.
This outcome aligned perfectly with Xu Nian's expectations.
Such secret techniques invariably came with a price.
The destruction of an avatar inevitably inflicted substantial damage upon the original entity.
At this juncture, the two Xu Nians stood shoulder to shoulder. They calmly surveyed the fallen corpse of a Red Blood Sky Blue Python at their feet and then turned their composed gazes towards the nine enraged pythons, their eyes burning crimson in the distance.
Indeed, the figure accompanying the Soul Avatar was Xu Nian's own Nine Infant Avatar.
The cultivation base of the Nine Infant Avatar had also reached the pinnacle of Demon Emperor Perfection, and its soul had achieved the esteemed quality of a Divine Soul.
"I will obliterate you!" the Red Blood Sky Blue Python bellowed in pure fury.
Following this declaration, all nine remaining avatars simultaneously charged at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian observed the nine charging avatars without the slightest hesitation, transforming into a streak of light to make his escape.
Having successfully created an opening, Xu Nian saw no reason to prolong the engagement with the Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons.
At this precise moment, Xu Nian had already recalled his Soul Avatar and bestowed the Supreme Dragon Robe upon the Nine Infant Avatar.
Given that the Nine Infant Avatar belonged to the Snake Clan, it possessed a natural affinity and mastery over the Water Attribute Dao.
Consequently, its speed within aquatic environments far surpassed that of his true form and his other avatars.
When this inherent advantage was augmented by the boost from the Supreme Dragon Robe, Xu Nian's overall speed experienced a dramatic surge.
However, even with this significant acceleration, Xu Nian's speed was still insufficient to outrun a God Level Expert indefinitely.
Therefore, it was not long before Xu Nian began to show signs of being overtaken.
"It appears I must resort to consuming the Black Magic Sky Mushroom," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
With immediate effect, he procured a piece of the mushroom and placed it into his mouth.
The instant the Black Magic Sky Mushroom dissolved within him, it transformed into an essence of unparalleled purity, permeating every part of Xu Nian's being.
In the following moment, Xu Nian's aura erupted, escalating dramatically.
His entire physique seemed to radiate an inexhaustible wellspring of potential.
One had to concede, the Black Magic Sky Mushroom was truly an extraordinary item.
Even at Xu Nian's advanced cultivation level, it could still unlock such immense latent power from within his body, a truly astonishing feat.
"Bang!"
Following the ingestion of the Black Magic Sky Mushroom, the Nine Infant Avatar's speed increased exponentially.
"Uh?"
The Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons displayed clear expressions of profound astonishment upon witnessing this sudden acceleration.
"Damn it!"
They uttered curses in unison.
They had never anticipated that this troublesome human could evade them with such startling swiftness.
Moreover, this individual had foolishly chosen to proceed in that specific direction.
Did he not comprehend that it led directly into the endless Void Abyss?
Even they, beings of immense power, hesitated to venture into such a place.
For this audacious human to head there, if that was not a blatant act of seeking his own demise, then what was?
"Hmph, this human is as good as doomed. What a pity about the treasures he carried," the Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons declared after pursuing for a short distance, before halting their chase.
Gazing after Xu Nian, their eyes harbored pure disdain.
"Eh! Why did they cease their pursuit?"
Xu Nian pressed onward, his escape a little further, only for the Red Blood Sky Blue Pythons to abruptly halt their pursuit.
This caused Xu Nian a moment of bewilderment.
However, his bewilderment was short-lived as he soon perceived something was gravely wrong.
He felt an oppressive sensation, as if he were being drawn into a viscous mire.
Despite his strenuous efforts, he found himself unable to break free from this inescapable grip.
It was as if every struggle only served to tighten the hold of a formidable power, dragging him inexorably towards a shadowy abyss.
"Could this be the dreaded Void Abyss they spoke of? Confound it, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings while fleeing," Xu Nian cursed himself inwardly.
He had never anticipated finding himself plunged into the Void Abyss.
The situation had instantly become perilous.
After all, the true nature of the Void Abyss remains a mystery to all.
It was entirely possible that it was an endless void, a place from which one might never return for the rest of their life.
In this dire moment, he possessed no other recourse.
All he could do was allow his form to plummet into the depths of the Void Abyss.
"Hmph, a foolish mortal." Witnessing Xu Nian's descent into the Void Abyss, the Red Blood Sky Blue Python let out a sneer before dissolving into a stream of light and departing the scene.
The destruction of its avatar had cost it a fraction of its power, a loss that would likely require millennia to recuperate.
Shortly after the Red Blood Sky Blue Python's departure, a figure of exquisite grace materialized at the precipice of the Void Abyss.
"Xu Nian has fallen into the Void Abyss?" Chen Qingyu's countenance was etched with alarm.
It was evident that she had been stealthily trailing him, cloaking her aura, all the way to this desolate location.
Yet, she had remained unaware that Xu Nian's presence would simply vanish here.
This realization instantly filled her with profound distress.
Abruptly, it seemed she reached an incredibly significant and perhaps irreversible decision.
Casting her gaze upon the yawning Void Abyss before her, which resembled the gaping maw of some primeval leviathan, her eyes suddenly blazed with unwavering resolve.
Without further hesitation, she took a decisive leap, plunging directly into the treacherous expanse of the Void Abyss.
Immediately, she too was subjected to the same terrifying, irresistible suction.
Her entire being was pulled uncontrollably towards the most profound depths of the Void Abyss.
Yet, Chen Qingyu's features betrayed not a flicker of panic.
On the contrary, an indomitable determination radiated from her.
Had Xu Nian been present to witness this, he would undoubtedly have concluded that Chen Qingyu had lost her sanity.
To willingly cast herself into this dreadful Void Abyss was an act beyond comprehension.
It was widely understood that not a single soul had ever emerged from its depths.
Irrespective of their strength!
Chen Qingyu's impetuous action was synonymous with courting her own demise.
"Another foolish human." The Red Blood Sky Blue Python, seeming to sense Chen Qingyu's approaching aura, directed its attention towards her descending form and uttered with undisguised disdain.
