Divine King of Honour Chapter 1886: Sudden Danger

Xu Nian was absolutely thrilled to acquire the Rebirth Pearls.

These three Rebirth Pearls were indeed supreme treasures, perfectly suited for refining God-tier Puppets.

Each of the three Rebirth Pearls — black, red, and blue — represented a distinct attribute.

The black pearl signified the Darkness attribute, the red signified the Fire Attribute, and the blue signified the Thunderclap Attribute.

All he required was a God-tier corpse, and then he could directly inhabit the individual's body via these Rebirth Pearls, utilizing them to foster a new soul.

This newly nurtured soul would then be completely subservient to Xu Nian's will.

The crucial aspect was that these three puppets possessed the ability to cultivate independently, holding the potential to ascend to the Daluo God Level, and at their zenith, they could mature into God Kings.

This was an incredibly potent, almost heaven-defying capability.

One must recognize that three Daluo God Level puppets, or even God King Level puppets, would undoubtedly represent existences that defied the natural order.

"It appears I must proactively seek out some powerful God-tier corpses," Xu Nian murmured inwardly.

He harbored no intention of squandering these three God Pearls carelessly; the corpses he sought needed to be paragons of talent within their respective attributes.

With this thought, Xu Nian carefully stored the three Rebirth Pearls.

He then resumed his examination of the surrounding space.

Aside from this altar and the two treasures they had already claimed, there was nothing else of note.

Ultimately, Xu Nian's gaze remained fixed upon the enigmatic altar.

"I wonder about the true purpose of this altar," Xu Nian mused, circling it with a perplexed expression.

Chen Qingyu, standing nearby, also wore a contemplative look. Suddenly, as if a realization struck her, her delicate face flushed a deep scarlet.

"What's amiss?" Xu Nian inquired, noticing the peculiar change in Chen Qingyu's demeanor.

"N-nothing, it's just... I feel this altar bears a striking resemblance to a legendary Formation," Chen Qingyu stammered, her voice barely audible.

This response only deepened Xu Nian's bewilderment.

Chen Qingyu's cheeks grew even more crimson with embarrassment.

She seemed hesitant to meet Xu Nian's questioning gaze.

"What Formation is it?" Xu Nian pressed, still confused.

"The Taiyin Miao Sheng Shuang Shen Array," Chen Qingyu finally replied.

As she uttered the name of this Formation, her lovely face flushed an even more intense shade of red.

"What sort of Formation is that?" Xu Nian asked, his curiosity piqued.

"It's a type of auxiliary Dual Cultivation Formation. Legend has it that when a man and woman engage in Dual Cultivation within this array, they can collectively comprehend the Great Dao of heaven and earth, leading to an effect that amplifies Insight and cultivation speed manifold," Chen Qingyu explained.

"There exists such an auxiliary Formation? Then this altar...?" Xu Nian instantly grasped the reason for Chen Qingyu's evident blushing.

Despite her reaching the pinnacle of the Divine level, she remained, at heart, a maiden yet to experience intimacy.

Consequently, discussions pertaining to Dual Cultivation naturally induced such shyness in her.

Xu Nian himself was not particularly bothered; he was merely pondering whether this altar was indeed an auxiliary altar for male-female Dual Cultivation.

If that were its sole purpose, then for him, it held minimal research value.

After all, the notion of him engaging in Dual Cultivation with Chen Qingyu was simply not on the table, was it?

Therefore, Xu Nian abandoned any further contemplation of the altar and began devising strategies to escape this Mysterious Space.

Xu Nian even drew forth the God King Sword and the Star Axe, striking at the surrounding void twice.

However, each time his attacks impacted the black walls enclosing them, the dark-golden characters inscribed upon the walls would illuminate.

Furthermore, his offensive strikes were effortlessly absorbed by the walls.

Witnessing this phenomenon, Xu Nian's brows immediately knit together in a tight frown.

Could it be that this space was truly inescapable?

Just as Xu Nian's heart began to churn with anxiety—

Chen Qingyu, standing nearby, suddenly spoke, "Xu Nian, look over here."

Following her pointing finger towards a stone pillar, Xu Nian saw her delicate face alight with surprise.

Xu Nian approached the pillar and discovered an inscription etched upon its surface.

"This space is the Black Origin Spirit space I established. The means to exit this space are located within this altar. I trust you will discover them yourselves," Xu Nian read aloud the words inscribed on the pillar.

This revelation caused Xu Nian's brows to furrow once more.

In the end, could he not bypass this altar?

Could it be that he was genuinely expected to engage in Dual Cultivation with Chen Qingyu upon it?

Yet, very quickly, Xu Nian dismissed the thought.

He reasoned that this altar might not necessarily be connected to the Formation Chen Qingyu had described.

What if this altar possessed an entirely different function?

Consequently, Xu Nian walked directly onto the altar and assumed a cross-legged seated position.

He resolved to attempt to use his Divine Sense to probe the altar, hoping to uncover some novel insight.

However, in the end, Xu Nian was met with profound disappointment.

"How about I give it a shot?" Chen Qingyu's voice, tinged with hesitation, broke the silence. It seemed like a monumental decision had been made.

"Alright!" Xu Nian pondered for a moment before descending from the altar.

Chen Qingyu then ascended, leaping onto the altar's surface. Her peach-blossom eyes began to emit a faint Divine Light. Steeling her resolve, she pricked her finger, allowing a drop of her essence blood to descend upon the altar.

A look of deep puzzlement crossed Xu Nian's face. Could this altar possibly require essence blood to awaken its power?

However, the moment Chen Qingyu's blood touched the altar, not a single ripple of reaction occurred. Xu Nian couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It appeared this altar was far from what Chen Qingyu had anticipated.

Chen Qingyu herself displayed a similar surprise, clearly baffled as to why her action had yielded no discernible effect.

"Buzz!"

Precisely as confusion clouded Chen Qingyu's features—

The altar suddenly began to tremble. The Divine Patterns etched upon its surface blazed with an incandescent radiance.

In the blink of an eye, this brilliant glow transformed into an immensely powerful force, directly ensnaring Chen Qingyu. Despite her desperate struggles, she was utterly incapable of breaking free.

Then, Xu Nian watched in horror as the altar began voraciously consuming Chen Qingyu's Soul Power. "Hahaha, I never imagined after such a long wait, I'd finally feast on such a delectable meal," a raspy, ancient voice echoed from the depths of the altar.

Xu Nian's expression shifted dramatically upon hearing this. Just as he suspected, this altar was indeed a treacherous trap.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingyu's Divine Soul Power was being relentlessly drained. In mere moments, half of her power was gone. Her cultivation level plummeted from the Peak of Divine to the Early Stage Divine.

"Release her!" Xu Nian roared, drawing the God King Sword and unleashing a powerful slash towards the altar. The altar instantly fractured into pieces, and the force siphoning Chen Qingyu's soul ceased its relentless pull.

Xu Nian's figure blurred as he swiftly moved to the side, cradling the incredibly weakened Chen Qingyu. It was then he truly grasped the horrifying truth: this so-called altar was no Dual Cultivation Altar at all. It was a vile construct designed solely to steal others' Divine Soul Power.

The architect of this wicked device had been lurking within, concealed all along. "Show yourself! Stop hiding your true form," Xu Nian commanded, his voice sharp.

"Hahaha, brat, not bad. You actually managed to shatter my altar," a chilling voice responded. emergeing from above the ruined altar, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared, exuding an aura of icy allure. This was the ancient crone who had been devouring Chen Qingyu's soul.

Xu Nian could not help but be momentarily mesmerized by her appearance, a flicker of infatuation crossing his gaze. However, he rapidly regained his composure, instantly classifying her as a formidable enemy. "Charm-type Divine Skills?" Xu Nian mused in shock.
