Divine King of Honour Chapter 1889: Farewell

At the very moment Xu Nian was engaged in teleportation with Chen Qingyu.

Within a rugged mountain expanse in the hazardous Hell Space, a group comprised of over a dozen individuals was locked in a fierce battle, surrounding a colossal ape that was at the God-level.

This ape was not only gargantuan, its entire form swathed in dark, dense fur, but it also boasted a pair of immense, expansive wings.

Its eyes, burning with a terrifying crimson hue, radiated a fearsome, potent aura, reminiscent of a blood-red moon.

"Boom!"

With a devastating sweep of its massive hand, the giant ape struck, instantly obliterating three experts at the Divine level.

These fallen experts, each at the Mid-stage of the Divine level, possessed considerable might in their own right.

Yet, in the face of the raging ape, they were utterly defenseless.

Witnessing this brutal display from a distance, the expressions of numerous other Divine-level experts shifted dramatically.

This great ape was indeed terrifying, a true Hell Demon Ape of God-level prowess. And their current directive was, incredibly, to vanquish this very creature.

It was critical to note that while this Hell Demon Ape was only at the Early Level of God cultivation, its raw strength was comparable to that of a seasoned Middle Stage God-level super expert.

Furthermore, it was protected by the legendary Vajra Undying Body.

No matter the fury of their assaults, none could penetrate the ape's impenetrable defenses.

Originally a contingent of more than twenty, their numbers had dwindled to a mere eleven or twelve.

This mission, under such dire circumstances, had become an insurmountable challenge for them.

Yet, among the remaining eleven or twelve, a solitary young man, exuding an air of profound mystery, stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

His visage was as refined as jade, his stature imposing, and his eyes, in particular, seemed to hold a gaze that surveyed the world from a position of ultimate superiority.

From the commencement of the conflict until this very moment, he had remained entirely inactive.

Despite his non-involvement, the surrounding Divine-level experts dared not voice a single word of complaint.

Finally, the young man's demeanor shifted to one of palpable impatience. Casting his gaze upon the colossal ape before him, he drew forth a sword without hesitation.

In the subsequent instant, an overwhelmingly potent Great Dao True Intent erupted from the young man, a surge of power that shook the very air.

The giant ape, sensing the dire threat emanating from the youth, let out a furious roar and charged directly at him.

"You court death!"

The young man's lips curled into a sneer as he brought down the divine sword he held with a decisive slash.

The great ape, which had previously seemed impervious to all attacks, was decapitated with a single, flawless strike.

Its colossal head tumbled away, and an unnerving silence descended upon the battlefield.

The assembled Divine-level experts gazed at the young man, their eyes wide with unadulterated terror.

Unperturbed by their astonished stares, the young man made a subtle gesture, absorbing the godhood essence of the fallen ape.

He then departed the scene with an air of utter disdain.

"Fifth-level? The peak of the Divine level?"

After the young man had vanished, one of the Divine-level experts in the crowd exclaimed, a dawning realization in his voice.

A collective sigh swept through the survivors as they shook their heads in resignation.

The mission was a catastrophic failure; however, they had managed, by sheer fortune, to preserve their lives.

But to have encountered such a terrifyingly powerful young man was an event far beyond their comprehension.

Meanwhile, near a secluded expanse of water.

Another young man was engaged in an equally ferocious combat, locked in a life-or-death struggle with an Asura at the peak of the Divine level.

With ruthless precision, the young man advanced, relentlessly forcing the Asura into a defensive retreat.

Any Divine-level experts who had considered intervening wisely chose to withdraw, sensing the overwhelming power at play.

Finally, the young man unleashed a devastating blast of Thunder Attribute Gun Light, felling the Asura with a single, explosive shot.

Had Xu Nian been present, he would have recognized this formidable youth as Tan Long, a prominent figure from Futu Mountain.

Elsewhere, within the depths of a dense, ancient forest.

A woman unleashed a potent Gold Attribute True Intent, her power overwhelming a Dhruva Ancient Tree Demon that stood at the peak of the Divine level, bringing about its demise.

It was clear that all three individuals were beings of exceptional caliber.

Similar intense battles were unfolding across the entirety of the shattered hellish dimension.

Naturally, many powerful cultivators met their end at the fangs of ferocious Hell Beasts, or stumbled upon potent, mysterious divine prohibitions, only to be annihilated by the terrifying forces of these Ancient Divine Prohibitions.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian and Chen Qingyu materialized atop a towering mountain peak.

This particular peak was situated not far from the lake where Xu Nian and his party had previously been.

"We're finally out," Xu Nian breathed, a profound sense of relief washing over him as he beheld the world beyond the hellish realm.

Chen Qingyu shared in his elation.

"What are your plans now? Will you continue with the assigned task?" Chen Qingyu inquired, her gaze fixed on Xu Nian.

"Yes, the mission must be completed. I am determined to slay the Red Blood Sky Blue Python," Xu Nian responded with unwavering resolve.

Upon hearing his declaration, a complex mixture of emotions flickered across Chen Qingyu's countenance.

"You do not need to accompany me. Your cultivation has significantly weakened, and it would be best for you to depart this place. I can accomplish this task on my own," Xu Nian stated, seeming to perceive Chen Qingyu's underlying concerns.

Chen Qingyu's cultivation level had regrettably plummeted to the Early Stage of the Divine level.

While her Divine Soul Power had shown some recovery, the depletion of her origin divine soul power was a wound that would require a considerable duration to mend.

"Are you truly capable of succeeding alone? If the task proves too arduous, do not force yourself beyond your limits," Chen Qingyu implored, biting her crimson lip.

"Understood!" Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

With his affirmation, Chen Qingyu prepared to activate her imprinted mark, signaling her intent to withdraw from the Hell Fragment Space.

Any participant in the assessment had the option to withdraw and depart by activating a special divine seal. However, such a decision would signify a complete failure in their assessment.

"Xu Fenn, may I ask you something?" Chen Qingyu decided to ask at this opportune moment.

"What is it?" Xu Nian's expression shifted to one of slight awkwardness, sensing that Chen Qingyu's impending question might put him in a difficult position.

"Would you be willing to become my Taoist couple?" Chen Qingyu uttered these words with a deep blush, her head lowered. It was evident that her confession had cost her considerable effort.

Xu Nian could only offer a wry smile.

The moment he had anticipated had arrived, yet Xu Nian harbored no romantic inclinations toward Chen Qingyu.

"Miss Chen, I fear you will be disappointed. I am not truly from the Underworld, nor do I intend to remain here for long. My plan is to depart once I achieve my objective, and it's possible I may even ascend to the Divine World..." Xu Nian hesitated before articulating his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's eyebrows immediately drew together in a frown.

Ascend to the Divine World?

Individuals from the Underworld were generally unable to ascend to the Divine World unless through extraordinary circumstances. Yet, such a feat was practically insurmountable for her.

"Alright, I understand. Let us meet again if fate permits," Chen Qingyu responded, her disappointment palpable. She now grasped Xu Nian's resolute stance.

As for compelling Xu Nian to remain for her sake, she lacked the conviction to even consider it.

"Miss Chen, my true name is Xu Nian." Just as Chen Qingyu was about to activate the divine seal to depart, Xu Nian felt compelled to speak.

"Xu Nian?" The mention of this name brought a sudden smile to Chen Qingyu's face.

Shortly after, her elegant silhouette vanished from sight.

Observing Chen Qingyu's retreating form, Xu Nian also experienced a wave of mixed emotions. He and Chen Qingyu clearly belonged to separate worlds, with little chance of their paths ever truly crossing again.

He then shook his head, dispelling the jumble of thoughts, and swiftly advanced towards the Red Blood Sky Blue Python. His immediate priority was to vanquish this formidable beast as quickly as possible.
