Divine King of Honour Chapter 1896: The Opening of the Third Level

"These are your identity tokens. From today onward, you are members of the Netherworld God Temple. You may choose any location below the mountainside to establish your own cave dwelling. As for above the mountainside, entry is forbidden without permission," said a law enforcement elder with white hair and beard as he approached.

While he did not deliberately emit an aura of pressure, he exuded a unique majesty characteristic of a god-level expert.

This majesty made Xu Nian and the others feel as though they were facing an immovable giant mountain.

"This is definitely an expert at mid-level God or higher," Xu Nian mused to himself.

He did not release divine soul power for probing, as it would be extremely disrespectful.

"Moreover, upon entering the Netherworld God Temple, every ten years you must undertake a mission, while the remaining time is yours to manage. There, I’ve said all that needs to be said. The rest is contained in this jade scroll, take a look yourselves." The elder gave each person a jade scroll, then his form flickered and he vanished from sight.

"So fast!"

Xu Nian was startled.

He hadn’t even seen how the elder left.

The speed isn’t instant teleportation, but it’s absolutely comparable.

After the elder left, the surrounding people also began to disperse.

Xu Nian planned to find a place to establish his cave dwelling first.

Just as he was about to leave, a venomous gaze fell upon him.

Xu Nian instinctively sensed it, and discovered that the owner of the gaze was Tan Long.

It was clear the incident with Li Tianxue’s death at Xu Nian’s hands was known to him.

If it weren’t for the prohibition on fighting within the Netherworld God Temple, he would’ve likely attacked Xu Nian long ago.

"Do you dare face me on the Life and Death Platform?" Tan Long conveyed coldly to Xu Nian.

"Not interested!" Xu Nian did not turn his head, transforming into a stream of light and evading to seek his own abode.

Xu Nian’s purpose here was naturally to find the Netherworld Lord, rather than to bicker with these individuals, so he disdained engaging with this fellow.

If they truly sought him out, Xu Nian wouldn’t mind employing measures to take them down.

"Damn it!" Tan Long’s fists clenched, eyes burning with fury.

This guy dared to ignore him, how could he tolerate it?

He vowed in his heart that one day he would kill this guy.

...

Soon, Xu Nian established his cave dwelling in a remote cliff area.

He set a defensive array at the cave entrance.

The facilities inside were decently complete.

Xu Nian sat cross-legged inside the cave dwelling, a thoughtful expression on his face.

How could he meet the Netherworld Lord?

This Netherworld God Temple’s little world is so vast, and they are prohibited from ascending the mountainside. Moreover, it is unclear whether the Netherworld Lord is even in the Netherworld God Temple’s little world, leaving Xu Nian feeling somewhat helpless.

However, at least he had entered the Netherworld God Temple now.

And with the Chaos Divine Palace present, Murong Xue would not be in any life-threatening danger even after hundreds of years.

"I suggest you try to break through to the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace now," Emperor Ye Tian’s voice resounded in Xu Nian’s mind.

"Break through to the third level? I’m not even at the divine level, can I attempt the third level?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.

"Of course you can. Currently, in terms of personal strength or soul realm, you’ve reached the divine level and are virtually indistinguishable from divine-level experts, only lacking Godhood. Why not? Furthermore, the Chaos Divine Palace primarily focuses on the divine soul realm," explained Emperor Ye Tian.

Xu Nian was delighted upon hearing this.

If he truly could break through to the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace, Murong Xue would be safe for at least ten thousand years.

This way, even if he couldn’t find the Netherworld Lord or obtain news of the Divine Tomb, he could await entry to the Divine World and directly grant Murong Xue a god-level Divine Position.

As such, the evolution of the Devouring God Worm would be expedited a thousand-fold, needing only a few decades.

A few decades for divine-level experts is but a blink of the eye.

With this thought, Xu Nian hesitated no more.

He immediately gathered divine soul power, aiming to break through to the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace.

"Buzz!"

Vast divine soul power surged against the barrier of the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace.

For the first time, Xu Nian felt immense resistance.

Yet, as Xu Nian pushed forward, the barrier actually loosened.

This made Xu Nian ecstatic, eagerly gathering divine soul power for another assault.

Finally, after three days, he successfully broke through the barrier of the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace.

"Buzz!"

Upon materializing within the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace, Xu Nian’s gaze swept over the expansive, plain-like landscape, filling his heart with elation.

Without the slightest delay, Xu Nian orchestrated the transfer of Murong Xue, Emperor Ye Tian, and the others from the second level into this new, vast expanse.

Murong Xue’s domain, by its very nature, implemented time-dilating rules, effectively slowing time within its confines to a trickle—a thousand times slower than the outside world.

Consequently, a mere ten years spent within the Chaos Divine Palace equated to a staggering ten millennia passing in the world beyond.

Meanwhile, Emperor Ye Tian, his primary self, the Nine Infant, and the Divine Demon Avatar all operated under the original temporal acceleration principles of the Chaos Divine Palace.

Thus, all three of his avatars benefited from a cultivation speed amplified a thousand-fold compared to the external reality.

This strategic arrangement undeniably propelled Xu Nian’s cultivation progression to heights previously unimaginable.

Furthermore, the Devouring God Worm and the Seven-colored Bodhi Tree were also relocated to this accelerated environment.

With all preparations complete, Xu Nian withdrew the consciousness of his soul avatar from the interior of the Chaos Divine Palace.

"Now, there's no need to rush. I can calmly delve into the Netherworld God Temple and ascertain if any other materials are required for the creation of god-level puppets," Xu Nian contemplated.

Presently, to forge puppets of god-level caliber, beyond the necessity of a god-level Divine Position, he required Red Moon Snow Gold and Glazed Jade.

The Taicang Sword Formation, on the other hand, specifically demanded Black Nether Gold.

As the preeminent power within the Netherworld, the Netherworld God Temple’s Treasure Pavilion was, by natural extension, the absolute pinnacle of such establishments.

How could Xu Nian possibly overlook such an invaluable opportunity?

Driven by this intent, he set a course towards the Netherworld God Temple’s Treasure Pavilion.

Before long, he reached the Treasure Pavilion situated on the mountainside.

This locale functioned as the central exchange nexus within the Netherworld God Temple, a place where one could not only procure coveted treasures but also offer them for sale to the Temple itself.

Therefore, aside from the Task Hall, this was the most frequently visited destination for the members of the Netherworld God Temple.

Xu Nian gazed upon the resplendent gates of the Treasure Pavilion, his astonishment deepening with every glance.

The sheer scale of the Treasure Pavilion surpassed even his wildest estimations, sprawling across ten thousand square meters and meticulously divided into three distinct levels.

Never before had Xu Nian encountered a Treasure Pavilion of such immense proportions.

With a heart brimming with anticipation, Xu Nian stepped through the grand entrance.

Inside, a vibrant throng filled the space; some individuals were engrossed in discussions about cultivation practices, while others were engaged in the lively negotiation of transactions.

Every single person present, without exception, possessed divine-level cultivation, with an occasional scattering of truly god-level powerhouses.

This spectacle left Xu Nian utterly speechless.

The Netherworld, it seemed, truly lived up to its reputation as the
