Divine King of Honour Chapter 1904: The Two Divine Beasts

Xu Nian remained oblivious to Ye Shumin’s clandestine conversation. Even if the details had reached him, they would have held no sway over his thoughts. From his perspective, it was perfectly natural for Ye Shumin and the others to withhold information from him. After all, his personal connections with Ye Shumin and their group were not particularly deep, and more importantly, he had already attained the rewards he sought. As for any additional treasures, Xu Nian harbored no further ambitions—acquiring them would be a bonus, but he wouldn't actively pursue them.

"Could this be Dragon Flame Mountain? What a formidable fire attribute aura emanates from here. One might even ponder if Divine-level experts would dare to approach these infernos lightly?" Xu Nian’s gaze fell upon the colossal mountain engulfed in perpetual flames before him, a trace of astonishment coloring his expression. The perpetual fires of Dragon Flame Mountain possessed an exceptionally terrifying heat. Standard soul bodies venturing too close would undoubtedly be incinerated by these flames, leaving no trace behind. Consequently, even Xu Nian hesitated to approach Dragon Flame Mountain directly.

"That Red Scorching Golden Eagle ought to be dwelling within Dragon Flame Mountain. I approached it head-on, and it showed no reaction. It appears I must devise a method to provoke it," Xu Nian mused internally. Moments prior, he had distinctly perceived an incredibly menacing aura concealed within Dragon Flame Mountain. This formidable presence rivaled that of the Nine-headed Golden Lion, strongly suggesting it was his intended quarry, the Red Scorching Golden Eagle. His next step was to incite it and lure it into the nearby forest. But how to provoke such a beast?

A faint smile touched Xu Nian’s lips as he, without further hesitation, plunged towards Dragon Flame Mountain. Upon reaching a distance of one hundred zhang from the fiery peak, Xu Nian halted. Then, without uttering a word, he drew forth the God King Sword and unleashed two arcs of Sword Radiance, infused with an Ice Attribute Dao skill, directly at Dragon Flame Mountain. Having accomplished this, Xu Nian swiftly summoned the Wind Spirit Wings, pushing the Wind Attribute Dao law to its absolute limit. In an instant, Xu Nian’s velocity surged dramatically, becoming nearly indistinguishable from Instant Teleportation.

Had Ye Shumin and her companions been present, they would undoubtedly have been profoundly astonished. This was because the Wind Attribute True Intent that Xu Nian was currently wielding had already reached the Sixth Level Heaven. Indeed, after five thousand years of dedicated cultivation, Xu Nian’s Wind Attribute Great Dao Truth had long since undergone a massive breakthrough. Consequently, the speed generated by the Wind Spirit Wings he employed far surpassed that of an average Early Stage God-level expert. This mastery was the very reason Xu Nian dared to venture here.

"Seeking your own demise!" As Xu Nian was making his rapid escape, a terrifyingly sharp voice echoed ominously. Subsequently, a colossal figure erupted from within Dragon Flame Mountain, ascending into the heavens, its immense wings casting a vast shadow across the sky. With a single beat of its wings, an incredibly fearsome cyclone materialized instantaneously, hurtling directly towards Xu Nian. Originally, Xu Nian had already retreated a distance of ten li, but to his surprise, the Red Scorching Golden Eagle's speed proved even more astounding. Within moments, it had closed the gap to a mere three kilometers, appearing as if it would overtake Xu Nian in the very next instant.

"Such incredible speed; this must be the velocity of a flight-specialized God-level Demon Beast!" Xu Nian expressed his profound amazement. He had not anticipated the Red Scorching Golden Eagle to be so overwhelmingly formidable. With this realization, Xu Nian ceased to hold back and unleashed the Seventh Level realm of the Wind Attribute Great Dao True Meaning. Instantly, Xu Nian’s speed escalated once more. "Hmph, ignorant human." The Red Scorching Golden Eagle observed Xu Nian’s sudden burst of speed but displayed no surprise; instead, its demeanor shifted to one of even greater disdain.

Then, a torrent of flames surged forth from the Red Scorching Golden Eagle. As the inferno was unleashed, the Red Scorching Golden Eagle's speed skyrocketed once more. This time, the distance Xu Nian had managed to establish was instantaneously reduced to within a hundred zhang. In the ensuing moment, it was poised to catch up to Xu Nian. Being pursued by a God-level Divine Beast was, without question, a terrifying ordeal. Xu Nian glanced ahead; at this critical juncture, he was approximately ten li from the Original Forest. The prospect of reaching the Original Forest before the Red Scorching Golden Eagle could apprehend him now seemed utterly impossible.

"Prepare to meet your end!" The Red Scorching Golden Eagle had already closed in on Xu Nian, expelling a terrifyingly potent red flame from its maw. This flame coalesced into a Sword Radiance, streaking violently towards Xu Nian. Sensing the dreadful aura closing in behind him, Xu Nian’s body instantly flickered, utilizing the agility granted by the Wind Spirit Wings to skillfully evade the incoming attack. His figure then shifted once more, fragmenting into nine distinct bodies, each darting towards the Original Forest from a different direction. This maneuver was a masterful application of the Nine Infant Avatar's profound secret technique, the Nine Elements Avatar Technique.

By utilizing this avatar technique, each projected duplicate would hold eighty percent of the original's might.

Consequently, even with a diminished speed, these avatars would effectively buy precious time.

Indeed, the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle found itself unable to distinguish the true Xu Nian, forced to pursue and dismantle them one by one.

One avatar after another was violently rent asunder or immolated upon the spot.

However, this sacrifice allowed Xu Nian to gain the necessary moments to escape through flight.

As the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle obliterated the eighth avatar, Xu Nian's Soul Avatar neared the boundaries of the Original Forest.

"Seeking your own demise!"

The Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle was instantly consumed by fury.

Despite realizing Xu Nian's entry into the Original Forest, the humiliation of being manipulated ignited its rage.

It immediately propelled itself at maximum velocity towards the Original Forest.

Sensing the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle hurtling towards him, a subtle smile graced Xu Nian's features.

From a distance, Ye Shumin and Qiao Baiyun observed, their astonishment evident.

They had not anticipated Xu Nian's audacious plan to lure the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle to this location.

How had Xu Nian managed such a feat?

But this was not the moment for contemplation; their priority was to meticulously conceal their presence, await the arrival of the Nine-headed Golden Lion, and exploit the opportunity to infiltrate its domain.

Soon, Xu Nian successfully penetrated the Original Forest.

Upon entering the verdant expanse, Xu Nian continued to fly for a short duration before making the decisive move to enter the Chaos Divine Palace.

Once within the confines of the Chaos Divine Palace, Xu Nian's presence dissipated entirely.

The very essence of the Chaos Divine Palace melded with a colossal tree, rendering it undetectable, invisible even to an expert of God-level might.

The Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle, having lost its quarry, erupted in immediate wrath.

Opening its immense maw, it unleashed torrents of devastating flames, transforming the surrounding forest into a blazing inferno.

"Featherless bird of prey, do you court annihilation? How dare you wreak havoc in this territory?"

At that precise instant, the resonant voice of the Nine-headed Golden Lion echoed through the air.

Following its declaration, a golden silhouette surged forth from the forest's depths, confronting the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle.

Xu Nian, positioned within the concealed Chaos Divine Palace, felt a surge of exhilaration at this development.

"Hmph, Nine-headed Lion, relinquish the human, or face my unbridled wrath," the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle retorted with a sneer.

It unequivocally attributed the human's sudden vanishing act to the Nine-headed Golden Lion's intervention.

How else could a mere human dissolve into thin air?

"Human? What human are you referring to? If you seek a human, direct your search elsewhere; there is none here. I shall issue this warning only once: cease disturbing my contemplation." The Nine-headed Golden Lion delivered its ultimatum coldly.

"Have you genuinely not encountered this human?" the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle inquired skeptically.

"I did indeed cross paths with a few impudent humans who overestimated their capabilities, but they fled; they are certainly not present here. You were likely lured here intentionally by them," the Nine-headed Golden Lion stated with a frigid snort.

"So, this human intended to utilize me to impede your progress." The Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle suddenly let out a dry chuckle.

The Nine-headed Golden Lion's demeanor shifted dramatically upon hearing this revelation.

It too detected the approach of two distinct figures hurtling towards its domain.

However, the Crimson Scorching Golden Eagle remained undeterred before it, preventing an immediate withdrawal.
