Divine King of Honour Chapter 1909: Seizing the Divine Pill
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
A Corpse of a God?
The powerhouses within Hell mostly lack true physical bodies. Therefore, even if an expert of the God level were to perish, their Soul Body would disintegrate into ash, rarely leaving a physical form behind.
It became evident that the owner of this particular body did not originate from Hell, but rather from the Divine World.
This revelation ignited curiosity within Xu Nian. How could the physical body of a powerful figure from the Divine World possibly end up in this place?
Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, this body was precisely what Xu Nian required at this very moment.
His objective was to refine a God-level Puppet. Aside from a select few exceptionally rare Artifact Refining Materials, a God-level physical body was deemed absolutely indispensable.
Furthermore, this body appeared to belong to an expert at the Peak of God level. The only uncertainty was whether the Godhood within it still remained intact.
"It appears there is something contained within this Pill Furnace," the youth in white robes remarked at this juncture.
His words prompted every gaze to turn towards the Pill Furnace.
Indeed, something seemed to be housed within. Upon probing with his Divine Sense, one could distinctly perceive an incomparably pure energy emanating from the Pill Furnace's interior.
This surge of energy was potent enough to completely repel his Divine Sense. It was clear that the energy of this object was something truly extraordinary.
"The flames below are also exceptionally remarkable. Having been tempered for several million years, they have transformed into Sun God Fire. With such flames, even God-level Divine Weapons would likely be unable to withstand them," the red-haired God commented, observing the flames beneath the Pill Furnace.
Xu Nian had also taken note of these flames.
The intensity of these flames was incredibly formidable, undoubtedly a type of Divine Fire capable of refining Luo God Level weapons.
If he could gain control over this category of Divine Fire, he would be fully capable of attempting to forge a Divine Artifact.
"Then, does this imply that the furnace itself is also a Treasure?" Ye Shumin inquired.
"Precisely. To endure forging by Sun God Fire, it must be at least a Luo God Level Treasure," the red-haired God affirmed.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement.
They had not anticipated encountering such a treasure within the very first great hall. With several more halls ahead, did this not suggest that even more valuable treasures awaited?
For a fleeting moment, the eyes of all present were alight with avarice.
"This God-level body is effectively useless. It likely does not belong to the master of this cave mansion," the White Robed Taoist commented, glancing at the God-level body situated above the Pill Furnace.
The others had already observed this body earlier, yet the majority found it uninteresting.
This was primarily because individuals from Hell were fundamentally incapable of integrating with a physical body.
Consequently, this body held no practical value for them.
"Everyone, would you be willing to bestow this God-level body to me?" After a moment's contemplation, Xu Nian stepped forward and voiced his request.
"Bestow it to you? On what grounds?" Tan Long immediately retorted with a cold tone.
Even if the object held no utility for him, he would never consent to handing it over to Xu Nian.
Both God-level Experts turned their attention towards Xu Nian as well.
It was apparent they had already taken notice of this sole Nether Emperor within their company.
The fact that a Nether Emperor could gain entry into the Netherworld God Temple and even undertake this mission was indeed a source of great curiosity for them.
"State your reason for this request," the White Robed Taoist instructed, addressing Xu Nian.
"I am prepared to exchange Divine Origin Liquid for it—one bottle of Divine Origin Liquid per person!" Xu Nian declared.
As he spoke, he gestured, and a total of six bottles of Divine Origin Liquid materialized into view for all present.
Each bottle contained no less than five hundred drops.
Trading an item deemed useless for five hundred drops of Divine Origin Liquid represented a highly advantageous transaction for them.
They had all already probed the God-level body and found no trace of treasure, nor even any remaining Godhood.
"Very well, I agree," the White Robed Taoist stated.
"I concur as well," the red-haired God added.
With the agreement of the two God-level Experts, the others naturally raised no objections.
Although Tan Long harbored a strong desire to protest, he dared not defy the God-level Experts.
He was compelled to accept Xu Nian's Divine Origin Liquid in exchange.
A look of immense delight washed over Xu Nian upon witnessing this outcome, and he promptly stored the God-level body within his storage ring.
While the absence of Godhood was a slight disappointment, a God-level body alone was an exceedingly rare find.
Moreover, it was evident that this body belonged to an expert at the Peak of God level, implying exceptional toughness of the flesh. Once reforged, he was confident he could fashion a flawless God-level Puppet from it.
"Next, let us proceed to open this Pill Furnace and ascertain what treasure lies within," the White Robed Taoist suggested, his gaze fixed on the Pill Furnace.
Everyone in the group nodded in agreement.
Consequently, the White Robed Taoist immediately acted, channeling his Divine Power in an attempt to lift the lid of the Pill Furnace.
But as his Divine Power struck the Pill Furnace, the lid refused to budge, not even a little.
"Hmm? This lid has an incredibly potent restriction on it?" The White Robed Taoist couldn't hide his surprise.
As his Divine Power had made contact just moments ago, formidable Divine Patterns had visibly appeared on the lid's surface.
This indicated that unsealing it would be far from a simple undertaking.
"Let's strike together," proposed the White Robed Taoist.
A chorus of agreement followed.
Their combined assault began, and only through the sheer accumulation of their power did they finally start to disturb the Divine Patterns adorning the lid.
With continued attacks from everyone, cracks began to spread across the Divine Patterns.
Finally, in a decisive moment fueled by their collective might, the Divine Patterns shattered completely.
"Boom!"
And precisely at the instant the Divine Patterns were broken—
The lid was violently ejected, and four beams of light burst forth from the Pill Furnace.
They then streaked directly towards the hall's exit.
"Those are Top-grade Heavenly God Pills—don't let them escape!" the White Robed Taoist bellowed instantly.
His form blurred, and he materialized directly before the grand hall's entrance, blocking the way.
God-level power surged forth, effectively sealing the entire chamber.
Then, he reached out, aiming to snatch one of the Heavenly God Pills.
"Top-grade Heavenly God Pills?" Everyone's eyes widened with avarice.
They all scrambled forward, attempting to seize the four Top-grade Heavenly God Pills as they darted in different directions.
Xu Nian, naturally, did not remain inactive.
The allure of Top-grade Heavenly God Pills was potent for him as well.
He fixed his gaze on one of the fleeing pills and immediately gave chase.
Naturally, Tan Long and Qiao Baiyun pursued the same one alongside him.
It was evident that once the two God-level Experts claimed their prizes, only two Heavenly God Pills would remain.
With five individuals vying for two Heavenly God Pills, a fierce competition was inevitable.
Xu Nian harbored no intention of showing restraint.
Fortune favors the bold, after all.
He unfurled his Wind Spirit Wings without hesitation, matching the Heavenly God Pill's incredible speed.
Yet, this particular Heavenly God Pill proved exceptionally agile, evading Xu Nian's grasp for a considerable time.
Tan Long and Qiao Baiyun found themselves in the same predicament.
The duo had unleashed even their Great Dao True Meaning, yet still, they couldn't intercept the Heavenly God Pill.
"Utilize the Chaos Divine Palace's spatial power to bind it," Daotian Rat's voice echoed within Xu Nian's mind.
Heeding the advice, Xu Nian immediately activated the Chaos Divine Palace, directly ensnaring the Heavenly God Pill in its spatial grip.
With a swift motion, he snatched it into his hand.
Even within Xu Nian's grasp, the Heavenly God Pill struggled to break free, but Xu Nian was determined not to yield.
"Hand over the Heavenly God Pill."
However, before Xu Nian could secure the pill, Tan Long had already stormed towards him.
The Fifth-level Thunder Attribute Dao Truth erupted, and in an instant, a spear thrust was launched directly at Xu Nian.
His intent to kill was palpable.
A cold glint flickered in Xu Nian's eyes.
