Divine King of Honour Chapter 1914: The Terrifying Great Hall
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
"Only if my true self absorbs it can I breakthrough; this soul power is insufficient," Xu Nian sighed inwardly.
At this moment, the soul level of his Nine Infant Avatar and Divine Demon Avatar had attained Mid-stage Divine-level.
Yet, only the origin power of his true self’s soul had reached God Level.
Of course, to the outside world, Xu Nian’s soul cultivation still appeared to be at Nether Emperor Perfection.
"It seems the harvest this time is truly immense," Xu Nian thought gleefully before directly exiting the consciousness space.
Upon emerging, Xu Nian observed that many individuals around him had already awakened.
Ye Shumin, Qiao Baiyun, and others seemed to be gathered around a youth in white robes, engaged in discussion.
"What's happening?" Xu Nian inquired, his curiosity piqued.
"He is dead," Ye Shumin responded.
"Dead?" Xu Nian expressed his shock.
This youth in white robes was a cultivator at the Great Tao Sixth Level Heaven, yet he had died?
Could it be that he perished within the Inheritance Array?
After making some inquiries, Xu Nian finally understood that this white-robed youth, much like himself, had opted for the ultimate trial.
He ultimately failed the test, and a Peak of God Level expert annihilated his soul origin, resulting in his demise.
Presently, the soul body of the white-robed youth was slowly disintegrating, and his godhood fell to the ground.
Ye Shumin and the others showed little interest in the godhood.
Xu Nian proceeded to collect the godhood.
Apart from this godhood from the Peak of God Level expert, he already possessed six godhoods.
These six godhoods could be employed for the forging of Godhood Weapons.
Regardless of one's cultivation level, be it God or Daluo God, the rigidity of godhoods remains identical.
Without the assistance of the Devouring God Worm or the might of a Peak of God Emperor, it is impossible to displace these godhoods even slightly.
Therefore, these godhoods held significant value for Xu Nian.
However, Xu Nian had not anticipated that a genius at the Peak of Divine level would fall so unexpectedly.
"Poof!"
Just then, the red-haired God abruptly spewed a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening considerably.
"Did he forcefully interrupt the Inheritance Array?" The surrounding individuals displayed expressions of astonishment.
This red-haired God had indeed broken through the Inheritance Array by force.
However, it appeared that had he not done so, he would have likely met his doom within it.
"Buzz!"
Tan Long emanated a potent surge from his being.
Evidently, he had acquired a powerful secret technique inheritance.
This surge did not originate from soul power but rather from the secret technique inheritance itself.
"Sister Ye, what about yourselves?" Xu Nian inquired, his gaze shifting towards them.
"We also received secret technique inheritances. Brother Xu Fenn, it appears you gained substantial soul power. Did you receive a soul power inheritance?" Ye Shumin asked Xu Nian, her eyes wide with surprise.
Although Xu Nian's external appearance still indicated Nether Emperor Perfection, she could clearly sense that his soul power had grown significantly stronger.
Precisely how much stronger, she could not ascertain.
"Yes, my soul power has advanced to Late Stage Divine Level," Xu Nian replied.
"Late Stage Divine Level? You are still Nether Emperor in cultivation and have reached Late Stage Divine Level. With your current cultivation, you could easily ascend to Divine-level. Why refrain from doing so?" Ye Shumin probed curiously.
Xu Nian's soul level and Dao insights had already attained a remarkably high standard.
They even surpassed those of ordinary Divine-level experts.
With such prowess, wouldn't breaking through to the Divine-level be a trivial matter?
"I have certain reasons; I cannot break through just yet," Xu Nian stated, offering no further explanation.
Ye Shumin did not press him further.
After all, everyone harbored their own secrets.
Nevertheless, she remained confident that should Xu Nian achieve the Divine-level breakthrough, he would undoubtedly emerge as a preeminent figure within that very realm.
"Buzz!"
The White Robed Taoist finally emerged from the Inheritance Array.
He too had obtained a secret technique.
Among those present, the red-haired God had failed to receive an inheritance, and the white-robed youth had lost his life.
This stark reality served to underscore the perilous nature of this cavern for everyone.
It seemed this location was far more treacherous than its appearance suggested.
"Let us proceed to the next temple hall," the White Robed Taoist proposed.
All present nodded in agreement.
Only six individuals remained.
The dangers that lay ahead remained unknown to them all.
"Buzz!"
As everyone approached the Transmission Array, the six were swiftly transported to a newly revealed temple hall.
Yet, this hall appeared remarkably empty, seemingly devoid of any discernible features.
"Could this be an empty hall?" Qiao Baiyun questioned, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"It is unlikely to be an empty hall; there must be a hidden enigma within. Exercise caution," the White Robed Taoist advised solemnly.
"The moment his words concluded," a terrifyingly cold glint flashed instantaneously.
The red-haired God barely had time to react defensively before the dreadful cold ray extinguished his soul origin.
The onlookers were utterly stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
A God-level expert, annihilated in mere moments?
What was even more unsettling was that no one had perceived the assailant, not even a flicker.
"Everyone, consolidate your positions! The enemy appears to be cloaked in invisibility," the White Robed Taoist commanded urgently.
The demise of the red-haired God had instilled a profound sense of dread regarding the unseen presence within the hall.
This incident undeniably signaled that the adversary wielded the might to dispatch a God-level expert.
The remaining Divine-level experts couldn't help but adopt an extremely cautious stance.
If a God-level being could be so easily slain, the entity lurking within was far from ordinary.
Xu Nian, too, surveyed his surroundings with a watchful gaze.
His Divine Soul Power unfurled, meticulously probing every corner of the grand hall.
Yet, to his utter disbelief, even as his Divine Soul Power permeated the entire space, the enemy's silhouette remained elusive.
"Clang!"
At that precise moment, a fearsome, spectral beam shot forth, aiming directly at Qiao Baiyun.
Qiao Baiyun's countenance shifted dramatically, and with a swift gesture, a delicate set of prayer beads erupted with a potent radiance.
One bead from the string spontaneously materialized into a shimmering Golden Defensive Light Shield.
The spectral beam collided with the Defensive Light Shield, resonating with a sharp, piercing sound.
The entire hall vibrated in response to the impact.
The fierce beam dissipated into nothingness, and the Defensive Light Shield, conjured by Qiao Baiyun's prayer beads, crumbled away.
However, a single bead was conspicuously absent from the prayer strand.
"A Defensive Divine Artifact, bequeathed by a Peak of God level expert?" The White Robed Taoist's eyes widened with astonishment as he observed Qiao Baiyun's prayer beads.
Xu Nian also experienced a measure of surprise.
He had never anticipated Qiao Baiyun to possess such a formidable Divine Artifact.
Qiao Baiyun's expression grew grim; the uninvited assault from the spectral entity was indeed unexpected.
"What exactly is this entity?" Ye Shumin inquired, her voice tinged with surprise.
"I couldn't discern its form clearly, but the ferocity of that beam was immense and chilling, bearing a striking resemblance to the Asura from the depths of hell," Qiao Baiyun responded.
"Asura?"
The mere mention of the word sent a ripple of shock through everyone present.
Xu Nian, too, felt a surge of astonishment.
An Asura?
Could this creature truly be that terrifying being!
