Divine King of Honour Chapter 1921: Breaking into the Netherworld King’s Tomb

The Netherworld King’s Tomb is situated on an island known as Lianhua Island.

This island is encircled by a vast lake, presenting a scene of considerable beauty.

However, the surface of the lake is currently teeming with individuals, all positioned there and gazing intently at the island before them. Despite the gathering, none seem inclined to advance readily.

Among these assembled are formidable figures from the Four Realms: Immortals, Demons, Devils, and the Netherworld. It's notable that nearly all possess strength that eclipses the Immortal Emperor Level.

After all, venturing into this Sky-level tomb without at least Emperor-level strength is akin to actively seeking one's demise.

Xu Nian arrived, soaring through the air. A number of gazes briefly fell upon him before quickly looking away.

His arrival, it seemed, did not carry any particular significance for most present.

Nevertheless, two individuals within the crowd did indeed recognize Xu Nian.

One was, as expected, Dongfang Ping. The other, however, was Su Chan, a fact that somewhat surprised Xu Nian.

She was a God-level expert hailing from the Demon Clan. She had been occupied with a search for certain mysterious fragments previously, and it appeared her endeavors had proven unsuccessful thus far.

"Huh, what brings you here?" Su Chan inquired, stepping gracefully through the air, her curiosity evident.

"I am, naturally, here to explore the tomb," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"I sense a subtle difference in your aura now; is that correct?" Su Chan asked, scrutinizing Xu Nian with surprise.

"And what might that be?" Xu Nian responded with a smile, intrigued.

It was unexpected that Su Chan could perceive the shift in his bearing.

"Ah, it's the Great Dao. Have you, by chance, comprehended the True Meaning of the Great Dao?" Su Chan inquired, her voice laced with surprise.

"Indeed, I have attained comprehension of the Great Dao True Meaning," Xu Nian confirmed with a smile.

At this juncture, even in Su Chan's presence, he felt no apprehension.

Although Su Chan's cultivation was currently limited to the Demon Emperor Perfection stage, Xu Nian felt he would not be unduly concerned even if she were to reveal her true cultivation.

With his present capabilities, Xu Nian surmised he could likely contend with God-level experts from the Divine World.

This calculation, naturally, assumed the opposing party had not yet attained comprehension of the Heavenly Dao.

It was clear that Su Chan had not yet entered the Heavenly Dao realm, yet her grasp of the Great Dao was undeniably profound.

"I find it astonishing that you've comprehended the Great Dao True Meaning while still within the Immortal Emperor realm. I detect a certain dangerous aura about you; it seems your understanding of the Great Dao is already quite advanced," Su Chan observed.

Xu Nian offered a smile, choosing not to elaborate further.

"What is the current situation? Was the outer spiritual barrier not already broken? Why are we not proceeding onto the island?" Xu Nian inquired.

"The barrier has indeed been lifted, but a remarkably potent Killing Array lies within the island. Thus far, at least a dozen individuals have met their end within it," Su Chan informed him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian directed his senses towards the island.

He could confirm that the island emanated a powerful, menacing aura.

Even he perceived a palpable sense of danger emanating from this presence, which was noteworthy.

It should be mentioned that within the Immortal Realm, there was virtually nothing capable of inflicting genuine harm upon him at this point.

"Then, why not simply breach the formation?" Xu Nian asked.

"This formation draws its power from the Sun; consequently, it weakens considerably during the night, rendering that period the most opportune time to attempt to breach the array," Su Chan explained.

Xu Nian offered a nod of understanding.

"Brother Xu, you have finally arrived," Dongfang Ping also noticed Xu Nian and promptly made his way over.

"Brother Dongfang, have you attained the Perfection stage of the Immortal Emperor realm?" Xu Nian inquired, observing Dongfang Ping.

It was unexpected to find that Dongfang Ping had also reached the Immortal Emperor Perfection Level.

It appeared he was not far from embarking on the Divine Tribulation.

Speaking of the Divine Tribulation, Xu Nian felt a pang of regret.

He had initially pledged to Master Taichu that he would be present for his Divine Tribulation, but time had since passed.

He wondered if Master Taichu had successfully overcome his Divine Tribulation by now.

"Haha, it was merely a matter of opportunity. However, you are truly remarkable, Brother Xu. I've just heard that you've comprehended the Great Dao, a level typically attained only by Divine-level experts," Dongfang Ping chuckled.

"By the way, while in the Immortal Realm, did you happen to know if my master, Taichu Immortal Emperor, succeeded in crossing his tribulation?" Xu Nian asked.

"Taichu Immortal Emperor? He was indeed successful. News of this accomplishment has spread throughout the entire Immortal World. That Divine Tribulation was truly spectacular. Do you know? He faced and overcame the Ninth Level Divine Tribulation," Dongfang Ping exclaimed with evident awe.

"The Ninth Level Divine Tribulation?" Xu Nian was visibly taken aback.

He hadn't anticipated that his master would endure a Ninth Level Divine Tribulation.

However, what astonished him even more was the fact that his master had actually triumphed over it.

"As long as Master is safe, that brings me immense relief," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

"The tribulation faced by Taichu Immortal Emperor certainly caused significant ripples, even reaching into the Divine World. Furthermore, individuals from your Heavenly Court have ascended to the Divine World," Dongfang Ping added.

"Oh? Who?" Xu Nian feigned surprise.

"Leng Yanran!" Dongfang Ping declared.

"What? Yanran ascended to the Divine World?" Xu Nian's shock deepened.

Although he knew Leng Yanran had achieved a profound fusion with Godhood,

he had logically expected her to await his return before choosing ascension.

Yet, unexpectedly, Leng Yanran had ascended to the Divine World ahead of schedule.

There had to be an unfathomable reason behind this.

"Never mind, once I obtain this God Rank, I can return to the Heavenly Court. Then, everything will become clear," Xu Nian mused silently.

He banished these scattered thoughts from his mind.

His most immediate objective now was to infiltrate the Netherworld King's Tomb and secure the Death Godhood.

Possessing a detailed map of the Netherworld King's Tomb significantly bolstered his confidence.

"Brother Dongfang, Su Chan, I have obtained a detailed structural map of the Netherworld King's Tomb. If you place your trust in me, why not join me? We can venture into the deepest reaches of this tomb together and claim what we desire," Xu Nian proposed.

Both Su Chan and Dongfang Ping were taken aback.

Xu Nian possessed a detailed map of the Netherworld King's Tomb.

This was truly astonishing news for them.

"Alright, I will accompany you," Su Chan declared resolutely.

"I will also join Brother Xu; doing so might increase our chances considerably," Dongfang Ping concurred.

Xu Nian nodded upon hearing their affirmations.

He had invited Dongfang Ping and Su Chan because the Netherworld King's Tomb contained three exceptionally perilous zones, navigating which even he felt uncertain of managing alone.

With Su Chan's assistance, their prospects might indeed improve.

The God Rank he sought resided in the most profound chamber of the Netherworld King's Tomb.

Xu Nian provided them with a concise overview of the tomb's general layout.

The two individuals gained a more concrete understanding of the Netherworld King's Tomb's structure.

As night swiftly descended, and the formation weakened to its absolute limit, the cultivators who had been observing from the lake began to move, directing their path toward the island.

"Let's also proceed!" Xu Nian commanded, casting his gaze toward the island.

He then propelled himself towards the island.

Su Chan and Dongfang Ping naturally followed close behind.

Upon setting foot on the island, Xu Nian distinctly sensed a killing intent zeroing in on them.

However, this murderous aura was considerably less potent than it had been during the day, though still formidable enough to overwhelm ordinary individuals.

"Ah!"

Shortly after, a piercing scream resounded.

An expert from the Demon Emperor realm was instantly obliterated by a terrifying beam of Sword Radiance.
