Divine King of Honour Chapter 1925: God Level Corpse Puppets

Xu Nian gazed forward, a flicker of astonishment gracing his features. He hadn't anticipated that the treasure on this particular level would be this very item. Before them stood a magnificent, sizable tree, currently adorned with exactly nine fruits. These fruits, all possessing a crystal-clear appearance, were undeniably extraordinary. "What manner of Divine Tree is this?" Dongfang Ping questioned, his voice tinged with surprise. "This is a Luo Han Fruit Tree, and those fruits are Luo Han Fruits. This tree blossoms only once every hundred thousand years and bears fruit a mere million years apart, yielding just nine fruits each cycle," Xu Nian responded. "A million years for fruit?" Dongfang Ping exclaimed, his amazement evident. "Indeed, Luo Han Fruits mature only once every million years and remain viable for just one year. It appears our timing is impeccable," Su Chan remarked, her own surprise palpable. "What is the purpose of these fruits?" Dongfang Ping continued his inquiry. "Consuming these fruits significantly aids in comprehending the Heavenly Dao, enhancing the likelihood by at least thirty percent. This is precisely why they are so highly coveted in the Divine World," Su Chan elaborated. Dongfang Ping was instantly taken aback. Aiding in understanding the Heavenly Dao? Wouldn't this make them incredibly valuable, even to God-level experts? "There are nine fruits in total here; how about we each take three?" Xu Nian proposed. "I have no objections," Su Chan readily agreed. "There's no need. I contributed very little; one is sufficient for me. The remaining eight can be divided between you two," Dongfang Ping stated. "Very well, then four for each of us," Xu Nian nodded in agreement. With that understanding, Xu Nian and the others proceeded to divide the Luo Han Fruits. Xu Nian carefully placed them into jade boxes, planning to consume them only after reaching the Divine level, thereby facilitating his breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao True Intent stage. "Can this tree be relocated?" Dongfang Ping inquired, recognizing the immense value of a Divine Tree. "This tree cannot be transplanted; once uprooted, it will rapidly wither. It is best to leave it here," Xu Nian replied. To be entirely truthful, he had contemplated transplanting the tree numerous times before, utilizing the Chaos Divine Palace. However, knowing that transplantation was impossible, he chose to let it remain. Su Chan nodded in accord. "Let us proceed to the next level." "I shall sit this level out; the second level was perilous enough for me, and I doubt my capacity for the third. You two should continue onward," Dongfang Ping declared. "Very well, you should depart then," Xu Nian concurred. H had to admit, the challenges ahead were indeed not suitable for Dongfang Ping. Subsequently, Xu Nian bid farewell to Dongfang Ping and, alongside Su Chan, advanced to the third underground level. Meanwhile, Dongfang Ping let out a sigh and opted to leave. Honestly, encountering Xu Nian this time had left him quite disheartened. After all, the strength Xu Nian had displayed was far beyond his current capabilities. He resolved to find a secluded spot for retreat and cultivation, intending to traverse the Divine World and enter it directly thereafter. Unaware of Dongfang Ping's thoughts, Xu Nian had already arrived at the third underground level with Su Chan. There, two formidable figures stood waiting. They were not living beings but rather corpses, entirely inscribed with Divine Patterns, yet emanating an incredibly potent aura. "Are these God-level corpse puppets?" Su Chan asked, her surprise evident at the sight. "Corpse puppets?" Xu Nian echoed, a hint of surprise in his voice. A corpse puppet is a puppet meticulously refined from a corpse. These puppets lack independent consciousness, possessing only a primal instinct to fight. Their strength is exceptionally formidable, and the refinement process is notoriously cruel, often involving the live refinement of human subjects. The corpse puppets before them had clearly been God-level experts during their lives. "It's not quite that simple; these corpse puppets have reached the apex of the Early Stage God-level, bordering on Mid-level God, making them incredibly difficult opponents. Furthermore, they are practically immortal, with bodies capable of instantaneous regeneration," Su Chan noted, her brow furrowed. "How do we defeat them?" Xu Nian inquired. "I am uncertain. It is widely known that corpse puppets are troublesome and profoundly malevolent entities, and their complete annihilation is no simple feat," Su Chan admitted. Xu Nian's expression turned serious. These corpse puppets were proving to be unexpectedly formidable. "Let us attempt to find out," Xu Nian suggested. "There is no other recourse. You take one; I shall handle the other," Su Chan agreed. Gripping her long spear firmly, she immediately charged at one of the corpse puppets. Xu Nian did not hesitate, launching himself forward with a powerful punch. The Ninth Level Earth Attribute Dao Truth instantly coalesced, forming a terrifying crushing force that bore down upon the other corpse puppet. The corpse puppet abruptly opened its eyes. It retaliated with a punch of its own. "Boom!" A deafening explosion reverberated. Terrifying power erupted instantaneously. Xu Nian was forcefully repelled, staggering back several dozen steps. Yet, the corpse puppet's body remained utterly unmoved.

"Such strength, a raw power that rivals a God-level expert at the Ninth Level Realms of Dao," Xu Nian mused internally.

He clearly assessed the corpse puppets' abilities.

Xu Nian's own might was approximately at this same level.

Therefore, overcoming these corpse puppets presented a significant challenge.

The most critical factor was the corpse puppet's indomitable body.

"Hum!"

Xu Nian drew forth the God King Sword.

"Slash!"

Xu Nian unleashed his blade, causing sword qi to surge forward.

The corpse puppet did not retreat; instead, it summoned a battle saber and slashed down, forcefully shattering Xu Nian's sword radiance.

"Hum!"

In that instant, the corpse puppet vanished, reappearing directly before Xu Nian.

It brandished a divine blade, radiating an incredibly fearsome sword light, which it fiercely brought down upon Xu Nian.

"So quick!"

Xu Nian reacted with surprise, immediately pushing the God King Sword to its absolute limit.

Then, he thrust the sword forward.

Sword qi erupted, generating a powerful impact.

Divine Power surged with immense force.

"Boom!"

However, Xu Nian's sword met the sword light, resulting in a stalemate.

Both combatants were pushed back, with no clear victor emerging.

Xu Nian cast a glance towards Su Chan.

Evidently, Su Chan faced a similar situation, essentially locked in an equal match.

These corpse puppets were far from ordinary.

"It seems we require something substantial to handle these opponents," Xu Nian contemplated.

Instantly, the Supreme Dragon Robe materialized upon him.

His aura immediately ascended by several levels.

Then, Xu Nian gripping his sword once more, unleashed dozens of strikes in rapid succession.

These strikes overwhelmed the corpse puppet, with three of them even cleaving its body open, nearly bisecting it.

Yet, the corpse puppet's flesh instantaneously regenerated, leaving it completely unharmed.

This caused Xu Nian's brows to furrow deeply.

It was clear that they absolutely must discover the corpse puppet's vulnerability.
