Divine King of Honour Chapter 2109: Mysterious Metal Sphere

"The Taigu Divine Vine indeed does not hold such great allure. Although it’s a legendary celestial exotic treasure, it offers little benefit to God King Level experts," Taichu remarked gravely.

Could there be something else here?

Xu Nian remained silent and released his Divine Sense to explore the forest.

Although his cultivation is only at the Daluo God Early Stage, his Divine Sense strength already rivals Late-stage God King level experts.

Thus, his Divine Sense can completely bypass the present three God Kings, conducting a comprehensive investigation of the area.

Soon, he located the position of the Taigu Divine Vine.

The root system of this Taigu Divine Vine is enormous, occupying nearly half of the mountain range, with its core situated eight thousand meters underground.

"Huh, what is that?"

Xu Nian was suddenly attracted by an object wrapped by the Taigu Divine Vine.

The object radiated immense energy and contained powerful Divine Soul fluctuations.

His Divine Sense merely touched it, and the frightful Divine Soul force sent him reeling.

Nonetheless, Xu Nian managed to see the true form of the object—a metal sphere with a diameter of about one meter.

The sphere is densely engraved with Divine Patterns, seeming not to be naturally formed.

"The Divine Soul power on this metallic sphere is at least equivalent to Divine Sovereign Peak level, far surpassing Master Ye Tian’s currently recovered Divine Soul strength," Xu Nian mused to himself.

Perhaps these individuals are contending against the Exotic Beast to seize this metal sphere.

However, what the metal sphere truly is and its specific functions remain unknown.

Evidently, the Taigu Divine Vine is absorbing the Divine Soul energy from the metal sphere to continuously strengthen itself.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous roar erupted from the ongoing battle ahead.

The three major forces are ruthlessly combating the Exotic Beast.

Yet Xu Nian faintly senses that these three forces may have other formidable individuals lying dormant, seemingly waiting in the shadows.

Otherwise, relying solely on these people, dealing with the Exotic Beast wouldn’t be feasible.

Not to mention, besides the Exotic Beast, there’s an even more formidable Taigu Divine Vine.

"What should we do next? Just watch, or should we secretly seek the Taigu Divine Vine?" Huo Yunshan asked Xu Nian.

Taichu also looked toward Xu Nian, clearly considering him their pillar of support.

After all, the two of them, despite reaching God Level, are powerless under these circumstances.

"No rush to act yet; given our existing strength, even seeking the Taigu Divine Vine alone might not assure victory. Rather than recklessly advance, let’s observe the situation. I’ve scouted earlier—the object they’re after is the treasure held by the Taigu Divine Vine, so if they want the treasure, a battle must ensue with the vine," Xu Nian explained.

"You mean to sit back and watch the conflict? But even if they desire the treasure, defeating the Taigu Divine Vine might not be possible, especially when they can’t handle the Exotic Beast," Huo Yunshan expressed his doubts.

"Indeed, these people alone are insufficient. However, the three major forces likely have more experts monitoring the situation, who will act soon, marking the true start of the battle," Xu Nian responded.

"More experts?" Huo Yunshan furrowed his brow.

Taichu nodded: "The three forces wouldn’t send just three Early Stage God Kings. At least a God King Peak level should be present, yet none have revealed themselves, clearly keeping to the shadows."

"Master is right; they haven’t acted, likely awaiting the Taigu Divine Vine’s appearance or holding mutual concerns, since there’s only one treasure," Xu Nian stated.

"But even if they eventually kill the Taigu Divine Vine, would it be easy for us to acquire the treasure?" Huo Yunshan continued questioning.

"Not necessarily. Their target is the treasure, not the Taigu Divine Vine. If the vine is slain and they’re distracted by fighting over the treasure, wouldn’t it become our chance?" Xu Nian grinned.

"Indeed, it’s our sole opportunity. These three forces are Demon Clan factions from Earth Saint Divine Continent, historically antagonistic to our Sanqing Sect. If they inflict mutual damage, that’s preferable," Taichu remarked.

Huo Yunshan nodded.

The three forces have slain countless comrades from the Sanqing Sect.

If they could truly suffer losses, he would be more than willing.

"For now, we must conceal ourselves, avoid detection, and move unexpectedly. When the moment comes to obtain the Taigu Divine Vine’s origin, Master, you’ll depart," Xu Nian responded.

"What about you?" Taichu asked.

"I plan to visit the Gods’ Graveyard since I can’t leave here yet," Xu Nian replied.

"Alright," Taichu nodded.

He refrained from saying more, knowing that Xu Nian is no longer his sheltered disciple.

Whatever Xu Nian chooses, he cannot interfere.

Afterward, Xu Nian set up a formation—a part of the Eight Extremes Divine Array used as an Illusion Array to mask their presence.

Once the formation is laid, unless someone enters the perimeter, their tracks are hard to uncover.

Even a God King Peak expert cannot locate them through Divine Sense inspection.

Xu Nian shrunk the formation’s range small, approximately a ten-meter diameter.

Their position is secluded along the mountainous wall, making it near impossible to be discovered.

Huo Yunshan and Taichu marveled at Xu Nian’s formidable formation.

Xu Nian said little and observed the battle below closely.

As the mighty Exotic Beast rampaged, the three Early Stage God Kings were promptly defeated.

Around them, over ten Daluo Gods faced the Exotic Beast, leaving eight slain, halving their numbers instantly.

"Such a powerful Exotic Beast, boasting eight octopus-like tentacles, each ending with razor-sharp blades comparable to a God King Artifact, a natural god of slaughter," Huo Yunshan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Xu Nian agreed deeply.

This Exotic Beast is indeed formidable, frighteningly strong, especially in close combat, practically unrivaled in its tier.

"Sadly, the Exotic Beast must perish," Xu Nian remarked.

Just as Xu Nian finished speaking, a terrifying Divine Thunder descended, morphing into a fearsome Thunder Spear, pinning the Exotic Beast to the ground.

"Roar!"

The Exotic Beast uttered a cry of pain, its tentacles gripping the spear, trying to pull it out.

Yet the spear’s power seemed even more terrifying than expected.

"A God King Peak level expert has taken action," Xu Nian’s gaze sharpened instantly.

Taichu and Huo Yunshan held their breath, God King Peak?

Such overwhelming strength—just the Thunder Spear alone brims with endless might, directly piercing the Exotic Beast.
