Three God King Peak experts unleashed a devastating combined strike, the Three Gods Joint Attack Technique, which pierced through the Taigu Divine Vine and the planet itself. Though the Taigu Divine Vine was destroyed, the three attackers were left severely weakened by the immense power they expended.

"The Taigu Divine Vine has been slain." Xu Nian was filled with emotion.

The power of this Three Gods Joint Attack Technique is truly terrifying.

This is no longer a matter of adding one plus one plus one; this Combined Attack Secret Technique fuses the Divine Soul Power, Divine Power, and attributes of the three individuals, thus gathering it together to unleash an unprecedented level.

Thus, the Taigu Divine Vine was dealt a fatal blow, and it’s very normal.

Now, these three God King Peak experts have exhausted all their power, which is indeed a great opportunity for them.

"What should we do next?" Huo Yunshan asked.

"Leave it to me. You stay here and don’t move; I’ll retrieve the origin of the Taigu Divine Vine." Xu Nian said.

"Isn’t that too risky? Although these three God Kings are greatly exhausted, they are still God Kings." Taichu was a bit concerned.

"Don’t worry, Master. I have my own discretion." Xu Nian responded with a smile.

Then, his figure flickered and transformed into a stream of light, darting underground.

At this moment, the three God Kings were consuming pills to restore their Divine Power due to the excessive exhaustion.

This was an excellent opportunity for Xu Nian.

Soon, Xu Nian reached the location of the Taigu Divine Vine’s core origin.

The Taigu Divine Vine was now lifeless; though its Lifebound Soul was killed, its Origin Power still remained.

Without hesitation, Xu Nian gathered the Origin Power.

What Master Taichu desired was this Origin Power.

With it, he could address the Divine Curse on his junior sister.

After gathering the Origin Power, Xu Nian’s gaze landed on the nearby Gold Attribute Divine Sphere.

This one-meter diameter sphere contained extremely terrifying Divine Soul Power, and it seemed the reason the Taigu Divine Vine had such powerful Divine Soul Power was likely due to this metal sphere.

"What is this thing, why does it have such formidable Divine Soul fluctuations?" Xu Nian muttered to himself.

"Oh, it’s actually this thing." At this moment, the voice of Divine Fire Worm Emperor rang out in Xu Nian’s mind.

"Xiaoxing, you recognize this?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"I recognize it. This item is of extraordinary origin because it was left by an extremely legendary Divine Emperor powerhouse." Divine Fire Worm Emperor said.

"Left by an extremely powerful Divine Emperor? What exactly is this item?" Xu Nian was startled; he hadn’t expected it to be left by a Divine Emperor powerhouse.

"This item is called an Artificial Divine Core." Divine Fire Worm Emperor replied.

"Artificial Divine Core?" Xu Nian gasped upon hearing this name.

Everyone knows what a Divine Core is.

It’s something that the Heaven and Earth Rules create based on one’s Divine Soul.

The Divine Core of every naturally ascended god is unique.

What makes a Divine Core special is that it can perfectly fuse with a person’s Divine Soul Origin.

Is someone actually capable of creating such a product that defies the natural order?

Xu Nian couldn’t help but glance at the metal sphere again.

"This Artificial Divine Core shouldn’t be as powerful as natural Divine Cores, right? It probably can’t break through to the Daluo God level." Xu Nian asked.

"Correct, this Artificial Divine Core can perfectly fuse with a person’s soul and become their Second Divine Status, allowing cultivation of a second attribute. If you have enough talent, you can achieve God Emperor Realm through the Second Divine Status." Divine Fire Worm Emperor explained.

"Achieve God Emperor?" Xu Nian was shocked once more.

Is this Artificial Divine Core really that terrifying?

And it’s refining another core on top of one’s existing Divine Core?

This is truly an act against the heavens!

"What about the powerful Divine Soul Power on this core?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"This is the second feature of the Artificial Divine Core; it can absorb the Divine Soul Energy of deceased divine beings and thus nourish the host itself." Divine Fire Worm Emperor explained.

Xu Nian was even more shocked upon hearing this.

No wonder the Divine Soul Power on this metal sphere is so strong; it must have absorbed Divine Soul Power for a long time, so the Divine Soul Power within this Artificial Divine Core has reached a terrifying level.

"Why didn’t the Taigu Divine Vine refine this Artificial Divine Core?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

Given the heaven-defying nature of the Artificial Divine Core, why didn’t the Taigu Divine Vine directly refine it into its own core?

"Because it doesn’t have that ability, the Artificial Divine Core can only be merged before breaking through the God King Realm. After breaking through, it’s impossible to refine it further." Divine Fire Worm Emperor explained.

Xu Nian instantly understood.

The God King level’s own core has already formed Power of Ten Thousand Dao, possessing a very strong repelling effect.

So, it’s impossible to integrate a second core again.

If it can be merged below the God King, doesn’t that mean his current Fire Attribute Avatar can merge?

Thinking of this, Xu Nian became immensely excited.

He’s really struck heavenly luck!

"How long does it take to refine this core?" Xu Nian asked.

"Since it’s an Artificial Divine Core, it can’t instantly merge like a true core; it requires a process for fusion, which varies from person to person. Some only need a few days, while others need tens of thousands of years." Divine Fire Worm Emperor answered.

Xu Nian nodded and decided to start refining the core at once.

So he immediately utilized his Origin Essence Blood to claim ownership of the Artificial Divine Core.

As the Origin Essence Blood merged with the core, an inexplicable connection instantly formed between the core and Xu Nian.

Then the core vibrated and began to shrink, eventually merging into Xu Nian’s body, settling in his Sea of Consciousness alongside the natural Divine Core.

By merging the Artificial Divine Core, Xu Nian found his Divine Soul Origin gradually integrating into it.

As his Divine Soul Origin merged, Xu Nian discovered he could perceive Heaven and Earth Elements of various attributes.

This means Xu Nian can cultivate a new attribute again.

Not only that, but as his Divine Soul Origin merged, the Divine Soul Power within the Artificial Divine Core started to nourish his Origin Power like a river.

This quickly increased the strength of Xu Nian’s Divine Soul Origin, propelling it from mid-stage God King to late-stage God King, and it started moving towards a breakthrough to God King Peak.

"Such powerful Divine Soul Power, this Artificial Divine Core’s Divine Soul Power could potentially support my Divine Soul to break through to Divine Sovereign Level." Xu Nian thought with wild joy.

However, he hasn’t completely refined the core yet.

Once fully refined, he can choose an attribute to start comprehending.

Then he will become the only one in the Divine World to simultaneously cultivate two attributes without relying on avatars.

He’s already cultivated Gold, Water, Soil, Fire, and Wind.

This time, Xu Nian plans to cultivate Thunder attributes.

Combining Fire attributes with Thunder attributes might create even more powerful techniques.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian was full of anticipation for the Second Divine Status.

"Who dares to steal the Exotic Treasure, seeking death!"

However, at this moment, a roar from the Red Demon God King echoed from the Heavenly Dome.

"Oh no, I’ve been discovered." Xu Nian was startled.

He hadn’t expected the Red Demon God King to wake up so quickly from recovery.
