Divine King of Honour Chapter 3 Awakening

Moments ticked by unnoticed, and just like that, three days and three nights flew past in an instant.

Right now, the scarlet radiance cloaking Xu Nian's frame had condensed into a thick, gooey layer, wrapping him tightly like a bloody cocoon.

The herbal liquid within the cauldron had turned crystal clear as well, every trace of potency from the herbs and beast bones fully drawn out and absorbed.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian abruptly flung open his eyes, firing off two streaks of blood-red light that pierced straight into the heavens. Instantly, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy coalesced into a massive whirlpool spanning dozens of meters across, madly surging toward Xu Nian.

Bai Tianhan, who was seated in the yard, jerked his head upward, his face lighting up with overwhelming delight.

He had stood watch outside for these three days and nights precisely awaiting this very instant.

Wasting no time, he swiftly executed a series of hand seals, shrouding the whole courtyard in a protective barrier to contain the alarming Heaven and Earth Phenomenon from leaking out.

If not, the ripples would surely rouse the entire Cloud Sea City. In a heartbeat, he materialized within Xu Nian's chamber.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy now swathed Xu Nian, flooding into him like a dam bursting open.

Yet, not every bit of this Spiritual Energy funneled straight to his Dantian; the majority coursed through his meridians to scour his arms, legs, and bones with fierce intensity.

Each cell throughout Xu Nian's body acted like a famished infant, hungrily devouring the incoming Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

With cells absorbing nonstop, the aura radiating from Xu Nian grew ever more terrifying and powerful.

"Enlightenment pouring down, haha, it's a success!"

Witnessing this spectacle, Bai Tianhan's features twisted into pure rapture.

Enlightenment marked the ultimate phase of Divine Demon Bloodline Awakening, boosting strength at breakneck speed while triggering the emergence of innate Divine Demon Bloodline Talent.

Divine Demon Talent came in seven tiers: Mortal Level, Ghost Level, Demon Level, King Level, Emperor Level, Desolate Level, and Divine Level.

This Divine Demon Talent would dictate just how far one could tread along the Divine Demon path.

Back in his day, awakening King Level Divine Demon Talent had earned him the title of a genius appearing once every thousand years in the Divine Demon Sect. Now, he burned with curiosity over Xu Nian's impending talent.

Power realms for Divine Demon Body Cultivation mirrored those of Spiritual Energy Practitioners quite closely, spanning Basic, Star Level, Silver Moon Level, Xuan Tian Level, Marquis Level, Saint Level, and Emperor Level.

The sole distinction lay in their naming; Spiritual Energy Practitioners progressed from one-star to nine-star, while Divine Demon Body Cultivation advanced from First Rank Nine Level Heaven to Ninth Level Heaven.

Though the tiers aligned broadly, Divine Demon Body Cultivators utterly crushed peers in the same realm.

For instance, a Divine Demon Body Cultivator at Basic Ninth Level Heaven could effortlessly overpower any nine-star Spiritual Energy Practitioner at the Basic stage.

Bai Tianhan lingered nearby, gaze locked on Xu Nian amid the Spiritual Energy torrent, brimming with anticipation.

Seconds stretched into minutes, ticking onward relentlessly.

One two-hour period passed... then two...

The extended duration only heightened Bai Tianhan's thrill and disbelief.

Prolonged awakening meant a mightier talent emerging.

He'd figured Xu Nian might endure two two-hour periods at best, yet nearly three had elapsed, leaving him floored.

Time pressed on, and soon four two-hour periods had zipped by.

Bai Tianhan stood stunned into speechlessness!

But right as the fourth two-hour period neared its close, muffled thunderous growls started rumbling from deep inside Xu Nian.

"From this intensity... is it Desolate Level Bloodline Talent?"

Bai Tianhan reeled in shock, eyes bulging as he fixed them unblinkingly on Xu Nian.

One must remember, even in the Sect's heyday, the pinnacle Bloodline Awakening topped out at Emperor Level Bloodline, and the Divine Demon Emperor of ten thousand years back had barely touched Desolate Level.

Legends whispered that only Desolate Level Bloodline Talent holders could ascend to Supreme Emperor status.

Was Xu Nian truly the fabled Desolate Level Divine Demon Bloodline Talent, a prodigy once in ten thousand years?

Did this hint at eclipsing even the Divine Demon Emperor?

Bai Tianhan couldn't bear to speculate more, his feelings surging beyond any words.

"Boom!"

The thunderous roar within Xu Nian sharpened into clarity.

The enormous cauldron holding Xu Nian shattered explosively, as nine colossal Dragon Phantoms coiled around him.

Nine Dragons encircling, brilliance piercing the firmament.

A fearsome glow shrouded the whole courtyard, radiating a formidable Divine Demon aura.

"This... how can this be?"

"Nine Dragons coiled together, birthing a Supreme—might this be the fabled Divine Level Talent Bloodline, the Nine Dragon Supreme Divine Body?"

Bai Tianhan struggled to trust what he saw, his heart pounding wildly as he rubbed his eyes repeatedly to ensure it wasn't an illusion.

The Supreme Divine Body holds esteemed status in the Divine Demon lineage, boasting a Divine Demon Talent Bloodline superior to all others. Among these, the Nine Dragon Supreme Divine Body reigns as the absolute peak.

Within the body, Nine Dragon veins hold sway, and upon awakening, they make one unbeatable throughout the world.

Bai Tianhan had figured Xu Nian's Bloodline Talent might top out at Emperor Level, yet now it turned out to be the mythical Divine-level.

"Haha, to think I'm the master of someone with a Divine-level Bloodline! The Divine Demon Sect is favored by the heavens indeed. All you who shed the blood of my Divine Demon Sect, bide your time. Soon, you'll pay dearly for your actions—tremble in fear! Haha!" Bai Tianhan erupted in laughter, thrilled beyond measure, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Xu Nian opened his eyes and got a shock seeing tears all over his master's face.

"Master, are you okay?" Xu Nian asked, stunned.

"Nothing at all, just a bit of sand in my eyes," Bai Tianhan noticed his slip and quickly brushed it off.

Question marks popped into Xu Nian's mind— they were indoors, not outdoors, and a Xuantian Level powerhouse wouldn't get sand in his eyes so easily anyway.

"Fine, my precious disciple, bathe first and sense your new power. Later, I'll teach you the sect's sacred text, the Ancient Demon Technique."

With those words, Bai Tianhan hurried off in a flash.

As he watched his master's departing back, Xu Nian chuckled inwardly; his master wasn't as icy as he seemed.

Right away, Xu Nian's eyes turned to his own form.

What tremendous power! It didn't stem from the Dantian but surged from the flesh itself.

Xu Nian's gaze lit up. Since waking, boundless strength had surged through him.

The Spiritual Energy in his Dantian stayed the same amount; still at Four-star Warrior Realm, just denser now without a big leap, confirming the might came from his physique.

"Is this the Divine Demon Body Cultivation master mentioned? So mighty, it feels like Basic Ninth Level Heaven already."

In a blur, his figure turned into a gust and shot outdoors.

What astonishing velocity!

Xu Nian's pace now matched a Basic Peak warrior's and rivaled certain One-star Level ones.

"Below Star Level now, few can rival me. Even against a One-star Warrior, I can hold my own," Xu Nian clenched his fists and murmured excitedly.

"Haha, stronger than ever!"

Xu Nian admired his flawless physique, muscles sleek and brimming with vast power. This thrilling rush was totally new; he yelled in joy.

"Hey, disciple, clothes on before stepping out!"

Suddenly, Bai Tianhan's playful shout hit Xu Nian's ears.

Only then did Xu Nian notice—he was buck naked.

"Damn, running bare!"

Xu Nian bolted his legs faster and raced back indoors.

Bai Tianhan eyed Xu Nian's funny dash and roared with laughter, feeling he'd finally scored a point.

In the following three days, Xu Nian practiced the Ancient Demon Technique and picked up key details on Divine Demon Body Cultivation.

After the Divine Demon Sect's wipeout a millennium ago, Divine Demon Body Cultivation had faded entirely from the Taiyuan Continent, with his master as the sole inheritor.

The Body Cultivations around the Taiyuan Continent today all stem from Divine Demon Body Cultivation but pale far in comparison to the true original.

Above all, Xu Nian's Nine Dragon Supreme Divine Body awakening got stressed by Bai Tianhan over thirty times; he warned Xu Nian to hide his Divine Demon Cultivation unless life or death demanded it.

Though Divine Demon Bloodline Talents were obscure to most, if his fearsome gift got exposed, fatal troubles would surely follow.

After briefing Xu Nian on all these details, Bai Tianhan departed swiftly. Prior to leaving, he directed Xu Nian to enroll in Qinglin Academy, publicly to train in Spiritual Energy while secretly practicing Divine Demon Body Cultivation.

"Master, rest assured, I will diligently cultivate to glorify our Divine Demon Sect."

Gazing at his master's receding silhouette, Xu Nian bowed in silence, vowing deep within his heart.

Though he had bantered frequently with Bai Tianhan lately, Xu Nian never overlooked the profound favor Bai Tianhan granted by reshaping his life.

Without Bai Tianhan's intervention, he could still be sprawled like a worthless clump amid the beggars, suffering an existence worse than death.

During the past month, Xu Nian had truly sensed Bai Tianhan's attentive nurturing, a warmth akin to love that only his mother had ever given him.

Hence, Bai Tianhan occupied a special place in Xu Nian's heart—not merely as a master, but as the second most cherished person after his mother.

"From today onward, I will make the entire continent remember this name, Xu Nian."

Standing proudly atop the rooftop, Xu Nian faced the biting autumn gusts that howled without cease, yet he stood steadfast like an immovable peak.

He was no longer the same individual from a month earlier.

The Xu Nian of now had undergone a complete rebirth.

Those who once inflicted pain upon him would face his vengeance, one after another.

"Qinglin Academy, it seems Qin Hen is also there; I wonder what your expression will be when you see me again?" As Xu Nian beheld the sky painted with rosy clouds, the chilling grin on his lips intensified.

Anticipation filled his heart for the upcoming Qinglin Academy selections tomorrow.
