Divine King of Honour-Chapter 455: Xu Nian’s Crisis (Extra Update 1)

In the jungle outside the Fourth Safe Zone of the Xu Family Ancestral Land,

Xu Nian looked down at the two bodies on the ground.

There was not a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

As he had passed by here earlier, Xu Nian had discovered that a formation had been set up.

Xu Nian did not dodge but charged straight into it.

Indeed, as he entered, the two Holy Guards activated the formation to attack him.

However, with the defense of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, these two could only manage to launch one wave of attacks before Xu Nian slew them with the second wave.

By now, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast had begun to control a trace of Void Power.

Its perception of space had become much stronger than before.

Although it still couldn't achieve space shuttling or instant teleportation,

it did possess some basic abilities of Void Concealment and Void Locking.

Previously, when Xu Nian first entered that Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array, the two Holy Guards only felt a slight fluctuation before they could no longer detect Xu Nian's presence; this was because Xu Nian, using the avatar of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, had employed Space Concealment.

Concealing his form within the crevices of space, those two Holy Guards naturally could not sense him.

As the Undying Devouring Sky Beast continued its cultivation, the space abilities it mastered would also increase.

"Swoosh!"

Xu Nian collected all the storage rings from the two Holy Guards and continued towards the deeper parts of the ancestral land.

This time, Xu Nian moved quickly.

He soon reached the Fifth Safe Zone.

There, he encountered an ambush in the Fifth Safe Zone.

After utilizing the avatar of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, Xu Nian effortlessly slew the two Holy Guards.

Six of the Eighteen Holy Guards died in an instant.

This was equivalent to the deaths of six Saints.

For the Xu Family, this was an immense loss.

Xu Nian, however, showed no mercy.

Since the Xu Family had sent people to assassinate him, they should be prepared to be killed in turn.

After he had slaughtered all eighteen Holy Guards, he wanted to see if the Xu Family would still dare to attack him.

The death of the Eighteen Holy Guards would likely severely weaken the Xu Family.

After all, how huge must have been the resources required to cultivate eighteen Saint-level experts?

But when Xu Nian reached the Sixth Safe Zone, he found no trace of any formation, nor any sign of the Holy Guards.

Xu Nian was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't think too much of it and continued on towards the Seventh Safe Zone.

When he arrived at the Seventh Safe Zone, he found that this security zone also lacked any Holy Guards lying in wait to assassinate him.

Xu Nian immediately felt that something was amiss.

According to what the Holy Guards had said, ambushes had been set up in all nine safe zones,

with each security zone guarded by Holy Guards.

The fact that two consecutive security zones were devoid of Holy Guards' presence could only mean one thing.

The Xu Family had already realized that these Holy Guards were incapable of killing Xu Nian.

They began redeploying, pulling out all the Holy Guards.

The place they withdrew to was only one.

That was the place they needed to defend; it was also where Xu Nian had to go—the Ninth Safe Zone.

"Xu Tianhong, do you think by gathering all the Holy Guards together, you can kill me? You probably don't know yet that I have a powerful incarnation," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.

As long as no Battle Emperor experts acted, even if many Saints came, they would be no match for the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

"Kid, don't get too happy too soon. If you really think that way, then I assure you, even if you reach the Ninth Safe Zone, you still won't see your mother."

However, at that moment, the voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

"Eh? Could it be that the Xu Family can dispatch Battle Emperor experts?" Xu Nian was startled and asked with a frown.

Battle Emperors were bound by treaties; how could they possibly act against a Saint?

Unless the Xu Family was willing to sacrifice a Battle Emperor to trade lives with him.

However, he did not believe that the Xu Family would be willing to give up a Battle Emperor expert.

After all, cultivating a Battle Emperor was far more difficult than cultivating ten Saints.

"Hmph, kid, you're thinking too simply. Emperor-level experts can't act against Saints, but there are more methods than you can imagine in the Immortal Realm. There are places in the Immortal Realm similar to these treaties, yet the experts can conceal the heavenly secrets through some powerful methods or by using some treasures. Once the heavenly secrets are covered, no matter how they act, they will not be punished," Emperor Ye Tian snorted.

"Eh?" Hearing this, Xu Nian's pupils dilated.

If the Xu Family did the same, then he would be doomed.

If an Emperor-level expert took action, even his Undying Devouring Sky Beast avatar would only face death.

Although he had the talent of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast and might be reborn after tens of thousands of years.

But for him, ten thousand years was too remote; by then, the relatives he cared about would no longer be there.

What was the point of him being alive?

"Kid, don't worry. What I said is just a special case. With the foundation of the Xu Family, it's impossible for them to have such methods and treasures," Emperor Ye Tian spoke.

Hearing this, Xu Nian heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Since the Xu Family didn't have such methods, why did Emperor Ye Tian scare him?

"However, although the Xu Family does not have methods to conceal heavenly secrets, those Battle Emperor experts can still act in another way," Emperor Ye Tian spoke again.

"What method?" Xu Nian eagerly asked.

"They can suppress their Cultivation, sealing most of their Emperor-level power, so that they appear to be at the Battle Saint level. But their comprehension and battle experience, as well as the quality of their spiritual energy, are beyond what you can compare with. If you encounter a Body Cultivation whose Cultivation has broken through to Emperor Level, the outcome will be even worse. Their physical bodies are extremely powerful, and you are still no match for them," Emperor Ye Tian revealed.

"What can I do then?" Xu Nian quickly asked.

He had no doubt about Emperor Ye Tian's words.

Battle Emperor experts were already at the threshold of Profound Argumentation in terms of realm comprehension.

Once they entered the Profound Argumentation threshold, it was a completely different level from those who hadn't entered.

Facing true Profound Argumentation, he feared that he would only be overwhelmed.

"There's only one way, and that is to fight. You must fight even if you cannot win!"

Emperor Ye Tian answered.

Xu Nian was left speechless; wasn't this nonsense?

"Empress, can you be more specific?" Xu Nian quickly asked.

"Kid, you really have no patience. Alright, I won't keep you in suspense anymore. If you want to get through this crisis and save your mother, the only thing you can rely on is your Black Jade. It hides a great secret, and if you can uncover it, even if more Battle Emperors come, you will not fear them," Emperor Ye Tian said.

"Black Jade?" An expression of surprise appeared on Xu Nian's face.
