Divine King of Honour-Chapter 496: Wentian Demon Sovereign

Xu Nian gazed at the shadowy figure that suddenly appeared, his eyes betraying a deep sense of caution.

The person was clad in a Black Robe, his entire body shrouded by it.

Beneath the Black Robe was pitch darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly.

From the moment this Black Robed Man appeared,

the temperature in the great hall had plummeted sharply.

A layer of frost formed on the surrounding ground and stone pillars.

Moreover, this was not the result of normal cold, but rather of a powerful Evil Power.

So within this intense coldness, there was also a strong corrosive presence.

"Who are you?" Xu Nian asked the Black Robed Man warily.

He could feel that the body of the man before him was not solid, but like that of Emperor Ye Tian—

formed by a powerful Soul Condensing Power into an illusory image.

Emperor Ye Tian also coldly stared at the Black Robed Man, with an unfriendly gaze.

"Kid, you're quite impressive. You're much stronger than that worthless Crown Prince, possessing the powerful Nine Dragon Supreme Body and the Undying Devouring Sky Beast as your incarnation. Even the Cultivation Technique you practice is that which the Green Emperor cultivated. No wonder you've been able to grow so rapidly in this Lost Land," the voice of the Black Robed Man resonated once again.

Having said this, he removed the black hat from his head to reveal an elderly face.

However, his eyes were bright and piercing, immeasurably profound.

Xu Nian felt a shock at the old man's words.

The old man had virtually laid bare all his secrets.

The only thing he hadn't mentioned was the Kun Cave contained within the Black Jade in his body.

"Kid, don't look so astonished. Though I am left with only a Residual Soul now, I was once a Demon Lord, not that much weaker than the Goddess Emperor by your side. What she understands, I nearly all understand, so your secrets are hardly secrets in my eyes," the Black Robed elder said with a light laugh upon seeing Xu Nian's surprised face.

Xu Nian was instantly at a loss for words.

Another Divine-level figure?

It seemed to be a Demon Lord indeed.

He had already been handling Emperor Ye Tian, who resided within him, with great caution.

Now another such Demon Lord had arrived.

Could his body possibly become a battlefield between gods and demons?

"Hmph, merely a lowly Demon Lord. If I were at the peak of my strength, I could extinguish you with just a finger," Emperor Ye Tian disdainfully scoffed.

The level of a Demon Lord was equal to that of a Divine Sovereign.

Positioned below a God Emperor.

For a God Emperor Level expert to kill a Divine Sovereign Level warrior—

it truly was an effortless feat.

"Yes, if you were at your peak, I wouldn't dare show my face, but it seems you're not faring much better than I am now," the Black Robed Man coldly smirked in response, showing no fear towards Emperor Ye Tian.

"You're courting death!"

Emperor Ye Tian instantly became enraged, her eyes glaring at the Black Robed Man.

The Black Robed Man simply sneered and indifferently said, "Save your strength. Both of us are but Residual Souls. If we truly start fighting, I'm afraid the outcome will be both sides suffering. Since we're both Residual Souls, neither desiring to enter the cycle of reincarnation and presumably both having unfulfilled desires, you want to return to your Divine World, I to my Demon World, let's each pursue our own goals and not interfere with each other."

"Hmph!" Emperor Ye Tian let out a cold snort, her eyes revealing a trace of disdain.

Yet, she no longer entertained the thought of making a move.

Apparently, she also understood that to fight now—

```

It would only make her situation all the more tragic.

By then, even if he defeated the fellow before him, it's feared she would have to pay an irreversible price.

"Since you want to return to the Demon Realm, please leave and stay away from Xu Nian," Emperor Ye Tian warned the Black Robed Man, his rage subsiding.

However, the Black Robed Man simply laughed.

"You know that we can't return to our respective worlds with our own strength, not even walk out of this Lost Land. Only by relying on someone else's power is there a glimmer of hope. Yet, in this Mortal World, there are too few capable of ascending to the Divine and Demon Worlds. Having finally found such hope, do you think I would give it up?" the Black Robed Man said with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't care what you think. Xu Nian is someone I've trained step by step. You should find someone else," Emperor Ye Tian snorted coldly.

A direct declaration of sovereignty.

"What if I just insist on not leaving?" the Black Robed Demon Venerable said with a defiant face.

"Then I am prepared to pay the price to completely annihilate you," Emperor Ye Tian stated.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The Black Robed Demon Venerable seemed to be provoked, his eyes growing angry.

For a moment, Emperor Ye Tian and the Black Robed Demon Venerable stood at a standoff, their towering auras clashing and standing in opposition within the great hall.

The stone pillars and floor around them were shattered by their frightening auras, and the cracks kept worsening.

"Hey, both of you big shots, can you consider my feelings?" Xu Nian finally couldn't help but speak up.

These two were actually fighting over him right in front of his eyes.

What did they take him for?

Hearing Xu Nian's shout, the two mighty figures finally stopped their fight.

"Little boy, as long as you follow me, I will definitely train you to become the first Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, which is far better than following this Goddess Emperor," the Black Robed Demon Venerable offered.

"Hmph, you yourself are a Demon Lord and still want to train a Demon Emperor? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Emperor Ye Tian immediately scoffed.

"You..." The Black Robed Demon Venerable was suddenly at a loss for words.

A wave of cold sweat broke out on Xu Nian as well.

But he still said, "Lord Demon Venerate, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I don't want to follow the path of Demon Cultivation. The Goddess Emperor has been gracious to me; I cannot abandon her. However, if you don't mind, you can continue to stay in the storage ring. If there is a chance in the future, I can help you restore your body and send you to the Demon Realm."

"Ha ha, little fellow, you're afraid that I'll suddenly seize your body, aren't you? Trying to have the Goddess Emperor restrain me is quite clever. Well, I don't have anywhere else to go for now, so I'll stay in that storage ring. If I find someone more suitable in the future, I'll leave. Of course, if you ever wish to walk the path of Demon Cultivation, you can call me out at any time," the Demon Lord laughed heartily.

Xu Nian felt somewhat embarrassed.

That was indeed what he had thought.

Emperor Ye Tian and this mysterious Demon Lord were at odds.

If she won, all would be well.

But if she lost, not just Emperor Ye Tian would suffer the consequences.

Even Xu Nian would face the danger of being possessed.

Without Emperor Ye Tian's help,

Xu Nian would be nothing but a lamb to the slaughter before this godlike Demon Sovereign.

Instead of letting that happen, it would be better to stabilize him first.

Emperor Ye Tian just snorted coldly but didn't speak.

Clearly, she didn't really want to end in mutual destruction with this formidable Demon Sovereign.

"Little boy, remember that my name is Mo Wentian, and from now on you can call me Wentian Demon Sovereign. If you ever need something, feel free to seek me out. I'm off to take a nap," Mo Wentian yawned, then once again burrowed into the skull atop the storage ring.

"Keep him close and be very careful, this fellow definitely has ulterior motives."

Emperor Ye Tian warned before retreating back into the Mud Ball Palace of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

Watching this, Xu Nian could only show an inevitably bitter and helpless smile.
