Divine King of Honour-Chapter 506: Endless Fury
"What's happening? Why are there two Heavenly Tribulations?"
The crowd in the distance all showed surprised expressions.
This Heavenly Punishment was meant for Elder Hai, wasn't it?
Why would it attack Xu Nian too?
"Boom!"
However, there was no time for the onlookers to ponder.
That terrifying thunder had already crashed down with a thunderous roar.
Elder Hai, sent flying backward, had not the slightest power to resist and was struck in the chest by that horrifying thunderbolt.
His entire chest was instantly pierced by the terrifying thunder, leaving a bloody hole.
The old man died on the spot.
Meanwhile, 'Xu Nian' watched the Heavenly Thunder plummeting from the sky with a sharp glint in his eyes.
A powerful surge emerged from his hand and slammed fiercely towards the Heavenly Thunder.
"Boom!"
The Heavenly Thunder collided with Xu Nian's palm. Xu Nian managed to sustain it for less than a second before being directly hit by the thunder.
His entire body was smashed to the ground, and he passed out on the spot.
"Is Xu Nian dead too?"
The Saints in the distance didn't understand why Heavenly Thunder had struck Xu Nian.
But they knew it was undoubtedly not good news for them.
Leng Yanran also covered her mouth, tears streaming down relentlessly.
She was about to rush towards Xu Nian's direction.
But she was stopped by an Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead, just a little injured. You don't need to come over for now," said the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
As it spoke, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast also furrowed its brows deeply.
Hearing the words of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar, Leng Yanran felt somewhat relieved, but her heart was still filled with worry.
She already knew that the formidable beast before her was Xu Nian's avatar.
If Xu Nian's avatar said it was fine, then it must be true.
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar had a grave expression.
Its true self was unharmed, but something seemed to have gone wrong with Emperor Ye Tian.
"Empress, Empress, are you alright?"
Inside Xu Nian's Mud Ball Palace, Xu Nian anxiously addressed the extremely ethereal form of Emperor Ye Tian.
Yet Emperor Ye Tian, eyes tightly shut, seemed as if she hadn't heard Xu Nian's words at all.
"Buzz!"
A shadow appeared within Xu Nian's Mud Ball Palace.
Xu Nian instantly became vigilant towards the newcomer.
"Kid, there's no need for you to be so guarded against me. Although I, Wentian Demon Sovereign, cultivate demons, I wouldn't take advantage of someone's peril," the Wentian Demon Sovereign spoke.
Hearing the Wentian Demon Sovereign's words, Xu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, my apologies for the disrespect."
"It's nothing. I understand your thinking. Being cautious is warranted, and since I've only known you for a few days, it's normal for you to be wary of me," Wentian Demon Sovereign replied, waving his hand.
Xu Nian nodded and then anxiously asked Wentian Demon Sovereign, "Demon Lord Senior, what's happened to the Empress? Why would she suddenly attract a Heavenly Tribulation?"
Xu Nian was certain that Emperor Ye Tian had been wounded by the Heavenly Tribulation.
He just couldn't understand how the Heavenly Tribulation, which was clearly drawn by the Battle Emperor, suddenly turned to attack him.
"Kid," Wentian Demon Sovereign began, "speaking of this matter, you really ought to thank this empress. I originally thought she was just using you, but it turns out she truly cares about you."
"Cares about me?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
Although he had a good relationship with Emperor Ye Tian, to say that Emperor Ye Tian cared about him...
That seemed rather impossible, didn't it?
After all, Emperor Ye Tian was not reluctant to reprimand him usually.
"Kid, I don't know what kind of feelings you have for her, but from her actions just now, she indeed cares about you a lot. Both she and I are not from this realm, and under the threat of Heavenly Punishment, we can only conceal all of our auras to prevent the Heavenly Punishment from detecting us. Yet, she chose to make a move to save you, obviously exposing herself to the Heavenly Punishment. That's why the Heavenly Thunder descended to strike you," the Wentian Demon Sovereign explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was momentarily stunned.
So that was the reason why he was targeted by the Heavenly Punishment.

And Emperor Ye Tian, knowing full well the risk to herself, had nevertheless chosen to act.
She was literally risking her life to save him!
This realization sent tremors through Xu Nian's spirit.
He could never have imagined that Emperor Ye Tian would willingly risk being obliterated by the Heavenly Punishment just to save him.
"How is she now, is there any way to save her?" Xu Nian asked urgently.
"You can rest assured on that point. After all, she is a Divine Sovereign of the Divine World. The Heavenly Thunder just now wasn't too strong. Although it injured her Divine Soul Origin, it wasn't too damaging. She's not going to die for now, but that's only temporary. As for waking her up, I'm afraid you'll need some soul-nourishing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Moreover, during this time, you must use your Soul power to continuously nourish her Divine Soul; otherwise, her Divine Soul will continue to deteriorate. Once it completely collapses, she will truly be finished," said Wentian Demon Sovereign with a sigh.
Hearing this, Xu Nian was rendered speechless.
He didn't expect Emperor Ye Tian to be so seriously injured.
"Lady Emperor, rest assured. I will definitely save you, I will find those soul-nourishing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
After finishing speaking, he mobilized the Soul power within his Mud Ball Palace, enveloping Emperor Ye Tian.
He nourished her Divine Soul bit by bit, delaying the deterioration of her Soul origin.
Wentian Demon Sovereign observed this scene, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he thought to himself, "Kid, I really don't know from where you get such great Fortune, to have a Divine Sovereign of the Divine World care for you in such a way. Using Soul power for nourishment is truly a wondrous utility, consider it a big gift from this old man to you. Don't thank me too much, ha ha."
Wentian Demon Sovereign laughed heartily in his heart, then his figure disappeared from inside Xu Nian's Mud Ball Palace.
Xu Nian, however, was looking at Emperor Ye Tian suspended in front of the great hall of the Mud Ball Palace.
His eyes then burst forth with intense Killing Intent.
"Eighth Prince, I, Xu Nian, have noted this vendetta today; one day, I will make you pay for your actions," Xu Nian's Soul origin clenched into a fist, his body surging with intense Killing Intent.
It was the Eighth Prince who led Emperor Ye Tian to such a state, the root of it all.
The Eighth Prince has not only sent people to seize Leng Yanran but has also caused Emperor Ye Tian to fall to this state.
Xu Nian would not let this vendetta go easily, no matter what.
...
At this moment, within the forest.
The three Battle Saint Level powerhouses, upon seeing Elder Hai killed, began to harbor thoughts of retreat.
But before they could move, they felt a chill behind them.
When they turned around, they saw the gigantic figure of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast standing behind them, looking down at them with cold indifference.
"Run!"
All three Saints had the same thought in their minds.
"Hmph, think you can run? Dream on!"
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar let out a cold snort.
Its terrifying claws swiftly left countless afterimages in the air.
In just an instant, including the Peak of Body King powerhouse, all three Saints were reduced to shreds.
However, the Killing Intent in the eyes of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar did not diminish in the slightest.
