Divine King of Honour
Chapter 1895: Entering the Netherworld God Temple
Is the Taicang Sword Formation really so powerful?
Xu Nian was instantly gripped by an uncontrollable excitement.
If he could master this Taicang Sword Formation, wouldn’t he have the power to protect himself in the Divine World?
"Don’t be too happy too soon. This Taicang Sword Formation is not so easily mastered. First of all, it must be composed of 144 specially crafted Divine Swords to form a complete formation, and these swords must be infused with a material called Black Nether Gold, which is extremely rare even in the Divine World. To infuse it into 144 swords is almost impossible." Emperor Ye Tian’s voice echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian also displayed a heavy expression.
Indeed, a sword formation capable of contending with the God Emperor Level wouldn’t be easy to master.
"Master, please teach me the refining method of this sword formation. No matter how difficult, I must give it a try." Xu Nian said determinedly.
He knew that the path he was about to take would be incredibly challenging.
Once he ascends to the Divine World, he would face even more brutal predicaments.
Without sufficient strength at that time, he might very well lose his life.
"Alright! However, this sword formation does have an advantage; it can be completed in several stages. The first stage can be accomplished with just twelve swords, and once completed, it can also slay Peak of God Level experts." Emperor Ye Tian said.
After speaking, Emperor Ye Tian handed over the refining method of the sword formation to Xu Nian.
Feeling the new information in his mind, Xu Nian’s face immediately showed an expression of ecstatic joy.
Just as Emperor Ye Tian had said, the sword formation did not require him to refine all 144 swords at once; they could be forged in batches.
By first forming a Small Taicang Sword Formation, he could also utilize the swords to slay enemies.
As the number of swords multiplied, the power of the formation would also increase exponentially.
Seeing this information, Xu Nian gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the materials for these swords had very high requirements.
Moreover, the refining method must be through the process of creating a Lifebound Divine Artifact.
This means that if these Divine Swords were damaged, Xu Nian himself would be severely injured.
As such, the materials Xu Nian used to refine these Divine Swords had to be excellent.
If, during a battle, a Divine Sword were to break, wouldn’t Xu Nian suffer severe injuries?
Considering this, Xu Nian became more cautious in the refining of the Divine Swords for the Small Taicang Sword Formation.
Without finding the perfect materials, he wouldn’t easily proceed with refining.
"I happen to know of an excellent refining material suitable for you." Emperor Ye Tian’s voice suddenly rang out.
"What material?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
The most precious refining material he had on him was only at the Divine Artifact Level.
While such materials were enough for refining ordinary Divine Artifacts, Xu Nian felt they were far from sufficient for his Lifebound Divine Artifact.
Even the God King Sword was inadequate.
So he was surprised by the suitable refining material Emperor Ye Tian mentioned he knew.
"Hmph, the hardest material in this world is none other than a Godhood. Even at my peak, destroying a Godhood was no easy feat." Emperor Ye Tian said.
"Master, do you mean to use a Godhood for refining? But Godhood is so hard, how would I melt it down?" Xu Nian was shocked.
"Without the Devouring God Worm, it would indeed be impossible. However, now that you have it, refining Godhood weapons isn’t difficult." Emperor Ye Tian stated.
"What do you mean, Master?" Xu Nian asked, confused.
Though the Devouring God Worm could consume Godhood, it could only do so once it reached maturity.
To consume a Godhood, the Devouring God Worm needed to complete four evolutions, taking 400,000 years in total?
Even if time in the Chaos Divine Palace were a hundred times faster, it would still require 4,000 years.
"Hmph, indeed, the Devouring God Worm needs to mature to easily consume a Godhood, but after its first evolution, in its juvenile stage, you can use a secret technique to let it consume a Godhood, absorbing its essence. The price is the worm will sleep for a thousand years, but for you, this is not an issue. Once you activate the third level of the Chaos Divine Palace, time will accelerate a thousandfold, reducing a millennium to a single year." Emperor Ye Tian explained.
Xu Nian was surprised upon hearing this.
Could it be done this way?
In that case, he only needed twelve years to refine twelve Godhood Divine Swords?
Thinking of this, Xu Nian was filled with excitement.
If he really refined Godhood weapons, he’d have no worry about them being damaged.
"Besides the Devouring God Worm, you also need a divine fire called the Sun God Fire to help refine the Godhood essence." Emperor Ye Tian continued.
Hearing this, Xu Nian felt a bit overwhelmed.
Obtaining Black Nether Gold, Godhoods, and Sun God Fire wouldn’t be easy.
Both the Taicang Sword Formation and God-level Puppet were not short-term accomplishments.
"Forget it, better to cultivate first. I’ll leave once the examination ends." Xu Nian murmured to himself.
After checking the grand hall for any other notable items, Xu Nian entered into an insight realm.
While he already could contend with some Peak of Divine Level strong people, those were ones with a low insight realm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Realistically, against those with higher insight realms, Xu Nian would be powerless.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian concentrated on understanding the Wind Attribute Great Tao True Intent.
Only by improving his own strength could he have a foothold.
For three years, Xu Nian immersed himself in comprehension.
...
In a rare secluded small world within the Netherworld, there was a massive Divine Palace City.
The city, built on an immense mountain peak, reached nearly a million feet high, so large that a Divine-level experts would need ten days to circle it.
The peak was hidden in clouds and mist, visible only at mid-mountain.
It resembled a sprawling ancient beast.
A large plaza at the mountain’s base was filled with hundreds of people.
These were mostly Divine-level practitioners, their strength not weak, most being late stage Divine Level and Peak of Divine Level.
Yet among them, one seemed out of place.
That person was only of Nether Emperor Level cultivation.
Indeed, it was Xu Nian, who had passed the examination.
With three years concluded, this examination trial had perfectly ended.
Everyone present had passed the examination.
Most had noticed Xu Nian’s cultivation level, initially surprised.
Soon, they lost interest or assumed Xu Nian was lucky to pass.
Xu Nian ignored such thoughts.
He was examining this small world.
Yes, this was the main location of the Netherworld God Temple.
Unsure if the Netherworld Lord was in this small world.
