Divine King of Honour-Chapter 547: The Former Pope
He saw a blood-red scale armor perfectly fit his body.
It didn't affect his movements at all, and the scale armor had grown from inside his body.
It was just like a part of him.
Not only that, but the hardness of the scale armor was also far tougher than before.
According to Xu Nian's estimate, its toughness probably wasn't inferior to the white snake scales of the Emperor Level Demon Beast.
The Luotian Pope, watching from a distance, showed an extremely surprised expression on his face seeing Xu Nian covered in blood-colored dragon scales.
When Xu Nian had just emerged, he thought he was some kind of monster.
A closer look revealed it was Xu Nian.
But how could Xu Nian have dragon scales on his body?
And these dragon scales seemed terrifyingly powerful.
Standing there, he caused a strong visual impact, almost like an extremely fearsome killing machine.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian clenched his fist, directly causing the air to burst.
At this moment, he felt filled with limitless strength.
Rising from a Four-star Body Saint to the peak of Nine-star Body Saint was a tremendous leap.
Xu Nian was eager to try out his own strength.
He slightly bent his legs, and his body shot out like an arrow leaving its bow.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian punched towards a mountain wall.
A thunderous roar echoed as the entire mountain wall exploded instantly.
The mountain collapsed thunderously.
The Luotian Pope, watching this scene from a distance, was dumbfounded.
How had Xu Nian's strength suddenly increased so much?
Right now, Xu Nian's heart was also filled with immense excitement.
Now his physical strength was incredibly powerful, so strong that it made him feel an urge to roar up at the sky.
If he were to face the Demon Emperor at this moment, Xu Nian believed that even in hand-to-hand combat, he wouldn't fall under.
"What would the power be like if I use the Earth Fist in this state?" Xu Nian muttered to himself.
However, he gave up on trying it out.
The Earth Fist was extremely powerful; if he used it in this state, he feared a single punch might split the earth.
After all, this was the Death God Domain, and Xu Nian didn't want to cause too much commotion.
"Did your body cultivation suddenly break through to Five Stars?" asked the Luotian Pope, flying next to Xu Nian, incredulously.
"Yeah, my physique is a bit special. I can absorb the Dragon Clan's bloodline to enhance my physical strength. I just absorbed all the bloodline power of this Demon Snake. A breakthrough to Five Stars with an Emperor Level Divine Beast Bloodline Demon Beast shouldn't be too shocking, right?" Xu Nian said with a smile.
He didn't hide it from the Luotian Pope.
But he also didn't tell the whole truth.
The Luotian Pope looked utterly astonished.
So there really was such a physique in the world, no wonder the Demon Snake desperately wanted to eat Xu Nian.
Xu Nian, however, paid no attention to the Pope's expression and walked over to the giant snake.
At this moment, the giant snake was already breathless.
Having its bloodline power fully consumed by Xu Nian, how could it still be alive?
As for its soul power, it had also been absorbed by the Wentian Demon Sovereign.
"Thunk!"
Xu Nian directly pulled apart the snake scales and reached his arm into the giant snake's head.
Then, he pulled out the Demon Core.
With the core extracted, it immediately emitted powerful fluctuations.
A Demon Core from an Emperor Level Demon Beast was an invaluable treasure in the outside world.
After all, how many could hunt such a Demon Beast, and even if they could...
Who among such beings would actually sell it?
Xu Nian joyfully stored the Demon Core into his storage ring.
He would keep this Demon Core for now, perhaps it would be of great use when he broke through to the Battle Emperor Realm.
Having seen all this, Xu Nian turned back to the Luotian Pope and said to her, "The body of this giant snake contains many treasures, aren't you going to take some?"
Luotian Pope walked up to the Demon Snake too, taking some snake scales and the snake gallbladder.
Xu Nian smiled slightly. After all, Luotian Pope had accomplished quite a bit.
It was only right that she got her share.
"Can I take some as well?" Netherworld King popped out his head and asked.
"Sure!" Xu Nian nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Netherworld King immediately became overjoyed.
He ran straight to the head of the Demon Snake.
This guy was even more straightforward—he directly dismantled the giant snake's skull.
He absorbed the bone marrow strength from inside the skull.
And as Netherworld King absorbed it, the aura emanating from his body became even stronger.
His bones even became harder, and a faint luster began to emit from their surfaces.
Xu Nian could confirm that Netherworld King had officially ascended to the Battle Emperor Realm.
"Interesting, so this is how you cultivate. It looks like in the future, I'll need to find you more powerful bones to work with," Xu Nian said with a laugh.
On hearing that, Netherworld King hurriedly nodded his head in excitement.
His bare white teeth were revealed in what seemed to be a smile, but it gave off a spine-chilling vibe.
Xu Nian laughed helplessly and put away his own dragon scales.
But just as he took them back, Xu Nian felt something was off.
He looked down and felt a chill.
Looking ahead, he saw Luotian Pope staring at him with a stunned expression.
"Oh no, I forgot my clothes were corroded." Xu Nian cursed silently in his mind.
He hurriedly took out a new set of clothes from his storage ring and got dressed.
Luotian Pope also felt her face growing hot.
Although she was in her thirties, she had never been involved in romantic affairs.
She hadn't even touched a man's hand.
Now, seeing Xu Nian's body, she was somewhat at a loss.
No matter how she tried to divert her attention, the image would still pop up in her mind.
She really hadn't expected that part of a man to look like that.
And it seemed a bit… large!
Xu Nian got dressed and was also somewhat unable to look Luotian Pope in the eye.
For a moment, the atmosphere became quite awkward.
However, Xu Nian took this opportunity to dismantle the giant snake's body and store it piece by piece in his storage ring.
After finishing all this, Xu Nian turned to Luotian Pope and asked, "Shall we continue moving forward?"
Luotian Pope had regained her composure by then and nodded, "Yes, my spiritual energy has recovered, we can move on."
Xu Nian nodded and led the way with Netherworld King at the front.
Luotian Pope followed behind Xu Nian.
Netherworld King, after the recent battle, seemed a bit bolder.
He wasn't scared anymore.
He even took the initiative to lead the way.
The journey onward was quiet.
When Xu Nian and his party passed through the mountain gorge, the scene before them once again stunned them.
There was a massive altar ahead.
Countless iron chains were twisted around the altar.
And on those chains was a person bound.
This person was sitting cross-legged, with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and unmoving.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
However, a strong aura emanated from this person's body.
It was certain; this person was a supremely powerful being.
"Master… Master?" Luotian Pope stared intently at the person, excitedly calling out.
Xu Nian was also startled.
Was this Luotian Pope's master?
The former pope of the Luotian Sect?
