Divine King of Honour-Chapter 579: Mysterious Strongman

"Big brother, I can’t believe you’ve actually broken through to the Body Emperor Realm."

Xu Yu and Black Wind expressed shock and admiration on their faces as Bull Demon King recounted the scene of Xu Nian wreaking havoc in the Beast Taming Sect.

They originally thought they had encountered a stroke of luck,

which would allow them to close the gap with Xu Nian.

However, they didn’t realize that Xu Nian had improved so much.

Once again, he left them far behind.

"It was just a fluke; I encountered some fortunes, which allowed me to break through," Xu Nian spoke.

"I always said big brother’s fortune was stronger than ours; if we encountered fortunes, big brother surely wouldn’t fall behind," Xu Yu commented.

"Right, I’ve been meaning to ask you two, both of your cultivations have improved so much, what happened?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing Xu Nian’s question, the faces of Xu Yu, Black Wind, and Bull Demon King all turned serious.

"Let me explain," Black Wind said after thinking, "This needs to start from when we were being chased by two Nine-star War Saints of the empire."

Xu Nian nodded and listened intently.

"We were quickly caught up by two Nine-star War Saint level powerhouses as they chased us, so the three of us pooled our efforts to resist, but we were no match for them and soon succumbed to severe injuries," Black Wind started.

Xu Yu and Bull Demon King nodded.

Even thinking back now, they still felt the situation back then was extremely perilous.

"What happened after that?" Xu Nian pressed on.

"Being severely injured, the three of us fled continuously and soon reached a mountain forest. It was there that we encountered an elder," explained Black Wind.

"An elder?" astonishment crossed Xu Nian’s face.

"Yes, that elder was very powerful. At that time, we were all seriously injured, and it was he who sent Mo Hen to fend off those two Nine-star War Saints," Xu Yu hastily added.

Xu Nian then turned to look at Mo Hen.

"Actually, it wasn’t my merit. Originally, when I was being chased by the Beast Taming Sect, it was the senior who saved me. I stayed with him thereafter, and when Xu Yu and the others fled there, I also drove those two Nine-star War Saints away with a strand of Spiritual Energy the senior infused into me," Mo Hen quickly explained.

"And what does this have to do with your breakthroughs in cultivation? Did you break through because of that elder?" Xu Nian still didn’t understand.

"Yes, big brother, that elder was incredible. He merely infused a strand of Spiritual Energy, and after I refined and assimilated it, I directly reached the Eight-star Battle Saint Realm. Not just me, but Xu Yu and Bull Demon King as well," Black Wind hurriedly explained.

"Just a strand of Spiritual Energy allowed you to break through several realms?" Xu Nian showed a look of astonishment.

He couldn’t imagine the power level of such a person.

Who could, by just infusing Spiritual Energy, enable someone to break through several realms.

"Xu Nian, don’t be surprised. If I’m guessing correctly, the person they met might be a master beyond the Battle Emperor Level, with a cultivation at least in the Zifu Realm," Wentian Demon Sovereign’s voice echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Nian nodded.

If one could reach that realm, it would only be possible for someone stronger than a Battle Emperor, as both Wentian Demon Sovereign and Emperor Ye Tian had once told him.

Crossing the Battle Emperor and reaching Zifu, he’d achieve a completely new realm.

Then, he would understand what true cultivation is.

Although Xu Nian could hardly imagine it, he understood that a Zifu Level powerhouse would probably be even more formidable than he imagined.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yu and the others had such good fortune to meet such a predecessor.

"Where is that predecessor now?" Xu Nian immediately inquired.

"We don’t know. After helping us break through, that predecessor left not long after. However, he told us he had a certain connection with my ancestor," Xu Yu replied.

"Ancestor? Golden Crow Divine Eagle?" Xu Nian showed a look of surprise.

Golden Crow Divine Eagle was a Super Divine Beast.

"That is on par with the Nine Great Ancestor Dragons’ level of Divine Beast."

"However, that senior actually has connections with the Golden Crow Divine Eagle, which indicates his strength is quite formidable."

"It seems that my senior must be from the Demon Clan, otherwise he wouldn’t have helped you like this," Xu Nian spoke.

Whether it was Mo Hen, Xu Yu, Black Wind, or the Bull Demon King, all four are Demon Beasts.

And that senior rescued them and even helped them advance.

It shows they hold goodwill towards the Demon Clan.

Thus, Xu Nian suspected that the senior was likely a member of the Demon Clan.

"I thought so too, but that senior seems to know you as well, Big Brother," Xu Yu nodded and said.

"Know me?" Xu Nian was visibly surprised.

He had never known such a powerful figure.

How could this powerful figure know him?

"Indeed, they knew I was your Demon Beast, and he even had a message for us to pass on to you," Xu Yu continued.

Xu Nian’s expression grew even more puzzled.

"What message?" Xu Nian asked.

"He asked us to tell you, if you have the time, to visit Dark God Island, 5000 li beyond the Eastern Sea. He said if you go, you’ll have unexpected gains," Black Wind followed up.

Xu Yu nodded in agreement.

"5000 li past the Eastern Sea? Isn’t that entering the territory of the Forbidden Sea? The senior lives in the Forbidden Sea?" Xu Nian’s face showed a surprised look.

The Eastern Sea was close to the Tianhen Continent.

And 3000 li deeper into the Eastern Sea was the Forbidden Sea, a place fraught with dangers.

Filled with terrifying thunder, any cultivator attempting to cross the Forbidden Sea would invoke Heavenly Punishment.

Basically, no one would approach that forbidden maritime area.

Now Xu Yu and the others were telling him that the senior lived beyond 5000 li of the Eastern Sea.

How could Xu Nian not be shocked?

"We don’t know about that, the senior mentioned that before you leave this continent, you must find him," Xu Yu added.

"Alright, Dark God Island, I’ll remember that," Xu Nian nodded.

Although he did not know who this mysterious powerful figure was.

Nor did he know what he intended.

But just because he had saved Xu Yu and Black Wind,

Xu Nian believed that the powerful figure couldn’t be a bad person.

After all, such a powerful person,

If he indeed had ulterior motives, he certainly wouldn’t go through such roundabout measures.

A Zifu Level powerhouse, even with suppressed cultivation,

Would find it extremely easy to kill him.

However, now was not the time to leave Tianhen Continent.

After all, he still had many things left undone.

Without resolving these matters, he simply couldn’t leave the continent in peace.

"Eighth Prince, wait for me, your death is not far away," Xu Nian coldly hummed in his heart.

His fists clenched tight, and killing intent burst forth in his eyes.
