Divine King of Honour

After stripping the young man, Xu Nian left the grand hall with Ice Blue.

During the time when the young man was disrobing, Ice Blue turned her head away.

Turn a blind eye for purity.

According to her thoughts, it would have been better to kill this young man with a single sword strike.

Why go to such trouble.

However, Xu Nian's decision was not interfered with by her.

She also felt it was her fortune to have a master who was not too cold-blooded.

After Xu Nian and his party left the grand hall, they ventured deeper into the relic.

From that young man's possession, Xu Nian had acquired many treasures.

There were no less than five thousand Spirit Stone Tree Eyes alone, among which ten were surprisingly Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

This was undoubtedly a tremendous fortune.

In addition, there were three Low-grade Spirit Artifacts and five bottles of Spirit Pills.

Xu Nian gave Ice Blue two bottles and kept three for himself.

Ice Blue had no objections, even if Xu Nian gave her nothing at all.

She found it entirely normal.

"Eh, Hall Master, what is that?" Ice Blue suddenly asked, pointing at a structure on a nearby island.

That island was not a palace but a plaza.

However, on this plaza, there were twelve platforms arranged.

Each platform had a stone pillar.

Each of these pillars contained a powerful fluctuating energy, and each had its own unique fluctuations.

At that moment, there were already people trying to ascend the platforms.

Yet, they were always knocked down by an invisible force.

"This must be the place where the Ancient Sect's disciples receive their inheritance," Xu Nian surmised to himself.

The energy fluctuations on these pillars must be Inheritance Energy.

"Buzz!"

As expected, just then, a young man ascended a platform.

A burst of light erupted from one of the stone pillars.

This burst of light immediately shot into the young man's body.

The young man was as if enlightened by a divine teaching.

Infinite strength surged continuously into his body.

One-star Battle Saint, Two-star Battle Saint...

The young man's cultivation soared rapidly.

Eventually, it ascended directly to the level of Seven-star Battle Saint.

"Haha, fantastic, Seven-star Battle Saint, I've jumped six stars," the young man laughed heartily, his laughter filled with intense excitement.

The people around were deeply moved.

This guy was so lucky.

To receive an inheritance that boosted his cultivation by six stars at once.

Now, the crowd around became even more desperate.

One by one, they crazily tried to ascend the platforms as if they wanted to obtain this inheritance.

After all, improving one's own cultivation directly was more tangible than acquiring any treasure.

"Shall we give it a try?" Xu Nian said to Ice Blue.

Ice Blue shook her head.

Her cultivation had just broken through recently, and she had already reached the realm of a Nine-star Demon Emperor.

Even being enlightened like that wouldn't be much help to her.

Xu Nian just smiled, then he flew toward one of the platforms.

Just as Xu Nian was about to reach the platform.

He suddenly felt a powerful repelling force coming towards him, directly forcing Xu Nian back.

Indeed, this repelling force was what prevented people from entering the platform.

"As expected, this inheritance isn't easy to obtain," Xu Nian said with a slight smile.

Immediately, his eyes became sharp.

Then, he directly summoned an Immortal Sword.

Without hesitation, he struck with a sword.

"Buzz!"

A terrifying Sword Radiance instantly scattered the repelling force.

A wave of impact immediately drew the attention of everyone around.

They all used their own power to resist this repelling force.

This young man, however, opened it directly with a single sword.

How terrifying was the power of this one sword?

Yet Xu Nian did not pay attention to the gazes of the people.

He sheathed the immortal sword in his hand and swept towards the platform.

This strike utilized the newly comprehended Second Level Wind Wave.

It was enormously powerful.

It could be said it was Xu Nian's most powerful strike besides the Evil Extermination Sword Array.

Indeed, the might of this strike did not disappoint him.

"Buzz!"

Just as Xu Nian reached the platform in an instant,

A strong fluctuation emanated from behind him on the platform.

Following that, a majestic power poured directly into Xu Nian's body.

Xu Nian felt the surge of power flooding into him, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.

He promptly mobilized his own Green Lotus of the Dan Sea and the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique to absorb this power.

As Xu Nian absorbed, the power was continually being consumed far and wide.

Xu Nian's cultivation also steadily increased.

"Buzz!"

A powerful vibration came from within Xu Nian.

Xu Nian's spiritual cultivation ascended from Two-star War Emperor Level to Five-star War Emperor Level.

His body refining cultivation advanced from Two-star Body Emperor Level to the peak of Four-star Body Emperor.

Those around were so shocked they could hardly speak.

They were not astounded by the degree of Xu Nian's cultivation enhancement.

But rather, they were surprised by Xu Nian's own cultivation.

Spirit Body Dual Cultivation, both reaching Emperor-level cultivation.

What was terrifying was that this fellow seemed younger than everyone present.

What kind of frightening talent was this?

What had created such a monstrous being?

Xu Nian, however, wasn't concerned with everyone's astonishment.

At this moment, he was immersed in the sensation of the rapid increase in power.

By now, the energy within the stone pillar had been absorbed by him.

The gains were not small, however.

"Buzz!"

Just then,

Xu Nian suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the back of his neck.

He swiftly turned around only to find that a sharp sword had penetrated the stone pillar behind him.

And this sword, continuing its relentless trajectory, was speeding towards Xu Nian.

The energy it contained was enough to kill a Nine-star War Emperor level powerhouse.

Xu Nian dared not delay and immediately summoned the Star Shield.

"Clang!"

The sword struck the Star Shield, emitting an extreme quivering sound.

Xu Nian felt his arm go numb from the intense shock.

His body rapidly shot backward.

Xu Nian created seven or eight large craters on the hard ground before dissipating the terrifying force.

The crowd around was profoundly shocked.

They hastily retreated.

Xu Nian then looked up in the direction the sword had come from, a strong iciness gleaming in his eyes.

Had it not been for his quick reflexes and the Star Shield,

That sword could very likely have taken his life.

In the air ahead of Xu Nian, there stood a young man.

It was this young man who had unleashed that sword strike.

"A Nine-star War Emperor Peak?" Xu Nian furrowed his brows.

The young man's cultivation was frighteningly high.

Though only twenty-four years old, he possessed the cultivation of a Nine-star War Emperor Peak.

But what truly made Xu Nian somber,

Was the presence of an old man standing behind this young man.

Though the old man seemed unremarkable in demeanor,

Xu Nian sensed a terrifying aura of death from him,

An aura even the Sea Demon King had not given him.

"Not bad at all, to withstand my sword strike. I didn't expect to find such a talent on this rubbish continent," the young man said with a light laugh.

His tone was unhurried, laced with disdain and arrogance.

Xu Nian was shocked.

He hadn't expected this young man to come from another continent.

Then the cultivation of this old man might be...

With this thought, Xu Nian's brows furrowed even deeper.
