Divine King of Honour-Chapter 602: Prelude to the Great Battle

The clouds of tribulation in the sky gradually dissipated.

The entire valley also slowly returned to calm.

A gentle breeze swept through, and the dust that filled the air began to fade away at this moment.

The appearance of the valley came into everyone's view.

What was once a crisp and graceful valley had become a ravaged mess after the tribulation.

The ground was cracked, and the surroundings were scorched black.

It could be said to be a sight of utter devastation.

"Swoosh!"

Yann Xi and the others swiftly floated down from the mountaintop, anxiously searching for Xu Nian's figure.

"Brother Xu Nian, where are you?"

Yann Xi was so anxious she was nearly crying, quickly searching throughout the valley.

"He's there!"

Long Yun pointed to a deep pit in one direction of the valley.

Yann Xi, upon hearing this, hurried over.

She saw a huge deep pit in front of her.

Xu Nian was lying in the center of the deep pit, his clothing torn and tattered.

His perfectly sculpted muscular outline was almost clearly visible.

However, at this moment, Xu Nian's eyes were closed, and he was completely still.

"Brother Xu Nian, what happened to you, don't die!" Yann Xi immediately rushed over emotionally.

She directly embraced Xu Nian in her arms, her face streaming with tears.

"Don't worry, he's fine, he's probably just suffered some injuries, he should wake up soon," Long Yun said after taking a glance at Xu Nian.

"Really?" Yann Xi asked somewhat doubtfully.

"Really, you can see his aura is still present, that should mean he's okay," Long Yun said.

Yann Xi, feeling the breath emanating from Xu Nian's body, finally stopped her tears.

Yet, the look in her eyes towards Xu Nian was still filled with heartache and worry.

Xu Nian's soul, at this moment, had returned to the Mud Ball Palace.

The surface of his Spirit Lake was emitting strong fluctuations.

A powerful golden light emitted directly from his surface.

A golden character appeared in front of Xu Nian's soul origin.

This golden character pulsed with powerful vibrations, its light shining upon Xu Nian's body.

It directly made Xu Nian's soul even stronger.

"What's going on, why did this character from the Wordless Heavenly Scripture appear, and why do I feel like my soul power has suddenly become much stronger?" Xu Nian looked at the golden character in front of him, his heart filled with intense confusion.

He was still clueless about the function of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.

Just like now, this golden character suddenly emerged, causing his soul power to skyrocket.

And Xu Nian didn't know why.

However, having a stronger soul was completely a good thing for Xu Nian.

"Buzz!"

The level of Xu Nian's soul skyrocketed, eventually elevating to the level of a Nine-star War Emperor.

That is to say, Xu Nian's cultivation might only be at the One-star Battle Emperor level, but his soul strength was now comparable to that of a Nine-star War Emperor.

Now that his soul had grown stronger and given his mastery of soul attack techniques, he definitely had an additional ace up his sleeve.

"Crack!"

As Xu Nian's soul power grew stronger.

That golden character also shattered and finally dissipated within the Mud Ball Palace.

Xu Nian was startled, as he could clearly feel the complete dispersal of the golden character.

"It seems that these thousand-plus golden characters are used one less with each one. I wonder what other effects the remaining characters have," Xu Nian mused to himself.

Having said that, his consciousness then withdrew from the Mud Ball Palace and returned to his physical body.

"Hum!"

Xu Nian opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

At that moment, he moved slightly and felt a heart-piercing pain transmit throughout his body.

"Brother Nian, you've finally woken up?" Upon seeing Xu Nian awake, Yann Xi's face immediately revealed an excited smile.

"Silly girl, what are you crying for? It's not like I'm dead," Xu Nian said with a smile as he patted Yann Xi's head.

He then stood up with the support of Yann Xi.

"Brother Xu Nian is truly astonishing, to break through to the Battle Emperor Realm and attract a Third Level Heavenly Prohibition Tribulation, and what's more, to actually have survived it—this is something I really admire," Long Yun said admiringly.

Behind him, the Tree-man Elder and Guard Zhu Yan also sincerely nodded their heads.

As for Little Zhu Yan, he was looking at Xu Nian with a face full of admiration,

silently vowing in his heart to become as powerful as Xu Nian one day.

Xu Nian, however, could only offer a bitter smile.

Attracting a Third Level Heavenly Prohibition Tribulation might seem impressive to others, but to Xu Nian, it was an incredibly wretched situation.

Because such a tribulation had almost cost him his life.

If he had a choice, he would prefer not to have such an ostentatious opportunity.

"Brother Xu Nian, what are you planning to do next?" Long Yun asked Xu Nian.

"I plan to take Yann Xi back to Tianhuang City," Xu Nian replied.

This had been his plan all along.

He had originally intended to take Yann Xi back to Tianhuang City once his cultivation had broken through.

Now the time had come.

However, upon hearing Xu Nian's words, Long Yun slightly furrowed his brows.

"I just received news that three Emperor-level strong men have arrived in Tianhuang City, one of whom carries the distinct aura of the Imperial Family. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the Eighth Prince, and they are likely coming for you," Long Yun said.

Xu Nian's brows immediately furrowed, and a surge of killing intent filled his eyes.

He had long anticipated that the Imperial Family would not let him go, but he didn't expect Emperor Tianhen to be so impatient.

Nor had he expected the Eighth Prince to be sent.

"Brother Xu Nian, although these three Battle Emperor level men are not too high in cultivation, I still must remind you—the Imperial Family is not easy to deal with. Apart from Emperor Tianhen whom you need to be cautious of, there is also an ancient adversary within the Imperial Family. This old fiend has lived for a thousand years, and his cultivation should have already broken through the Battle Emperor Level. It is precisely because of that old fiend's presence that we, the Demon Beast Forest, signed a treaty with the empire forbidding Emperor-level beings from entering each other's territories," Long Yun said solemnly.

It was evident that as the ruler of the Demon Beast Forest, he too held some apprehensions when speaking of the Imperial Family.

"An old fiend?" Xu Nian nodded.

He knew who the old fiend Long Yun was referring to was.

It was the first Emperor of the Tianhen Empire and also the nemesis of Emperor Bai.

He just hadn't expected that the very first Emperor Tianhen had also broken through the shackles of the Battle Emperor.

"Enough said, since Demon Beast Forest's Emperor-level beings cannot leave the forest, I can't send anyone to accompany you, so Little Junior Sister's safety can only be entrusted to you. If anything happens to her, I will violate the treaty and wreak havoc upon the Tianhen Empire," Long Yun said seriously.

"Don't worry, unless I die, I won't let her get hurt," Xu Nian nodded in response.

He then flew off with Yann Xi in the direction of Tianhuang City.

"Beast Emperor, are we really not sending anyone to protect Miss Yann Xi's safety?" Guard Zhu Yan asked with a frown.

Miss Yann Xi is someone the Beast God holds in high regard.

If anything were to happen to her, the Beast God would be furious.

"There's no need, I believe that Xu Nian will surely protect her well. Besides, on this continent, nobody is capable of harming Yann Xi," Long Yun said confidently.

Hearing this, Guard Zhu Yan also nodded in understanding.
