Divine King of Honour

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had passed.

Bu Keng was pacing back and forth around the God King Tripod.

Clearly, he felt that Xu Nian's time inside the Divine Tripod was excessively lengthy.

"Ten days have passed; why is there still no movement from Xu Nian?" Bu Keng asked with growing impatience.

Hong Xiang, who was sitting cross-legged nearby, slowly opened her eyes.

First, she glanced at the God King Tripod, which remained utterly still.

Then she rolled her eyes at Bu Keng beside her.

This guy was alright a couple of days ago, content with clutching the acquired Spiritual Medicine and sneaking in some dumb laughs.

But as time dragged on, he simply couldn't sit still any longer.

He paced around the God King Tripod.

Even occasionally trying to climb on top of the Tripod, claiming he wanted to check on Xu Nian's Cultivation progress.

If not for Hong Xiang's intervention, this guy might really have climbed inside the Divine Tripod.

Of course, that was impossible.

The God King Tripod had already recognized Xu Nian as its master.

After Xu Nian entered the Divine Tripod, he had placed restrictions on it.

Unless someone with superior strength forcibly broke in,

no one could enter the Tripod without Xu Nian's permission.

However, Hong Xiang was somewhat curious.

Bu Keng seemed to have been doing nothing, but his strength appeared to have increased significantly.

It seemed he had broken through to the Zifu Middle-stage Realm.

This puzzled Hong Xiang.

The guy didn't seem to cultivate at all, so how did he achieve a breakthrough out of the blue?

But then she remembered this guy was always an oddball and dismissed the thought.

"Boom!"

Just at that moment, a loud noise erupted from the God King Tripod.

The entire massive tripod violently shook.

"What's going on?" Both Hong Xiang and Bu Keng showed surprised expressions.

Even Xuan Hong, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes to look toward the God King Tripod.

Inside the God King Tripod at this moment,

a black and a white figure were engaged in fierce combat.

Both were fighting barehanded.

And the battle just now had created an impact storm caused by their colliding fists.

"Boom!"

As their fists collided again, the powerful recoil from the impact forced the two fighters to retreat.

Both figures floated away into the distance.

The fight had been almost evenly matched.

If anyone were there, they would be astonished to find

that although the two individuals wore different clothes, their appearance and stature were almost identical.

If there was any difference, it was that the Black Robed Man had not black, but crimson-red eyes.

Indeed, this Black Robed Man was also Xu Nian.

It was the human form transformed from the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar after its breakthrough into the Zifu Realm.

As for Xu Nian, his Divine Demon Refining Body had reached the early stages of Vajra Realm.

Once the Divine Demon Refining Body entered the Vajra Realm, it experienced a qualitative leap compared to before.

Now, Xu Nian could regenerate his severed limbs, and the strength of his physique was extremely terrifying.

As long as the Undying Devouring Sky Beast didn't use its horrific claws,

Xu Nian's physical strength nearly matched that of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

Speaking of actual combat power, without using his Talent Divine Abilities, Xu Nian was enough to rival those at the Peak of Zifu Realm.

If he were to use his Talent Divine Abilities, even in the Early Stage Cave Void Realm, Xu Nian could put up a fight.

The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar was no different, possessing an incredibly robust body, further enhanced by the power of space.

Under the middle stages of the Cave Void Realm, it stood on an unbeatable footing.

"Buzz!"

With a mere thought, a tiny flame burst forth from the tip of Xu Nian's finger.

"What a powerful flame; this must be the Innate True Fire of the Red Fire Flame Dragon. It can actually devour other flames to purify itself. This is convenient; it will save me the trouble of having to look for other flames for Artifact Refining. I just need to let the Innate True Fire continuously absorb other flames," Xu Nian joyfully thought to himself.

Having consumed the Red Fire Flame Dragon Bloodline, he naturally gained the ability of the Red Fire Flame Dragon's Innate True Fire.

This Innate True Fire of the Red Fire Flame Dragon was considerably potent.

Not even experts in the Cave Void Realm could necessarily withstand the terrifying invasion of this flame.

Should it be unleashed unexpectedly in battle, it would certainly be a formidable killing move.

"It's time to go outside; otherwise, they might start getting anxious," Xu Nian said with a slight smile.

He then retracted the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar into his body and transformed into a streak of light, exiting the God King Tripod.

Carrying a space with oneself was incredibly convenient for Xu Nian.

However, the space within the God King Tripod was, after all, only a simple space meant for those at lower levels.

Compared to Chen Wudi's Star Tower, it was far inferior.

If given the chance in the future, he would still need to acquire new spatial artifacts.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian's figure appeared in the outside world.

Bu Keng and Hong Xiang both looked at Xu Nian, startled.

"Have you had a breakthrough?" they asked in unison.

"Mm, my Body Cultivation just broke through to the Vajra Realm," Xu Nian answered with a smile.

The breakthrough of his Body Cultivation to the Vajra Realm had resulted in a thorough transformation of Xu Nian's body.

His skin's surface and even his internal organs had undergone a radical change.

Thus, Xu Nian's entire aura had completely transformed.

Compared to before, his aura had become more profound and more stable.

Yet within this stability, there was an added hint of an ethereal Divine Buddha-like quality.

That was why Bu Keng and Hong Xiang were able to tell at first glance that Xu Nian had made a breakthrough.

"Where do we go next?" Hong Xiang asked.

Bu Keng also looked towards Xu Nian, as he had no destination in mind himself.

After some thought, he figured it was better to follow Xu Nian.

Perhaps he could reap some rewards.

Like the last time when he obtained a great deal of Spiritual Medicine.

Xu Nian hadn't asked for it back, so he naturally kept it for himself.

After hearing Hong Xiang's question, a light smile appeared on Xu Nian's face: "To the Lingxi Sect!"

"To the Lingxi Sect? For what?" both Hong Xiang and Bu Keng asked, looking surprised.

Xu Nian smiled mysteriously and with a gesture summoned an invitation to his hand.

"The Lingxi Sect is hosting their tri-millennial Sect celebration. They will open the Sword King Tower for swordsmen from all over to witness the ceremony and even hold a competition. Whoever is fortunate enough to win the top prize will be able to draw from the Sword King Tower's legacy," Xu Nian said cheerfully.

"The Sword King Tower? Is that the place where the Sword Immortal Bai Xi attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality?" Bu Keng quickly asked.

"Exactly. Bai Xi Sword Immortal is known as the gentleman among sword immortals. His Bai Xi Sword Technique is world-renowned. When he first entered the early stages of the Earth Immortal Realm, he fought ten Earth Immortal experts with his own strength, four of whom were at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal level. Yet in the end, all ten perished under his Bai Xi Sword," Hong Xiang said.

"That powerful?" Bu Keng's eyes widened with amazement.

Xu Nian too showed a trace of surprise.

He knew of Bai Xi Sword Immortal's prowess,

but he had never heard about the feat of him fighting against ten Earth Immortals.

"Mm, the Lingxi Sect was established by him. When he ascended, he left his legacy within his Bai Xi Sword. It is said that whoever manages to draw the sword will attain the entirety of Bai Xi Sword Immortal's legacy. The sword has been in the Sword King Tower since his ascension, and to this day, no one has been able to remove it and claim his legacy. This is also why the Lingxi Sect has gradually declined," Hong Xiang nodded and explained.

Xu Nian nodded; he was interested in visiting the Lingxi Sect precisely to see this legendary Blade of the Sword King referred to as Bai Xi Sword.

"Then isn't this Bai Xi Sword very valuable? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Bu Keng said with gleaming eyes.

Xu Nian and Hong Xiang exchanged glances, instantly understanding what this money-grubbing companion was thinking.
