Divine King of Honour

The Ancient Divine Clan temporarily withdrew their troops, and the King City was considered defended.

Cheers erupted on the King City’s side.

Though they also sacrificed dozens of Divine-level experts here.

But more Divine-level experts on the opponent’s side died.

Xu Nian had already returned at this moment and seeing Zhou Wu in front of him, he respectfully said, "Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace."

"Life-saving grace may be an exaggeration. If I’m not mistaken, none of your avatars have your true self present. I suppose even if the avatars died, the true self would still live," Zhou Wu glanced at Xu Nian and said with a smile.

"Indeed, the true self is not here, but the loss from the avatars’ deaths is not insignificant," Xu Nian responded.

Zhou Wu nodded, not denying Xu Nian’s words.

With the avatars dead, Xu Nian would be unable to further cultivate these attributes, greatly diminishing his strength.

Moreover, Xu Nian’s soul origin suffered significant damage, leaving his soul incomplete; reaching a higher realm in the future would be even harder.

He might even be unable to break through to the God Emperor Realm for life.

"Alright, after your previous battle, you broke through and endured the oppression of the power of Heavenly Destiny Order. The damage to yourself was not minor. Go and rest first," Zhou Wu said.

Xu Nian nodded, then greeted Zhou Wu, Divine Emperor, and Green Snake God Emperor before leaving that place.

Xu Nian returned to the small faction where the Heavenly Court was located.

Xuanyuan Qingling, Luo Bing, and Mo Xue were all present.

Mo Xue looked at Xu Nian approaching with a face full of excitement.

"Master Xu, I broke through. I reached the Fourth Level of Law Order," Mo Xue said with excitement.

She never thought she could break through to mid-stage Divine Sovereign so quickly.

If it were normal cultivation, she would need at least five hundred, even a thousand years to reach the Fourth Level of Law Order.

Now, after one battle, not only did she not die, but she broke through to a higher realm, making Mo Xue extremely excited.

Xu Nian smiled: "As long as you obey in the future, I can make you improve faster."

"Rest assured, I promise to follow all your commands. Whatever you want, I will definitely accomplish, even if you want to dual cultivate with me, that’s fine," Mo Xue said with a grin.

Xu Nian was speechless.

Dual cultivation?

It seems that to some Divine-level experts, dual cultivation is a quite ordinary matter.

If they find it agreeable or beneficial, they can dual cultivate.

Especially among the Demon Clan or some plant-based races of Divine-level experts.

But to Xu Nian, dual cultivation is something only done between a Taoist couple.

So he would not easily accept dual cultivation.

"Go down first; since you just broke through, consolidate your realm," Xu Nian said.

"Alright, Master. Consider the dual cultivation matter," Mo Xue said with a smile.

Xu Nian ignored it, pretending not to hear.

Once Mo Xue left, Luo Bing and Xuanyuan Qingling walked over with smiles.

"If husband has such thoughts, we would not mind," Luo Bing said with a smile.

"Right, if husband has taken a liking to her, I can arrange it," Xuanyuan Qingling also spoke seriously.

Xu Nian was even more speechless.

"When did I say I wanted to dual cultivate with her? Alright, let’s not mention this again, and tell me your situation," Xu Nian asked.

"I broke through to the Third Level of Law Order; Sister Qingling broke through to the Seventh Level, having reached late-stage Divine Sovereign cultivation," Luo Bing said.

Xu Nian nodded.

They gained quite a lot from this battle.

"This time, all Four Great Avatars broke through to Divine Sovereign Realm, especially the fire attribute, which broke through to the Second Level Realm of Law Order. Now, three avatars merge, and the Power of Four Attributes stacks together, should possess the Seventh Level of Law Order’s combat strength, similar to Qingling," Xu Nian said.

His strength improved significantly this time.

One could say he was the one who gained the most.

However, because the previous Origin Liquid was entirely consumed, his Cosmic Array could no longer be deployed.

If he wanted to deploy it again, he would need a large amount of Origin Law’s power.

Moreover, to increase the array’s power, it would need to devour Chaotic Power.

Given Xu Nian’s current situation, he couldn’t sustain such a hungry entity.

His cultivation was already an extremely difficult task.

He planned to later integrate the entire Array Formation Universe into his own true universe.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian waved his hand, and a figure appeared before the three of them.

"Greetings, Master," Shi Shanshan said respectfully.

She still remained an Artifact Spirit at the moment.

Xu Nian had promised to help her regain a physical body.

But now Xu Nian couldn’t accomplish that step.

"Shi Shanshan, I promised to help you regain your physical body, but I can’t do that now. However, once I reach Divine Emperor level, I should be able to," Xu Nian said seriously.

"Master, I’m not in a hurry. I actually feel quite well now. Without you, I wouldn’t have had Divine Sovereign-level combat strength, and following you, I’ve learned lots of Artifact Refining techniques," Shi Shanshan said.

Choosing to follow Xu Nian was indeed the most wise decision she made back then.

If she hadn’t become an Artifact Spirit, Daluo God’s strength would have been her peak, and she’d never break through this bottleneck in her lifetime.

"Although I can’t help you break free now, I can still help you enhance your strength. You currently control my weapon, which includes the Nine-star Geng Gold Sword Formation. These nine swords are peak Nurture Spirit Treasure, reaching God King-level combat power. Later, when Demon-Subduing Pestle was integrated, it achieved Divine Sovereign-level combat power. I want you to merge into the Chaos Spiritual Treasure now," Xu Nian said.

"Chaos Spiritual Treasure?" Shi Shanshan was taken aback.

Xu Nian intended for her to become the Artifact Spirit of Chaos Spiritual Treasure?

Once she became the Artifact Spirit of Chaos Spiritual Treasure, her combat strength would definitely increase rapidly.

"Does Master want me to merge into the Star Axe?" Shi Shanshan quickly asked.

Xu Nian shook his head.

"I have four pieces of Chaos Spiritual Treasure: one is the Star Axe I used before, one is the Chaos Divine Palace, one is the Supreme Dragon Robe, all with the true self, and additionally I have a Chaos Bell at hand. Among them, the Star Axe and Chaos Divine Palace both possess Artifact Spirits; the Artifact Spirit of Star Axe is in slumber, so you can only merge into the Chaos Bell," Xu Nian said.

"Chaos Bell? The Chaos Bell that can be ranked among the top five Chaos Spiritual Treasures?" Shi Shanshan was incredibly shocked.

She never imagined Xu Nian possessed four pieces of Chaos Spiritual Treasure, including a Chaos Bell.

Even less did she expect Xu Nian to want her to become the Artifact Spirit of the Chaos Bell.

"Master, I may not be able to handle becoming the Artifact Spirit of the Chaos Bell. It’s too powerful, and I fear I can’t withstand it," Shi Shanshan said.

Xu Nian nodded: "I know, but it’s also an opportunity, so my suggestion is for you to abandon the Nine-star Geng Gold Sword Formation and Demon-Subduing Pestle, and strive to merge into the Chaos Bell altogether. This way, you might have a fifty percent chance of merging successfully. Of course, without the other weapons, if the merger fails, you might perish. Think about it, I won’t insist," Xu Nian said.

Shi Shanshan fell into contemplation.

Xu Nian was right; if she wanted to merge into the Chaos Bell, she’d likely have to abandon the other weapons.

As such, if the merger failed, she might truly perish.

But if she succeeded, she’d gain unparalleled combat strength and become difficult to kill.

Xu Nian looked at Shi Shanshan without urging.

If Shi Shanshan merged into the Chaos Bell, it would also greatly aid him.

But it certainly was dangerous.

"Alright, I’ll do it," Shi Shanshan suddenly said determinedly.

Luo Bing and Xuanyuan Qingling on the side were also surprised.

Shi Shanshan was actually willing to merge into the Chaos Bell.
