Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian looked at Chu Xiong in surprise.

This stele remains intact, leaving only a mark even with full force.

Yet, Chu Xiong managed to split it in half with a single axe strike.

This shows just how strong he is.

Feng Cheng exaggerated even more, his eyes widened and mouth agape, his jaw practically hitting the floor.

"What do you think? It's just a small stele, it couldn't stump me," Chu Xiong said proudly.

Xu Nian smiled as well, looking at the token embedded in the stele, his heart full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu!" Xu Nian said.

"It's really nothing worth mentioning. Senior Brother Lu and I just happened to be free and wanted to check out the newcomers in our army. It's been a long time since the Blue Gold Army had new recruits, and you're the first to join us at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, so naturally, we had to come and see," Chu Xiong said with a smile.

"Indeed, your Senior Brother Chu and I even made a bet on whether you were over a hundred years old. In the end, I lost, as you're not even thirty yet. It's truly unimaginable how you cultivated," Lu Feng said with a laugh.

At these words, Xu Nian gave an embarrassed smile.

He was not even thirty yet since he began cultivation.

Others could tell his true age through bone age, and Chu Xiong and Lu Feng naturally could as well.

"Is the Profound Argumentation you've comprehended related to the Gold Attribute? To what level of domain have you achieved?" Xu Nian asked.

"Indeed, it's the Gold Attribute Mixed Element Piercing Profound Argumentation. As for my domain, it's roughly at the Fourth-level Peak. Plus, the axe I wield is an Immortal Artifact, so breaking that stele wasn't difficult," Chu Xiong explained with a smile.

Xu Nian was surprised in his heart; Chu Xiong had actually comprehended the Domain Profound Argumentation to the Fourth-level Peak, which meant Chu Xiong's power far surpassed his own.

As a Late Stage Earth Immortal, and also a Fourth-level Peak Domain powerhouse.

If he were to make a move against Xu Nian, Xu Nian probably wouldn't have the slightest strength to resist.

"Brother Xu, no need to be surprised. You are merely in your twenties and have achieved such accomplishments. When you reach our age, your future achievements will certainly be far beyond ours. Haha, our Blue Gold Army is the most elite force of the Denor Empire, our members are all tempered through blood, something those sect disciples cannot compare to," Chu Xiong laughed heartily.

While speaking, he also glanced at Feng Cheng beside him.

Feng Cheng was momentarily embarrassed, but there was no anger in his eyes, instead, there was a bit of eagerness.

"Xu Nian, are you from the Denor Empire?" Feng Cheng asked, looking at Xu Nian.

"Yes, I've joined the Blue Gold Army of the Denor Empire," Xu Nian nodded and said.

Feng Cheng was surprised, not expecting Xu Nian to possess such a status.

It should be known that the members of the Blue Gold Army of the Denor Empire held positions no less prestigious than the disciples of the Four Great Sects.

Murong Xue was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Xu Nian to have joined the Blue Gold Army.

The Four Great Sects were reluctant to provoke the Denor Empire because the Denor Empire had a powerful Earth Immortal Level army, which was the Denor Army.

Regarding the strength of the Blue Gold Army, one can understand just by looking at Chu Xiong and Lu Feng.

"Alright, here's the token for Fuyao Lake for you." Chu Xiong took the token from the crevice in the rock and tossed it to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian caught the token and found it entirely different from the one he had obtained before.

This token was just a smooth stone, but it emitted a faint and gentle glow, and felt warm when held in hand.

Xu Nian handed the token to Murong Xue, and Murong Xue did not refuse it, expressed a word of gratitude to Xu Nian, and then kept the token.

Seeing Murong Xue accept it, a smile appeared on Xu Nian's face.

"Boom!"

However, at this moment, the ground suddenly quaked violently.

Then, the whole ground started to shake intensely.

"What's going on?" Xu Nian looked around, surprised.

Feng Cheng and Murong Xue were also perplexed, obviously unaware of what was happening.

Beside them, Chu Xiong and Lu Feng's expressions changed drastically, exclaiming in shock, "Who has disturbed that creature, daring to venture into the forbidden area of Shendang Mountain?"

"Shendang Mountain?" Murong Xue and Feng Cheng's faces also showed surprise upon hearing this.

Xu Nian was bewildered.

Seeing Xu Nian's confusion, Chu Xiong explained, "Shendang Mountain is the most mysterious and powerful force among the Nine Great Forces in the Immortal Realm, and its trials are extremely challenging. Neither Senior Brother Lu nor I have any certainty of obtaining this token."

"Even you, Senior Brothers, have no confidence?" Xu Nian looked surprised.

He had already witnessed Chu Xiong's strength just now, certainly at the pinnacle of the Four Great Sects.

Yet, even with such strength, it's still impossible to pass through Shendang Mountain, which shows how strong this force is.

"Is the test at Shendang Mountain really that difficult? What does that have to do with the recent tremors?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Of course, there's a connection. The guardian beast of Shendang Mountain's forbidden area is a terrifying True Dragon, a genuine bloodline of the Taigu Dragon Clan," Lu Feng said.

"A True Dragon? How can that be? A True Dragon is said to be born with the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. How could it appear in the Mortal World?" Xu Nian asked in disbelief.

A True Dragon belonged to an extremely noble bloodline, and their offspring were born in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Some Dragon Clan with strong bloodlines would possess Immortal Emperor-level strength upon reaching maturity.

This is why the Dragon Clan is renowned as the most powerful of the Demon Clan.

"It is a True Dragon indeed, but its cultivation seems to be sealed; now it only has the strength of a Middle Stage Earth Immortal. However, even so, a Middle Stage Earth Immortal True Dragon is not something we can contend with. With a fully formed Immortal Body, Dragon Clan bloodline, plus the Dragon Clan's unique Talent Divine Abilities, even a Peak of Late Stage Earth Immortal wouldn't dare to provoke it lightly. Only an Earth Immortal Peak powerhouse with a Fourth-level Domain or higher could stand a chance," Chu Xiong explained.

Xu Nian also showed a look of amazement, not expecting the forbidden area of Shendang Mountain to be suppressing a True Dragon.

This caused the blood in Xu Nian's body to boil with excitement.

The True Dragon Bloodline is the essence of the Dragon Clan's heritage.

If he were to obtain this bloodline, his Nine Dragons Supreme Body would take a significant leap forward.

This would further assure his Tribulation Crossing.

"I wonder which of the Nine Great Dragon Clans this True Dragon belongs to?" Xu Nian asked again.

"It is a Xuantian Thunder Dragon," Chu Xiong said.

"Xuantian Thunder Dragon?" Xu Nian's eyes widened instantly, showing an eager expression.

That was the third-ranked Dragon Clan bloodline among the Nine Great Dragon Clans.

Moreover, it is a True Dragon. If Xu Nian could obtain the Xuantian Thunder Dragon Bloodline, his Nine Dragons Supreme Body would definitely ascend another level.

But killing a Xuantian Thunder Dragon was easier said than done.

Yet, Xu Nian was not one to easily forego such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Senior Brothers, I would like to go and take a look near Shendang Mountain," Xu Nian said to Chu Xiong and Lu Feng.

Chu Xiong and Lu Feng had no objections, naturally.

Feng Cheng and Murong Xue had no objections either.

So all four of them started moving towards Shendang Mountain.
