Divine King of Honour

"Roar!"

The roar shook all directions.

The giant ape and the long white snake fought each other fiercely.

The white snake coiled around the giant ape, its sharp teeth biting into the ape's fur.

In pain and fury, the giant ape howled, swinging its massive fist and smashing it hard against the white snake's scale armor.

With a punch, the scale armor shattered, blood splattered.

Yet the white snake still clung on tight, not letting go.

Its sharp teeth remained firmly embedded in the giant ape, injecting venom deep into the ape's body.

Both the giant ape and the white snake were Nine-star Peak War King level Demon Beasts.

Their way of fighting, was leading to mutual destruction.

Xu Nian and the others, witnessing this, were all shocked.

Looking at the young man, who still leaned casually against the wall, unconcerned with the fate of the giant ape.

Xu Nian's brow furrowed unconsciously.

Clearly, the young man intended to abandon the giant ape to achieve his own ends.

Yet, he couldn't understand why the young man would do this.

What was in the white snake that was worth him sacrificing a giant ape Spiritual Pet to obtain?

"Roar!"

Eventually, the white snake's poison began to take effect.

The giant ape started to falter.

With a fierce roar, the giant ape grabbed the white snake's neck and bit down hard.

A thunderous explosion.

The giant ape fell to the ground.

It had bitten through the white snake's neck.

Though the white snake was not dead, it was at death's door.

Upon seeing this, the young man finally drew a sharp sword.

Immediately, he swung the sword, decapitating the white snake completely.

After a few struggles, the white snake also lay breathless.

The young man then cut open the white snake's chest and retrieved a translucent white pearl from its belly.

"This is... a Snake Pill?" Xu Nian was stunned and surprise flashed in his eyes.

The so-called Snake Pill was a rarity produced by few snake Demon Beasts.

This Snake Pill could not only detoxify all poisons but could also greatly enhance one's strength.

It was definitely comparable to an Immortal Pill of Ninth Grade from the Battle Mansion.

Xu Nian had never expected that the white snake would contain a Snake Pill inside it.

No wonder the young man was willing to give up a Nine-star Battle King level giant ape to kill this white snake.

It was for the Snake Pill within it.

Xu Nian's eyes brightened.

This Snake Pill could completely cure Chen Tiansheng of the Emperor Scorpion Poison inside him.

It could even be more effective than the Snake Gallbladder of a viper.

"Come out! Since you're here, why not show yourself?"

At this moment, the young man in the hall suddenly turned his head, glanced in the direction of the cave entrance where Xu Nian was, and spoke with a light chuckle.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

Their location was behind the young man.

He hadn't expected the young man to have discovered them.

It seemed that the young man had known they were there since the moment they arrived.

So, he no longer hid but vaulted into the great hall.

Yann Hong and the others followed Xu Nian into the hall.

Their eyes were also full of caution when they looked at the young man.

Obviously, they too had realized this young man was no ordinary individual.

"We meet again! I never expected you to be the Artifact Refining Sect Master, quite a surprise indeed."

The young man's lips curved into a smile upon seeing Xu Nian.

Xu Nian also offered a slight smile.

```

This youth had previously controlled a giant ape to attack him.

He had nearly killed him—the sole reason being to test the strength of the Spiritual Pet he had just tamed.

Now, in order to kill a white snake, he easily discards the Spiritual Pet he had tamed.

It is clear that he is a person who would not hesitate to sacrifice anything in order to achieve his goals.

"I've long heard how powerful the Beast Taming Sect is. Seeing it today, they really are extraordinary. Just one young man that came out is already this powerful," Xu Nian replied with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, the arc of the youth's mouth became even more pronounced.

"I have long heard that the Artifact Refining Sect Master possessed a Treasure of the Sect, the Heavenly Gang Pearl. I wonder if the Sect Master would be willing to lend it to me for a couple of days to play with? After I've had my fill, I'll return it to your esteemed Sect. How about that?" the youth said with a smile.

"Hmph, how can the treasure of my Artifact Refining Sect be lent out so casually? Hasn't your Beast Taming Sect long since stopped concerning itself with worldly affairs? Why have you come out again now?" An Elder of the Artifact Refining Sect immediately responded with an angry huff.

However, a sneer of mockery flashed across the youth's eyes as he disdainfully said, "I'm talking to your Sect Master. Since when was it your turn to interrupt?"

"You..." The Elder was enraged.

He was about to take action.

But was stopped by Xu Nian.

It was clear that the strength of this youth was far from simple.

Xu Nian could sense that this youth had already activated his Spiritual Sense.

That is to say, he knew the strength of the Fourth Elder.

Since he knew the strength of the Fourth Elder and was still this fearless,

It meant that he wasn't afraid of them at all.

Back in the Misty Forest,

Xu Nian had already tried to probe the youth's Cultivation.

But in the end, he failed.

So Xu Nian wasn't sure he could really handle the youth.

Of course, judging by the situation, this battle was inevitable.

"So, will you lend the Heavenly Gang Pearl or not?" the youth casually asked with a smile.

"How could I not lend it?" Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"If you won't lend it, then I'll just have to take it myself. I have a habit—anything I take a liking to, I will do everything in my power to obtain it. Whoever dares to stop me, there's only one outcome for them—and that's death," the youth said with a playful laugh.

His gaze was proud, bearing an air of disdain for the world.

Upon hearing this, rage surged through Xu Nian.

The youth in front of him was simply too arrogant, not once considering him, the Artifact Refining Sect Master, worthy of attention.

He had intended to negotiate some conditions with this youth, to exchange for a Snake Pill.

Now it seemed completely impossible.

"Sorry, but I have a habit, too. Whenever I see someone arrogant, I like to step on their face a few times, no matter who they are," Xu Nian responded coldly.

The youth's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

"A mere Artifact Refining Sect, daring to claim itself as the number one Sect in the land—today I will let you witness the might of our Beast Taming Sect." The youth finally burst with anger.

With a wave of his sleeve,

Three giant beasts appeared before everyone's eyes.

They were: a Nine-star War King Level Red Scorching Tiger Lion,

a Seven-star Battle King Level Fierce Earth-splitting Tiger,

and a Five-star Battle King Level Fierce Earth Dragon.

"Roar!"

The three beasts roared as soon as they appeared,

The roar reverberated throughout the great hall, spreading rapidly along the corridors to the surroundings.

Xu Nian and the others were startled.

Although they had expected this youth to have powerful Demon Beasts at his side,

They had not expected him to summon three giant beasts all at once, and all of them Battle King Level Demon Beasts.

"Ha-ha, scared now? This is just an appetizer, just getting started to play with you," the youth laughed heartily.

The faces of the Artifact Refining Sect Elders and the others all changed.

Summoning three Demon Beasts at once?

And this was just an appetizer.

Xu Nian's gaze also sharpened—he was indeed stronger than expected.

But to think that would make him afraid was underestimating him too much.

"Black Wind, come out!" Xu Nian commanded.

Upon finishing his words, a Black Dog appeared in everyone's sight.
