Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian stood, a colossal stone gate floating eerily behind him.

The gate towered into the clouds, stretching a full three thousand li in height.

With the emergence of this stone gate, a deathly aura slowly enveloped Xu Nian.

On either side of the giant gate stood two massive stone statues.

They were anomalies, yet they exuded a lifelike, tangible quality.

"Buzz!"

With the appearance of the stone gate,

An ashen power surged forth from the sword in Xu Nian's hand.

This power, upon its emergence, filled the entire hall with a thick, deathly presence.

"Shatter for me!"

Xu Nian bellowed, his sword slashing directly at the incoming purple sword light.

"Boom!"

The purple sword light collided with Xu Nian's blade,

Producing a thunderous sound that shook the heavens.

The once-mighty blade

Vanished into thin air under Xu Nian's sword.

"What kind of power is this?" The crowd around suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

They knew this ashen power

Must have been bestowed upon Xu Nian by the great stone gate anomaly.

The strength of this power was truly terrifying; just its aura alone made one feel deeply uncomfortable and anxious.

"Could this be the legendary Hell Gate?"

Leng Cangfeng suddenly cried out in alarm.

Hell Gate?

Everyone showed a look of shock.

They had only heard of the Hell Gate in legends—

At the world's end stood a huge stone gate,

And passing through it led directly to hell.

They had always thought it was just a myth.

Could it be that Xu Nian's third Talent Phenomenon was the legendary Hell Gate?

Does the Hell Gate truly exist?

And how could Xu Nian possess such a unique Talent Phenomenon?

Was he an emissary of hell?

Xia Zhenglei's face darkened immensely.

Xu Nian had actually blocked his purple sword light?

And that ashen power had even caused him a flicker of trepidation.

He could not fathom how Xu Nian possessed such formidable strength.

A smile spread across Xu Nian's face.

As soon as his Spiritual Cultivation had broken through to the Battle King Level, he had discovered an additional Talent Phenomenon in his Dan Sea.

He had simply chosen not to use it until now.

He knew it would be his ace in the hole.

As for this Door of Death, he was clueless as to why such a Talent Phenomenon had manifested.

But Emperor Ye Tian had told him,

All Talent Phenomena are realities that exist in this world.

The fact that such an anomaly had manifested in a person

Suggested that Xu Nian's essence had connected with that true existence.

In other words, whether it was the Ancient Dragon Giant Sword within him

Or this Hell Gate, they were realities of this world.

They might reside at the world's ends or scattered throughout the cosmos.

It was their projections that bestowed Xu Nian with immense power.

"Seventh Prince, it appears your Immortal Sword Power isn't very effective against me!" Xu Nian said with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhenglei's face flushed with intense anger and frustration.

He, a prince, was being mocked by a youth younger than himself—this was the ultimate humiliation.

"I refuse to believe you can withstand my next strike," Xia Zhenglei roared with rage.

His Immortal Sword burst forth with endless purple light.

The purple light beamed, exuding the might of the Immortal Sword.

"Purple Dragon Shines upon the World!"

Xia Zhenglei thundered, his sword slashing downward.

A massive purple dragon roared forth, charging viciously towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian, facing the approaching colossal purple dragon,

Showed not a hint of fear but instead stepped firmly onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The floor instantly shattered.

Xu Nian, hovering in midair, swung his sword, and ashen power surged.

"Buzz!"

The Purple Dragon was actually bisected by a single strike of Xu Nian's sword.

"What?"

Xia Zhenglei was instantly shocked.

His Immortal Sword's Purple Dragon Sword Qi had actually been broken directly by Xu Nian?

The surrounding crowd also exhibited looks of surprise.

They had not expected Xu Nian to be able to easily break through such formidable Sword Qi.

"Now it's your turn to take my sword!"

Xu Nian shouted loudly.

His sword slashed down through the air.

Hacking fiercely towards Xia Zhenglei.

Xia Zhenglei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he immediately brought his sword up to block.

"Clang!"

However, when Xu Nian's sword smashed down with great force onto his Purple Dragon Immortal Sword,

his entire body violently sunk, and he actually dropped to one knee on the ground.

His knee crashed into the floor, instantly shattering it.

Xia Zhenglei's face was filled with shock.

Clearly, the power of Xu Nian's sword was far beyond his expectations.

The distant crowd was also taken aback.

Was Xu Nian actually overpowering this Seventh Prince?

It was well known that Xia Zhenglei, as an Imperial Prince, practiced the topmost Cultivation Techniques and Combat Skills.

Yet now, he was being dominated by Xu Nian in a fight?

Moreover, this was with Xu Nian lagging four whole realms behind the Seventh Prince.

If the two were of equal rank,

Wouldn't that mean the Seventh Prince would only be fit to be instantly killed?

A wave of intense anger and unwillingness surged across the Seventh Prince's face.

To be made to kneel on the ground by someone was absolutely the greatest humiliation of his life.

"Enough!"

Xia Zhenglei truly erupted in rage.

With a loud shout, a terrifying power emanated from his body.

Xu Nian was taken aback, feeling a dreadful force transmitting through the Black God Sword in his hand.

He immediately stepped back explosively, retreating backward.

Yet, at this moment, Xia Zhenglei was already furious, as a thick purple Gang Qi burst forth from his body.

Like an awakened dragon, he fixed his eyes on Xu Nian.

"I want you dead!"

Xia Zhenglei squeezed out a few words between his teeth.

Then his figure turned into a purple afterimage speeding towards Xu Nian.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xu Nian.

His Purple Dragon sword slashed down at Xu Nian immediately.

Without using even a sliver of Gang Skill, the unleashed power was terrifyingly immense.

"A Nine-star Body King?"

Xu Nian was startled; he had long guessed that Xia Zhenglei was a practitioner of Spirit Body Dual Cultivation.

But he had not expected the Seventh Prince's Body Cultivation to be so high.

"Clang!"

Xu Nian immediately raised his sword to defend.

However, at the instant the two blades collided,

Xu Nian felt an incredibly dreadful power transmitted from the Black God.

Then the Talent Phenomenon behind him shattered apart.

And he himself was violently blasted away by this force.

"Boom!"

His body struck the wall.

Producing a thunderous noise like a clap of doom.

"Spurt!"

Xu Nian spat out a trace of fresh blood, his face showing a hint of pain.

The surrounding crowd's eyes instantly widened.

Xu Xin also clenched her fists tight, her eyes filled with deep concern.

But she did not move to intervene.

She knew that intervening now would only cause trouble for Xu Nian.

Xia Zhenglei held the Immortal Sword Dragon.

His body surged with purple Gang Qi, as if wrapped by a Purple Dragon.

Purple Dragon Technique!

The Body Technique practiced by Emperor Tianhen.

And it was the most powerful method of Body Cultivation on the continent.

Xu Nian climbed out of the pit, eyeing the imperial figure of Xia Zhenglei surrounded by circling Purple Dragons.

Then he glanced at the Black God Sword in his hand, now with a huge gash in it.

His gaze also became particularly solemn.
