Divine King of Honour
Chapter 840 - 840: Escape to Heaven

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion echoed.

Xuan Hong's figure plummeted directly from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Elder Xuan Hong!" Xu Nian quickly put away his black-robed clone and rushed toward where Xuan Hong had fallen.

"Cough, cough, still... not dead. They used a combined attack technique; my defense couldn't hold up," Xuan Hong coughed up a mouthful of blood and said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian helped Xuan Hong stand up.

In an instant, three elders pressed down from the sky, hovering above Xu Nian and Xuan Hong, blocking all their escape routes.

"Xu Nian, will you slay yourself to atone, or should we do it?" the leading elder's deep voice rang out.

A surge of intense anger filled Xu Nian's eyes.

But he was now entirely out of strength.

The previous secret technique had severely injured his body, and it was already very difficult for him to maintain normal actions.

Moreover, even if he were in peak condition, he might not be a match for the three Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon elders before him.

"I only retaliated after you Tianxing Sect provoked me first. If the three of you retreat now, I will write off my grievances with Tianxing Sect and will not trouble you again. But if you continue to press me, if I, Xu Nian, survive today, I will ensure Tianxing Sect is left with no survivors," Xu Nian said, staring hard at the three elders in the sky.

"Then you must not live! Attack!"

The leading elder immediately ordered, without a hint of negotiation.

Xu Nian's eyes surged with intense rage upon hearing this.

"Xu Nian, I have a Transmission Spirit Talisman. I'll burn my life essence to break this formation and hold them off. When the time comes, crush the talisman, and you can leave this planet. They won't be able to catch you," Xuan Hong said.

As he finished, he shoved a Spirit Talisman into Xu Nian's hand.

"But..." Xu Nian was taken aback, about to say something.

But he saw Xuan Hong had already charged forward again.

As Xuan Hong surged forward, a wave of scorching flames erupted from his body.

A wildly domineering aura radiated from him.

"Boom!"

Xuan Hong's punch forced the three attacking elders to retreat.

Burning his life essence brought Xuan Hong's strength infinitely close to that of a Tribulation Crossing expert.

Seeing this, Xu Nian's eyes instantly reddened.

First Xuanyuan Qingling, now Xuan Hong.

"Boom!"

After forcing the three back, Xuan Hong hurriedly launched another punch.

This punch landed directly on the enclosing formation around them.

"Crack!"

The formation shattered instantly.

This Qiankun Locking Sky Array could only trap cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Now that Xuan Hong's strength was nearing the Tribulation Crossing level, he could naturally break the formation.

"Now, crush the talisman!"

After completing all this, Xuan Hong shouted at Xu Nian.

Then the flames on his body surged again as he attacked the three elders once more.

With the formation broken, the outside spectators could see inside once more.

Seeing Xuan Hong burning his life essence to battle the three Tianxing Sect elders, everyone showed expressions of extreme shock.

With red eyes, Xu Nian finally gritted his teeth and crushed the talisman in his hand.

He couldn't let Xuan Hong's efforts go to waste.

If he didn't crush the talisman, neither he nor Xuan Hong could survive.

"Buzz!"

As the talisman was crushed.

A golden light shot skyward.

Soon, Xu Nian's figure began to fade.

"No, we can't let him escape!"

The three elders were alarmed and hurriedly tried to interrupt Xu Nian's teleportation array.

However, Xuan Hong's eyes were red; his demon essence surged like waves, blocking them again.

After doing all this, blood started flowing from his seven orifices.

Looking in Xu Nian's direction, he gave a tragic smile.

At this moment, Xu Nian couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

His fists clenched, his whole arm trembling.

Ignoring the intense pain from his previous injuries, he roared with all his might, "Tianxing Sect, wait for me, Xu Nian, to return, and I'll make you pay in blood for blood!"

"Boom!"

Just as the roar ended, the golden light shot skyward once more.

Then Xu Nian's figure disappeared into the sky with the golden light.

And Xu Nian's angry roar echoed in the air for a long time before fading.

Everyone around was extremely astonished.

At this moment, they noticed two bodies lying on the ground.

After careful identification.

They all gasped in shock.

Yuwen Gong and Nangong Lie?

These were two of Tianxing Sect's geniuses!

What on earth did Xu Nian do?

How could he draw such pursuit from Tianxing Sect and still manage to kill two geniuses during the chase?

The three elders looked in the direction Xu Nian had fled, their brows furrowed deeply.

Then they saw the already severely weakened Xuan Hong.

They immediately shouted, "Kill him for me!"

"Brother, don't! We must keep this Xuan Turtle alive. If we bring him back and spread the news, Xu Nian will surely come to rescue him. Then we can kill him. If we kill this Xuan Turtle now, Xu Nian will surely hide, and if he grows and comes for revenge, it will be a big problem for our Tianxing Sect!" the Second Elder quickly advised, his narrow eyes gleaming with trickery and cunning.

The Great Elder pondered this for a long time upon hearing it.

After a while, he indeed ordered, "Fine, take him away, and then send disciples to spread the news. As long as Xu Nian returns to Tianlan Star, he will surely come to save him."

Both the Second and Third Elders nodded.

Then the three restrained the gravely injured Xuan Hong and left the area.

"Xiyao, let's go too. Xu Nian has already left," Huang Shishan said to Meng Xiyao.

At this moment, Meng Xiyao's eyes showed a mix of anger and worry.

"Tianxing Sect, hmph, you just wait and see. How dare you hurt my Brother Nian? I'll let my father know when I go back, but we'll leave you a way out, leaving you to Brother Nian!" Meng Xiyao snorted coldly.

Then she swept her sleeves and left.

She was truly angry.

The Tianxing Sect had dared to severely injure Xu Nian right in front of her, almost killing him.

This clearly showed no regard for her, the princess of Chaos Sky Sect.

Of course, at this moment, Meng Xiyao was also anxious to know where Xu Nian had gone.

Huang Shishan followed behind Meng Xiyao, feeling a burst of anger.

To think Xu Nian was still alive; he was really lucky.

The surrounding crowd, seeing this, also dispersed.

The Ascending Immortal Platform was gone. Why should they stay?

In just a moment, the Top of Yunqiong was empty.

Shortly after everyone had left.

The ground cracked open, and a bony hand emerged.

Then an entire skeleton climbed out.

The skeleton looked at the Heavenly Dome and then in the direction the Tianxing Sect members had left, its eyes full of coldness.

Yes, it was the Netherworld King.

It had witnessed everything that happened just now.

Xu Nian's severe injuries also incited a wave of anger within it.

"Die!"

From the mouth of the Netherworld King came a single word.

It then turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot.
