Divine King of Honour
Chapter 887 - 887: Mysterious Palace

Xu Nian had his main body leave the Constant Star, as the Defensive Spirit Array of his main body could only last for two hours.

If he stayed here, it would mean that both he and his avatar wouldn't be able to leave this place.

Therefore, Xu Nian decided to leave the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar behind.

The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar flew towards the palace at the center of the Star Core.

As he approached, the summoning didn't disappear; instead, it grew even stronger.

When the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar arrived in front of the palace, the sight of it left him somewhat shocked.

The entire palace was built from a type of jet-black stone.

Xu Nian didn't know what kind of stone it was, but he could feel that it was incredibly hard.

He feared that even if he struck with all his might, he might not be able to leave a trace on this stone.

Besides its hardness, Xu Nian could also feel a chilling sensation from the stone, a coldness that came not from touch, but from the depths of his soul.

"What kind of stone is this?" The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar murmured to himself.

"Kid, this is Chaos Stone. I never thought someone would acquire such a large piece, hollow it out, and build a palace with it!" Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

Although Wentian Demon Sovereign wasn't with the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar, Xu Nian's main body and avatar shared a soul connection, so the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar could naturally hear Wentian Demon Sovereign's Soul Transmission.

"Chaos Stone?" Xu Nian murmured to himself, looking at the palace in astonishment.

He had heard of Chaos Stone; it was a very magical stone that was born in the universe.

This stone was incredibly hard; even Immortal Emperors, not to mention Cultivators, couldn't break it open.

This Chaos Stone had another important characteristic: it could form an independent spacetime within itself.

This was different from storage rings and spatial treasures, which could form independent spaces but couldn't control time.

But Chaos Stone was different, as it could form a completely independent spacetime within.

In other words, a whole new world.

Often, a Chaos Stone the size of a thumb could create a world as large as a city.

Now, this entire palace was made of Chaos Stone, making it hard for Xu Nian to imagine how large the world inside might be.

Xu Nian, filled with awe, arrived at the front gate of the palace, where four large characters were inscribed.

These four characters left Xu Nian momentarily stunned.

Chaos Divine Palace!

A name exuding boundless dominance.

"Hmph, to actually call oneself the Chaos Divine Palace, I fear nobody in the Divine World would dare name their palace such!" Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice rang out in Xu Nian's mind.

The tone was filled with deep disdain.

Xu Nian gave a bitter smile, perhaps in the eyes of Wentian Demon Sovereign, the owner of the Chaos Divine Palace was nothing, but to Xu Nian, they were already a supreme existence.

After all, only those who reached Divine Level could open a Chaos Stone.

So Xu Nian could conclude that the owner of this palace must be from the Divine World.

"Might as well go in and take a look!" Xu Nian approached the palace gate, trying to see if he could open it.

Just as his hand touched the gate, it automatically opened.

A primordial aura surged towards Xu Nian.

Inside the palace, everything was obscured, seemingly blocked by a layer of light.

With an uneasy heart, Xu Nian walked into the palace.

He only felt a dizziness before realizing he was standing on a green meadow.

A clear stream flowed through the meadow.

In the center of the meadow, a large tree stood, with a straw hut under it.

At this moment, under the tree, an old man was sitting and drinking tea.

To be precise, it wasn't an old man, but an aged rat with white whiskers.

It wore a white robe and was about the height of an adult human.

The rat was looking at Xu Nian with bright, gem-like eyes, a smile Xu Nian couldn't read on its face.

Xu Nian instantly felt a chill down his spine, as if he had been completely seen through.

"Not bad, a human who actually possesses an Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar. Kid, it seems your fortune isn't shallow!" the rat said, looking at Xu Nian with admiration in its eyes.

"Junior Xu Nian greets Senior!" Xu Nian said awkwardly.

He had long guessed that his secrets would be seen through, but hearing it from the rat still gave him a chilly feeling.

"Senior? I'm not some senior!" the rat laughed upon hearing Xu Nian's words.

"Uh, aren't you the owner of this Divine Hall?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"No, I'm just the steward of this hall. As for the owner, or rather my master, he passed away ten thousand years ago!" the rat replied truthfully.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

So this rat was merely the Chaos Divine Venerable's steward. He had thought the Chaos Divine Palace's owner was a rat.

"What's the matter, kid? Do you look down on me?" The rat's sharp eyes fixed on Xu Nian, still wearing that unreadable smile.

"I dare not! I dare not!" Xu Nian quickly explained with a cold sweat.

This rat was the steward of the palace; even if he was foolish, he knew he couldn't possibly be their match.

"Kid, you don't have to be afraid. I don't have the power to harm you now; you didn't notice I'm merely a soul?" the Rat Butler smiled.

Xu Nian froze, realizing that the rat indeed lacked any aura, and was instead very weak in soul form.

"In fact, ten thousand years ago, when my master died, I also perished. But to fulfill my master's last command, I had to forcibly extract my soul and merge it with this Chaos Divine Palace! So now, I have no offensive capabilities and can never leave this hall for the rest of my life!" the Rat Butler explained with a smile.

Yet there was sadness in its smile.

Xu Nian was deeply shocked; he could imagine the loneliness of the rat spending ten thousand years in this deserted hall.

If it were him, he would have already gone mad.

After all, ten thousand years seemed an eternity to him.

"By the way, Senior, you mentioned earlier that you survived to carry out your master's final command. What is that command?" Xu Nian curiously asked.

The Rat Butler smiled upon hearing Xu Nian's question and said, "Master wanted me to find a suitable heir for him, so his path of cultivation wouldn't be annihilated."

"An heir?" Xu Nian was astonished, then recalled the rat's mysterious smile and seemed to understand something.

"You don't mean to say that heir is me, do you?" Xu Nian asked with a wry smile.

The rat smiled slightly, "Indeed it is you. But before that, you have to take a test. Only by passing the test can you become the true heir of my master!"

Xu Nian was speechless; a test again?
