Divine King of Honour
Chapter 889 - 889: Guihai Tianlong

The terrifying fiery energy continually transformed into fire dragons as they surged into the mouth of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

And as the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar devoured, the brightness of the constant star also began to dim in an extremely subtle manner.

The cultivation of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar also started to gradually improve, moving towards a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Cave Void Realm.

Although the Undying Devouring Sky Beast had a terrifying devouring ability, the energy required for its own breakthrough was also incredibly vast.

Thus, the breakthrough of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar was seemingly slow.

...

Just as Xu Nian was striving to achieve a breakthrough,

his original body had already exited the range of this constant star.

And as soon as he left the constant star, the defensive array on his body also dissipated.

"Luckily, I finally got out," Xu Nian thought with relief.

Although his avatar was now devouring the energy of this constant star,

the temperature of this constant star was still unbearable for him.

Without the protection of the defensive array, facing this constant star would only lead to his death.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian darted towards Mei Ji's spaceship.

Before long, he arrived in front of the spaceship.

"How is it? Did you get it?" Mei Ji asked excitedly upon seeing Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled faintly and tossed the Ice Flame Heart in his hand over to her.

Seeing the Ice Flame Heart, Mei Ji's eyes lit up instantly.

"Great, this is the real Ice Flame Heart. With it, I can cure the poison of the seductive bones in my body," Mei Ji said excitedly.

Xu Nian, seeing Mei Ji so thrilled, also smiled.

This time, his gains were no less than Mei Ji's.

If it weren't for Mei Ji bringing him here, he probably wouldn't have discovered the Chaos Divine Palace of the Green Emperor.

His Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar wouldn't have such a massive energy to devour either.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Xu Nian! I will definitely help you with what I promised," Mei Ji said gratefully to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian nodded.

With Mei Ji's assistance in the matter of the Spirit King Pill, it would surely be much quicker.

"Buzz!"

However, just as Xu Nian and Mei Ji were about to board the spaceship to return,

a stream of light swiftly approached from the distant void.

Xu Nian and Mei Ji simultaneously frowned.

They had already discerned that it was a spaceship.

And it seemed to be of significant size, moving even faster than Mei Ji's spaceship.

It was heading straight towards them.

"This is bad, it's the spaceship of the Guihai family, they must have come for revenge knowing you're here," Mei Ji's face dramatically changed upon seeing the emblem on the spaceship.

Xu Nian's brows also furrowed deeply.

He hadn't expected the Guihai family to arrive so quickly.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Nian sensed something amiss,

the starship halted not far in front of them.

Two people emerged from the spaceship.

One was a middle-aged man, the other an elderly man with white hair.

Xu Nian and Mei Ji both recognized the elder, it was Yann Hui, who had been forced to retreat by Mei Ji.

However, what truly brought boundless pressure to Xu Nian and Mei Ji was not Yann Hui, but the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

This man was burly and had a heroic appearance.

The most critical part was, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing.

Although it was just one level above Yann Hui, the aura it exuded was enough to make Xu Nian and Mei Ji feel immense pressure.

"I didn't expect him to come as well. Xu Nian, it looks like you're in real trouble this time. He is Guihai Tiangong of the Guihai family, the cousin of Guihai Tianxing, with extremely formidable strength," Mei Ji said to Xu Nian through sound transmission.

Xu Nian remained silent but his brows furrowed intensely.

The strength of Guihai Tiangong had already surpassed Yann Hui; even if Mei Ji wanted to protect him, it would be difficult.

"Master Tianlong, that young man is Xu Nian, he was the one who killed Mr. Tianxing," Yann Hui stated.

Although Guihai Tiangong was a hundred years older than Guihai Tianxing, his status as Tianxing's cousin gave him a high position within the Guihai family due to his immense strength.

Hearing Yann Hui's words, Guihai Tiangong turned his gaze to Xu Nian.

When he saw that Xu Nian's cultivation was only at the peak of the Cave Void Realm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he did not underestimate Xu Nian; he wasn't like his younger brother who was a conceited playboy.

He knew that in the cultivation world, some people's true strength couldn't be gauged just by their surface-level cultivation.

This guy could kill his brother in front of Yann Hui, he should not be taken lightly.

However, he did not engage Xu Nian directly but instead turned his gaze to Mei Ji standing beside Xu Nian.

"Fairy Mei Ji, long time no see. What a coincidence to meet you here, it seems that fate has brought us together," Guihai Tiangong said with a deep, resonant voice and smiled at Mei Ji.

"Mr. Tianlong is also indeed gallant. It's my honor to meet you, but I wonder what brings Mr. Tianlong here?" Mei Ji responded calmly.

Guihai Tiangong laughed and pointed at Xu Nian. "Fairy Mei Ji should know why. This man killed my cousin Guihai Tianxing. Today, I must take his head back. I hope Fairy Mei Ji will not interfere."

"No way, Mr. Tianlong, Xu Nian is already an Artifact Refiner of Tianbao Pavilion. If you wish to kill him, Tianbao Pavilion will never agree," Mei Ji firmly stated.

Upon saying that, she intentionally stepped forward to shield Xu Nian.

Xu Nian felt deeply moved at that moment.

Even though he no longer had any use for Mei Ji,

Mei Ji could have just abandoned him right then and there.

But instead, she chose to stand up and protect him proactively, making Xu Nian feel that he wasn't helping the wrong person.

"So, there's no room for negotiation. In that case, I must offend you. Yann Hui, attack!" Guihai Tiangong didn't waste any more words and directly commanded Yann Hui to take action.

"Yes!"

Yann Hui immediately responded.

Then he charged towards Xu Nian.

Mei Ji's face changed; she hadn't expected Guihai Tiangong to completely disregard her threat.

With no choice, she engaged Yann Hui.

Yann Hui's goal was clear: to stall Mei Ji.

Since Mei Ji was favored by the Mu Residence Lord, no one from their side would harm her.

However, by holding her off, Guihai Tiangong could easily kill Xu Nian.

Xu Nian understood everything. He looked at Guihai Tiangong ahead with a cautious look in his eyes.

"Boy, do you think with Tianbao Pavilion backing you, my Guihai family wouldn't dare touch you? To kill you, Tianbao Pavilion won't make an enemy of the Guihai family for a dead man. Now, are you ready to die?" Guihai Tiangong sneered at Xu Nian, and his overwhelming aura locked onto Xu Nian.

Xu Nian didn't respond to Guihai Tiangong's words; instead, his mind was racing.

He was considering how to deal with Guihai Tiangong in front of him.

And the final conclusion was clear: escape!

Without hesitation, Xu Nian summoned the Divine Travel Boat and prepared to flee aboard it.

"Escape? Dream on!" When Guihai Tiangong saw Xu Nian attempting to escape, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

He instantly drew a battle saber and, without hesitation, unleashed a powerful strike.

"Boom!"

Before Xu Nian could activate the Divine Travel Boat, the terrifying sword light struck the boat heavily.

The Divine Travel Boat suffered a devastating impact,

like a meteorite crashing onto an uninhabited distant planet,

creating a massive crater on the planet's surface.
