Divine King of Honour

Soon, Xu Nian was led to a very hidden cave.

The entrance of the cave was covered with dense vines, making it almost impossible to notice without close inspection.

Upon entering the cave, it was very dark and damp inside, and the space was not very big, only the size of a single room.

Besides a huge boulder placed in the middle, there was nothing else in the cave.

However, Xu Nian's face changed, as his Spiritual Sense had already felt the fluctuations within the stone.

It was powerful, so powerful that it made him feel a strong sense of threat.

Through his Spiritual Sense, Xu Nian discovered that there was a giant bow buried within the boulder.

"Bow?" Xu Nian looked at Wang Long in surprise.

Wang Long was also surprised. He hadn't even spoken yet, and Xu Nian already knew what was hidden in the stone.

"That's right, it is indeed a giant bow named 'Netherworld King.' It is an extremely lethal Divine Artifact that our ancestors accidentally discovered," Wang Long said solemnly.

"Divine Artifact?" Xu Nian was astonished.

In fact, the so-called divine artifact Wang Long referred to was not a true Divine Artifact but a weapon forged from the legendary Divine Iron.

Such weapons had exceeded the category of ordinary weapons and possessed powerful energy on their own.

However, this Divine Artifact was different from his Divine Artifact, the Gravity Ring.

The Gravity Ring was a true Divine Artifact, whereas the bow before him was merely a pseudo-Divine Artifact.

In the Tianhen Continent, it was customary to call any weapon that exceeded the category of ordinary weapons a Divine Artifact, but this was technically incorrect.

According to Xu Nian's understanding, there were many levels above ordinary weapons.

For instance, weapons forged from Divine Iron were called Spiritual Artifacts.

So, the bow before him was not a real Divine Artifact but a Spiritual Artifact.

Of course, Spiritual Artifact level weapons were also priceless treasures in the Tianhen Continent.

After all, a weapon made from an exotic metal could fetch an astronomical price, let alone a Spiritual Artifact forged from Divine Iron.

"This Netherworld King Bow has been in Mushi Village for hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation. However, no one in Mushi Village has been able to wield this bow. If you, sir, can gain the approval of the Netherworld King Bow, feel free to take it," Wang Long said.

Xu Nian nodded, a glint flashing in his eyes.

He had been worried about how to deal with the Red Blood Purple Winged Eagle. With the Netherworld King Bow, things would be much easier.

"Let me try." Xu Nian walked up to the boulder and punched it.

The boulder instantly cracked open, revealing a giant bow.

The bow was completely black, emitting a dark luster, with strange patterns engraved on its surface, giving it a chillingly authoritative aura akin to the Netherworld King himself.

"Great bow!" Xu Nian couldn't help but exclaim.

Just the aura it emitted was so formidable; the arrows it shot must be even more powerful.

Xu Nian couldn't resist reaching out for the Netherworld King Bow, and the moment he touched it, a bone-chilling cold enveloped his entire body.

"The cold is strong, truly worthy of the name Netherworld King, probably inspired by the concept of Nine Nether Hell," Xu Nian praised again.

Wang Long was somewhat surprised. He had tried to touch the Netherworld King Bow before, but before his hand could even make contact, the powerful energy emanating from the bow had flung him away.

But now, Xu Nian was holding the Netherworld King Bow, and it showed no reaction at all.

"Could it really be successful?" Wang Long murmured to himself.

At this moment, all of Xu Nian's attention was focused on the Netherworld King Bow, and he found himself liking the giant bow more and more.

However, when Xu Nian tried to lift the bow, he found it incredibly heavy. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

"This bow weighs nearly sixteen thousand, impossible for ordinary people to move," Wang Long said.

"Sixteen thousand pounds, three times the weight of my Meteorite Iron Hammer?" Xu Nian was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the Netherworld King Bow to be so heavy.

However, sixteen thousand pounds was not a challenge for him.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian exerted force with one hand, the veins in his arm bulging, and he surprisingly pulled the Netherworld King Bow out of the pit with one hand.

Wang Long was amazed, having witnessed Xu Nian's strength before, but still found himself overwhelmed by surprise.

"No way, even if I can lift such a heavy bow, how would I possibly shoot arrows with it?" Xu Nian muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto the Netherworld King Bow.

Indeed, Spiritual Artifacts needed blood recognition.

Sure enough, after the Netherworld King Bow absorbed Xu Nian's blood,

Xu Nian found that he had a new connection with the bow, and the weight in his hand also felt much lighter.

"That's more like it!" Thinking quickly, Xu Nian stored the Netherworld King Bow inside his Dantian.

Spiritual Artifacts could be directly stored within the Dantian and nourished with Spiritual Energy, then summoned directly during fights.

Witnessing Xu Nian's successful blood recognition, Wang Long's face displayed surprise again.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the moment he saw Xu Nian succeed, he was still taken aback.

Hundreds of years this bow had been here, many had tried to claim it through blood recognition, but the Netherworld King Bow had never absorbed blood, hence nobody had succeeded before.

But Xu Nian had succeeded immediately, how could he not be astonished?

"Let's go, let's go out and test this Netherworld King Bow," Xu Nian said excitedly, then walked out of the cave.

Wang Long immediately followed, curious about the power of the Netherworld King Bow.

"Here!" Wang Long handed over the Xuan Iron Arrows he had prepared earlier.

Xu Nian glanced at the Xuan Iron Arrows, but just smiled and shook his head.

With a thought, an Ice Sword fully formed from Xuan Ice appeared in his hand, containing a strong fluctuation, much more powerful than the Xuan Iron Arrows.

Indeed, this was the ability Xu Nian had gained after absorbing the Dragon Energy of the Ice Frost Giant Dragon, Condensing Water into Ice.

Xu Nian set the bow and drew the arrow, his body like a profound bow.

Gang Qi covered his arm, while Spiritual Energy was infused into the Ice Arrow.

Despite using all his strength, Xu Nian could only draw the bowstring to the Half Moon Arc.

"Buzz!"

Releasing his hand, the Ice Sword shot out, swiftly turning into a streak of light, heading straight for a hill three thousand meters away.

"Boom!"

The twenty-meter-high hill exploded violently and was instantly leveled.

"So...so powerful!" Wang Long, with wide eyes, even stammered a bit when he spoke.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if this arrow hit a person.

Xu Nian was also amazed, not expecting the arrow to have such devastating power.

"This arrow is capable of threatening a Battle General Level master, and this is just at Half Moon Arc; if pulled to a full moon, I can't imagine how powerful it might be. Perhaps with my Talent Divine Ability and Dragon Scale Arm, I could barely manage a full draw," Xu Nian pondered.

His eyes shone like stars, his heart filled with immense joy.

"Hmph, with this giant bow, if that Red Blood Purple Winged Eagle dares to come again, I'll ensure it won't return," Xu Nian said with a slight smirk, feeling increasingly confident about the Ding Family's subsequent pursuits.
