Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian progressed on his journey, continuously engaging in conversation with the elder.

Eventually, he discovered the elder's identity: it turned out this elder was none other than Chen Tiansheng's Ancestor, the last Saint of the Chen Family.

Thus, Xu Nian revealed the identity of the elder to Chen Yao and Chen Wudi. Both were shocked upon hearing this and began to admire this unseen ancestor in their hearts.

Chen Xuanlong, before entering the ancestral land, was a Nine-star Marquis Level powerhouse. When his end was near, he entered the ancestral land.

Unexpectedly, just before his death, he serendipitously broke through to the Holy Realm.

He could have been immortal, but because he had realized it too late, his body had already transformed to dust, leaving only a wisp of Spiritual Sense wandering within the ancestral land.

In theory, his newly-ascended Saint-level Spiritual Sense shouldn't have been too strong and should have dissipated quickly.

However, Chen Xuanlong inadvertently discovered a Spirit Jade Tree within this ancestral land. He constantly absorbed the Soul Power from the Spirit Jade Tree, which allowed him to maintain his Spiritual Sense without dissipating and thus became a wandering spirit of this ancestral land.

Not long ago, the Soul Power of the Spirit Jade Tree was completely drained by him, causing the tree to wither completely.

He originally thought he would spend his remaining years alone in this ancestral land, but he didn't expect to encounter Xu Nian, and furthermore, Xu Nian was actually able to see him, which filled him with joy.

Even though descendants of the Chen Family had entered in the past, he could only watch, unable to communicate with them.

"Look, there's a perfectly intact palace up ahead—it must contain an inheritance." Just then, Chen An suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the palace, seeing it was very majestic, with an aura of sanctity emanating from within.

"This is the palace of one of my Chen Family's Saintly Ancestors; he was very powerful and was a Six-star War Saint during his lifetime!" Chen Xuanlong looked at the magnificent palace ahead and spoke with emotion.

"Saint Palace? Six-star War Saint?" A look of surprise appeared on Xu Nian's face.

Zhao Yanyun and the others also showed surprise upon hearing Xu Nian's words. A palace left by a Saint—didn't that mean there might be an inheritance left by the Saint inside?

"What are we waiting for? Let's go in!" Chen An said excitedly.

If they could obtain the inheritance of a Saint, then their journey would not be in vain.

"It's not that easy to get the inheritance. Inside this palace, there are three puppets left by that Saint, each of Gold, Silver, Bronze Levels. Only by defeating all three will one be able to obtain the inheritance," Chen Xuanlong explained to Xu Nian.

"Three puppets? At what levels are these three puppets?" Xu Nian quickly inquired.

"It varies because the level of the puppets is determined by the strength of the challenger. The Copper-level puppet will be of the same level as the challenger, while the Silver-level puppet will be one level higher," Chen Xuanlong replied.

"So does that mean the Golden Level puppet will be two levels higher?" Xu Nian asked.

Chen Xuanlong shook his head and said, "The Golden Level puppet is only one level higher than the challenger as well, but it possesses great intelligence. Once it has intelligence, that means it has mastered combat skills. You must understand that the bodies of the puppets are crafted from metal. The Copper-level and Silver-level are both made of Xuan Iron, while the Golden Level puppet is forged from Meteorite Iron, which makes it a treasure of immeasurable value in and of itself."

"One level higher, a body crafted from Meteorite Iron, and with intelligence. How can we fight that?" Xu Nian said with a look of surprise on his face.

The others, seeing the surprise on Xu Nian's face, looked at him in confusion.

Xu Nian then relayed everything Chen Xuanlong had said to the others, and upon hearing it, they all gasped in astonishment.

"I'll give it a try," Chen Yao offered.

Xu Nian nodded.

Although Chen Yao's cultivation was weak, the level of the puppet was determined by the strength of the opponent, so the Copper-level puppet shouldn't be too concerning.

However, Xu Nian soon realized his mistake.

As Chen Yao approached the platform in front of the palace, a bronze-colored puppet appeared out of nowhere.

This puppet also possessed the strength of a Five-star Battle Sect.

Without any needless words, the bronze puppet immediately took action against Chen Yao.

Its speed was incredible, and Chen Yao could only respond in a rush.

Chen Yao's sword strikes landed on the puppet without causing any reaction, but the puppet's bronze fists forced her to retreat repeatedly.

"Bang!"

Finally, Chen Yao revealed an opening and was struck in the abdomen by the bronze puppet's fist, blasting her out of the platform.

As she was knocked out of the platform, the bronze puppet vanished.

"So strong, it has both the reaction speed and strength to match the peak of a Five-star Body Sect, and most importantly, its defense is invincible, without a single weakness," Zhao Yanyun could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Chen An also nodded repeatedly; the puppet was too strong, virtually unbeatable at the same level.

"Hmph, broken puppet, daring to harm my sister, watch me beat it flat," Chen Wudi snorted coldly, finishing his words before vaulting onto the platform.

The bronze puppet appeared again, but this time it was at a Four-star Battle Sect Level.

Chen Wudi snorted coldly and charged forward.

The bronze puppet also threw a punch, and as the two clashed, Chen Wudi gained a slight upper hand, yet it did not inflict substantial damage on the bronze puppet.

After several exchanges of blows, the result was the same.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised as well; Chen Wudi, without employing his Talent Phenomenon, had the strength comparable to a Five-star Battle Sect warrior, and the fact that the puppet was only slightly at a disadvantage showed how strong it really was.

Finally, enraged, Chen Wudi summoned a Meteorite Iron Sword in his hand, activated his Talent Phenomenon, and his strength instantly skyrocketed to the Six-star Realm. With one slash, he split the puppet into two halves.

Chen Xuanlong's eyes flashed with excitement, his face full of surprise as he muttered excitedly to himself, "Is this our Chen Family Ancestor's Star Battle Body?"

Xu Nian smiled faintly. Chen Wudi's current strength was still weak; only when he became stronger in the future could he fully unleash the might of the Star Battle Body.

"Buzz!"

Just as Xu Nian and the others were rejoicing, another puppet appeared on the platform.

And this time, the puppet had reached the peak of the Five-star Battle Sect Level, holding a sword in its hand—a Xuan Iron Sword. With his current cultivation, Chen Wudi could only manage a draw against it.

And this was while wielding the Meteorite Iron Sword; otherwise, he would have been at a disadvantage.

"Damn, I'm done fighting!" After three hundred rounds of fierce battle, Chen Wudi cursed loudly and withdrew from the combat area.

He was evenly matched with the puppet; continuing the fight was pointless.

Then Zhao Yanyun made her move, barely managing a stalemate with the copper-level puppet.

After all, she was a high-ranking Battle General and had just entered that level not long ago. To fight a copper-level puppet to a draw was already quite impressive, not to mention the silver-level puppet, which was a whole level higher.

As for Chen An, there was no need to go into details; his strength was that of an early-level Battle General, and he had lost an arm, severely impairing his ability, not even capable of beating a copper-level.

"Let me try!" Xu Nian said with a smile, walking towards the Battle Platform.

The others all turned to watch Xu Nian; among them, he was perhaps the most likely to succeed in passing the challenge.

But these three puppets were too strong. Up to now, they hadn't even seen the final Golden Level Puppet, and even for Xu Nian, they felt the probability of success wasn't too high.

"Buzz!"

As Xu Nian stepped onto the Battle Platform, the Copper-level Puppet appeared; however, it only had the cultivation of a Three-star Battle Sect Level.

Because Xu Nian had concealed all his Spiritual Cultivation, emitting only his Body Sect cultivation, which was truly at the three-star level.

Three-star against three-star, as long as Xu Nian did not use his Spiritual Energy, the puppet's strength would not change.

"Buzz!"

The Copper-level Puppet came at Xu Nian, its Iron Fist domineering and fierce.

However, in Xu Nian's eyes, it was nothing formidable.

"Three-Forging Hammer, Collapse Thunder!"

Xu Nian snorted and threw a punch in return.

Striking after the opponent, a direct punch hit the chest of the Copper-level Puppet.

The chest of the Copper-level Puppet instantly caved in, and the armor made of Xuan Iron was also directly deformed.

"What terrifying power, to directly deform Xuan Iron!" Those below watched Xu Nian's fight and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although they knew Xu Nian would have no problem dealing with a Copper-level Puppet, they hadn't expected him to be so ferocious.

Xu Nian didn't stop there, he stepped forward again and unleashed the Dragon King Fist.

The Divine Dragon roared, with the shadow of the dragon augmenting the strike!

With one punch, the Copper-level Puppet was sent flying backward instantaneously, slamming into the palace wall.

The entire body was embedded in the wall, completely deformed.

Copper-level Puppet, killed in seconds!
