Divine King of Honour

Zhao Yanyun and the others gaped, too shocked to speak.

Xu Nian's Body Cultivation was only three-star, but it was incredibly domineering and terrifying, surpassing his peers by far.

Of course, what Xu Nian was practicing was not ordinary Body Refinement but the Divine Demon Refining Body, which naturally could not be compared to that of ordinary Body Cultivators.

Moreover, with Xu Nian being a Nine Dragons Supreme Body and blessed with Dragon Energy, even relying solely on Body Cultivation, he could contend with an average Nine-star Body Sect, which showcased the overbearing nature of Xu Nian's Divine Demon Refining Body.

Chen Xuanlong was also somewhat surprised; this young man's Body Cultivation was quite unusual.

However, it was not enough to shock him.

"Hum!"

At that moment, the second puppet appeared.

This time, Xu Nian did not hide his Spiritual Cultivation and revealed it.

Thus, the moment the second Silver-level Puppet appeared, it possessed the strength of a One-star Battle General Level.

Constructed entirely of Xuan Iron, its power was shockingly immense, and it wielded a Xuan Iron Sword in its hand.

"I wonder if Xu Nian can defeat this Silver-level Puppet," Chen Yao asked with some worry.

"Just watch," Chen Wudi said with a smile.

A Golden Level Puppet might still pose some threat to Xu Nian, but this Silver-level Puppet was not much of a threat at all.

Chen Yao, hearing Chen Wudi's words, still found it hard to believe, as the Silver-level Puppet was quite strong.

"Swish!"

At that moment, Xu Nian had already engaged the Silver-level Puppet in battle.

The puppet's assault was much more ferocious than Xu Nian had expected; its Xuan Iron Sword slashed at him one strike after another.

Though it lacked the enhancement of Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi, its strength was terrifying.

Of course, Xu Nian was no pushover either; wielding the black sword, he countered every move with ease. It could be said he was very relaxed.

Xu Nian easily neutralized all the Silver-level Puppet's strength; it hadn't hurt Xu Nian in the slightest.

"I hadn't expected this young man to be so proficient in swordsmanship, but relying solely on swordsmanship is insufficient," Chen Xuanlong commented with admiration as he stroked his beard.

Xu Nian's sword strokes were sharp and fluid, like clouds flowing across the sky; he could be called a swordsmanship grandmaster.

But the true reliance of sword moves is on the realm, and only with a profound realm can the true power of the sword be unleashed.

He soon realized he was wrong; the young man before him was even more fearsome than he had imagined.

"It's time to end this," Xu Nian said, a glint of sharpness flashing across his eyes as his black sword suddenly cleaved out.

Wind Blade Kill!

The Wind Force infused within, transforming into a giant Wind Blade.

The puppet made of Xuan Iron was instantly bisected.

The cut was so neat and smooth it was especially striking.

"This... this is 'intent'?" Chen Xuanlong's eyes widened, showing an extremely surprised expression.

This young man was hardly of age yet, but he had already grasped 'intent.'

Chen Xuanlong remembered he was forty-eight when he had grasped 'intent,' who knows how many years younger than this youngster.

To comprehend 'intent' at sixteen or seventeen was simply too heaven-defying.

Chen Yao was also looking on in astonishment; although she had heard of Xu Nian grasping 'intent,' she really had no concept of what it entailed.

Now, seeing Xu Nian execute his sword move, she finally understood how powerful this strike truly was.

"So strong. Even at my peak, I would undoubtedly die against this sword," Chen An couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhao Yanyun, also a One-star Battle General, felt the same way.

Xu Nian's sword strike just now was more potent than the one he had used to kill Chen Shan.

Slicing through Xuan Iron as if it were tofu was simply terrifying.

Xu Nian looked at the Silver-level Puppet split in half and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

The Wind Blade Kill, when wielded by Black God, was much more powerful than when he used the Xuan Iron Sword.

The sword forged from the bizarre metal was truly worthy of being called bizarre metal.

It was just unknown what this bizarre metal was, and also Chen Yao said that this Black God contained an inheritance.

However, he had looked for a long time and still had not discovered where the Sword Dao inheritance within this Black God was.

Yet merely based on the sharpness of the sword, it was enough to be called a treasure.

"Buzz!"

Just as Xu Nian had defeated the Silver-level Puppet, a golden light emerged on the platform, followed by a figure that appeared in front of Xu Nian.

This was a Metal Puppet that was entirely golden, but its eyeballs were bright and expressive, which after scanning once, fixed its gaze on Xu Nian's expression.

"Was it you who defeated the two puppets before?" the Golden Puppet curiously asked.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised; this Puppet could actually talk.

Zhao Yanyun and the others also showed an astonished look; the Puppet was a lifeless object, how could it possibly truly possess intelligence?

What a heaven-defying method, could even a Saint achieve this?

Yet Chen Xuanlong stroked his beard and chuckled to himself, transmitting a message to Xu Nian, "Boy, a Saint could never create such a divine artifact. This Metal Puppet was discovered by the Chen Family Ancestor from some Ancient Relic; it should be a technique of Ancient Sages, known as Puppetry Technique, but it has been lost."

"Ancient Sages? Puppetry Technique?" Xu Nian was astonished in his heart.

He knew that during the Ancient Times, the strong of that era were clearly much stronger than those of now.

Many secret techniques had already been lost.

For example, Ancient Witchcraft, Puppetry Technique, Divine Demon Refining Body, and other such powerful and mysterious secret techniques had all disappeared in the river of time.

One had to admit, this Puppetry Technique was indeed magical.

It had some resemblance to their Artifact Refining; at a certain level of Artifact Refining, one could bestow an Artifact Spirit upon a weapon.

And this intelligent Puppet was like the Artifact Spirit of a Puppet weapon.

"Human, since you've already defeated the Copper-level and Silver-level Puppets, let's begin your third challenge. However, I must warn you, challenging me might cost you your life. The previous two Puppets would only repel you, but once I make a move, it's a killing blow. Are you still sure you want to challenge me?" The Golden Puppet's golden pupils flickered, and its eyes surged with golden light.

Its body, clad in Meteorite Iron Armor, exuded a sense of cold hardness, filled with endless power.

"I've come here to challenge; naturally, I will challenge. If you can kill me, so much the better. But if you can't, you must acknowledge me as master," Xu Nian said with a light smile.

He was filled with interest in the Golden Level Puppet; if he could study it closely, he would have yet another trick up his sleeve.

"Fine, as long as you can defeat me, I will acknowledge you as master," the Golden Level Puppet responded in a cold voice.

"Then bring it on!" Xu Nian's mouth curled into a mocking smile, and with Black God retracted, he directly charged at the Golden Level Puppet with his fists swinging.

The Collapse Thunder Fist Rule, when unleashed using Spiritual Energy, was still extremely terrifying.

The Golden Level Puppet's eyes turned cold, and it threw out a punch as well.

At this moment, its strength was comparable to the Peak of a One-star Battle General.

"Boom!"

When fists collided, a deafening boom resounded.

A thunderclap erupted from the ground.

The crowd around were shocked, covering their ears.

While at this moment, Xu Nian was already engaged in combat with the Golden Level Puppet, with Blood-colored Scale Armor covering his arms, clashing fiercely with the Puppet.

Spiritual Energy surged around him, draping Xu Nian in a layer of sacred radiance.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two exchanged blows, neither gaining an upper hand.

The surrounding crowd was utterly astounded; Xu Nian could actually fight to a draw with a Puppet forged of Meteorite Iron.

Absolutely terrifying!
