Divine King of Honour

Deep in the Imperial Palace of the Empire.

Before a massive Sword Stele.

An elderly figure sat cross-legged, still as deadwood.

"Buzz!"

A fluctuation transmitted.

Following that, a figure appeared not far behind the elderly man.

This was a middle-aged man, his presence filled with a thick imperial majesty.

Indeed, he was the current Emperor Tianhen of the Imperial Family.

"Child pays respects to the great ancestor."

Emperor Tianhen approached behind the elderly man, speaking respectfully to himself.

"How are things?"

The elderly man did not open his eyes but spoke softly.

"Reporting to the great ancestor, it... it failed; the Life Soul Jade Pendant of Xingchenzi has shattered," Emperor Tianhen responded.

Upon hearing this, the elderly man suddenly opened his eyes.

A terrifying Sword Intent burst forth from his eyes.

The elderly man slowly stood up, turning his head to look at Emperor Tianhen.

Emperor Tianhen shivered involuntarily, not daring to meet the eyes of his great ancestor.

Although the face of the great ancestor showed no expression, he knew the great ancestor was now angry.

The atmosphere around them pressed down on him ominously.

This empire was built single-handedly by the old man before him, who could also destroy it single-handedly.

Hence, even as an emperor, every time he saw this elderly man, his heart would feel uneasy.

"The boy's growth rate is somewhat unexpected; I fear he has already broken through to the Emperor Level," the elderly man stated.

"Emperor Level? How is that possible? He is not even twenty years old," Emperor Tianhen exclaimed in surprise.

"Nothing is impossible. Since this boy can bear the dragon veins, he must be no ordinary person. If I am not mistaken, both the Black God Island and the Wild Beast Forest are starting to pay silent attention to him," the elderly man said.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianhen suddenly showed a surprised look.

He knew how powerful the two individuals from Black God Island and the Wild Beast Forest, mentioned by his great ancestor, were.

His great ancestor, whose strength was unknown, had always stayed reclusive in this ancestral land because of them.

And now, those two were actually taking notice of Xu Nian's actions.

This was not a good sign for their Imperial Family.

"Great ancestor, what should we do now? Should we kill Xu Nian or not?" Emperor Tianhen asked, frowning.

If Xu Nian was really watched by those two parties, taking action against him might provoke their anger.

If that happened, the situation for the Imperial Family would become very difficult.

"Of course, kill him. Xu Nian's potential is so great; if he truly becomes one of those two forces' people, he will bring endless trouble to our Tianhen Empire later. Isn't he about to move against your eighth son? Then use this opportunity to lure him out and finish him off completely," the elder coldly huffed.

"But wouldn't that be too risky? After all, Old Eight is the most talented in our Xia Family's history," Emperor Tianhen expressed his concerns.

"Humph, what is there risky or not risky? If he truly has talent, why would he be afraid of this little risk? A true strong man is forged through slaughter. I heard he's recently on the verge of breaking into the Emperor Realm. Take this with you; it will surely be of great use to him," the elder said.

After speaking, a Jade Bottle appeared in his hand.

Seeing the Jade Bottle, Emperor Tianhen's eyes immediately lit up.

Excitedly, he responded, "Child thanks the great ancestor on behalf of Old Eight."

Saying this, he quickly received the Jade Bottle with both hands.

"Go now, I hope this time you will not disappoint me," the great ancestor waved his hand.

"Yes, I guarantee not to disappoint the great ancestor," Emperor Tianhen excitedly replied.

After speaking, he left the ancestral land.

Reappearing in the grand hall, Emperor Tianhen looked at the Jade Bottle in his hand.

His heart was filled with surprise.

He hadn't expected the ancestor to actually be willing to take out this item as a reward for Old Eight.

It was known that, in the past, the ancestor almost lost his life for it.

One could imagine just how precious this item was.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a terrifying imperial might fluctuated from afar.

The sky was enveloped in rolling dark clouds as the imperial might rained down.

Clearly, this Heavenly Punishment was triggered by that imperial might.

"The imperial might is coming from the direction of Old Eight's mansion. It seems that Old Eight has already achieved a breakthrough, and unexpectedly, he has even activated the Heavenly Prohibition," Emperor Tianhen said with a hint of joy in his eyes as he watched the thunderclouds roll.

With Old Eight breaking through to the Battle Emperor Realm and possessing this item, his future achievements would be boundless.

"Buzz!"

Meanwhile, the palace where the Eighth Prince resided shone.

A handsome young man walked out from inside a palace.

He looked up at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, his lips curling into a light smile.

With a flick of his sleeve.

His figure directly soared into the sky.

And landed on a vast square.

"Is this the Battle Emperor Realm? Such a powerful feeling," the Eighth Prince said to himself joyfully, feeling the power surging in his body like a vast sea.

At this moment, everyone in the Imperial Capital was startled.

Especially the Emperor-level strong men who had always remained hidden in the shadows, who now came forth one after another.

"Such strong fluctuations. Is this the Eighth Prince breaking through? Why is there such a huge disturbance just after breaking through?"

"What an Eighth Prince, I had no idea he had this kind of physique hidden so deeply. If it weren't for this breakthrough, we still wouldn't have known that he actually had such a physique."

"Drawing this Heavenly Tribulation, it must be at least the Second Level Heavenly Restriction, right? It seems who will snatch the title of the empire's greatest talent is still uncertain."

...

Those Emperor-level strong men emerged from the shadows, looking up at the anomaly in the sky, muttering to themselves in surprise.

"Is this the legendary Innate Thunder Spirit Body?"

At the Eighth Prince's palace, a middle-aged man looked at the purple lightning coiling around the Eighth Prince, his face showing shock.

It turned out that this prince.

Not only possessed the Origin of the Star Battle Body.

But he was also one of the nine Innate Attribute Bodies, an Innate Thunder Spirit Body.

This physique held an extremely powerful talent for the Thunderclap Attribute.

Now, with thunder coiling around him, and lightning illuminating the sky.

Purple patterns flickered on the surface of the Eighth Prince's skin.

A strong aura emanated from him.

He stood proudly, like a Thunderclap War God emerging into the world.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Punishment Thunder in the sky crashed down furiously.

The lightning struck directly upon the Eighth Prince.

However, the Eighth Prince made no defense whatsoever, instead spreading his arms and allowing the thunder to strike him.

"Boom!"

As the lightning crashed down, the terrifying thunder struck the Eighth Prince.

But it didn't cause him the slightest injury.

On the contrary, the thunder striking his body was directly absorbed by him.

"So exhilarating, this thunder containing the Power of Destruction's might is much more thrilling than Mortal Thunder," the Eighth Prince said, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, his face showing an immensely gratified expression.

At that moment, his aura also became more solid, charging towards the Peak of One-star Battle Emperor.
