Divine King of Honour

"Human youngster, don't you think your request is a bit too excessive? Asking a magnificent Wanxiang Realm Demon Beast like me to guard you for half a year?" the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle coldly huffed.

It obviously felt that the human youth before it was making an outrageous demand.

"You think I'm being excessive? Then you might as well just kill me. But then again, you'll have to stay here for a thousand years or even ten thousand years. Perhaps by then, this Small World will collapse on its own, and you'll be able to leave," Xu Nian said with a look of unconcern.

However, these words irritated the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle to the point where its teeth itched with anger.

A thousand years, ten thousand years—it's not so easily endured.

That kind of torment really made it feel like it was about to go mad.

So, when it heard Xu Nian mention that he could rescue it, that was why it became so thrilled.

Seeing the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle's expression of struggle, Xu Nian immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Think about it, saving me out of here means, at most, you'd stay by my side for half a year. Unless it's a critical moment, I won't ask you to lift a finger. Once half a year passes, you'll be free to roam the heavens and the earth, go wherever you want—I won't stop you."

A flicker of longing appeared on the face of the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle, seemingly moved by Xu Nian's description.

"Fine, if you truly can rescue me from here, I will protect you for half a year. But if you can't, I won't kill you. Instead, I will sever all your limbs, bind you here, and have you accompany me through a thousand years or ten thousand years," the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle immediately declared.

"Agreed, then you must make an oath, otherwise, if you go back on your word after I've saved you, there will be nothing I can do about it," Xu Nian immediately said.

The Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle was resolute.

It swore an oath to the heavens directly.

"Buzz!"

A Law Wave emanated.

If the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle broke its oath, it would be annihilated soul and spirit.

Of course, that was predicated on Xu Nian truly being able to rescue it.

"Human youngster, now that I've made my oath, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?" the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle asked.

The crowd around them all turned their gazes towards Xu Nian.

Could this Xu Nian truly destroy this Small World?

Xu Yu and others also looked puzzledly towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian simply smiled faintly.

He then began to activate the Kun Cave within the Black Jade.

"Buzz!"

As Xu Nian activated it,

A black hole the size of a head appeared just above Xu Nian's crown.

And with the emergence of this black hole,

An immense suction force burst forth.

The Spiritual Energy within the Small World instantly faced a frenzied siphoning.

"Is he trying to drain all the Spiritual Energy of this Small World? How is that possible? This Small World is continuously absorbing Spiritual Energy from the outside world, how could it possibly be drained?" the surrounding Saints all debated in consternation.

Xu Yu and the others also furrowed their brows slightly.

"Hmph, is this your so-called solution? Human youngster, are you toying with me?" the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle coldly shouted.

Clearly, it felt that Xu Nian was mocking it.

If it were so simple to rescue it,

Why then would it need to wait for ten thousand years?

But Xu Nian remained smiling, silent.

Immediately, his gaze turned even more piercing as he fully activated the Kun Cave within the Black Jade.

Following Xu Nian's full activation,

The black hole, which was originally only the size of a head, abruptly expanded tenfold.

"Buzz!"

An incredibly violent suction force burst forth from the black hole in an instant.

The Spiritual Energy around them surged towards the black hole like a tidal wave.

This force was so powerful that even the surrounding space was torn apart,

Resulting in a dense tangle of cracks.

And these cracks kept expanding further into the distance.

"What a terrifying suction force, what on earth is this thing, how could it be so fearsome?" the crowd around exclaimed in horror.

They all fled towards the entrance of the Small World.

"You all go out and wait for me too!" Xu Nian immediately instructed Xu Yu and the others.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Yu and the others finally nodded.

In a moment, everyone hastily left the Small World.

They knew that with the terrifying absorption of the black hole,

this Small World would inevitably collapse.

Once the Small World collapsed, they were very likely to be trapped within the fissures in space.

"Let's go!"

Duan Tianya and Elder Lin, who had been watching from a distance, also reluctantly left the Small World.

Xu Nian did not try to stop them.

Although he knew that releasing a tiger back into the mountain was not good,

he also knew that if he truly wanted to kill this master and servant, his current strength was not yet sufficient.

"Haha, it's finally breaking, finally breaking, I can finally get out," laughed the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle excitedly.

He stretched out his enormous claw and violently slapped it towards the floating islands around him.

"Boom!"

With a slap of his giant claw, an island shattered into pieces.

Xu Nian watched, dumbfounded.

Although he could also shatter the island,

he couldn't do it as effortlessly as the Xuan Turtle.

Even the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar did not possess such terrifying power.

"Hum!"

As the Spiritual Energy was absorbed,

those floating islands also started to fall from the sky, smashing into pieces.

The entire space of the Small World trembled continuously as space fissures kept appearing.

The chaotic storms also began to surge throughout the Small World.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

This was a sign of the Small World's collapse.

To him, this was completely good news.

It allowed Kun Cave to absorb even more power and also provided him with a free helper.

With this, his confidence in facing the Imperial Family was even greater.

"Human child, it seems you really did not deceive me, good, since you have fulfilled your promise to me, I will naturally keep mine," said the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled slightly.

"Then can you transform into a human shape? You can't always follow me in your true form, right?" Xu Nian asked the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.

He knew that some Demon Beasts were reluctant to take on human forms.

Clearly, this Xuan Turtle was one of them.

"I can!"

After saying that, the Xuan Turtle shook his body and directly transformed into a middle-aged man.

However, his eyebrows were green,

and he wore a dark green robe.

Standing there, he exuded an unassailable aura.

"The human form is just awkward; it's not as handsome as my true self," complained the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

It seemed that the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle was quite vain.

"Alright then, let's head out," said Xu Nian to the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.

Now, the space around them had almost completely collapsed.

The seal that had been placed on the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle was also in tatters.

As soon as the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle made a move, the seal would instantly shatter.

"Haha, I am finally going to get out."

The Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle laughed heartily, actually moving towards the entrance before Xu Nian.

Xu Nian, feeling helpless, put away the Black Jade and followed through the entrance.

As soon as Xu Nian and the others left,

the entire Small World finally could no longer hold on and completely collapsed.
