Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1506: Mysterious Skeleton

Next, Xu Nian exchanged a few words with Tantai Xun Yan before they parted ways.

Then, the latter advanced into the Death God Domain with the Sect.

On the third day, a great battle erupted within the Death God Domain, followed by a dead silence.

No one knew the ultimate outcome of that battle.

By the fourth day,

a Haotian Sect disciple managed to escape, but he was completely deranged.

He muttered incessantly, "All dead, all dead, even the Immortal Emperor is dead."

The maddened disciple’s words shocked Xu Nian greatly.

Three Immortal Emperors joined forces against the Death God Domain, along with thousands of Immortals, and yet they all perished?

Does this mean Tantai Xun Yan also died?

Though somewhat expected, the news still left Xu Nian deeply shaken.

It seems the Death God within the domain is far more powerful than he imagined.

"Retribution, this is retribution, none can bear the wrath of the Death God."

The residents of Hell City spoke up.

Showing expressions of schadenfreude.

Xu Nian felt his mind shaken, and the journey to the Death God Domain became extremely grave for him.

Three days later, Xu Nian approached the edge of the Death God Domain alone.

Before him was a forest shrouded in blackness, eerily peculiar trees.

Trees capable of growing in such a death-filled environment surely aren’t ordinary Immortal Trees.

"I wonder if I can successfully retrieve the Realm Heart Lake Water," Xu Nian muttered gravely.

Initially, before coming, he held onto a shred of hope.

To see if he could obtain the divine Death Principle from the Death God.

But now, it seems this is nearly impossible.

Three Immortal Emperors and thousands of Haotian Sect disciples invaded, yet nearly all were annihilated.

Xu Nian lacked the confidence to defeat a demigod-level powerhouse.

"I should focus on obtaining the Realm Heart Lake Water first."

With that, Xu Nian ventured deeper into the Death God Domain.

Upon stepping into the domain, Xu Nian felt a surge of thick Death Qi.

Then, he discovered his Immortal Consciousness was severely restricted.

It couldn’t extend beyond one hundred meters from his body.

Moreover, if the Immortal Consciousness remained outside for too long, it would be corroded, causing soul-aching pain.

This discovery made Xu Nian even more serious.

The Death God Domain is vast.

The place is densely forested; how could he find the Realm Heart Lake without the Immortal Consciousness?

Flying to the sky, Xu Nian dared not.

An unspeakably dreadful Death Qi enveloped the domain’s sky.

Even an Immortal Emperor entering would have their Life Energy completely devoured.

"Never mind, we’ll have to search slowly," Xu Nian muttered to himself, navigating the domain.

His speed was cautious, for any carelessness might lead into dire straits.

Such straits could spell eternal doom.

"Buzz!"

While traversing a dense forest.

Three humanoid skeletons suddenly emerged.

Their eye sockets burned with terrifying green flames, wielding Top-grade Immortal Swords, they struck at Xu Nian.

The skeletons were fast and powerful, their sword swings imbued with intense Death Principle Law Waves.

Being hit by the Immortal Sword would instantly be consumed by the Death Principle.

Xu Nian struck with a punch, hitting one of the skeletons.

"Boom!"

The Ksitigarbha Fist erupted.

Terrifying power poured onto the skeleton.

The skeleton was instantly shattered.

However, the other two skeletons attacked at that moment.

Xu Nian immediately conjured Divine Fire, consuming the two skeletons.

Under the burning Divine Fire, the skeletons turned to ashes.

"Such strange skeletons."

Looking at the skeletons, Xu Nian was surprised.

Judging by the bone density, these skeletons were Profound Immortal-level immortals before death.

Yet just now, the skeletons displayed Golden Immortal-level power.

"Could it be the Death God is controlling these puppets?" Xu Nian wondered, feeling slightly serious.

If the Death God indeed controlled these puppets, it was possible to let these Profound Immortal-level Immortals, after death, burst forth with Golden Immortal-level power.

Moreover, the Death Principle clearly related to the Death God.

"Lord Demon Venerate, what means can control skeletons after death?" Xu Nian pondered for a moment, before deciding to inquire Heavenly Demon Sovereign.

"Controlling skeletons after death? Numerous methods exist, puppet techniques work, and Demon Clan’s Blood Shadow Technique works too. From the battle you just had, these aren’t those methods."

"Nor do I believe the Death God is controlling them. If so, the skeletons’ Death Principle would not be so weak, nor would they lack Spiritual Wisdom," explained Wentian Demon Sovereign.

Xu Nian nodded.

He felt it unlikely the Death God controlled them.

As the skeletons’ attacks seemed more instinctive.

"If I’m correct, these skeletons were likely corroded by the Death God’s Qi, gathering large amounts within, thus erupting such formidable power," stated Wentian Demon Sovereign.

Xu Nian nodded, seeing reason.

Continuing along, he encountered five more skeletons.

This time, the skeletons were stronger, now possessing Immortal King level strength.

Yet their bone density only matched Luoxian Realm.

"These skeletons’ strength isn’t directly related to their cultivation before death, rather it correlates with how much death Qi they absorbed," Xu Nian mused.

To verify his theory.

He hunted more skeletons.

Ultimately confirming his conclusion was accurate.

The longer the skeletons were corroded by Death Qi, the stronger they became, exhibiting potent Death Principle.

The flames in their eye sockets surged fiercer.

"Looks like everyone who perishes in the Death God Domain eventually becomes such skeletons," Xu Nian reflected.

If so, the domain is perilous beyond measure.

Over its billions of years, unknown numbers of powerhouses fell here.

Xu Nian even suspected whether Haotian Sect’s Immortal Emperors faced off against the Death God.

Xu Nian is currently still at the domain’s outskirts, venturing deeper holds unknown terrors.

"Help me!"

At this moment, a silhouette suddenly rushed towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow.

He saw a woman clad in Haotian Sect attire.

A skeleton followed closely behind her.

Its eyes emitted red flames.

Obviously reaching Immortal King Peak Level.

Yet the woman’s cultivation was only Luoxian Early Stage.

The woman saw Xu Nian, appearing startled, and her eyes that echoed despair erupted with a survival instinct, rushing to Xu Nian’s side.

Xu Nian initially wanted to ignore it, but the skeleton noticed the stronger prey in Xu Nian, attacking him.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow, unleashing a punch.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion.

The skeleton shattered instantly.

The woman saw this scene, revealing a terrified expression.
