Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1696: Bloodline Test
"You want to join the Demon God Palace?" Luo Shang confirmed again, looking at Xu Nian.
"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"I’m afraid you don’t know yet. Any independent demon wanting to join the Demon God Palace must undergo strict trials. These trials are extremely harsh, unless you possess the bloodline of the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan, which exempts you from such trials," Luo Shang said.
The others nodded in agreement.
Indeed, except for the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, anyone wishing to join the Demon God Palace must go through strict trials.
Otherwise, it’s not like all the strong beings from the Demon Clan can join the Demon God Palace?
The Demon Clan places great importance on bloodline.
Only the bloodlines of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are acclaimed as the strongest, which can disregard these trials.
Otherwise, one must undergo strict trials.
Even among the more than five hundred Demon Emperor experts under the command of the Demon God Palace, most are only under its rule and do not qualify to join the Demon God Palace.
So, when Xu Nian suggested joining the Demon God Palace, everyone present was so surprised.
"It seems you have been cultivating deep in the mountains, ignoring the outside world. To join the Demon God Palace, you must undergo bloodline, comprehension, and strength trials. These three trials must be passed individually, or you cannot join the God Palace," Luo Shang said.
People around nodded.
These three tests, it’s not guaranteed even one in a hundred million can pass.
The trials are too strict.
To take the first trial, for example, it requires the pure ancient Divine Beast bloodline to exceed fifty percent.
This is nearly impossible in the entire Demon Realm.
"I’m willing to accept the trials, but where do I go?" Xu Nian asked aloud.
"Here is fine. Any Law Enforcement Elder of the Demon God Palace can conduct the trials, and I am one of the Law Enforcement Hall Elders, so I can directly test you," Luo Shang said.
"Shall we begin then?" Xu Nian replied.
"I might not have made it clear, but these trials are perilous, and the third trial might even place your life in danger. Are you sure you want to proceed?" Luo Shang asked.
"Proceed!" Xu Nian stated.
People around were surprised, hearing this.
Members of the Lion-man Clan looked at Xu Nian in astonishment.
"Qiushui, he seems to be with you, who is this person?" asked the Clan Leader of the Lion-man Clan.
"Father, he’s the disciple of our benefactor," Qiushui replied.
"Oh? A disciple of the benefactor, then isn’t he..." The Lion-man Clan’s Clan Leader immediately realized.
"Correct, I encountered him at the Sealing God Battlefield, and this is his avatar. All other tribe members were killed by people from the Immortal Realm, and he avenged us," Qiushui transmitted the message.
"I see, so he has done a significant favor for our Lion-man Clan," the Clan Leader quickly remarked.
His gaze towards Xu Nian became respectful.
Yet he still couldn’t comprehend why, if he’s a person from the Immortal Realm, he would choose to join the Demon God Palace?
But he wouldn’t rashly speculate on what the benefactor has done.
He could only pray that Xu Nian could safely overcome the trials.
However, passing the trials for the Demon God Palace, how could it be easy?
Those from the Ba Snake Clan also shook their heads, believing Xu Nian is seeking death.
Luo Shang did not expect Xu Nian’s answer to be so firm.
However, since Xu Nian insisted on taking the trials, she naturally could not refuse.
"Alright, let’s begin the first test, the bloodline. This is the Bloodline Stone, showing ten stars on it. Drip your blood onto this Bloodline Stone; lighting up one star indicates ten percent purity of your ancient bloodline, two stars for twenty percent, and so on. If you light up five stars, you pass the first trial," Luo Shang explained.
"Five stars? Generally, how many stars can independent demons reach?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"I’ve tested a total of three thousand six hundred people, among whom the highest reached three stars. The others mostly had one or two stars," Luo Shang replied.
"Is it really that hard?" Xu Nian asked.
"More than just hard. Ancient Divine Beast bloodline is a precious thing in the Demon Realm; it’s a symbol of status. Nowadays, someone with over fifty percent ancient Divine Beast bloodline is undoubtedly considered a pure descendant of an Ancient Divine Beast," responded a Ba Snake Clan Quasi-Devil Emperor expert disparagingly.
Xu Nian was a bit surprised.
Over fifty percent is regarded as a pure Ancient Divine Beast descendant.
It seems the Demon Clan’s bloodline dilution is quite severe.
"How much do you have?" Xu Nian asked curiously, looking at Luo Shang.
"Seventy percent," Luo Shang did not hide.
Xu Nian was surprised upon hearing it.
Luo Shang with seventy percent bloodline shows that her bloodline purity is incredibly high.
"Bloodline like Princess Luo Shang’s cannot be matched by even three people in the entire Demon Realm," immediately stated the Ba Snake Clan’s Quasi-Devil Emperor.
Xu Nian instantly understood Luo Shang’s status in the Demon Realm.
The Phoenix Clan’s princess.
"Begin!" Luo Shang instructed.
"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded.
He immediately took out a Divine Dagger, slashed his finger open, squeezed out his blood, and dripped it onto the Bloodline Stone.
"Mid-grade Divine Artifact?" Luo Shang’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nian possessed a mid-grade Divine Artifact.
Though it’s merely a dagger, this shows the young man before her has considerable good fortune.
Yet she did not know that this mid-grade Divine Artifact of Xu Nian was casually forged by him.
"Buzz!"
The blood touched the Bloodline Stone.
The Bloodline Stone started to tremble.
Everyone around looked curiously at the Bloodline Stone, unsure of how many stars it would light up.
Luo Shang was curious too.
After all, Xu Nian had the Nine-Headed Snake Emperor bloodline, which is nearly extinct in the Demon Realm.
She couldn’t judge the degree of Xu Nian’s bloodline purity.
But Xu Nian was so young that she thought the bloodline wouldn’t be very high.
If he could light three stars, that would already be quite good.
Everyone around had a similar thought.
"Buzz!"
But right when everyone had little hope for Xu Nian, the Bloodline Stone started to lit.
One star!
Two stars!
Three stars!
Then came tranquility.
People around shook their heads, indeed no miracle happened.
But, three stars are already impressive.
Luo Shang nodded, it was as she expected, three stars.
"I announce..."
But just as Luo Shang was about to announce Xu Nian’s failure in the trial,
the Bloodline Stone lit up again.
"Buzz!"
The fourth star!
Huh?
Luo Shang showed a surprised expression.
People around were astonished.
This guy really has forty percent bloodline?
"Buzz!"
Yet the movement of the Bloodline Stone hadn’t concluded.
Soon, the fifth star lit up.
People around were greatly shocked.
Fifty percent bloodline?
This guy actually passed the first trial?
Luo Shang was also surprised.
She didn’t expect Xu Nian could pass the first trial?
Xu Nian felt this was nothing surprising.
On the contrary, he believed this was merely the beginning.
"Buzz!"
Indeed, as this moment, the Bloodline Stone had movement again.
The sixth star!
The seventh star!
The eighth star!
All the people around stared wide-eyed.
Eight stars?
How could this be?
This means the guy’s bloodline surpassed Luo Shang’s?
Luo Shang was also surprised.
"Buzz!"
Yet at this moment, the Bloodline Stone buzzed again.
What?
Everyone around was thunderstruck.
When they looked at the Bloodline Stone, they discovered the ninth star had also lit.
Nine stars?
Everyone was petrified on the spot!
