Divine King of Honour-Chapter 559 Golden Blood
Xu Nian quickly returned to Rom City, following Yan Sha and Wu Fenglan.
After returning to Rom City, Xu Nian went straight to his residence.
He needed to carefully study the Divine Demon Body he had brought back.
"Buzz!"
With a flick of his sleeve,
the Divine Demon Body that Xu Nian had previously placed in the Ice Coffin appeared in the hall.
"Buzz!"
The shadow of Wentian Demon Sovereign also materialized as a dark figure beside Xu Nian.
At this moment, the figure of Wentian Demon Sovereign was clearly much more solid than before.
"Senior, have you devoured all the power of that Dark Pope?" Xu Nian asked in surprise upon seeing Wentian Demon Sovereign.
"Yes, but it wasn't as useful as expected. If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Pope we killed earlier was not his true self, so the real Dark Pope should still be alive," Wentian Demon Sovereign said.
As an old monster who had lived for many years, how could he be fooled by such a trivial trick?
It's just that he hadn't previously taken the time to thoroughly investigate the palace.
After rethinking it upon his return, he understood what had happened.
The Dark Pope had performed a classic deceiving tactic, hiding his true power from them.
"So, what should we do? Should we go back and slay the Dark Pope?" Xu Nian asked.
Wentian Demon Sovereign shook his head, "No need, although I've recovered some strength, I'm still in a soul state. The Dark Pope's methods are not weak, something I underestimated before. Moreover, by now he has probably already left the Death God Domain."
Xu Nian nodded.
He hadn't expected the Dark Pope to actually escape.
This meant that the Dark Pope would probably not rest until he had his revenge.
Perhaps, one day, after obtaining a powerful body, he would come seeking vengeance against him.
"You don't have to worry about this. Unless the Dark Pope is absolutely certain, he won't make a move against you. My presence should deter him for some time. Right now, your most important task is to extract the Divine Demon Bloodline from this Divine Demon Body," said Wentian Demon Sovereign.
"Senior, if this Divine Demon Body is so powerful, why don't you use this body yourself?" Xu Nian asked Wentian Demon Sovereign.
Wentian Demon Sovereign laughed upon hearing this.
"To you, this Divine Demon Body may be considered powerful, but to me, it's practically rubbish. If my soul were to merge with it, my future achievements would likely be severely limited. So, you don't need to worry about helping me reshape my body for now," Wentian Demon Sovereign said with a smile.
Xu Nian felt a bit embarrassed.
He hadn't expected that what he saw as the strongest body was considered trash in the eyes of Wentian Demon Sovereign.
"Then how do we extract the Divine Demon Bloodline?" Xu Nian asked.
"It's quite simple. It might be difficult for others to extract it, but you practice the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique. As long as you activate the technique, you can draw out the Divine Demon Bloodline from within this Divine Demon Body," Wentian Demon Sovereign replied.
Xu Nian nodded, understanding.
Without any hesitation, he began to activate the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique.
And with the operation of the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, Xu Nian felt as though he was resonating with the Divine Demon Body.
A rumble of thunder began to echo within the body of the Divine Demon.
"Quick, cut open his skin!" Wentian Demon Sovereign instructed.
Without delay, Xu Nian took out the Immortal Sword to cut the skin of the Divine Demon Body.

However, to Xu Nian's surprise, the Immortal Sword was actually unable to cut through the skin of the Divine Demon.
Having no other choice, Xu Nian had to call upon the Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
Only after the Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation enveloped him did Xu Nian manage to cut open the Divine Demon Body with difficulty.
And, as soon as the skin was cut open,
a stream of blood, like a water snake, poured out from the wound of the Divine Demon Body.
What Xu Nian didn't expect was that the blood of the Divine Demon Body was actually a pale gold color.
Although the gold was rather diluted, one could still make out those traces of gold.
Within this golden blood was a secretly powerful and incomparable Demonic Qi.
"The real Divine Demon blood is golden. The one before you should be one of the lowest ranked Divine Demons, which is why its blood is the lightest and most diluted shade of gold. It is said that the royals among the Divine Demons possess Purple Gold Blood, born with incomparable strength," Wentian Demon Sovereign seemingly noticed Xu Nian's confusion and explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's face also revealed a look of astonishment.
He hadn't expected the blood of the Divine Demon to be golden.
He had thought that all creatures' blood was red.
"Then as my cultivation becomes stronger and stronger, will my blood also turn golden?" Xu Nian asked.
"Correct, your Divine Demon Refining Body Technique is actually transforming you bit by bit into something as powerful as a Divine Demon, so with the enhancement of your cultivation, your blood color will also gradually change to gold. However, this change probably won't happen until you breakthrough to the Vajra Realm," the Wentian Demon Sovereign said.
Xu Nian nodded and continued to extract the Divine Demon Essence Blood.
Soon, all of the Divine Demon's essence blood was extracted.
A fist-sized sphere of golden blood floated in front of Xu Nian.
While ordinary blood is abundant in most beings, essence blood is exceedingly rare.
It was quite impressive for the Divine Demon to yield a sphere of essence blood the size of a fist.
Xu Nian could feel the extremely powerful energy contained within this golden blood.
If he absorbed the power of this Divine Demon essence blood, his body would definitely break through to the Battle Emperor Level.
At that time, his strength would rise to a terrifying extent.
"Don't be in a hurry to absorb it. The power within this essence blood is too strong. Once you absorb it, I'm afraid it will summon the Heavenly Tribulation, which, if I'm not mistaken, should be at least a Second Level Forbidden. Unless you want to destroy the entire city, don't absorb it here," the Wentian Demon Sovereign advised.
"A Heavenly Tribulation above the Second Level Forbidden?" Xu Nian wondered in surprise.
But it made sense—he had summoned a First Level Heavenly Prohibition the last time he broke through to the Battle Saint level.
Now, as he was about to break through to Battle Emperor, and it was a Divine Demon Refining Body breakthrough at that,
he would undoubtedly violate a Heavenly Prohibition, which would certainly bring about the Heavenly Tribulation.
With so many mortals in Rom City, calling down the Heavenly Tribulation could easily result in harming these people.
"It seems it's time to leave this place," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
He had been here for quite some time now.
Although he was sure that Xu Yu and the others were still alive,
he was still somewhat uneasy.
Thus, he wanted to visit the Southern Wilderness County to check on them.
And there was that old Taoist who had been hunting him.
If they crossed paths again, he would surely make him understand what it means to regret.
