Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1383: Shrinking Ground

Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: Shrinking Ground
Nether Hai never expected that Xu Nian’s power was so strong.
Luoxian Realm cultivation, First-grade Law.
How terrifying is this power?
How long has it been since Xu Nian ascended, and yet he is already so terrifying.
If given time to grow, wouldn’t he become an existence akin to an Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, or even Immortal Emperor in the future?
Even Jiang Shengtian only comprehended the Second Grade Law within their sect.
And in the entire Fuyao Sect, those who could comprehend the First-grade Law were definitely no more than three.
It’s conceivable how frightening it is that Xu Nian could reach such cultivation.
"Senior Nether Hai, how’s my power?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"No... I wouldn’t dare, Xu Nian... No, Senior Xu, you are indeed my senior," Nether Hai quickly replied.
Though extremely unwilling, Xu Nian’s strength could indeed kill him with ease.
He finally understood that Xu Nian calling him senior was actually to disgust him.
Although Qin Ling guessed Xu Nian’s strength had reached the Luoxian Realm, she was still somewhat surprised when Xu Nian truly displayed it.
Moreover, it was Xu Nian’s talent in comprehension that was truly impressive.
Xu Nian looked at Nether Hai’s humble appearance, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
In the past, Nether Hai never took him seriously, even when he achieved first place in the Immortal Order Competition.
In his eyes, he was merely a mortal.
But now, that once high and mighty Immortal was already powerless before him.
"In the Cultivation World, didn’t you intend to kill me before?" Xu Nian asked with a cold smile.
Nether Hai broke into a sweat upon hearing this.
In the Mortal World, he indeed intended to kill Xu Nian.
If Xu Nian wanted revenge now, he would surely die, and not even Qin Ling could stop it.
"Senior Xu, Immortal Xu, I really didn’t mean it," Nether Hai hastily pleaded for mercy.
"Xu Nian, although I don’t know the grudge between you and Nether Hai, could you spare him?" Qin Ling also pleaded.
"I can spare him, but I want him to do something for me," Xu Nian said with a cold smile.
Now that Nether Hai was trapped in Xianjue Mountain, even without Xu Nian taking action, he probably wouldn’t live long.
So whether Xu Nian killed him or not was the same.
"What is it? I’ll definitely do it if I can!" Nether Hai’s eyes lit up as he promptly said.
Xu Nian smiled slightly.
"Alright, then collect at least a hundred Immortal Crystal Stones for me, and I’ll spare you," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Immortal Crystal Stones could rapidly enhance his cultivation.
Given the opportunity, he couldn’t waste it.
But intercepting those swiftly flying Immortal Crystal Stones wasn’t an easy task.
"A hundred?" Nether Hai was stunned.
Catching even one of those Immortal Crystal Stones was difficult, aiming for a hundred was as hard as climbing to heaven.
"Either die or work, your choice," Xu Nian sneered.
Nether Hai’s heart was filled with anger.
This damn guy, he wanted him to work for free!
But he had no choice. With Xu Nian’s strength, no one could stop him.
"Alright, I’ll work!" Nether Hai said helplessly.
He could only brace himself to do it.
"I’ll give you a year," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"A year?" Nether Hai was speechless.
Collecting a hundred Immortal Crystal Stones in a year would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Qin Ling said nothing, knowing it was already generous for Xu Nian to spare Nether Hai’s life.
In the following time, Xu Nian focused most of his energy on comprehending the Earth Attribute.
Every while, Nether Hai would bring him an Immortal Crystal Stone.
And Xu Nian’s rapid absorption significantly increased his strength.
However, breaking through to the Luoxian Realm Middle Stage still required time.
After all, reaching the Luoxian Realm, the amount of Immortal Essence required for a breakthrough was immense.
Otherwise, those Immortals wouldn’t need hundreds or even thousands of years to progress one level.
A year passed quickly.
During that year, Nether Hai was covered in bruises.
To intercept those Immortal Crystal Stones, he almost exhausted all his Immortal Artifacts.
He was even injured multiple times by the terrifying energy storm.
But to survive, he had no choice.
Yet, after a year, he hadn’t collected even eighty of them.
Thus, he had to continue working for Xu Nian.
And after absorbing eighty Immortal Crystal Stones, Xu Nian finally broke through to the Luoxian Realm Middle Stage.
Of course, this wasn’t the important part; the important thing was that Xu Nian’s control over the Earth Attribute became clearer.
Especially with every energy storm that came.
Xu Nian would carefully observe the energy storm.
He eventually discovered that this energy also seemed to be a kind of Earth Attribute energy, but with peculiar energy fluctuations.
Not only that, but Xu Nian also found that these energy fluctuations seemed capable of directly destroying the body’s origin cells, causing the cells to collapse.
According to Xu Nian’s idea, if he could integrate this energy into his Black Hole Law,
then the power unleashed by his Black Hole Law could definitely reach another level.
"It seems that to truly comprehend these energy fluctuations, I’ll have to enter the core," Xu Nian thought to himself.
He already planned to explore that core area.
"Xu Nian, why do I feel that your power has improved a lot this year?" Qin Ling approached and asked in surprise.
This year, she had been searching for a way out.
But ultimately failed each time.
She discovered Xu Nian had been cultivating this entire year.
And it seemed Xu Nian had become even more inscrutable.
She couldn’t believe that a year’s cultivation could lead to such drastic changes.
"Actually, it’s nothing, just a bit deeper understanding, but I’m still a bit away from the Middle Stage," Xu Nian smiled bitterly.
The comprehension of the law was truly too difficult.
"What do you plan to do next? Do you intend to cultivate here until ascension?" Qin Ling asked, frowning.
"I plan to explore the core area; I feel only there can the secrets of Xianjue Mountain be unraveled," Xu Nian said.
Qin Ling nodded in agreement.
This year, she found the same point while searching for a way out.
No matter how she tried, she couldn’t escape the mist.
It seemed some power was pulling her, keeping her at a standstill.
If she couldn’t grasp this power, she would never be able to leave.
"But the closer you get to the center, the harder it is to withstand the energy storm," Qin Ling said.
"Yes, that’s why I’ve been studying speed," Xu Nian said with a smile.
After speaking, Xu Nian took a step forward.
With one step, he was already a thousand feet away.
With another step, he was at the edge of Xianjue Mountain Valley.
"Shrinking Ground?" Qin Ling exclaimed in surprise.
She hadn’t expected Xu Nian to master such a Divine Skill.
With such a skill, Xu Nian could almost come and go freely within Xianjue Mountain.
