Divine King of Honour

In those days, Xia Tianhen had relied on the power of the Dragon Vein to achieve the title of Supreme Battle Emperor.

But the Dragon Veins were suppressed by Emperor Bai, who also severed the connection between Xia Tianhen and the Dragon Veins.

As a result, Xia Tianhen's natural foundation was compromised, and he could no longer advance in cultivation.

Of course, all of this came at the cost of Emperor Bai's own life.

Xia Tianhen had killed Emperor Bai's wife and child, and in return, Emperor Bai cursed him with a thousand years without a breakthrough.

This shows how deep their enmity really was.

"Is your goal, then, to find someone to kill this Xia Tianhen?" Xu Nian asked.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Bai burst into laughter.

"That's right. Now that a thousand years have passed, my restrictions have begun to loosen. I believe that old fellow Xia Tianhen won't let things rest, so I need someone with the Purple Star Life Chart to take over this Dragon Vein and help me kill that old fellow, Xia Tianhen," Emperor Bai's voice sounded.

Xu Nian had guessed Emperor Bai's intention but was still immensely shocked.

Xia Tianhen was the emperor of the Tianhen Empire.

The current Emperor Tianhen didn't even know how many generations had descended from Xia Tianhen.

How easy could it be to kill Xia Tianhen?

Plus, the Tianhen Empire, without the Dragon Vein's fortune, hadn't changed rulers in a thousand years.

This shows just how powerful the Tianhen Empire really is.

And how did Emperor Bai know he possessed the Purple Star Life Chart, and why did he know that he would be the one to come here?

"Young man, you don't need to think too much. From the moment you entered the Misty Forest, I've been watching you. Eventually, I determined that you were the right candidate. You possess great talent, a decisive nature, and the Purple Star Life Chart. Even if you couldn't have reached here by your own strength, I would have helped you get here," Emperor Bai declared.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was momentarily speechless.

If he had known that Emperor Bai would help him, why had he bothered exerting so much effort?

Besides, even if Xia Zhenglei had ultimately defeated him and entered this Dragon Nest Main Hall, Emperor Bai probably wouldn't have let him leave alive.

After all, he was a descendant of Xia Tianhen.

"Why do you think I would help you?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

Emperor Bai burst into loud laughter upon hearing this, "Haha, because you just killed that Xia Zhenglei. You and the Tianhen Empire are irreconcilable enemies. Since we share a common enemy, why would I worry that you won't help me?"

With those words, Xu Nian finally understood why Emperor Bai harbored such hatred towards the Xia family.

Yet, he had left him until the last.

Giving him the Spirit Talisman Key was also to intensify his conflict with Xia Zhenglei, ensuring he killed Xia Zhenglei with his own hands.

Indeed, old ginger is spicier!

It must be said, Emperor Bai truly was a cunning fox.

"Young man, I have said all I need to say. Just agree to help me kill Xia Tianhen, and I will help you subdue this Dragon Vein. You should know it would be difficult for you to tame it with your strength alone," Emperor Bai said with a cold laugh.

Xu Nian indeed smiled.

"Are you really so confident? That I can't subdue it?" Xu Nian smiled faintly.

He then took a step forward, and the might of the Nine Dragons Supreme Body was instantly unleashed.

The Golden Dragon of the Dragon Vein, which had been dormant, suddenly opened its eyes and let out a roar, its massive body soaring into the sky.

The massive body circled above Xu Nian's head.

"What, you have this kind of constitution? How is that possible?" Emperor Bai, seeing the aura emanating from Xu Nian, also showed a look of immense surprise on his face.

Xu Nian just laughed lightly.

It seemed that Emperor Bai had not witnessed his earlier encounter with the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

Emperor Bai's expression shifted, for his true form was that of a Bai Yü Jiaolong.

Although he was already dead, the soul mark he left behind still felt the oppressive aura emanating from Xu Nian.

So the moment Xu Nian released his aura, he knew that Xu Nian possessed that legendary physique.

A physique even they, the Dragon Clan, feared.

"Do you still think I can't subdue this dragon vein?" Xu Nian asked with a cold laugh.

Though not a true dragon, the dragon vein possessed dragon might and naturally felt oppressed by Xu Nian's formidable presence.

At that moment, the dragon vein looked at Xu Nian with eyes full of fear.

"I truly miscalculated," Emperor Bai sighed. "I never imagined you had such a legendary physique. Since you do, I have no right to command you."

Xu Nian's Nine Dragons Supreme Body represented the most supreme bloodline, an incredibly noble existence.

He was just a lesser dragon in the Dragon Clan.

How could he dare offend Xu Nian or ask Xu Nian to work for him?

They, the Demon Clan, held bloodlines in the highest regard.

Hearing this, Xu Nian indeed smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you can't help me, if there's a chance, I will still try to kill Xia Tianhen for you. But I cannot make you a promise, I can only say I'll do my best."

"Really?" Emperor Bai's eyes suddenly brightened.

Xu Nian smiled and nodded.

"I am Emperor Bai, thank you, my lord!" Emperor Bai kneeled on one knee, his expression filled with excitement.

He believed Xu Nian would not lie.

And someone with such a bloodline, not to mention having the dragon vein,

Even without the dragon vein, given time to grow, he could never be compared to a mere Emperor Tianhen.

"Stand up, after all, you are still my elder. But I have a question, what exactly does this dragon vein do, and why does everyone fight over it?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

Although he knew that whoever obtained the dragon vein would rule the world,

Exactly how did it work?

"My lord may not know, the dragon vein is born from the fortune of heaven and earth. Once you obtain the dragon vein, your cultivation speed including your comprehension of the world will reach an incredibly terrifying level, and under this enhancement, your cultivation speed will absolutely skyrocket," Emperor Bai explained.

Xu Nian was stunned.

He remembered when he had given the fortune-containing Jade Seal to Yann Xi.

Her cultivation speed reached a terrifying level.

Though part of it was due to her own curse, it was undeniably also boosted by the fortune.

"Is there more? It can't just increase cultivation speed, right?" Xu Nian asked.

If that was all, Emperor Bai wouldn't have gone to great lengths to compete for it.

"Correct, my lord is indeed wise. Apart from accelerating cultivation, the dragon vein also has a huge function—to break through the Battle Emperor Shackle," Emperor Bai revealed.

"Break through the Battle Emperor Shackle?" Xu Nian was stunned.

He knew that there were realms above the Battle Emperor.

But he was not very clear on the specifics, despite having asked the Yetian God Emperor many times.

Yet the Yetian God Emperor never divulged this.

In this land, there had never been rumors of realms above the Battle Emperor.

What exactly the realm above Battle Emperor was remained a mystery.

Now Emperor Bai claiming that the dragon vein could help break through the Battle Emperor's shackle surprised Xu Nian.

"That's right. My lord may not be aware that, for some reason in this world, reaching the Battle Emperor is already the peak, as though a restriction has been placed, and no matter how one cultivates, it's impossible to break through to a realm above the Battle Emperor. This is also why I said Xia Tianhen could not possibly break through to a realm above the Battle Emperor. To break through the Battle Emperor realm, there are only two methods," Emperor Bai said.

"Which two?" Xu Nian asked, shocked.
