Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang, using the Star Purification Profound Argumentation, soon ventured deep into the Black Jade Forest.

Since Xu Nian's Profound Argumentation Attribute energy wasn't particularly strong,

he couldn't drive back the entire forest in one go.

He could only rely on this faint glow to repel the Black Jade Trees within a hundred-meter radius, and then advance little by little.

Those Black Jade Trees sensed the Star Light emanating from Xu Nian and pulled up their roots from the ground, fleeing hurriedly.

Xu Nian found it rather amusing; these trees were almost too human-like.

However, Xu Nian's expression quickly changed because a large tree ahead of him not only didn't flee but instead swung its branches to whip at Xu Nian.

These branches were actually infused with extremely powerful Wood Attribute Profound Argumentation.

The branches, like writhing snakes, madly whipped towards Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang.

Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang hurriedly dodged, yet their evasive distance was extremely limited.

There were so many of those branches that Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang had nowhere to escape.

Meanwhile, the trees appeared to have gone mad, furiously whipping at Xu Nian.

Every branch carried an extraordinarily fearsome force.

"Bang!"

Xu Nian was accidentally struck by a branch, his body instantly sent flying backward, crashing directly into a large tree.

Breaking that Black Jade Tree in the process.

"Such powerful strength, this guy must be the Tree King." Xu Nian said, rubbing his chest and standing up.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The Black Jade Tree swung its branches again, whipping towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was suddenly infuriated.

Was this tree bullying him too much?

"Xu Nian, be careful, this is the Black Jade Tree King, its power is not weaker than an Early Stage Earth Immortal, and might even rival an Early Stage Earth Immortal with True Essence conversion," Sun Yuxiang called out.

Hearing this, Xu Nian's gaze hardened; it was indeed the Tree King.

But so what if it's the Tree King?

Let's see if it can withstand my sword.

Xu Nian sneered inwardly, and at the next moment, a King Jing Sword appeared in his hand.

The sharp sword unsheathed, slicing out a blade immediately.

In the next moment, the whipping branch aimed at Xu Nian got severed by the Sword Radiance.

Xu Nian's Dimension Cutting was already at the First Level Domain Peak, with Cutting Force reaching a terrifying degree.

Even if these trees were as hard as iron, they couldn't withstand his Cutting Force.

Moreover, his King Jing Sword was an Immortal Sword, sharper than any regular Top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

This Black Jade Tree King naturally couldn't block it.

"Roar..."

The branches severed, the Tree King let out an enraged howl.

The branches on its body all stretched out, whipping towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian's eyes were mocking, and the next moment, he leaped out.

"Clang!"

The sound of swords echoed as the Sword Light danced.

The branches flew about.

In just an instant, Xu Nian had cut down the entire Black Jade Tree King, leaving only a barren trunk.

The Tree King howled mournfully and tried to flee.

But Xu Nian wouldn't allow it, instantly swinging his sword to slice the Tree King into two halves.

With the Tree King cleaved in two, a ball of light hovered in the air.

Emitting strange energy fluctuations.

"What is this?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"This is the Heart of Grass and Wood; swallowing it, it's a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, enabling rapid Cultivation," Sun Yuxiang explained.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Nian immediately swallowed the orb of light in one gulp.

As the orb entered, Xu Nian noticeably felt his aura surge forward, starting to move towards the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Nian looked around at these Black Jade Trees with gleaming eyes.

In the next moment, he withdrew the Star Light from his hand.

His form darted like lightning.

Wherever he dashed past, the Black Jade Trees were all sliced in two.

And their Heart of Grass and Wood was directly absorbed into Xu Nian's belly.

When Xu Nian withdrew his glow, the trees thought of attacking Xu Nian again.

But upon seeing him frenziedly harvesting the lives of their comrades, their escape speed quickened.

Yet Xu Nian had no intention of letting them go.

He began a frenzied slaughter.

Next, Sun Yuxiang witnessed Xu Nian chasing these Black Jade Trees with his sword in madness.

And these Black Jade Trees looked as if they had seen a ghost, desperately fleeing for their lives.

"It can be done like this?" Sun Yuxiang was stupefied.

For the first time, she saw someone chasing the entire Black Jade Forest all over the place.

Soon, the number of Black Jade Trees cut down by Xu Nian's sword exceeded a thousand.

Basically, it was one cut one tree.

The rest had nearly all fled.

Xu Nian no longer intended to pursue because at this moment his True Essence was already boiling.

He was about to break through to the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, after Xu Nian digested these Hearts of Grass and Wood.

There was a change within his Dan Sea.

The entire Dan Sea emitted a cyan golden glow, the blooming lotus enveloped in Purple Gold Energy grew denser.

"Phew!"

Xu Nian exhaled, his breath also wreathed in Purple Gold Energy.

The breakthrough in Cultivation made him feel particularly relaxed.

Although the increase in power wasn't huge, there was still some progress.

If he were to encounter that youth with partially converted Immortal Essence previously, he'd have the confidence to defeat him within ten moves.

After all, his Cultivation breakthrough meant his True Essence within the body would be more abundant.

"Did you absorb the Heart of Grass and Wood so quickly?" Sun Yuxiang gave Xu Nian a shocked look.

Others required nearly a month to absorb one Heart of Grass and Wood.

Yet here this guy was, gulping down over a thousand in one sitting.

Everything seemed fine with him, and he directly progressed in Cultivation as well.

Judging by his appearance, he'd completely absorbed those thousand Hearts of Grass and Wood.

What a terrifying absorption speed!

Moreover, with a thousand Hearts of Grass and Wood, he only advanced one realm.

For others, that could elevate them several levels.

Now, she finally understood why this guy cultivated so quickly.

If he absorbed energy at such speeds and didn't Cultivate quickly, she reasoned, she might as well give up.

Of course, feeling indignant was one thing, Sun Yuxiang wouldn't probe too much.

Every cultivator has their secrets, after all.

Xu Nian's mysteries were none she'd investigate, nor could she.

"Let's keep going!" Xu Nian, after familiarizing himself with his Cultivation Realm, said to Sun Yuxiang.

Sun Yuxiang nodded.

But before they could proceed far, two figures flew towards them from the front.

Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang both knitted their brows, eyes full of vigilance.

The other party also appeared somewhat surprised to see Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang appear.

Sizing Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang up, their eyes finally settled on Sun Yuxiang's body, a gleam of greed flashing in them.

While they eyed Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang, Xu Nian also scrutinized them.

Soon, Xu Nian identified who they were.

These two were from the Chaos Sky Sect, one of the Four Great Sects.
