Chapter 1927: The Terrifying Elder
The three treasures radiated dazzling divine light.
Aside from those bronze fragments, the other two treasures were also extremely extraordinary.
One of them in particular delighted Xu Nian to no end.
"It’s actually a ten-million-year-old Dragon Breath Grass." Xu Nian grabbed the jade box in his hand.
Inside the jade box lay a single crystal-clear stalk of medicinal herb.
"Dragon Breath Grass? This thing seems to have an extremely powerful healing effect on soul injuries. Don’t tell me your soul is wounded?" Su Chan looked at Xu Nian in surprise and said.
"Not mine, someone important to me." Xu Nian replied with a smile.
After speaking, Xu Nian put the item away into the Chaos Divine Palace.
Su Chan nodded in sudden realization and did not say anything more.
Inside Xu Nian’s Chaos Divine Palace, the Nine Infant Avatar was at this moment holding the jade box as it came before Emperor Ye Tian.
"Master, this item should be of some use to your soul’s recovery, right?" Xu Nian said.
"Dragon Breath Grass? It will indeed help somewhat. After taking it, my soul should be able to recover to the Luo God Realm, but once I consume it, I’m afraid I’ll have to slumber for a period of time." Emperor Ye Tian was also stunned when he saw the Dragon Breath Grass.
"Master, just focus on recovering. By the time you wake up, I’ll likely already be in the Divine World." Xu Nian said.
"You must be careful of your Divine Tribulation." Emperor Ye Tian said.
"Your disciple understands." Xu Nian answered.
Hearing this, Emperor Ye Tian said no more, put away the Dragon Breath Grass, and then concealed his figure.
Xu Nian also exited the area where Emperor Ye Tian resided.
This region had been specially reserved by Xu Nian for Emperor Ye Tian; without Emperor Ye Tian’s permission, he wouldn’t even probe it.
Feeling that Emperor Ye Tian had already accepted the Dragon Breath Grass, a smile appeared on Xu Nian’s face.
Emperor Ye Tian had helped him so much; he could finally do something for Emperor Ye Tian.
If not for Emperor Ye Tian, Xu Nian simply could not have reached his current level.
At this moment, Xu Nian turned his gaze to the other treasure.
It was a piece of beast hide, and on it seemed to be recorded a mysterious concealment technique.
Once this concealment technique was activated, all aura would vanish and the body would disappear; even a Daluo God Level Expert would be unable to sense his existence.
This was actually quite useful for Xu Nian.
So Xu Nian unceremoniously put the beast hide away and tossed it to the Nine Infant Avatar for him to study.
"I’ve already obtained what I wanted. Are you still going to the fourth layer? I’ll go with you; this is my promise." Su Chan said.
"I’m going to the fourth layer. There’s something there that I want." Xu Nian said.
That Death Godhood was in the fourth layer; the purpose of his coming here was precisely for this God Level Death Godhood.
So the fourth layer was something he had to reach no matter what.
"Alright, then let’s go down." Su Chan said.
Xu Nian did not refuse; one more person meant one more share of strength.
Moreover, the fourth layer would be the most dangerous; he wasn’t sure he could make it through.
"Buzz!"
Very soon, the two of them arrived at the fourth layer.
However, the scene in the fourth layer left them both startled.
Because in the fourth layer, a person was sitting cross-legged at this very moment.
This person was actually still alive, and the aura emanating from him made both Xu Nian and Su Chan feel a chill run down their spines.
"Someone has finally come." The person opened his eyes, looked at Xu Nian and Su Chan, and smiled.
It was an old man, with a kindly-looking smile on his face.
But that smile, in the eyes of Xu Nian and Su Chan, was nothing but terrifying.
"Senior, you are..." Xu Nian stepped forward and asked.
He could be sure that this expert before him was a God Level Expert. Although his God Power was also suppressed, the aura on his body was still extremely terrifying. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao should be extremely high.
"Haha, I am a servant left here by my master to guard his tomb. My master left me here precisely to protect his tomb. Any intruder will be left alive not a single one—of course, if you can kill me, then my master’s final legacy will belong to you." The old man said with a smile.
Xu Nian and Su Chan were both stunned.
The tomb owner’s servant?
Then how long had this person been living here?
At least tens of millions of years, right?
How had he endured such a long time?
"Are you ready?" The old man said with a smile.
"Senior, please make your move." Xu Nian said, eyes firm.
Since only by killing this person could he obtain the inheritance, this battle was absolutely unavoidable.
The old man smiled faintly upon hearing this.
The next instant, his figure strangely appeared in front of Xu Nian.
"What?"
Xu Nian was suddenly shocked.
How could this old man’s speed be so fast?
"Bang!"
Before Xu Nian could react, the old man’s palm had already slammed onto his chest.
In that instant, Xu Nian felt as if his entire body was about to explode.
One had to know that Xu Nian’s true body’s physical strength had already reached the level of a Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact.
Yet under a single palm from this old man, there were actually signs of him being torn apart. It was clear just how terrifying the power of this strike was.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted wildly from Xu Nian’s mouth as his body was sent flying, crashing into the wall.
"So strong, Fourth-level Heavenly Dao?" Xu Nian immediately made a judgment in his heart.
The old man before him controlled the Wind Attribute Heavenly Dao Truth, and it had already reached the Fourth-level Heavenly Dao.
With such terrifying strength, killing him was as easy as flipping a hand.
"Fourth-level Heavenly Dao?" Su Chan was also greatly shocked, and the long spear in her hand instantly shot forth.
God Power fused with Ninth Level Gold Attribute Dao Truth; with one thrust, the spear radiance condensed to the extreme.
"Buzz!"
However, the old man merely stretched out a hand, and Su Chan’s attack was directly blocked.
That terrifying spear radiance couldn’t advance even an inch.
"Middle Stage of God? Not bad, but it’s a pity you haven’t broken through to the Heavenly Dao." The old man smiled faintly.
His palm suddenly erupted with Heavenly Dao Power.
The long spear in Su Chan’s hand instantly shattered, and the broken spear shaft, like sharp swords, directly pierced through various parts of Su Chan’s body, nailing her to the wall.
With a full seven wounds, Su Chan was heavily injured in an instant.
Her gaze toward the old man became incomparably sharp.
"Wind Extreme, Extreme Wind Blade!"
Xu Nian held the God King Sword and slashed out once more.
This slash fused Divine Power with Nine Levels of Wind Attribute Dao Truth; azure sword radiance swept out in an instant, cleaving toward the old man.
"Wind Extreme, Great Tao Truth Ninth Level? Kid, not bad. Unfortunately, before the Heavenly Dao, your power is still far too weak." The old man chuckled softly.
He surged Heavenly Dao Power in his hand, directly forming a Wind Shield.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian’s attack crashed into the Wind Shield and was actually blocked outright.
Xu Nian’s expression changed instantly.
Was Fourth-level Heavenly Dao really this strong?
Without the aid of Divine Power and God Power, he could still easily block that strike of his?
If this old man’s cultivation wasn’t sealed, wouldn’t he be even more terrifying?
"Looks like this battle is going to be a tough one." Xu Nian muttered to himself.
For a moment, his heart grew incomparably heavy.
