Divine King of Honour

A foot stomped down.

Xu Nian's figure reappeared in the air.

Over the past month, his body had been under the augmentation of two hundred times gravity.

Once he freed himself from the gravity binding,

he felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Now his body felt as light as a feather.

Coupled with the assistance of his Spiritual Energy and Divine Demon Gang Qi,

even without reaching the Saint Realm, in terms of speed and strength alone,

not even a One-star Saint might be able to catch up to him.

Such was the advantage of gravity training.

However, wanting to kill a One-star Saint, especially one who had cultivated the Demon Technique, was not so easy.

Therefore, after stepping down, Xu Nian swiftly darted to one side,

just to avoid giving the old demon a chance to counterattack.

"Boom!"

As expected, a loud explosion followed.

A strong red power burst forth from the old demon's body.

This power was saturated with a thick bloodthirst, and its aura was terrifyingly fearsome.

From afar, everyone except for the Bull Demon King felt as if they had fallen into the abyss of hell,

as if a peerless demon was about to emerge before their eyes.

"Boy, it seems I have truly underestimated you. A young Marquis Peak Realm, possessing the strength to surpass a One-star Saint, has indeed surprised me immensely," the old demon crawled out of the crater.

His blood-colored robes were filthy, tattered, and torn.

The hair previously bound by a hairpin had become disheveled, wildly dancing under the terrifying momentum.

His eyes had turned completely blood-colored, staring dead at Xu Nian, filled with fierce killing intent.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian's mouth still wore a faint, light smile.

If he said this elderly person had no real strength, he wouldn't believe it.

Now, finally willing to unleash it,

it was undeniable that the power he emitted was indeed terrifying.

"Hum!"

A wave of fluctuation came, and the old man's fingernails began to grow.

Thick blood power swirled around his nails.

His entire aura became even more eerie and ominous.

"You've forced my hand, boy. To die under my Hell Blood Claw is also a kind of honor for you," the old demon roared loudly.

Then, with a flash, he appeared in front of Xu Nian, his claw reaching out for him in mid-air.

The Blood Claw was enveloped in a thick blood power.

Its speed was incredibly fast.

With a single swipe, it seemed as though even the void was torn apart by his claw.

Xu Nian dared not be negligent, quickly splitting his body into three.

He launched his Dark Third-Level Avatar to surround and attack the old man.

Nevertheless, a cold smile appeared on the old man's face.

His hands transformed, and the Blood Claw moved swiftly.

He shattered one of Xu Nian's Dark Avatars with a strike.

Xu Nian and another clone gained no advantage, instead being suppressed and beaten by the old demon.

"Puchi!"

Another vicious Blood Claw struck, and the last Shadow Clone was also shattered.

Before Xu Nian's true self could counterattack,

the Blood Claw of the old demon's other hand had already reached Xu Nian's true self.

A claw directly gripped Xu Nian's chest.

The clothes were torn apart, and Xu Nian was instantly sent flying.

Looking at his chest, the Blood-colored Dragon Scale had five deep claw marks.

The Dragon Scale was actually penetrated.

Although Xu Nian's Dragon Scale was not as terrifying as the Scale Armor of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast,

it was comparable in hardness to Meteorite Iron.

Yet, under the old man's Blood Claw, it was so easily shattered.

If not for Xu Nian hastily condensing the Dragon Scale just now, it would not have been just the Dragon Scale that had been ripped open.

```

It was a whole chunk of flesh torn from his chest.

"I absolutely can't let his claws touch me, or, even if I don't die, I'll be gravely injured," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

The old demon before him was even more formidable than he had imagined.

No wonder he had never taken the Bull Demon King seriously.

With such strength, the Bull Demon King would probably be killed instantly in front of him.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a Blood Claw rapidly reached out from the Void.

It viciously aimed for his head.

If caught, his entire head would likely be ripped apart.

"It seems I have no choice but to get serious," a sharp light surged in Xu Nian's eyes.

Then, a powerful and invisible fluctuation rippled out from around him.

"Boom!"

A loud noise reverberated.

A huge hand suddenly extended out of the soil below.

It instantly grasped the old demon.

And Xu Nian took advantage of the appearance of the giant hand to dodge the old demon's Blood Claw attack.

"Eh, what kind of move is this!"

Xia Lengling and the others watching from a distance were stunned.

The battle between these two was completely beyond their imagination.

Looking at the giant hand that suddenly emerged from the soil, they were all perplexed.

Even the Bull Demon King was puzzled; this was the first time he had seen such a technique.

Xu Nian swiftly retreated.

Seeing the old demon firmly caught in the grip of the giant hand, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Indeed, this giant hand was the result of what Xu Nian had comprehended in the past month.

The manifestation of the Power of Earth!

Using the Power of Earth to control the ground beneath his feet for an attack.

However, he had only scratched the surface of its understanding.

He was still far from reaching the threshold of the Earth Power Profound Argumentation.

Of course, merely scratching the surface was enough to stop the old man temporarily.

But it wouldn't hold him for long.

"Buzz!"

A wave of vibration passed through.

The hand formed by the Power of Earth crumbled to pieces.

The old demon's figure was revealed once again.

The old demon didn't rush to attack this time, but stared intently at Xu Nian.

"I didn't expect you to have reached such a high level of understanding on the path to the Realm, almost touching the threshold of Profound Argumentation. Fortunately, you haven't grasped the true Profound Argumentation, otherwise, this hand could have simply crushed me," the old demon exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Nian revealed a wry smile.

The old demon was right.

If his understanding had been a bit more profound,

The hand made from the soil just now could have indeed crushed the old demon to death.

However, for a first attempt, Xu Nian was already quite satisfied.

"Young man, your understanding of the Power of Earth is merely superficial; it's impossible for you to kill me with that. If you have no other tricks up your sleeve, I'm afraid today will be your end," the old demon said with a sneer.

His gaze became even more sinister.

Xu Nian, however, merely smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, I do have other abilities."

With that, an Immortal Sword appeared in Xu Nian's hand.

He hadn't made much progress with the Earth Power Profound Argumentation, but don't forget, he had also been comprehending the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation during this period.

This was his real trump card.

The old demon in the sky frowned deeply upon hearing this.

This youth was indeed unpredictable.

A young man possessed a combat power that rivaled that of someone at the Peak of One-star Saint, and was even close to touching the threshold of Profound Argumentation.

Now, who knew what other surprising abilities this youth would unveil.

Xia Bingling and the others around were also tense; the development of the battle had completely exceeded their expectations.

They did not know whether Xu Nian could defeat this old demon.
