Divine King of Honour

Mo Tian had never expected to die here.

When he turned to look behind him, what he saw was a golden skeleton.

His essence blood was being voraciously absorbed by the golden skeleton until there was nothing left.

Soon after, Mo Tian's entire body shriveled up.

King Yan contemptuously tossed Mo Tian's body into the sea.

He then quickly returned to Xu Nian's side.

And stood still next to Xu Nian.

The people around stared at the golden skeleton, their eyes filled with shock and horror.

It was clear at a glance that this golden skeleton was an evil object.

What they hadn't expected was that the aura emanating from the golden skeleton was that of a One-star Battle Emperor.

"Brother Xu Nian, is this skeleton something you've raised?" Ji Tianlong asked with some surprise, pointing at the skeleton.

"Indeed, I discovered it in a secret realm. Later, I felt it was quite exceptional, so I decided to keep it by my side. I've given it the name Netherworld King!" Xu Nian answered with a smile.

The surrounding people were astounded by Xu Nian's words.

Xu Nian spoke lightly, but they viewed the matter as extraordinary.

An evil being at the One-star Battle Emperor level, daring to keep such a creature by one's side, was truly not something an ordinary person could manage.

After all, having such an evil object by one's side could diminish one's fortune.

And then there was the name.

Netherworld King!

Only someone incredibly bold would dare to choose such a name.

"Master, I wish to enter the seabed to hunt Demon Beasts and consume more blood. That waste just now was too pathetic," the Netherworld King spoke up at that moment.

The people around were at a loss for words.

A Fifth-star Battle Saint referred to as waste by the skeleton.

"Go ahead!" Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

Seeing Xu Nian's consent, the Netherworld King's expression brightened.

Then, with a grin of his gleaming teeth, he leapt into the sea.

Everyone who saw the Netherworld King's smile felt a chill run down their spine.

A skeleton's smile, no matter how nice, couldn't possibly be pleasant.

Following the Netherworld King's departure, the disturbance also faded away.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Xu Nian went to the bow of the ship with Ji Tiancheng.

The Black Dragon Ship continued its rapid journey towards Penglai Island.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld King was hunting Demon Beasts near the Black Dragon Ship, consuming powerful essence blood to increase his strength.

"Brother Xu Nian, with such high-level cultivation, you must not be intending to go to Penglai Island to seek a mentor and learn, right?" Ji Tianlong suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.

Xu Nian smiled faintly.

He knew that once his cultivation was revealed, his true purpose wouldn't be far from being exposed as well.

Ji Tianlong, truly an old hand in the world, had immediately sensed that there was an ulterior motive in Xu Nian's visit.

"Brother Ji, since you've asked, I'll be straightforward. My visit to Penglai Island indeed has another purpose—I am seeking medicine," Xu Nian declared earnestly.

"Seek medicine? What kind of medicine? Although Penglai is abundant in spiritual energy and spiritual medicines, it still falls a bit short compared to the continent. Basically, all the medicines available on Penglai Island can also be found on the continent," Ji Tianlong said in astonishment.

Xu Nian continued to explain, "I know that ordinary spiritual medicines can generally be found on the Tianhen Continent, but what I'm seeking this time is not a simple spiritual medicine. It's a type of spiritual medicine that can resurrect the dead and mend bones. This kind of spiritual medicine is only available on another continent. I have a brother who has been injured, and I need either a low-grade spirit pill or this precious spiritual medicine. I've heard that Penglai Island has it, so I've come here specifically to seek it."

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, Ji Tianlong's brows gradually knitted together.

Xu Nian suddenly had a bad premonition and hastily asked, "Don't you have it on the island?"

"Ah!" Ji Tianlong sighed and said, "The spiritual medicine you speak of, the kind that can resurrect the dead and mend bones, truly we do not have on Penglai Island. However, there is one low-grade spirit pill, indeed a healing-type pill, but…"

"As long as Penglai Island is willing to give me this medicine, I am willing to do anything," Xu Nian said, his face immediately showing an extremely excited expression upon hearing that there actually was a low-grade spirit pill on Penglai Island.

However, Ji Tianlong shook his head.

"Brother Xu, if you truly came seeking medicine, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you. Now, that low-grade spirit pill is no longer on the island. Otherwise, I could have still asked the Sect Leader to have mercy on you. But that pill was stolen more than a decade ago; otherwise, the Sect Leader would have used it to treat my Heart Loss Curse long ago," Ji Tianlong said.

"Stolen? By whom?" Xu Nian asked urgently.

He never expected that the medicine from Penglai would be stolen. With the immense power of Penglai Island, who could have possibly stolen the medicine from there? Could it be someone from that continent? If that were the case, it would really be bad.

"It was taken by the people from Sea King Palace. In fact, within this part of the East Sea, the truly vast power is not Penglai, but the Sea Demon forces of the East Sea region, the Sea King Palace," Ji Tianlong said.

"Sea King Palace? Undersea demon cultivation forces?" Xu Nian was stunned. This was the first time he was hearing of this power.

"That's right, the Sea King Palace itself. The Palace Master of Sea King Palace is an extremely powerful sea demon who emerged from the Forbidden Seas. It's said his true form is a Dark Tiger-headed Whale, and his strength is unknown to all. His subordinates include six Emperor Level Demon Beasts, four of which are high-level Emperor Level strong men with ranks over five stars. That's why even we in Penglai have to give them some respect, and it was the Palace Master of the Sea King Palace who took that low-grade spirit pill," Ji Tianlong said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's brows tightened. According to what Ji Tianlong said, to obtain the low-grade spirit pill, he would have to go to the Sea King Palace. And the strength of the Palace Master of Sea King Palace might well surpass the Battle Emperor Level. Such a strong man, Xu Nian trying to obtain medicine from him, would undoubtedly be a pipe dream, and he might even lose his life.

"Brother Xu Nian, I advise you to give up. That Dark Tiger-headed Whale is extremely ferocious and looks down on human cultivators, almost killing on sight. It's really not easy to take the pill from his hands. If it wasn't for the super formation and the exceptional strength of our Sect Leader, we in Penglai would have been exterminated by Sea King Palace long ago," Ji Tianlong said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's frown deepened. However, to make him give up was simply impossible. He absolutely couldn't just watch Xu Yu die. So no matter how difficult it was, he had to try.

"Hum!" However, at this moment, a strong disturbance came from the sea's surface. Then Xu Nian saw a large group of Big-headed Tiger Shark Demonic Beasts circling around, surrounding the Black Dragon Ship. There were at least a hundred of these Tiger Shark monsters.

"What's going on?" Captain An Long also rushed out of the cabin, looking around in surprise.

"Whoosh!" The disciples of Penglai and Feng Chenzi also ran out.

"Not good, it's people from Sea King Palace!" At that moment, Ji Tianlong suddenly exclaimed. Upon hearing this, the people of Penglai Island were all shocked, their expressions dramatically changing.
