Divine King of Honour-Chapter 661: The Deadline Approaches

"Rise!"

Xu Nian immediately responded.

"Thank you, Lord Xu Nian!" the crowd replied in unison.

They then stood alongside the team from the Dragon God Palace, forming a massive troop.

"Big brother!"

"Boss!"

Black Wind and the Bull Demon King also came over, both visibly excited.

Xu Nian nodded his approval.

Unexpectedly, under the guidance of the Beast God, these two fellows had also broken through to the Battle Emperor Realm.

With Ji Tianlong included, they had a total of nine Battle Emperors on their side.

It was rare for a major force to have even one Battle Emperor on ordinary days.

The appearance of nine Battle Emperors at once was quite the spectacle.

"Let's move out!"

Following Xu Nian's command,

the army of Demon Kings and Saints instantly rose from the ground.

Seventy Holy Level experts, seven hundred Marquis Level experts.

They formed a neatly arranged troop, advancing through the sky.

Leading them were nine Emperor-level strong men.

Such a vast troop sweeping across the sky.

The people in the city below were all stunned to see this scene.

Commoners and low-level cultivators, who hardly saw Marquis Level experts, were left speechless by such a shocking sight.

So many powerful beings flying through the sky.

The aura they emitted caused the houses to tremble violently.

For those commoners,

this scene would be unforgettable in their lifetime.

An army formed by Marquis Level experts.

What kind of powerful force must one possess to have such existence?

After Xu Nian led the Demon Beast army into the Tianhen Continent,

they advanced directly towards the west,

heading for the Artifact Refining Sect of West Shu County.

Throughout the journey, everyone was astounded by the scene.

Not only were the low-level cultivators shocked.

Even some Battle Kings, Battle Saints, and reclusive Battle Emperor experts were stunned by the sight.

They all wanted to know.

Which power could possibly possess such tremendous energy?

And whom were they going to fight against?

When they noticed that the leader of the group was a young man, their surprise turned to disbelief.

"Isn't that the Genius Battle Emperor Xu Nian?"

"It's him, how does he have such a massive force?"

…

Some recognized the leading young man as Xu Nian.

Thus, the entire Tianhen Empire was like a pot set to boil.

During this time, the empire had already issued a warrant to absolutely subdue Xu Nian.

Yet, Xu Nian had disappeared without a trace.

They thought Xu Nian had been so frightened that he had gone into hiding.

I never expected that Xu Nian would return again.

And with his return, he brought such a powerful army.

Could it be that he's planning a decisive battle with the Imperial Family?

Suddenly, the entire empire burst into an uproar.

The news of Xu Nian returning with a terrifying army of powerful warriors spread quickly from one to ten, ten to a hundred.

Like a pot exploding.

It spread throughout the entire empire in an instant.

Xu Nian, leading this enormous army,

Like a long spear, directly targeted the heartland of the continent.

...

Outside the Artifact Refining Sect.

A gigantic warship was hovering above the Artifact Refining Sect.

At this moment, there were quite a few people standing on the warship.

These people came from various forces.

Leading them was a Nine-star War Emperor Level strong man.

Behind him followed four Battle Emperor Level strong men.

These four Battle Emperor strong men were from the Four Great Families.

Besides these four Battle Emperor Level strong men,

There were also ten or so Battle Saints and nearly a hundred Battle King Level strong men following them.

One could say that the core strength of the Four Great Families was all here.

In addition to them, there were also some Battle Saints and Battle Kings from the Wuji Sect and the Tianjian Sect.

Both the Wuji Sect Master and the Tianjian Sect Master were notably among them.

They, being at the peak of Battle Saints, faced the Battle Emperor Level strong men.

They didn't dare act recklessly.

This time, the Xu Family and the Leng Family originally did not want to get involved in this expedition.

But the pressure from the Imperial Family was too great.

They had no choice but to join.

After all, with just this old man present,

He could annihilate their families.

They had truly not expected,

That the Imperial Family would dispatch him this time.

The infamous Red Bright Fire Emperor, Xing Tu, from thirty years ago—

A executioner who once eradicated a sect single-handedly.

These thirty years he vanished from sight, only to have submitted to the Imperial Family.

Now, thirty years later, he reappeared in the martial world.

All for the purpose of subjugating Xu Nian.

Thus, facing such a ruthless and formidable superpower,

The Four Great Families had no choice but to submit,

For this man was one to act on his word.

As for the Wuji Sect and the Tianjian Sect, there's even less need to say.

A sect that didn't even have a Battle Emperor,

How could they dare to utter a word of refusal?

So, when they learned that the Artifact Refining Sect actually denied Xing Tu's recruitment, they all thought the Artifact Refining Sect had gone mad.

For the sake of a sect master who was nothing,

To actually choose to stand against Xing Tu and the Imperial Family.

The seven-day period was about to expire.

When the sun sets later, it would be the time for the Artifact Refining Sect's destruction.

"Humph, this little Artifact Refining Sect is really keeping its cool; the sun is almost setting, yet they've still not come out to bow. Do they really intend to defy us to the end?" a Four-star Battle Emperor from the Ye Family disdainfully said.

Their Ye Family had so many geniuses killed by Xu Nian.

The Artifact Refining Sect also had countless ties with Xu Nian.

Naturally, they couldn't wait for the Artifact Refining Sect to be eradicated.

"Such rebels, not worth lamenting over, all under the heavens are the emperor's lands. The Artifact Refining Sect and that Xu Nian are both disloyal traitors, deserving death without mercy," an Emperor-level strong man from the Fang Family said similarly.

While speaking, there was hatred in his voice.

But his eyes, intentionally or not, glanced towards the old man in front of him.

From beginning to end, the old man stood with his hands behind his back.

His demeanor was still as he silently watched the sun slowly set behind the mountains.

However, as the sun gradually set,

His smile, cold and chilling, became increasingly clear.

The seven days he had decreed were about to come.

At the same time, inside the Artifact Refining Sect, chaos had completely erupted.
