Chapter 2007: Chapter 2007: Young Friend Xu Nian
In the time that followed, Xu Nian didn’t rush to tell Beichen Divine King about the Divine Soul Secret Technique in the painting.
Instead, he had his true body remain in the Chaos Divine Palace, repeatedly attempting to cultivate this GodsLevel Sword Technique.
Although Xu Nian had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique before, which made his control over the GodsLevel Sword Technique much more fluid and natural,
because this GodsLevel Sword Technique was simply too profound, even for Xu Nian it was extremely hard to fully grasp.
At first, Xu Nian could only hammer his Divine Soul five hundred times; after five hundred times, his Divine Soul Power would explode apart.
After all, the Divine Soul Power was ultimately extremely fragile; how could it endure such hammering?
However, as Xu Nian continued to cultivate, his hammering of the Divine Soul Power also grew stronger.
After three hundred years, his Divine Soul Power was already able to withstand ten thousand strikes.
After five hundred years, his Divine Soul Power could reach thirty thousand strikes.
After eight hundred years, his Divine Soul Power could already be hammered fifty thousand times.
After a thousand years of Soul Slaying, Xu Nian’s Divine Soul Power could already be hammered fifty-five thousand times, just five thousand short of the sixty thousand Ye Tian Divine Emperor had mentioned.
Of course, even just those five thousand more, for Xu Nian, would still require a long time to accomplish.
Through this thousand years of cultivation, Xu Nian’s Divine Soul Power also grew tremendously.
From the initial Daluo God Early Stage it directly rose to the Daluo God Peak.
Now, when he used the GodsLevel Technique again, Xu Nian could easily instant-kill a Daluo God Middle Stage expert; even a Daluo God Later stage, if caught off guard, might be instant-killed by a single strike from Xu Nian.
With that, this GodsLevel Secret Technique directly became Xu Nian’s trump card.
During this thousand years, Xu Nian’s Earth Attribute Avatar had not been idle either.
He directly forged the remaining nine Godhood Weapons.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian’s Gold Attribute Avatar opened his eyes; at this moment, there was only one day left before the deadline Beichen Divine King had given.
Yet on the field, not a single person had truly comprehended the Divine Soul Secret Technique contained within that painting.
Everyone was shaking their heads one after another, clearly disappointed to the extreme.
As for the Spirit Pearl, basically everyone present had already tried it; not a single person had been able to provoke any reaction from it.
Xu Nian wasn’t surprised by this at all.
After all, this was something set up by Emperor Ye Tian, and Emperor Ye Tian’s physical body was no longer around now. Without Emperor Ye Tian personally taking action, this Spirit Pearl was absolutely impossible to react.
"Sigh, looks like no one here can obtain these two treasures. The blood from Fire Spirit Mountain is fine, but this Shenxiao Sword Sect Token is really a good item." Chen Mingshan sighed.
Hearing this, Xu Nian immediately walked out with a smile.
"Eh, big brother, what are you going to do?" Seeing Xu Nian stand up, Chen Mingshan instantly asked with a grin.
"You’ll know in a moment." Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Chen Mingshan was stunned at first, then he recalled that Xu Nian seemed to have yet to touch the Spirit Pearl.
Xu Nian’s movements naturally drew a lot of attention.
After all, everyone present had already touched the Spirit Pearl long ago, and definitely wouldn’t have waited until now.
As for insights into the painting, many had already chosen to give up, so Xu Nian’s actions naturally drew a lot of notice.
"Who is that? At this point he still wants to try the Spirit Pearl. Could it be he hasn’t tried before?"
"Even if he hasn’t tried, it’s impossible. He’s probably just leaving it to the end to try his luck."
People around them discussed in low voices.
The few women from Shenxiao Sword Sect also noticed Xu Nian’s movements, especially the black‑clothed woman; the look she gave Xu Nian became filled with surprise.
"A Late Stage of God wants to receive resonance from the Divine Emperor? How is that possible?" A Daluo God Early Stage woman from Shenxiao Sword Sect sneered.
Clearly, she felt Xu Nian only making a move at the very end was just grandstanding.
"Choosing to touch the Spirit Pearl only at this time does indeed smack a bit of grandstanding." That middle‑aged beautiful woman from Shenxiao Sword Sect also nodded.
Then she shifted her gaze away.
In her view, it was absolutely impossible for this young man before her to awaken the Spirit Pearl of this Divine Emperor.
"Master’s master, he’s the one I told you about who defeated me."
At this moment, Lu Qinxin was standing beside Beichen Divine King.
As for the Spirit Pearl and that painting, she had tried them long ago; however, even after a thousand years of comprehension, she hadn’t gained the slightest harvest.
In her eyes, it was basically impossible for these people to comprehend it in just one year.
"Oh? You were actually defeated by a Late Stage of God?" Seeing Xu Nian’s cultivation, Beichen Divine King’s eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise.
"He’s not an ordinary Late Stage of God. Right, he also used a powerful Divine Soul Technique at the end, that’s why I lost." Lu Qinxin said.
"A Divine Soul Technique?" Beichen Divine King said in surprise.
Although he was curious that this youth had actually defeated his grand‑disciple with a Divine Soul Technique, he still did not believe this young man before him had the qualifications to comprehend the Secret Technique of this God Emperor.
And just as everyone was not optimistic about Xu Nian, his hand had already been placed on the Spirit Pearl.
The instant Xu Nian’s hand pressed onto the Spirit Pearl, a dazzling radiance burst forth from it.
This light shot straight into the sky in an instant, forming a colossal pillar of light between heaven and earth.
"What!"
At this moment, everyone snapped awake, all of them staring at Xu Nian in shock.
Even Beichen Divine King stood up in astonishment.
"How is this possible? The Spirit Pearl of the Divine Emperor has actually been awakened?" Quite a few Divine Kings and Daluo God Strong People around were utterly stunned.
The women of Shenxiao Sword Sect were also left dumbfounded.
Not just them—Lu Qinxin, Bai Li and the others were likewise shocked beyond words.
"Damn, as expected of my big brother—if he doesn’t act, fine, but once he does, he shocks everyone." Chen Mingshan couldn’t help exclaiming.
"This guy always seems able to create miracles." Bai Li also couldn’t help sighing.
Xu Nian had first saved her, and now, with such a posture, he directly crushed all the Divine Kings and Daluo Gods present.
Just how heaven‑defying was this guy’s talent?
Yet standing amid the crowd, Xu Nian himself wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
"Many thanks, Master!" Xu Nian was laughing in his heart.
With the owner of the Spirit Pearl personally taking action, how could this Spirit Pearl possibly not react?
"No need to thank me, but don’t let something like this happen a second time." Ye Tian Divine Emperor replied coldly.
Xu Nian smiled helplessly. Having God Emperor personally activate his own Spirit Pearl for him was indeed putting God Emperor in a bit of a spot.
"Buzz!"
From within the Spirit Pearl, a ray of golden light shot into Xu Nian’s mind; it was a map.
The former residence of Ye Tian Divine Emperor.
"Haha, young friend, I didn’t expect you’d actually awaken this Spirit Pearl at the very last moment and obtain the recognition of the Divine Emperor. Truly worthy of celebration!" Beichen Divine King laughed heartily.
His figure flickered and he appeared right beside Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was startled; Beichen Divine King’s speed was simply too fast.
Yet the surrounding crowd was in an uproar, because Beichen Divine King had actually addressed this Late Stage of God in front of them as ’young friend’?
