Divine King of Honour-Chapter 732: Mountain-opening Strike
Xu Nian watched as the Sword Qi Tornado surged crazily toward him.
His eyes also showed a hint of astonishment.
Though the Sword Qi was not sharp, the pressure created by the encompassing debris and seawater was incredibly heavy.
He believed that a typical Pseudo Heavenly Phenomenon Level Supreme Battle Emperor, if subjected to this attack,
would likely be crushed directly into pulp.
The people around also showed surprise.
The power of this strike was too terrifying.
Xu Nian's eyes narrowed.
He flipped the Kunlun Hammer in his hand, and two massive yellow circles of light surged out from beneath him.
"Earth Tyrant Hammer!"
Xu Nian roared loudly, swinging the hammer, and fiercely smashed it toward the terrifying Sword Qi Tornado.
"Boom!"
A sound that seemed to shake heaven and earth.
The surrounding seawater exploded dramatically.
The impact displaced all the water nearby,
forming a huge vacuum in the area spanning a hundred meters.
Nevertheless, Xu Nian was still sent flying by the terrifying rebound force.
Of course, Emperor Xuanwu was not much better off.
He was forced back by the ferocious wave of energy.
His great sword tore a hundred-zhang-long sword scar on the ground, finally halting his momentum.
He looked at the training ground in front of him, now completely unrecognizable, eyes filled with astonishment.
Xu Nian had actually managed to withstand his sword strike.
The powerful members of the Xuanwu Palace who were thrown aside were also deeply shocked.
Such battles were truly rare occurrences, seen perhaps only once in a century.
Moreover, what astonished them the most was,
this human youth named Xu Nian was actually fighting on par with their Xuanwu Clan's Emperor Xuanwu.
"Haha, Brother Xu Nian, your strength really has surprised me," laughed Emperor Xuanwu heartily.
He sheathed his Heavy Sword Chongshan and walked over to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian also gave a slight smile and put away his hammer.
He coughed a few times and said, "Brother Xuan Feng, your strength is truly formidable; though I managed to take this strike, I still sustained quite serious injuries."
"Brother Xu Nian is too kind. You are not even twenty years old yet, and to achieve such accomplishments is truly remarkable. Maybe in a few years, I might not even be a match for you," Emperor Xuanwu said, patting Xu Nian's shoulder.
Xu Nian just smiled slightly.
Actually, he had not used his full strength.
If he truly unleashed the Dragon Energy and the Talent Phenomenon,
Emperor Xuanwu might not have been his opponent.
Of course, this was just a sparring match.
There was no need to fight to the death.
"Come, let's go have a few drinks, brother," Emperor Xuanwu laughed heartily, and then intended to pull Xu Nian to drink.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xuan Feng, I had some insights during the fight just now and might need to delay our drinking a bit," Xu Nian said apologetically with a smile.
Having said that, he then sat down cross-legged on the ground.
"Insight?"
Emperor Xuanwu was stunned.
However, he didn't say anything.
He hadn't expected that Xu Nian could gain insight from just the battle they had.
Wasn't that a bit exaggerated?
"Don't disturb him; his comprehension might be even more fearsome than you imagine," Xuan Hong came over and said to Xuan Feng.
Xuan Feng nodded.
He then ordered everyone around not to approach Xu Nian.
However, he didn't leave; instead, he had someone bring two pots of wine.
He and Xuan Hong sat on a distant boulder, quietly waiting.
They both wanted to see what exactly Xu Nian would realize.
However, as soon as Xu Nian sat down, he became motionless.
His entire demeanour was akin to an old monk in meditation, sitting there without a stir.
One who did not know better might have thought Xu Nian had fallen asleep.
"Great-grandfather, what do you think Brother Xu Nian will comprehend?" Xuan Feng asked as he sipped his wine, speaking to Xuan Hong beside him.
"I am not sure what he will comprehend, but I do know that whatever he does comprehend will definitely surprise us," Xuan Hong replied indifferently.
Xu Nian had already given them plenty of surprises.
He had effortlessly accomplished things that others deemed impossible.
Thus, no matter what Xu Nian did, he would not find it unexpected.
Xuan Feng was astonished.
He hadn't expected his great-grandfather to hold such high regard for Xu Nian.
"Hum!"
Just then, a terrifying wave emanated from beneath their feet.
Followed by the ground starting to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Xuan Feng and Xuan Hong were both startled.
They immediately seemed to think of something.
They both turned their heads towards Xu Nian.
A wave of earthy yellow power was continuously emanating from Xu Nian's body, spreading outwards.
It was this power that caused the ground to tremble.
"What Profound Argumentation is this? How can it cause the entire ground to shake?" the people around exclaimed in surprise.
Xuan Feng was also visibly shocked.
"This must be the Power of Earth Shaking. I didn't expect that what he comprehended was the Power of Earth Shaking, a power that surpasses the mere Power of Earth, and looking at the level of his comprehension, it seems he is about to reach the Small Achievement Realm," exclaimed Xuan Feng.
"Yes, the Earth Shattering. If integrated into his attacks, the power will be extremely terrifying," Xuan Hong added.
He had once encountered someone who had comprehended the Vibration Profound Argumentation.
A single strike from that person could completely shatter a person into pieces.
One could imagine, then, just how strong Xu Nian's attack would be if he had comprehended this Earth Shattering Profound Argumentation.
"Hum!"
Suddenly, Xu Nian abruptly opened his eyes.
He immediately stood up.
A Kunlun Hammer appeared in his hand.
Then, the crowd saw him swing the hammer and smash it directly onto the ground.
However, the anticipated shattering of the earth did not occur.
There weren't even significant cracks on the ground.
People thought they were seeing things.
Was this guy just messing with them?
"Boom!"
But just when everyone thought Xu Nian was just messing around,
a massive mountain miles away suddenly exploded.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Watching the distant, shattered mountain,
they were so shocked they couldn't speak.
One strike.
A mountain miles away was shattered.
What kind of technique was that?
Even Emperor Xuanwu was visibly shocked.
Looking at Xuan Hong beside him, he said with a wry smile, "Great-grandfather, you were really right, he truly gave us a huge surprise."
Hearing Emperor Xuanwu's words, a wry smile also appeared on Xuan Hong's face: "This time, it's not just you, even I, who thought I could not be surprised again, am stunned."
Miles away, shattering a massive mountain,
Such a feat, he could have easily accomplished at his peak.
But now, he was far from able to do it.
Xu Nian, meanwhile, now stood with his hammer retracted, looking towards the distant shattered mountain, his lips curling into a faint smile.
