Chapter 1911: Chapter 1911: Inheritance Array

Xu Nian looked at the hundreds of divine swords in the Sword Pond, utterly amazed.

As an Artifact Refiner, he could naturally see that these divine swords were of extremely high quality in the past.

However, over millions of years, their quality had degraded significantly.

The divine radiance that originally enveloped them had dissipated, making these divine swords no different from ordinary Divine Iron.

The other people clearly noticed this too, and looking at these swords, they all shook their heads.

They originally thought there would be more, but unexpectedly, it was just a pile of scrap iron.

After glancing around, Xu Nian also lost interest in these divine swords.

Among these swords, there was no God Sword. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

And if one wanted to use these divine swords, they could only be reforged.

Now, refining divine-level artifacts is a trivial task for Xu Nian, and what he needed were God-level Artifact Refining Materials, so these swords held little value for him.

Xu Nian bypassed the Sword Pond and headed deeper into the grand hall.

Deep within the hall, there was a massive Formation.

The array patterns on this formation were ancient and mystical, seemingly extraordinary.

"Could this be the Inheritance Array?" The Red-haired Heavenly God looked at the formation, visibly shocked.

Inheritance Array?

The surrounding people were all puzzled and suspicious.

"Indeed, it is the Inheritance Array," the White Robed Taoist exclaimed in amazement.

"It’s actually the Ancient Inheritance Array," Ye Shumin and the others exclaimed in shock.

"What is so special about this Ancient Inheritance Array?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

"Has Xu Fenn never heard of the Ancient Inheritance Array?" Ye Shumin asked.

Xu Fenn shook his head.

Tan Long, standing aside, immediately showed a disdainful expression.

Though Ye Shumin was somewhat surprised, she still explained, "The Ancient Inheritance Array was used in the Ancient Times by the Hell Sect to train disciples. This array tests each person’s soul, and upon completing the trial, rewards are granted from the array. These rewards are something even God-level Experts would envy."

"Oh? What kind of rewards would even God-level Experts envy?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"The rewards are generally related to comprehension and the Soul Realm, such as instantly elevating the Soul Realm of a God-level Expert by one level or imparting very powerful divine skills," Ye Shumin explained.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Elevate the Soul level by one realm?

It must be understood that the divine-level experts of the Nether World differ from those of the Divine World.

Divine-level experts in the Nether World don’t have a true physical body, so in terms of strength, they naturally aren’t as strong as their counterparts in the Divine World.

Moreover, they cultivate only soul power, not the so-called divine power.

Thus, an increase in the soul level signifies a rise in cultivation level for them.

Currently, Xu Nian’s true self has completely refined that Divine Pill.

For an ordinary Nether Emperor, reaching Great Perfection in soul power means no further progress is possible.

But Xu Nian is different; his soul power has already surpassed the divine level limits, now completely comparable to Peak of Divine-level strong people.

On the surface, Xu Nian’s soul level still seems like Nether Emperor Perfection, as he hasn’t yet merged with his Godhood.

Once his Godhood is integrated, Xu Nian’s soul power will be immediately apparent.

If he gains a soul level advancement within the Inheritance Array, perhaps he could breakthrough to the God Realm, who knows?

"The Inheritance Array has seven cushions, just enough for us seven. Each of you find a spot and sit down," the White Robed Taoist instructed.

Saying this, he immediately flew to the central position.

The Red-haired Heavenly God naturally followed closely.

Everyone else also found a cushion and sat without hesitation.

Xu Nian sat on a cushion next to Ye Shumin, though his position was considered the edge of the array.

However, Xu Nian didn’t mind; the position doesn’t significantly affect the Inheritance Array’s proceedings.

"Buzz!"

As soon as Xu Nian sat cross-legged, the array beneath him began to activate.

A powerful soul force instantly enveloped Xu Nian, pulling him into a mystical space.

A colossal shadow appeared before him.

This enormous figure gave Xu Nian a strong sense of oppression.

"Nether Emperor? When did a Nether Emperor get into my domain?" The towering shadow looked down at Xu Nian with disdain.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

Could this towering shadow be the God-level Expert?

Does it mean that this Inheritance Array was left behind by a God-level Expert?

"Junior Xu Nian greets the senior." Though feeling belittled, Xu Nian still respectfully bowed.

"Oh? Your soul level far surpasses Nether Emperor Perfection, and in terms of power, you’re comparable to a Peak of Divine-level, yet you haven’t condensed a Godhood?" The giant shadow spoke again.

Xu Nian was even more astounded upon hearing this.

This being could see through his soul power at a glance?

Even though some experts could tell that his soul origin level had surpassed the divine boundary.

No one has ever discerned exactly how strong his soul power was.

"Senior, I’m just fortunate. What kind of challenge does senior plan to give this junior?" Xu Nian asked the giant shadow.

Obviously, this giant shadow was a wisp of soul mark left by that God-level Expert.

But for a soul mark to be this powerful, how strong must this person have been in life? It utterly baffled Xu Nian.

"Young one, since you’ve come here, accept my test. I offer you two choices. The first option is a regular soul tempering trial. Pass it, and I can raise your soul power by one level," the shadow spoke.

"And the second?" Xu Nian was intrigued.

The first reward was an increase in soul power.

The second option would surely be even more extraordinary.

"The second option is truly a nine-deaths-one-life situation. Under my full-force assault, you need to endure for 15 minutes. If you survive, I’ll grant you my Godhood," the shadow stated.

"Godhood?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

The second reward was a Godhood.

He understood how precious a Peak of God-level Godhood, with Heavenly Dao Perfection level Godhood, is.

Such a Godhood, if acquired by a strong person of the same attribute, could gradually comprehend the Heavenly Dao truth within it.

While slower than direct refining, this method allows one to convert it into their possession.

However, comprehending someone else’s Heavenly Dao usually imposes significant limitations on future breakthroughs.

Xu Nian’s surprise wasn’t because he cared about the Heavenly Dao truth.

Rather, it was the Godhood itself; if he possessed such a Godhood, refining a God-level Puppet with it would make it invincible close to God.

However, enduring 15 minutes under such a strong entity, even if just a remnant soul, is not something Xu Nian could achieve.

As he said, even a God-level Expert at the early stage would find it nine-deaths-one-life, let alone him?
