Divine King of Honour-Chapter 648: The Thoughts of the Sea Demon King
Sea King Palace lay deep under the East Sea, tens of thousands of meters below the sea bed.
The pressure in such depths of the sea was tremendously horrifying.
The pressure from the seawater alone weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
Ordinary practitioners below the Holy Level couldn't reach these depths at all.
It was said that the Forbidden Sea was several times more terrifying in depth than this part of the East Sea.
The pressure there was dozens of times stronger than that of the East Sea.
Even Emperor-Level Strong Men wouldn't dare to easily withstand the deepest parts of that sea area.
Xu Nian, however, was led by the Eight-Clawed King towards the deep sea bed.
For a cultivator of Xu Nian's realm, holding his breath was still manageable.
It was just that the squeezing pressure of the surrounding seawater made him somewhat uncomfortable.
As time passed, he gradually got accustomed to this pressure, and started to disregard it.
The seabed was pitch black.
But soon, Xu Nian saw a vast and bright palace complex settled on the seabed.
These palaces were embedded with giant Night Pearls, lighting up the entire complex like daylight.
These palatial buildings were extremely luxurious, glittering with gold and brilliance.
They were even more luxurious than the Imperial Palace.
Seeing these luxurious buildings, Xu Nian couldn't help but admire in his heart.

It had to be said that the resources under the sea were even richer than those on the land.
One could tell just from these buildings.
"Swoosh!"
The Eight-Clawed King, carrying Xu Nian, directly landed in front of the palace.
"Greetings, General!"
The Demon Beast Guards around them bowed respectfully.
"Hmm, is the Palace Master inside?" asked the Eight-Clawed King.
"The Palace Master has been waiting for a long time, General. Please go in now," said the Demon Beast Guards around.
The Eight-Clawed King nodded.
Then he directly walked into the grand hall.
Naturally, Xu Nian followed him.
Inside the grand hall, it was as bright as daylight as well.
The entire ceiling was embedded with more than a dozen giant Night Pearls.
The biggest and most central pearl was as big as a head.
It was truly astonishing.
However, these were not what caught Xu Nian's attention.
What really attracted Xu Nian was the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat at the front of the great hall.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a black robe, with sharp eyebrows and equally dark eyes.
At first glance, he gave one a chilling feeling.
Seeing Xu Nian arrive, the middle-aged man also stood up and, with a smile, said to Xu Nian, "So you are Xu Nian? Please, have a seat!"
Xu Nian didn't stand on ceremony and directly walked to a nearby chair and sat down.
As for the Eight-Clawed King, he did not sit but silently stood by the side.
While Xu Nian was observing this middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man seemed to be observing Xu Nian as well.
However, he seemed not to have discovered anything particular.
"What brings me here, Sea Demon King?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
Hearing Xu Nian's words, the Sea Demon King also smiled and said, "Nothing much, I had just heard of the great name of Brother Xu Nian and wanted to meet you. My subordinates have offended you before, please forgive us."
"Where would that be, Sea Demon King? Your subordinates haven't offended me, and those who did have already apologized," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He was naturally referring to the Green-Scaled Storm Fish King and the Eight-Clawed King.
The Green-Scaled Storm Fish King's apology had turned into a meal in Xu Nian's stomach.
As for the Eight-clawed King, he had already knelt down to Xu Nian.
Hearing Xu Nian's words, the Eight-clawed King's expression immediately turned cold, and his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Xu Nian.
However, the Sea Demon King beside him just smiled indifferently.
It seemed he was not angered by the provocative content of Xu Nian's words.
"I didn't expect Brother Xu Nian to be so magnanimous, that puts my mind at ease. I've heard that you've always wanted the Low Grade Spirit Pill in my possession, is that true?" the Sea Demon King asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Nian's gaze sharpened.
"Yes, my purpose here is indeed for that Low Grade Spirit Pill. I wonder if the Sea Demon King is willing to part with it and trade it to me for something else," Xu Nian said.
"Oh, where does Brother Xu Nian get such ideas? Since you need this Low Grade Spirit Pill so badly, I will give it to you," the Sea Demon King quickly replied.
Xu Nian was taken aback when he heard this.
What was going on?
Was the Sea Demon King really being so generous?
To just give the Spirit Pill to him?
Everyone knew the Sea Demon King was famous for being cunning and deceitful.
Previously, he had sent the Green-Scaled Storm Fish King and the White Flood Dragon King to snatch the token from Xu Nian's hands.
And now he was saying that he would just give the Low Grade Spirit Pill to him.
How could Xu Nian not be suspicious?
The abnormal is a sign of the suspicious.
The Sea Demon King's action was clearly unusual.
However, what the Sea Demon King said next cleared things up for Xu Nian.
"I've heard you know the Dark God Island Master, is that true?" the Sea Demon King asked tentatively.
Xu Nian was initially stunned upon hearing this.
Then he suddenly understood.
The sudden change in the Sea Demon King's attitude towards him was because of the Dark God Island Master.
Previously, Xu Yu and Black Wind had indeed been saved by the Dark God Island Master.
And the Dark God Island was an island within the bounds of the Forbidden Sea.
According to the Beast God, the Dark God Island Master's strength was extremely formidable.
Clearly, the Sea Demon King was acting out of fear of him.
As for Xu Nian, he had never even met the Dark God Island Master face to face.
He didn't know where the Sea Demon King got the idea that he knew the Dark God Island Master.
But since the Sea Demon King seemed to believe it, Xu Nian was more than happy to let him think so.
"To be honest, not really familiar. The senior from Dark God Island once saved my brother's life. He asked my two brothers to have me visit Dark God Island because he wants to meet me," Xu Nian stated ambiguously.
He believed these words would be enough to catch the Sea Demon King's attention.
Indeed, the Sea Demon King's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Nian's words.
Others might not know, but he did.
Those who were granted the privilege to set foot on Dark God Island were extremely rare.
In the Forbidden Sea, they could be counted on one hand.
The fact that Xu Nian had received an invitation from the Dark Night Island Master indicated that his status in the Dark God Island Master's eyes was exceptionally significant.
"I wonder if Brother Xu Nian could do me a favor. As long as Xu Nian agrees, I'll present the Low Grade Spirit Pill with both hands," the Sea Demon King eagerly said with a flattering smile.
"Oh? What is it?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
Hearing Xu Nian's query, the Sea Demon King quickly put on a sorrowful expression and sighed, "Ah, to tell the truth, I was also from the Forbidden Sea, but I had to flee to the Eastern Sea after offending a powerful force there. So, I would like to ask Brother Xu Nian to help me seek mercy from the Dark God Island so I can return to the Forbidden Sea."
"Wow, does Dark God Island hold such a high position?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
The Sea Demon King just smiled and replied, "Not just high, in the entire Forbidden Sea, just one word from the Dark God Island could obliterate all forces."
Hearing this, Xu Nian couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
He hadn't realized that the Dark God Island held such an esteemed position.
