King of Assassins

Chapter 1226: Chapter 750: Nine Forces Return to One

Amidst the vast ocean, white waves rise and fall, as if the sea water wants to connect with the sky.

Between the sea and sky, the Nine-headed Dragon King stands steadily clad in golden armor. Though he stands suspended in the air, he is as steady and solid as the earth itself. Yet, on him surges the vast and turbulent power of the endless ocean.

The weighty earth and the lively turbulent sea, these two powers are naturally contradictory. But now they are completely unified, forming a powerful whole.

In Gao Xuan’s Celestial Dragon Eye, billions of golden lights glisten, analyzing the Nine-headed Dragon King’s state through layers such as Primordial Qi and Divine Soul.

The Ninth Consciousness is also operating synchronously, analyzing the Nine-headed Dragon King’s condition.

Without a doubt, the Nine-headed Dragon King has condensed two Earth Immortal Laws. One is his mastery over Water Divine Techniques, and the other is the golden armor on him.

"The Thick Earth Power of the golden armor is so profound and endlessly regenerative, it resembles the legendary Earth..."

Gao Xuan’s cultivation time is short; compared to the centennial Demon Emperors, he is practically a newborn.

However, he has slain so many Demon Kings and four Demon Emperors, their memories became his knowledge. Plus, he has killed so many powerful figures in the Cyan Celestial Realm.

Gao Xuan’s breadth of knowledge surpasses most Demon Emperors. With the Ninth Consciousness, a brief analysis of the changes in Primordial Qi allowed him to fully comprehend the Nine-headed Dragon King’s details.

Admittedly, the Nine-headed Dragon King is very strong. His combat power far exceeds the Demon Emperors like Celestial Fox and Mist Demon.

According to the Primordial Celestial Realm’s classification of Earth Immortals, the Nine-headed Dragon King should barely qualify to step into the first-tier level. This has been Gao Xuan’s strongest opponent since he entered the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Had it been before the slaying of Shi Wanqiu, Gao Xuan would have struggled to win against the Nine-headed Dragon King. At least not in a decisive battle over the Nine Dragon Sea.

But now, the situation is very different.

Not to mention anything else, the successive massive upgrades of the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw alone are enough to defeat the Nine-headed Dragon King.

While Gao Xuan was contemplating, a sudden warning emerged in his mind. The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada within his consciousness seas issued a loud warning call, alerting him to danger.

If the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada is alerting, this danger must be genuinely perilous.

Gao Xuan had already detected someone watching him but did not mind it. Here in the Immortal Realm, many methods are available to spy on others. He was not afraid of people watching.

The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw is his strongest Divine Artifact, hiding it is impossible.

At this level of power, there is no pretense. If the opponent does not have enough power, knowing the transformations of the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw doesn’t help, they still wouldn’t be able to block it.

However, the one spying harbors malice and intends to attack; this warrants caution.

Gao Xuan’s Ninth Consciousness scanned and immediately detected the source of the malice, which consists of three malicious intents.

The nearest malicious intent is hiding above, only tens of miles away. The owner of this intent has a nimble and sharp aura, surely skilled in swordsmanship.

Gao Xuan sifted through his memories but was uncertain about the other’s origin. However, the other’s proficiency in swordsmanship was pleasing to him.

Engaging in a swordsmanship contest would greatly benefit his Sword Dao.

In the distant sides are two other malicious intents. One possessed a powerful and condensed strength, even stronger than the Nine-headed Dragon King.

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but think of Jin Xiang, the nun who practiced the Vajra Power King Scripture, whose strength at its peak was a notch stronger than his.

The owner of this malicious intent possesses power and solidity, thousands of times stronger than Jin Xiang.

"Could it be the Southern Barbarians’ first Demon Emperor, Xiong Wuji? It’s rumored his Infinite Divine Power matches his characteristics precisely."

Gao Xuan utilizes numerous Demon Emperor memories, instantly identifying the other’s origins.

With such formidable power, in the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, only one fits the description - Xiong Wuji.

The other aura experiences Five Elements interactions, but the transformations occur smoothly and naturally.

This is too rare among Demons.

The Five Elements are the foundational power for Human Race Cultivators, most Secret Techniques are born from the Five Elements.

Gao Xuan, arriving in the Primordial Celestial Realm, witnessed many Demons with great Divine Techniques. However, Demon Emperor Techniques are innate. Although their power is great, they fall short on the refined layer of magic compared to many cultivators in the Cyan Celestial Realm.

This one’s deep attainment in Five Elements Power also astonished Gao Xuan.

A demon inherently grasping Five Elements Power? Why does the Way he exercises Five Elements Power feel so compatible and familiar?

"Ah, the Five Elements Ancestor, Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light!"

Gao Xuan suddenly understood, all his doubts resolved in an instant. No wonder the other’s Five Elements Power is so proficient, they wield the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light.

The Nine-headed Bird had long told him about Five Elements Ancestor possessing the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light.

The main issue was the Five Elements Ancestor being too distant, Gao Xuan planned to subdue the four here first, then seek out the Five Elements Ancestor after absorbing the strength of these Demon Emperors.

In any case, the Five Elements Ancestor won’t escape.

Unexpectedly, before he sought out the Five Elements Ancestor, they themselves had come knocking.

Gao Xuan immediately understood why the other’s malice was so intense. The Five Elements Ancestor must have recognized the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light.

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, it worked out even better, saving him the embarrassment of going to confront them.

The Nine-headed Dragon King opposite furrowed his brow slightly; he didn’t understand why Gao Xuan was laughing. Was he looking down on him?

The Nine-headed Dragon King said coldly, "Killing Celestial Fox is nothing to be proud of."

"You misunderstood, I am not prideful, it just so happens my mood improved suddenly, hence the laugh."

Gao Xuan explained, "I have no intention of looking down on you."

The Nine-headed Dragon King impatiently interrupted Gao Xuan, "No need for insincere explanations, since you’re here, let’s decide life or death. Why waste words."

Gao Xuan came aggressively; could it be to visit as a guest?

The Nine-headed Dragon King is straightforward and does not care for empty etiquette.
