King of Assassins

Chapter 1232: Chapter 751: Infinite Divine Power (Part 3)

"We should never underestimate the heroes of the world!"

Gao Xuan reminded himself that things had been going too smoothly lately. Although he didn’t become arrogant because of it, he inevitably became a bit less cautious.

The main issue was that Yu Lian Daoist was unreliable. From her Divine Soul’s memory, the Cyan Lotus Sword seemed to be nothing special. This gave him a wrong impression.

Gao Xuan secretly felt fortunate, lucky to have encountered the White Ape Lord, and even luckier not to have met Yuan Qinglian.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time now to study the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent. Xiong Wuji and the Five Elements Ancestor had arrived.

The five-colored Divine Light was sketching connections in the sky, forming a complex and enormous array.

The five-colored Divine Light suddenly surged, tearing open a Void rift in the sky. In the next moment, two figures flew down from the void rift.

The leader of the group had rough features, was tall in stature, with dark skin, and wore a set of black robes. His shoulders were particularly broad, and his waist and back even broader, standing there motionlessly like a mountain, heavy and stable.

No introduction was necessary; Gao Xuan instantly recognized that this person must be Xiong Wuji.

The short old man behind Xiong Wuji, wearing a five-color robe, was indeed the Five Elements Ancestor.

One might say the Five Elements Ancestor was a very powerful Earth Immortal, but standing behind Xiong Wuji, he seemed like a follower slave, totally lacking momentum.

More precisely, it was Xiong Wuji’s overwhelming presence that completely overshadowed the Five Elements Ancestor.

"Xiong Wuji?"

Although Gao Xuan recognized them, he still called out.

Xiong Wuji raised an eyebrow: "Good eye, it is indeed Xiong."

He casually pointed to the Five Elements Ancestor: "My good friend, the Five Elements Ancestor."

Gao Xuan nodded and smiled at the Five Elements Ancestor, letting his gaze linger on the five-color robe: "Fellow Daoist’s Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light is quite unique."

The Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light was itself a Divine Artifact, like light, water, or air, without a fixed form. Its shape depended on how the user manipulated it.

As a chaotic multi-colored robe, Gao Xuan frankly could not agree with the Five Elements Ancestor’s aesthetic.

The Five Elements Ancestor was indifferent to the slight ridicule, staring straight at Gao Xuan’s moon-white gauze robe, not hiding his greed.

Gao Xuan smiled at the sight: "No need to hurry, fellow Daoist. If you can defeat me, the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light will naturally belong to you."

The Five Elements Ancestor smiled awkwardly without saying a word. He had come precisely for the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light, so there was no need to explain.

Gao Xuan then asked Xiong Wuji: "The fellow Daoist of the Five Elements is here for the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light, but what brings Fellow Daoist Xiong?"

He said: "Could it be that you fancy the Earth Armor?"

Xiong Wuji laughed heartily: "Good eye, indeed the Earth Armor is a major part of why I’m here."

Xiong Wuji was innately magnanimous and didn’t bother to hide his intentions.

Demons don’t adhere to the Human Race’s notions of benevolence and morality. Killing Gao Xuan would eliminate a threat and gain treasures, which was reason enough, without needing further justification.

Gao Xuan praised: "Fellow Daoist Xiong is truly the first Demon Emperor of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, you’re indeed bold."

"We cultivators go against the heavens, relying on our own cultivation and wisdom. All things under heaven and earth are to be used by us. There’s no need to care about other beings; just kill, without any need for reasoning."

Xiong Wuji clapped his hands and laughed: "Refreshing, refreshing! You Daoist are straightforward. Unlike those cultivators of Central Province, who preach benevolence and morality, yet are inwardly corrupt and vicious. It’s truly laughable."

He sighed: "It’s a pity that we met too late. Otherwise, we could have been great friends."

Gao Xuan smiled: "If we can’t be good friends, being strong enemies is also good. We all draw our swords, display our Divine Communication Techniques and Daoist Skills to decide life and death—that’s pleasure too."

"True, true! I’ve been petty."

Xiong Wuji thought for a moment and raised a thumb at Gao Xuan, highly admiring his words.

Xiong Wuji said: "Fellow Daoist, your divine techniques are peerless, and you are so forthright and generous, we won’t hold back."

As he finished speaking, he glanced at the Five Elements Ancestor, signaling that it was time to act together.

The Five Elements Ancestor hastily formed a Dharma Seal, urging the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light.

Millions of strands of five-colored divine light intersected up and down like a net, heavily sealing this vast sea region.

The Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light harnesses Earth Evil Qi everywhere, even in the void, there is endless Earth Evil Power.

Although Nine Dragon Sea is a vast ocean, the Earth Evil Qi is equally dense.

The Five Elements Ancestor had cultivated the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light for millions of years and was extraordinarily accomplished in this art.

With a thought, the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light had already combined with the Earth’s evil energy, forming the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light Grand Array.

The Nine-headed Dragon King was dead, and although the Earth Immortal Law he’d condensed hadn’t dissipated, it couldn’t resist the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light.

Gao Xuan had the Divine Soul of the Nine-headed Dragon King and the Earth Armor, but the opponents came too swiftly, not giving him time to refine them.

In rush, he had no way to use the Earth Immortal Law of the Nine-headed Dragon King to ward off enemies.

Gao Xuan, at this moment, had no geographical advantage whatsoever.

Once the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light formed its grand array, Gao Xuan felt many layers of binding force.

There’s no denying, the Five Elements Ancestor’s Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light was incredibly formidable, far surpassing his Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light.

Gao Xuan said to the Five Elements Ancestor: "Fellow Daoist, your mastery of the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light has truly opened my eyes. Thank you."

The Five Elements Ancestor remained silent, stealthily shifted his position, leaving a divine light illusionary projection in place.

Having witnessed Gao Xuan’s might, the Five Elements Ancestor dared not be careless.

Xiong Wuji said to Gao Xuan, "Fellow Daoist, your calmness and confidence indicate that victory is assured."

Gao Xuan laughed: "Of course, I have complete confidence. Without faith, I would have turned and fled long ago."
