King of Assassins-Chapter 178 - 167: Nearly Perfect

The Seven-Colored Treasure Pearl is precisely the Celestial Demon Relic.

Gao Xuan gently held the Celestial Demon Relic, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

In the past life, Luojia was able to dominate the cosmos and become one of humanity’s strongest, all thanks to this object’s power.

He killed Luojia mostly for this Celestial Demon Relic.

In Luojia’s hands, the Celestial Demon Relic was a weapon that brought disaster to humanity. In his hands, however, it was the foundation of godhood.

The Celestial Demon Relic is just a name; there are no celestial demons in this universe, and the Celestial Demon Relic is not the crystallization of any being. It has nothing to do with the divine either. It is merely a marvel of cosmic laws transformed.

The alien race involved in Virtual Godhood gathered the source power of a hundred years of heart thoughts from a trillion humans before achieving divine enthronement.

Gao Xuan knows the steps to divine enthronement and how to get there first, but even if he ascends the Divine Sealing Platform, he can’t use the source power of billions.

Only this marvel, the Celestial Demon Relic, can convert billions of source power into his own energy. Only in this way does he have a chance to achieve virtual godhood.

Luojia indeed had a deeper resonance with the Celestial Demon Relic, being just a step away from divine enthronement in the past life.

If Luojia was willing to save humanity, cooperation wasn’t impossible.

Gao Xuan is an assassin who believes in achieving his goals by any means necessary. As long as humanity is saved, having Luojia as the savior makes no difference.

He guards the secret of rebirth not for his own benefit but to protect the most stable future, allowing him to act more freely.

As the King of Assassins, Gao Xuan has his magnanimity and perspective.

Unfortunately, Luojia was ultimately unsuitable for cooperation. The risks were too high, and there were too many uncontrollable factors.

Gao Xuan hesitated only momentarily before deciding to proceed with his original plan.

The unexpected element was Bai Yutang’s death.

Gao Xuan had mixed feelings; perhaps this was the best outcome, which is why he said fate was on his side.

However, this was not the result he desired.

The Guardian Angel marvel is actually of the Silver Tier, capable of magnifying human emotional power to its peak, transforming it into a Guardian Angel. In reality, this is also a projection of the human spirit.

Gao Xuan believed that with his strong spiritual power, protecting Bai Yutang wouldn’t be difficult.

Luojia triggered the God of Blood’s mark, destroying Bai Yutang’s life force from within. Fortunately, with the Guardian Angel, Gao Xuan was barely able to preserve Bai Yutang’s divine soul.

Subsequently, Luojia occupied Bai Yutang’s body and tried to fuse with her divine soul. Unwilling to be controlled, Bai Yutang’s soul merged with the Guardian Angel.

Due to the marvel’s compatibility with Bai Yutang’s soul, her intense obsession also triggered the Guardian Angel’s law.

The sevenfold spiritual power Luojia unleashed also induced an anomaly in the Guardian Angel, transforming Bai Yutang into a Guardian Angel. Luojia’s spiritual power and all his divine techniques were absorbed by Bai Yutang.

Within this lies a strange symbiotic law forcibly imprinted inside the Guardian Angel.

Having transformed into a Guardian Angel, Bai Yutang retained her memories and emotions, as well as her intelligence. She even absorbed all of Luojia’s power and established a divine soul symbiotic law with Gao Xuan. freewebnoveℓ.com

As long as Gao Xuan is alive, she will not perish.

This state is akin to the relationship between Luojia and the Little White Pig.

However, Bai Yutang was no longer human, having fully transformed into another kind of life form.

Gao Xuan was naturally the biggest beneficiary, but he didn’t see this as a good thing.

"Ah Xuan, from now on, I can always be with you, never parting. It’s wonderful, really wonderful."

Bai Yutang fluttered her beautiful black wings and floated before Gao Xuan. She gently embraced Gao Xuan with both hands, her face filled with ease and relief; this outcome couldn’t be better for her.

Gao Xuan also gently embraced Bai Yutang. After transforming into an angel, Bai Yutang’s body was completely energized. Yet, her form was constructed by powerful laws, no different from a fleshly body, with tactile sensations even more vivid.

However, it’s merely an external manifestation, not truly flesh and blood.

Gao Xuan was a straightforward, practical person. Given what had happened, he wouldn’t say anything overly sentimental or dismal.

He held Bai Yutang and smiled, "Sister Tang, you are even more beautiful now. Plus, no need to visit the restroom. Simply perfect."

"Hehehe..."

Bai Yutang’s face turned slightly red. She flapped her black wings and stepped back a little, "Ah Xuan, I’m an energy body now. But if you want, I can still accompany you."

"Sister Tang, it sounds like you think I’m a scoundrel."

Gao Xuan said, somewhat displeased, "Am I that lustful?"

"You are very lustful. The first time you saw me, you wanted to take advantage."

Recalling their first meeting, Bai Yutang couldn’t help but smile. Although they had known each other for only a few dozen days, it felt as if it had been a lifetime.

"In the future, there will be all sorts of beauties accompanying you, Ah Xuan won’t be lonely..."

Bai Yutang suddenly felt a bit sour in her heart again. She flapped her wings and flew into the distance, "I’ll help you clean up the battlefield. The commotion was so big, others will come."

Bai Yutang didn’t know why Gao Xuan wanted to be an assassin or why he wanted to go to school, but there must be a reason for his actions.

The Space Fortress had used the plasma cannon; it probably alarmed the whole world. Now they needed to quickly leave this place.

"Sister Tang, just gather the marvels."

Gao Xuan casually placed the Celestial Demon Relic on his forehead. The Seven-Colored Treasure Pearl silently merged into it without leaving a trace.

Gao Xuan also collected the Spirit Core left by Ye Qianqiu. This Spirit Race individual was much stronger than An Shirong. The Spirit Core he left was only the size of a grain of rice, yet exceptionally refined.

There was no time to deal with it. He just handed the Spirit Core to the Godslaying Sword.

Yun Qingshang also jumped out of the deep pit at this moment. Just now, when Gao Xuan was about to activate the Celestial Mandate, this was no game, and releasing Sword Qi couldn’t be completely controlled.

So Gao Xuan let Yun Qingshang avoid it first to prevent being accidentally hurt by the Sword Qi.

Yun Qingshang also saw the Black-winged Angel Bai Yutang, and she rarely showed a look of amazement.

"It’s complicated. We’ll talk about it later."

As Gao Xuan spoke, he also activated Stealth, his body turning into a blur of watery light, bringing Yun Qingshang into the nearby woods.

Bai Yutang had gathered the Qianqiu Sword and the Separation Sword, and her figure blurred. When she reappeared, she was already beside Gao Xuan.

The plasma cannon was too violent, and most marvels would be destroyed on the spot.

Only high-tier Sword Artifacts like the Qianqiu Sword and Separation Sword were preserved.

In particular, the Qianqiu Sword, a Silver Marvel. On its spine was engraved a line of cryptic text: "Eternal."

It seemed to be a very powerful Silver Marvel.

However, Gao Xuan didn’t want to keep it; the Qianqiu Sword was too conspicuous. He still had a starving Celestial Spirit Sword Box at home.

Upon inserting the Separation Sword, the Source Power fluctuations of the Celestial Spirit Sword Box became intense, as if expressing extreme excitement.

When the Qianqiu Sword was inserted, the Celestial Spirit Sword Box immediately became unresponsive.

For a starving person, a bowl of rice is the ultimate delicacy. A bucket of rice, that might lead to overstuffing.

Although the Celestial Spirit Sword Box was greedy, its appetite was limited.

With these two Sword Artifacts, the Celestial Spirit Sword Box would not cause trouble for a short time.

Time was pressing. Gao Xuan left Yun Qingshang behind and drove the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword back home by himself.

After several battles, although Gao Xuan didn’t make any breakthroughs in the heat of the moment, he gained a deeper control over the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

The flight speed of the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword could easily reach a thousand kilometers per hour. In less than ten minutes, Gao Xuan had returned to his residence at Mingjing University.

Bai Yutang left by flying ship, and no one else knew that Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang had been at the performance venue with her.

On his way back, Gao Xuan encountered many patrolling flying ships, with various electronic scans forming a large net, scanning back and forth over Mingjing City.

In this matter, Luojia was undoubtedly the most important, regarded as a superstar with Star Realm level influence.

Ye Qianqiu had activated the Space Wheel to transfer everyone out, which actually prevented Gao Xuan from using the main cannon to blast the performance venue.

If that had happened, the impact of the Space Fortress’s main cannon blast would have multiplied countless times. There would be no easy way to conclude the situation then.

However, a single shot from the plasma cannon annihilated all witnesses on the spot.

Ye Qianqiu, Xiao Bie Li, and Luojia were killed by Gao Xuan, leaving no one who knew Gao Xuan’s identity or that he had been at the scene.

After the main cannon blast, the site was in electromagnetic chaos, isolating all detection.

As for the interior of the performance venue, due to confidentiality requirements, Luojia had not activated any surveillance equipment. No one would know he had been on the scene.

Gao Xuan sat in his room, organizing the evening’s battle.

His powerful Spiritual Power gave him greater computational ability than a Light Computer.

After organizing from beginning to end, Gao Xuan confirmed that he hadn’t left any obvious flaws.

This time, he was able to escape perfectly with no suspicion.

As for Yun Qingshang, with the Crimson Heart that could transform and modify at will, no one could find her either.

An hour later, Yun Qingshang returned safely.

Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang had a brief chat and then each took a rest. In this battle, both of them exerted themselves to the fullest, leaving their mind and body extremely exhausted.

While the two of them slept peacefully, the outside world was in chaos.
