King of Assassins-Chapter 655 - 500 Traveler

The dark energy of the Dark Sky can isolate the inside from the outside, block spiritual power, and cut off all perceptions.

Only those who control the Dark Sky can remain unaffected by it.

Even a Golden Powerhouse, if unable to sense the external environment, is no different from a blind or deaf person. His power is unaffected, yet if he can't find a target, he cannot unleash his power.

The obstruction of the Dark Sky is not absolute, of course. For example, a top-tier divine artifact like the Sea Emperor Trident contains law power in all aspects.

For instance, resistance against external interference, immunity to instant death laws, nullification of negative powers, etc.

This is the might of the most top-tier divine artifacts. They provide all-around law coverage. Only if the law priority of other marvels is higher can they suppress the divine artifact.

The reason the World-Ending Spear cannot compare to the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear is that it lacks related law coverage, unable to assist Yun Qingshang. But it won't suffer a loss when confronting the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear directly.

As the Dark Sky unfurled, even Yun Qingshang's strong spiritual power was shielded from sensing. However, her 48-point constitution was now proving its power.

A 48-point constitution means more than just a more resilient body; all related perceptions improve.

Like the all-obscuring dark energy, Yun Qingshang could still see two meters ahead.

To her, the dark energy was like a dense fog. Although it obscured vision, it didn't completely blind or deafen her.

Outside, Gao Xuan's spiritual power was also blocked by the Dark Sky. He could connect with Yun Qingshang through a Soul Chain.

However, the Celestial Dragon Eye could still see through the Dark Sky.

Though powerful, this marvel is not a top-tier marvel. At the law level, it cannot suppress the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Gao Xuan was going to remind Yun Qingshang of something but seeing that she wasn't greatly affected, he stayed silent.

He is very confident in Yun Qingshang, believing she can deal with Marlos.

Marlos, apart from being old, is practically without merit. If it weren't for relying on the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, Yun Qingshang would have taken care of him long ago.

Marlos, blown into countless pieces, quickly reformed under the guidance of a special law.

After his rebirth, his face, like a bronze statue, showed cracks as fine as strands of hair.

Relying on the Power of the Evil God for rebirth has caused severe damage to his body.

Low-tier powerhouses can easily revive using marvels because their life energy level is low. It's not so challenging for special marvels to resurrect them.

At the level of a Golden Powerhouse, with strong life energy and a stable and solid divine soul structure, only extremely powerful marvels can reshape such energy-level lives.

Marlos can be resurrected also because the Undying Hero Book he cultivated has the power of rebirth. Furthermore, he sacrificed part of his divine soul to the Evil God.

After he was killed, the divine soul brand sacrificed to the Evil God could quickly bring him back to life, synchronously regaining memories.

This cycle of death and rebirth, however, consumes a large amount of origin power.

Although Marlos theoretically can still revive twice, he knows inside that another death will deplete his origin power.

Even if he could come back to life, he would be stripped of most of his power. Living would merely be drawing out a feeble existence.

Frankly, Marlos did not expect the battle to be so brutal. Yun Qingshang is exceptionally formidable.

Marlos merely wanted to acquire the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, make an excuse to play with it for a few days after killing Yun Qingshang and Gao Xuan.

It's said the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear possesses the spirit brand left by the first-generation powerhouse Augustus. Once this brand is unraveled, one could fully become the Spear Master of the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear.

At that point, wouldn't the Elder Council answer to him? Any defiant would simply be shot down.

But now, the situation was ten, a hundred times worse than Marlos had anticipated. He hadn't gained any advantage and was killed once by Yun Qingshang.

Marlos was also furious; his unstable state, empowered by a wisp of divine power transmitted by the Master of Blood, made him slightly stronger.

Activating this wisp of divine power, the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear in his hand transformed into a mass of fiery red light.

Silently and stealthily, Marlos approached Yun Qingshang from behind, slowly thrusting the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear toward her back.

Though the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear glowed intensely, all Source Power was fully restrained and unreleased.

A single thrust, without sound nor any Source Power ripple.

Marlos hated Yun Qingshang intensely; this attack was cunning and masterfully executed, truly showcasing a Middle-tier Gold Powerhouse's capability.

Yun Qingshang didn't detect any Source Power fluctuation, yet her body sensed an omen of danger.

With a constitution of 48 points, her body's reactions were quicker and more acute than her spiritual power.

As the crimson flame-cross spear blade fell, Yun Qingshang suddenly turned and grabbed the cross spear blade with her backhand.

Marlos hesitated not to activate the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, but Yun Qingshang's power was immense, despite the fiery gleam of the cross spear blade, wrapping her half-arm in a mass of flames, the cross spear blade was still tightly held.

The instant suppression left Marlos powerless to resist.

He helplessly watched a golden long spear thrusting directly at him, unable to avoid.

The World-Ending Spear pierced Marlos's brow, causing his head to explode, even his spirit core was shattered by the spear.

At this moment, the World-Ending Spear's destruction power was also unleashed.

The divine soul brand Marlos sacrificed to the Master of Blood was annihilated by the World-Ending Spear due to a mysterious spiritual connection.

"It's over..."

Marlos too realized his demise, the destruction of his divine soul brand also stripped him of the foundation for resurrection.

An ancient scroll flew out from the shattered body of Marlos, the very Undying Hero Book he had cultivated.

Yun Qingshang didn't hesitate, thrusting the Godslaying Spear forward, shattering the Undying Hero Book into countless pieces.

At this point, Yun Qingshang finally confirmed that Marlos was truly dead.

The Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear in her hand also settled down, the flame-like glow gradually dissipating and returning to its original state.

However, her arm, scorched by the glow, was visibly red, resembling a boiled lobster.

The Enchanting Demon Hide Armor covering her arm cracked in the crimson glow and then disintegrated into countless fragments.

Next was her arm. The skin decomposed and split layer by layer, and the flesh and bones inside followed suit, finally turning into specks of debris.

In an instant, half of Yun Qingshang's arm disappeared completely. Her arm's broken end was smooth as a mirror, as if she was born without this half of the arm.

Yun Qingshang originally didn't care; with her constitution, even if she lost a portion of her arm, she could regrow it, even her head.

But she couldn't restore her arm to its original state. This half-severed arm seemed to be completely erased from her body.

Yun Qingshang was startled by the abnormality. The power of the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear was truly terrifying. If the spear had struck her chest, it would have been troublesome.

Through the Soul Chain, Gao Xuan also noticed Yun Qingshang's physical anomaly. He reassured her, "Don't worry, it's the Law Power of the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear. Once I find a way to remove the Law Power, you'll be fine."

Yun Qingshang wasn't particularly worried; missing half an arm was somewhat inconvenient but didn't significantly affect her combat ability.

Seeing the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear floating mid-air, Yun Qingshang dared not reach for it. The weapon was too sinister.

However, it couldn't be left unchecked. Such a powerful divine artifact posed too great a threat.

As Yun Qingshang pondered how to capture the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, she saw the spear transform into a stream of light, soaring skyward and disappearing in an instant.

Across the Dark Sky, the many experts of the Augustus faction were unaware of the battle's outcome.

Ron, as the High Priest, had higher access privileges over the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear. He immediately noted that the spear had lost its temporary master.

Undoubtedly, something had happened to Marlos.

Marlos could die, but the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear could not encounter any mishaps. Ron immediately used his authority to summon the divine artifact back.

The Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, shining with a crimson glow, appeared in the Elder Council, stunning the many elders.

Everyone understood that this signified Marlos' death.

Although many looked down on Marlos, they recognized his prowess. Besides two Golden Upper-tier Powerhouses, no one present dared claim they could defeat Marlos.

Wielding the Godslaying Spear no less, and yet, he died just like that?

The elders of the Augustus Elder Council felt a chill at heart; a single Yun Qingshang rendered them powerless. What would they do if Gao Xuan attacked?

All the elders seated were seasoned with countless storms, each filled with schemes and plots.

But with Gao Xuan's blatant aggression, no scheme was effective. Only with sufficient power could they eliminate Gao Xuan.

All eyes turned to Ron; now, they could only wait for Traveler Marco to return.

Ron, with a cold face, was also disappointed by the weakness of these members.

Even combined, could they genuinely not contend with Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang? It was simply that everyone was afraid of death, reluctant to step forward.

The atmosphere in the Elder Council's chamber fell into an awkward silence.

"I'm back."

A young man stepping inside from outside the chamber broke the awkward silence.

This person appeared to be in his thirties, with golden curly hair, emerald eyes, tall and lean, dressed in a black leather jacket, adorned with various gold chains and ornaments, jeans, and pointed boots.

On his belt were strapped two ancient six-shot revolvers, with two short swords sheathed on his thighs.

The complex and rough ornaments exuded a punk vibe, aligning with the now-popular steampunk style in the Star River.

While this style was trendy among young people, it appeared out of place amidst the elders in the Elder Council.

Seeing this young man, all the elders stood up with respect, clutching their chests, bowing and saluting.

Ron, somewhat excited, greeted him: "You're finally back..."

The young man who suddenly appeared was Traveler Marco. Easy-going by nature, he enjoyed roaming and never stayed long in one place.

This trait led to his wandering across the Galaxy. He would not return unless absolutely necessary.

Unlike Robin, Marco gained immense Life Energy through blood rituals and special marvels, returning his body to its prime.

As the strongest in Augustus, Marco held immense prestige in the Elder Council. Everyone had great confidence in him.

Ron was about to brief Marco on the situation when Marco waved it off, "I already know everything."

He mocked, "You only think of me when you're in trouble, yet never remember me when there's profit."

As Ron awkwardly tried to explain, Marco's gaze fell on the Reverse Cross Godslaying Spear, and he shook his head, "Marlos, that useless fool, even brought disgrace to such a divine artifact."

Marco waved his hand, "No need for words, I'll go kill Gao Xuan and that little girl, and settle this affair."

He spoke simply and easily, and Ron and the others fully trusted him. No matter how strong Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang were, with Marco taking action, they were doomed.
