King of Assassins-Chapter 730 - 541: Coming to Confront

Gao Xuan was indeed quite pleased with himself. There's no helping it; anyone in his position would feel the same.

With fifty points each in power, speed, and constitution, Gao Xuan had already achieved divinity in the physical sense.

This was actually quite unusual.

Typically, any normal being must transcend spiritually and achieve divinity at the level of the divine soul.

Beings that become divine through their flesh are extremely rare.

Moreover, no matter how strong the physical body is, it is still just a body. A punch might destroy a planet, but it cannot conjure even a pebble.

True divines possess endless divine techniques. That is the true strength of a divine being. A merely powerful body can only cause destruction.

Gao Xuan was only proud for a few seconds before he realized the Old Turtle was much stronger than him.

If it came to a direct confrontation, he could very well be flattened by a punch from the Old Turtle.

Seeing the Old Turtle's planet-sized body, Gao Xuan quickly accepted this outcome.

After all, great power comes with great size. The Old Turtle was in a super heavyweight class; compared to the Old Turtle, he wasn't even feather-level, more like fur-level... roughly equivalent to one of the Old Turtle's hairs!

Thinking about it like this, Gao Xuan felt balanced. It's not that he is lacking; their physical forms are just vastly different.

Besides, the Old Turtle hadn't lived so long for nothing.

Gao Xuan quickly calmed down; he saw no need to provoke the Old Turtle. It would be much better for everyone to team up and fight King Zhuanlun.

The Old Turtle shook his head, saying, "It's not us, it's you who will fight King Zhuanlun."

Before Gao Xuan could speak, the Old Turtle continued, "That's what we agreed on before."

Gao Xuan nodded, saying, "We did agree before. But are you really not going?"

He tried his best to entice him, saying, "I'll take the lead. Once King Zhuanlun uses the divine artifact on me, you can go in and slap him to death, wouldn't that be great?"

The Old Turtle laughed, "I'm too old and frail; I can't withstand King Zhuanlun's divine artifact. You're better suited for this. I'll be behind you cheering you on."

Seeing the Old Turtle being so cautious, Gao Xuan felt more prudent too. This old guy was truly afraid of King Zhuanlun, so he also needed to be careful not to fall into King Zhuanlun's trap.

"Alright then."

Gao Xuan had gained benefits from the old man; at this point, he couldn't just turn his back and deny it. Though he might use underhanded means, he wasn't one to go back on his word.

Without trust, you can't stand. If you don't even keep your word, that's just too lowly. In the long run, the consequences of being untrustworthy are far greater.

Only those who only see the present moment would like to spout nonsense for petty gains.

Gao Xuan heartily thumped his chest, "Old man, just wait for the good news."

The Old Turtle nodded, "I'll just wait for your good news."

He paused for a moment and said, "I'll send you directly to Chujiang City. Once you destroy it, King Zhuanlun will naturally appear."

As the Old Turtle was about to activate his power to send Gao Xuan away, Gao Xuan suddenly exclaimed, "Wait a minute."

"Hmm?" The Old Turtle looked puzzled. Was this kid trying to back out?

Gao Xuan said, "Going into battle naked is too inconvenient. Old man, if you're going to help, help all the way; if you're going to send the Buddha, send him to the West. Give me a set of clothes."

Gao Xuan's body had reached the divine level, yet he couldn't conjure clothes out of thin air. That's a limitation of the body.

If his divine soul power had reached the divine level, even under the suppression of otherworldly laws, creating a set of clothes would be a piece of cake.

In fact, Gao Xuan could create a set now, but the clothes would only serve to cover his body and have no other use.

Facing King Zhuanlun and the powerful of the Ghost Prison Race, ordinary clothes couldn't even withstand his own exertion of power.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Box was of no help, and the Mechanical Combat Body was his ace; he couldn't bring it out. Besides, this world also had some suppression on the Mechanical Combat Body.

If the Mechanical Combat Body were truly shattered, it would take time to recover.

While Gao Xuan would never break a promise, it didn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation to gain some benefits.

The Old Turtle thought the same; it wouldn't look good for such a powerful figure like Gao Xuan to fight King Zhuanlun bare-bottomed.

He had already given the lotus seed of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, so giving a piece of clothing wasn't too much.

The Old Turtle pondered for a moment and threw a set of clothing to Gao Xuan: a deep yellow robe, and hemp shoes.

The robe's style was simple and unadorned, with long sleeves and a crossed collar, looking as if made from fine hemp material.

"I received this as a gift from an Arhat while listening to teachings at the foot of Ling Mountain."

The Old Turtle said, "After that, I refined it with Netherworld Water for five million years. This set of clothing is most resistant to all kinds of filth and is exceptionally difficult to destroy."

This set of clothing does have some history, but Old Turtle was quite apprehensive about the Buddhist Sect. After it was refined with Netherworld Water, its internal laws had long been altered.

Even so, the Old Turtle never wore it. His true form transformed itself with endless might and transformations, needing no such external enhancements.

In the end, this set of Netherworld Robe isn't of much use, and giving it to Gao Xuan was just right.

Gao Xuan donned it and felt it was quite a good fit.

At this level, his body truly reached the As Strong as Vajra level. He didn't need external protection. The Netherworld Robe was far more suitable than the Celestial Spirit Sword Robe.

As for underwear, he could easily transform a set to match; that was enough.

Gao Xuan tidied himself up, then hung the Hongyi Sword at his waist. He conjured a Water Mirror, suddenly falling silent as he looked at his reflection.

The Old Turtle thought something was amiss and asked, "What's wrong, any issues?"

"Just mesmerized by my own handsomeness. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe such a divine figure could exist in the world."

Gao Xuan shook his head and sighed in admiration.

This time, the Old Turtle fell silent. Having lived so long, he'd seen countless divine beings of the heavens, but he'd never met someone as narcissistic as Gao Xuan.

The Old Turtle didn't want to talk with Gao Xuan anymore. He opened his mouth and gently blew a breath.
