King of Assassins-Chapter 733 - 543: Forcibly Escaping

The divine intent of King Zhuanlun descended, and the gigantic golden statue immediately came to life, becoming a real living entity.

It had flesh and skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs. With each breath, an endless power of blood qi circulated.

This transformation seemed simple, but it was, in fact, extremely complex, touching upon the realm of life creation.

Although Gao Xuan's body had advanced to divine level, it only had destructive power. Which meant he was strong in fights, but in other aspects, he was far behind a Divine.

Seeing the statue transform from an inanimate object to a living creature, Gao Xuan was quite shocked. Such a technique indeed could not be judged by common sense.

The divine soul power exhibited by King Zhuanlun further imposed direct suppression on Gao Xuan, proving the vast gap between them on the level of divine souls.

Honestly speaking, the formidable strength of King Zhuanlun exceeded Gao Xuan's predictions. Because King Zhuanlun had animated the statue to become his body, it possessed immense power.

Moreover, it didn't stop there.

Under Gao Xuan's gaze, the over two hundred meters tall body of King Zhuanlun kept shrinking, and in the blink of an eye, he had become as tall as Gao Xuan.

King Zhuanlun's body had shrunk a hundredfold, becoming extremely condensed and rigid simultaneously.

Standing before Gao Xuan, King Zhuanlun, with three heads and six arms, held none of the various implements in his hands, yet the power his body exhibited had obviously multiplied several times.

Gao Xuan secretly compared; the opponent's body was not inferior to his. The key was that King Zhuanlun had a powerful divine soul with countless divine techniques.

If there was no advantage in body, the chance of victory was too small.

Gao Xuan already had the idea of retreat in his heart; this King Zhuanlun was much more formidable than he had imagined, and the Six-winged Celestial Cicada simultaneously issued a warning.

As an assassin, Gao Xuan would only battle an enemy head-on if he had absolute confidence. Hence, he used the simplest and most direct approach.

Faced with a strong enemy, Gao Xuan would not foolishly charge in directly.

Gao Xuan also saw that although the methods of King Zhuanlun were indeed miraculous, they were a one-time expenditure of millions of years of accumulated faith power to reforge a powerful divine body at the divine level.

Simply put, it was a one-time temporary divine technique. After some time had passed, the temporarily condensed divine body was bound to collapse.

This was also very normal.

Attaining a powerful divine body at the divine level is not so easy to achieve. Gao Xuan's horizontal training indestructible golden body was also forged through thousands of tribulations and hardships.

If one could just casually refine a statue into a divine body, King Zhuanlun would have already been invincible in the world.

As long as he evaded for a period, waiting for King Zhuanlun's condensed divine body to dissipate, it wouldn't be too late to come back for King Zhuanlun.

Gao Xuan conceived the intention to retreat, and immediately retreated swiftly without hesitation.

With his current strength, the spatial barriers of the Netherworld Realm were nothing more than a piece of thin paper. However, he could not rush into the Star River Cosmos in front of King Zhuanlun.

If he accidentally led King Zhuanlun over, it would be a major problem.

Anyway, as long as he first escaped the Netherworld Realm, King Zhuanlun couldn't do anything to him.

As Gao Xuan retreated, he exerted force all around him, easily tearing through the invisible spatial barrier, colliding to produce a deep spatial rift behind him.

Gao Xuan himself didn't know which space this spatial rift led to, but no matter the world opposite, by relying on his indestructible golden body, he wouldn't encounter any danger.

Once he reached a safe place, he could reset coordinates with the soul chain to return to the Star River Cosmos.

Gao Xuan planned very well, but King Zhuanlun was faster and stronger than Gao Xuan.

The deep spatial rift had just appeared, and behind King Zhuanlun, a halo floated.

The black and white contrasting halo looked very much like a Tai Chi Diagram, except without the spots of lesser yin and yang.

The revolving black and white halo radiated, and Gao Xuan felt a heaviness upon him, as if he were subdued by an invisible mountain.

The horizontal training indestructible golden body, which dominated the ancient, was forcibly suppressed.

The appearing spatial rift also quickly healed under the illumination of the black and white halo.

Gao Xuan's Celestial Dragon Eye could clearly see black and white interwoven laws forming a stable domain, firmly trapping him in its center.

The black law brimming with death power, while the white law was full of vitality and energy.

The intertwining of life and death laws formed an endless, beginningless, and seamless cycle of perfection.

This domain naturally constituted a circle without any gap or flaw. Within this circle, life and death were encompassed.

Gao Xuan felt somewhat troubled by such a divine technique, as this was precisely his weak point.

If King Zhuanlun engaged him directly, he had the confidence to teach the other a lesson. But coming right out with a life and death wheel, he could only passively respond.

Yet, his indestructible golden body was strong; the life and death laws of the wheel could contain him, but they couldn't control his life and death.

Gao Xuan sensed the changes in the life and death laws; although this thing was profound and mysterious, it could be broken by force.

He merely needed to identify the weak spot in the changes of the life and death wheel; randomly applying force would only expose his weaknesses.

Having trapped Gao Xuan, King Zhuanlun then spoke: "You have the strong scent of the Netherworld on you; were you sent by Old Turtle?"

Only his mouth moved when King Zhuanlun spoke, yet there were high, middle, and low three voice tones. Therefore, his voice sounded very special, filled with indescribable mystical power.

"You know Old Turtle?"

Gao Xuan grinned: "That's right, I was sent by Old Turtle. Are you afraid?"

Old Turtle wanted him to be a pawn, and he was willing, but he had no obligation to keep secrets for Old Turtle.

Besides, since King Zhuanlun already recognized it, keeping it a secret wasn't of much use.

King Zhuanlun's eyes were deep as he contemplated for a moment before saying, "If you pledge allegiance to me, I can forgive your offense."

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised; how come this Divine now had a fondness for talent? He nodded, "As expected of King Zhuanlun, you have a good eye."

He paused and then said, "Sorry, I can't tolerate being bound."

King Zhuanlun's three heads spun, and the angry face shouted at Gao Xuan, "At this point, you have no other choice. Either die or obey me."

"Haha..."

Gao Xuan laughed, "I don't see it that way."

The Life and Death Wheel is very formidable, but he still has the Hongyi Sword. Even if he can't kill King Zhuanlun, breaking through the Life and Death domain and leaving is still achievable.

King Zhuanlun's angry face grew even more furious, "Though you've achieved the Divine Body, your Divine Soul is extremely weak. What right do you have to act presumptuous before me?"

The triple-layered voice was both deep, high-pitched, and low, and it continually resonated with the Life and Death Law.

For a moment, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was filled with the roars of King Zhuanlun.

Fortunately, with the battle armor of the Mechanical Battle Cicada arming his Divine Soul, Gao Xuan, though irritated, could withstand King Zhuanlun's attack.

Seeing Gao Xuan's composed expression, King Zhuanlun turned his head, switching to another ferocious face.

"Vile creature, dare to offend the supreme Divine, you deserve death, deserve death, deserve death!"

Since Gao Xuan would not submit, King Zhuanlun was no longer polite; each of his three faces represented a different Power.

The solemn face represented Divine Power, the angry face represented Power, and the ferocious face represented Destruction.

King Zhuanlun kept transforming, also searching for Gao Xuan's Power weaknesses.

He noticed that Gao Xuan's Divine Soul Power was a weak point, but various Divine Techniques he used could not shake Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.

Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was slightly weaker, but it was protected by the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, not something external force could easily destroy. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Moreover, Gao Xuan's Horizontal Training Indestructible Golden Body was not a sham. Though the Primordial Unity was slightly short of Perfection, the fusion of Divine Soul and body made it challenging to damage his Divine Soul alone.

If he didn't have this confidence, Gao Xuan wouldn't dare come to kill King Zhuanlun.

The ferocious King Zhuanlun's explosive Power was exceptionally violent. His roars grew increasingly high-pitched.

Like an extremely sharp spike, it pierced deep into Gao Xuan's Divine Soul, trying to poke thousands of holes into it.

In this state, Gao Xuan could only internalize his Divine Soul, striving to become one with his body in Primordial Unity.

Gao Xuan knew that as long as he urged the Hongyi Sword and activated the Heaven and Water Sword Intent, he could naturally break King Zhuanlun's attack.

However, King Zhuanlun hadn't truly exerted his strength. He needed to keep a back-up plan to adapt.

So far, Gao Xuan had not found the flaw in the Life and Death Wheel.

It must be said that King Zhuanlun was indeed a powerful Divine. More formidable than the Master of Blood.

King Zhuanlun's roars were piercing and vicious, causing Gao Xuan great discomfort, yet he did not forget to mock his opponent, "Your high pitch isn't bad, can it go any higher?"

The specific content of Gao Xuan's words was not important, what mattered was his sharp sarcasm. This made King Zhuanlun extremely angry.

The ferocious face was inherently one of his three Divinities, under this Divine lead, King Zhuanlun wouldn't rationally think.

Stimulated by Gao Xuan, the Life and Death Wheel behind King Zhuanlun spun even faster.

The rotating Life and Death Law, like a spinning blade wheel, continually lashed at Gao Xuan's Divine Soul and body.

Gao Xuan's Horizontal Training Golden Body confronted the Life and Death Wheel, with streaming light continuously flashing on the Golden Body. This was an anomaly from the collision of Law and Golden Body.

The enraged King Zhuanlun became increasingly dangerous. But, in this state, King Zhuanlun was more likely to expose weaknesses.

Gao Xuan, although uncomfortable, could barely endure, waiting for the opportunity to strike with full force.

Just at this time, a black-dressed woman with a pretty face quietly approached Gao Xuan, "You're tired, have a bowl of soup."

As she spoke, the black-dressed woman poured a bowl of clear soup for Gao Xuan from a small pitcher.

Gao Xuan became alert, "Isn't this Meng Po? This is Meng Po's Soup! How can I drink this!"

"However, why am I so thirsty?"

"This bowl of soup looks pretty good?"

"Tasting it shouldn't hurt..."

Gao Xuan's mind blurred, somehow he picked up the bowl and took a sip.

As the warm soup hit his throat, Gao Xuan immediately felt something was wrong. Trying to spit it out, the soup had already disappeared.

"Damn..."

Gao Xuan was speechless too, if not most of his Power used to resist King Zhuanlun, how could he be fooled by such tricks.

Awakened now, it was a little late. Meng Po's move had no direct lethality, not even any direct harm.

Therefore, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada showed no reaction.

Gao Xuan knew he could not wait any longer, although Meng Po's Soup posed no direct harm, there would certainly be other moves to follow.

He held the hilt of the Hongyi Sword, about to invoke the Ripple Sword within the Water Heaven Sword.

The Ripple Sword among the Four Swords of Heaven and Water was the fastest and sharpest, also the most agile. To forcefully break the Life and Death Wheel with this sword, he had about a fifty percent chance.

King Zhuanlun also realized Gao Xuan was about to act, he held a translucent stone in his hand and threw it at Gao Xuan.

In an instant, Gao Xuan noticed numerous illusions flickering within the stone, but this could not stop him from drawing the Hongyi Sword.

In the black and white Life and Death Wheel domain appeared a shimmering flowing water light, and a tiny rift tore open in the air.

Without hesitation, Gao Xuan merged his body with the sword, transforming into a streak of sword light and plunging into that deep rift.

Immediately, Gao Xuan saw nothing but darkness, as if falling into an endless abyss.
