King of Assassins-Chapter 754 - 557: Cheating
The enormous Divine Realm transformed from the Life and Death Wheel directly trapped Gao Xuan.
The King Zhuanlun, having learned his lesson from last time, knew that Gao Xuan's Divine Soul had achieved Primordial Unity, making it difficult for the Life and Death Wheel to shake his Divine Soul.
Therefore, this time he exerted his full power from the start.
The Divine Realm converted by the Life and Death Wheel is a closed space created from the Life and Death Law, limitless inside and boundless outside.
No matter how strong Gao Xuan's Horizontal Unbreakable Training is, he cannot unravel the Life and Death Wheel Law and has nowhere to exert his force.
Over time, under the erosion of the Life and Death Law, Gao Xuan can naturally be annihilated.
The Life and Death Wheel is originally a powerful Divine Artifact given to King Zhuanlun by a powerhouse and is the foundation of his control over the Wuman Realm.
An enormously powerful being like Old Turtle didn't dare to face him directly, out of fear of the Life and Death Wheel in his hands.
The three heads of the King Zhuanlun chanted in unison while his six arms continuously formed Hand Seals.
Although the Divine Realm transformed by the Life and Death Wheel is useful, it requires constant activation to maintain its operation. Once the Life and Death Wheel traps Gao Xuan, it cannot be used for anything else.
If Old Turtle were to emerge and make a move now, King Zhuanlun would not have a good solution.
However, that Old Turtle is too cautious. He doesn't have the guts to make a direct move.
The low-chant of spells from King Zhuanlun echoed throughout the entire Wuman Realm, and all the Ghost Prison Clan heard his voice.
Driven by the instinct in their bloodline, billions of Ghost Prison Clan members knelt to chant the name of King Zhuanlun at this moment.
As a species created by King Zhuanlun from the Netherworld, the soul power of the lower-level Ghost Prison Clan is very weak. This is also determined by the innate traits of this species.
However, the number of Ghost Prison Clan members is too large. The countless Ghost Prison Clan kneeling in chant established a connection between their Divine Souls, King Zhuanlun, and the Life and Death Wheel.
Through this invisible connection, each Ghost Prison Clan provides a bit of Power to the Life and Death Wheel.
The collective power of countless Ghost Prison Clan members causes the power of the Life and Death Wheel to continuously ascend.
As the host, King Zhuanlun could clearly see the Light of Spirit offered by the Ghost Prison Clan gathering like an ocean, its brilliance as bright as the sun.
By burning these Spiritual Powers, the black and white Life and Death Wheel continuously spun and contracted.
The black-and-white colors of the Life and Death Wheel, under the addition of countless Spiritual Powers, slowly transformed into pure black.
White represents life, while black represents death.
When the Life and Death Wheel completely transforms into pure black, the condensed Death Power will be enough to kill even the Divine.
No matter how formidable Gao Xuan's Primordial Unity is, he cannot withstand the grasp of the Life and Death Wheel.
At this moment, Meng Po also arrived.
Meng Po held up her small bowl high, and her Meng Po's Soup surged into the Life and Death Divine Realm like a Celestial River.
Meng Po's Soup is also derived from Netherworld Water. After refining and extracting, it acquires the essence of Netherworld Water, gaining the Power to bewilder and intoxicate even gods and demons.
Although trapped in the Life and Death Divine Realm, Meng Po's Soup couldn't be directly poured into Gao Xuan's mouth. Yet, the soup surrounding him could confound Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.
Even a hint of its Power was great assistance to King Zhuanlun.
Meng Po knew well of Gao Xuan's prowess; last time, even after he drank Meng Po's Soup and bore the Rebirth Order, he managed to return unscathed and undefeated.
This time, she would not allow Gao Xuan to escape.
While urging her Meng Po's Soup, Meng Po suddenly sensed something amiss. Following that, a crack abruptly appeared in the Life and Death Divine Realm as deep and eerie as an abyss.
The turbulent, river-like Meng Po's Soup silently split apart. At the same time, a shimmering stream of light appeared deep within her eyes.
Meng Po, sensing danger, raised her bowl to block. The shimmering stream of light quietly pierced through the bowl and shot straight into Meng Po's brow.
The unparalleled sharpness of the Sword Light also split Meng Po's endless sea of consciousness, deeply stabbing into her Divine Soul.
Meng Po's Divine Soul began to whirl and change instantly; she had control over parts of the Life and Death Law. Normally, as long as King Zhuanlun lived, she would not die.
But this Sword Light was unimaginably sharp, forcibly severing her Law's link with King Zhuanlun, cutting off her Divine Soul's life force, and shattering the Divine Power core deep within her soul.
Meng Po's Divine Soul let out an unwilling, piercing scream of anguish, then shattered and was destroyed in the Sword Light completely.
King Zhuanlun watched this clearly from the side but was powerless to save Meng Po as Gao Xuan's single sword broke even the Life and Death Wheel Law.
Meng Po was slain, her Divine Light extinguished, and even her imprint on this world was erased.
Although King Zhuanlun possessed the ability to Spin the Life and Death Wheel, Meng Po's Divine Soul Mark was gone, leaving him unable to resurrect her.
No matter how much Divine Power he used to recreate Meng Po, it would merely be a separate, independent life.
King Zhuanlun had no mood to consider these matters at this moment; if not even the Life and Death Divine Realm could constrain Gao Xuan, then things were vexing.
Opposite him stood Gao Xuan, clad in a plain hemp yellow robe, holding the Hongyi Sword as clear as autumn water. His stance was leisurely and carefree, his clothing fluttering without wind, truly like an Immortal arrived through Sword Control.
Having cleaved through the Life and Death Wheel with a single sword and slain Meng Po, Gao Xuan also needed a moment to adjust. It wasn't deliberately posing.
The three heads of King Zhuanlun simultaneously looked towards Gao Xuan, expressions shifting unpredictably across their three faces—anger, shock, confusion, ferocity, violence, indifference. These complicated and contradictory emotions were clearly expressed.
The broken Life and Death Wheel also returned to King Zhuanlun's back.
The black and white, flowing, wheel-like Life and Death Wheel had a curved crack right in the center. Despite the flow of black and white Divine Light, this crack could not be mended.
With a single sword, Gao Xuan unexpectedly injured the Law of the Life and Death Wheel.
King Zhuanlun was silent for a while, and the expressions on his three faces became uniformly cold and stern.
He said to Gao Xuan, "You are very powerful, but this is not a place where you can act recklessly. Even a mighty being like Old Turtle must withdraw to avoid confrontation. How do you compare to Old Turtle?"
The voice of King Zhuanlun, a blend of three tones, was extremely layered, though it was particularly unpleasant to hear.
Gao Xuan had by now adapted to King Zhuanlun's voice. He grinned, baring his teeth, "You're scared!"
Without waiting for King Zhuanlun to speak, Gao Xuan continued on his own, "Since you're scared, just accept your death obediently. My sword is swift and causes no pain."
King Zhuanlun was silent for a moment, "It's still not too late if you turn around and leave now."
"If we're not on the same page, spare the nonsense. Watch my sword."
Gao Xuan raised the Hongyi Sword, and the serene and mirror-like sword light instantly covered all directions.
The endless pure sword light transformed into a deep, dark abyss, and even though King Zhuanlun was within it, he felt as if he was falling into an endless abyss.
It wasn't divine techniques, nor the power of a divine artifact, but a law transformed by sword intent...
King Zhuanlun, after all, a divine being, immediately recognized it as a sword domain transformed by sword intent.
It's similar to the Life and Death Wheel Divine Realm, except the sword domain is entirely transformed by sword intent. In terms of power, it doesn't match up to the Life and Death Wheel, but its flexibility and adaptability far surpass it.
King Zhuanlun was somewhat surprised; he didn't realize Gao Xuan's Sword Dao was so formidable. It had almost reached the realm of swordsmanship achieving divine level mastery.
Such a person is truly a peerless genius.
King Zhuanlun couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He had ruled the Wuman Realm for millions of years yet never encountered such an exceptional individual.
Though divine beings are strong, they are bound by their divine laws. In some aspects, they are less capable than other beings with higher potential limits.
King Zhuanlun merely sighed, unable to discern the transformations in Gao Xuan's swordsmanship, nor comprehend the laws evolved from sword intent.
However, as a divine being, he didn't need to cultivate martial arts techniques. He had his own divine techniques.
King Zhuanlun held different Dharma Seals in each of his six hands, and the Life and Death Wheel behind him expanded again, completely enveloping him.
King Zhuanlun did not seek to injure his enemy; he only used the Life and Death Wheel to protect himself.
No matter how divine Gao Xuan's swordsmanship is, it still has to first break through the Life and Death Wheel. Although he had once cut through the Life and Death Wheel, that was because Gao Xuan escaped from inside, making it somewhat easier.
This time, he personally presided from within the Life and Death Wheel, making the situation different.
Even if Gao Xuan could break the Life and Death Wheel, he had divine techniques to subdue Gao Xuan. It's just that the cost was too high, and he was unwilling to use it unless absolutely necessary.
The strongest divine technique could only be used once, even if killing Gao Xuan would not be worth the price.
King Zhuanlun weighed the pros and cons and still didn't want to risk everything with Gao Xuan. He had ruled over the Wuman Realm for millions of years, governed countless citizens, and held the great power of the Life and Death Wheel.
King Zhuanlun had an almost endless lifespan; no matter who the enemy was, he was unwilling to risk his life. He also lacked the determination and courage to do so.
Besides, what gain was there in killing Gao Xuan?
Unfortunately, Gao Xuan was too foolish. Even when he had voluntarily retreated a step, the opponent was still aggressively pressing his luck.
King Zhuanlun did not want to fight for his life, but Gao Xuan didn't think that way.
Facing the circulating Life and Death Wheel, Gao Xuan straightened his sword and cut down. The Profound Nether Curse Sea inside the Hongyi Sword could fully exert its power in the Netherworld Realm.
Gao Xuan comprehended the Netherworld Sword, breaking through the final layer of window paper. This significantly increased his divine soul power, allowing him to enter the divine level domain.
From this perspective, Gao Xuan had attained enlightenment through the sword. Therefore, he was already capable of reluctantly controlling the Profound Nether Curse Sea.
Gao Xuan's direct slash, although not his full strength, couldn't be blocked by the Life and Death Wheel.
The sharp blade of the Hongyi Sword slashed down, silently splitting open the Life and Death Wheel. Behind it, King Zhuanlun had a deep sword mark appear in the center of his forehead.
In King Zhuanlun's crimson eyes, there was even an imprint of a bright and clear sword light.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The other two faces of King Zhuanlun showed expressions of shock and fear, but soon enough, the clear and bright sword light also appeared in their eyes.
Gao Xuan elegantly sheathed his sword, "Done for the day."
He then said to King Zhuanlun, "Alright, you can exit the stage as well."
King Zhuanlun's three faces seemed to want to say something, but not a word came out. His body silently cracked and disintegrated, finally breaking apart into silent fine golden powder.
Gao Xuan was about to leave with a flick of his sleeve but suddenly felt a sense of danger.
The gold powder, scattered in the sky, suddenly flowed in reverse, and in an instant, condensed back into the golden body of King Zhuanlun—a three-headed, six-armed figure.
The sword light in King Zhuanlun's eyes quickly dimmed and disappeared, and the sword mark on his forehead rapidly healed.
Standing before King Zhuanlun, Gao Xuan also involuntarily cooperated with him. He withdrew his smile, drew his sheathed sword again, and then swung it backward to retreat…
It was as if time had reversed, and the scene of the showdown between King Zhuanlun and Gao Xuan just now was replayed backward, finally winding back to the moment when Gao Xuan had just grasped the sword hilt.
Only at this point could Gao Xuan control his body.
King Zhuanlun, opposite him, looked deeply at Gao Xuan, his three pairs of eyes all carrying an indescribable eeriness.
Gao Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Time reversal, No way, really?"
He said to King Zhuanlun, "Don't you know it's really hard to deal with you!"
King Zhuanlun didn't speak; at some point, he held the Rebirth Order in his hand.
The Rebirth Order, like a round stone, suddenly glowed intensely bright, then violently exploded into a burst of unparalleled divine light.
When the divine light dissipated, the King Zhuanlun standing in front of Gao Xuan remained unchanged. However, on Gao Xuan's left and right sides, there were now two more King Zhuanluns.
The two newly appeared King Zhuanluns also held Life and Death Wheels in their hands.
All three of King Zhuanlun's faces simultaneously displayed sinister smiles, "Surprised, aren't you? I used the Rebirth Order to summon two entities from my past and future. Dying under such peerless divine techniques is indeed your honor."
Gao Xuan replied irritably, "It's one thing to respawn, but to also duplicate yourself—you're really playing dirty!"
