King of Assassins-Chapter 768 - 566: Gods Kill Gods
The Master of Blood was born from blood, naturally possessing a special sensitivity to the life blood.
In the long years of becoming a god, his divine realm power was blood, death, and destruction.
In terms of understanding and comprehension of blood, he considered no life equal to him.
The Master of Blood never thought he would stumble in his most familiar domain. Moreover, the opponent was just a mortal.
There was something wrong with that sword!
Although Gao Xuan's power was extremely formidable, his power path was very pure and clear. Obviously, he didn't have abilities in this respect.
Moreover, the curse that transcended the Source Power Law affected even him. This kind of power was incredibly bizarre.
The Master of Blood sensed the changes within himself and felt increasingly uneasy. This curse was triggered by blood but worked on the level of the divine soul.
Moreover, this curse seemed impossible to remove.
The Master of Blood had descended in his true form, and, as a dignified divine, naturally had several true forms. However, he only had one core of the divine soul.
The curse triggered by blood landed on his divine soul. Even with his Divine Power Law, it was hard to resist this curse.
The Master of Blood could see that a bloody red mark was branded on the core of his divine soul.
The Master of Blood exhausted all means but couldn't transfer it, realizing that the situation was gravely dire.
This curse could only be relieved by complete death. Although he is a divine, if his divine soul core died, he could not be resurrected.
The more powerful the life, the harder it is to resurrect. It's actually a very simple truth.
The Master of Blood even felt a trace of fear, for even divines are life forms and have an acute fear of death.
When intelligent beings fear, their soul power becomes fully unleashed. This is also why he prefers bloodshed and destruction.
The soul in this state is the most succulent and delicious.
When it's his turn to endure the fear of death, the taste becomes unbearable.
A flicker of black light, and Gao Xuan already appeared opposite the Master of Blood.
Gao Xuan was clad in black metal armor, with eight arm blades on his back resembling mechanical arms. The arm blades were symmetrically arranged like a pair of wings, exhibiting a strong mechanical beauty.
In Gao Xuan's hand, he held a dark gold long spear.
Whether it was Gao Xuan's black metal armor or the dark gold long spear he held, both exuded an aura of indomitable power.
The Master of Blood gazed deeply at Gao Xuan: "I underestimated you, you hide really deeply."
The Master of Blood, with his long life, had been paying attention to Gao Xuan for a long time. He thought he had seen through Gao Xuan about seventy to eighty percent.
As for the remaining twenty percent, it wouldn't change the overall situation.
Only after making a move did he realize he had only seen one or two points of Gao Xuan's power.
Just like the bizarre metal armor before him, it possessed unique power laws. Even with his divine power, he couldn't discern the true might of the armor.
Moreover, Gao Xuan's formidable body couldn't be harmed by the Blade of Death. It was simply terrifying.
The Master of Blood hid behind the scenes, thinking he had arranged everything meticulously. It turned out that he was the one being plotted against.
He couldn't understand at all, Gao Xuan being less than forty years old—such a transient life seemed insignificant.
Yet such a short life had refined such terrifying power. That blood-glowing divine sword was simply made for him.
The Master of Blood was of mixed feelings, actually defeated by such a fleeting life. It was truly unbelievable!
He was silent for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion."
Before Gao Xuan could speak, the Master of Blood said, "You lift my curse, and I vow to never enter the Alliance again."
Gao Xuan chuckled lightly, "Why should I let you go?"
"If I die, I'll leave a divine fire mark here."
The Master of Blood stated seriously, "When you reach this level, you should understand that in the positive and negative cosmos there are numerous divines and powerful life-form races. A divine fire mark is a lighthouse in the cosmos, attracting divines and various powerful life-form races from all directions."
He told Gao Xuan, "Not mentioning elsewhere, just the negative space hosts countless divines. For so many years, it has been my many divines blocking the Alliance space, allowing humanity to prosper in peace."
"Ha ha…"
Gao Xuan laughed, "In that case, you are our humanity's guardian spirit."
"The Alliance is my territory, so naturally, I need to guard it. Though I harvest souls in the Alliance, it is what I deserve."
The Master of Blood said, "There is no good or evil in this, only pros and cons."
The Master of Blood paused and continued, "Now you've won, and I'll give you the territory. That is also quite reasonable."
"I would agree, but the lost souls wouldn't agree."
Gao Xuan said indifferently, "You should just die."
The Master of Blood knew that Gao Xuan's mind was made up, and nothing more could be said. He tilted his head back in a silent roar, his divine soul converting into pure divine fire burning fiercely.
In an instant, the Master of Blood transformed into a blazing blood-colored flame.
The deep blue starry sky was illuminated by the blood-colored flames, even the intangible space law collapsing within the fire.
The source power filling the void was ignited by the blood-colored flames.
The rigorous source power laws of the Pegasus Star Realm were unable to suppress this blaze.
From Gao Xuan's point of view, the source power of the entire star realm was ignited.
The divine fire could not harm Gao Xuan, but the Master of Blood, knowing he had no way to live, converted all his soul into divine fire to leave a spatial coordinate in the Pegasus Star Realm.
The blood-colored sword light flashed again, with the sharp blade piercing through the divine soul of the Master of Blood. It absorbed all the divine fire he ignited into the sword's edge.
The divine fire igniting the endless Sea of Source Power was extinguished instantly.
Enclosed within the Godslaying Sword, Master of Blood was not immediately dead, able to sense the core law of the Godslaying Sword rapidly absorbing his power, and indeed, his power matched perfectly with the Godslaying Sword.
At the demise of his divine soul, the Master of Blood sent his final spiritual message to Gao Xuan: I still have the Alliance's spatial coordinates in the negative space; after my death, these coordinates will transmit to other divines, and humanity will surely accompany me to extinction…
"It doesn't matter, gods come, I'll slay gods; demons come, I'll slay demons."
Gao Xuan replied calmly, "What a pity," but the Master of Blood, whose divine soul was completely devoured by the Godslaying Sword, could no longer hear.
Gao Xuan's gaze swept towards the starry sky ahead. The Celestial Dragon Eye allowed him to see the assembled fleet millions of miles away.
Even at this point, the Pegasus Star's Space Fortress had yet to issue any warnings.
Undoubtedly, there was a problem with the Space Fortress's commander. Possibly an Evil God's believer, or maybe forcibly controlled by an Evil God.
That was inconsequential. It could be investigated after the fact.
Gao Xuan discovered this fleet, and the fleet also discovered Gao Xuan.
The massive assembled fleet naturally had all sorts of unmanned reconnaissance drones and miniature radar scanning sensors, among others.
With a distance of millions of kilometers, using quantum information transmission technology, the information ahead could be transmitted to the fleet without delay.
The fleet's chief commander, Wali, was observing Gao Xuan through the screen ahead.
The divine fire transformed during the death of the Master of Blood just now was directly displayed on the screen. However, the battle between the two sides was too swift, and various radars and sensors could not scan the level of Source Power.
Merely watching the changes in images did not reveal much.
As the current Clan Leader of the Odin Family, Wali had always harbored resentment against Gao Xuan. But given Gao Xuan's overwhelming presence, knowing he was no match, he could only endure in silence.
This time the Master of Blood and the Master of Desire approached him together, and Wali was immediately persuaded.
Although the Odin lineage no longer had top masters, their massive fleet still remained.
In a place like the Pegasus Star Realm, an assembled fleet undoubtedly had the strongest combat power.
Gao Xuan had once defeated a powerful fleet with his sword alone. But that was in the Central Star Realm, where there lay endless Source Power.
In the Pegasus Star Realm, a Golden Powerhouse was not much stronger than a Tenth-level Swordsman.
The major Evil Gods worked together to forcibly breach the space channel, allowing Wali to lead the fleet directly to the Pegasus Star Realm.
The Master of Blood and the Master of Shadows acted first, intending to test Gao Xuan's depth. If truly unmatched, they would entangle Gao Xuan, creating an opportunity for the fleet to strike.
Yet, in less than a minute, it seemed the Master of Blood was killed.
Wali was a burly man with thick facial hair and small but fierce gray-blue eyes.
Seeing the screen display of the Master of Blood being killed, he glanced at the beautiful woman beside him.
This woman, with golden hair and blue eyes, was stunningly beautiful, dressed in an elegant blue gown. Even when she stood still and silent, her features naturally exuded endless allure.
Anyone seeing this woman would be inevitably drawn to her beauty. This woman was named Lis, yet she was the embodiment of the Master of Desire.
This time, only Lis descended as an incarnation among the two divine entities.
The Master of Desire, unlike the other two divine beings, preferred people to indulge their desires.
This doctrine was widely spread among the Noble Families, with a large following, being very secretive and less harmful.
While the Holy Hall cracked down harshly on Evil Gods, the Master of Desire was greatly affected. However, compared to the other two Evil Gods, she had much more room for survival.
The Master of Desire, although resentful of Gao Xuan, saw no need to face off against him in person.
The Master of Shadows and the Master of Blood were different. If they didn't eliminate Gao Xuan soon, within a hundred years, the religions created by these two divine entities would be completely eradicated.
Therefore, the Master of Shadows and the Master of Blood were the most active and diligent; the Master of Desire was a step behind.
However, seeing the Master of Blood killed and his divine fire extinguished by Gao Xuan made the Master of Desire a bit fearful.
The Master of Shadows was also dead, fallen to a punch from Gao Xuan. The sensor captured Gao Xuan's punch clearly.
In the Master of Desire's perception, the essences of the Master of Shadows and the Master of Blood vanished completely.
But with the fleet mobilized, she was unwilling to let it go without trying.
The Master of Desire said to Wali, "Fire the main cannon and attack together."
Wali was somewhat astonished, "At a distance of millions of kilometers, the main cannon can't possibly hit Gao Xuan."
Even a lightspeed antimatter star-killing bomb would take dozens of seconds to hit a target millions of miles away.
Let alone Gao Xuan, even a battleship on the other side would have a chance to avoid the main cannon's attack. What meaning does such an attack have?
"Lock onto Gao Xuan and attack; if he dodges, it'll blast Pegasus Star. There are tens of billions of people on Pegasus Star, including Gao Xuan's group of relatives and friends,"
The Master of Desire spoke leisurely, "I guess Gao Xuan won't dodge."
Wali frowned, "Gao Xuan is ruthless and won't sacrifice himself to block the main cannon."
The Master of Desire sneered, "Gao Xuan has seen you; do you think you can escape? Now, only by trying can we have a way out."
She reassured, "As long as he takes the main cannon head-on, I will attack his divine soul, and we'll definitely have a chance to kill him!"
Seeing Wali still hesitating, the Master of Desire felt slightly impatient, "At this stage, do you still have any choice?"
Wali realized that retreat meant certain death, advancing carried a sliver of hope. There was no choice but to fight.
He immediately issued an order, "Attention 02, 03, and 04 ships, target Gao Xuan with the main cannon, attack immediately!"
This assembled fleet had four main battleships, each able to fire antimatter star-killing shells with its main cannon.
Only such a main cannon could smash a planet with one shot.
Antimatter star-killing shells were costly, requiring massive energy to fire. The ship's protective force field had to be deactivated.
In a desperate attempt to annihilate Gao Xuan, Wali was going all out.
From Gao Xuan's standing position, if he evaded, the four antimatter star-killing shells would inevitably hit Pegasus Star.
Pegasus Star might withstand one impact, but four would surely cause it to explode.
But at this point, there was no turning back. Wali had no mind for the fate of Pegasus Star.
The main cannons on the four main battleships had long been prepared, and upon Wali's command, they fired almost simultaneously.
The main cannons, with bores over two meters in diameter, suddenly shook, propelling the antimatter shells at light speed.
Masses of intense electrical light enveloped the tens-of-meters-long antimatter shells, tearing through the deep starry sky, hurtling towards that tiny target millions of miles away.
