King of Assassins-Chapter 771 - 569. Flower of Desire

The Master of Desire was confident. She only had a strand of consciousness hidden within Mu Guofeng.

Even if Gao Xuan extinguished this strand of consciousness, it would barely harm her true form.

If Gao Xuan dared to enter the Negative Space to find her, she would welcome it.

She had managed her Divine Country in the Negative Space for millions of years; dealing with a mere human should be easy enough.

The Master of Desire maneuvered Mu Guofeng's hand to draw a circle, opening a circular deep hole in the space.

"This passage leads directly to my Divine Country. Do you dare to come?"

The Master of Desire was fearless, deliberately provoking Gao Xuan to see if he dared come to the Negative Space.

Gao Xuan glanced at the space passage, indeed directly leading to the Negative Space. But he couldn't clearly see what was on the other side.

The Negative Space was deep and vast, with negative energy a thousand times stronger than in the Positive Space. Hence, the Negative Space naturally bred so many Evil Gods.

With energy so overwhelmingly strong, even a trace of consciousness naturally wields great power, becoming innate Divines.

The Crimson Eye and other Evil Gods Gao Xuan had slain were of this kind.

The tiers of the Master of Blood and the Master of Desire were much higher. They could easily cross the barrier between Positive and Negative Spaces, absorb followers in intelligent life societies, and even use Divine Power to interfere with the laws of material in the Positive Space.

Though confident, Gao Xuan wouldn't rashly enter the Divine Country of the Master of Desire.

Not to mention how powerful the rules of her Divine Country were, merely the different energy laws of the Negative Space posed a great limitation to him.

Engaging in battle on someone else's home ground requires caution.

Gao Xuan had learned a painful lesson from Ksitigarbha King, becoming more cautious about such matters.

If that strike from Ksitigarbha King were within the Alliance territory, he wouldn't have suffered so miserably.

The Netherworld Realm and Abyss were Ksitigarbha King's domains. On his turf, one unit of power could yield tenfold results. Meanwhile, Gao Xuan's power would be suppressed.

This dynamic tipped the balance into disparity.

Moreover, Gao Xuan and Ksitigarbha King weren't on the same level to begin with.

Gao Xuan thought of the Finger Seal left by Ksitigarbha King on his Divine Soul and couldn't help but smile.

He said to the Master of Desire, "As an Evil God, you're not only cowardly and timid but also extremely ignorant."

The green light in Mu Guofeng's eye sockets flickered unsteadily; as the Master of Desire who indulged in desire, her temper was quite foul.

She provoked again, saying, "You talk big, do you dare to come!"

Gao Xuan smiled, "There's no need for such trouble. There's a good thing in my Divine Soul, I can share it with you so that you can see what a real Divine is like."

The Master of Desire sneered dismissively, "Your power is strong, but on the soul level, you know nothing."

"That's a line I should be saying. But it doesn't matter now."

Gao Xuan didn't mind the Master of Desire's arrogance; the more agitated she became, the easier it was for him to make a move.

The Master of Desire locked his mind with the Desire Chain, which Gao Xuan immediately noticed. However, he didn't resist, instead, he opened his mind to let the Desire Chain penetrate deeper.

While the Desire Chain locked onto him, Gao Xuan also used the Soul Chain to lock onto the Master of Desire. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Since the Desire Chain connected them both, this two-way connection on the level of Divine Souls was inherently complex, and since Gao Xuan didn't activate the Soul Chain, the Master of Desire didn't realize she was already locked by it.

It was only at this moment that Gao Xuan activated the Soul Chain.

The Master of Desire then realized something was wrong. Although skilled in manipulating souls, she didn't know how to undo the Soul Chain.

The Soul Chain tightly connected to her Divine Soul core, changing in extremely unique ways. She had never encountered such a thing.

Previously, to manipulate the Desire Chain and attack Gao Xuan, she had to use her true form's powerful Divine Power, and as a result, got locked by the Soul Chain.

Unable to unravel the Soul Chain, she panicked even more.

The Master of Desire sat on the Divine Throne in the Crystal Palace, in front of her danced hundreds of women of varying appearances and figures.

These women appeared half-translucent; they were all followers of the Master of Desire, with exceptionally high soul quality, accepted into her Divine Country.

Outside the Crystal Palace were men with various robust bodies. These individuals were hideously ugly, wielding various weapons.

These were also followers of the Master of Desire, who became extremely ugly due to indulging desires but retained strong combat power.

In her Divine Country, there were billions of such followers.

The Master of Desire's agitated emotions were amplified through her Divine Country, causing all her followers to feel uneasy.

Followers existed dependent on the Divine Country. Without its shelter, their souls would be immediately eroded by Negative Space energy, utterly destroyed.

Instinctively, all followers knelt and prayed, loudly extolling the Master of Desire.

These praises converted into Soul Power, continuously flowing towards the Master of Desire.

Every follower within the Divine Country was a tangible soul possessing powerful Divine Soul Power.

Through prayers of faith, the Master of Desire established connections with her followers, drawing upon their power.

Due to the urgency, the Master of Desire mobilized all followers in her Divine Country. Through the lines of faith, she forcibly bound all followers' souls to hers at that moment.

A single follower's Soul Power was insignificant. However, when the Soul Powers of billions of followers converged, it became exceedingly formidable.

With the support of a large number of followers, the Master of Desire's Divine Soul Power surged tenfold.

This greatly boosted the Master of Desire's confidence; how could she possibly lose within the Divine Country!

However, such a powerful Soul Power still couldn't break free from the invisible connection with Gao Xuan, which made the Master of Desire somewhat uneasy.

The Master of Desire pondered and decided to take the initiative to attack.

Since Gao Xuan had locked onto her Divine Soul, this connection was always two-way. Since she couldn't break free from Gao Xuan's lock, she decided to strike first.

The Master of Desire could not believe that a Low-tier Life could withstand her Divine Power.

The Master of Desire transformed the enormous gathered Soul Power into a Flower of Desire, planting it into Gao Xuan's Divine Soul through the wireless connection.

A seven-colored flower thus landed on Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.

Passion, lust, hunger, material desire, fame, power, and survival—these seven most powerful instinctual desires form the core of the desires of wise life forms.

As long as Gao Xuan remained a wise life form, he would inevitably have his own desires.

As the Flower of Desire bloomed, as long as Gao Xuan's instinctual desires were triggered, it would delve deep into his soul, entirely merging with it.

At that point, Gao Xuan's life or death would be at the whim of the Master of Desire.

The smooth landing of the Flower of Desire on Gao Xuan's Divine Soul also surprised the Master of Desire.

Nonetheless, the Master of Desire was immediately overjoyed.

No matter how strong Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was, it could hardly compare with the Soul Power gathered from millions of followers.

Furthermore, the Flower of Desire was her Divine Power Law core, also her strongest Divine Technique.

Relying on Gao Xuan, a Low-tier Life, to fight against her entire Divine Country? Absolutely impossible.

Of course, if it weren't for their tightly connected Divine Souls, she wouldn't be able to plant the Flower of Desire on Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.

Ultimately, it was Gao Xuan who sought his own death.

The Master of Desire didn't know what trick Gao Xuan might pull, but with the Soul Powers of countless followers gathered, she had also lost the ability to calmly think.

The souls of millions of followers were too mighty. At this point, the Master of Desire was on the verge of being overwhelmed by the boiling Soul Power, managing to control it barely, with no energy left to ponder too much.

As a Divine being that fed on faith, the Master of Desire spread her teachings to attract followers. Conversely, she was also affected by the Faith Power of countless followers.

The more followers, the stronger the Divine's power. Simultaneously, the stronger the constraint of the followers' Faith Power on the Divine.

This was inherently a process of mutual influence.

At the level of the Master of Desire, she was already firmly bound by the followers' faith.

The Master of Desire herself indulged in desire and had intense emotional fluctuations. Calm deliberation wasn't something she was supposed to do.

Even knowing these issues, the Master of Desire couldn't overcome them.

Through the Soul Chain, Gao Xuan could sense the Master of Desire's emotions, her Divine Country, and her Divine Power Law core.

Regarding the Flower of Desire conjured by the Master of Desire, Gao Xuan did not resist; he even hoped the Flower of Desire would be stronger.

The seven-colored petals symbolized the seven instinctual desires of living beings. The Flower of Desire itself was the manifestation of a living being's desires with an extremely unique aesthetic.

The seven-colored petals slowly opened, with the roots continuously penetrating into his Divine Soul.

Within a very short time, the roots divided by the Flower of Desire fell on the Ksitigarbha King's Finger Seal.

This half Finger Seal condensed with Ksitigarbha King's endless power, possessing an awe-inspiring, inviolable might.

The invasion by the Flower of Desire immediately triggered the limitless power within the Finger Seal.

The Finger Seal shone with countless subtle golden lights, and the seven-colored Flower of Desire silently shattered.

Then, the vast and limitless Ksitigarbha King's Divine Power followed the Soul Chain directly to the Master of Desire's Divine Soul.

Sitting on the Divine Throne, the Master of Desire's exquisitely beautiful face instantly became as pale as paper, and her infinitely beautiful body was trembling continuously.

Above her Divine Country, grand chanting echoed. The chanted Spell was completely unintelligible, yet the Spell was immensely profound and grand.

More terrifying, the Spell seemed to counter all desires and emotions.

In the depths of the Master of Desire's Divine Soul, the half-golden Finger Seal transformed into countless tiny golden lights, each seemingly a golden divine being chanting the Spell.

The Master of Desire felt her Divine Soul about to be crushed, and she uttered a desperate howl, mobilizing the souls of millions of followers for the final struggle.

If the Master of Desire did not resist, it would have been better; her move to unleash immense power instead provoked the golden Finger Seal.

The small golden Finger Seal suddenly expanded and pressed onto the Master of Desire's Divine Soul.

The mighty Master of Desire, under the Finger Seal, was like a tiny mosquito.

The Finger Seal radiated golden light, and both the Master of Desire's Divine Soul and body shattered together.

In the Negative Space, the enormous Divine Country covering millions of miles could be seen, with the millions of followers within the Divine Country silently collapsing alongside the Master of Desire.

Under the power of Ksitigarbha King, the Master of Desire was utterly defeated.

Upon the death of the Master of Desire, her Divine Country naturally collapsed. The souls of millions of followers were directly crushed by Ksitigarbha King's Divine Power.

Watching this battle through the Soul Chain, Gao Xuan felt a bit disappointed, "Boasting so much, yet this is all you can do, truly disappointing..."
