King of Assassins-Chapter 947 - 660: The Gap

The Holy Hall has been constructing on Xianyang Star for a thousand years, setting up countless arrays. The entire Xianyang Star has even been transformed into a massive magical artifact.

Deep underground on Xianyang Star, there's also the Nine Provinces Cauldron controlled by Qin Shiyue.

As one of the Thirty-six Divine Envoys of the Holy Hall, Huo Wuming holds very high authority on Xianyang Star.

Many arrays and Divine Realms unfold densely, providing protection to Huo Wuming without restricting his power.

The Holy Hall's enemies, on the other hand, are suppressed by layers of arrays.

When Huo Wuming activated the Sun-cutting Divine Sword, the blazing and sharp Sword Light spread in all directions. Enhanced by various arrays, his Sword Light Domain was significantly strengthened, bringing his personal combat power to an unprecedented peak.

Huo Wuming was also fully confident, thinking, no matter who this person is on the other side, even if it really is Gao Xuan reincarnated, so what?

The era has changed, and so has the world. Gao Xuan can only be a dead Divine Emperor; no strong figure in the Holy Hall can accept a living Divine Emperor.

Even if Gao Xuan comes back to life, he must die again!

Huo Wuming knew that many Saints in the Holy Hall were paying attention to this battle, including several of the true leaders of the Holy Hall who were also watching.

At this moment, he certainly had to bring out all his abilities and show his best state.

However, the Gao Xuan opposite him, his aura was long and calm as if completely unaffected by the blazing, sharp Sword Light Divine Domain of the Sun-cutting Divine Sword.

Huo Wuming didn't want to waste time; he urged the Divine Sword, intending to kill the opponent with powerful force, but no matter how strong the Sword Light was, he could never find a direction to strike.

Gao Xuan was not an illusion, yet he could never grasp the opponent's position. Even the Yuan Youyuan beside Gao Xuan could not be accurately pinpointed by him.

Though the power of the Sun-cutting Divine Sword was immense, without a target, the power had nowhere to go.

Whether it was the Divine Sword Domain or the surrounding layers of arrays, various Source Power reactions all told him that Gao Xuan truly existed. However, his Divine Soul could never lock onto Gao Xuan's aura.

In his life, Huo Wuming had slain many powerful Evil Gods, but he had never encountered such a situation. He couldn't even see through the changes in Gao Xuan's power.

The Sun-cutting Divine Sword was like a blazing sun in the sky, yet Huo Wuming, holding the Sun-cutting Divine Sword, was somewhat bewildered.

The many big shots and strong figures watching the battle could see the on-site images and sounds through their authority, seeing many details.

Including various minute Source Power reactions and the aura fluctuations of both parties' Divine Souls, they could delve into extremely refined levels through the arrays.

This is also because the modern cultivator system has developed very rapidly, and with Nuwa controlling the Cyberspace, it can cover the entire Alliance.

Although Nuwa is the Master of Cyberspace, Qin Shiyue, Jin Yuxiu, and others all have the highest authority.

Cyberspace could not have been constructed by Nuwa alone. Power naturally had to be shared with Qin Shiyue and others. Without this prerequisite, Cyberspace could not be established.

Including the Twelve Disciples and Thirty-six Divine Envoys, all have very high authority in Cyberspace.

After Huo Wuming activated the Sun-cutting Divine Sword, Cyberspace simultaneously initiated, generating a Mirror Space centered on the apartment.

This space is a projection mirror of the real space; everything is the same as the real world, but completely separated from the real space.

No matter how it is destroyed, it will not affect the real world. This is also the truly powerful aspect of Cyberspace.

Cyberspace is the Virtual Divine Country, able to control Space Law while having a main computer analyzing Source Power data.

All combat data cannot escape the main computer, which analyzes more precisely than any strong figure. The many strong figures of the Holy Hall are also watching the battle through Cyberspace.

The Source Power data analyzed in real-time by the main computer is clearly and plainly displayed to the strong figures.

From the data perspective, Gao Xuan showed no special characteristics. Compared with Huo Wuming's Source Power and Divine Soul fluctuation data, Gao Xuan's data seemed rather low.

In all aspects of the data, Huo Wuming completely crushed Gao Xuan, yet he delayed taking action, which confused many of the strong figures watching the battle.

Wood Origin, Huo Yunheng, Shuimiao, Jin Yuyao, Tu Zhengnan, the Patriarchs of the Five Great Families, were all in the same video conference room watching the battle together.

If the enemy is really Gao Xuan, their Five Great Families would be the first to bear the brunt, and none of them could escape.

Honestly, they hadn't interacted with Gao Xuan. They were strong figures who rose during the Divine Emperor Era.

They were very curious about Gao Xuan, but not much awe.

The era progresses, technology progresses, the cultivation system progresses again. Even if Gao Xuan crawls out of the coffin, he's long been discarded by the times.

Although the Patriarchs of the Five Great Families were very shocked by Gao Xuan's appearance, they weren't too fearful. Their concern mainly stemmed from the particularly serious attitude of Qin Shiyue and several other big shots toward this matter.

The spectators couldn't see through Gao Xuan's changes at this moment either. Looking at the various data analyses of the main computer, there were no obvious problems.

Wood Origin and others had long entered the Divine Level, a level higher than Huo Wuming.

Watching the battle but unable to see through Gao Xuan's depth, this made the Patriarchs a bit doubtful and uneasy.

Huo Yunheng used Spiritual Power to say to the Patriarchs: "Could Nuwa be giving us fake data?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Mental communication among Divine-level powerhouses need not fear Nuwa overhearing.

The Patriarchs of the Great Families were well aware that Nuwa was never in line with them.

Over a thousand years, the families and Nuwa had drifted further apart. The cooperation between both sides was now just tenuous.

Wood Origin pondered silently, while Tu Zhengnan sneered and said: "If Gao Xuan really comes back, how could he let Nuwa off? She isn't stupid; she couldn't possibly side with the other party in this matter."

Tu Zhengnan continued: "Besides, it's not even certain who this person is!"

Though Tu Zhengnan's surname sounded unappealing, he had golden hair and black eyes and was exceptionally handsome.

The Tu Family was actually a Noble Family supported by Imperia, a branch of Augustus' lineage. However, over the last millennium, the Tu Family had already become one of the Five Great Families.

Regarding the original Augustus, the Tu Family had no sense of belonging.

Because of this, Tu Zhengnan wasn't particularly concerned about grudges from a thousand years ago. Consequently, he wasn't very concerned about Gao Xuan either.

Tu Zhengnan thought the matter was straightforward; even if Gao Xuan was truly resurrected, as long as Nuwa wasn't mad, she would certainly cooperate with them.

He even considered this not to be a bad thing at all.

Currently, the Holy Hall's Five Great Families were drifting towards division, and their conflict with Nuwa was significant.

A powerful external enemy could temporarily make the Five Great Families put aside prejudices, and could re-establish friendlier relations with Nuwa.

Although this crisis might not be enough to resolve internal conflicts, it could alleviate tensions.

From beginning to end, Tu Zhengnan never thought anyone could shake the Holy Hall. Not Gao Xuan, not anyone.

Within the Galaxy, the Holy Hall is invincible.

Even if the powerful Divines from the Netherworld Realm came, they couldn't stir up waves within the Holy Hall's domain.

Shuimiao and Jin Yuyao are both women, who grew up into powerhouses in the era after the Divine Emperor.

They did not hold much awe for Gao Xuan either. Due to their individual backgrounds, it was also improper for them to state their positions carelessly.

Wood Origin said, "Nuwa is the core of the Virtual Divine Country, we have no reason to suspect her. This person's power is indeed very special. Let's observe the situation first."

He paused and said, "There are so many of us here, no matter how capable this person is, what can he do! Everyone, just watch the battle with peace of mind."

At this moment, Qin Shiyue, staying deep underground on Xianyang Star, was also watching the battle.

Qin Shiyue stared at Gao Xuan in front, his expression complex.

In cyberspace, he had the highest authority, through the Virtual Divine Realm of cyberspace, he seemed to stand beside Gao Xuan.

Moreover, he could observe Gao Xuan from various angles.

"He resembles him, doesn't he?"

Qin Shiyue sighed to Nuwa, who appeared beside him.

"How does he resemble him?"

Nuwa didn't agree with Qin Shiyue, she asked in return.

"The look in his eyes." Qin Shiyue said.

Nuwa smiled, "Are you serious?"

Qin Shiyue solemnly said, "Would I joke about Gao Xuan? I wouldn't. No matter what, I have always admired Gao Xuan, admired his breadth of mind, admired his skills and abilities."

"Hahaha..."

Nuwa laughed more heartily, "A thousand years ago you were conspiring, plotting to overthrow the system Gao Xuan left behind, you didn't say that then."

"Gao Xuan was too harsh on the Noble Families."

Qin Shiyue said calmly, "He didn't understand one thing, overthrowing the existing Noble Families would only lead to the emergence of new ones. As long as human society is structured in hierarchical levels, there will always be a privileged class."

Nuwa nodded, "That's true. But you ultimately betrayed Gao Xuan's trust."

Qin Shiyue was a bit displeased, "Didn't you also betray Gao Xuan, it's meaningless to say this."

"I'm different. I have my reasons. If Gao Xuan stood before me, I wouldn't feel guilty. Whether he can understand, that's his issue."

Nuwa said righteously, and Qin Shiyue could only smile wryly, "What do you mean, you're not thinking of betraying us to help Gao Xuan, are you?"

"Remember, I was never your ally. Of course, I'm not Gao Xuan's ally either. I am me, I am Nuwa."

Nuwa shook her head, "What you think and do doesn't matter to me, I care about the outcome."

Qin Shiyue could only sigh, "Well, let's talk about the outcome, if Gao Xuan truly comes back to life, then we will all die. You know his temperament and character."

Nuwa neither agreed nor disagreed, she asked in return, "What do you intend to do?"

Qin Shiyue was silent for a while, then said, "I want to meet Yun Qingshang."

"What good would it do you to meet?"

Nuwa shook her head, "This is absolutely impossible."

She pointed to Gao Xuan in front, "If you have that energy, you might as well think about how to deal with this person first."

Qin Shiyue sighed again, "I have a bad feeling, we may not be able to beat him."

He asked Nuwa somewhat doubtingly, "This person is advancing so quickly, haven't you paid attention to it? Haven't you noticed his anomaly?"

Cyberspace and the Celestial Net are all controlled by Nuwa, collecting countless data every moment for analysis.

With Black Tiger behaving so unusually, it's very unusual that Nuwa hasn't noticed his anomaly!

Nuwa snorted, "Look at this person's record, is there any problem? People like him are numerous. Even if I paid attention, what could I do. If it weren't for Huo Wen Yuan pushing him, who would have known he possessed a Divine Artifact? Who would have known he had already condensed a Golden Core..."

Qin Shiyue shook his head, whether he didn't believe Nuwa's words or for some other reason.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What level do you think he's at now? Has he ignited the Divine Fire?"

Nuwa said disdainfully, "If he had ignited the Divine Fire, would we not know? Impossible."

Qin Shiyue looked at Gao Xuan ahead, saying deeply, "I can't see through, can't see through."

As Qin Shiyue lamented, Gao Xuan made his move. He casually reached forward at Huo Wuming with his left hand.

The Sun-cutting Divine Sword in Huo Wuming's hand turned, and the Red Gold Sword Light transformed into a massive light saber slashing towards Gao Xuan.

The power of the Sun-cutting Divine Sword instantly soared to the extreme, the blazing sword light transformed from Endless Source Power was millions of times hotter than a star.

The sword light's temperature alone, in the millions of degrees, was enough to destroy everything.

As Gao Xuan was about to be reduced to ash by the sword light, Huo Wuming suddenly noticed Gao Xuan's hand continuously expanding.

The overwhelmingly blazing Sun-cutting Sword was like a star thrown into the Star River, emitting high heat and strong light, yet was insignificant in the vast endless cosmos.

Huo Wuming couldn't comprehend the opponent's transformation and grew somewhat panicked.

All he could do was try his best to urge the Sun-cutting Sword to slash down, but a deep, abyss-like palm line on the gigantic hand instantly swallowed the Sun-cutting Sword and swallowed Huo Wuming.

Then, the gigantic hand closed, and the Sun-cutting Sword and Huo Wuming were crushed into pieces by the massive palm.

The battle ended thus.

All the observers were stunned, even absolute powerhouses like Qin Shiyue and Nuwa were left speechless in astonishment.
