King of Assassins-Chapter 958 - 666: Sweeping All Before Him

The clear aqua-colored Sword Light flowed in all directions, completely flooding the vast Holy Hall and engulfing all the powerhouses.

Qin Shiyue, Jin Yuxiu, and Imperia's first reaction was to quickly escape the Sword Light Domain.

The bright and clear aqua-colored Sword Light was both agile and elegant, yet vast and boundless. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

This Sword Light Domain truly had the stance of covering the Star River and traversing millennia.

The Divine Realms of many divine-level powerhouses were all covered by the Sword Light. This was extremely terrifying.

Each divine-level domain had its own unique Law, unique and powerful force.

Many divine-level powerhouses were gathered together, each with different Divine Realms. Yet Gao Xuan managed to cover all domains with his strength alone.

Even powerhouses like Qin Shiyue couldn't sense the conditions of others. He knew very well that no matter how strong Gao Xuan was, it was impossible for him to kill everyone with a single sword.

In this cosmos, it's unlikely that there is such a mighty force.

But Gao Xuan's Sword Light Domain was too profound, covering all the powerhouses' domains from above and separating everyone.

Such an exquisitely brilliant swordsmanship neutralized the advantage of their numbers completely.

Qin Shiyue also knew that the best method was to strike with full force. As long as everyone shared this thought, they could collectively break this Sword Light Domain.

The problem is that others certainly wouldn't think that way. Faced with an unbreakable Sword Domain, everyone would surely think about escaping first.

The fate of Tu Zhengnan also told everyone that no one could withstand Gao Xuan's sword.

Thinking back, Qin Shiyue realized that Gao Xuan deliberately killed the strongest Tu Zhengnan first to intimidate everyone.

To kill a powerhouse like Tu Zhengnan with one sword, Gao Xuan must have exerted all his strength.

Faced with so many divine-level powerhouses, how many could Gao Xuan's sword actually kill?

Qin Shiyue could understand this reasoning, and he believed others could understand it too.

The problem is human nature is selfish, and with the situation so chaotic, who would be willing to step forward? Who would confront Gao Xuan's Unparalleled Divine Sword?

Even Qin Shiyue was unwilling to fight to the death; he only wished to escape the Sword Domain to devise a counter-strategy.

Thinking of this, Qin Shiyue activated the Nine Provinces Cauldron without hesitation.

His Nine Provinces Cauldron was deep within Xianyang Star, the vast domain it established enveloped the entire Xianyang Star Realm.

The Central Star Realm could stand alone, keeping all Evil Gods outside. One reason was the coverage of Cyberspace, and the other was the massive domain established by the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Against other powerhouses, Qin Shiyue could just control the Nine Provinces Cauldron to directly crush the opponent.

However, faced with Gao Xuan's Sword Light Domain, Qin Shiyue felt like he had no strength to exert.

Over the millennium, the Nine Provinces Cauldron had continuously evolved, but compared to Gao Xuan, it seemed to fall short.

In his heart, Qin Shiyue felt uncomfortable and awkward, as he had always been a step behind Gao Xuan since a thousand years ago. He couldn't see through Gao Xuan's cultivation, nor his ways of doing things.

Until Gao Xuan was seriously injured, he couldn't resist taking a risk. This was certainly out of a desire for power and to maintain the Qin Family. But more so, it came from his unwillingness to lose.

A thousand years later, Gao Xuan reemerged. Qin Shiyue thought he was prepared for every contingency, yet he was still not enough against Gao Xuan.

Always a step behind, Qin Shiyue felt frustrated being suppressed by Gao Xuan. But he calmly chose to activate the Nine Provinces Cauldron, forcefully leaving the Sword Light Domain.

Jin Yuxiu and Imperia made the same choice. Both of them were Tripod Masters of the Nine Provinces Cauldron and could escape using it.

These three possessed the Nine Provinces Cauldrons, allowing them to escape the encirclement of the Sword Light Domain.

The others did not have this ability. Even a powerhouse like Wood Origin, whose actual cultivation wasn't much less than that of Qin Shiyue and the others, ultimately did not have the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Over a thousand years, the Holy Hall invested countless resources into the Nine Provinces Cauldron. Most Divine Crystals were actually merged into the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Because of the vast investment of resources, the Nine Provinces Cauldron grew increasingly powerful.

Qin Shiyue, Jin Yuxiu, and Imperia's transcendent status was supported by their control over the Nine Provinces Cauldron and Cyberspace, even when they were not in the Holy Hall.

Wood Origin and others lacked this layer. At such a critical moment, this layer of difference was enough to be fatal.

Wood Origin sighed in his heart, but he couldn't find a way to forcefully escape. He could only unfold the Cyan Dragon Wind Thunder Banner to protect himself.

At the Divine Level, he could master any form of Source Power and carry all kinds of Divine Artifacts.

However, doing so was meaningless. Powerhouses are compared not by weaknesses but by who is stronger.

Only by focusing on one path can one go further and climb higher.

Wood Origin devoted all his energy and resources to this Cyan Dragon Wind Thunder Banner after becoming a god.

Even in the face of Gao Xuan's incredibly exquisite Sword Light Domain, when the Cyan Dragon Wind Thunder Banner was unfurled, flickering electric light forcefully dispersed the Sword Light, creating a place for Wood Origin to take shelter.

Wood Origin felt an unusual Source Power stirring around him. The Cyan Dragon Wind Thunder Banner unfurled again, spreading azure electric light.

Wood Origin saw Gao Xuan gracefully withdrawing his sword after piercing through someone wearing Fiery Lotus Armor, the person had exquisite features, and striking red eyes that were dazzling and charming. It was the Eleventh Saint among the Twelve Disciples, Huo Honglian.

Huo Honglian was an absolute genius from a side branch of the Huo Family, forming a Super First-Grade Golden Core at a young age and smoothly igniting the Divine Fire to become a divine-level powerhouse.

Though young, her actual combat strength was strong enough to firmly place her in the top five. However, her accumulation was insufficient, and her Lifebound Sword Artifact, the Red Lotus Sword, was lacking.

After being struck, Huo Honglian sensed the lightning spreading skyward. Her striking red eyes showed a hint of plea for help, yet she couldn't utter a single sound.
