King of Assassins

The Ten Great Sorrows Mantra is said to originate from the Buddha Venerable’s Spell. The power of the Ten Sufferings alone is enough to make a Celestial Immortal succumb to the Sea of Suffering without escape.

The Great Compassion Spell further possesses the marvelous ability to transcend all beings. This transcendence isn’t about killing, but rather sending the Divine Soul of living beings into the endless Nirvana Realm.

The Nirvana Realm is the end of everything and the starting point of all. Even the Buddha Venerable must undergo Nirvana, let alone the rest of the beings.

Though the transcending power of the Great Compassion Spell does not kill, its methods are a hundredfold, thousandfold more exquisite than killing.

Listening to the Ten Great Sorrows Mantra, Gao Xuan couldn’t help but recall the various moments of his past, thoughts of life and death, separations, love and hatred, gains and losses, rendering him momentarily entranced.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva continued chanting while slowly walking towards Gao Xuan.

The numerous cultivators within the Taiyi Hall were all immersed in emotions within the Sea of Suffering, unable to extricate themselves.

However, some Earth Immortals managed to maintain a tenuous clarity. This was due to the Earth Book acting as a barrier, reducing the potency of the Ten Great Sorrows Mantra to one percent on them.

Several Earth Immortals noticed Gao Xuan closing his eyes in deep thought, his facial expressions continuously changing. Evidently, he was also engulfed in the Sea of Suffering.

Many Earth Immortals were surprised, but soon they realized that Gao Xuan had ascended from the Lower Realm and had only cultivated for three to four thousand years.

Such a short cultivation period compared to the million-year-old Earth Immortals was a significant disparity.

Gao Xuan’s body refinement could be rapidly achieved through external forces. However, the mind and Divine Soul required the slow polishing over long eons, until they became translucent and perfect.

Clearly, Gao Xuan still had significant progress to make on the mental plane.

Many Earth Immortals sighed, affirming that the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva was indeed the pinnacle of power in the present era, with techniques of exceptional brilliance. It appeared that Gao Xuan was already ensnared.

The strong cultivators of the Ten Sufferings Sect were all full of excitement. The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva had even thrown out the Great Compassion Prayer Beads, and with the sect’s most treasured artifact as support, failing to subdue Gao Xuan would be troublesome.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva had already approached Gao Xuan, full of compassion, forming the Great Compassion Seal and slowly pointing it towards Gao Xuan’s chest.

The Great Compassion Seal would not harm but would only transcend beings to the Nirvana realm. It was considered the supreme magical technique.

At this moment, the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva executed it with the utmost benevolence and kindness. He knew that a strong individual like Gao Xuan would be awakened by even the slightest hint of malice or intent to kill.

Only with genuine compassion could one make the other abandon all resistance.

The Great Compassion Seal gently landed on Gao Xuan’s chest, the compassion transcending supreme power opening the Nirvana Realm, ready to transcend Gao Xuan.

This method transcends without harming, a supreme and exquisite magic technique of the Buddhist Sect.

Yet Gao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, casually grasping the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva’s Great Compassion Hand Seal. With a light grip, the Ten Sufferings couldn’t evade, and the Great Compassion Seal was almost instantly crushed.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva sensed something was wrong, his entire body emanating intense Buddhist light.

Gao Xuan smiled faintly at the Ten Sufferings, "Monk wants to transcend me; I appreciate the gesture. This Nirvana Realm, monk, you can go yourself."

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva was greatly alarmed, hurriedly activating the Ten Sufferings Seal, connecting himself and the Ten Sufferings Temple into one.

Gao Xuan paid no heed to what the Ten Sufferings Bodhisattva was connecting with; his left hand grasped the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, continuously applying force.

The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body unleashed endless Divine Power, tearing apart the intricate threads of Heaven and Earth Law entwined around the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva.

"Beng, Beng, Beng..."

A soundless yet grand tremor resounded in the void as the Heaven and Earth Law shattered, like an invisible drumstick striking upon every cultivator’s heart, turning their faces pale.

Even Earth Immortal-level cultivators felt terrible.

The invisible Heaven and Earth Law was torn by Gao Xuan; such supreme and unmatched power made many Earth Immortals horrified and ashen-faced.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva was also in agony, his condensed Earth Immortal Law was forcibly stripped away, a million times more painful than being skinned alive. In this moment, his Divine Soul had already been forcibly torn apart.

Spectator Jin Xiang perceived the dire situation, swiftly rushing into the Polar Star God Array, shattering the invisible barrier of the Polar Star God Array and the spatial barrier of the Earth Book with a punch.

Gao Xuan calmly watched Jin Xiang’s approaching punch, slowly bringing his hands together.

With endless Divine Power in Gao Xuan’s hands, the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva was effortlessly compressed into a small ball, and with a throw, the flesh ball was cast into the open Nirvana Realm.

The Nirvana Realm instantly closed, and the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva disappeared without a trace.

Jin Xiang reached Gao Xuan’s side at this moment, looking deeply at him, her fists clenched tightly.

Gao Xuan ignored Jin Xiang, turning to the Polar Star Monarch nearby and asked, "You didn’t intervene to stop me?"

Moments ago, the Polar Star Monarch was right beside him, fully capable of intervening, yet he remained motionless.

The Polar Star Monarch’s expression changed several times before he hesitated and suddenly knelt on one knee, holding up the Polar Star Divine Order, presenting it as if offering a treasure.

"Your Majesty, I am your most loyal servant, Merak. Please forgive my failure to recognize your identity earlier, and my rashness in offending you. I deserve to die a thousand deaths, and I am willing to accept any punishment without complaint..."

The Polar Star Monarch suddenly knelt in surrender, presenting himself as a subordinate. This scene left the many cultivators within the Taiyi Hall watching dumbfounded. What was going on?
