King of Assassins

In this regard, the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva appears overly reserved and obscure, lacking that grandeur. The Polar Star Monarch, on the other hand, seems a bit ethereal, lacking some internal strength and support.

Therefore, Yuan Qinglian feels that the Earth Element Daoist Monarch is qualified to be on par with her. The Ten Suffering and the Polar Star Monarch fall short by a layer.

Of course, there’s also the sneaky Paradise Demon Monarch. Just by being sneaky, that person is unqualified to be called a peerless hero.

Facing the Polar Star God Array, Gao Xuan truly displays the demeanor of a Celestial Immortal.

No, even stronger than most Celestial Immortals!

Yuan Qinglian, having reincarnated from the Upper Three Realms to this realm, still retains some memories of the ancient wars.

Most Celestial Immortals are naturally powerful, rarely cultivated postnatally.

Though these Celestial Immortals are strong, they haven’t gone through various trials. Inevitably, they all seem a bit arrogant. In terms of demeanor, they can’t compare to powerhouses like Gao Xuan and the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Especially when facing great danger, Celestial Immortals are not much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Yuan Qinglian appreciates Gao Xuan’s calm demeanor, truly unafraid, untroubled, and utterly at ease, like a bright moon in the sky.

No matter how the weather changes, how the stars shine, I remain calmly illuminating the starry sky.

Yuan Qinglian is a bit excited; she’s not exactly biased towards Gao Xuan, but the more formidable Gao Xuan is, the more intense the battle will be.

As a bystander, she naturally isn’t afraid of a big commotion.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch shares Yuan Qinglian’s judgment, realizing that the Polar Star Monarch is in big trouble, and that Gao Xuan won’t be easily dealt with.

Adding the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, it probably won’t be so easy to secure victory either.

On this point, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch is clearer than Yuan Qinglian. Because the Polar Star God Array unfolds within the Earth Book’s range, he can perceive changes in the aura of the Star God Array and see how Gao Xuan is responding to the array.

Facing the Polar Star God Array, Gao Xuan doesn’t unleash any Divine Techniques or Martial Dao; he simply stands there, allowing the endless Star Power to descend.

So far, Gao Xuan has not revealed his limits.

Of course, the Polar Star God Array has only just begun operating and will take some time to reach its full potential.

All in all, this is a clash of titans.

Though the Polar Star Monarch and the Ten Suffering have a massive advantage together, Gao Xuan is not bound to fail.

To other cultivators, the outlook is much bleaker, with most believing that Gao Xuan cannot escape his doom.

Even the Celestial Corpse, Xiankong Ancestor, and many Demon Emperors think they have victory in hand. Though they are continuously drained by the array, they are in an exceptionally good mood.

As long as they can kill Gao Xuan and reclaim the Eight Desolates, all sacrifices are worth it.

At this time, no one cares much about the numerous Demon Emperors. Most cultivators don’t know that the Demon Emperors have contributed greatly here.

The eyes of many cultivators are still focused on Gao Xuan and the Polar Star Monarch.

Of course, some cultivators unaware of the situation deeply sympathize with Gao Xuan.

Putting aside other factors, just Gao Xuan’s charisma and demeanor exceed the fierce and stern Polar Star Monarch. The old and decrepit Ten Suffering Bodhisattva is even less comparable to Gao Xuan.

Moreover, the Polar Star Monarch and the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva have dominated their territories, monopolizing countless benefits and hindering many cultivators’ paths.

Countless cultivators hope for their misfortune. Watching them battle Gao Xuan, these cultivators dare not express it, but secretly hope for their downfall.

But observing the situation, Gao Xuan’s chances of winning seem slim.

"Gao Xuan is doomed!"

The spectator Yuan Xiang also made a judgment, a hint of joy appearing on his old face. "Finally, the grievances of my juniors in the Five Elements and Five Phases are avenged."

Jin Xiang didn’t say anything; she didn’t think things were that simple.

After a thousand years apart, it’s evident that Gao Xuan’s cultivation has advanced to a higher level. His Divine Soul is fully rounded, both inside and out, showing no flaws under the pressure of the Star God Array.

She has an uneasy premonition that Gao Xuan’s Body Refining Technique has reached the Perfection Realm, enough to rival hers. He might even be stronger.

Back in the Cyan Celestial Realm, Gao Xuan’s Power was indeed greater than hers. By the time they reached the Primordial Celestial Realm, she managed to catch up. However, she still gained no advantage over Gao Xuan.

Unlike her relentless pursuit of endless Divine Power, Gao Xuan achieves harmony in Divine Soul and body, inside and out. His complete Body Refinement means his Divine Soul Power will naturally elevate as well.

Jin Xiang was initially puzzled why her master, Ten Suffering, didn’t inform her in advance about this matter, allowing her to prepare and step in.

With even Yuan Xiang and other disciples of the Ten Sufferings Sect seemingly unaware of their master’s intentions to act.

When the Polar Star God Array took form, Jin Xiang understood Ten Suffering’s thought process.

Indeed, the array’s Star Power is immensely potent, rejecting all external forces.

The numerous Demon Emperors within the array serve merely as foundations, supplying power to the array. Beyond that, the Demon Emperors cannot contribute further.

Even if the many strong figures from the Ten Sufferings Sect enter the array, they’d become laborers like the Demon Emperors. Naturally, Ten Suffering doesn’t want that.

Ten Suffering can remain in the array because his cultivation reaches the heavens, his mind unstirred and untainted by the Ten Sufferings, allowing him to disregard the vast Star Power and naturally harness his strength.

However, she couldn’t help but slightly underestimate Gao Xuan!

Feeling a bit anxious, Jin Xiang, fondly regarded by Ten Suffering due to her prior life’s might, felt a kinship for this consideration.

Despite her special circumstances necessitating reincarnation, she has yet to recover memories of her past life.

Although she could establish the closest connection with her true Divine Aspect, she still didn’t know why she reincarnated.

As a Dharma King in the Buddhist Court and the Vajra Power King, normally, she shouldn’t fall to such a state of reincarnation and re-cultivation.

Jin Xiang often felt unease when recalling these things, but she dared not presumptuously speculate. Only when she regained her powers and returned to the Buddhist Court would she learn the truth.
