King of Assassins

Of course, Gao Xuan wasn’t yet powerful enough to absorb such a vast world.

The Command of Justice detonated the Celestial Court Golden Seal, like throwing a grenade into the sea. It didn’t have any substantial effect.

However, the power of the Command of Justice itself consisted of the highest-level Celestial Runes. It naturally controlled space, bound divine souls, and possessed the divine power to obliterate all consciousness.

These divine powers were intricately combined to form a powerful Command of Justice.

If he hadn’t cultivated the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, Gao Xuan would need to activate the Five Elements Formless Divine Light to resist the Command of Justice.

Although the Command of Justice is just a magic technique, its power is far superior to the Five Elements Formless Divine Light. In terms of power level, it is just a notch below the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw and the Hongyi Sword.

The true power of the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel can’t even compare to this one Command of Justice.

Unfortunately, such peerless divine techniques confronted Gao Xuan’s Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body.

The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body was flawless inside and out, leaving the Command of Justice with no gap to exploit, and its multiple divine powers posed no threat.

The layers of star power chains contracted tightly, yet Gao Xuan stood calmly within them.

Polar Star Monarch couldn’t help but feel a bit tense; the Command of Justice couldn’t handle him, which was a bad sign.

Now it all depended on whether the Ziwei Godslaying Sword could eliminate this renegade!

From the Nine Heavens descended a purple sword blade, absorbing endless star power, before it thrust straight toward the top of Gao Xuan’s head.

The Ziwei Godslaying Sword gathered Ziwei Star Power and transformed it into Ultimate Evil Sword Intent. Though it wielded the power of a single strike, none survived beneath its blade.

When Emperor Ziwei waged war in the Celestial Realm, he relied on this move—the Ziwei Godslaying Sword—to slay countless powerful figures.

Though Polar Star Monarch merely borrowed the Star Emperor’s power, the Ziwei Godslaying Sword, reinforced by the Polar Star God Array, had reached its utmost power.

Polar Star Monarch believed that neither Earth Element Daoist Monarch nor Yuan Qinglian could withstand this sword. Of course, these two would always find a way to evade.

Gao Xuan was trapped within the Polar Star God Array, further bound by the Command of Justice; there was no escape.

At this moment, Earth Element Daoist Monarch had also unfolded the Earth Book, slicing the battlefield and the Taiyi Hall completely with Space Laws.

His spatial manipulation was divine; though space changed, it didn’t affect the battling parties. He merely separated Taiyi Hall and Four Seas City to avoid collateral damage from the battle.

Polar Star Monarch noticed the spatial change but paid it no mind. With his Divine Intent guiding and locking in, there was no chance the Ziwei Godslaying Sword would miss.

When the purple divine sword struck above Gao Xuan’s head, a deep blue light wheel suddenly rose above Gao Xuan.

Within the light wheel, a purple nine-pointed star slowly rotated, also linked to the Ziwei Star Power from the heavens above.

The Ziwei Godslaying Sword was sharp beyond compare, yet it was blocked by the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel.

The two forces, both from the Ziwei Star, confronted each other directly, making the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel appear extremely weak.

The deep blue light wheel spun continuously, with its internal purple Ziwei Star glowing darkly with purple light, yet the wheel kept warping under the purple long sword.

It seemed ready to collapse!

The numerous cultivators watching in Taiyi Hall, even those who had survived the Celestial Tribulation, could only grasp the broader outcome of the fight despite missing the finer changes, realizing Gao Xuan was in dire straits.

Many female cultivators instinctively showed worry. Although Gao Xuan admitted to all Polar Star Monarch’s accusations, they saw him as someone brave and uncompromising—a true unparalleled hero.

The main point was Gao Xuan hadn’t harmed them, so their hearts went out to him in sympathy, primarily due to his allure and presence.

Cultivators don’t just observe with their eyes; they use their Divine Sense, various senses to perceive. Yet regardless of the layer they examined, Gao Xuan appeared flawless.

To low-tier cultivators, such perfection was irresistible.

Even when discarding sect affiliations, many low-tier cultivators still supported Gao Xuan, especially female cultivators.

Cultivators above the Earth Immortal level might not be charmed by Gao Xuan’s allure, but they couldn’t help feeling regret.

Gao Xuan’s Jun Heaven Star God Wheel was a peerless divine artifact, but the Ziwei Godslaying Sword proved too strong, particularly with the Polar Star God Array reinforcing it.

Additionally, with various Demon Emperors supporting him, Polar Star Monarch’s peerless strike wasn’t entirely fair.

The numerous Demon Emperors relentlessly operating the array, faces alight with excitement, saw Gao Xuan nearly slain by the sword, and they were the happiest.

Several Demon Emperors took the chance to shout, "Gao Xuan, surrender and meet your end!"

"Gao Xuan, your time has come!"

"Gao Xuan, today is the day of your judgment and demise..."

"Gao Xuan, dare to be arrogant now..."

This excited crowd of Demon Emperors failed to notice Polar Star Monarch growing more serious, devoid of any winning satisfaction or relaxation.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva slightly furrowed his white brows, quietly preparing to wield the Ten Directions Seal, with the Great Compassion Prayer Beads ready to be deployed.

At this point, it wasn’t about who had more divine artifacts, but about whose power was greater, and whose divine artifacts resonated more closely with their own laws.

Though the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel Gao Xuan wielded was immensely powerful and compatible with his laws, compared to his state, it was still an external object.

The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva and Polar Star Monarch were top experts, easily perceiving Gao Xuan had further tricks.

Sure enough, the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel above Gao Xuan’s head suddenly vanished into silence. The Ziwei Godslaying Sword then rushed forward sharply.

Gao Xuan floated back a step, and to everyone’s surprise, he reached out with his right hand and caught the Ziwei Godslaying Sword formed from the power of myriad heavens and stars.

At that moment, billions of stars in the Nine Heavens shone brightly, their vast star power surging, seemingly ready to explode the Primordial Celestial Realm.

However, such an immense, overwhelming star power still failed to rattle Gao Xuan.

No matter how the purple sword light shone, Gao Xuan’s hand holding the Ziwei Godslaying Sword remained steady, without a hint of tremor.

This scene astonished the watching cultivators.

Gao Xuan’s other hand grasped the opposite end of the purple sword light, and with both hands, he crushed the indestructible divine sword.

The Ziwei Godslaying Sword transformed into specks of purple starlight floating away.

The shining stars above the Nine Heavens simultaneously dimmed. Even the power driving the Polar Star God Array appeared to hesitate momentarily.

The observers were further dumbfounded, many left agape.

The shouting Demon Emperors stared wide-eyed. As Earth Immortal level powerhouses, they were well aware of the power wielded by that purple divine sword.

If all the Demon Emperors banded together and tried to intercept, they would be wiped out by this sword.

Yet Gao Xuan shattered the divine sword with his bare hands. What were his hands made of? From where did he draw such divine power?

Gao Xuan ignored the Demon Emperors, smiling at Polar Star Monarch, saying, "Monarch, don’t hold back now."

Polar Star Monarch fell silent, not knowing how to respond; Gao Xuan had effortlessly dismantled the strongest divine technique he could wield—the Ziwei Godslaying Sword—leaving him at a loss.

For a moment, this contemporary supreme Earth Immortal Polar Star Monarch appeared rather embarrassed.
