King of Assassins

Polar Star Monarch was indeed not afraid, he genuinely did not know how to respond to Gao Xuan.

In front of numerous cultivators from all over the world, he righteously declared that he would slay demons and eliminate evil, yet the earth-shattering strike was effortlessly shattered by Gao Xuan.

This was too humiliating.

Polar Star Monarch felt both ashamed and annoyed; as a wise being, his emotions were a hundred times more intense than those of ordinary cultivators. But he controlled himself well, not losing composure on the spot.

He exchanged a glance with Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, whose eyes were quite calm. Ten Suffering Bodhisattva used Divine Thought to communicate with Polar Star Monarch: "We have no retreat."

This statement awakened Polar Star Monarch.

Indeed, Gao Xuan could casually kill hundreds of Demon Emperors for cultivation. He and Ten Suffering Bodhisattva publicly accused Gao Xuan in front of the world’s cultivators, thoroughly offending him.

At this point, even if they backed down, Gao Xuan would not spare them.

With this realization, Polar Star Monarch instead felt relaxed.

Ten Suffering Bodhisattva sighed inwardly, this Polar Star Monarch aimed to do great things but lacked the determination to achieve greatness. Now, he only just realized this.

If he had known the opponent was so incompetent, he would not have allied with Polar Star Monarch. But now, it was too late to say anything; there was only one path left to follow.

Ten Suffering Bodhisattva understood people like Gao Xuan too well. Previously, Five Phases and Jin Xiang had conflicts with Gao Xuan, but they didn’t affect him much.

Back then, Gao Xuan’s power was not strong enough, he could step back. But now, Gao Xuan definitely wouldn’t retreat.

Especially since they intended to kill Gao Xuan; Gao Xuan absolutely could not tolerate their actions.

Ten Suffering Bodhisattva glanced at his disciple Jin Xiang from afar; at their level, ordinary Earth Immortals attacking jointly had little significance.

Among his disciples and followers, only Jin Xiang could truly be of help.

If worst comes to worst, he can only immediately return to Ten Sufferings Temple with people. Relying on the Buddhist Sect’s grand array cultivated for millions of years, he wouldn’t fear Gao Xuan coming.

However, the situation should not have reached that stage yet!

Gao Xuan succeeded in Unity of Inner and Outer, yet it wasn’t without flaws. The laws of this realm have already limited power. No matter how strong he is, how strong can he be!

Ten Suffering Bodhisattva is more seasoned than Polar Star Monarch, and more persevering.

At crucial moments, Ten Suffering Bodhisattva remained more composed and determined.

The main reason why Polar Star Monarch grew so smoothly was that he hardly encountered any setbacks.

The decisive divine techniques failing bewildered Polar Star Monarch, inevitably swaying his will. Luckily, he wasn’t weak, reminded by Ten Suffering Bodhisattva’s words, he immediately realized he had no retreat, only to fight fiercely.

Polar Star Monarch activated the Polar Star Divine Order, shaped like a blue jade ruler with deep blue star sparkles on it.

The Polar Star Divine Order is Emperor Ziwei’s emblem, representing the authority to control the stars of the Nine Heavens by Emperor Ziwei.

Strictly speaking, this divine artifact does not belong to Polar Star Monarch. He merely borrowed it.

Over these million years, Polar Star Monarch noticed Emperor Ziwei’s aura becoming increasingly thin. Although the Celestial Court continued to issue various orders, those orders were repetitive.

Polar Star Monarch had long noticed something amiss, he boldly privately activated the Polar Star Divine Order without submitting any application upwards or presenting any statement or explanation to Emperor Ziwei.

He waited anxiously for over a hundred thousand years without receiving any reproach or scolding.

This made Polar Star Monarch realize a problem, that is, Emperor Ziwei might have encountered trouble.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t allow the reckless use of the Polar Star God’s authority.

The reason behind wanting to kill Gao Xuan this time was based on these thoughts. Now, he was invigorated; since there’s no retreat, he would use all his abilities to kill Gao Xuan.

Polar Star Monarch couldn’t believe that he couldn’t kill Gao Xuan with the Polar Star Divine Order in his hands. Moreover, he also had Ten Suffering Bodhisattva’s assistance.

He shook the Polar Star Divine Order, causing the extinguished billions of stars in the Nine Heavens to shine radiantly again, and the Star Power descending from the Star God Array boiled once more.

This time, Polar Star Monarch was ruthless; he originally wanted to keep many Demon Emperors to help manage the Eight Desolates.

But now, he couldn’t care for so much.

A crimson star emerged in Polar Star Monarch’s eyes, and he said to Gao Xuan: "Your rebellious divine techniques are exceptional, it indeed surprises me greatly."

He paused and loudly declared: "The stronger your rebellious divine techniques, the more dangerous it is for the cultivators of the world. Even if I am not your match, I must sacrifice myself to subdue demons for the safety of the world’s cultivators!"

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, Polar Star Monarch had been in the Celestial Court for too long, he still liked to preach and emphasize justice and reason.

Little did he know that at this level, actions only mattered whether they aligned with one’s own path. Matters like benevolence and morality were no longer important.

How other cultivators view and think was even more inconsequential.

Gao Xuan said to Polar Star Monarch: "Star Monarch, do hurry, I’ve been waiting impatiently."

"The rampant rebel, watch the means of this Star Monarch!"

A crimson star in Polar Star Monarch’s eyes suddenly flashed, activating Celestial Slayer Star Power.

The Celestial Fiend Star is an extremely unique star, its star power can kill all living beings. Though the Ziwei Godslaying Sword is powerful, it does not encompass Celestial Slayer Star Power.

Because activating Celestial Slayer Star Power requires offering up Essence Blood of the Divine Soul. The stronger the offered living being, the stronger activated Celestial Slayer Star Power.

When Polar Star Monarch arranged the Polar Star God Array, he considered the worst-case scenario.

He set a restriction on many Demon Emperors in advance, at this moment, he activated Celestial Slayer Star power directly on many Demon Emperors.

Many Demon Emperors felt a sudden jolt in their Divine Soul, a blood-red nine-pointed star descended from the Nine Heavens, directly falling onto their Divine Soul.
