King of Assassins

The myriad of purple runes gathered into a purple light stack, somewhat resembling a purple leaf, and somewhat like a fish scale.

This purple light is very textured, looking like a real substance, with no hint of illusion.

The countless runes on top shimmer with purple light, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Gao Xuan's spiritual power swept over and immediately knew that this marvel was called the "Purple Sky Thunder Scripture."

Although it sounds like a manual, in reality, it is still a marvel. Judging from its energy level, it's evidently a genuine Golden Level marvel.

The Purple Sky Thunder Scripture can harness a special lightning, which is known as the Purple Sky Thunder.

In essence, it's a kind of thunderbolt power.

Gao Xuan always felt that this thing seemed familiar or that the Source Power aura matched exceptionally well with the Celestial Dragon Eye.

With the electric light flashing within the Celestial Dragon Eye, the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture immediately responded, merging into the Celestial Dragon Eye amidst the flashing purple light.

Gao Xuan felt a slight tremor in his spirit as the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture completely merged into the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Various secrets for mastering thunder skills were also added to his sea of consciousness. Originally, he needed the Celestial Dragon Eye to release lightning, but now he didn't need it anymore.

More importantly, after absorbing the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, the Celestial Dragon Eye upgraded...

The Celestial Dragon Eye directly advanced to the Golden Energy Level, and the entire process was extremely smooth and natural.

Gao Xuan didn't even feel anything. The Celestial Dragon Eye just suddenly enhanced to the Golden Energy Level.

Of course, this is still far, far from the Celestial Dragon Eye's top state.

Gao Xuan never knew that the Celestial Dragon Eye could absorb and fuse other marvels.

In the past life, the Celestial Dragon Eye was in Wang Hong'en's hands, making him the topmost strongman among humans.

Gao Xuan had only heard of the Celestial Dragon Eye and related stories. He did not understand the Celestial Dragon Eye.

After obtaining the Celestial Dragon Eye, he divided the Celestial Dragon Blood within, for body transformation, with Yun Qingshang. Actually, this marvel could be considered split into two.

Without Celestial Dragon Blood to transform his body, Gao Xuan always found it somewhat awkward to harness the Celestial Dragon Eye.

For the four special powers of wind, thunder, water, and fire in the Celestial Dragon Eye, Gao Xuan had to learn how to master them through other means.

Ice Sword Qi, Flame Palm, Wind Blade Technique, are all secret techniques Gao Xuan learned from others.

As for the most powerful lightning, Gao Xuan mastered it purely by instinct. You couldn't really call it control.

After all, the Celestial Dragon Eye could naturally master thunderbolts; he just didn't have the corresponding secret technique to genuinely unleash its power. But it was enough.

Just like the purple glare thunder released by Shao Daoyuan, the Celestial Dragon Eye could naturally absorb it, without the need for Gao Xuan to master it.

The Celestial Dragon Eye absorbed the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture smoothly, also adding a hint of purple light in the depths of its crimson pupil.

Gao Xuan suddenly understood how to employ thunder skills and how to master the thunderbolt power of the Celestial Dragon Eye.

With the related secret techniques mastered, Gao Xuan's efficiency in using thunder skills improved by a thousandfold. This was essentially a qualitative enhancement.

It's like a tank; Gao Xuan previously didn't know how to fire the cannon, only able to drive the tank to crush his enemies.

Now, Gao Xuan genuinely mastered the techniques of the Celestial Dragon Eye, able to unleash the real power of the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Gao Xuan opened his self-management panel, where the Celestial Dragon Eye was clearly marked as Gold (Initial Tier).

Golden Energy Level is also divided into four stages: Initial Tier, Middle Tier, High Tier, and Perfect.

Name: Gao Xuan

Gender: Male

Age: 19 years old.

Height: 188.88888 cm.

Weight: 100000.00000 g.

Constitution: 30 (Celestial Dragon Eye +8)

Spirit: 34 (Celestial Dragon Eye +2)

Power: 24 (Celestial Dragon Eye +6)

Agility: 29 (Six-winged Celestial Cicada +5 Aurora Sword +2 Celestial Dragon Eye +1)

After the Celestial Dragon Eye advanced, it also increased various physical indices.

The most crucial enhancement among them was that the Celestial Dragon Eye raised the Spiritual Attribute by two points. This raised his spiritual power by approximately 2.2 times.

Shao Daoyuan looks weak, but actually, his spiritual power is also at 30 points. This is the entry standard for a Golden Level strongman.

This time, with the Celestial Dragon Eye's enhancement, Gao Xuan's spiritual value reached the Golden Middle Tier level.

Secondly, constitution increased by another two points, representing a significant improvement in Gao Xuan's body.

The power attribute also increased by four points, with power elevated directly by five times.

The Golden Level of the Celestial Dragon Eye even improved Gao Xuan's agility by one point.

The upgrade of the Celestial Dragon Eye led to a comprehensive transformation and strengthening of Gao Xuan's body, bringing a significant enhancement to his physique.

Among these, both spirit and constitution reached the Golden Level. Normally, this accumulation is sufficient for Gao Xuan to step into the Golden Level.

Gao Xuan pursues the Perfect Golden Body, but it is still far from being perfect.

Advancing to Gold is also a fundamental life transformation. Completing the transformation is irreversible.

This critical step, if it's slightly wrong, will magnify this slight error on the future path.

Of course, no strongman can possibly ascend to Gold in a perfect state.

For the cosmos, perfection can only ever be a concept. There is no truly perfect existence.

As long as Gao Xuan achieves his best within the scope of his understanding, it's enough.

In summary, this gain is incredibly huge, beyond imagination. Even Gao Xuan felt a bit shocked!

He slightly clenched his fist, with the power surging fivefold, feeling as if he could squeeze the air till it exploded.

In reality, of course, it is not that exaggerated.

On Taurus, there are formidable Silver Sword Heroes who can reach a similar level of power.

24 points of Power, very strong, but not the strongest on Taurus.

This kind of basic Power originating from the body has very low transmission efficiency outward. Unless one is a dedicated Body Cultivator, they wouldn't follow the path of Power.

Generally speaking, such Body Cultivators must be equipped with specialized Exoskeleton Armor to fully utilize their strength advantages.

Gao Xuan certainly doesn't need this, but the enhancement of physical Power has somewhat balanced various attributes of his body.

This is the greatest significance of increasing Power values.

Powerful Spiritual Power allows Gao Xuan to easily control his strengthened body.

This fundamental transformation of life essence derived from Source Power cannot be seen from the outside. No one can perceive the enormous change in Gao Xuan's body.

Gao Xuan didn't waste anything, putting away the Purple Light Shaoyang Sword as well.

As the purple Thunder Light gradually dissipated, experts from the Lin and Wang families, including Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng, saw Gao Xuan in Silver Armor hovering in the air.

In his right hand, he held a clear Longsword like a tranquil autumn stream, his expression indifferent without sorrow or joy. There was a holy inviolability amid the splendor.

Everyone was stunned. Where is Shao Daoyuan?

Could that powerful Golden Sword Saint have been driven away by Gao Xuan?

Unbelievable, that was Shao Daoyuan, a Golden Sword Saint. No way he could lose to Gao Xuan.

It was just that the Thunder Light was too overwhelming, and no one knew what had happened.

Looking around, all the Golden Calendula flowers on the mountain had been scorched to charcoal by the Thunder Light, and many Golden Calendula Trees had been severed in half, emitting trails of black smoke.

Over twenty Flying Cars, unable to escape in time, were all destroyed by the Thunder Light. The occupants inside were probably killed by the Thunder Light as well.

Lin Yuan, Wang Zizheng, and others were experts. Even though they couldn't see with their eyes, they could observe the battlefield through Spiritual Sensing and other methods.

Yet for the moment, they couldn't find Shao Daoyuan.

Seeing Gao Xuan breaking through the void, everyone's hearts were filled with terror.

Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng, both being Patriarchs, had to preserve the dignity of their positions. They didn't want to flee in disgrace. Moreover, being so close, it was impossible to escape.

Both Patriarchs forced themselves to remain calm, having no choice but to gamble everything at this point.

Gao Xuan casually struck, severely injuring both men. How could they resist before Gao Xuan? Even the few Silver Sword Heroes were of no use.

Gao Xuan stopped above them and sighed lightly, "Isn't living well enough? Why do you like to court death?"

Everyone's expressions were grim. They gripped their Longswords tightly, but no one dared make a move.

Lin Yuan forced himself to ask calmly, "Where did Mr. Shao go?"

"Heh heh..."

Gao Xuan laughed, "The person you invited, yet you ask me where he went. That's really funny."

He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll be merciful and tell you since you asked sincerely. Shao Daoyuan was defeated by my sword, overwhelmed with shame, and sliced himself in two with his sword."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan and others were like being struck by lightning, dumbfounded.

They all had one thought: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Even if Shao Daoyuan's Source Power level was suppressed, his Combat Awareness and Swordsmanship were all at the Golden Level. Not to mention, such a strong person would certainly possess various powerful Marvels.

How could Shao Daoyuan lose? How could he die?

Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng came to their senses, looking at Gao Xuan with full suspicion.

But given Gao Xuan's dominance, even if they didn't believe it, they didn't dare question him face-to-face.

Gao Xuan said with some emotion, "Shao Daoyuan's Swordsmanship was weak, but his character was bold and upright, a real man. Respect, respect..."

Killing a Golden Sword Saint was certainly glorious, but outrightly killing someone in public was not legal. Gao Xuan would never admit to murder.

As for what others thought, it didn't matter. Nobody could produce evidence anyway.

With his military status, he wasn't afraid of a legal battle. The worst-case scenario was to accuse Shao Daoyuan of being a spy.

Since the man was dead, he could say whatever he wanted.

The Xiao Family, a large Noble Family, was best at reversing black and white, framing, mislabeling, doing whatever they liked, and bullying others...

Gao Xuan said to Lin Yuan and the others, "You're lucky to have encountered me this time. Shao Daoyuan was extremely murderous and would've used his ultimate killing move to wipe out your families.

"If I hadn't saved you, you'd all be dead by Shao Daoyuan..."

Lin Yuan was furious, "So you say you severely injured us, and it's for our own good?"

"Glad you understand."

Gao Xuan said slowly, "This is a life-saving grace. If you have a conscience, think about how to repay me properly."

"Gao Xuan, don't push it too far."

Wang Zizheng couldn't hold back, believing Gao Xuan didn't dare to kill them, his courage grew.

Gao Xuan's face became solemn, an endless Sword Intent enveloped everyone.

Lin Yuan, Wang Zizheng, and the others were intimidated by the Sword Intent, their expressions changed dramatically, some even uncontrollably trembling.

"Anyone dissatisfied, draw your sword to fight."

Gao Xuan said disdainfully, "Do you dare?"

People were angry and fearful, but truly no one dared to accept the challenge. Clearly, drawing a sword meant death.

"A bunch of trash dares to shout."

Gao Xuan lost interest in dealing with this group, driving the Sword Qi to form a silver rainbow, breaking through the air and leaving.

Lin Yuan stared at the lingering rainbow in the sky and suddenly shouted, "It's him, the one who broke into Lanting Garden and killed Lan Chang'an. It's really him!"

Everyone was shocked, then came to their senses.

So it was Gao Xuan who single-handedly broke into Lanting Garden and killed Lan Chang'an. It all made sense now.

Members of the Lin and Wang families quickly arrived at the scene and soon found Shao Daoyuan's body slashed in two.

Looking at the gruesome death of Shao Daoyuan, everyone cursed internally: Gao Xuan was too arrogant, cutting someone in half and still claiming it was suicide! Truly, what a bastard!
