King of Assassins

Becoming a Golden Level life form signifies a massive evolution in the tier of life.

Now, every cell in Gao Xuan's body is glowing.

This is, of course, Gao Xuan's own feeling. Undoubtedly, including past and present lives, this moment is his peak condition.

Gao Xuan opened his data panel to check his real status.

Name: Gao Xuan

Gender: Male

Age: 19 years old.

Height: 188.88888 cm.

Weight: 100000.00000 grams.

Constitution: 38 (Celestial Dragon Eye +8)

Spirit: 42 (Celestial Dragon Eye +2)

Power: 38 (Celestial Dragon Eye +6)

Agility: 38 (Aurora Sword +2)

Source Power Level: Level 16 (Golden)

Total Source Power: 20 million units

Aurora Swordsmanship: Golden Fifth Level

Flying Swallow Dual Blade Technique: Golden Fifth Level

Five Elements Twelve Techniques: Golden Fifth Level

Thunder Divine Monarch: Golden Sixth Level.

Water Heaven Sword: Golden Sixth Level.

Six-winged Celestial Cicada: Lifebound Marvel. Fusion of Undying Golden Cicada and Mechanical Battle Cicada.

Superpower: Golden Wind Unmoving, the Cicada Awakens First, Golden Cicada Shell, Celestial Cicada Transformation, Mechanical Combat Body, Eight Extremes Divine Weapon.

This time, Gao Xuan's biggest advancement upon leveling up is in Spiritual Power, which skyrocketed by four points, soaring to 42 points.

Forty points are the threshold of top-tier Gold.

Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power reaching forty-two points means his Spiritual Power has increased fivefold, reaching the level of top-tier Gold.

Because of refining the Golden Spirit Core, Gao Xuan's efficiency in using Spiritual Power has also increased tenfold.

This is where the true power of a Golden level powerhouse lies.

Next is constitution and agility, power, which improved by six points, elevating elevenfold.

The data improvement is quite remarkable, though the base numbers are far less than the spiritual attributes. The gap with spiritual attributes is even greater.

A balance across the three physical attributes is far more convenient than emphasizing a single attribute.

Previously, Gao Xuan's agility was too high, wholly reliant on strong Spiritual Power to control. Even so, extremely high agility posed a significant burden on the body.

The fusion with Mechanical Battle Cicada compensated for Gao Xuan's weaknesses in power and constitution, allowing agility, power, and constitution to improve evenly.

Even though Gao Xuan is now only at Level 16, in terms of data, he has already surpassed his peak of the previous life.

In the future, he still has limitless potential for progress.

Gao Xuan is very satisfied with this advancement. Particularly, the Tier Three Cube Spirit Core allows for complex combinations and changes for a stable spirit core.

Ordinary Golden powerhouses have stable and strong spirit cores that are unchangeable. This means Golden powerhouses can only specialize in certain aspects of Source Power.

The Tier Three Cube Spirit Core allows Gao Xuan to alter the state of his spirit core through different combination sequences, enabling him to handle Source Power of various attributes.

After Gao Xuan achieved Gold, his spirit core naturally left a deep imprint in the depths of the Sea of Source Power.

Golden powerhouses can use the spiritual imprint to connect deeper and more closely with the Sea of Source Power, leisurely mobilizing Source Power.

This spiritual imprint is essentially a direct channel to the Sea of Source Power, equivalent to unlocking higher-level access to the Sea of Source Power.

Gao Xuan's current Source Power limit is 20 million units, which is his power ceiling.

This Source Power level has reached the middle-tier Golden level. With Gao Xuan's strong Spiritual Power and Six-winged Celestial Cicada, his current combat power should be able to sweep through middle-tier Gold.

Gao Xuan, with experience from two lifetimes, has a deep understanding of Golden level power. He knows profoundly how mighty he is now.

And this is just his own power. Including the Godslaying Sword, Celestial Dragon Eye, Celestial Spirit Sword Box, Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, he is even stronger.

After Gao Xuan advanced to Gold, his strong Spiritual Power can now fully control the Celestial Dragon Eye, allowing it to transform into human eye form.

Always keeping his eyes closed pretending to be mysterious is pretty interesting. But, after all, it lacks one way of observing the external world. With the Celestial Dragon Eye, Gao Xuan can observe more information.

For a powerhouse at the Golden level, this is absolutely necessary.

Gao Xuan is already very familiar with several other Golden level marvels. After advancing to Gold, his control over these Golden marvels also improved significantly.

In other words, these Golden marvels can exhibit stronger power in his hands.

The real surprise is the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon.

The Eight Extremes Divine Weapon is part of the Mechanical Combat Body, and also the supreme Divine Weapon War Emperor once wielded across the cosmos.

The Eight Extremes Divine Weapon is the ultimate weapon crafted by the Mechanical Divine Court. Indeed, one could regard the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon as a marvel.

Because of its various special technologies, the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon is complex and profound, far surpassing modern human technological civilization.

For example, the first form of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, the Void Battleship.

The enormous metal hull, kilometers long, can be transformed into an external accessory of the Mechanical Combat Body through quantum state superposition. The advanced complexity of this technology is conceivable.

After Gao Xuan achieved Gold, with the fusion of the spirit core and Six-winged Celestial Cicada, he naturally received the information retained within the Mechanical Battle Cicada. He also grasped the basic situation of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon.

The Void Battleship can roam the stars via the Neutron Star Pulse Energy Furnace, even conducting space jumps directly without requiring space nodes.

The Void Battleship is an extremely powerful interstellar battleship, more advanced than humanity's most sophisticated battleship today.

However, to operate the Void Battleship normally requires a massive consumption of spiritual energy.

Gao Xuan calculated that his Spiritual Power needs to reach at least fifty points to control this battleship everywhere he wants.

His current Spiritual Power is still far from sufficient. The Void Battleship can only be a reserve tool for now.

The second form of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, the Gamma Ray Killing Spear. It shoots gamma rays simultaneously from eight mechanical arms.

The higher the energy level input from the Neutron Star Pulse Energy Furnace, the stronger the Gamma Ray Killing Spear's power.

The gamma ray radiation is exceptionally terrifying, posing a huge threat to low-grade life forms.

According to Gao Xuan's understanding, the Gamma Ray Killing Spear is entirely designed for clearing out miscellaneous enemies. Since the ray itself is linear, its speed is limited in posing a threat to strong entities.

The third form of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, the Antimatter Annihilation Cannon.

Eight mechanical arms consolidate into a massive cannon, launching devastating attacks on targets.

With the energy Gao Xuan can currently mobilize, blasting apart a moon-sized planet shouldn't be a problem. Such power is a tremendous threat to interstellar battleships, asteroids, and other massive targets.

The fourth form of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Primordial Magnetic Ten Directions Shield.

By activating the primordial magnetic field through eight mechanical arms, a powerful shield can be formed to block various attacks.

The so-called Ten Directions Shield has no blind spots. As long as the primordial magnetic field isn't broken, Gao Xuan won't suffer any damage.

However, Gao Xuan doesn't really feel anything for the Primordial Magnetic Ten Directions Shield. After all, he's an assassin, who strikes successfully and then retreats a thousand miles.

He desires grace and mystery.

Charging head-on with the Primordial Magnetic Ten Directions Shield is a bit too foolish.

The fifth state of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Quantum Sky-breaking Divine Wings.

Formed by the eight mechanical arms, Gao Xuan can perform spatial teleportation with these wings. As long as his spiritual power is sufficient, he can ignore spatial distances and teleport at will.

This is also Gao Xuan's favorite ability of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon.

Gao Xuan has the Celestial Dragon Eye and the Shadowless Cicada Wing Sword, which allow him to fly at high speeds.

But he has always been restricted by space, unable to teleport spatially.

In his previous life, he could perform short-distance teleportation through special marvels, but with considerable limitations.

Quantum Sky-breaking Divine Wings truly resolved his interstellar commuting issues.

Unrestricted spatial teleportation also has immense significance in close-quarters combat.

Combat is fundamentally about control over space and energy.

The Quantum Sky-breaking Divine Wings give him an absolute advantage in space. Even against a powerhouse he can't match, he can come and go freely.

The sixth form of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon: Infinite Iron Fist.

Infinite Iron Fist is fairly straightforward, essentially the perfect mechanical combat skill inherent in the mechanical combat body.

However, with the boost of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, the power of Infinite Iron Fist has no upper limit. It is the strongest combat skill of the mechanical civilization.

The last two forms of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Absolute Force Field and Soul Chain, cannot be activated. Gao Xuan's spiritual power is too weak for these.

There is no detailed introduction for these two forms, just their names.

Gao Xuan couldn't infer much from the names, but since they are the last two forms of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, they must be immensely powerful.

Right now, he can't control them, so there's no need to speculate further.

Among the six forms of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Infinite Iron Fist is compatible with the other five forms.

Indeed, void battleships can also transform into giant humanoid battle armor forms to engage in combat, utilizing Infinite Iron Fist.

After sorting out his own state and the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Gao Xuan took a set of clothes from Bai Yutang and put them on.

As for the golden silkworm cocoon he left behind, it had long since turned into Source Power Particles and dissipated.

Gao Xuan regretfully surveyed the expansive hall, this folding space within the Yanshi Ruins, which doesn't belong to the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon and which he couldn't take away.

Within this folding space, there was only the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon. Since he had obtained it and become a golden powerhouse, there was no need to linger.

Gao Xuan said to Yun Qingshang and Bai Yutang, "Let's go."

Bai Yutang nodded, while Yun Qingshang pondered a moment and reminded him, "Jin Guangshan should still be waiting outside."

"Haha..."

Gao Xuan laughed, "I just hope that old dog hasn't run off out of impatience."

Bai Yutang looked a bit surprised, "Is it Jin Guangshan from the Jin Family of the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm?"

Though her rank is low, she's heard of Jin Guangshan's renown.

"That's him."

Gao Xuan said, "Don't worry, you'll see him soon enough."

Gao Xuan activated the Third-tier Mechanical Rubik's Cube with his spiritual power, reopening the passage from the folding space to reality.

Before Gao Xuan and the others could exit, a flash of shadow heralded Jin Guangshan already rushing in through the passage.

Jin Guangshan, seeing the empty expansive hall, displayed a hint of disappointment on his aged face.

Inside this special space, there was astonishingly nothing except a relatively dense Source Power.

Such a secretive space must conceal the secrets of the mechanical civilization.

It seemed that Gao Xuan had obtained this secret.

Jin Guangshan darted his old eyes towards Gao Xuan, catching sight of the open eyes of Gao Xuan.

When their eyes met, Gao Xuan's were like a starry sky, deep and brilliantly radiant, making Jin Guangshan momentarily absent-minded.

"This kid seems even more handsome, his opened eyes bearing an indescribable charisma..."

Jin Guangshan, an old golden powerhouse, had sharp perception, immediately noticing a noticeable change in Gao Xuan.

From spirit to body, the Gao Xuan before him seemed like a different person. But exactly what had changed, even he couldn't pinpoint.

Jin Guangshan, pondering this, asked with surprise, "Have you advanced to Gold?"

Gao Xuan grinned confidently, "That's right, I'm a golden powerhouse now. Are you scared?"

"A mere initial-tier Gold dares to act presumptuously before me."

Jin Guangshan's old face was full of disdain, although inwardly he was incredibly shocked. Gao Xuan was only nineteen, how had he become a golden level?

Unable to comprehend it, he had resolved in his heart that since they were already adversaries, he must kill him to eliminate future threats.

Jin Guangshan's old face darkened as he drew out the Celestial River Sword, "Boy, you deserve to die."

"I'm a bit curious, why do you insist on killing me?" Gao Xuan asked.

Jin Guangshan sneered coldly, "Standing in the way of the Jin family deserves death. Isn't that reason enough?"

Gao Xuan nodded, "I was just asking casually, no need to gnash your teeth in anger."

Jin Guangshan didn't want to bicker with Gao Xuan, and was just about to swing his sword to deal with him when Gao Xuan suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

"?" Jin Guangshan was a bit puzzled, not understanding what Gao Xuan wanted to do.

Inside this enclosed space, delaying time held no meaning.

Gao Xuan smiled politely, "I just wanted to ask, how do you want to die?"

"Will I beat you to death? Or let me chop you to death?"

"Damn..."

Jin Guangshan was truly a bit angry; this kid was too arrogant.

His hand shook the Celestial River Sword, and the Celestial River Sword Qi poured towards Gao Xuan like a torrent.
