King of Assassins
Chapter 1031 - 690: Thank You (Part 3)
Gao Xuan had to admit, this scene was exceptionally beautiful, with an almost dreamlike illusory quality.
Moreover, the Ice Power of the Dragon Pearl was so strong that it froze the invisible astral wind into a solid state, creating the extraordinary spectacle before them.
Gao Xuan had long heard that the North Sea Dragon Palace specialized in harnessing Ice Power. Now that he saw it, it truly lived up to its reputation.
This intense and fierce Ice Power was a hundred times stronger than Yu Xiu's Flower of Cold Solitude. However, it fell short in terms of its artistry.
Yu Xiu's Flower of Cold Solitude contained an eternal cold stillness, this power reached into the depths of the Divine Soul, capable even of freezing time.
If Ao Qiong possessed Yu Xiu's understanding of Ice Power, then he would truly have to be careful.
Unfortunately, Ao Qiong merely relied on the Dragon Race's innate ability to manipulate ice; while strong, it lacked refinement.
Bullying ordinary Human Immortals is possible, but when facing truly skilled Daoists, this Dragon Pearl becomes too crude.
Gao Xuan had many ways to adapt, but after considering, he decided to activate the Jun Heaven Wheel.
The freshly refined Jun Heaven Wheel was, according to his estimation, at the level of an Immortal Artifact. As for its exact strength, that was harder to determine.
Although Ao Qiong's Dragon Pearl was crude, its Power was sufficiently strong. Especially the Ultimate Yin Ice Power, which was exceptionally fierce and domineering.
If ordinary Human Immortals were swept by the cold, their Divine Soul would freeze into ice shards.
Thinking of this, Gao Xuan activated his Divine Sense, unleashing the Jun Heaven Wheel.
The Jun Heaven Wheel appeared behind Gao Xuan's head, its color red-gold, with the seven-color Primordial Magnetic Divine Light inside constantly shifting.
Gao Xuan was already unmatched in appearance, his deep yellow long robe seemed ethereal. With a red-gold light wheel behind his head, he appeared even more sacred and dignified, almost having the demeanor of a Celestial Immortal.
Ao Qiong was taken aback, while he loathed and detested Gao Xuan, he had to admit that Gao Xuan looked impressive. He thought to himself, this kid really knows how to put on a show. However, he seemed to consider taking the Magical Treasure for himself...
Though Ao Qiong was over six thousand years old, he thought as simply as a young man.
It is precisely this simplicity that made Ao Qiong eager to confront Gao Xuan personally.
A more composed member of the Dragon Race would never act personally. Without understanding the other's strengths and weaknesses and without any deep-seated grievances, to come and shout for battle over a small matter and even involve oneself is not very wise.
The North Sea Dragon Palace, being called such, already formed a complete system.
The Dragon King was high above, ruling over various Water Monster Great Demons. It could be said he was the emperor in the water. ππ«πππ¨ππ―ππ πππ.ππΌπ
Even if Ao Qiong was not favored, he still held the title of Sixth Prince. Yet, he immediately went to confront Gao Xuan, showing a lack of intelligence.
Seeing Gao Xuan activate the Jun Heaven Wheel, Ao Qiong was not concerned about the power of the Magical Treasure but rather took a keen interest in the Jun Heaven Wheel's flashy appearance.
The accompanying Profound Turtle and Water Patrol Yaksha were more reliable.
Especially the Profound Turtle, who had gone through the Nine Tribulations and was a Great Demon. In terms of cultivation and Dao Practice, he surpassed Golden Horn significantly.
The Profound Turtle, having long a lifespan and residing in the Dragon Palace for years, had seen countless Exotic Treasures.
Looking at the red-gold light wheel containing Divine Light, constantly changing, immeasurable.
The Profound Turtle felt a tightness in his heart, as even with his discerning eye, he could not identify the origin and might of this Magical Treasure. The situation seemed dire.
He hurriedly used his Divine Sense to remind Ao Qiong, "Lord, this Magical Treasure seems quite extraordinary, be careful of being caught off guard..."
Ao Qiong was indifferent, "My Dragon Pearl has been refined for six thousand years, able to break Human Race Immortal Artifacts in a single blow. This thing is unqualified to withstand the Dragon Pearl."
The Dragon Pearl, transformed into a streak of silver light, reached Gao Xuan's front, while the Jun Heaven Wheel behind him silently spun. The seven-color Primordial Magnetic Divine Light inside radiated out, covering Gao Xuan with a layer of faint red-gold radiance.
Then, with a flash of silver light, the Dragon Pearl was taken by the Jun Heaven Wheel.
Within the Jun Heaven Wheel, the seven-color Primordial Magnetic Divine Light was sharp yet intense, yet it was dense like water, formless and intangible.
The Ice Power within the Dragon Pearl was strong, but upon being engulfed by the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, its Ice Power was gradually dissolved layer by layer. The Ice Power failed to freeze the flowing light-like Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.
More importantly, although Ao Qiong had refined the Dragon Pearl for thousands of years, making it a part of himself, under the unique power of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, the connection between the Dragon Pearl and Ao Qiong's Divine Soul was forcibly severed.
In the clash of powerful Magical Artifacts, the contention was about the Law Power inherent within them and their refined transformations.
Magical Artifacts like the Dragon Pearl, with strong power but simple transformations, were naturally restrained by the Jun Heaven Wheel.
Ao Qiong sensed trouble and his face changed dramatically. No matter how he attempted to activate his Divine Sense, he could not sense the Dragon Pearl's presence.
This shocked Ao Qiong; the Dragon Pearl he had refined for six thousand years was forcibly taken. How could this be!
With Ao Qiong's experience and wisdom, he could hardly accept this turn of events; he dazed for a moment.
Though the Profound Turtle reacted quickly, realizing the situation was grim, he urgently reminded Ao Qiong, "Lord, quickly use the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword."
Only then did Ao Qiong realize, Gao Xuan had indeed taken the Dragon Pearl.
He let out a sharp cry and drew the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword.
The silver-white Divine Sword was about four feet long, its crystalline blade exquisite and translucent, as if carved from ice.
Although Ao Qiong was not a Sword Master, as a member of the North Sea Dragon Race, he naturally possessed Divine Techniques to command Ice Power.
In this moment of shock and anger, Ao Qiong poured his entire powerful Divine Soul Power cultivated for over six thousand years into the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword.
The Sword Light of the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword flashed slightly, its divine essence self-concealed; at such a level of powerful Divine Artifact, it would not recklessly unleash its power.
