King of Assassins
Chapter 1219 - 747: Suisui the White Fox (Part 3)
The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw is already a top-tier Earth Artifact, and even this slight improvement is a significant advancement.
The Celestial Fox’s Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors and Celestial Fox Claw are quite powerful, with unique variations. However, compared to the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw, they are a level inferior.
The Dark Gold Claw Blade stretched out and forcibly severed the layers of Earth Immortal Laws in the void, grasping the Celestial Fox directly in its clutch.
The Celestial Fox sensed danger, as the formidable and poisonous powers of the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw pressed her down tightly, leaving her unable to deploy the Celestial Fragrance Nine-Color Banner.
This time, the Celestial Fox was truly panicked, hurriedly pleading desperately.
However, Gao Xuan wouldn’t allow the Celestial Fox to say more; with a fit of the Dark Gold Claw Blade, her body was crushed into pieces.
The Celestial Fox’s nine tails struggled and thrashed, but the supremely toxic and mighty force of the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw crushed all her nine lives.
In an instant, the Celestial Fox turned into a puff of black smoke, merging into the Dark Gold Claw Blade.
The Celestial Fox, who dominated the Celestial Fox Plain for a million years as the Demon Emperor, vanished in smoke.
Gao Xuan felt no pity; the Celestial Fox’s beauty was merely to deceive others. Her appearance, every action, behavior, and body were all filled with calculations.
This fox was not a good fox.
The only commendable aspect was the Celestial Fox Claw and Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors. Strictly speaking, these two were two sides of the same coin.
Gao Xuan had great interest in the Celestial Fox Claw; he had to admit, ignoring defense was indeed a lethal trick against enemies.
Coupled with the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw, who could withstand a blow from him?
Therefore, Gao Xuan did not hurry to leave after killing the Celestial Fox.
With the White Bone Demon Emperor and Nine-headed Dragon King left, it was not a threat.
The urgent task was to study the Celestial Fox Claw, to comprehend its mysteries.
There were still many subordinates of the Celestial Fox in the Underground Palace; the intense battle just now, while quiet, was a confrontation at the Earth Immortal level.
Even the radiating power frantically killed half of the demon race within the Underground Palace.
After the battle concluded, the surviving demon kings nervously approached to check the situation.
As a result, this group of demons saw only Gao Xuan standing at the center of the Underground Palace, lost in thought.
Gao Xuan was strikingly handsome, of unparalleled grace. But in the eyes of the demons, at this moment Gao Xuan appeared terrifyingly fierce.
Since Gao Xuan was unharmed, the ones in trouble must have been the Celestial Fox.
The numerous demon kings glanced from afar, none daring to come closer, and they rushed out.
Gao Xuan, disturbed by the aura of these demons, swept his left hand, eradicating all demons within the Celestial Fox Palace using the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw.
To Gao Xuan, these demon kings were like mosquitoes, easily extinguished.
With all the demons annihilated, the Celestial Fox Palace returned to silence.
Gao Xuan extracted the Celestial Fox’s memories and reviewed her life in detail.
Despite appearing as a delicate woman, the Celestial Fox had devoured and slain countless demons on her rise.
She switched hundreds of lovers, each having their own skills.
Just as Gao Xuan expected, the Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors indeed originated from the divine techniques of the Celestial Fox Claw.
Why can the Celestial Fox Claw ignore defense? Because, like the Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors, it bypasses conventional defense measures, directly targeting the enemy’s Divine Soul true form.
Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors seemingly stems from sound and color perceptions, yet they do not actually manifest in the eyes and ears of living beings.
As long as perceptually intelligent beings perceive Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors, they will be tainted and eroded by it.
The same goes for the Celestial Fox Claw, connecting via perception to directly target the opponent’s Divine Soul true form. Unless the opponent can precisely sever their own perception, fully master their Divine Soul and mind to remain immune to external interference.
From Gao Xuan’s perspective, even the Celestial Immortal might not achieve this level.
His Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body is so profound, yet he inevitably gets caught. Gao Xuan doesn’t believe Celestial Immortals are stronger than him!
Of course, Gao Xuan doesn’t have a definitive understanding of Celestial Immortals yet. Based on texts and various secret technique inheritances, Celestial Immortals are powerful but not unreachable.
Like Ksitigarbha King, an Earth Immortal as strong as he cannot be less than a Celestial Immortal.
Using Ksitigarbha King as a benchmark, he should be about equal to him now.
However, in the Abyss, he cannot fight against Ksitigarbha King.
The Abyss is even more vast and profound than the Primordial Celestial Realm, as the Master of the Abyss, typical Celestial Immortals can’t compete with Ksitigarbha King in the Abyss.
Gao Xuan deduced based on various traces, though not entirely accurate, decent enough.
So, Gao Xuan values the Celestial Fox Claw greatly.
In contrast, the Nine-headed Dragon King and White Bone Demon Emperor can be set aside temporarily. The two demon emperors cannot escape.
If they truly abandon everything and flee, Gao Xuan would admire their decisiveness.
Gao Xuan focused on comprehending the Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors, perceiving the Earth Immortal Law from the Celestial Fox.
This was the Celestial Fox’s Innate Divine Techniques, needing no study to wield. At this Earth Immortal stage, one must understand every change of their Divine Techniques to consolidate the Earth Immortal Law.
Through the analysis of the Earth Immortal Law, Gao Xuan gradually grasped the Celestial Fragrance Nine-Color Law.
Though he didn’t have the Celestial Fox’s Innate Divine Techniques, his Divine Soul was exceptionally sharp. Through constant refinement by the Great Leiyin True Words, it was nearly perfect.
Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors, in its low tier, starts with sound and color, as these are the two most important ways beings perceive the world.
At a much higher level, Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors begins from the layers of the mind and Divine Soul.
Gao Xuan reviewed the Celestial Fox’s memories, extracted her Divine Soul essence, analyzed her Earth Immortal Law, and quickly grasped the mysteries of Celestial Fragrance Nine Colors.
He reverted the Celestial Fragrance Nine-Color Law to the Celestial Fox Claw’s divine techniques and melded them into the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw.
This process wasn’t difficult. The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw inherently possessed the ability to absorb and integrate external forces.
By integrating the Celestial Fox Claw divine techniques, the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw gained a special ability to ignore defenses.
However, this divine technique alone required an Earth Immortal Law to enhance.
The Celestial Fox had already consolidated the Earth Immortal Law; Gao Xuan’s task was to permanently integrate this law into the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw.
Doing so required absorbing five to seventy percent of the spiritual energy from the Celestial Fox Plain, which would be a permanent significant loss for the Celestial Fox Plain.
Nonetheless, Gao Xuan was unconcerned; he occupied the territory to absorb spiritual energy.
As for the permanent loss for the Celestial Fox Plain, it would only affect demon kings. For low-tier demons, the absence of these great demons is a good thing.
Moreover, the so-called permanent loss of spiritual energy can be gradually adjusted by the power of nature. However, this time must be measured in at least tens of million years.
The drastic change in spiritual energy in the Celestial Fox Plain also caught the attention of neighboring demon emperors, the White Bone Demon Emperor and Nine-headed Dragon King.
Both demon emperors directed their gaze towards the Celestial Fox Plain. At this moment, they were unaware of what transpired, yet they detected the aura of dramatic change...
