King of Assassins-Chapter 984 - 677: The Yellow Oriole (Part 2)
At this moment, Iron Horn couldn't care less about the celestial tribulation lightning illuminating the sky. He punched out, dispersing the radiant lightning to reveal Gao Xuan's true form within the flashes of thunder.
"You've got quite some brute strength."
Gao Xuan said as he casually pointed at the giant fist.
Compared to Iron Horn King's enormous fist, Gao Xuan's pointed finger was like a needle stabbing into a giant iron hammer, with a striking disparity in size.
However, Iron Horn King wasn't the least bit pleased. He felt an overwhelming and endless sharp power penetrated his fist, piercing through bone and flesh, directly targeting his divine soul.
Iron Horn King's divine soul was momentarily halted by that unmatched force, and then his entire right arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The terrifying power shattered the flesh and bones to dust.
Before Iron Horn King could react, Gao Xuan was already in front of him, seizing his thick throat and lifting him up directly.
The scene was quite comical. Like a three-year-old child grabbing Yao Ming's neck and lifting him...
Iron Horn King didn't find it amusing; his neck was as sturdy as a tree, yet Gao Xuan's small hand threatened to break it.
More frighteningly, Gao Xuan's grip held his divine soul firmly.
Despite Iron Horn King's brute strength, he was as weak as a baby, completely at Gao Xuan's mercy.
He was both ashamed and frightened. What kind of method is Gao Xuan using, to be so powerful?
In contrast, the fierce Pure Yang Thunder Light constantly hammering him had skinned him alive, but it was nothing in comparison.
Gao Xuan looked at the huge demon in his hand and asked disappointedly, "Is this all you've got?"
Iron Horn King's eyes bulged with rage, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, yet he couldn't utter a word.
"Such a waste dares to call itself a great demon, what a disgrace."
Seeing Iron Horn King's state, Gao Xuan knew he had exhausted his ability.
Faced with such a weak demon, Gao Xuan lost interest. With a little exertion, Iron Horn King exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Amidst the descending Pure Yang Thunder Light, the blood mist was immediately purified before it could dissipate.
Gao Xuan casually dealt with Iron Horn King but couldn't help feeling somewhat uninterested.
The combat power of such demons is really too weak. Although the great demon's body was trained to be as strong as Vajra, it was far inferior to the Primordial Unity Horizontal Golden Body Training.
Gao Xuan used only two or three parts of his strength to easily crush Iron Horn King.
The Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation triggered couldn't shake his divine soul.
Although his divine soul power was restrained, the divine soul and the Horizontal Golden Body united as one could not be broken by tribulation lightning.
Fortunately, the Pure Yang Power within the tribulation lightning was pure and thick, very suitable for the divine soul to absorb, being a great spiritual medicine.
After crossing this tribulation, Gao Xuan felt it could save him at least a hundred years of cultivation.
More importantly, the celestial tribulation would open the Gate of Origin, allowing Gao Xuan to see the origin laws of the immortal realm and absorb origin energy.
In terms of the immortal realm, it means absorbing Pure Yang Power to purify the divine soul.
This part of the Pure Yang power isn't too important. What's crucial is that this portion of Pure Yang power allows Gao Xuan to truly experience the various changes in the immortal realm's origin.
Gao Xuan previously understood the transformations of the celestial tribulation, but understanding is different from truly experiencing it.
Like watching educational films, it can never replace a personal experience.
Through this celestial tribulation, Gao Xuan truly comprehended part of the Origin Law of the Cyan Celestial Realm.
This understanding enables Gao Xuan to cultivate more quickly and unleash his power more effectively.
The thunder tribulation offers limited enhancement to Gao Xuan, but it is crucial for Ripples.
Ripples were born from Sword Intent Spirit, her divine soul being extremely pure and yin. Although her combat power is strong, she most fears Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation.
Under normal circumstances, one Pure Yang Tribulation Thunder could scatter her soul and utterly destroy her.
But, with the Hongyi Sword given by Gao Xuan, she can calmly face the tribulation lightning and absorb Pure Yang Power from it.
With Gao Xuan's deliberate support and protection, Ripples' divine soul grew rapidly during the thunder tribulation.
For Ripples, this thunder tribulation truly allowed her divine soul to undergo a transformation, becoming a true Spirit Immortal level being.
The tribulation lightning raged, and the entire valley was filled with endless wild thunder light.
The pure Yang Thunder Power of the celestial tribulation overflowed, the radiant thunder light spread across the sky, extending to a thousand miles away.
This thunder tribulation attracted the attention of many Spirit Immortal strong cultivators.
National Preceptor Tao Jun, Jiang Yunfeng, and Zuo Wentao had already gathered together, opened the Heaven-Revealing Mirror, the treasure of Yu Jing Dao.
The enormous Heaven-Revealing Mirror clearly presented the tribulation thunder thousands of miles away.
However, the thunder light at the valley's center was too intense, and the Pure Yang Thunder Power disrupted all magic transformations. Even the Heaven-Revealing Mirror couldn't see the situation at the tribulation lightning center.
Tao Jun and the others watched for a long time but gained nothing, only confirming that the thunder tribulation was certainly triggered by Gao Xuan.
The thunder tribulation hasn't stopped until now, clearly, Gao Xuan is still alive.
As for Iron Horn King inside, the situation may not be favorable.
The reasoning is simple; if Iron Horn King was unharmed, he would have killed Gao Xuan long ago. There's no way he would allow Gao Xuan to calmly cross the tribulation.
"It seems Gao Xuan truly won…" Jiang Yunfeng said with some disbelief.
Zuo Wentao frowned deeply, "Gao Xuan won but it's troublesome, don't forget, Iron Horn King has backing. What if Golden Horn gets involved?"
Jiang Yunfeng was somewhat disdainful of Zuo Wentao's timid demeanor, he said solemnly, "Killing Iron Horn King is definitely good. Besides, we also have elders from the sect; if Golden Horn truly comes, we can seek reinforcements…"
"That's true."
Zuo Wentao shook his head, still disliking the uncontrolled change. Continuing to speak would seem too selfish and timid.
He looked at Tao Jun, "National Preceptor, what do you say?"
Tao Jun smiled bitterly, "Iron Horn has plagued a region, killed millions over hundreds of years, killing him is certainly a good thing. As for what comes after, we can only take it as it comes, dealing with it as it happens…"
He also disliked this kind of change, but he could accept it.
As a National Preceptor, unable to protect Wuyuan Country citizens, he felt uncomfortable. Especially as Iron Horn had been violently rampant for many years, drawing great public resentment.
Removing this demon is undoubtedly a good thing, a righteous act.
Tao Jun understood clearly; he couldn't control Iron Horn King, so it was even more impossible to control Gao Xuan.
At this point, they could only protect themselves first, then see how to respond.
Zuo Wentao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Gao Xuan triggering thunder tribulation to kill Iron Horn King seemed clever but exposed his weaknesses. This method can only be used once. Moreover, Golden Light must have seen it, we don't know how Golden Light will react…"
The Golden Light Arhat mentioned by Zuo Wentao had already arrived at Yunxi Mountain Range, just outside Iron Horn King's cave in the valley.
Golden Light Arhat looked at the intense thunder light in the valley, his golden eyes cold as a glacier.
He thought to himself, "Triggering thunder tribulation to kill a demon, he's got guts. After the thunder tribulation is over, I'd like to see how much strength you have left…"
