King of Assassins-Chapter 936 - 653: Apologies

The phantom of Hercules quickly dissipated, completely vanished.

In this cosmos, there was no longer any trace of Hercules's divine soul. The only mark he left behind was the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade.

This Super First-Grade Divine Artifact possessed terrifying power.

After all, it was Hercules's millennium of accumulation, and he also sacrificed his remnant soul.

Gao Xuan looked at the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade in his hand, neither happy nor sad, just somewhat wistful.

To be honest, Hercules was also a king of his era. He didn't want Hercules to cling to life like a ghost.

It's just that Hercules's departure in such a fierce manner was not a good ending.

Frankly, the Super First-Grade Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade is indeed excellent. Even now, the Holy Hall likely doesn't have many artifacts of this level.

Yet Gao Xuan didn't care too much. If he were to regain his power, the artifact either mattered or not. Without recovering his power, he couldn't utilize the artifact's potential.

As for whether he'd fulfill his promise, Hercules wouldn't know anymore.

Gao Xuan would certainly fulfill his promise; although he sometimes felt down, he always delivered on his words.

This wasn't just Hercules's revenge; it was also his great vengeance.

A bunch of clowns usurping his authority and acting recklessly — they must pay the price.

Returning it a hundredfold is definitely not just a slogan.

However, Hercules was too impatient, and he spoke too little about events a thousand years ago; he didn't even mention Helen's whereabouts.

There's no doubt Helen isn't dead; it's just unknown where she has gone.

The cosmos is so vast, there's no need to go to another world; just escaping outside the Milky Way Galaxy would be enough.

If there are no clues, even if he sweeps away the scoundrels and retakes the Holy Hall, he likely won't find Helen.

"Father-in-law, you were too anxious..."

Gao Xuan internally criticized, feeling embarrassed to say too much since the person was already dead, and even at the point of death, they pressed on.

Returning to the Holy Hall, Yuan Youyuan was still in meditation. She was completely unaware of his outing.

Gao Xuan lay down beside Yuan Youyuan; now he had time to study the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade.

This Super First-Grade Divine Artifact, forged with his father-in-law's divine soul, contains three strong divine techniques.

The first divine technique is the Netherworld King's Soul-Slaying Blade, specifically targeting divine souls.

It's similar to the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip, but its power far exceeds that of the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip.

Even the Evil God wouldn't withstand a strike from the Netherworld King's Soul-Slaying Blade.

The second divine technique is the Netherworld Divine Realm, capable of establishing a vast Netherworld.

The changes in this sort of spatial divine realm are complex, with powerful abilities that Gao Xuan cannot yet test to determine how strong it is.

This level of divine artifact is exceptionally complex; although Gao Xuan possesses a powerful divine soul, he can't fully comprehend it immediately.

The third divine technique is the Netherworld King's Order.

This technique is particularly interesting; it allows for capturing and commanding the divine souls of slain strong individuals to serve oneself.

Extracting divine souls and reading memories are basic abilities that come with it.

These three divine techniques come with the Netherworld King's Saber, and the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade's original powers have been preserved and forcibly elevated to a Super First-Grade state by the Netherworld King's Saber.

In other words, aside from the three divine techniques of the Netherworld King, the Demon-Sundering Blade itself has been upgraded to Super First-Grade power.

The method of forging this artifact via forced divine soul sacrifice is exceedingly crude.

Only the Netherworld King's accumulation of 300 billion divine souls, along with Hercules's divine soul as a catalyst, could achieve such results.

If Gao Xuan were to craft it, the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade could reach even higher levels.

Of course, Gao Xuan wouldn't do that; he's not crazy enough to use his own father-in-law's divine soul to craft an artifact.

Gao Xuan's research revealed a significant problem: with his current divine soul power, wielding the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade is exceedingly difficult.

Elevating from Third Grade to Super First Grade is like turning a cannonball into a hydrogen bomb; the gap is immense.

With his current power, it's already challenging to unleash the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade, let alone control it.

So, for the time being, he couldn't use this thing.

However, the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade itself holds tremendous value.

Third-Grade Spirit Transformation, Second Grade to be selected, First Grade for Divine Communication.

An artifact reaching First Grade is undeniably a divine artifact on any level.

A Super First-Grade Divine Artifact signifies the manifestation of rules; the artifact itself can transform into a divine realm, possessing supreme power.

Hercules truly hadn't been idle over the past thousand years; the absorption of so many divine souls and wisdom had led to his unique understanding of the cultivation system.

A divine artifact like the Netherworld King's Saber is a top-notch artifact in the Alliance, even if its powers are not further enhanced.

The cultivation system has become more deeply and meticulously analyzed for cultivation, but the extension of power limits is minimal.

Hercules transformed the Netherworld King's Saber, genuinely enhancing its power.

The key is the millennium of accumulation, absorbing hundreds of billions of divine souls. This immense power was wholly converted into the Netherworld King's Saber, an astonishing feat.

The Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade also inherited this advantage — it can continually enhance its power by hunting divine souls.

In this regard, the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade could be held enduringly.

Limited by his environment, Gao Xuan could only quietly learn the wonderful runes of the Netherworld King's Demon-Sundering Blade.

Even the nearby Yuan Youyuan didn't know Gao Xuan had acquired such a world-shaking divine artifact.

Shui Yunlan knew Gao Xuan had gone out but didn't concern herself with such trivial matters. What could Gao Xuan, with his mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, possibly do on his own? Hunt an Evil God?

Even if Gao Xuan had the capability, the force unleashed by an Evil God would cause enormous changes and couldn't possibly go unnoticed.
