King of Assassins-Chapter 595 - 463 Soul Chain

The Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons are invisible and formless, and they feed specifically on the Divine Souls of cultivators. These twelve Celestial Demons, refined and cultivated by generations of powerhouses from the Profound Emperor Sect, have all reached the top-grade Nascent Soul level.
Ordinary Divine Soul-type defensive magic and magical artifacts are useless in front of the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons.
Under normal circumstances, a single Profound City Celestial Demon can easily annihilate a Nascent Soul. When the twelve Celestial Demons form the Profound City Array and jointly unleash the Soul-Devouring Hand, they pose a certain threat even to Mahayana powerhouses.
Even the Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch can't withstand such a grasp from the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons.
Xue Tiejun, wielding the Celestial Demon Order, has killed two powerful Divinity Transformation enemies and thus became renowned in the East Profound Continent.
However, outsiders are unaware of his abilities, let alone the Celestial Demon Order.
Holding the Celestial Demon Order, Xue Tiejun can see the immense black figures of the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons. The demons' faces are blurred, with only their two abyss-like eyes emitting a deep glow.
The Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons float in the air, and their enormous figures shroud a few hundred meters area.
Yuanbao and Shui Qingbo are also enveloped by the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons. Normally, being shrouded by the twelve demons, these two Nascent Souls would have difficulty preserving their Divine Souls.
However, the Five Elements Wheel on Yuanbao emits a Five-Colored Light Wheel that completely blocks the demons' soul-devouring power.
Xue Tiejun is somewhat surprised; the magic power driven by Five Elements Primordial Qi is great, yet it lacks the variation to protect the Divine Soul. This is also a flaw of the Five Elements Magic.
In the Five-Colored Light Wheel activated by Yuanbao, countless micro crystal lights flicker unsteadily. These micro crystal lights carry the peculiar Primordial Magnetic Power, forcibly resisting the demonic Soul-Devouring power.
Primordial Magnetic Divine Light?
Xue Tiejun recognizes the magic wielded by Yuanbao, observing that the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light can resist the erosion of the Divine Soul by the demons. However, he doesn't pay much attention, merely waiting to first eliminate Gao Xuan and break the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Light; capturing this young Nascent Soul would then be easy.
The Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons, under Xue Tiejun's Divine Sense, extend twenty-four massive claws into Gao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness and suddenly grab.
Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul is directly seized by the Soul-Devouring Hand.
The foot-tall Nascent Soul, identical in appearance to Gao Xuan, exudes a pure and innocent aura, with a body of clear light, both inside and out.
The members of the Profound Emperor Sect all witness Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul, and many express admiration.
Such a pure and brilliant Nascent Soul, in terms of grade, should be a Tier Nine Nascent Soul, or even a Super Tier Nascent Soul.
At the same Nascent Soul level, different tier Nascent Souls actually represent the degree of alignment with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
The higher the level, the stronger the Primordial Qi the Nascent Soul can wield, and the greater the power it possesses. The path of cultivation will also be broader and grander.
Although well-informed, many of the Profound Emperor Sect's members are seeing such a high-tier Nascent Soul for the first time.
With Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul level, as long as he follows the path of cultivation step by step, he can naturally reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Without exerting force, the twenty-four gigantic black demon claws pull apart Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul directly.
The Nascent Soul, a condensation of a cultivator's Divine Sense, Mana, and Divine Soul, can be seen as a specialized Dharma Aspect, used to carry the Divine Soul and command the boundless Primordial Qi between heaven and earth.
The destruction of the Nascent Soul is naturally a severe blow to a Nascent Soul True Monarch. However, it is not enough to annihilate the Nascent Soul. The Divine Soul is the Nascent Soul's foundation. As long as the Divine Soul remains unscathed, the Nascent Soul True Monarch still has the opportunity to re-coalesce the Nascent Soul.
Nevertheless, Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul turns out to be so fragile, collapsing at a single hit. This makes Xue Tiejun feel disdain, thinking that although this figure seems mysterious and unfathomable, he's merely this weak.
The numerous experts of the Profound Emperor Sect are both surprised and regretful. Surprised that such a powerful Nascent Soul cannot resist the Soul-Devouring Hand of the demons. Regretful that such a high-tier Nascent Soul is thus destroyed.
If it could be captured alive, the Nascent Soul could be used for top-grade materials in Artifact Refining or Alchemy. Unfortunately, this is unlikely.
The crowd also understands this impossibility. Even if the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons can easily destroy Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul, they themselves couldn't pull out Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul.
Not even Xue Tiejun has that capability. This is a unique divine technique of the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only the Celestial Demons excel in manipulating the Divine Soul. Other cultivators, powerhouses, divine beasts, and spiritual birds cannot rival the Celestial Demons in this aspect.
The Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons continue to exert force, with twenty-four Soul-Devouring Hands reaching deep into Gao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.
A cultivator's Sea of Consciousness is vast and endless, making it nearly impossible for intruders to locate the Divine Soul hidden deep within. This is also the most mystical aspect of the Divine Soul.
However, the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons possess innate divine techniques specializing in capturing Divine Souls. The twenty-four formless demon claws resemble a terrifying giant net, instantly grasping the Divine Soul deep within Gao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.
The Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons simultaneously exert the Soul-Devouring Hand once more, forcibly pulling Gao Xuan's Divine Soul out of his Sea of Consciousness.
Even Gao Xuan didn't expect the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons to be so overbearing. His White Tiger Imperfect Golden Body is perfect without a flaw and should resist invisible demons like yin and celestial demons.
Yet the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons completely ignore the White Tiger Imperfect Golden Body, employing techniques that are entirely a special divine technique.
Next, numerous cultivators of the Profound Emperor Sect, who have activated the Extreme Night Spirit Eye, witness Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.
The Extreme Night Spirit Eye is a master technique of the Profound Emperor Sect, capable of piercing darkness and seeing all hidden and ghostly entities. It was precisely with this secret technique that their ancestors were able to subdue the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons.
Within the twenty-four massive, semi-transparent black demon claws, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul is clearly visible.
Surprisingly, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul is wearing a luxuriously exquisite Dark Gold Battle Armor.
This style of armor is entirely different from the protective magical robes and Daoist robes of the Cultivator World, resembling the armor used by ordinary mortals.
Even though many cultivators find this armor somewhat peculiar, they can all discern the fluid, elegant lines of the armor, with intricately designed details at every point. The fully enclosed Profound Gold battle armor exudes a sense of ultimate splendor.
