0.4 seconds.

From the start of the space jump, to the kill of Golden Light Asura, and then returning home, the entire process took a total of 0.4 seconds.

In other words, if an ordinary person sat opposite Gao Xuan, the moment they blinked, Gao Xuan would have completed the entire process of killing the Golden Light Asura. The ordinary person opposite would not have detected anything unusual.

Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with this. In his newly advanced super state, he truly had a sense of unstoppable force.

If they had engaged in a normal battle, even if he could kill the Golden Light Asura, it would definitely cause a great commotion. It would also be impossible to handle the opponent so swiftly and neatly.

The most important aspect was to lock onto the opponent unnoticed and strike first while the opponent was completely unaware.

If he used Divine Sense to lock on, it would definitely trigger Golden Light Asura's sensitivity.

Locking onto the opponent through the imprint in the Sea of Source Power was indeed extremely clever. But after this state passed, Gao Xuan also couldn't lock onto a specific target's imprint amidst the vast Sea of Source Power.

However, this move is a one-time buff, and he'll likely have to wait until he advances to Gold to use it again.

The truly exquisite and powerful technique is the Celestial Cicada Transformation.

The Celestial Cicada Transformation allows Gao Xuan to perform a space jump, arriving with a mere thought—it can also be seen as instant teleportation.

Theoretically, as long as Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power can lock onto space coordinates, he can perform the Celestial Cicada Transformation and instantly teleport there.

Many strong individuals above the Golden Level possess space jumping capabilities.

The most exquisite aspect of the Celestial Cicada Transformation is its ability to instantly traverse space, coming and going without a trace.

Of course, the Celestial Cicada Transformation demands very high Spiritual Power and Source Power, and the consumption is immense.

A single jump consumed most of Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power and Source Power.

Gao Xuan estimated that with his current Spiritual Power, he could directly jump to Pegasus Star. However, jumping back would not be so easy.

Especially in low Source Power environments like Pegasus Star, once jumped there, returning might be impossible.

Even in an environment like Taurus, space jumping is extremely difficult.

If it were other Golden Powerhouses here, it would be hard for them to perform an instant space jump like Gao Xuan.

The spiritual nature of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada is indeed unparalleled.

At least at the Golden Level, no other Golden Powerhouse can compare to Gao Xuan in terms of spiritual nature.

Spiritual nature is not the strongest Spiritual Power, but the most sensitive and agile, capable of the most refined and mysterious operations.

To perform a space jump in an environment like Taurus, only the Celestial Cicada Transformation can complete it with ease.

In his previous life, Gao Xuan often used the Celestial Cicada Transformation to launch surprise attacks, making it his most famous killer move.

The Celestial Cicada Transformation allows for instant jumps, killing enemies during the jump. Often, enemies wouldn't even know how they died, and Gao Xuan wouldn't leave any trace.

During the recent kill of Golden Light Asura, he paused for a brief moment.

However, given his current Source Power level, what he achieved was nearly perfect.

After killing Golden Light Asura, he gained eight thousand points.

Gao Xuan was quite pleased. Yesterday, it was still a troublesome strong enemy, but after advancing, he could casually kill it, earning points effortlessly.

Just one more task to complete, and the annual fee wouldn't be an issue anymore.

His Spiritual Power had surged, and he even had more confidence to capture the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish.

As for Yu Hualong, it was like a little fish in a fish tank, with nowhere to escape.

Gao Xuan fiddled with the golden Golden Sun Mirror; it seemed like a Silver-level marvel.

Truth be told, Golden Light Asura, a member of the Shadow Race, forcibly refined the Golden Light Mirror into a dual state of light and shadow, which was indeed very powerful.

The golden light emitted by the Golden Sun Mirror can transform the body into light, making it immune to most physical damage. The golden light also has a strong corrosiveness, capable of melting gold and iron, and causing severe damage to the human body.

Golden Light Asura became one of the top assassins in the Twelve Star Domain by relying on this move.

Of course, there are still many ways to counter the Golden Sun Mirror. The problem is that Golden Light Asura is an assassin, and he always has the initiative to choose his target.

As a result, he roamed freely across the Twelve Star Domain without encountering any opponents.

Gao Xuan currently possesses quite a few marvels, each with significant extensibility.

The Golden Sun Mirror isn't very useful to him. However, it represents Golden Light Asura's identity, which is very useful indeed.

Gao Xuan took a day to refine the Golden Sun Mirror. From now on, the mirror resided in his Sea of Consciousness.

Generally speaking, high-tier marvels can be completely refined and stored in a non-material form within a person's Spiritual World.

However, refining a marvel requires consuming a lot of Spiritual Power. A Source Power practitioner can handle only a limited number of marvels.

Moreover, different marvels have different Source Power attributes, which can conflict with each other. High-tier marvels stored in the Sea of Consciousness can also exert a strong influence on a person due to their innate traits.

Therefore, more marvels are not necessarily better.

Gao Xuan is not yet fully aware of the negative effects of the Golden Sun Mirror, but it seems to influence one's disposition. Just after refining the Golden Sun Mirror, he felt a surge of homicidal impulse.

He decided to use it temporarily. With his strong Spiritual Power, he wouldn't be controlled by the Golden Sun Mirror.

The key is the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, the most spiritual Six-winged Celestial Cicada, according to the marvel's energy level rules, can completely suppress the Silver-level Golden Sun Mirror.

After merging with the Undying Golden Cicada, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada can even partially suppress the negative effects of the Celestial Dragon Eye and Godslaying Sword. In terms of spiritual nature.

For example, the spiritual influence of the Celestial Dragon Eye on him would be suppressed by the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

However, this suppression is not a complete restraint. Not all negative effects are nullified.

The conflicts between the rules of the marvels are complex and subtle.

Not to mention Gao Xuan, even Divines might not be able to understand the rules between the marvels.

The Golden Light Asura died silently. His lifestyle isolated him from data. He had no relatives or ties.

Even after several months, no one might discover his disappearance.

Even if someone did find out about his disappearance, it wouldn't be linked to Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan spent two days at home studying the Golden Sun Mirror, and on the third day, Xiao Ting arrived.

Xiao Ting brought only two attendants, not even Xiao Jun.

They picked up Gao Xuan and headed to the terminal at Gold Origin. They boarded a military ship directly from the spaceport and set off for Purple Dragon Star.

The Twelve Star Domain is assigned according to location, with Purple Dragon Star located at the very edge of the Twelve Star Domain.

Beyond Purple Dragon Star lies outside the Milky Way Galaxy. Of course, with current space technology, it's extremely difficult to explore other star systems.

Distances of millions or tens of millions of light-years are too far. Unless a suitable space node can be found for a direct jump.

The influence of the Human Alliance is entirely confined to the Milky Way Galaxy.

The vast expanse of the Milky Way, despite thousands of years of expeditions, has seen less than one-thousandth occupied by humans.

In recent years, the upper echelons of the Alliance have lost their adventuring spirit, turning their attention inward.

The military, unable to act externally, began to strengthen internal management, clearing out various alien races.

The situation on Purple Dragon Star is similar. In the eyes of the Twelve Star Domain's elites, the semi-primitive state of Purple Dragon Star is unstable and requires a re-establishment of order.

Xiao Ting was eager to participate in the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly to extend her influence into Purple Dragon Star, which is essentially an extension of military will.

Of course, Xiao Ting's main aim was to prove herself.

If she could win the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly and take control of the Blood Dragon Cave, firstly, she would prove her strength. Secondly, she would gain enormous benefits. Thirdly, she could establish a foothold on Purple Dragon Star and make connections with various forces.

Because of the magnitude of her ambitions, Xiao Ting was bold enough to directly offer five thousand points.

Gao Xuan's Quick Sword was just too suitable for the Blood Dragon Sword Assembly.

As for Gao Xuan's subsequent actions, they greatly broadened Xiao Ting's horizons.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Xuan seemed to have planned it all along, securing the unknown Golden Cicada so swiftly and effectively.

Once the ship entered space, Xiao Ting finally had time to talk to Gao Xuan alone.

The simple yet beautiful transparent restaurant offered a direct view of the outer space.

Sitting here drinking tea, with the endless cosmos all around, naturally makes one feel their insignificance and the loneliness of life, breeding a certain goodwill towards fellow humans.

This is also known as the camaraderie law of space ships.

Xiao Ting chose to talk here to close the distance with Gao Xuan and elicit more conversation.

"You seem even more handsome."

Xiao Ting earnestly scrutinized Gao Xuan; with her Silver Sword Hero level, her recognition precision at this distance could reach micrometer accuracy.

Even the length change of a micrometer, she could detect.

Xiao Ting had a deep impression of Gao Xuan, with various detailed data about him in her mind.

After a few days, she felt Gao Xuan had really changed, yet couldn't pinpoint how. Subjectively, she felt Gao Xuan was more handsome.

Changes in humans surely have traces to follow. Subtle adjustments in facial muscles, micro changes in the eyes, etc.…

Yet Xiao Ting couldn't see where Gao Xuan had changed, which seemed unreasonable.

Moreover, Gao Xuan's handsomeness was already at its peak. It defied verbal description, even exceeding the limits of human aesthetic imagination.

This degree of handsomeness could still be elevated...

Xiao Ting found it unimaginable! But the sensation was undeniably real.

Gao Xuan smiled, "Sister Ting, you're not falling for me, are you? Love always makes people blind."

He had integrated with the Undying Golden Cicada, advancing to Silver Level, transforming his life to that of the Golden Race. His entire lifeform had fundamentally changed.

Externally he appeared almost unchanged, but with extremely subtle adjustments, making his overall external form more perfect.

Especially with the genetic evolution, his attractiveness to females of the same species greatly enhanced.

It's known that female genes naturally imprint on them the instinct to collect the best genes.

This craving for excellent genes manifests in various forms.

Experts like Xiao Ting, although unable to directly see Gao Xuan's genes, could sense the subtle allure of high-tier genes.

She didn't believe Gao Xuan's words, instead admiring and even liking Gao Xuan's handsomeness.

Just like seeing something precious, a person would want to claim it. This has nothing to do with love, not even could be called emotion. Just a strong desire.

Xiao Ting didn't believe in love, nor in emotion. But she had to admit, Gao Xuan's smile was more charming. Such genes were worth deeper interaction.

She thought for a moment and said, "My bedroom has a particularly beautiful bed, would you like to see it?"

Gao Xuan laughed, grabbing Xiao Ting's hand: "I can't wait to try your bed…"
