Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 212 The Divine Power of the Divine Weapon Spell
Underground Temple.

This underground building has three floors. The first floor is where the guards and law enforcement teams live.

The second floor housed the prison, interrogation rooms, and archives, used to detain and interrogate heretics who blasphemed God, and to store important confidential documents within the church.

The Scorpion Cult has tens of millions of followers on Dongwei Island, and the information on these followers alone is enormous. More importantly, there are the files on the clergy who proselytize.

From attendants to priests, there are tens of thousands of clergy members; these are the core members of the Scorpion Cult. Many high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants among them secretly joined the cult.

Their personal information is highly confidential. If it were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dongye, who runs Meixinzhai, doesn't believe in computers. She thinks that important information stored on computers is easily leaked, and even if the internet is disconnected, it's still a problem.

Important archives are all preserved in paper form, so the archives contain a large number of documents.

The third and final level is the temple, an empty hall containing only a three-meter-tall statue of the Scorpion King.

Because blood sacrifice rituals were frequently held in the temple, the cement floor of the main hall was covered with large patches of black stains that could not be cleaned no matter what.

Two guards from the alien law enforcement team stood at the entrance of the main hall.

Although the main hall contains only statues of deities, they are not to be desecrated. Entry to the main hall is permitted only for sacrifices or important ceremonies.

Both tortoise-shell warriors were warriors, and due to their innate abilities, they both had exceptionally keen hearing.

On the empty third floor, even a mouse dozens of meters away could not escape their ears.

Unbeknownst to them, the Yin God of High Martial Arts was currently observing them closely.

The Tortoise Shell Alien race looks very similar to humans, except that they have small eyes, only one ear canal, no outer ear, no hair, and dark green skin.

Its ugly appearance makes it highly recognizable.

They had complete tortoise shells growing on their chests and backs, completely covering their vital areas. They were all armed with modern firearms, had long knives at their waists, and wore black combat uniforms, giving them an elite appearance.

Gao Wu killed two tortoise-shell aliens at the villa, but at that time he had a splitting headache and was not in the mood to examine the corpses.

He even forgot to take the divine weapon that Haruno Hikaru possessed. It was at least a level five divine weapon, and it was also blessed with the power of a demon god. Even if he didn't use it, he could sell it to the research institute.

Gao Wu used his Yin Spirit to examine the statues deep within the temple. A strange field permeated the area, making even his Yin Spirit feel oppressed.

It is somewhat like the source force field generated by a martial arts master with divine will, only more profound and mysterious, and difficult to fathom.

The demon god was unpredictable, and Gao Wu dared not look at him for long. He immediately withdrew his Yin spirit.

Before taking action, one must assess the situation carefully. If Higashino is really hiding inside, and he brazenly charges in, he would truly be courting death.

Having a Yin Spirit allows one to observe the environment at any time, essentially like having a full-map cheat in a game. This is a major reason why Gao Wu wants to upgrade the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Spell.

Another point is that the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra can help him resist mental attacks from martial arts experts. He suffered a great loss this time, which taught him a lesson.

A lack of martial arts aptitude can be gradually improved through training, but insufficient mental strength might result in being killed in the very first encounter...

There were two guards on duty in the monitoring room on the first floor. They were leaning lazily in their chairs, one dozing off with his eyes half-closed, and the other staring blankly with his eyes wide open.

They all received orders that the enemy had invaded and that they should be on high alert and keep a close watch.

However, a long-standing habit of laziness cannot be changed overnight. The fact that the two of them didn't sleep together already shows a great deal of dedication.

Gao Wu, riding his Yin Spirit on the Heavenly Fate Sword, entered silently and saw the state of the monitoring room. He wasn't surprised; this was to be expected.

It's really strange that the followers of the Demonic Cult are working so diligently. They join the Demonic Cult for personal gain, and no matter how harsh the cult is on outsiders, they can't treat their own members the same way.

An organization that is too harsh is too contrary to human nature. Even a demon god couldn't do it! Such an organization cannot last long.

The Destiny Sword was drawn silently, its blade flashing and piercing the back of the heads of the two guards in an instant, ending their lives.

After dealing with the guards, Gao Wu, who had been waiting outside, leisurely entered the underground temple.

After retrieving the Yin God and the Heavenly Fate Sword, Gao Wu entered the alien law enforcement team's dormitory. The dormitories were usually shared by two people.

Gao Wu would push open the door and enter, and the alien races inside would often be killed by his sword before they could even react. They wouldn't even know they were dead...

Of course, there were also highly skilled individuals among them. One of the advanced warriors suddenly opened his eyes, but could only see a flash of lightning.

Reaching the pinnacle of the White Tiger Divine Weapon Mantra directly boosts agility by 20 points. The sheer speed from physical bursts alone surpasses that of a martial arts master.

Killing these foreign warriors was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. The two sides were simply not on the same level.

Jia Shichiro, who lived in the innermost part, sensed something was wrong; there was a bloody smell in the air.

As a level 5 expert, Jia Qilang has been in the secret realm for ten years, and he has even become accustomed to the comfortable life there.

Although his hometown was rich in primal energy, it was far too crude and rudimentary. Every aspect of his life—clothing, food, shelter, and transportation—was vastly different from that of the secret realm.

In the parlance of the local alliance, it's considered excessively primitive and barbaric. Although Jia Shichiro rarely leaves the underground temple, he always manages to enjoy the company of young, beautiful women and slay those heretics. He can satisfy both his violence and lust.

Not to mention the various delicious foods and wines that he found so intoxicating.

Ten years of comfortable life had also made him lose his wildness and his vigilance.

The stench of blood jolted Jia Qilang awake. He immediately remembered the news that had come the night before: a powerful enemy had invaded and killed Lin Lijun.

He loathed the tall, strong fat man and felt no pity for Lin Lijun's death. If he could, he would even like to taste the man himself.

Unfortunately, it's said that the fat man was blown to bits.

Jia Shichiro didn't care; his duty was to guard the temple and hunt down heretics. As for matters of security, those were not his concern.

Unexpectedly, the other party was incredibly audacious, daring to launch a sneak attack on the temple!

Jia Qilang's dark green face revealed a cruel smile. This was a temple, where the power of the God Lord could be amplified several times over. This guy was courting death!

Jia Qilang drew his long sword, opened the door, and stepped out of the bedroom. He saw a tall, slender, unfamiliar figure in the corridor.

He was about to open his mouth to ask a question when he saw that the other party was surrounded by red light and had already put on a set of deep red armor.

The next moment, a blindingly sharp sword light shot towards him. Jia Qilang was terrified; this person was too fast! He immediately activated the Burning God Technique, unleashing the decaying holy light.

Of the seven divine powers of the Scorpion King, Jia Shichiro switched to cultivating the Eye of Decay after entering the secret realm. This was because he sensed that his body and mind were gradually decaying, thus aligning with the laws of the Decaying God Power.

The dim, decaying holy light spread out in a ring-like pattern, covering an area of ​​about a hundred meters in radius. This decaying holy light also merged with the divine power that permeated the temple, further amplifying its power.

As Gao Wu rode his sword straight ahead, he immediately sensed that there seemed to be some kind of invisible, viscous water rippling in the air, causing him to slow down.

The invisible water also seeped into his body and mind. This seepage was not painful; on the contrary, it was like a kind of enjoyment, a tingling and very comfortable sensation.

Having witnessed the power of divine arts, Gao Wu, despite his discomfort, unleashed the Gale and Thunder Transformation. Invisible lightning struck his opponent directly through his gaze, and the agility enhanced by the Gale Transformation further boosted his speed.

If we limit ourselves to the same level, it is indeed true that speed is the only way to win.

The agility of 24 points allowed Gao Wu to easily break free from the invisible force field, and his speed increased to the extreme.

Jia Qilang was even more astonished. Who was this? Could they possibly resist the corrosive holy light?!
He didn't have time to think too much, or even to react in any other way, and immediately unleashed his long sword to slash at the opponent's neck.

The opponent was too fast, too fast to defend himself. He could only trade his life for his own and force the opponent to retreat.

Gao Wu's thrusting Heavenly Fate Sword abruptly bent, its blade unleashing a high-frequency vibration of Dragon's Roar and Sword Howl. His 24 points of agility amplified the vibration frequency of this Dragon's Roar sword strike sevenfold.

As the swords clashed, Jia Qilang's arm went numb from the high-frequency vibrations of the sword energy, and his sword was also deflected out of control.

The Heavenly Mandate Sword broke and stabbed again, piercing Jia Qilang's chest with a single blow.

Jia Qilang's beady eyes were filled with disbelief. Although he did not have a bio-engineered battle armor, he used source power to temper his tortoise shell day and night, making its protective ability several times stronger than that of battle armor of the same level.

What kind of sword was that? How could it be so sharp and fierce? His tortoise shell, which he had painstakingly tempered for decades, was easily pierced like thin paper.

Before Jia Qilang could figure it out, the Heavenly Fate Sword trembled violently, and the burst of kinetic energy and high-frequency sword energy vibration destroyed all of Jia Qilang's organs.

Gao Wu drew his sword and thrust again, piercing Jia Qilang's head and ending his life.

Having suffered a great loss once, Gao Wu would never give his opponent another chance.

The fact that the Heavenly Destiny Sword could easily kill Jia Qilang was due to the White Tiger Divine Weapon Incantation enhancing its sharpness. Even the thickest tortoise shell was no match for it!
Having dealt with the level-five alien, only a few low-level guards remained in the underground temple. The high-level martial arts Yin God used his sword to search three levels, slaying all the remaining guards.

There are still nearly a hundred people in the prison, all of whom were believers from the square last night. Gao Wu showed no sympathy for these believers.

He won't kill these people, but he won't let them go either.

A total of thirty-seven people accumulated twenty million merits. This shows that these people were all extremely wicked…

Gao Wu was overjoyed to see that he had accumulated enough merit. All he needed to do next was upgrade the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra to solve all the problems.

Even if Higashino Makoto comes back, there's nothing to be afraid of!

However, upgrading it like this would be too wasteful. Upgrading the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra will trigger the tempering of the inner and outer parts by the Divine Light of the Departing Fire, which is a good opportunity to improve the sword.

The statue in the square happens to have a hidden eye. Although its purpose is unknown, it is a powerful and evil object!

You can bring them over and try refining them together!
The Heavenly Sword is controlled by the Yin Spirit, so any negative effects will be immediately eliminated. Refining the Hidden Eye at most has no practical function; it's just a waste of time and won't negatively impact the sword.

Before Kitano An and the others could react, it was the perfect time to make our move!

Despite the excruciating pain in his head, Gao Wu rushed straight to the square...

(Please vote for me! I'm not asking you to, I'm really begging you not to vote. I'm bowing and pleading.)
