Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 276 Divine Might First
After Gao Wu became Hai Wuji's apprentice, he often fought with Hai Wuji, but he never had a real understanding of the eighth level.

He knew that Hai Wuji's source power level had reached at least 500,000, which was a terrifying number, even exceeding the limits of instrument measurement.

For a Martial Saint, the source power value is just a measure; what is more important is the level of martial arts divine intent and the condensed sacred domain.

Qin Liuhe said that level eight is not a holy domain, but a source force field that is compatible with a certain source force attribute.

My understanding of martial arts is too low. I don't really understand the difference between the Source Field and the Sacred Domain. I only have a vague idea that the Source Field should be relatively open, while the Sacred Domain should be more stable and closed.

Until Black Hawk unleashed a massive cyan light blade, the source power emanating from the arc-shaped light blade was evenly distributed to form a huge arc of light, splitting the sky in two!
At this moment, the source force field materializes and takes shape, and Gao Wu can understand the source force field through the most intuitive way: vision.

The enormous cyan light blade emitted a powerful source force, not only filling Gao Wu's vision but also filling all his senses.

Hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even conscious judgment were all dominated by the enormous and incomparably violent cyan light blade.

Only through the Yin Spirit can Gao Wu calmly observe external changes and make judgments, analyses, and understandings through consciousness.

His powerful physical body and source power cultivation were completely suppressed by the source power field generated by the black eagle.

Keep in mind that he was still dozens of miles away from the two sides in the battle. Such a terrifying source force field made Gao Wu truly witness the power of an eighth-level force.

Before he came in, he had thought about finding an opportunity to show off, but after seeing Black Hawk's power, he realized he was overthinking it.

But isn't this black hawk a bit too strong?!

Gao Wu observed through his Yin Spirit that Qin Jiuyue's source energy reaction was less than one percent of Black Hawk's...

From the perspective of source power, Black Hawk's source power reaction was as bright as the moon, while Qin Jiuyue's was like a firefly; the difference between the two was enormous.

The only advantage was that Qin Jiuyue's figure appeared very small, and the azure light blade that cleaved the sky was very powerful, so only a small part of the source power could fall on Qin Jiuyue.

Gao Wu guessed that this might be a strategy deliberately adopted by Qin Jiuyue to conceal his source energy aura and avoid a direct confrontation with Black Hawk.

Level eight is too high; Gao Wu simply can't understand it. However, Qin Jiuyue can be considered the number one Martial Saint in the alliance; he shouldn't be inferior to a level eight beast.

As expected, Qin Jiuyue continuously withdrew his source power within the cyan light blade. Gao Wu even lost all sense of Qin Jiuyue, and could only locate him by locking onto Qin Jiuyue's life force through his Yin Spirit.

The level eight beast only lacked knowledge inheritance, not intelligence. As it unleashed its cyan light blade, it had already locked onto Qin Jiuyue with its mental power.

Gao Wu was greatly impressed by this. Concealing one's source energy aura seemed simple, but isolating oneself from the mental perception of an eighth-level alien beast was extremely difficult.

Black Hawk immediately noticed something was wrong. It let out another shriek and flapped its wings to unleash a series of cyan light blades.

Four arc-shaped cyan light blades converged and spun rapidly, the rotating blades seemingly tearing the sky apart.

From Gao Wu's perspective, the four arc-shaped cyan light blades looked like rotating fans...

It looks like fun, but in reality, the cyan light blade is rotating and slicing everything within its range, including the invisible source energy, which is also being boiled and rotated by the cyan light blade.

A dense, invisible sea of ​​source energy swirled into a massive vortex, drawing everything, both tangible and intangible, towards the center of the cyan light blade.

Even from dozens of miles away, Gao Wu felt a powerful tearing force, and he hurriedly steered his mechanical warhorse backward to avoid it.

The source energy unleashed by Black Hawk was simple yet violent, covering an area spanning hundreds of miles.

Qin Jiuyue was at the center of the changing source energy field. No matter how he concealed his source energy aura, he was inevitably swept up by the violent source energy field, which broke his concealed source energy aura.

Black Hawk immediately detected Qin Jiuyue's figure, and four rapidly rotating, arc-shaped cyan light blades contracted inward from Qin Jiuyue as the center.

The massive source energy field appeared static, but in reality, the source energy inside spun hundreds of times in an instant, putting immense pressure on Qin Jiuyue.

Even Gao Wu, who had retreated several thousand meters, sensed the dire situation through his Yin Spirit. He was starting to worry; his senior master, so imposing and hailed as the best in the alliance, couldn't possibly have been defeated so easily, could he?
There are two level-eight exotic beasts in Taiye Mountain. If Qin Jiuyue can't even handle one of them, things will get complicated...

At the critical moment, Gao Wu saw a black dragon rise into the sky. The black dragon was hundreds of meters long and its body coiled and danced in the air, blocking the four huge, rapidly spinning cyan light blades.

The black dragon slowly opened one of its tightly closed eyes, and its golden dragon eye released endless divine light, illuminating the world in a blinding white.

Both the massive source force field composed of cyan light blades and the giant black eagle were swallowed up by the endless, blazing white divine light.

In an instant, the heavens and earth were filled with endless, blazing white divine light. The world seemed to have transformed into a gigantic furnace, ready to melt all things and all living beings into charcoal...

The Yin Spirit that Gao Wu summoned could only see a blinding white light; it even felt intense burning pain, and wisps of smoke evaporated from its body...

"Candle Dragon Fist!" Gao Wu had learned Dragon Image Fist and immediately recognized that the black dragon divine image was the Candle Dragon Divine Image, and the blazing white divine light it released was actually transformed from the fist intent.

The Candle Dragon governs Yin and Yang, and Qin Jiuyue's Candle Dragon Fist pushes the changes of Yang to their extreme.

Gao Wu also had some understanding of the Candle Dragon Fist and had learned the Nine Dragons Limitless Way, so he felt that he had achieved a certain level of mastery in the Candle Dragon Fist.

Seeing Qin Jiuyue's Candle Dragon Fist, he realized how low his level was and how superficial his understanding of the Candle Dragon Fist was.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. Qin Jiuyue was fighting with all his might, fully displaying the essence of the Candle Dragon Fist. This was a perfect opportunity for him to learn and comprehend it. It wasn't that Qin Jiuyue was holding back when teaching him the fist technique, but rather that the transmission of martial arts essence had to take into account his capacity to withstand it. Although the Dragon Image Fist was very complete, its strength was far inferior.

Upon realizing this, Gao Wu immediately activated the Tenfold Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, temporarily raising his root attribute to thirty points.

This state is equivalent to temporarily increasing martial arts talent sevenfold, making it very suitable for comprehending complex and profound martial arts techniques.

Since awakening the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, Gao Wu has been casting the mantra on himself almost every day to temporarily enhance his talent and understanding of martial arts.

I can only perform the blessing once or twice a day; any more than that and it would be too much for many people. Even so, it has been a great help to him.

He hadn't actually encountered any major difficulties in his cultivation; it was just that his cultivation period was too short, and both his source energy and martial arts needed time to hone.

Unfortunately, the divine spell provided an explosive boost, which only made his progress in martial arts cultivation seem increasingly slow.

In fact, he has made very rapid progress. Although he has only condensed sixteen acupoints, his source power level has reached the sixth level, and his martial arts divine intent is close to that of a martial arts master, but it is not yet fully mature.

With the blessing of the Qilin Divine Mantra, Gao Wu, as an observer, can also observe the Zhulong Divine Image through the Yin Spirit, and thus see the details of the operation of various source forces and the subtle changes of martial arts divine intent.

This direct demonstration is extremely important for advanced martial arts practitioners cultivating the Candle Dragon Fist. By comparing it with the Candle Dragon Path in the Nine Dragons Limitless Path, one can gain a deeper understanding.

In fact, the moment the giant candle dragon rose into the sky, the situation immediately changed.

Black Hawk also realized something was wrong. It screamed frantically, flapped its wings to generate its source power, and transformed into a huge black shadow that struck Qin Jiuyue directly.

Even with the power of the Yin spirit, one could not clearly see the black eagle's form; all one could see was a dark shadow stretching across the sky...

"That speed must be at least three thousand meters per second, right?" Gao Wu was shocked. If he encountered such a high speed, even with the agility boost from the Divine Weapon Spell, he wouldn't have time to dodge. It was too fast!

Qin Jiuyue clearly had no intention of dodging. The Thunder Spear in his hand transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck the head of the black eagle that was shooting towards him.

With a deafening roar, the burst of lightning blasted the black eagle's head apart, and then penetrated deep into its abdomen, piercing through its entire massive body.

The level-eight beast Black Eagle was killed on the spot. Its high-speed flight suddenly veered off course, slicing through the sky and crashing into a mountain peak.

Another deafening roar followed, and the earth shook violently, sending up countless clouds of dust and debris...

Gao Wu witnessed firsthand how an eighth-level alien beast was killed with a single shot, and he was utterly impressed by Qin Jiuyue's martial arts skills.

Even with the power of the level nine Thunder Spear, Qin Jiuyue's attack was precise and efficient, making it impossible for the level eight Black Eagle to dodge.

The battle between the two sides actually lasted less than a minute, and an eighth-level alien beast had already been killed.

"That giant red-scaled serpent ran away, I'm going to chase it."

Gao Wu received a telepathic message from Qin Jiuyue: "Go to Jade Pool and wait for me. There are two level-eight beasts entrenched there, so there won't be any high-level beasts on or around Mount Taiye."

Without waiting for Gao Wu's response, Qin Jiuyue transformed into a streak of light and vanished in an instant.

Even with Gao Wu's eyesight, he could only see a tiny black dot. Gao Wu sighed inwardly; he thought he was quite good, and that his cultivation level was nothing compared to that of an eighth-level cultivator.

Even for a level seven fighter, he could only rely on the divine incantation to enhance his physical body and fight in close combat, but his chances of victory were extremely slim.

Gao Wu rode his mechanical warhorse to the top of the Jade Pool. The water in the Jade Pool was like molten jade liquid, somewhat similar to syrup, but clearer and more transparent.

He didn't know how to use it either; he spun it around once and then landed at the edge of the jade pool.

Then, a deafening roar came from afar, and the solidified jade pool rippled violently.

Following the sound, Gao Wu saw layers of crimson flames rising into the sky, and within the flames, he could vaguely see the figure of a black dragon flying...

Another loud bang was heard, and Taiye Mountain trembled in fright, shaking off a lot of sand and gravel.

Gao Wu observed with his Yin spirit and saw a blazing, sun-like life force rapidly dimming... In the blink of an eye, that life force completely dissipated.

With a flash, Qin Jiuyue, dressed in black armor with gold patterns, returned.

"Master Uncle's divine might is invincible!" Gao Wu hurriedly dismounted and began to flatter Qin Jiuyue with utmost sincerity.

Qin Jiuyue's face armor slowly parted, revealing his majestic and cold face. However, his phoenix eyes were somewhat dim, clearly indicating that killing two level-eight beasts in succession had taken a tremendous toll.

Qin Jiuyue ignored Gao Wu's flattery. He glanced at the jade pool and said, "The jade ointment is deep inside. You can take it directly when you go down later."

Gao Wu asked with concern, "Does Uncle-Master not need to take it?"

Qin Jiuyue didn't answer the question. He looked deeply at Gao Wu and suddenly asked, "If sacrificing your life could save everyone in the alliance, would you be willing?"

"Uh..." Gao Wu hesitated, this was a difficult question to answer!
