Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 312 A strong man breaks his wrist
The tiny Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal unleashed a massive, mountain-sized golden seal that completely enveloped and sealed the ice dragon.

The Jade Seal of Destiny did not directly harm the dragon's soul or body; it merely separated the dragon's soul and body by cutting through different levels of space with golden light.

The ice dragon, awakened by the unusual movement of the Crimson Sky Sword, had not yet fully recovered from its slumber. The space created by the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal isolated the inside from the outside, also preventing the dragon soul from sensing the Crimson Sky Sword's anomaly.

It was only because the Jade Seal of Destiny was so exquisite, and Qin Liuhe possessed such a powerful spiritual spirit, that he was able to control the Jade Seal of Destiny with such precision.

Of course, this state cannot last long.

Ice dragons are, after all, god-level beings, possessing an extraordinary and keen intuition for danger.

Qin Liuhe estimated that he could only trap the ice dragon for a maximum of ten seconds. A large part of this was because the ice dragon had been asleep for many years and had an unusually large body. Its thinking pattern was different from that of small life forms like humans.

His entire focus was on the Jade Seal of Destiny and the Ice Dragon. He could only ascertain Gao Wu's condition through mental perception, leaving him no energy to observe Yan Qiushui's situation.

If his true form were here, things would be much simpler. This body is ultimately too fragile; even a spirit god can only unleash half of his power.

All hope rests on Gao Wu!

Gao Wu didn't have Lao Qin's skills; he was now focusing all his mental energy on resonating with the Crimson Sky Sword.

At this moment, the Yin spirit seemed to merge with the Crimson Sky Sword. In a daze, Gao Wu seemed to feel himself become a blazing flame, shining brightly in the vast void.

Until one day, he was captured by some powerful force and forcibly plunged into the depths of something extremely cold, where he was trapped ever since...

Through a mysterious resonance, Gao Wu saw the memories of the crimson light. This crimson light was not a real sword, but more like some kind of powerful alien spirit.

It is unknown who used it as a weapon to penetrate the soul of the ice dragon, but it was also frozen by the ice dragon's almost eternal icy divine domain.

During this stalemate, the spirituality of the Crimson Light was also completely worn away by the Frost God Domain, leaving behind only some fragments of memory.

Gao Wu immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and that he could actually use the Spirit Control Seal of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra to control it.

As he focused his mind, he activated the four divine incantations of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Qilin, and Black Tortoise.

The five divine images of the spirits emerged from the depths of Gao Wu's brow acupoint, with the three divine incantations of the Azure Dragon, Qilin, and Black Tortoise blessing the Yin spirit.

This was something Gao Wu had prepared long ago, and by simultaneously activating the Five Divine Incantations, he could at least make his Yin Spirit even stronger.

In particular, the Qilin Divine Mantra, with its twelve layers of divine blessings, raised his innate talent to 35 points.

In an instant, his learning, analysis, understanding, and calculation abilities increased sevenfold.

The blessing of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra filled the Yin Spirit with endless vitality, while the blessing of the Black Tortoise Divine Qi Mantra made the Yin Spirit incredibly resilient.

Gao Wu's mind was unusually clear at this moment, and he immediately realized that using the Spirit Control Seal to control the Crimson Sky Sword was unreliable.

Although the spirit of the Crimson Sky Sword has been shattered, its essence remains exceptionally powerful. The Spirit Control Seal may not be able to control the Crimson Sky Sword, and moreover, the Spirit Control Seal will interfere with the Yin God's activation of the Divine Light of Departing Fire.

Now there is only one path to follow: use the Yin Spirit to refine the Crimson Sky Sword through the Divine Light of the Departing Fire, without any hesitation.

As long as the Yin God and the Crimson Sky Sword unite, they can destroy the Ice Dragon's soul!

Gao Wu could sense the weakness of the dragon soul through the Crimson Sky Sword. Although the Frost God Domain was powerful, it was also constantly consuming the ice dragon's essence.

The Dragon Soul and the Crimson Sky Sword are mutually weakening each other. Without external interference, the Ice Dragon will eventually be able to subdue the Crimson Sky Sword.

But now, the situation is different.

Gao Wu could sense the suppression of the Dragon Soul by the Jade Seal of Destiny, and he knew that time was extremely precious.

Under the blessing of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, Gao Wu had a thousand ideas popping into his mind, and he chose the most reliable and safest one.

It involves transforming the Yin spirit into the Divine Dragon Path, which corresponds to water and fire, and also aligns with the transformations of the Crimson Sky Sword.

At this point, Gao Wu was finally able to combine martial arts and divine spells through his extraordinary innate talent.

The Yin spirit twisted and transformed into a crimson dragon, its slender body coiling around the Crimson Sky Sword. The surging, blazing divine light of the Crimson Sky Sword and the crimson dragon merged into one.

In a daze, Gao Wu once again sensed the fragments of memory emanating from the Crimson Sky Sword, and felt the last remaining trace of its spirituality.

Without hesitation, Gao Wu rode his Yin Spirit straight forward, transforming himself into the state most suitable for the Crimson Sky Sword through the Divine Dragon Path, and using the Divine Light of the Departing Fire to refine the last spiritual essence of the Crimson Sky Sword.

Without the spiritual guidance of the Crimson Sky Sword, it became an ownerless object.

The Yin spirit deeply merged into the Crimson Sky Sword, and then, through the fusion of the Divine Light of the Departing Fire, the two were deeply integrated on various levels of spirituality, source power, and matter.

The ability to achieve this was not only due to Gao Wu's transformation of the Yin Spirit into a divine dragon state, but more importantly, it was because the Yin Spirit was in a state of resonance with the mysteries of heaven and earth, allowing it to naturally merge with the Crimson Sky Sword.

The process of forging the Crimson Sky Sword was extremely fast; all the complex changes actually took less than five seconds.

Gao Wu had calculated this precisely; he knew he had five seconds left.

The newly refined Crimson Sky Sword still needs a little time to familiarize itself with it, master its true characteristics, and maximize its power.

The more urgent the moment, the less you should rush...

Just as Gao Wu took control of the Crimson Sky Sword, Yan Qiushui, who had fallen from the sky, was about to hit the ground.

A faint layer of blue-white ice flames appeared on Yan Qiushui's body, making her look very beautiful.

After a few seconds of unconsciousness, Yan Qiushui regained consciousness. The extreme cold of the source energy change was like a low-temperature flame, substantially destroying her body and mind.

Despite using all her strength, Yan Qiushui couldn't dispel the icy flames that had seeped into her entire body, and she felt the fear of death. At this moment, she had no way to struggle... She knew very well how terrible it was to be covered in icy flames, and neither Gao Wu nor Song Mingyue could get rid of them.

If the two of them were to lend a helping hand, they would instead be tainted by the ice flames.

At this moment, only Qin Jiuyue could save her. Unfortunately, Qin Jiuyue was busy using the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal to suppress the ice dragon and didn't care about her life or death at all.

Just as Yan Qiushui was in despair, Song Mingyue, who was standing motionless below, suddenly reached out and caught Yan Qiushui's lower back as she fell rapidly.

Song Mingyue also sensed the danger posed by the ice flames. Instead of touching Yan Qiushui, she used the long sleeves of the Seven Laws Divine Robe to support Yan Qiushui.

Her Tai Chi Twin Snakes swirled, and the Xuanming Heavenly Snake transformed into the most Yin and gentle source of energy, thus layer by layer dissolving the gravitational impact on Yan Qiushui's body and also helping Yan Qiushui dispel the ice flames on her body.

With the continuous upgrades in martial arts, Song Mingyue is now a solid sixth-level martial arts master.

With a swift movement of her hands, she had safely unloaded Yan Qiushui. However, the Xuanming Heavenly Serpent transformation she activated failed to break the icy flames enveloping Yan Qiushui.

Instead, her Seven Laws Divine Robe's long sleeves were stained with fierce and icy blue flames. She tried to activate her source power, but the flames shone even brighter under the impact of the source power.

In an instant, Song Mingyue made a judgment, and with a wave of her hand, she removed the Seven Laws Divine Robe, which had transformed into a black trench coat.

Ice Flame is troublesome. Let's take off the Seven Laws Divine Robe and let Ice Flame burn it on its own. Even if the Seven Laws Divine Robe melts in the heat of Ice Flame, it won't matter much.

Song Mingyue turned her gaze to Yan Qiushui. Through the semi-transparent dark blue mask, she could see that Yan Qiushui's stunning face was also flashing with a faint icy blue flame, and even her bright black eyes were shining with an icy blue flame.

The icy flames carried the chilling aura of the ice dragon, clearly a special ability of the ice dragon.

Yan Qiushui was also looking at Song Mingyue. She wanted to ask Song Mingyue for help, but she knew that Song Mingyue was powerless to do so.

Her desire to live and her despair for reality made her eyes appear very fragile.

The icy flames had penetrated every part of her body, freezing her source energy. Since her spatial abilities were closely intertwined with martial arts, her suppressed source energy rendered her powerless to activate her spatial abilities to transfer the icy flames.

But she ultimately did not ask for help.

As a direct descendant of the Yan family of Zhongjing and a direct disciple of Qi Tian, ​​even in death, he should die with some dignity.

Yan Qiushui realized she was going to die, and felt a sense of relief.

She said to Song Mingyue, "Mingyue, please take care of Ningning for me."

Song Mingyue shook her head slightly, a strange black and white light flashing deep within her clear, cold eyes: "Don't rush, let me try!"

Yan Qiushui was somewhat surprised. Even at this point, Song Mingyue still hadn't given up on her?

She always felt that Song Mingyue was cold and ruthless, and that she never cared about anyone except Gao Wu.

During their journey across the icy plains these past few days, Yan Qiushui discovered that Song Mingyue wasn't as cold as she seemed. However, Song Mingyue was exceptionally calm and rational, and under these circumstances, Yan Qiushui would definitely abandon her, as that would be the optimal solution.

If it were her, no matter how much she wanted to save others, she would prioritize protecting herself.

She was helpless against the ice flames of a level ten ice dragon...

Song Mingyue didn't explain anything. She took the initiative to place her hand on Yan Qiushui's chest and cut off the source power change of the Seven Star Armor with a single palm strike. The dark blue armor instantly turned into a small breastplate.

Before Yan Qiushui could react, Song Mingyue used her five fingers to forcefully pull out the Seven Star Armor implanted in Yan Qiushui's chest.

Behind the breastplate were tendril-like connecting lines, covered in flesh and blood. Yan Qiushui's chest was also covered in blood.

The torn muscles and blood vessels were exposed, but they were now tinged with the blue light of icy flames, and the flesh and blood had taken on a faint icy blue hue.

It looks somewhat beautiful, yet also somewhat eerie.

Yan Qiushui looked at Song Mingyue with a mixture of surprise and hope, the other party's decisive action giving her a glimmer of hope.

On the other hand, she felt that this would implicate Song Mingyue, which was too dangerous. She couldn't quite bring herself to do it.

Conflicted feelings left Yan Qiushui at a loss for words.

Song Mingyue remained calm throughout. She threw away the Seven Star Armor, which was covered in ice flames, and then pressed her palm against the torn wound on Yan Qiushui's chest.

This palm strike, though gentle, spread throughout Yan Qiushui's entire body, causing the ice flames surrounding him to vibrate violently.

The Xuanming Heavenly Serpent unleashed its source power in reverse, like an invisible giant serpent suddenly inhaling, swallowing the icy blue flames emanating from Yan Qiushui's body.

A ball of icy blue flames gathered in Song Mingyue's left hand. The icy flames on Yan Qiushui's body were drawn away, and she was able to control her source power again and activate her spatial abilities.

There's a problem, though. The space-based ability to transfer the ice flames would cause them to be contaminated again. Essentially, Song Mingyue's efforts would have been in vain.

However, the icy flames could not be extinguished by any means. Just as Yan Qiushui was in a panic, she saw Song Mingyue draw her sword with her right hand and swiftly slash across, severing her left arm at the elbow.

The severed hand, stained with icy flames, burned on the ground, its beautiful, delicate hand instantly transforming into a ball of icy blue flames that dissipated into tiny ice shards...

Yan Qiushui looked at the disappearing hand with a sense of helplessness, then looked at Song Mingyue's severed arm. Although the muscles and blood vessels had contracted, the neat cut was still bleeding.

Song Mingyue calmly said with her mental power, "Trading one hand for your life is worth it."

Just as Yan Qiushui was about to say something, the enormous dragon head above suddenly emitted a crimson light that reached the heavens and the earth...
