Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 314 Success Doesn't Have to Be Mine
In the critical moment, Gao Wu calmed down completely.

The effects of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra were still present, and his mind was incredibly clear. He knew that the key now was how to save himself and how to save Xiao Song, not to exchange sweet nothings!

His 35 points in constitution allow him to temporarily withstand the onslaught of extreme cold and flames. However, these flames will freeze and burn his source energy, fundamentally destroying his life force.

With Song Mingyue forcibly extracting the extreme cold flames from his body, a gap was opened.

The Yin spirit can wield the Crimson Sky Sword, but at this moment, it must not use the Crimson Sky Sword.

The Crimson Sky Sword does indeed counter the extreme cold flames, but the problem lies in the battlefield: his body and spirit.

The clash between the Fierce Crimson Sky Sword and the Destructive Extreme Cold Flame would instantly blast him into dust, ensuring his certain death.

The only chance of survival is to extract the extreme cold flames, giving him and Xiao Song a chance to catch their breath.

Especially Xiao Song, without the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse and his abnormal physique, even with his time-manipulation ability, he couldn't last more than three seconds.

Even the Five Divine Incantations couldn't suppress the Extreme Cold Flame, so the only solution was to try something at the martial arts level.

Gao Wu thought of the Divine Dragon Path, which allows one to control water and fire.

He obtained an eighth-level Fish-Dragon Golden Elixir in Yingzhou, one of which possessed the ability to control ice-type source power. He also learned some methods for controlling ice-type source power from it.

By upgrading the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, he integrated the Seven Dragons Path and also elevated the Nine Dragons Limitless Path to a state of perfection.

A crucial point is to incorporate the transformations of water and fire into the Divine Dragon Path, using the Divine Dragon Path to reverse the transformations and control the extreme cold and flames. With the assistance of Little Song's Tai Chi twin snakes, this is also feasible!
"Listen to me, we can all survive!"

Gao Wu used mental resonance to say to Song Mingyue, "I will activate the Divine Dragon Form to reverse the changes. You use the Tai Chi Twin Snakes to assist in extracting the Extreme Cold Flame from our bodies. Then I will throw the Divine Dragon Form out!"

Song Mingyue knew this method was extremely dangerous, but she didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "Okay."

There's no time for anything else now; the important thing is to come up with a solution and execute it decisively. If you don't do it, you'll surely die; if you do it, there's still a glimmer of hope. There's no need to overthink it.

A black dragon flew out from Gao Wu's spiritual world, and Song Mingyue simultaneously activated the Tai Chi Twin Snakes through spiritual resonance.

Although the extreme cold and flames were domineering, they could not freeze the spiritual resonance between the two sides. At this moment, spiritual resonance played its most important role.

The black dragon and the black and white snakes danced together. As the black and white snakes reversed their direction, the black dragon also reversed its direction and controlled the changes in the ice.

The two spirits merged into one at a deeper level, and the Tai Chi Twin Snakes' control over small-scale source energy changes also covered high-level martial arts.

As the Tai Chi Twin Snakes forcibly reversed their course, the extreme cold flames that had deeply penetrated Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's spirit and body were also forced to reverse their operation.

The extremely cold icy flames that had been continuously penetrating and penetrating the body and spirit began to retreat and retract outwards.

The black dragon took advantage of the receding extreme cold flames to continuously absorb them.

Under Gao Wu's guidance, the black dragon transformed into a giant divine form more than ten meters long and emerged.

As the black dragon absorbed more and more of the extreme cold flames, most of the dragon turned ice blue, and even its head was shining with cold flames.

Yan Qiushui could see clearly that as the icy light on the Black Dragon God's image grew stronger, eighty percent of the icy flames on Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's bodies were drawn away.

In particular, the flames on Song Mingyue's body were completely drained. Gao Wu only had a wisp of icy flame remaining between his brows.

She didn't know how Gao Wu did it. She admired Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's tacit understanding and even more their courage to share life and death.

Just now, Song Mingyue saved Gao Wu without hesitation; now, Gao Wu is forcibly pulling all the ice flames back.

Back and forth, both sides risked their lives to carve out a way to survive!
Now, if they can deal with the Black Dragon God, they can escape 90% of the Ice Flame. Gao Wu and Song Mingyue can then survive.

At this moment, Yan Qiushui was even more nervous than the two people involved. She knew how terrifying the Ice Flame was; it could even connect to her through spatial abilities.

Although the Martial God Form is transformed from Martial God Intent and Source Power, its connection with the martial artist is exceptionally close.

Now, Gao Wu's only chance of escaping danger is to ride the Black Dragon Divine Form far away and keep the Ice Flame away from his physical form and spirit.

But the Ice Flame is so domineering that it froze the Black Dragon Divine Form into an ice sculpture. How can a high-level martial artist still control the Divine Form?

Gao Wu was indeed exerting all his strength to activate the Black Dragon Divine Form; his martial arts cultivation had long since reached the realm of the Divine Form's outer realm.

Under normal circumstances, he can unleash his Martial Arts Divine Form to a distance of over a thousand meters.

Now that his source energy and spiritual power have been frozen by the extreme cold flames, he has reached his limit.

Song Mingyue repeatedly activated the Tai Chi Twin Snakes' supernatural power, reaching its limit.

The two could only desperately hold off the Black Dragon God, but this stalemate was extremely disadvantageous for them.

The extreme cold of the ice flames will continuously absorb source energy and expand naturally. Once a connection is established with the ice flames, whether it be the mind, source energy, or body, it will be permeated and invaded by the ice flames, eventually burning to ashes within them...

Although Gao Wu possessed the special ability of immortality, his Yin spirit returned to the spiritual world, and the Azure Dragon deep between his eyebrows was tainted with ice flames.

Although the Ice Dragon was easily killed by the Crimson Sky Sword, it was a god-level life form. The extreme cold flames generated by its self-destruction of its dragon soul were terrifying, and the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse's immortality alone might not be able to withstand them.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue struggled together for five seconds before the black dragon image above them, frozen into a ball, began to slowly fall.

The more than ten-meter-long black dragon statue had been dyed ice-blue by the ice flames, and its entire body was shining with an eerie ice-blue light.

Gao Wu realized that they would both die if things continued like this, so he gritted his teeth and used his left hand to fling Song Mingyue away with his brute strength.

Song Mingyue, who was fully exerting her strength to unleash the Tai Chi Twin Serpents through spiritual resonance, was utterly powerless against Gao Wu's sudden throw. Her body tumbled and flew dozens of meters away, crashing onto the ice. Ignoring the excruciating pain, she quickly got up and saw the enormous black dragon slowly sinking towards Gao Wu.

The dual connection between source power and spirit leaves Gao Wu with nowhere to hide.

Gao Wu gave Song Mingyue a deep look, then clenched his fists, preparing to meet his Black Dragon Divine Form.

Using the Crimson Sky Sword is too dangerous; blasting his own divine form with his fists would give him a chance to survive.

Song Mingyue knew what Gao Wu was going to do just by looking at him. She was fearless when fighting alongside Gao Wu, but she was extremely nervous watching him face the extreme cold flames alone.

She nodded vigorously to Gao Wu. Her meaning was simple: if they succeeded, they would live together; if they failed, they would die together. Go for it!
Having gained Song Mingyue's approval, Gao Wu became even calmer, and his formidable physique, honed through tempering, finally came in handy.

Although this is a near-death experience, there is nothing to fear.

Gao Wu's eyes shone brightly, his tall body was bulging with muscles, like a drawn bow, and even the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon Armor on his body could not conceal the powerful force that was about to be unleashed.

Yan Qiushui was not far away, and she could clearly sense Gao Wu's high spirits and his fierce courage in facing death.

But she knew that Gao Wu had almost no chance of winning.

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Song Mingyue, who had been thrown far away. Song Mingyue's lips were tightly pursed, and her clear eyes rarely revealed tension and unease, even a hint of weakness and helplessness in the face of cruel fate...

Yan Qiushui looked up again, and Qin Jiuyue was still enveloped in icy blue flames, with no change in his aura.

An indescribable sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart. Two promising geniuses had perished here, fallen in the depths of a cold, icy cave...

She watched helplessly as tragedy unfolded, but no...

Yan Qiushui suddenly had a bold idea, an extremely dangerous idea.

However, she could not bear the consequences. She hesitated. As her gaze shifted, she saw the Seven Star Breastplate on the ground, which had been completely deformed by the ice flames and had lost all its vitality, leaving only a small piece of charcoal-like fragment.

On the ice not far away, there were some glistening particles, which were formed from Song Mingyue's severed arm.

If Song Mingyue hadn't helped her remove the icy flames, she would have already burned to ashes in them.

Without further hesitation, Yan Qiushui activated the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Secret Technique and the Dipper Reversal Technique.

The spatial ability opened up a space, cutting off the space where the Ice Dragon God Form was slowly descending.

Using the technique of shifting positions, she moved this space to a position dozens of meters behind her.

Gao Wu, who was preparing to throw a punch, immediately sensed something was wrong. He looked at Yan Qiushui with surprise in his eyes.

The spatial ability to transfer the Black Dragon God's form seems ingenious, but in reality, the spatial ability will be tainted by countless ice flames, and Yan Qiushui will have no way to escape.

The transformation was complete, and the ice-blue black dragon appeared dozens of meters away. The spatial shift also naturally severed the spiritual connection between the black dragon's divine form and Gao Wu.

Without the support of high martial spirit and source power, the Black Dragon Divine Form instantly collapsed into countless ice crystals amidst the icy blue flames...

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue both looked at Yan Qiushui. Yan Qiushui's beautiful eyes were now ice-blue, and her entire body had turned into a transparent ice-blue, shimmering with an eerie and terrifying flame...

"It's over!" Gao Wu's heart sank when he saw Yan Qiushui's appearance. Yan Qiushui's body was too weak. In an instant, the ice flames penetrated her inside and out, and her life force was completely destroyed by the extreme cold.

Yan Qiushui also noticed her own state, and she gave a wry smile.

Her already stunningly beautiful face, enhanced by the icy blue flames, possessed an even more extraordinary and divine charm.

Song Mingyue also flashed to Yan Qiushui's side. She looked at Yan Qiushui, who was soaked inside and out by ice flames, and her clear eyes dimmed.

She knew her friend was going to die, and she was prepared to die with Gao Wu, but she was completely unprepared for Yan Qiushui's death.

Moreover, Yan Qiushui did it to save them both.

Song Mingyue could do nothing but silently watch Yan Qiushui… Her heart felt empty, as if nothing was there, yet it also seemed to be filled with all sorts of things…

Yan Qiushui looked at Gao Wu and Song Mingyue, and said with a wry smile, "I overestimated my abilities."

Her bright face immediately lit up with excitement: "But if I can help you solve your problem, then my death won't have been in vain."

Gao Wu solemnly raised his hand in salute: "Goodbye, comrade!"

Yan Qiushui also saluted like Gao Wu, and said softly, "I've always thought you look very handsome when you salute."

"Today, as a comrade-in-arms, I can do the same."

Her voice trailed off: "I once heard a saying, 'Success doesn't have to be achieved by me, but I will definitely be a part of it.' How true that is! It's an honor to fight alongside you! Goodbye, comrades..."

The flames shimmered, and Yan Qiushui disintegrated into countless crystalline ice crystals that drifted slowly in the cold wind of the ice cave...

Song Mingyue raised her hand in salute and said softly, "Goodbye, comrade."

At the same time, glistening tears slowly slid down her cheeks...
