Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 346 Fight to the Death
The defensive positions of the second secret realm are divided into several lines of defense, with the front line being a secret minefield.

Dozens of sturdy bunkers were built around the entrance to the space. Underground tunnels connected them together.

To maintain secrecy and ensure the safety of the frontline soldiers, the soldiers on both the first and second lines of defense were evacuated in advance.

Gao Wu, Song Mingyue, and Song Xuetao were standing in front of the first line of defense. In front of them was a dense minefield, and behind them was a sturdy reinforced concrete bunker.

A wave of gray-white divine light surged out from the entrance of the spatial passage, but the layers of gray-white light quickly disintegrated and dissipated into specks of light in the real environment.

In the blink of an eye, the surging waves that seemed capable of annihilating everything were reduced to a winding, flowing ribbon of light.

Even so, the ground turned a ghastly white where the gray-white light passed.

The frozen soil covered in ice and snow seemed to have lost all its energy, turning into cold ashes.

The millions of landmines hidden in the ice and snow are like objects that have been weathered for millions of years; although their shape has not changed, their material structure has been destroyed.

Through their powerful mental abilities, Gao Wu and the other two were able to see the tremendous changes on the material level.

Fortunately, the real-world environment strongly suppresses high-level source power, greatly weakening the power that the demon god unleashed.

According to Gao Wu's estimation, the remaining power of this attack was less than one percent.

Even so, the remaining divine power was still exceptionally terrifying.

Gao Wu felt this was very unreasonable; if a demon god had such abilities, who could stop him?

The Aurora Legion was destroyed long ago!

The demon god must have paid a heavy price to unleash such divine power, which is why it took so long.

He had a premonition that the tens of millions of werewolves inside had likely been wiped out, and that the demon god's gathering of all life in the secret realm was what gave it such power.

It was also the newly blessed Qilin Divine Mantra that enhanced his innate qualities and accelerated his thinking speed.

The training within the Nine Star Dragon Ball space also gave Gao Wu a deeper understanding of the power of the Demon God.

The divine power only targeted him and Lao Song, and had nothing to do with Song Mingyue.

Therefore, he saw a strange light in Lao Song's eyes. In fact, he was also tainted by the aura of the demon god, but because he was paying attention to Lao Song, the mutual reflections obscured his perception.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Wu had already made a reasonable deduction about the source of the demon god's power.

Understanding the source and state of divine power greatly boosted Gao Wu's confidence. Surviving this attack meant survival!

Before Gao Wu could even share his analysis, the gray light had already arrived.

Song Mingyue activated the Ice Dragon Armor with all her might, and a giant white snake appeared out of thin air, its powerful source energy condensing into a massive white serpent. The serpent was hundreds of meters long and spewed out white, cold air as it faced the gray light.

The gray light paused briefly before continuing forward, and wherever it passed, the white chill and the giant white snake dimmed and turned to ashes.

The interaction of source energy caused a faint gray light to settle on Song Mingyue's body.

The invasion of divine power is terrifying.

Gao Wu did not rush to make a move. Song Mingyue had the Ice Dragon Armor and was a level seven king, so she could withstand a little divine power.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Xuetao did not hesitate to swing his sword and strike.

The bright blade light instantly illuminated the sky and the earth, even brightening the pale gray light.

In an instant, there was a truly bright and vast momentum, as if the snow reflected the sky and illuminated all things.

Strands of gray light broke neatly under the bright blade's gleam, and the deathly stillness that seemed to destroy everything also broke apart under the blade's light.

At the critical moment, Song Xuetao's pure sword intent, honed over decades, unleashed its powerful force.

His burst of source power was not as strong as Song Mingyue's, but the battle against divine power was more of a mental struggle.

The scattered, broken gray light no longer carried the meaning of annihilation; all that remained was the coldness that froze everything.

Song Xuetao's face and body were covered in a layer of white frost. He had broken through the divine power of annihilation, but he could not break through the eternal cold.

Fortunately, his divine power was nearly depleted; a wisp of icy divine power was not enough to kill Song Xuetao for the time being, but it had a significant impact on his body and his source energy core. Gao Wu seized the opportunity and unleashed the Crimson Sky Sword, its incomparably blazing divine light descending, silently melting away strands and layers of cold gray light within the crimson glow…

Where the crimson light passed, ice, snow, and rocks all melted into vapor, which then merged into the crimson light, making it even stronger.

When the crimson light dissipated, all that remained in front of Gao Wu were vast expanses of molten rock and soil crystals...

The divine power unleashed by the White Crow King was completely melted away in the extremely violent crimson light.

Gao Wu breathed a sigh of relief; the time was too short for him to discuss it with Song Mingyue and Song Xuetao.

Fortunately, Song Mingyue and he had a good understanding and she was willing to risk her life for him.

Song Xuetao also demonstrated sufficient responsibility and bravery, drawing his sword to confront the terrifying divine power.

This matter seems easy to say, but it is actually very difficult. Old Song had no idea that he was being targeted by divine power.

It was also during Old Song's all-out attack that half of the Demon God's divine power was severed, leaving only the eternally cold divine power, which was just right to be countered by the Crimson Sky Sword.

Of course, Xiao Song's contribution was also significant.

If it weren't for the three of them working together and giving their all, they might not have survived this ordeal.

Being able to exchange blows with a demon god from a distance without suffering any damage is something to be proud of!
That's a demon god!
Gao Wu saw that the white frost on Song Mingyue and Song Xuetao quickly dissipated. Although the two looked pale and the old Song even had an abnormally weak breath, their spirit, body and source power remained stable, so they could be considered to be unharmed.

Gao Wu was also extremely exhausted. Although the Crimson Sky Sword had merged with the Yin God, each time he wielded the Crimson Sky Sword, he had to consume the Yin God's essence.

Only when his Yin Spirit reached the Divine level could he barely withstand the side effects of wielding the Crimson Sky Sword.

Gao Wu felt he had gained a great deal from this battle with the Demon God from afar.

At least he had actually come into contact with that mysterious and unpredictable demon god, and even gained some understanding of the demon god's desolation and coldness.

This is equivalent to the demon god personally demonstrating his supernatural powers. Through the deep interaction of the source energy and spirit of both parties, Gao Wu saw many profound changes in the source energy.

Regardless of what divine power itself is, it must be driven by source power to trigger change.

No matter how powerful the opponent's power is, it is still within his comprehension.

Currently, the two sides are far apart. Given time, if his Yin Spirit advances further and he fully unleashes the power of the Crimson Sky Sword, it is not impossible for him to slay a god.

Gao Wu witnessed a glimpse of the mysteries of divine power, as if he had seen a new world, giving him a completely new understanding of source power, divine power, space, and life.

In his view, this is more valuable than the Nine-Star Dragon Ball.

Gao Wu looked at Song Xuetao with concern and asked, "Master Song, how is it?"

"It's nothing serious, he just needs to rest for a while."

This time, Song Xuetao unleashed the ultimate power of his secret technique. He was already old, and this time he was severely weakened.

Gao Wu didn't have a good solution either; the old man definitely couldn't withstand the effects of the dragon's blood. Taking the dragon's blood would actually be harmful.

He still has some level seven Fish-Dragon Gold Elixir, which should be enough to keep the old man alive.

Such a huge expenditure would only deplete the old man's vital energy if he were to activate the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra. In the short term, it might seem like he was recovering his energy and spirit, but in reality, it would be more harmful than beneficial.

Actually, Song Mingyue's condition wasn't very good either, but she was young and had strong vitality. Furthermore, she could convert her source energy through the Ice Dragon Armor to digest the dragon blood, so this minor injury wasn't a problem for her.

Song Mingyue also felt that she had gained an exceptionally large amount from this battle. Her Xuanming Heavenly Serpent had undergone continuous transformations, and it was now quite different from the secret techniques taught to her by Hai Wuji.

Having also fused the Ice Dragon Armor with the condensed source energy core, she has already forged her own path in martial arts.

The cold, deathly divine power displayed by the demon god has many similarities with that of the Xuanming Heavenly Serpent.

Such powerful supernatural abilities were so deeply ingrained in her mind, which certainly caused her great harm, but it also made her understand the power of coldness and death more deeply.

This even showed her a direct path to level eight...
