Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 374 The Power of Level Eight
Xin'an City.

Gao Wu visited last April. At that time, Xin'an was prosperous and bustling, with a touch of decadent and psychedelic charm, which was very unique.

A year later, Xin'an City has become a ghost town. The streets are littered with haphazardly parked vehicles and all sorts of garbage, along with large amounts of blood and bones...

Many buildings show signs of damage, and some have even collapsed more than halfway.

Looking around, all that could be seen was desolation and death.

Gao Wu couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came to Xin'an. He even remembered that the taxi driver who took him was named Tanaka Yoshi, a somewhat sleazy middle-aged man.

It's not a matter of good or bad; he's just a man busy making a living, with a family to support, children to raise, and household expenses to cover.

In such a cataclysmic event, Tanaka Yoshi must have died. Like millions of other ordinary people, he died, his body becoming food for some alien race.

For some reason, Gao Wu suddenly felt a lot of sympathy for Tanaka Yoshi. It wasn't that he liked or admired him; Tanaka Yoshi was just a personification of the millions of ordinary people on Dongwei Island.

Gao Wu then thought of Zhang Yunpeng, the head of the Dongwei Island Supervision Department and a sixth-level martial arts master. This smiling, fat man was actually quite cunning.

Unfortunately, the other party must have also perished in this earth-shattering event.

He had a very good impression of Senior Brother Zhang, and the loss of such a good person made him even more saddened.

Gao Wu turned his gaze to Meixinzhai. Dongwei Island had been transformed into a secret realm, and Meixinzhai was almost integrated with Dongwei Island, with no longer any obvious spatial barrier visible.

He activated his Yin Spirit to observe all directions and condensed the Taiyi Battle Body, greatly increasing the power of the Yin Spirit.

Through the Yin Spirit, one can not only see changes in source energy and life force, but also changes in the spatial dimension.

He also made great progress in the Xuanlong Dao and developed his own unique understanding of space.

At this moment, looking at Dongwei Island through the Yin Spirit, one can see that the roots deep within Meixinzhai are like spatial anomalies, with invisible branches extending from Meixinzhai covering Dongwei Island.

The invisible branches of space act like a barrier, separating Dongwei Island from the real world. The tree roots deep within Meixinzhai provide an inexhaustible source of energy, sustaining the growth and reproduction of countless branches.

The current state of the secret realm on Dongwei Island is still unstable. If the root deep within Meixinzhai can be severed, without the support of endless source power, those branch-like spatial barriers will slowly wither, and Dongwei Island will reconnect with the real world.

He had previously ventured deep into Meixinzhai and almost entered the otherworldly realm within its depths. He was quite familiar with the situation inside.

Gao Wu suddenly understood the key to this battle: to sever the direct connection between Dongwei Island and the other world.

The people on Dongwei Island are all dead, but they can take back Dongwei Island and protect the gateway to the southeastern two states!
By mastering the Taiyi Battle Body, Gao Wu can observe Dongwei Island from a higher perspective and easily grasp the key points.

If no one stops him, he could unleash the full power of the Crimson Sky Sword and sever the connection between the other world and Dongwei Island.

Of course, maybe...

Such spatial changes were still too complex and profound; he was unsure whether the power of the Crimson Sky Sword could effectively damage the spatial root system.

With the Yin Spirit empowered by the Taiyi Battle Body, the Crimson Sky Sword can unleash even greater power. Therefore, Gao Wu is not entirely certain about these matters.

Gao Wu wasn't in a hurry to make a move. With so many level eight experts hidden away, he wouldn't just stand by and watch him act recklessly.

Although the Crimson Sky Sword is powerful, it is not invincible.

The Yin spirit swept across Xin'an City and discovered a large number of life energies, all lurking inside various buildings.

These were clearly tortoise-shell aliens, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The city, seemingly desolate and lifeless, was actually teeming with life force, making it all the more terrifying and unsettling.

A tortoise-shell alien flew out from deep within a building in the city center and waved to Gao Wu and Song Mingyue, who were thousands of meters away.

This gesture is very simple and will not cause any misunderstanding.

Gao Wu looked at the seventh-order source energy aura emanating from the other party, and a cold smile appeared on his face behind the scarlet mask.

It doesn't matter if you use a straight hook for fishing, as long as you have bait.

Gao Wu was well aware of the dangers within Xin'an City, but that was precisely why he had come. In his eyes, the other party was nothing more than a walking experience point.

The Yin God rode an eight-winged mechanical angel straight at the level seven alien, reaching a speed of 1,500 meters per second, and closed in on the opponent in less than three seconds.

The level seven alien race retreated rapidly, his speed was exceptionally fast and light, even giving people a sense of agility.

He was clearly retreating, but his movements were so unpredictable that it was impossible to pinpoint his true direction.

Speaking solely of their application of source power, this alien race is the most ingenious one that Gao Wu has ever seen.

This small example shows that the martial arts cultivation of this alien race is no worse than Bai Chan's, and in fact, because of his compatibility with the source power of the secret realm, he is even 30% stronger than Bai Chan in terms of source power level.

Gao Wu also realized the problem: he still had too many stereotypes about the alien races. There were martial arts geniuses among the alien races; not all of them relied on divine power to cultivate.

However, the Yin spirit, which has become part of the Taiyi Battle Body, can clearly see the opponent's source power operation and changes in spiritual power.

No matter how the other party changes, the Yin spirit can see through their true nature.

The eight-winged mechanical angel suddenly accelerated, tearing through space, and its eight vibrating blades turned forward to stab the opponent.

The level-seven alien's beady eyes widened in horror. The eight-winged mechanical angel was attacking too fast; he had no chance to dodge. In this critical moment, he could only slash horizontally with his sword. The dazzling blade light, like a crescent moon, left a hundred-meter-long, sharp gash in the air.

The eight blades activated by the eight-winged mechanical angel spun rapidly, shredding the horizontal slashing light piece by piece.

Even as the level seven alien race was about to retreat, Gao Wu had already activated the Swift Thunder Transformation, and an invisible bolt of lightning struck the level seven alien race's source energy core directly.

The same move, amplified by the Taiyi Battle Body, became at least twice as powerful. Lightning flashed across the source energy core of the level seven alien race, and his very consciousness was shaken.

Mental magic is common, but this powerful mental magic terrified him. As a martial arts genius, he didn't like storing divine magic in his mental world, and now he was suffering the consequences.

He watched helplessly as the sword wheel spun rapidly toward him, unable to react in any way, and felt utterly hopeless.

Just as the level seven alien was about to be shredded into mincemeat by the sword wheel, the level eight bishop Rose couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at it from afar.

The vast domain of law descended, and the rapidly spinning sword wheel suddenly froze. The level seven alien race, its eyes filled with terror, was also moved to the back by Rose, who then took the place where the level seven alien race had been.

The black-robed, bald Rossai was a full two meters tall, with one side of his face covered in tattoos depicting the seven divine powers of the Scorpion King.

As an eighth-ranking archbishop, the tattoo on his face was not simply a sign of loyalty to the divine, but a permanent divine incantation imbued with divine power.

The permanent spell doubles the power of his divine magic while halving its cost. This is a unique gift bestowed upon the archbishop.

The Scorpion King's divine power does not include spatial properties, but Rose, with his powerful source power and divine magic properties, can still control a large area of ​​magical space.

Within this domain, all external source power and spiritual power are suppressed, creating a scene as if space itself has frozen.

In reality, only the rapidly spinning sword wheel was fixed in place, and the eight-winged mechanical angel was also bound from all directions by the vast source power of the magic domain.

Gao Wu often fought with his teacher, but this was the first time he had ever truly felt the changes in the Dharma Domain.

Previously, his level was too low. Hai Wuji only guided martial arts techniques and did not talk much about the Dharma Domain.

The sleeping ice dragon didn't even have time to activate its divine domain.

Only now did Gao Wu truly experience the power of the Law Domain. He didn't recognize the other party's bald head, but he recognized the intense aura of the Scorpion King's divine power emanating from him.

Without needing an introduction, he knew the other party must be an eighth-level bishop. The area covered by the magical domain activated by the other party was extremely large.

Through the Yin spirit, one can even clearly see the boundary of the Dharma Domain, which is roughly a circular Dharma Domain with a diameter of one kilometer.

Within the domain, all source energy is governed and arranged in an orderly manner by the domain. If he wants to circulate source energy within the domain, he must first break through the domain's constraints on the source energy, and secondly, he must rearrange and recombine the source energy.

Once you reach the eighth level, no matter how advanced your martial arts are, it's useless, because the Law Domain is all about the strong bullying the weak. As long as you can't shake the Law Domain, you'll be completely suppressed.

Song Mingyue felt immense pressure. Her spiritual power was bound within her body by the Dharma Domain and could not be released, so she was naturally unable to control the source power.

She didn't fall from the sky this time because she was still using the dragon crystal of the Ice Dragon Armor to circulate her source power.

Gao Wu was actually similar to Song Mingyue; his mental strength was no worse than hers, and in fact, much stronger.

However, he did not truly resonate with heaven and earth, and was unable to release his source force field to form a domain, and was also suppressed by the opponent's domain.

Forcibly stimulating the flow of spiritual power to generate source energy is not impossible, but it consumes too much spiritual power.

The Law Domain operates in an orderly manner. If he relies on his powerful spiritual strength to act recklessly, he will soon have all his power consumed by the Law Domain.

Gao Wu was able to circulate his source power within his body through the Taiyi Battle Body, completely unaffected by the suppression of the Law Domain.

The same applies to the eight-winged mechanical angel; its Yin spirit is unaffected by the suppression of the opponent's domain. No matter how orderly a domain is, it cannot perfectly control all source power. As long as the Yin spirit functions normally, the eight-winged mechanical angel will not be affected.

Rose observed Gao Wu and his group through the Dharma Domain and found that they were handling the situation with great composure.

Although he had somewhat anticipated this, he was still somewhat surprised to see Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's strength with his own eyes.

Venus and the other three level-eight saints were also watching the battle through the Pantheon.

For the first time, the three saints, Poseidon, Ares, and Apollo, also acknowledged Venus's judgment. This Gao Wu was truly too bizarre and abnormal!
A few days ago, Gao Wu killed eight level seven aliens, but his skill level was still within the level seven range. It's just that Gao Wu's grasp of the opportunity was too strong, and his secret techniques were endless.

The spatial transformation is particularly impressive, completely overwhelming compared to others in the same class.

This time was different; Gao Wu was directly confronting a Law Domain expert. Even the young girl, Song Mingyue, wore armor of a very high grade. The difference was that Gao Wu relied entirely on his own strength, making him far superior to Song Mingyue in terms of power level.

"Now that we've made our move, we must eliminate Gao Wu no matter what." Poseidon communicated with the other three saints through telepathy, expressing his determination to kill Gao Wu.

Such an unpredictable guy, growing at such a rapid pace, might advance to level eight any day. At that point, they might not be able to defeat him...

Apollo said, "Let's maintain the Pantheon's protective spatial barrier first to prevent Hai Wuji from escaping. We also need to be wary of Qin Jiuyue; he might be hiding near Gao Wu..."

Ares added, "Qin Jiuyue will definitely come, otherwise how would that kid have dared to venture deep into Dongwei Island? We only have one chance to make a move!"

Poseidon didn't say anything, but it was clear that the two level-eight Martial Saints were the highest priority targets. However, he had already made up his mind that even if the two Martial Saints didn't come, he would risk exposing his whereabouts to kill Gao Wu!
