Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 377 Supreme Divine Power

The Federation's four Level 8 Saints all possess Level 9 Divine Artifacts.

Hai Wuji felt that the Pantheon was the most troublesome, as it exerted strong pressure on him on a spatial level.

Without the Pantheon, his spatial abilities would have been enough to hold his own against the opponent.

At this point, we can only rely on our strength to withstand the challenge.

Hai Wuji brandished the Han Guang Sword, and endless source power transformed into magnificent and vast sword energy through the blade.

His main skill is the Pegasus Sword, which emphasizes the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of the sword, like a celestial horse galloping through the sky. Combined with his spatial abilities, it becomes even more wondrous and unpredictable.

The Han Guang Sword is a level nine divine sword, its blade flowing like light, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, and it is exceptionally well-suited to his Tianma Sword.

Since attaining the seventh level of enlightenment, Hai Wuji has never engaged in a direct confrontation with anyone.

Suppressed by the Pantheon, he could only confront the Blazing Spear head-on with the Han Guang Sword. While their levels were roughly equal, the Blazing Spear was more domineering and intense, while the Han Guang Sword possessed a profound and mysterious power.

However, this direct confrontation was the advantage of the Flaming Spear. Moreover, Apollo pointed an arrow of light at him with his Sun Bow, and before the arrow could be released, Hai Wuji felt as if the arrow of light had pierced through his heart.

Compared to Apollo, who held back his attack, Poseidon, poised to strike, was even more overwhelming, making it hard for him to breathe.

Hai Wuji had never felt so frustrated in his life. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, forced to fight back against all odds.

Unfortunately, the opponents were all extremely powerful level eight opponents, wielding level nine divine artifacts.

This battle is not only about his personal life and death, but also about the fate of China. If they lose, the alliance could very well be finished...

In the critical moment, Hai Wuji actually calmed down, and all his emotions were transformed into sword intent, which he poured into the Han Guang Sword.

The Han Guang Sword, fueled by the sword energy, had transformed into a dazzling divine light, directly clashing with the flaming spear that was thrusting straight at it.

Ares felt something was wrong as he wielded the flaming spear. There was no source energy feedback when the spear and sword clashed, and the fierce and domineering spear seemed to pierce empty air.

His vision and mental perception could sense the clash of swords and spears, but there was no corresponding change in source energy. The contradictory perceptions made him very uncomfortable.

Ares knew it must be Hai Wuji's spatial transformation, but he never expected it to combine so perfectly with the sword energy.

In terms of combat skills and combat awareness, he has already lost a move. If he were to fight Hai Wuji alone, he would have to retreat and defend by now.

The situation is different now, with three level-eight saints watching Hai Wuji. Regardless of how the opponent's powerful sword energy transforms into nothingness, Ares knows that such spatial changes must have their limits.

Ares's spiritual power surged suddenly, and the flames on his flaming spear intensified, causing the spear to pierce through the void, turning it crimson.

Although Hai Wuji's transformation of the sword into nothingness was ingenious, it ultimately contained such violent source power that the Han Guang sword in his hand trembled and he had to retreat.

The engulfed flames erupted along with it, turning the area where the spear pointed into a sea of ​​fire.

With a turn of the sword, the sword energy condensed and converged into a sharp-angled mirror of light, diverting the violent source of flames as much as possible.

Seeing his opportunity, the handsome and fair-skinned Apollo released his grip on the bowstring, and the arrow of light, formed from the rays of the sun, pierced through space and shot straight at Hai Wuji.

The Arrow of Light possesses the power to pierce through space and even has a near-guaranteed hit rate.

Legend has it that the Arrow of Light can even strike a person's most vulnerable spot, killing the enemy with a single shot.

The arrow of light cast by Apollo himself does indeed have the ability to pinpoint the enemy's weaknesses.

Of course, this is not a world of myths and legends. Guaranteed hit and guaranteed kill are relative terms.

Poseidon trusted Apollo's abilities. Hai Wuji was already struggling against Ares, and being hit by the Arrow of Light would not kill him, but it would be the best opportunity for Poseidon to kill Hai Wuji.

As for Qin Jiuyue, even if he hid next to Gao Wu, it would be useless. The Pantheon had already set up a space-locking barrier, and even if Qin Jiuyue escaped, he would only be trapped inside and beaten.

If Qin Jiuyue were outside Dongwei Island, he wouldn't have had time to participate in the battle no matter what.

Poseidon did not take Gao Wu into account; a level seven warrior would not have a significant impact on the overall situation in a level eight battle.

At this crucial juncture that determined the entire battle, Hai Wuji and Gao Wu swapped positions through spatial manipulation.

The targets of the flaming spears and arrows of light have all become high-level martial artists.

The four saints were somewhat surprised. Hai Wuji had only appeared to save Gao Wu, so why did he throw Gao Wu out as a shield at the crucial moment?
The problem is that even Gao Wu isn't qualified to be a shield. Despite his formidable physique, he's as fragile as glass when facing a level nine divine artifact.

Even the saints didn't understand the significance of doing this!
Gao Wu didn't care what the saints thought; he immediately used his Yin Spirit to unleash the Crimson Sky Sword.

Having been strengthened by the Taiyi Battle Body, Yin Shen felt noticeably more relaxed when wielding the Crimson Sky Sword; at least he didn't need to exert his full strength as before.

The moment the incomparably blazing Crimson Sky Sword appeared, terrifying high temperatures radiated in all directions, turning the entire space into a giant furnace.

Ares's flaming spear was directly covered by the crimson light unleashed by the Crimson Sky Sword.

The arrow of light, shooting straight through space, instantly dissolved under the crimson light.

The dazzling crimson light surged forward with an overwhelming force capable of destroying everything, causing Ares to hastily retreat to the side in fear.

Poseidon also realized that he had made a huge mistake; he hadn't even considered Gao Wu's intentions!

What surprised him even more was that Gao Wu possessed such a powerful and violent artifact, one that even the Pantheon, combined with the Dongwei Island Secret Realm, could not suppress.

Although he wielded the Trident of Poseidon, he was not qualified to stop the crimson light. The difference in their energy levels was too great.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was the first time Poseidon had ever seen such a pure and powerful burst of energy.

The dazzling crimson light surged forward relentlessly, directly transforming everything in its path into energy flames.

The void barrier transformed by the Pantheon was blasted open by the crimson light, creating a huge hole.

The secret realm of Dongwei Island was even pierced directly by the Crimson Sky Sword.

Venus was both shocked and helpless. In order to trap Hai Wuji, the Pantheon shrank to its limit, locking in a space with a diameter of 100 meters.

For this reason, the Pantheon unleashed all its spatial power. Faced with the overwhelmingly violent crimson light, there was no time to make any further changes.

Ares and Apollo were unwilling to take the risk, and even Poseidon dared not try to stop them.

No one wanted to take any risks, and without any buffer, she had no way to control the Pantheon to respond.

The crimson light stretched for hundreds of miles, burning through the void and spatial barriers, and also breaking through all attacks.

Moreover, the intense heat emitted by the Crimson Sky Sword also caused enormous damage to Dongwei Island.

Everything that reached the red light was melted and burned.

A long, fiery dragon stretched along the Crimson Sky Sword, its intense heat transforming the entire city into a massive inferno... Almost half of the tortoise-shell aliens hiding within were instantly reduced to ashes. Even the few with higher cultivation levels had their inner energy ignited by the intense heat, turning them into burning fireballs. Hai Wuji hadn't expected the Crimson Sky Sword to be so domineering. He struggled to comprehend how Gao Wu could wield such powerful energy, and even carry it with him... This was far more powerful than Gao Wu had demonstrated.

"Good lad!" Hai Wuji praised inwardly. He seized the opportunity to lead Gao Wu and follow the Crimson Sky Sword as they left the Pantheon and the East Guard Island Secret Realm.

Having escaped the desperate situation so easily, Hai Wuji looked down at Dongwei Island with a sense of unreality.

Gao Wu had already controlled the Yin God and retrieved the Crimson Sky Sword. Although the Yin God was extremely exhausted, it still retained some combat power.

The Taiyi Battle Body indeed greatly enhanced his control over the Crimson Sky Sword.

He is not yet able to control the Crimson Sky Sword to make complex changes, but he can further unleash the power of the Crimson Sky Sword.

After all, the Crimson Sky Sword was capable of slaying a level ten ice dragon, and Qin Liuhe placed high hopes on it, believing it to be the key to unlocking the Epang Palace Divine Realm.

If the full power of the Crimson Sky Sword could be unleashed, without any control, its supreme power alone would be enough to kill Venus and other level eight beings, or even level nine beings.

After this battle, Gao Wu gained a more accurate understanding of the Taiyi Battle Body and the Crimson Sky Sword, and also gained some experience in wielding the Crimson Sky Sword.

Gao Wu's realization is that as long as the power is strong enough to the extreme, there is no need for skills; it is enough to crush all enemies.

The inability to crush it only means that the strength is not strong enough...

Freed from the control of the Pantheon, Hai Wuji was in high spirits. He was not in a hurry to leave and could come and go as he pleased outside Dongwei Island.

Even with the Pantheon, the other side couldn't do anything to him.

Hai Wuji laughed and scolded Gao Wu, "The Crimson Sky Sword is so powerful, why didn't you take it out sooner? Instead, I had to waste so much time talking to you!"

Thinking about how he had just told Gao Wu about his last wishes, Hai Wuji felt a little embarrassed.

They could have easily escaped, why all the fuss...

Gao Wu chuckled dryly, "Master, I didn't know the power of the Crimson Sky Sword either. I didn't mean to."

Fearing that Hai Wuji would scold him again, he hurriedly released Song Mingyue from the Xuanlong Ring.

Trapped in the enclosed space, Song Mingyue had no idea what was happening outside.

But as soon as she saw the burning sky, she knew that Gao Wu had activated the Crimson Sky Sword. She looked at Gao Wu with some worry.

Gao Wu gave Song Mingyue a reassuring look. The Taiyi Battle Body had only released eight-tenths of the Crimson Sky Sword's divine power. If he wanted, he could even unleash two more attacks!

Just as Song Mingyue was about to speak, she suddenly sensed something.

Gao Wu and Hai Wuji also changed their expressions slightly and looked up together.

Qin Liuhe, dressed in a black robe, appeared out of nowhere. He stood tens of thousands of meters above the sky, directly above Dongwei Island.

Qin Liuhe did not greet Hai Wuji and Gao Wu. He held the Jade Seal of Destiny and gently pressed it down to imprint the seal.

"By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous." These eight ancient characters transformed into brilliant golden light and were imprinted above Dongwei Island.

To be precise, it was printed on the Pantheon.

Under the boundless power of the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, the Pantheon revealed its true form.

With its white megalithic pillars and massive circular dome, the entire hall is magnificent, grand, ancient, and imposing.

It truly looks like a palace of the gods, possessing an indescribable sacred majesty.

The Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal emitted a golden light from the eight characters, which were deeply imprinted inside and outside the Pantheon, enveloping the entire temple.

The four level-eight saints inside the Pantheon sensed something was wrong. They could not see Qin Liuhe, nor could they see the Jade Seal of Destiny. They could only sense that the space of the Pantheon was sealed and restricted by some powerful force.

Poseidon, Ares, and Apollo all looked at Venus, their eyes filled with confusion.

Venus, with her stunning beauty, was also filled with astonishment. She said, "A force has sealed off the Pantheon. No, we must use divine power to break the seal immediately. Space is shifting..."

Just as the other three saints were about to cooperate, they felt the Pantheon shaking violently, and a vast and endless spatial power surged and swept over them like a raging tide.

The individuals within were inevitably impacted by the tremor of spatial energy. Despite being level eight experts, they were unable to suppress the intense spatial fluctuations in a short period.

What's more troublesome is that their connection with the Pantheon has been disrupted, and even their connection with the Demon God has been severed.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue, who were outside Dongwei Island, could see very clearly that the Pantheon, which was sealed by the eight characters of brilliant golden light, was suddenly drawn into the sky by the Jade Seal of Destiny.

Tens of thousands of meters above the ground, a gigantic black hole had appeared, its location unknown. Deep within this black hole, a vast palace complex was faintly visible…

Qin Liuhe rushed into the spatial black hole with the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, and the Pantheon, which was being led by the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, followed him in.

The void trembled, and the spatial black hole immediately closed. Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

However, the massive pantheon was forcibly dragged tens of thousands of meters into the air, leaving behind a huge trace of source energy vibration in the sky and earth, which transformed into a thunderous roar that reverberated continuously in the clouds.

The dramatic spatial changes caused the seawater below to surge into towering waves hundreds of meters high, crashing straight onto Dongwei Island...

Gao Wu was stunned. Qin Liuhe had taken the Pantheon with him?! How did he do that? Where was Old Qin going?

He had a vague feeling that Old Qin must have taken the Pantheon to the Epang Palace... Only the mysterious Epang Palace could have moved the Pantheon from a distance.

He used the Crimson Sky Sword to blast through the Pantheon and escape, revealing the true form of the Pantheon and completely separating it from the East Guard Island Secret Realm.

Old Qin had been waiting for this opportunity to seize the Pantheon with the Jade Seal of Destiny and take it away directly.

After enduring so much, he finally eliminated the Federation's top saint and several powerful artifacts in one fell swoop. One can only say that Old Qin is truly formidable.

However, Lao Qin must have paid a huge price to achieve this. It was definitely not as easy as he made it out to be.

Gao Wu's mind was working very well now, and he knew Lao Qin quite well. In a flash, he had already figured out the general situation.

While admiring Lao Qin's abilities, he couldn't help but sigh. Lao Qin was too shrewd; following such a powerful figure made him feel uneasy at all...

Qin Liuhe left, but he left Gao Wu, Hai Wuji, and Song Mingyue with a message: "You guys take care of Luo Sai and clean up all traces of the demon god remaining on Dongwei Island."

Above the now-burning city of Xin'an, Rose was staring wide-eyed at the sky, unable to comprehend how the Pantheon had suddenly vanished into thin air.

Archbishop Rose immediately sensed something was wrong; a sharp yet ethereal sword intent had somehow wrapped around him.

Rose's gaze shifted and she saw Hai Wuji wearing dark blue armor, as well as Gao Wu and Song Mingyue.

Gao Wu, who wasn't wearing any armor, grinned at Luo Sai: "Old bald guy, we meet again!"
