Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 378 Slaughtering Eighth-Rank Officials
Archbishop Rosell was excluded from the Pantheon because, although they had a cooperative relationship, they did not fully trust each other.

Venus and the others considered themselves descendants of gods and looked down on Rose, a pure believer in demons.

Rose was well aware of this; he loathed the other's unfounded arrogance, didn't trust him much, and was unwilling to enter the Pantheon.

Although he was an eighth-level archbishop, it was too dangerous for him to be at the mercy of the other party once he entered the Pantheon.

But he never expected that a group of level eight experts who were fishing would end up being fished out by someone else.

Rose was extremely shocked by this, as Dongwei Island had been transformed into a secret realm only after being blessed by divine power.

The power exerted by the opponent must first penetrate the spatial barrier transformed by divine power before it can grasp the Pantheon.

The powerful artifact, the Pantheon, possessed the ability to control space, yet it was forcibly restricted and dragged into the void.

He didn't know where the Pantheon had gone, and it was easy to imagine that the Pantheon was like a lamb that had fallen into a tiger's den, destined for a terrible end.

How could Qin Jiuyue, a mere level eight, possess such supernatural powers? Luo Sai couldn't understand it at all. Even the Scorpion King's divine power would be greatly suppressed in the real world, and he probably couldn't achieve this.

It's easy to imagine that the Pantheon's fate was going to be terrible!
Because of his high level of source power, Rose was able to understand how shocking and terrifying this scene was.

The Federation lost four Level 8 Saints and four powerful Level 9 artifacts. This was a fatal blow to the Federation.

The Scorpion Cult's roots are still within the Federation, so they share a common destiny. If the Federation were to face major problems, it would be a devastating blow to the many cults that depend on it.

Archbishop Rose was still assessing the serious consequences of this incident when he saw Gao Wu greeting him with a smug and arrogant expression.

Luo Sai's face was gloomy. He was afraid of Qin Jiuyue's power, but not so much of Hai Wuji, let alone a mere high-level martial artist.

However, he immediately thought of the terrifying crimson light that had burned through the Pantheon earlier. Could it be this kid's divine artifact?
If it were Hai Wuji's divine weapon, there would be no reason for him to hide it and not use it when he was besieged.

Rose immediately lost interest in fighting and said to Hai Wuji, "Sir, I concede this round."

Hai Wuji laughed too: "Archbishop, this isn't a sports competition. You can't just admit defeat and that's it."

Rose slowly shook his head. "Your Excellency, I can give you Dongwei Island. But you insist on forcing me, and in your words, we can only perish together!"

"You?!" Gao Wu, impatient with the bald man's nonsense, said to Hai Wuji, "Master, why waste your breath on him... just kill him!"

Hai Wuji admonished, "Don't do that, it's too vulgar."

"Oh, Master, please slay this demon!"

"good."

Hai Wuji had been hiding and brooding on Dongwei Island for many days, and now that he had finally found someone to vent his anger on, he was naturally not going to let Luo Sai go.

He didn't give Rossi a chance to waste words and immediately unleashed the Han Guang Sword to charge forward.

Without the suppression of the Pantheon, Hai Wuji's spatial abilities combined with the source force field made the vast space his domain.

Hai Wuji didn't move, but he unleashed his sword energy, which spread throughout the void, layer upon layer, enveloping Rossai within it.

Rose knew his opponent wouldn't let him go, but he had to try. Since his opponent was determined to fight to the death, he had nothing to fear.

The runes on Rose's cheeks shone with divine light, and the Curse of Pain was activated first.

The intense pain, bestowed by divine power, contorted Rose's fleshy face. Stimulated by the pain, the source energy core swelled and grew larger, and the source energy level suddenly tripled.

The higher the level of source power, the more difficult it is to unleash. This is because source power ultimately needs to be contained by the mind and body.

The Painful Divine Curse not only stimulates the Source Energy Core, but also binds it, keeping the Source Energy Core in a relatively stable and controllable state during its eruption.

Rose's spiritual power surged, and he immediately activated a second divine incantation, Witness.

Mysterious incantations appeared in Rose's left eye, and the world in his left eye transformed into a dazzling world of colorful source energy.

The spatial domain unleashed by Hai Wuji was outlined within a clear framework in his eyes.

Through the Eye of Witness, Rose could also see the connection between Hai Wuji and the Spatial Law Domain, the different changes in the level of Source Power, and the intense Source Power aura flowing around Song Mingyue and Gao Wu.

Even the seemingly weakest Song Mingyue actually possesses a powerful source energy core hidden in her left hand.

Rose was able to see so clearly because the remnants of the Scorpion King's divine power were everywhere on Dongwei Island, greatly enhancing the power of the divine spell.

Just by observing Hai Wuji's precise transformation of source energy, he knew that he was far inferior to his opponent in terms of martial arts.

If you can't beat them, just use divine magic; it's the simplest and most effective way. Rose reached out and ran her hand along the blade of the Seven Deadly Blades, her cut palm staining the beautiful blade with blood.

Using the power of the divine sword, he activated the third divine curse: Decay.

The divine power transformed into an invisible, decaying force, causing all things to decay, causing the source energy to decay, and causing space to decay.

The spatial domain generated by Hai Wuji originally had a stable and tight structure, but under the corrosive influence of the decaying divine curse, even the framework was eroded, the tight spatial domain framework was destroyed, and the invisible spatial barrier was corroded into countless holes.

If the spatial domain that Hai Wuji created before was a tight prison, now the prison is like a dilapidated place after thousands of years of rain and wind.

Even the sword energy generated by Hai Wuji was corrupted by divine power, and the sharp sword energy became extremely dull.

"You've got some skill." Hai Wuji didn't underestimate Luo Sai, after all, he was an eighth-level archbishop, and Dongwei Island could be considered his home ground.

However, the sheer power of the divine magic the opponent unleashed still exceeded his expectations.

Hai Wuji didn't care too much, and he didn't expect his spatial domain to trap his opponent. Although his domain was damaged, it didn't prevent him from freely changing his position within it.

The next moment, Hai Wuji was already behind Luo Sai, and the Han Guang sword in his hand lightly pierced the back of Luo Sai's head like a streak of light.

The Seven Deadly Divine Blades in Rose's hand suddenly shone brightly, unleashing a destructive power.

Where the blade flashed, the domain and source power were completely destroyed.

Hai Wuji had already quietly retreated a hundred meters away. No matter how fiercely Luo Sai unleashed his power, it was useless if he couldn't touch him.

Such a powerful move, even Rose couldn't use more than a few moves!
When the light of destruction dissipated, Hai Wuji had already returned to Rose's side. His movements were as swift as teleportation, forcing Rose to unleash the Annihilation Divine Curse once more…

Gao Wu, watching from a distance of a thousand meters, saw his teacher come and go like a ghost, while Luo Sai could only passively take hits. He was quite envious.

His spatial abilities have reached a level that can be described as divine. If his Xuanlong Dao could reach the same level as his teacher, killing an eighth-level opponent shouldn't be difficult...

After all, the strength of the eighth level is only in the Law Domain. The Taiyi Battle Body is not subject to interference or suppression from the Law Domain, so it is already qualified to fight against the eighth level.

Archbishop Rose was indeed lacking in martial arts; he could only suppress opponents on a large scale with divine magic, but he couldn't even get close to his teacher.

No wonder the teacher looked down on the Federation's Level 8...

The battle between Rose and Hai Wuji lasted less than two minutes before Rose, who was frequently unleashing divine magic, began to falter.

He consumed ten times the source power of Hai Wuji, and even with divine power, he could not continue to consume it.

However, Rose had already prepared for this. Although the divine spells missed their mark, they left deep marks of divine spells in the air.

These divine marks are actually connected to the divine power scattered throughout the secret realm of Dongwei Island, like a series of divine power markers that were set up in advance.

When Hai Wuji arrived again on his sword, Rose activated the most powerful divine spell: Termination.

The final incantation transformed into strange black runes that appeared in the air, forming a vast divine domain that covered the sky and the earth through the divine power imprints that had been activated earlier.

All life within the range of the Ending Curse will be instantly terminated. Only Rose, who is specially blessed by divine power, can be exempt from the divine power of 'Ending'.

Hai Wuji sensed something was wrong and immediately withdrew from the range of the Ending Divine Curse. He used his mental power to communicate with Gao Wu: "This old guy is trying to escape."

"Master, if you block him, my Crimson Sky Sword can still be used!" Gao Wu was very excited about this. He was embarrassed to ask his teacher to spare someone's life, after all, level eight combat was too dangerous.

Now that he has this opportunity, he won't hold back on taking Rose's head.

"it is good."

Hai Wuji, wielding the Han Guang Sword, unleashed the Tianma Sword Domain. Invisible sword lights crisscrossed in the void, converging around Luo Sai to form a closed sword domain that locked onto him.

Rose activated the Ending Divine Incantation, which clashed with the Pegasus Sword Domain. The power of the incantation to end everything was equally effective against the Pegasus Sword Domain.

However, the clash between the two powerful domain forces still temporarily suppressed Rose.

Gao Wu had a very accurate grasp of the battle situation, and he immediately used his Yin Spirit to activate the Crimson Sky Sword.

The dazzling crimson light pierced through the Heavenly and Earth-covering End Curse and Rose...

In an instant, only a brilliant, blazing crimson light shone proudly across the sky above Dongwei Island...

(Everyone says the title doesn't live up to the hype and that there's no cultivation content. While I don't agree, I can only say that everyone has a different understanding of cultivation. So I changed the title.)
