Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 414 The Power of the Yang God
The fist and spear clashed head-on. The silver meteor was blasted away by the violent and unparalleled force of the fist, and the silver light scattered like mercury, revealing the true form of the silver spear.

Gao Wu's right fist, which he had struck directly, was almost pierced by the Heavenly Spear, with his skin, flesh, and bones all shattered.

The sharpness enhanced by the White Tiger Divine Weapon Incantation wouldn't be advantageous in a head-on clash. However, if he were to use the Black Tortoise Divine Qi Incantation, he could emerge unscathed and gain the upper hand in such an exchange.

Fortunately, his Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra had already entered the Dao, and the Azure Dragon transformed into a dazzling spiritual light, with countless subtle Five Elements runes within his body simultaneously shining with azure light.

The invisible runes are linked together to form a vast, complex, and exceptionally tight system, which is completely governed by the Source Force Core.

With the blessing of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, Gao Wu's shattered flesh and blood instantly regenerated, and his right hand was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

The mere injury to flesh and blood can be healed simply by converting the source energy with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, without even needing to use his life force.

Having tested the power of the God's Spear, Gao Wu curled his lip at Athena in the distance: "You served the Demon God as a dog, and this is all you've learned? You're utterly worthless."

Athena frowned slightly. She didn't care about Gao Wu's sarcasm, but she was still somewhat surprised that Gao Wu had taken the God's Spear head-on with his fist.

Previously, Gao Wu had used his fist to block the Sword of Destiny, but the Sword of Destiny emphasized that the weight of fate was unbearable.

It's not surprising that Gao Wu, with his unparalleled martial arts skills, was able to withstand the sword of fate.

The Spear of the Gods is different; it has been empowered by divine power and integrated into the divine realm.

Within the realm of the gods, the Celestial Spear possesses the characteristic of being infallible and the power to pierce through everything. In this respect, it surpasses the Sword of Destiny by a great margin.

In the end, Gao Wu managed to block the God of War's Spear with his bare fists.

Athena couldn't understand what Gao Wu's body was made of, that it could be so strong and resilient.

Looking at Gao Wu again, his source energy aura was deep and calm, and the attack just now seemed to have no effect on him.

Athena's gaze fell on the suspended Destiny Sword. This sword could break the divine curse, and the Spear of the Gods was useless. Her two strongest powers were no match for Gao Wu, making this battle difficult.

Fortunately, she possesses the Eternal City, which is equivalent to a Holy Domain magnified ten thousand times. She cannot possibly lose.

Even if Gao Wu is difficult to deal with, we can wear him down eventually.

It would be even better if Qin Liuhe dared to come in!

Athena abandoned her plan to deal with Gao Wu with all her might, deciding to save this most powerful divine technique for Qin Liuhe.

However, we can't let Gao Wu run rampant. We need to pay a price to subdue Gao Wu before we can lure Qin Liuhe in!

Athena made a decision. She pointed at Gao Wu and uttered a low shout, activating the divine spell: Restriction.

Behind her stood a 500-meter-tall statue, its divine light radiating and soaring into the sky. As the central source of power and willpower for the Eternal City, the White Eagle King's statue was also activated by her.

Through the White Eagle King statue, Athena truly became the master of the Eternal City, and the forbidden divine spell she unleashed surpassed the ordinary level eight.

The restrictive spells are divided into multiple levels, from the body to the spirit, then to the source energy, and finally to space.

The divine incantation activated the divine realm space, causing it to contract layer by layer around Gao Wu. An invisible spatial restriction, like a transparent shell, sealed Gao Wu inside.

Gao Wu immediately felt immense pressure in the spatial dimension. The most powerful aspect of the restriction was that it suppressed all source power, and even with his abilities, he could not sense the existence of source power.

The foundation for a martial artist to transcend the ordinary and reach sainthood lies in their source energy. This is the first time Gao Wu has encountered a situation where source energy is completely suppressed.

Although an eighth-level saint's holy domain can suppress the source power of others, it can only suppress it; it cannot completely isolate the source power.

The divine incantation not only sealed off the source energy, but also the air, and even the light.

Gao Wu's six senses were sealed by the divine curse, leaving him in complete darkness, unable to hear or smell anything, and unable to sense any presence whatsoever.

Even their mental strength was suppressed by the opponent's divine spell.

Even Gao Wu's powerful Taiyi Battle Body was completely sealed by the divine curse. He was somewhat surprised; Athena's divine curse was truly extraordinary. Why hadn't she used it earlier?
He immediately realized that such a divine incantation was far too powerful to possibly target him alone. Even Hercules was affected by the incantation. Therefore, activating the incantation in that way would be of no use.

Of course, Athena probably didn't care much about Hercules' life or death.

Gao Wu still had the leisure to think about these things because the divine incantation could not restrain the Yang God.

The Yang God can observe the changes in the divine incantation from a higher dimension, and observe the Taiyi Battle Body that is restricted.

In the eyes of the Yang God, the world is a complex interplay of countless magnetic fields.

The largest magnetic field center within the Eternal City is none other than the colossal statue of the White Eagle King. Athena's magnetic field resonates with the statue, as if they were one.

The entire Eternal City is also an exceptionally large magnetic field, and the invisible magnetic field is exceptionally tight, forming a stable spatial secret realm.

The Taiyi Battle Body, trapped by the divine curse, had its radiating magnetic field heavily entangled by millions of magnetic fields, like a ball of yarn wrapped in billions of threads.

In order to suppress his true form, Athena used the power of the entire Eternal City.

Gao Wu was not in a hurry to break free. The Taiyi Battle Body was so powerful that the divine spell could only restrict and suppress it, and would not cause any real damage to the Taiyi Battle Body in a short period of time.

This is actually a good opportunity for him to kill Athena!
Gao Wu used his Yang God to wield the Heavenly Fate Sword, transforming it into a streak of sword light that pierced through the void and struck Athena directly.

The two were only a few hundred meters apart. Yang Shen's sword was incredibly fast, and in an instant, the clear, water-like blade had already pierced in front of Athena.

Athena was somewhat surprised. Gao Wu's spiritual power was locked down by the restrictive divine spell, so how could he still have the spare power to remotely control the sword?

Before she could think, the translucent silver divine shield automatically split in front of her, expanding and enveloping her like a silver wall of light.

The Shield of the Gods forms its own space, sealing off all directions.

Although the Heavenly Mandate Sword is a level ten divine sword, it cannot easily break through the Heavenly God's Shield within the Divine Realm.

The sword light pierced deep into the square shield, but was blocked by the spatial changes of the God's Shield.

The long Heavenly Fate Sword hummed and trembled, constantly urging its sharp sword energy to vibrate at high speed, but it was still suppressed by the spatial changes of the Heavenly God Shield, unable to advance or retreat, and was temporarily trapped in the middle of the Heavenly God Shield.

A hint of smugness flashed in Athena's blue eyes. As the master of the vast divine realm of the Eternal City, her power here had reached level nine, even surpassing Qin Liuhe's. What could Gao Wu possibly use to fight her?!
She suddenly sensed something was amiss, a feeling born of a powerful intuition. But Gao Wu was trapped, and his sword, capable of cleaving divine curses, was also trapped. What tricks could he possibly have up his sleeve?
Even if Qin Liuhe gets in, the Heavenly God's Shield must be broken first!
Just then, Athena saw Gao Wu reveal himself.

Whether it's physique, demeanor, or source energy state, the high martial artist in front of me is exactly the same as the high martial artist trapped by the forbidden divine curse.

Athena's emerald eyes were filled with shock. It was nothing unusual for Gao Wu to have a twin brother, let alone create an avatar.

With current biotechnology, replicating one's own body isn't difficult. The question is, how did Gao Wu get in?
Gao Wu noticed Athena's shock, which was precisely the greatest strength of the Yang God. The Yang God would not interact with the outside world when not controlling the source power.

Although the Shield of the Gods has its own spatial barrier, it cannot stop the invisible, shadowless, and intangible Yang God.

The Yang God instantly unleashed the Five Divine Incantations, striking Athena's chest with a palm strike. The Yang God, lacking a physical form, was faster than the Taiyi Battle Body, and could also wield source energy to unleash all martial arts techniques.

With the blessing of divine incantations, this palm strike, though seemingly effortless, actually employed the sharp sword intent of the Heavenly Dragon Sword and was further enhanced by the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Incantation, turning his palm a deep crimson.

Although Athena was extremely shocked, she still reacted. Her body shone brightly, transforming into a dazzling silver armor. At the same time, she activated the divine spell reversal, and her body shone with multiple halos.

Gao Wu had witnessed the Reversal Divine Curse before. With a single palm strike, he pierced through Athena's protective aura, and the sharp sword intent condensed at a temperature of 30,000 degrees Celsius also pierced through the brilliant silver armor.

With a single palm strike, a huge, penetrating palm print was left on Athena's chest.

As the sword intent surged forth, Athena's body instantly turned to ash...

Gao Wu killed Athena's body and mental center, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong; the battle didn't seem to be over yet...
