Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

The Yang God is restricted by the laws of the universe. Even if a high-level martial artist advances to the level of a Divine General, the Yang God cannot travel outside. The spiritual power of the Yang God can only be released at about 50%.

As soon as Gao Wu saw the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, he knew that he couldn't defeat him with the Limitless Divine Armor.

The Azure Light Dao Ancestor could also manipulate space. Although he could cope with it using the Profound Dragon Dao, his understanding of space was far inferior to that of his opponent.

In this situation, the only way to kill Qingguang Daozu is to bring him into the spiritual world and fight him directly through the Yang God.

The Yang God can fully unleash spiritual power, add various divine spells, and activate the Heavenly Sword.

Even the Heavenly Sword, hidden deep within the Yang Spirit, could not be unleashed and could only be used in the spiritual world.

While Gao Wu activated the Heavenly Fate Sword, he also simultaneously activated all five Divine Incantations.

The divine light of the Fiery Blaze and the divine weapon of the White Tiger were imbued into the Heavenly Mandate Sword, while the three divine incantations of the Qilin Divine Hero, the Xuanwu Heavenly Gang, and the Azure Dragon Divine Qi were imbued into the Yang God.

The Qilin Divine Essence enhances his analytical abilities, the Xuanwu Divine Qi makes his Yang God exceptionally strong and stable, and the Azure Dragon Divine Qi empowers his Yang God with vitality.

Through the blessing of the divine incantation, Gao Wu's spirit, physique, strength, agility, and innate talent all reached forty-five points.

Especially on a spiritual level, it was equivalent to his spiritual power increasing sevenfold.

Although Dao Ancestor Qingguang claimed to be a god, his spiritual power did not reach 45 points.

Qingguang Daozu was truly astonished. He knew that Gao Wu's spirit must be very special, but he did not expect it to be this special.

In particular, Gao Wu's spiritual power was even stronger than his, which was simply unbelievable.

How can a mortal surpass the limitations of gods and possess such powerful spiritual strength and such a strong positive soul?
As a deity, Dao Ancestor Qingguang could sense future changes in fortune and misfortune. He entered the high-level martial arts spiritual world with peace of mind, even though he did not feel any danger.

Only at this moment did Dao Ancestor Qingguang realize that the situation was dire and sense a strong danger.

Qingguang Daozu wanted to trigger spatial changes to escape the spiritual world of high martial arts, but the spiritual world had already been locked by the powerful Yang God.

All supernatural powers and transformations in this world are based on spiritual power.

Yang Shen was able to overpower Qing Guang Dao Zu in terms of spiritual power, and Gao Wu had also comprehended the Xuanlong Hammer. At this moment, his spiritual power was like an invisible giant hammer, covering all directions and suppressing Qing Guang Dao Zu firmly in place.

The Martial Saint's powerful foundation, combined with the supreme divine power of the Five Divine Incantations and the might of the Yang God, gave the demon god of this dimensional universe a great surprise at this moment.

With his spatial abilities suppressed, Qingguang Daozu was unable to summon his divine armor and could only rely on his spiritual energy to withstand the Heavenly Fate Sword.

He let out a fierce roar at the level of his soul, causing the violent spiritual magnetic field to oscillate and fluctuate billions of times.

In his extreme state, Dao Ancestor Qingguang could no longer maintain his positive energy form. His azure body turned as black as ink, and his originally gaunt face became abnormally distorted and terrifying, like a vengeful ghost.

Gao Wu knew that this was the true face of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, or rather, the essence of his life and spirit.

The demon god, unleashing his full power, released terrifying might through sheer mental energy.

What appears to be a simple change releases energy in the most direct and brutal way.

Having torn off the restrictions on positive energy, the spiritual power of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, who had fully unleashed his true nature, surged dozens of times, and in turn completely suppressed the Yang God.

In this state, Dao Ancestor Qingguang's consciousness was completely controlled by negative emotions, and he lost his rationality and composure.

He unleashed his mental power without any skill, simply relying on his overwhelming mental strength to continuously roar wildly.

The Heavenly Fate Sword, thrusting straight forward, was affected by the mental shockwave. The blade vibrated continuously, and the Divine Light of the Blazing Fire that was imbued with it burst into flames that shot outwards during the tremors.

Moreover, the spatial restrictions transformed by the Xuanlong Hammer were constantly vibrating under the intense mental impact.

The invisible spatial restrictions were covered with hundreds of continuous and crisscrossing cracks, and it looked like they were about to completely collapse under the mental impact.

Gao Wu knew that if this continued, not only would he fail to trap Qingguang Daozu, but he would also be killed by the opponent.

Killing a god carries the enormous risk of being killed by the god in return.

Gao Wu was unsure whether he could return to his original body after his Yang Spirit was destroyed, so he had to fight to the death and could not afford to have any wishful thinking or retreat.

The Qilin Divine Heroic Mantra quickly analyzed the frequency changes of the mental impact, and Gao Wu activated the Heavenly Fate Sword through the Yang God, vibrating in sync with it.

There is a significant difference between passive resonance and active resonance.

The Heavenly Mandate Sword emitted a long, resonant sword cry, its sound high and powerful, like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens.

The sword's cry and the fierce roar of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor were in sync, but the sword was half a beat faster. The two combined and also had a certain impact on the Azure Light Dao Ancestor.

Entering a berserk state, the Azure Light Dao Ancestor did not analyze the changes. He only felt that his mental impact was being hindered, so he once again unleashed his power and emitted an even sharper howl.

In the brief moment of change in the spiritual power of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, the Heavenly Fate Sword, vibrating and chanting, twisted and turned, rising against the tide of the spiritual impact.

This sword strike is like a dragon playing in the water, its winding and flowing movements possessing a dynamic and mysterious quality that transcends all obstacles.

The gleaming crimson sword blade pierced directly into the dark energy body of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor.

Gao Wu's sword strike was not a random thrust, but a precise lock onto the spiritual core of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor. The White Tiger Divine Weapon Incantation imbued on the Heavenly Fate Sword already possessed a murderous aura capable of annihilating everything, and when combined with the Yinglong Slash unleashed by Gao Wu, it possessed an even more ferocious killing intent capable of annihilating all living beings.

Although the Azure Light Dao Ancestor is a negative spiritual being, he is still a living being.

The fragile spiritual center was almost nothingness, yet it was not nothingness after all, as the endless killing intent of the Heavenly Fate Sword directly shattered the structure of the spiritual center.

As a demon god who has lived for countless millennia, the Azure Light Dao Ancestor possesses immense spiritual power. Even though he was cleaved by the Heavenly Fate Sword, he was not killed.

In an instant, the shattered spiritual core reformed. The divine light of the Heavenly Destiny Sword erupted with a deafening roar.

The sixteen layers of Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra erupted simultaneously, burning and destroying the spiritual core of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor from within.

The Azure Light Dao Ancestor let out a painful scream, but he could not suppress the Divine Light of the Departing Fire, which was specifically designed to counter all souls.

In less than three seconds, the dark body of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor was decomposed into thousands of wisps of black smoke in the crimson flames and scattered everywhere.

Yang Shen clenched his left fist and unleashed the Xuanlong Hammer once more, using spatial restrictions to gather the scattered black smoke into a ball, preventing even a trace of it from escaping.

The black smoke instantly condensed into the shape of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor. Gao Wu slashed again with the Heavenly Fate Sword in his hand, and the Divine Light of the Blazing Fire erupted once more, causing the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, which had just taken shape, to dissipate again...

This process was repeated nine times. The condensed black smoke became thinner and thinner. In the last time, the black smoke completely dissipated and condensed into a grayish-white crystal. The crystal contained incomparably powerful and pure energy, but it had no trace of life.

As the Azure Light Dao Ancestor completely vanished and perished, a violent tremor resounded from the depths of the abyss, and extremely powerful spiritual forces were surging outwards...

Fortunately, Despair Ridge was exceptionally vast, and the gray mist could absorb spiritual energy. Those powerful spiritual forces failed to detect anything amiss.

Gao Wu concealed his aura, daring not to make any unusual movements. Only when the powerful spiritual forces that had swept across the abyss gradually disappeared did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing the surge of merit appearing on the Book of Boundless Merit, Gao Wu became excited again.

This battle, though seemingly easy, was actually the result of his full power of divine incantations, martial arts, and Yang God, combined with the Heavenly Fate Sword's ability to attack the soul, which enabled him to slay the Azure Light Dao Ancestor.

It was only because the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse reached the Primordial Realm that it continuously strengthened his life force, allowing him to unleash the divine curse time and time again, eventually wearing down the Azure Light Dao Ancestor to death.

The crystals left behind by Dao Ancestor Qingguang are real matter, while the spiritual world of high martial arts is both real and illusory, and is not suitable for storing such external objects.

Gao Wu held the grayish-white crystal in his hand. It was only the size of a peanut, with millions of tiny facets on the outside and hundreds of millions of layers in its internal structure.

Although the crystals are small, they store an exceptionally large amount of energy due to their complex internal structure.

After all, it was formed from the condensed spiritual essence of a demon god's destruction, and also from the essence transformed from the endless energy accumulated during his long life.

Through the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, Gao Wu could sense the preciousness of this crystal, as well as the immense danger it contained.

If things go wrong, the Azure Light Dao Ancestor might be able to revive from the crystal.

However, since the crystals are so precious, they can't just be thrown away. The best way is to refine them using the Divine Light of Departing Fire.

Gao Wu tried to activate the Divine Light of Departing Fire, but the gray-white crystals showed no reaction.

The crystallization, which embodies all the divinity and energy of the Azure Light Dao Ancestor, will obviously not be easily refined by the Divine Light of Departing Fire.

At this moment, Gao Wu noticed that the total amount of merit had exceeded one trillion.

The Qingguang Dao Ancestor, who was slain, provided him with over 700 billion merits, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Although the Qingguang Dao Ancestor is a demon god, he does not openly preach or perform blood sacrifices.

On the contrary, he also needs to do everything he can to maintain order and stability in his jurisdiction, and to draw positive spiritual energy from it.

Even so, he still possesses over 700 billion merits. Perhaps this is because he himself is a negative spiritual being…

Gao Wu hadn't originally intended to kill the god, after all, the demon god was powerful and the risk was too great. But since the Azure Light Dao Ancestor had delivered himself to his doorstep, he had no choice but to kill him.

Such a huge gain also made Gao Wu somewhat excited.

The foundation of this universe is spiritual power. He can no longer rely on Qin's imperial decree, so he should improve the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra as soon as possible.

The temporary increase in spiritual power is only a numerical improvement and does not possess the supernatural abilities of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

The difference between the two is huge.

Killing the Azure Light Dao Ancestor has also attracted the attention of many demon gods. His sudden rise to power, coupled with his origins in Qingcheng, means that any demon god with a modicum of sense will notice him. He must increase his power as quickly as possible.

Upgrading the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra also allows you to simultaneously refine this divine crystal.

Gao Wu hesitated for a moment. What was the purpose of this divine crystal?
He wanted to choose the Heavenly Sword, based on a premonition from the Qilin Divine Hero Curse, but he felt it wasn't a good choice.

Besides these, he only has Longyuan and Wuji Divine Armor as options.

Although Long Yuan possessed a top-tier Master Star Armor, it couldn't compare to the Limitless Divine Armor. His intuition told him that integrating the Divine Crystal into the Limitless Divine Armor was the best option.

It would be a huge loss if he couldn't bring back such a powerful divine armor... (End of Chapter)
