Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

On the Book of Immeasurable Merit, the numbers of merits surged forth like a tidal wave, piling up layer upon layer of merits to fill the pages...

Gao Wu had mixed feelings. He knew that these merits were earned at the cost of the lives of Federation people.

He quickly suppressed these complex emotions. What had already happened could only be done to clean up the mess and prevent the same tragedy from happening to the alliance.

Having dealt with the queen beetle, we've eliminated a huge threat. These insects are really troublesome; they'll keep multiplying as long as there's food.

As more and more interdimensional portals are opened, the level of source energy in the real world is also increasing.

While ordinary people can benefit from the source energy, beings from other worlds can adapt to the real world better.

In the short term, this is a catastrophe capable of destroying humanity.

The long-term situation is hard to predict.

If humanity can withstand the test, perhaps in the future we can reach the technological level of the StarCraft universe.

The turmoil deep within the void also brought Gao Wu back to his senses. Even through layers of space, he could sense that the newcomer was the White Eagle King.

He was extremely familiar with the aura of the White Eagle King, having previously slain its avatar in the Eternal City.

Now that his strength has greatly increased in all aspects, he recognized the aura of the White Eagle King from afar.

Clearly, his killing of the Black Armored Queen had alarmed this demon god.

Or perhaps the White Eagle King had been waiting for him all along, and upon seeing him, he was eager to descend from another world to this one.

The spatial restrictions of the Eternal City were broken, creating a huge gap connecting the other world to the real world.

In this state, the Eternal City is not as stable as it used to be.

It will still take the White Eagle King a little while to cross the space and enter.

Gao Wu also knew that it was because his mental strength had increased sevenfold that he was able to sense the slight tremors in the space and the aura of the White Eagle King.

Last time, he was able to kill the White Eagle King's projection only because Old Qin helped him lock down the Eternal City space and suppress the White Eagle King's ability to control space.

Now that he has advanced to level ten, he has also developed his own understanding of space. It will be much more difficult for the White Eagle King to manipulate space in front of him.

Having learned from the previous lesson, the White Eagle King's clone projection this time will undoubtedly be more powerful, perhaps reaching level ten, or even higher.

The Eternal City, now in ruins, can only hold a maximum of level nine source energy. Due to the spatial gap, the source energy here is also extremely chaotic.

For powerful humans, this environment is extremely unfriendly. On the contrary, alien beasts, accustomed to the complex energy environment, can better unleash their power here.

Gao Wu realized that the White Eagle King was about to descend across space, and immediately conducted a comprehensive analysis and calculation of all aspects of the battlefield.

Overall, with his current strength, he is capable of fighting the White Eagle King and has a good chance of killing the opponent's clone projection.

However, the White Eagle King is, after all, a powerful demon god. Having learned his lesson once, he will surely be well-prepared this time.

Looking at the 1.3 trillion merits accumulated in the Book of Immeasurable Merit, Gao Wu gave up the idea of ​​fighting.

If he upgrades the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra, his Taiyi Battle Body will reach the Hunyuan Realm, making him many times stronger than he is now.

There's no need to fight the White Eagle King now.

Upon realizing this, Gao Wu immediately made a decision. He took Song Mingyue's hand and stepped forward, instantly returning to the living room of the Zhongjing Villa.

Chao Fengying and Yan Ningning, who were watching the projected screen in the living room, were both startled.

From their perspective, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue seemed to have stepped right out of the screen.

The difference was that Yan Ningning's face was as pale as paper, and her hands and feet were trembling, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Chao Fengying was, after all, a seventh-level Martial King. Although her heart tightened, she was still able to manage her expression. However, she could not hide the fear in her bright eyes.

Chao Fengying quickly realized, "Senior brother, Senior sister Mingyue, you're back!"

Gao Wu smiled at Chao Fengying: "Look how scared you are, your face is all pale. You and Ningning are both as brave as pigeon eggs..."

"No way..." Chao Fengying was a little embarrassed. She was indeed startled, but it wasn't as exaggerated as her senior brother had described.

Moreover, the comparison to Ningning to having a "pigeon egg" (a very large, unrealistic financial figure) really made her a little angry. She was just scared; she couldn't possibly be as bold as Ningning...

Song Mingyue gently held Yan Ningning's small hand, then stroked her face and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a change in your spatial ability. You'll be able to do it too in the future..."

Yan Ningning had recovered by now, and she said timidly, "Uncle-Master, Master."

Gao Wu laughed heartily and patted Yan Ningning's forehead: "Look how scared my little apprentice is, her soul has flown away. Pat her fur, she won't be scared!"

Just as Chao Fengying was about to speak, she suddenly saw a blurry white figure appear on the curtain. The figure's appearance was unclear, but it was surrounded by rings of silver light, exuding an eerie yet powerful aura.

She glanced at it and her heart sank. Startled, she asked, "Eh, Senior Brother, what is this?"

Gao Wu turned around, glanced at the curtain, and casually said, "White Eagle King's clone, ignore him. He doesn't dare to enter the real world."

The White Eagle King's power is too great; even entering the secret realm will result in strong suppression.

For the White Eagle King, the real world was like a tiger trapped in a quagmire—he wouldn't die, but it was incredibly unbearable. Encountering even a level seven expert could mean certain death.

The White Eagle King, a demon god of such intelligence, would not be swayed by trivial emotions. This is the fundamental difference between him and the demon gods of the Star Armor Universe.

From this perspective, the White Eagle King and other demon gods are of a higher rank than the Star Armor Universe demon gods.

Yan Ningning wanted to look up curiously, but Song Mingyue blocked her eyes, saying, "Don't be so curious."

The image of the demon captured by satellite is so distorted that it cannot be seen in its original form.

Even so, the powerful energy released by the demon god will also form a strong mental magnetic field, and people with keen senses are likely to be contaminated by the mental magnetic field.

This is similar to how a child seeing a particularly unusual scene can leave an invisible mark on their mind, which can then influence them for the rest of their life.

A glance at a powerful demon god like the White Eagle King is meaningless, but it could very well leave a mental scar, so there's no need to bother.

At the same time, the experts watching the satellite images also saw the White Eagle King.

The more distorted the image became, the more everyone realized the formidable nature of the newcomer. They could also guess that the newcomer was likely a projection of the White Eagle King.

The crowd was even more horrified. Believers could gain divine power by pleasing the demon god through sacrifices. However, the demon god almost never manifested a physical form.

Especially the White Eagle King, a top-tier demon god, actually condensed a projection and personally entered the ruins of the Eternal City.

If Gao Wu had lingered for even a second longer, he would have been caught red-handed by the White Eagle King's projection.

Judging from this, it's almost certain that the White Eagle King is after Gao Wu.

Hai Wuji, inside Jinhua City, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly felt a chill. His precious disciple had almost... almost...

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. When mortals encounter demons, there is only death, and no other outcome!

Qin Liuhe in Zhongjing turned off the screen. The White Eagle King had indeed arrived. The Demon God really held a grudge.

Of course, Gao Wu was also too much of a threat. Fortunately, Gao Wu knew when to advance and retreat, otherwise things would have been very difficult to end today.

For the level seven experts from all sides of the alliance, tonight was an eye-opening experience.

A powerful level nine beast, which Gao Wu could kill with a wave of his hand. Such divine power is probably no less than that of Martial Emperor Qin Liuhe, and may even be three points stronger!

Last year, Gao Wu was awarded the Golden Dragon Medal, publicly acknowledging his status as a level seven powerhouse.

How long has it been? He's already at level nine in martial arts?!
Song Xuetao from Beizhou was naturally happy for Gao Wu's achievements, and the entire Song family was also very excited and delighted.

After all, Gao Wu and the Song family are too closely related; they can almost be considered as one entity.

With Gao Wu becoming the top player in the alliance, even without special promotion, the Song family's status will rise accordingly.

As for the seventh-level Martial Kings of various states such as Dongzhou and Nanzhou, their feelings were more complicated.

When they were at the seventh level of high martial arts, they forcefully killed the Fire King Qu Hanshan, using domineering and ruthless methods. If they were to advance to the ninth level, they would have even less right to speak in front of them.

However, the alliance is currently in a critical situation and desperately needs a strong leader. Gao Wu becoming a level nine replacement for Martial Emperor Qin Liuhe is a great thing; he can fight against alien beasts and demons externally, and unite the people internally…

Gao Wu, who was in the villa, was in a good mood and even took Chao Fengying and Yan Ningning out for a late-night snack.

It's cold in Zhongjing in March, but fortunately, Zhongjing is a bustling city, and you can find a place to eat whatever you want.

This was the first time Yan Ningning had ever gone out for a late-night snack, and she felt quite excited.

After dinner, Yan Ningning was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She talked to Chao Fengying for a long time until dawn before finally falling asleep...

Chao Fengying noticed that Gao Wu and Song Mingyue went into a room. She was actually a little curious: had her senior brother and senior sister Mingyue already slept together?

But no matter how curious she was, she didn't dare to eavesdrop on her senior brothers and sisters. She could only vaguely sense that the source energy in her senior brother's bedroom was flowing and changing in an orderly manner, as if the two of them had been cultivating all night.

She was secretly amazed; no wonder her senior brothers and sisters had progressed so quickly—their diligence was something she couldn't match…

In reality, Chao Fengying was overthinking things. Gao Wu was simply upgrading the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra through merit points, and he was taking Song Mingyue with him.

For Song Mingyue, the Xuanwu Divine Qi Incantation perfectly matched her cultivation of the Xuanming Divine Qi, and she could gain the greatest benefit from each upgrade of this divine incantation.

Song Mingyue advanced to level nine, and the profound spiritual energy she gained from the Xuanwu Divine Qi Curse allowed her to see even higher levels of change in Xuanming.

Through resonance with Gao Wu, Song Mingyue obtained wisps of innate spiritual energy from the divine incantation, which greatly enhanced her physical and mental abilities.

She quickly advanced to level nine, borrowing too much power from Gao Wu and fusing with the power of the Dragon Crystal, so her foundation was originally very weak.

After this upgrade and resonance of the Xuanwu Divine Mantra, her inner and outer self underwent a profound and weighty transformation, strengthening her foundation by more than tenfold.

After this upgrade, she truly reached the ninth level in terms of physical form, spiritual energy, and martial arts, becoming the undisputed second Martial Emperor.

Unlike previous upgrades, Gao Wu has been in a deep sleep this time, his body and spirit almost completely shut down.

Song Mingyue could only sense that Gao Wu was undergoing a crucial transformation, but she didn't know how long this process would take... (End of Chapter)
