Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

The Qilin King's divine soul vanished, and the trembling metal core returned to calm.

Gao Wu landed gracefully on the chest of the Qilin King. Although the opponent was dead, his physical strength had not been reduced at all.

Looking at the Wuji Divine Armor again, the twin swords already had deep nicks, and the surface of the armor was covered with large areas of damage from friction.

The Wuji Divine Armor and the Qilin King were locked in a fierce battle. The armor was not as strong as the Qilin King's, so it looked rather disheveled.

The serene Qilin King was radiating a dark golden light, seemingly unharmed.

Gao Wu also had to admire the Qilin King's smelting skills, which were even better than those of the Heavenly Court. He was truly a specialist!

He tried to cut it with the Heavenly Fate Sword, and without the protective source force field activated by the Qilin King, he was able to barely cut it open.

However, even with the Heavenly Fate Sword piercing through such a massive mechanical body, it still couldn't reach the metal core.

None of the sword qi changes could really harm the Qilin King.

Fortunately, his martial arts had reached the twelfth level, so he could not defeat the Qilin King in terms of physical form, but he could destroy the opponent's soul with his sword intent.

The Qilin King was ultimately not high enough in rank. His strategy of using substance to overcome emptiness was correct, but the substance he used was only on one level.

Like the Maginot Line, it was built so solidly that the enemy could simply bypass it.

Gao Wu thought that the Qilin King and the White Crow King could team up and perhaps fight him.

However, the two demon gods have different origins of power, and if they come together, they will inevitably kill each other, and there is absolutely no possibility of them uniting and cooperating.

Compared to the Qilin King's mechanical body, the enormous furnace underground was the real treasure.

If even the Qilin King could control it, Gao Wu figured this thing shouldn't be too difficult to control.

The problem is that he can't stay at the furnace for a long time like the Qilin King, working there as a smelter.

The lump of metal rolling in the center of the furnace was clearly not hot enough. The furnace could only operate by gathering energy from this world; it obviously wouldn't work in another location.

Although Gao Wu's innate talent had reached 50 points, he couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being.

Fortunately, the Qilin King provided him with seven trillion merits. This guy who liked smelting was also very capable of causing trouble and had caused a lot of trouble for the human race.

In this way, upgrading the divine spell is sufficient.

Gao Wu wasn't in a hurry to upgrade. Last time he upgraded the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, he didn't take Xiao Song with him, which caused her to fall behind a lot.

This time, he wasn't in a hurry. He left the Limitless Divine Armor here as a location coordinate and returned to the Aurora Legion headquarters first.

Song Mingyue was naturally overjoyed to see Gao Wu return.

After all, it was about going to the realm of gods to slay them, and even if she succeeded once, she couldn't help but worry.

The myriad realms are too vast; even the strongest martial artist cannot be invincible. The risk of entering a divine realm to slay a god is simply too great…

Gao Wu hugged and kissed Xiao Song a few times, then got down to business.

Although the advancement of the Divine Curse can be interrupted midway without affecting him, it is very disadvantageous for Xiao Song.

While there's still time, we should upgrade as soon as possible.

This time, he chose to upgrade the White Tiger Divine Weapon Spell. Once this spell reaches the Limitless Realm, it should be able to break through the Qilin King's armor and avoid such an embarrassing situation again.

The sharpness and killing intent of the White Tiger Divine Weapon Curse were also of great help to his martial arts.

Song Mingyue was already very familiar with the process, so she immediately sat down on the bedside to keep Gao Wu company.

In a daze, Song Mingyue saw a white tiger flying around, with billions of platinum stars scattered in all directions, magnificent and vast like an endless universe.

Song Mingyue comprehended the Xuanming Slash by drawing inspiration from her great-grandfather Song Xuetao's swordsmanship, aiming to sever all sword intent.

The Platinum Star is extremely sharp and cold, and it has many similarities with her understanding of the Xuanming Slash, as well as with the changes in her fundamental techniques.

Through her resonance with Gao Wu, Song Mingyue directly saw the eleventh level of martial arts realm, and from this she deduced various martial arts methods.

Song Mingyue resonated with the experience for three days before snapping out of her state of enlightenment.

Through resonance, she not only gained insights but also received the tangible killing intent of the White Tiger, which immediately enhanced her Xuanming Slash.

It's as if she's polished her Xuanming Slash to a sharp edge, increasing its lethality many times over.

More importantly, this resonance opened the path for her to advance to level eleven.

Gao Wu remained asleep for ten days before finally waking up.

The White Tiger Divine Weapon Incantation of the Limitless Realm also altered his physical and spiritual structure. Now, only the Black Tortoise Divine Qi Incantation remains for his Taiyi Battle Body to reach the Limitless Realm.

At that time, he truly stood at the peak of level twelve.

A level eleven demon god like the Qilin King could be crushed with a flick of the wrist.

According to the Book of Immeasurable Merit, his agility is 50 points.

The White Tiger Divine Weapon Curse also gave rise to a supernatural power: annihilation. All living beings will be annihilated by the Divine Weapon Curse.

It's similar to his Yinglong Slash, only more powerful.

The extermination of the White Tiger Divine Weapon Curse is not simply the annihilation of all living beings, but rather the cosmic cycle of life and death leading to the Dao.

Every living being is destined to die. The Divine Weapon Spell is like executing the natural order of the universe, causing living beings to enter into death.

The killing intent of Yinglong Slash is the condensed killing intent of high martial arts, while the extermination of Baihu Divine Weapon Curse is the enforcement of the law on behalf of Heaven, and its execution is the ultimate way of the universe and spacetime.

Gao Wu has raised the White Tiger Divine Weapon Spell to the Limitless Realm, making it easy for him to kill a level 12 demon god.

Of course, just as he can comprehend the ultimate principles of the universe, so can other level-twelve life forms. Although the Extinction Realm is powerful, there are laws of the same level that can counter it.

Gao Wu was very satisfied with the upgraded White Tiger Divine Weapon Spell after reviewing the results.

With a thought, he cleaved through space and returned to the Qilin King's divine kingdom.

Even without the Qilin King's divine power, the Earth Fire Furnace continues to operate on its own. However, it no longer possesses the intense, all-consuming power it once had.

The difference between having divine power and not having divine power is still significant.

Gao Wu, wielding the Limitless Divine Armor, drew his sword and slashed through the Qilin King's thick armor, cleaving the metal core protecting his soul in two.

Inside was a crimson divine crystal, shimmering with a magnificent luster.

Gao Wu examined it and found that although the level eleven divine crystal had strong energy, its level was low, making it almost useless to him.

Its only use is to power the Earth Fire Furnace, since the Qilin King's divine power is compatible with this powerful divine object.

Otherwise, even with the Qilin King's abilities, it would be difficult to control the Earth Fire Furnace.

Gao Wu threw the Qilin King Divine Crystal into the Earth Fire Furnace, along with his mechanical metal body and giant sword.

He simultaneously powered up the Earth Fire Furnace and unleashed the full power of the Divine Light of Departing Fire.

The energy of the divine crystal was released by the divine light of the fire, causing the temperature of the earth fire furnace to rise suddenly to a certain limit.

The Qilin King's enormous body rapidly melted away, and in less than an hour, only a ball of dark golden divine light weighing several thousand kilograms remained.

Gao Wu knew that this was a furnace that refined all impurities, leaving behind the most powerful metallic substances.

The reason why the Wuji Divine Armor could not break through the Qilin King was because of this dark golden divine light.

There's just too little of it; not enough to reforge the Limitless Divine Armor. It's barely sufficient as a coating, though.

After considering it for a while, Gao Wu decided to abandon the plan.

He placed the Destiny Sword into the furnace, where it was reforged by the divine light of the fire and the earth fire, and the dark golden divine light was integrated into the Destiny Sword.

The Crimson Sky Sword deep within the Heavenly Destiny Sword was activated by the high temperature, and its crimson essence rapidly released endless high temperatures outward.

At this moment, Gao Wu suddenly realized that he had underestimated the Crimson Sky Sword; its primordial energy was terrifyingly powerful.

Only when stimulated by both the Earth Fire Furnace and the Divine Light of Departing Fire can the primordial energy be truly released.

Such violent energy distorted the void of the divine realm, and even turned the furnace flames a pure blue...

Almost no material can withstand such high temperatures; even a mental energy field would be easily destroyed by such terrifying heat.

When energy reaches this level, it can transcend various energy levels.

However, such terrifying high temperatures cannot be sustained for long. If the frenzied release of power from the Crimson Sky Sword cannot be restrained by a stable force, it will soon burn completely.

Gao Wu used the Nine Dragons Limitless Dao to condense sword intent as the core, the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra as the inner core, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra as the handle, the White Tiger Divine Weapon Mantra as the blade, the Black Tortoise Divine Weapon Mantra as the body, and the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra to integrate the divine mantras and martial arts divine intent, and re-condense them into the Heavenly Mandate Sword.

The Heavenly Mandate Sword is important because it is a crucial key to unlocking the divine realm of the Epang Palace.

At this level, the characteristics of the Destiny Sword itself become irrelevant.

Gao Wu reforged the Destiny Sword through martial arts and divine incantations, bringing together all his wisdom and power.

The only drawback is that the level of the Xuanwu Divine Qi Incantation is not high enough, making the framework of this reforged Destiny Sword unstable.

Fortunately, there is a special metal refined by the Qilin King, which is almost indestructible.

Using this metal as a blade compensates for the deficiencies of the Xuanwu Divine Qi Spell.

With this, the Crimson Sky Sword disappeared completely, and the new Heavenly Mandate Sword was forged.

The Azure Heavenly Fate Sword is as clear and bright as water, as warm and smooth as jade, and as vast and boundless as the sky.

The Heavenly Destiny Sword's appearance remains almost unchanged, but its energy level has reached a certain limit.

Gao Wu wielded the Destiny Sword and slashed casually, leaving a trail of emerald light in the air as the azure blade swirled.

When Gao Wu sheathed his sword, the emerald sword mark lingered for a long time.

In fact, it was the divine realm space that was cleaved, leaving a permanent crack.

Gao Wu tried it briefly and already knew how terrifying the new Destiny Sword was.

This sword can release a temperature of one billion degrees Celsius in an instant, which is transformed into the sharpness of the blade under the control of sword intent.

Such powerful energy can truly transcend various levels, including matter, energy, and spirit.

Only when that dark golden divine light truly merged with the Crimson Sky Sword could it withstand such extreme high temperatures without being vaporized or deformed.

It's hard to say about a level 13 Genshin Impact, but Gao Wu is certain that no level 12 life form can withstand a single strike from the Destiny Sword.

Of course, the greater the power, the more energy it consumes.

Even with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra's blessing, the Heavenly Fate Sword is so powerful that he can only wield it at full power for a few dozen seconds at most.

When an intelligent life reaches this level of energy, if he misses his target with a single sword strike, the opponent will either be able to think of a way to counter it or turn around and run for their life.

Therefore, he is unlikely to have a second chance to strike in actual combat.

That's right. With the Sword of Destiny in hand, he is the master of all life below level thirteen. He is the true Destiny!
Upon realizing this, Gao Wu burst into laughter: "Tremble, demons! Your most stern father, the one who controls life and death, has arrived!"

Within the Qilin King's crumbling divine kingdom, the Earth Fire Furnace roared with flames, seemingly responding to Gao Wu's arrogant and boastful declaration... (End of Chapter)
