Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 100 Controlling the Sword with Divine Power
Inside a narrow mountain cave, Li Tiejun and Zhang Jun were kneeling before a rough altar, silently reciting incantations.

The altar was made of piled stones, and on it sat a white bead the size of a walnut. In the dim light, the bead emitted a sharp, metallic luster, and it pulsed as if it were alive, which was very eerie.

Li Tiejun and Zhang Jun recited the incantation twice, and seeing that the bead seemed to be coming back to life, they hurriedly left the cave.

At this moment, a large number of animal carcasses lay at the entrance of the cave, ranging from small mountain rats, snakes, and birds to large snow wolves, wild boars, black bears, and even a very fierce-looking tiger, as well as a strong snow wolf that was even bigger than the tiger.

The animal carcasses were all facing the cave entrance, a dense mass of corpses, creating an indescribable sense of horror and eeriness.

Li Tiejun glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away. He said to Zhang Jun with some concern, "With so many wild animals dead, won't we be discovered?"

"The energy fluctuations in this secret realm are intense at night, which greatly interferes with electromagnetic signals. Drones cannot fly at night and will not be able to detect it."

Zhang Jun was quite familiar with the situation in the secret realm. He said in a low voice, "We should be careful of the Phantom Slayer. Once it is activated, it will have the strength of a martial arts master. If the Divine Lord's Talisman cannot conceal our aura, we will be in danger."

"Brother Zhang, shall we go further away?" Li Tiejun was also a little scared. He believed in the demon god not to die, but to live a better life.

It's okay to do bad things, but it's really stupid to ruin yourself.

"Don't move. The Phantom Slayer uses the Netherworld Golden Pearl as a vessel, which will transform it into an extremely terrifying killing machine."

"It can switch freely between reality and illusion, and its speed is as fast as lightning. It will only dissipate when divine power is dissipated. At the speed of the Phantom Slayer, it can kill everyone in the secret realm before dawn... We can't outrun it."

Zhang Jun, with a mixture of awe and anticipation, said, "As long as we eliminate all the young elites of the Northern Continent, the High Priest said he will surely pray to the God to bestow divine power. At that time, it will not be difficult for us to advance to the Martial Master level!"

Such actions are of course extremely dangerous, but the high risk comes with a high reward, and that's all that matters.

Zhang Jun was willing to work hard because he believed that hard work would bring opportunities for advancement. As for how many people might die for it, he was willing to risk his life for it, so he didn't care about such things.

While the two were talking, they were completely unaware that a Yin spirit composed of crimson flames was standing right next to them.

Gao Wu, who was a kilometer away, heard everything clearly through the Yin Spirit, and he was also greatly shocked.

The two demon god followers not only infiltrated the secret realm, but also set up a sacrificial ritual. What kind of Phantom Slayer is that? It sounds very powerful!

"It's probably too late to call for help now..."

Gao Wu used his Yin Spirit to observe the bead and sensed that the boiling spiritual power inside was gradually becoming stable and orderly.

It's quite obvious that once this thing is completely stable, the so-called Phantom Slayer will descend.

Even if he didn't say it was for others, he couldn't escape in the secret realm.

Looking at the other two, one had a ball of source energy light in his dantian, and the other had source energy light in both his chest and dantian.

“One junior warrior, one intermediate warrior.”

Gao Wu could easily observe the source energy reactions within a martial artist's body through his Yin God, and immediately made a judgment on the strength of the two demon god followers.

"capable!"

Gao Wu withdrew his Yin Spirit, silently recited the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, and then activated his Yin Spirit again. This time, the Yin Spirit carried the Heavenly Fate Sword.

The two sides were nearly a kilometer apart, separated by a large area of ​​bushes and trees, and the terrain was uneven, so there was no way the two warriors could find Gao Wu's whereabouts.

The Yin spirit could fly in the sky, carrying the Heavenly Fate Sword silently through the bushes and forests, and soon arrived behind the two warriors.

The two warriors could not see the Yin God, but they could see the Heavenly Mandate Sword.

When they were more than 30 meters away, Gao Wu could see through his Yin Spirit that the intermediate-level warrior's two source energy acupoints were shining brightly, indicating that he had already developed some kind of connection with the warrior.

Samurai are naturally perceptive, and in such a dangerous environment, both samurai maintained the highest level of vigilance.

Knowing that a sneak attack was impossible, Gao Wu simply activated his Yin Spirit and attacked directly.

In the darkness, the Heavenly Fate Sword was silently drawn from its sheath, and the Yin God, wielding the sword, instantly accelerated to a speed of 100 meters per second.

In the source energy environment of the secret realm, the speed of the Yin Spirit also increases, which further enhances the power of sword control.

The Yin God used his sword to target the middle position between the two warriors. The two warriors immediately separated to the left and right when they realized something was wrong, just as Gao Wu had predicted.

The intermediate-level warrior's two source points surged with powerful source energy and spiritual light, and he instantly drew his sword and assumed a defensive stance.

Making the correct reaction within 0.4 seconds, the intermediate-level warrior's skill impressed even the advanced-level warriors.

The other novice warrior was far inferior. He instinctively dodged and gripped his sword upon hearing the sword's cry, but before he could even draw it halfway, Yin Shen had already arrived, wielding the Heavenly Mandate Sword.

Li Tiejun saw a cold light streak through the air, but saw no one. He was terrified. His dantian acupoints suddenly erupted under the influence of his fear, and his source energy surged and spread throughout his body, forming a source energy field on his body surface.

Under the stimulation of the source energy, his body's strength, agility, and coordination increased simultaneously, and the divine speed technique blessed by the God Lord was also activated at the same time.

The sudden increase in speed prompted Li Tiejun to abruptly draw his sword.

In the critical moment, Li Tiejun had no time to think and slashed fiercely at the incoming blade with his sword.

The Yin Spirit refined the Heavenly Fate Sword, truly achieving a state of oneness with the divine sword. Although Gao Wu's own swordsmanship was not at a high level, he was able to wield the sword with extraordinary ease using the Yin Spirit.

The Heavenly Destiny Sword deftly and naturally evaded the opponent's fierce slash, its four-foot blade sweeping away the opponent's attack, causing the source energy field on Li Tiejun's body to sink deeper inward.

The Heavenly Destiny Sword is imbued with the source power of the Yin God, making it no weaker than Li Tiejun's source power. Even more terrifying is the Heavenly Destiny Sword's extraordinary speed.

Li Tiejun's source force field lasted for less than 0.1 seconds before silently shattering under the Heavenly Fate Sword. The chillingly sharp blade swept across, and a bloody line instantly appeared on Li Tiejun's neck, running from the inside out...

Having dealt with the novice warrior, Yin Shen wielded the Heavenly Fate Sword and thrust it straight at another intermediate warrior. Zhang Jun saw it very clearly: Li Tiejun was beheaded in a single exchange with a four-foot-long sword, his death certain.

The entire battle lasted less than half a second; in the blink of an eye, Li Tiejun was dead.

The key point is that he didn't see anyone wielding the sword; it was as if an invisible person had killed Li Tiejun with a long sword.

Moreover, this longsword is imbued with source energy, which can easily shatter Li Tiejun's source energy field.

"A Nian Master?!"

Zhang Jun's first thought was that a mind master was remotely controlling the sword, but where did this mind master come from?

Before Zhang Jun could figure it out, he saw a flash of cold light shooting towards him. He knew it was a sword thrusting straight at him; he could only see a glint of light at the tip of the sword, not the blade, which was why this strange phenomenon occurred.

Zhang Jun frantically activated two acupoints, causing his body to radiate a sudden burst of source energy. A wisp of divine power, blessed by the Divine Lord, was also activated simultaneously.

With the support of source power and divine power, Zhang Jun instantly entered his most extreme peak state, and his attack speed at least doubled. His long sword slashed and swept, while the Heavenly Fate Sword blocked the attack with a series of rapid thrusts.

The clash of the two swords sparked with flashes of electricity in the night, and the sound of metal striking metal was continuous and layered, blending with the sharp whistling of the swords to create a deadly and soul-stirring melody.

Despite being on the defensive, Zhang Jun unleashed a burst of power, transforming his sword into a dense, screen-like display of sword light, forcefully blocking the lightning-fast Heavenly Fate Sword.

Zhang Jun's extreme state is ultimately unstable. Gao Wu's Yin spirit and sword are one, and his sword control is incredibly subtle.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate for less than a second. Gao Wu, relying on his Yin Spirit, saw through Zhang Jun's limit. Suddenly, his Yin Spirit exerted its power to control the sword, and a bright, cold light broke through the continuous sword light and deeply penetrated into Zhang Jun's brow.

The terrifying kinetic energy of the high-speed thrust of the 20-kilogram sword instantly pierced through Zhang Jun's energy field, destroying all of Zhang Jun's life force.

After succeeding, Yin Shen withdrew his sword and gracefully retreated. Zhang Jun's turbid, crimson eyes stared at the sword blade that was steadily floating in the air. He was unwilling to give up and wanted to ask about the other party's origin, but before he could speak, blood had already flooded his eyes.

After swaying, Zhang Jun collapsed to the ground.

On the other side, Li Tiejun also swayed and fell to the ground, his body and head separated...

The first time he used Yin Spirit to control his sword and defeat the enemy, the process was much easier than Gao Wu had expected.

Yin spirits are formless, invisible, and even without substance. They are almost unrestricted by the environment. For example, the constraints of gravity and inertia on the physical body do not pose any obstacle to yin spirits.

With such a huge advantage, the Yin Spirit, while maintaining a stable human form, can freely change position in the air, moving forward and backward at will. It is also almost immune to sword attacks.

Even with the same speed and skill, the Yin God has such a huge advantage that he can easily win.

Although the intermediate-level warrior resisted with all his might, he only survived for a second longer. The high-level warrior still hadn't activated the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Spell.

Gao Wu ignored the two dead men, and Yin Shen, carrying the Heavenly Fate Sword, floated into the cave.

The narrow cave was dark, with only the beads on the crude altar emitting a chilling white light.

The two who died called this thing the "Netherworld Golden Pearl".

The name is not important; what is important is that this thing is clearly an evil object, containing the aura of a demon god, and at the same time possessing some kind of power.

The wild beasts that died outside must have been attracted by the Netherworld Golden Pearl and had their souls extracted.

Anyway, the Demon God is best at doing these kinds of things.

Gao Wu had dealt with the Angel of Death before and was extremely sensitive to such evil entities. Through his Yin Spirit, he could even sense the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations within the Netherworld Golden Pearl.

This fluctuation of spiritual power is stabilizing.

It's obvious that the so-called Phantom Slayer is about to descend!

After the incident with the Angel of Death, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue had a special discussion about related issues.

So-called sacrifices are generally about offering coordinates by gathering spiritual power to establish a channel of communication with demons and gods.

Based on the experience of the past century, demons will never descend into the real world, nor have there ever been any records of them appearing in the virtual realm.

To disrupt the so-called descent, one only needs to break the stable spatial coordinates. Just like slaying the Angel of Death, one must first destroy the Wings of Death that the Angel of Death resides in.

The bright white bead in front of us is clearly the key.

The Yin Spirit is invisible and formless, interacting only with the Heavenly Fate Sword. Theoretically, it cannot be harmed by any external force.

Although he is physically strong, there are limits.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Wu decided to use Yin Spirit to take action.

Yin Shen unleashed the Sixfold Vermilion Bird Divine Light Incantation, and the Heavenly Fate Sword in his hand transformed into streaks of burning crimson divine light, which then fiercely slashed at the white, gleaming bead.

The Netherworld Golden Pearl exploded into a blinding white light under the sword's strike... The violent impact sent the Heavenly Fate Sword flying, and the Yin Spirit rippled like water before quickly returning to normal.

Gao Wu, who rushed over, saw from afar that smoke and dust were billowing from the cave entrance, and the invisible source force impact continued to spray dozens of meters away before gradually dissipating.

He was secretly relieved that he had used Yin Spirit to do it; if he had done it himself, he would have suffered an extremely terrifying impact of source energy in the closed cave.

Although the Yin Spirit directly faced the explosion of source energy, due to its special nature, it only suffered a portion of the particle impact and was not substantially affected.

Gao Wu activated his Yin Spirit and instantly sensed the location of the Heavenly Fate Sword. But then he felt something was wrong; the Heavenly Fate Sword was now emitting a foul and violent aura...
