Destiny High Martial Arts

Chapter 546 Arriving in High Spirits

Bright and radiant like the sun, its divine light shines in all directions, endless and boundless.

Gao Wu knew that this must be the Dao Fruit left behind by Taihao, which was why it had such awe-inspiring power and boundless divine might.

Even if he were to remain here as merely a wisp of his divine soul and original spirit, or even if he were to be present in his true form, there would still be an exceptionally vast difference between him and the attainment of the Dao.

Just as the light of a firefly cannot compete with the brilliance of the moon.

He was also somewhat puzzled by this.

As a level 12 Martial God, he was only one step away from level 13. Logically, there shouldn't be such a huge gap.

Even though the Primordial Heavenly King was powerful, he couldn't be easily manipulated. If the difference in power between the two was so vast, how could he be qualified to cooperate with the Primordial Heavenly King?

Based on his perception of the Primordial Heavenly King, he knew that the opponent was not much stronger than him, at least not by such a huge margin.

The thirteenth-level Dao Fruit left behind by Taihao is quite remarkable.

The root cause may lie in the fact that his original spiritual essence is too weak. If his physical body were here, the situation would be completely different.

Gao Wu relied on the resonance of pure sword intent and Dao fruit, but it was like trying to tie up a grown tiger with a single hair.

The two sides have established a connection, but it is not enough for him to control the Dao Fruit; in fact, this connection itself is very fragile.

To think that one can obtain the Dao Fruit through this is utterly delusional.

Dao Fruits are the origin of the source power and laws of this world. Only by comprehending deeper levels of source power can a more stable connection be established, and only then is it possible to reap Dao Fruits.

The connection established by a wisp of sword intent also allowed Gao Wu to draw a bit of the original power from the Dao Fruit, which nourished and strengthened his body and spirit.

The power of the Dao Fruit is very different from that of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra. The Dao Fruit is the source of the source power law of this world. A little bit of the source power allows this body and spirit to adapt to the source power and operate the source power better.

When Gao Wu opened his eyes, the sea of ​​consciousness that had been gathering between his brows had completely stabilized.

The Dao Fruit increased his spiritual power twentyfold, and his true qi level also improved accordingly.

More importantly, it enhanced his affinity with the source energy of this world. The efficiency of his source energy circulation increased many times over.

Having taken this step, Gao Wu has reached the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, even without using his own martial arts skills, simply by relying on his powerful spiritual strength and true qi.

The only problem is that the body cannot be strengthened quickly. It needs time to be constantly tempered with true qi, and it will take one or two years to truly reach the limit of a martial artist.

Gao Wu didn't care much about this; this body was just an external thing, and it wouldn't make much sense to train it to be stronger.

There is only one way to control the Dao Fruit: use this body as a coordinate to summon the original body.

To achieve this, one must further enhance one's divine sea and sword intent.

Gao Wu felt a little disappointed when he thought about this; this matter was indeed very troublesome.

That being said, if it were that easy, the Primordial Heavenly King would have already taken the Dao Fruit, and there would be no need for him to help.

Lin Jiayi had already woken up. She was puzzled to see Gao Wu's deep expression and lack of joy.

Why does Gao Wu look so unhappy that he condensed his divine sea and advanced to the Heavenly King level so easily?

She asked, "Uncle-Master, is something wrong?"

Seeing Gao Wu condense his divine sea and even comprehend an extremely powerful sword intent from it, Gao Wu's status in her heart changed drastically.

She used to call Gao Wu "Uncle-Master" because Gao Wu was indeed young, and also because they used a special nickname to get closer to each other.

It's too casual to address Gao Wu like that now. Such an unparalleled expert has long surpassed the limitations of age and seniority.

In a relationship between the two, respect is far more important than intimacy. The clever Lin Jiayi naturally adjusted her form of address.

Gao Wu didn't care about these details. He said listlessly, "It's nothing. I just found that even the Heavenly King is nothing special. It's a bit boring."

Lin Jiayi was speechless. Gao Wu's tone sounded like that of a scumbag who gets tired of women after playing with them.

She couldn't offer any comment, only saying, "With your master advancing to the Heavenly King level, subduing Huang Shengtian should be easy for him."

"It's easy, but why rush it?" Gao Wu looked into the distance and focused his divine sea. He not only established a connection with the Dao Fruit, but also sensed the aura of some Heavenly King level experts.

These martial artists who have condensed their divine seas all have a slight resonance and connection with the Dao Fruit. However, their level is too low, and they should be unable to discover the essence of the Dao Fruit.

For him, the resonance between these martial artists and Dao Fruits was still valuable, at least he could see more changes in Dao Fruits.

There should be more than ten Heavenly King-level martial artists in this world, but no more than twenty. They all come from different martial arts lineages.

It's quite unusual that such a small place as Nangang has two Heavenly King-level powerhouses, Huang Shengtian and Shen Yi'an.

Gao Wu stood up, sword in hand, and asked Lin Jiayi, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

Seeing that half of the sun was already blocked by the mountains, Lin Jiayi hesitated and said, "It's getting dark, and it's almost time for dinner."

Her cultivation level has greatly improved, so whether or not she eats dinner is no longer important.

The main problem is that if they don't go back, Jiayin and Uncle He will be waiting for them, and they might even be worried.

"I was back before dinner," Gao Wu said casually.

"Where are we going?" Lin Jiayi was a little confused. Gao Wu was just condensing his divine sea and wasn't properly tempering his true qi to understand the changes. Why did he suddenly want to go out?

Have you ever been to Japan?

As Gao Wu spoke, he handed the scabbard to Lin Jiayi, saying, "Gotcha."

Lin Jiayi was stunned. What were they going to Japan for? And so far away? But she still instinctively grabbed the scabbard.

A surge of pure and potent energy flowed from the sword sheath, making Lin Jiayi feel light all over.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Gao Wu had already carried her into the sky.

Lin Jiayi looked down and saw the vast South Harbor spread out beneath her feet, with the sound of the air whistling and vibrating in her ears.

Although she had condensed her Qi Sea, she had never seen such a scene before. There was nothing but empty space all around her, and she could only maintain her floating posture by tightly gripping the sword sheath.

If you can't hold on, she'll definitely fall and turn into a pulp.

Thinking about all this, even the bold Lin Jiayi felt her hair stand on end, her heart leap into her throat, and her muscles tensed up.

This is humanity's most instinctive fear of heights.

Gao Wu sensed Lin Jiayi's tension and comforted her, "It's okay, even if you fall, I can catch you."

Hearing Gao Wu's words, Lin Jiayi relaxed. Indeed, with Gao Wu's high-speed flight ability, she wouldn't die in a crash.

Lin Jiayi quickly realized that Gao Wu's flight speed was too fast. In the time it took to say a sentence, the huge island of Nangang had become only the size of a fist in her eyes.

Before her stretched the boundless sea, the setting sun drawing near the horizon, countless golden rays shimmering with the waves, a breathtaking and magnificent sight.

Gao Wu was actually accelerating. With the vastness of the sea and sky and a lack of reference points, his speed had far exceeded the speed of sound.

Each acceleration creates a sonic boom cloud in the air, leaving jellyfish-shaped air ripples behind it.

The ripples that cut across the sky stretched for thousands of kilometers, and countless people witnessed this extraordinary phenomenon.

Gao Wu used sword energy to break through the air. Although the energy level was far inferior to that of his physical body, he still felt quite exhilarated.

Such high-speed flight, without prior notification, immediately provoked a reaction from the Japanese side.

Two fighter jets scrambled into the air, and the two pilots quickly spotted Gao Wu.

They hadn't expected that there were actually two people flying at high speed. Just as they were about to report to the rear, Gao Wu accelerated and rushed between the two fighter jets.

The shockwave from the speed of sound at ten times the speed of sound blew both fighter jets off course. The planes immediately stalled, and the pilots, unable to pull back up, were forced to eject mid-air…

On Seimei Island, Musashi Gen was watching the sunset from the shore.

This is his favorite spot where the sun sets over the sea. Every day, he would sit on this rock and watch the last rays of the setting sun.

Only at this time could he truly find peace of mind.

Musashi Gen quickly realized something was wrong; someone was flying at high speed overhead, and the air ripples behind this person were unusually exaggerated...

"A superstar!"

Musashi Gen found it strange; none of the Heavenly Kings he knew would fly so arrogantly, and at such a fast speed.

His sharp eyes allowed him to clearly see from a distance that the person approaching was a young man, who was also accompanied by a woman.

"Is this Gao Wu?" Musashi Gen had seen Gao Wu's photo, and he immediately realized that this was the expert who killed Gui Longji and Gui Longdao.

The other person was only eighteen years old and had already become a superstar... This still surprised him a bit.

"Musashi Gen!" Musashi Gen's brow twitched, and an extremely sharp spiritual power was transmitted over, accurately conveying the information.

Musashi Gen, with his white hair and eyebrows, was greatly alarmed. Although he possessed strong mental power, he was unable to transmit information through his mind.

"Take this sword." Musashi Gen heard the other party's cold voice again on a spiritual level.

Musashi Gen didn't have time to think. He got up and drew the five-bladed sword beside him.

The opponent is too strong; he must deal with them with all his might!

Musashi's inner eyebrow and mind were burning like fire, solid as the earth, light as the wind, gentle as water, and empty as nothingness.

The true energy of the Five Wheels Book converged, and under the stimulation of his divine sea, it condensed into the strongest Five Wheels Slash.

Gao Wu on the other side had already lowered his altitude, and he used his high-speed airflow to draw a long white line on the sea surface.

The sea split along the white line, raising waves hundreds of meters high.

Gao Wu's sword-wielding momentum seemed poised to cleave the sea and sky in two.

Facing the sharp edge of Gao Wu's sword energy, Musashi Gen appeared exceptionally small, like a mantis trying to stop a wheel.

Musashi Gen's heart was filled with endless violent and murderous intent. He entered the Demon Path state without any fear or hesitation.

Behind him, the five elements of wind, fire, earth, water, and space coalesced into a form resembling the face of a giant evil demon.

Musashi Gen swung his sword fiercely at Gao Wu, who was breaking through the sea, and the five wheels transformed into a huge black sword energy that fell through the air.

With a deafening roar, Musashi Gen, sword and all, disintegrated and shattered within the advancing sword energy, exploding into a cloud of bloody light...

"Commendable courage."

Gao Wu, who was flying straight ahead on his sword, didn't stop at all. He threw out a comment and then flew across Qingming Island again.

Lin Jiayi, standing behind her, had no idea what had happened. All she could see was a straight sword mark that parted the sea and cleaved the beautiful island in two...

Half an hour later, Gao Wu had brought Lin Jiayi back to where they were.

Lin Jiayi stood there stunned for a while before asking, "You seem to have killed someone?"

"Hmm, Musashi Gen, utterly vulnerable."

Gao Wu felt there wasn't much to say about Musashi Gen, and commented, "The island has nice scenery..." (End of Chapter)
