Light Fortress

Chapter 1780 - 419: I Am Waiting for You

"...This answer is very Gu Shen."

Bai Shu let out a long, long sigh, "So you really won’t reconsider?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

The next moment.

Bai Shu’s voice sharply rang out, laced with anger and trembling.

"Gu Shen, do you want to kill me?!"

Gu Shen remained expressionless.

Boom!

He exerted strength in his fingers, Chi Huo roared and swept out, engulfing Bai Shu. The fierce flames completely consumed the weak body. Even though the origin power had been heavily damaged, Bai Shu’s body still withstood the first wave of Chi Huo’s explosion. To suppress the current commotion, Gu Shen did not unleash both domains but merely used the domain of [Creator].

This was already enough.

The flames wrapped in killing intent engulfed Bai Shu, who turned into a figure of fire in an instant, unable to even lift a hand to struggle.

Chi Huo wantonly burned the super strong being who touched the mastery of origin power.

After that rusted bone strike.

Bai Shu was already exhausted and on the brink... To kill him did not require much power, any other Titled could manage it.

It would just take a bit more effort.

Because the healing ability of the life origin is too strong, to kill Bai Shu, one must ensure that the origin power is completely destroyed... This was a tug-of-war, but fortunately, Gu Shen’s "Extraordinary Essence" was vast enough, even Bai Shu at his peak couldn’t compare to Gu Shen in this aspect.

Supported by an entire Pure Land.

This tug-of-war had no suspense.

Gu Shen coldly watched Bai Shu as the flames consumed him, ensuring the last trace of life origin gradually succumbed to annihilation under the intense burn of Chi Huo...

Disposing of corpses was not something Gu Shen was doing for the first time.

He knew very well that the most important part of such actions was to annihilate the "Spirit."

So while Chi Huo burned Bai Shu’s body, Gu Shen took out a jade thumb ring.

He had to ensure Deep Sea wouldn’t receive any feedback from this enclosed space.

As soon as the jade thumb ring was taken out, it shone brightly, madly devouring the remaining spirit within the array pattern barrier.

Gu Shen took the opportunity to check the remnant consciousness inside Bai Shu’s shell.

Unfortunately, the result of this mental plunder was not smooth, as Deep Sea had already made relevant preparations before encountering him, leaving the Spirit Sea inside the shell blank.

All effective memories related to Rusted Bone had been erased.

"Did he already guess that I would act?"

Gu Shen frowned.

The flames gradually extinguished, and the closed barrier became very quiet.

Inside the life compartment, there was only a handful of ashes left, the origin strong person Bai Shu, who wielded the Third Legion, his body had now been annihilated into dust.

Even though he ensured the complete destruction of Bai Shu’s body, Gu Shen did not feel relieved.

He understood.

What was just burned was only Bai Shu’s body.

Deep Sea’s consciousness still lived on, even though the link with this shell was severed, it still held authority over the Five Continents.

Now the Black Silver Airship is heading towards Chanyi City...

The first thing Gu Shen had to do after returning to the Five Continents is to reveal Deep Sea’s true face to the public.

Though he had annihilated the strand of spirit Deep Sea left in Bai Shu’s body, ensuring it would not receive feedback from the [Old World].

Gu Shen still felt uneasy in his heart.

...

...

At the spire of the Source Tower, seated in the shadow, Deep Sea let out a long sigh.

He felt a part of his spirit deep within had disappeared.

Though he did not know exactly what happened.

But the strand of spiritual will sent from the [Old World] had been completely wiped out... This meant he lost control over Bai Shu’s body, and the imagery relayed back by the Spirit Sea was very limited. Due to Gu Shen’s pre-arranged array patterns, all useful spirit information had been lost, but one thing was undeniable.

Evidently, "Bai Shu’s" body had been destroyed.

"The negotiations have indeed broken down, haven’t they?"

Deep Sea put away his thoughts.

He stood up and bowed to the man on the Throne respectfully, "Now, you may set off."

Qinglong was adjusting his attire; it had been a long time since he left the Divine Domain. The chessboards floating in all directions now dissolved again, forming a series of Cloud Mirrors. These Cloud Mirrors monitored every scene under the Five Continent Sky... apart from the Divine Domain, among them was a Cloud Mirror located directly above Central City, shrouded by Lin Lei’s Power of Fire, Central City was obscured by clouds and mist.

But that didn’t matter.

Qinglong extended his slender five fingers, lightly brushing across the Cloud Mirror.

The mirror surface was torn apart.

The Skytop above Central City was also torn, a gateway appeared, the origin of the [Cloud Mirror] authority directly connected the spire of the Source Tower’s Divine Domain to the void space, a frigid gale blew through the cracks of the gateway, sharp and piercing, Qinglong’s robe was tossed about.

He was not in a hurry to move but leisurely looked towards Deep Sea.

"Are you sure I only need to stop one person?"

Qinglong’s eyes carried a hint of amusement, "If you’re worried about Bai Shu heading north, I can spare some effort and hold off two Divine Thrones, that’s not impossible."

"No need for such trouble."

Deep Sea shook his head and seriously said, "Although there are disparities between Divine Thrones, it’s ultimately not going to break out into Divine War... You don’t need to act, just enter the opponent’s Divine Domain to ensure Lin Lei can’t spare any attention to the external developments."

Qinglong smiled and said, "How long do you need?"
