Bulwark of Light

Chapter 857 Bloodfire, fall
"You said that someone has obtained 'longevity'... who is that person?"

"Who exactly... I don't know."

Xiao Xiao smiled hoarsely, "Do you still remember the stone tablet excavated from the ground of the tundra by the Church of the Evening Bell? That is the tablet recording the 'Longevity Technique'...Although it is only a broken part, someone has successfully deciphered it."

Gu Shen frowned: "Has that stone tablet been deciphered?"

"good……"

Xiao sneered: "The saints of the Church of Storms are still racking their brains to decipher the inscription, but the progress of these idiots is too slow. If deciphering continues at this speed, it will take at least ten years before reaching the answer, and it may be longer Long!"

"What does this have to do with the deciphering of the longevity technique?"

"Of course there is."

After a slight pause.

Xiao slowly said: "Because those inscriptions are not the original texts of the 'Longevity Technique', but the deciphered translations! Many years ago, the owner of the tundra tomb buried the translations with the coffin... preparing to die."

"You and I have seen the scene behind."

"After many years, the heavy snow buried everything, and the tomb was empty. The coffin of the tomb owner is still there, but the deceased has long since disappeared."

"He's not dead."

"He really realized longevity!"

This is a crazy conjecture, but sometimes the truth is even crazier than imagined.

Gu Shen remembered the iron armor he had worn for a long time.

Now the iron armor has been completely smelted by the [Iron Throne] and turned into iron scales, which can change shape at will.

But this is a mysterious antiquity that the Gu family didn't even figure out the origin of!

And that weird jade finger that can eat "spirit" independently...

Today's Gu Shen is no longer the brat he was back then. He has seen many high-level sealed items, even divine items, but none of them can swallow the "Spirit of God Throne" like a jade wrench. !

These two items were excavated from the ancient tomb by him.

I didn't know why at first.

After opening the coffin, there were so many funerary objects from the tomb, and Gu Shen just fell in love with these two. He later said that the other objects were given to the Gu family for research, but in the end he only came up with "abnormal composition characteristics" and the like. Characteristics report... In other words, the truly valuable burial objects in the tomb are actually iron armor and jade ring fingers.

Is this the arrangement of fate?
Speaking of it, it was precisely because of the [Profiling] activated in the tundra tomb that Gu Shen and the ghost of the tomb looked at each other in the chaotic time and space.

Since then, he has embarked on an extraordinary path full of "ominous disasters"!

It's really a lot like destiny...

If there is a person who successfully realizes longevity, how can such a person be unknown?

He must have left a strong mark in the past history.

"You must have some answers in your mind."

Xiao laughed softly: "Actually, I also have some candidates in my mind. Looking at the past, there are only a few people who are likely to get the 'longevity technique'. But who knows what the real truth is? The only thing I can be sure of is that the longevity technique The probability has been lost, and the person who obtained this forbidden technique is dead, otherwise how could this forbidden technique really spread."

Yes.

If the person who got the longevity technique lived...

Tombs should not exist.

This kind of technique, logically speaking, should not be obtained by the second person.

"Gu Shen, I am the only one who comprehended the 'inscription'."

The humanoid creature embedded in the stone wall raised his hands, with a sincere and sincere expression, and he said seriously: "I have done many experiments with [Tan Yao]...Those extraordinary lives can be sacrificed for the longevity technique, and their lives will Transferred to me with one-fiftieth efficiency, as long as there are enough of them, I can live long enough."

"Fiftieth?"

Gu Shen was a little surprised.

You know, the transformation efficiency of the longevity technique deciphered by Ian is one-twentieth... which is already very low.

Owl is less efficient!

However, the forbidden technique he has researched at the moment has different restrictions from Ian's.

The "Eternal Life Fragment" mastered by Xiao can allow life transformation between different species. This threshold is far lower than Ian's version. After all, killing a human being and killing a beast are incomparable. of.

In the face of the temptation of longevity, the biggest threshold is actually moral constraints.

And ironically.

For a guy like Xiao who has no bottom line, he has wasted a lot of efficiency in the fragments of immortality he mastered to avoid loss of morality.

He doesn't care whether the transformation target is a human or a beast——

The reason why no "blood fire" was planted for the local residents of Sangzhou Grottoes is also very simple:
These people may be taken over by the church and turn to bring disaster to him!
How would an extremely selfish guy like Xiao feel if he knew that the transformation efficiency of the "Longevity Technique" in Ian's hand was one-twentieth?

"Remember what I said earlier that I want to 'save' you? If I get longevity, then you also have a chance to touch longevity."

"...?"

"Have you not understood yet, our powers are from the same source, I can control the physical body at will, and you are the uncrowned king of the soul realm."

The humanoid creature on the stone wall opened its arms and waved them vigorously.

Xiao's expression was very passionate: "Your blazing fire and my blood fire can absorb and transform each other... What does this mean? It means that as long as you want, we can share this perfect power! We are on the throne Twins!"

"Yes."

Gu Shen's response was very cold: "I have already found out."

He realized it when they played against each other in the metropolitan area.

His own blazing fire is likely to have the same origin as Xiao Xiao's blood fire.

Two flames, each other is not complete.

So once they get close, there will be a tremor guide that attracts each other!
However, Xiao's "Blood Fire" was created by the Gu Wenhui's experiments, so could it be the same with his own "Blazing Fire"?
What Gu Shen really cares about is...

It is his own life experience.

The longer he practiced, the more he felt that a pair of invisible hands were manipulating fate. From the first encounter on "Linglingyao" to today, every step was the result of fate's careful design. He could not escape or fight against it. .

It doesn't matter if it's blazing fire or Pluto tinder.

These are all gifts from fate, the kind that I can't refuse!
Now he wants to break through that invisible barrier of fate and see who the hands behind his back are... Just as Xiao Xiao, it's not enough to reveal all of this. When he looks at him, Gu Shen knows what Xiao understands. Truth, there is only so much.

"That should be all there is to it."

Gu Shen spoke calmly, as if asking, but more like a final conclusion.

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a second.

next moment.

[Tan Yao] The lava in the ground was flying, and the flame waves of tens of meters suddenly exploded. Several pillars of flame roared and propped up in the ground. The young man raised his hand to condense a large silver-white bow, and at the same time twirled his fingertips, grasping the bowstring that did not exist in the void.

Inject a lot of mental power.

The tip of the arrow condensed by the majestic silver light is like a candle that roars with the wind and burns grandly.

Let go of your fingertips.

This burst of silver light shot out, shattering the heart, and the frail humanoid creature on the stone wall roared and struggled.

"Gu! Shen!"

Xiao Xiao walked forward in the sea of ​​flames and was engulfed by the strong wind.

Scarlet blood and tears flowed from his face, which was terrifying.

After a few steps, this broken torso, which should have disappeared from the world long ago, was completely annihilated.

The failed experiment that ran away for 20 years was crushed.

Until the end of the world, no one knew his name.

There is only a vague code name.

Xiao Xiao's life was a tragedy of failure. He escaped from the ancient literary society and wanted to find his own life... Due to the power of "Blood Fire", he experienced hundreds of thousands of lives and wore hundreds of thousands of papers. mask.

No life, no mask, belongs to him.

He was thousands of miles away, and even once held the terrifying power of a quasi-S rank title.

But all of this is a mirror image after all.

As he himself said.

Bloodfire... can control the physical body at will, but his own physical body is extremely weak, like a fragile white paper that can be broken if poked.

So when Gu Shen stood in front of him.

The battle is over.

Using [Truth. Extinguish Candle] to end life is Gu Shen's greatest respect for Xiao. He doesn't want to leave even the slightest chance for such a disgusting existence that can be revived with just a single embers.

"How can there be longevity in this world..."

Gu Shen looked at the bloody flames scattered all over the sky, "Even if there are, I'm not interested in them."

There is only one throne.

Xiao Xiao's "twins" are really ridiculous.

This fiery throne of blood and fire can only have one master, and that is himself.

"Blazing... let's go."

Gu Shen's brows were already unbearable, and at this moment he no longer concealed the restlessness in his heart, and let out all the blazing fire——

All of a sudden, Tan Yao's subterranean sea of ​​flames raged!

This is the best nourishment for "blazing fire"!

The heart was shot with three arrows in a row, and it has completely exploded, exploding countless blood fires. According to the iron law of conservation of source matter, after the owl's body dies, these blood fires will return to the void... Now what Gu Shen has to do , is to absorb it as soon as possible, the more the better!

"Great dangers are often accompanied by great fortunes. If I leave now, the blood will disappear...I must eat all of these things!"

Gu Shen sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and checked his current situation internally.

The spiritual sea is almost exhausted.

If the devil wants to kill himself, this moment may be the best opportunity...

The current him can't even arouse a ray of silver light from the ruler of truth.

But fortunately, he still has source quality savings and the Pure Land Domain, so he still has a way to leave the volcanic crater.

"...No response?"

After waiting for a few seconds, Gu Shen didn't let go of the stone that was raised in his heart.

He felt a little weird.

He spent all his mental power to shoot Xiao Xiao.

Right now is the most vulnerable moment in Xinhai, and the devil in the space of the ruler has no intention of making a move. So many times of using [Truth] should have accumulated a lot of ominousness.

"No matter what the devil's plan is, I must seize the time to devour the 'Bloodfire' now, and I won't miss this opportunity!"

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He put all his energy into focus.

This is a great opportunity for me, a great fortune!

If you want to break through the fourth level, you need a large amount of "fire of vitality" to transform... This process is a boring road with no shortcuts, but the "blood fire" in front of you can greatly speed up this boring road!

I suddenly had a large amount of "special flame reserves"!
The number of blazing fires suddenly increased!
According to the scale of the spiritual sea of ​​the three-time Transcendent, if Xiao Xiao's blood can be swallowed up, at least three to five years of "transformation time" can be saved!
Some opportunities, once missed, will not come back!

And just when Gu Shen sat down and was about to immerse himself in the state of "spectator", a sudden loud noise woke him up.

boom!
This loud noise came from deeper in Tan Yao's underground!

All of a sudden, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Gu Shen, who was at the bottom of the rift, quickly summoned the [Pure Land] domain, but despite the wind and snow, his heart was still trembling.

"what happened?"

Gu Shen looked shocked.

The disconnection with Chu Ling means that he cannot get contact with the outside world.

The loud noise just now was not made by anyone or any creature.

The beast tide is still continuing... the ground is still trembling.

The loud noise seemed to come from the bottom of the island!
Gu Shen pressed his hands on the ground, and he began to consume a large amount of the source quality stored in the pure land, penetrating a ray of blazing flames through the earth's crust, continuously transporting it downwards, and finally sent it to the bottom of the island in the Sangzhou Grotto.

He saw the boundless sea of ​​black ice.

I also saw the source of the loud noise——

Countless waves are rolling on the bottom of the sea, the tide is rolling, and churning in the deep sea. The loud noise just now is the sound of a huge wave hitting the bottom of the island. The boulder was smashed, and the already unstable island body began to move sideways. .

"This is... the [Tide] of the Church of Storms?!"

Gu Shen understood in an instant.

Saint Jiadi arranged [Tide], not just for monitoring!

The real [tide] formed this undercurrent in the sea area around Sangzhou Grotto.

Once [Tan Yao] erupts, the holy city will completely push this isolated island into the sea of ​​ice.

"So the movement just now...is the Sangzhou Cave moving?"

Gu Shen felt his scalp go numb. He never expected that the power of [Tide] would really shake the island. On the one hand, the power bestowed by the God of Storms is indeed powerful; .

Coupled with the recovery of the volcano, the internal environment of the island has been destroyed by the awakening experiment...

A lot of conditions add up.

This led to a slight push from the Church of the Storm, successfully changing the balance.

"Rumble..."

Underground tides sound like thunder, and under the embrace of the ice sea, the movement of Sangzhou Grottoes will not stop once it starts.

There is a wildfire inside.

There is a sea of ​​ice outside.

Gu Shen's spirit dipped into the earth's crust, and he suddenly had a subtle feeling. He saw the thick sea water and heard the dull sound of the tide. At this moment, he felt as if he had become a Sangzhou Cave.

However, this taste is not good.

[Tide] After a push, everything here began to sail towards the sea of ​​ice.

Countless waves gather, and in the depths of the ocean where no one can see, they turn into thousands of hands, pushing one after another, and Sangzhou Cave will never come back.

The Church of the Storm wants "it" to be shattered and buried in the sea of ​​ice.

And all of this is going as planned by the Church of Storms——

Sangzhou Grottoes have gradually disintegrated from the bottom.

This seems to be an irreversible and unstoppable process.

At this moment, no one cares about all this.

All creatures are busy running for their lives.

Those who cannot escape are destined to be buried in the sea of ​​ice.

And the one who escaped was another kind of mood.

Perhaps at that time, the escapees looked from the far shore and felt that the mountain fire that erupted in Tan Yao was just a beautiful fireworks.

(PS: There is a clerical error here, and a revision has been made. Ian originally set the efficiency as "one-twentieth", but the clerical error became "one-tenth", which has been recalled. Xiao's efficiency has been changed to "fiftieth one".)
