Barrier of Light

"You said someone has obtained 'immortal life'...who is that person?"

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

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

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

"good……"

The owl sarcastically said: "The saints of the Church of Storms are still racking their brains to decipher the inscriptions, but the progress of these idiots is too slow. If they continue to decipher at this speed, it will take at least ten years before they can get the answer, and it may be even longer. Long!"

"What does this have to do with the longevity spell being deciphered?"

"Of course."

After a slight pause.

Xiao said slowly: "Because those inscriptions are not the original text of the 'Longevity Technique', but the deciphered translation! Many years ago, the owner of the Tundra Tomb buried the translation and the coffin together... and prepared to die."

"You and I have seen the scene behind it."

"Many years later, heavy snow buried everything, and the tomb was empty. The owner's coffin was still there, but the deceased had long since disappeared."

"He's not dead."

"He really understood immortality!"

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

Gu Shen thought of the iron armor he had been wearing for a long time.

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

But this is a mysterious ancient object whose origin even the Gu family has not figured out!

And that weird jade finger that can feed its own "spirit"...

Today, Gu Shen is no longer the young boy he used to be. He has seen many high-level sealed objects, even divine objects, but none of them can absorb even the "spirit of the divine throne" like the jade ring finger. !

These two objects were excavated by him in the ancient tomb.

I didn't know why at first.

After opening the coffin, so many burial objects emerged from the tomb, and Gu Shen chose these two. He later handed over other objects to the Gu family for study, and in the end he only came up with "abnormal composition characteristics" or something like that. Characteristic report... In other words, the truly valuable burial objects in the tomb are actually the iron armor and the jade finger.

Is this destiny?

Speaking of which, it was precisely because of the [Profiling] activated in the tundra tomb that Gu Shen and the ghost in the tomb looked at each other in the chaos of time and space.

From then on, he embarked on an extraordinary road full of "ominous disasters"!

This is really like destiny...

If there is a person who successfully comprehends immortality, how can such a person be unknown?

He must have left a mark in history.

"I guess you should have some answers in your mind."

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

yes.

If the person who has obtained the magic of immortality lives...

Tombs should not exist.

Logically speaking, this kind of technique should not be obtained by a second person.

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

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

"One-fiftieth?"

Gu Shen was a little surprised in his heart.

You know, at the beginning of the immortality spell that Ian deciphered, the conversion efficiency was one-twentieth... which is already very low.

The owl is even less efficient!

However, the restrictions on the forbidden technique he has developed at the moment are different from those of Ian.

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

In the face of the temptation of immortality, the biggest threshold is actually moral restraint.

And the irony is.

A guy like Xiao who has no bottom line, masters the fragments of immortality, wasting a lot of efficiency to avoid moral losses.

He doesn't care whether the target of transformation is a human or an animal——

The reason why the local residents of Sangzhou Cave were not sown with "blood fire" 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 conversion efficiency of the "immortality spell" in Ian's hand was one-twentieth?

"Remember what I said earlier that I wanted to 'save' you? If I get immortality, then you will also have the opportunity to touch immortality."

"...?"

"Don't you understand yet? Our power comes 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 exciting: "Your blazing fire and my blood and fire can absorb each other and transform into each other... What does this mean? It means that as long as you are willing, we can share this perfect power! We are on the throne Twins!”

"yes."

Gu Shen's response was cold: "I have discovered it a long time ago."

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

His own blazing fire is probably from the same source as the owl's blood fire.

Two wisps of fire, neither complete enough for the other.

So once they get close, a trembling guide of mutual attraction is born!

However, Xiao's "Blood Fire" was created through the experiments of the Ancient Literature Society. Is the same true for his own "Blazing Fire"?

What Gu Shen really cares about is...

It's his own life experience.

The longer he practices, the more he feels that there is a pair of invisible hands playing with fate. Every step from the first encounter on "Ling Ling Yao" to today is the result of fate's careful design. He can neither escape nor fight against it. .

Be it blazing fire or Pluto’s fire.

These are all gifts given to you by fate, the kind you can't refuse!

He now wanted to break through the invisible barrier of fate and see who the owner of the hands behind his back was... Just as Xiao, it was not enough to reveal all this. When Gu Shen looked at him, he knew that what Xiao knew There is only so much truth.

"That should be all."

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

Xiao was stunned for a second.

next moment.

[Tan Yao] The lava in the ground flew up, tens of meters of flame waves suddenly exploded, and several flame pillars roared and propped up in the ground. In the suddenly scorching world, the dark adjudicator's robe was flying, and his black hair was flying. The young man raised his hand to form a large silver-white bow, and at the same time twisted his fingertips to grasp the bow string that did not exist in the void.

A lot of mental energy is injected into it.

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

Fingertips loosen.

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

"Gu! Shen!"

The owl walked forward in the sea of ​​fire and was carried by the strong wind.

His face was dripping with scarlet blood and tears, and it was tragic and terrifying.

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

The failed experimental product that had been on the run for twenty years was shattered.

Until his death, no one knew his name.

Just a vague code name.

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

No life, no mask, belongs to him.

Thousands of miles away, he even had the terrifying power of a quasi-S-class title.

But all this is ultimately a mirror image.

As he said himself.

Blood and fire... can control the physical body at will, but his own physical body is extremely weak, like a fragile white paper that can break into pieces when poked.

So when Gu Shen stood in front of him.

The battle is already over.

Using [Truth. Candle Extinguishing] to bring an end to life is Gu Shen's greatest respect for Xiao. He doesn't want to leave the slightest chance for this disgusting existence that can resurrect with just a wisp of embers.

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

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

There is only one throne.

The "twins" Xiao mentioned are really ridiculous.

This throne of blazing blood and fire can only have one owner, and that is yourself.

"Fire...go."

Gu Shen's eyebrows could no longer hold back any longer. At this moment, he no longer concealed the restlessness in his heart and let out all the blazing fire——

Suddenly, the sea of ​​​​fire under Tan Yao was churning!

This is the best nourishment for "blazing fire"!

The heart was shot with three arrows in a row, and it completely exploded, exploding countless blood and fire. According to the iron law of conservation of source matter, after the death of the owl, these blood and fire will return to the void... What Gu Shen has to do now , that is, absorb it as quickly as possible, the more, the better!

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

Gu Shen sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and looked inward to check his current situation.

The spiritual sea is almost exhausted.

If the devil wants to kill himself, now may be the best chance...

Now he can't even inspire a ray of silver light from the Ruler of Truth.

But fortunately, he still has energy savings and a pure land realm, so he will still have a way to leave the volcanic crack.

"...No response?"

After waiting for a few seconds, Gu Shen still didn't completely put down the stone he had raised in his heart.

He felt a little weird.

He spent all his mental energy to shoot the owl.

This is the most vulnerable moment in the heart. The devil in the ruler space has no intention of taking action. So many uses of [Truth] should have accumulated a lot of ominousness.

"No matter what the devil's plan is, I will seize the time to devour the 'Blood Fire'. This opportunity must not come back again!"

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He focused all his mental energy.

This is your great opportunity and great destiny!

If you want to break through the fourth level, you need to transform a large amount of "fire of vitality"... 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 size of the spiritual sea of ​​those who have transcended three times, if all the blood and fire of the owl can be swallowed up, at least three to five years of "transformation time" can be saved!

Some opportunities, once missed, will never come back!

Just as Gu Shen sat down and was about to immerse himself in the state of mind of the [spectator], a sudden loud noise woke him up.

boom!

This loud noise came from deeper under Tan Yao!

For a moment, the ground shook. Gu Shen, who was at the bottom of the crack, quickly summoned the [Pure Land] realm, but even with the wind and snow, he was still shaken to the point of trembling in his heart.

"what happened?"

Gu Shen looked horrified.

The link with Chu Ling was disconnected, which meant that he could not get contact with the outside world.

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

The tide of beasts is still continuing...the ground is still shaking.

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 material stored in the pure land, penetrating a ray of blazing flames through the earth's crust, continuously transporting it downward, and finally sent it to the bottom of the island in Sangzhou Cave.

He saw the endless black ice sea.

I also saw the source of the loud noise——

Countless waves stretched on the bottom of the sea, the tides rolled, and surged in the deep sea. The loud noise just now was the sound of a huge wave hitting the bottom of the island. The boulders were smashed, and the already unstable island began to move sideways. .

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

Gu Shen understood in an instant.

Saint Gadi arranged [Tide] not just for monitoring!

The real [tide] forms this undercurrent in the sea area surrounding Sangzhou Cave.

Once [Tan Yao] breaks out, the Holy City will completely push this isolated island into the ice sea.

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

Gu Shen felt that his scalp was numb. He never expected that the power of [Tide] would actually shake the island. On the one hand, the power given by the Storm God's Seat was indeed powerful, and on the other hand, it might be due to the rewinding ocean currents of the ice sea itself. .

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

Many conditions add up.

This resulted in a slight push from the Church of Storms, successfully changing the balance.

"Rumble..."

The undercurrent in the ground continues like thunder. Under the embrace of the ice sea, once the movement of Sangzhou Cave starts, it will not stop.

There is a mountain fire inside.

There is a sea of ​​ice outside.

Gu Shen's spirit soaked 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 Sangzhou Cave.

However, this feeling is not pleasant.

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

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

The Church of Storms hopes that "it" will be shattered into pieces and buried in the sea of ​​ice.

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

Sangzhou Cave has gradually disintegrated from the bottom.

This seems to be an irreversible and unstoppable process.

At this moment, no one cares about any of this.

All creatures were busy running for their lives.

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

What escaped was another mood.

Perhaps at that time, when the survivors looked from the far shore, they would think that the mountain fire that broke out in Tan Yao was just a beautiful fireworks.

(PS: There is a clerical error here, and it has been revised once. Ian's original efficiency was "one-twentieth", but the clerical error was "one-tenth" and has been adjusted back. Xiao's efficiency was changed to "fiftyth" one".)
