Light Fortress

Chapter 1795 - 425: Faith, Slaughter (Part 1)

"Take on the weight of light..."

The pitch-black void was illuminated by light, and the small cloud ship swayed in the turbulent Blazing Light. Batu and the other followers of the Light Temple were all kneeling on the ground. They did not know what kind of conversation the Divine Throne was having with Meng Xizhou at that moment.

Meng Xizhou raised her head.

She looked directly at the light she could not discern and asked sincerely.

"What should I do?"

The old man in the Blazing Light smiled.

"You just need to follow the guidance of your heart."

The old man folded his hands behind his back and said softly, "Leave the matter of killing the Netherworld King to me. Afterward, taking the Light City to clear out the remnants of the Netherworld King... that will be up to you."

"Kill... the Netherworld King?"

Meng Xizhou held her breath.

She knew that Gu Shen had already fled north from the Cicada Wing City Fortress.

Given the vastness of the [Old World], searching for a single airship was like finding a needle in a haystack. To kill Gu Shen, one must first catch up to him... how to pursue him?

The old man saw through Meng Xizhou’s confusion.

He raised his head.

His radiant eyes ignited with dazzling light and flame.

Although this body was aged to the extreme, at this moment it still held the power of the "Light Fire." The Light God’s Seat shifted its gaze, and a strand of golden brilliant light spread like ripples, sweeping across the cloud ship and the ground of the Shattered Continent below, extending beyond the boundless void.

A Titled Level Transcendent’s strand of spiritual power could extend for thousands of meters.

A Near-God Person touching the origin could reach ten thousand meters beyond.

As for a being like the Light God’s Seat.

Even in a state of extreme age, a strand of spirit could shuttle tens of thousands of meters away, and indeed, the speed was like light.

In an instant.

The vast void, countless fragments.

All manifested in his Spirit Sea, this strand of spirit had completed its scan, every inch of land’s visage, every living being’s breath, all within the Light God’s Seat’s perception.

"Buzz."

After the light spread out.

The old man’s gaze found a target, he looked toward a distant spot in the darkness and said softly, "I will give you a coordinate... you lead your people over, and if you encounter Gu Nanfeng’s Source Energy Boat on the way, I hope you will react accordingly."

Meng Xizhou’s heart tightened.

Is this finding the target?

"Are you... going to take action personally?"

She was a bit nervous, speaking softly, "Although the siege here at Cicada Wing City is obstructing airships, more and more forces are arriving. They can’t be stopped. Soon, a large fleet will flood into the [Old World]."

"If Cicada Wing City lifts its restrictions, then the cloud ships from West Continent will also reach the [Old World]."

The old man said, "At that time, everything will already be settled. You can carry the Netherworld King’s head and once again prove to the world the victory of light."

Meng Xizhou still wanted to say something more.

The Blazing Light suddenly surged!

The old man instantly disappeared outside the cloud ship.

He transformed into a blinding meteor, crashing toward the "target" tens of thousands of meters away.

The afterglow of the divine array patterns faded away.

A coordinate marked by light appeared on the screen of the cloud ship.

"..."

Meng Xizhou silently looked at the coordinate.

After a moment of contemplation, she activated the cloud ship, heading toward the target location.

...

...

Gu Shen sat cross-legged on a hovering desolate island.

In the [Old World], such a place was inhospitable to ordinary vegetation and creatures. This island of decay was not large, with a diameter of only a hundred meters, barren, nothing at all.

But Gu Shen had unfolded a domain, and thus the island had a towering whispering wood.

Accompanied by frost and snow flying across the Pure Land.

Pieces of ethereal holy leaves stirred and swirled.

He watched his nose, his nose watched his heart, patiently waiting.

The harsh chill of the [Old World] coalesced into mist, blocked by Gu Shen’s domain, forming a faint mist barrier.

And at the next moment.

The mist barrier was torn apart, and majestic Holy Light descended upon this island, the desolate island was suddenly flooded with unbounded light, immediately crashing down onto the ground.

Boom!

After the violent sound, Gu Shen opened his eyes, and an old, withered figure appeared before him.

Not long ago.

He had met this old man once at Red Lake.

Now, they met again.

Standing before him at this moment was one of the Seven Gods, the Light God’s Seat... more precisely, Deep Sea who had seized the Light God’s Seat’s body.

"You’re faster than I imagined."

Gu Shen was the first to speak and break the silence.

"To kill you, no negligence can be afforded."

Deep Sea’s gaze fell on Gu Shen, with some change. He did not understand why this young man before him was so calm and collected, despite his descent with a "Divine Throne True Body," there was no panic at all.

The strength of the Divine Throne True Body was drastically different from the previous White Lizard.

If White Lizard were chasing Gu Shen.

Gu Shen might have had a chance to escape.

With Gu Shen’s current capability, though he couldn’t defeat Origin Strong People, escaping was still not a problem.

Except... the chance of fleeing from the Divine Throne was nearly zero.

"You don’t seem afraid?"

Deep Sea squinted his eyes.

"I’m not afraid of what I can’t escape from, what’s there to fear?"

Gu Shen smiled. He stood up, dusting off his body, and said calmly, "Before I die, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Deep Sea sighed, "Looking throughout history, in stories where tables are turned, there’s always a similar scene, when it’s time to make a decision, there’s hesitation, and finally, a reversal by the fallen..."

He paused for a moment.

Deep Sea said earnestly, "If you draw from those experiences, it’s easy to reach a conclusion that you should never underestimate a dying person."
