Light Fortress Chapter 1958 - 27: Fierce Battle!

Gu Shen sat inside the Origin, feeling the realm of his mind at this moment.

Seven flickering red shadows were reflected in the Heart Lake.

Seven threads of Heart Flow Power, each controlling a red shadow!

With a "Divine Infant" shell regrown, Gu Shen’s spirit was suppressed by the rules of the Transcendent, but those rules couldn’t suppress his Heart Flow Power. After erasing the Origin’s program settings, the upper limit of the power exerted by the "Red Shadow" largely depended on the mental strength of the controller.

The more battle experience the controller has, the more robust his spirit.

The more power the Red Shadow can unleash!

"After the Molten Furnace Netherfire... my Heart Flow Power broke through from six threads to seven threads..."

Gu Shen murmured softly.

Seven threads of Heart Flow Power represented the peak state of the Silver Fox General.

But this isn’t Gu Shen’s limit.

"No, it’s more than seven threads... my eighth thread of Heart Flow Power is about to emerge..."

Chu Ling had originally speculated.

A Transcendent’s spirit, no matter how strong in the real world, can diversify up to ten threads of "Heart Flow Power" in this world, because the [Source Code] in the deep water area can easily diversify thousands of threads of Heart Flow Power, but only ten threads of Heart Flow Power in the real world.

The real world and the Spiritual World correspond, but the former abides by more rules and constraints.

But this speculation doesn’t really stand.

During the Starship Civilization Era, the Lord of Melting Iron broke through the ten-thread Heart Flow Power limit... Alf once said its master could simultaneously divide more than ten threads of Heart Flow, focusing on forging and tempering.

The "limit" that the [Source Code] could not break, the Lord of Melting Iron succeeded in breaking through!

"Clearly, ten threads of Heart Flow Power is a huge threshold."

Gu Shen slightly frowned.

But this theory doesn’t seem applicable to himself.

"Is it due to the fire seed? After fusing the Netherfire... my mental cultivation bottleneck seems to have vanished..."

In the past, cultivating Heart Flow Power would more or less encounter bottlenecks. Each additional cultivated thread was like dividing out another avatar.

But now, he vaguely felt that the breakthrough in Heart Flow Power seemed to have lost its pressure.

Could it be that the world’s rule of ten threads of Heart Flow Power doesn’t apply to him?

"Anyway, this is a good thing."

"My true self currently exerts limited battle power, controlling the ’Red Shadow’, can help the Five Continents and hone my Heart Flow cultivation. This is a win-win situation."

Thoughts flashed by, Gu Shen redirected his attention back to the current frontline battlefield.

Outside the shattered Umbrella Line, hundreds to thousands of portals open every second, as low-level creatures of the Traveler Tribe launch crazy attacks on the Gu Castle Fortress, knowing well this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a surprise attack. Missing it means there won’t be a second chance, and to "land" smoothly on the North Continent, they must tear open this gap before the reinforcements from Central City arrive!

"Kill!"

Gu Shen whispered within the Heart Lake.

The seven red shadows drew their blades and began to run, skimming the ground rushing against the Traveler Tribe. The Black Silver battle knives carried a fierce killing intent, and wherever they went, Traveler corpses were instantly severed like autumn leaves, with blood spilling over the skies of Gu Castle.

Red Shadows possess extremely formidable individual combat capabilities.

This is the strongest battle machine that the Starship Civilization Era could create, its only flaw being the inability to possess a "domain" comparable to a Fourth-order Transcendent.

They don’t have "Extraordinary Power", only physiques honed to the extreme,

But at this moment.

This "flaw" instead becomes a "advantage" in battle, as red shadows are completely unafraid of the Heavenly Sheath Fragment.

They have only bones, no blood.

No matter how much power the Heavenly Sheath Fragment releases, it cannot harm them!

Purple Rain struggles against the Traveler Tribe’s assault because her [Dragon Annihilation] domain can only be released at the Gu Castle’s gap. Once she penetrates deeply, she will be affected by the "Heavenly Sheath Fragment"...

Thus, she can only defend passively, not attack proactively.

This style of fighting gives her the illusion of "having strength but nowhere to use it."

But Red Shadow has no such concern, wielding their blades within the ruins of Gu Castle Fortress recklessly slaughtering. This battlefield isn’t large, so each strike of the Red Shadow’s Sword Energy ensures an area is "cleared"!

...

...

At the battlefield’s edge, a grey-winged figure floats high above.

The Umbrella Line has shattered under the impact of the Source Material Storm, a rip torn open, half falling below the horizon, with countless levitating panels maintaining their previous operations atop the collapsed "umbrella surface", supporting half the defense shield, though its effectiveness is minimal.

The [Old World] portal opened, with tens of thousands of Travelers continuously pushing towards the breach in the defense line.

And this grey-winged creature quietly landed atop the defense shield.

Its gaze locked onto the nine ghostly red shadows of the Gu Castle Battlefield. This assault wasn’t supposed to be so tough. According to the plan, this shattered fortress should have been occupied by now.

Yet unexpectedly appeared these human-like but not human mechanical lives.

Moreover, their battle strength... is so high.

"Swoosh—"

Grey bone wings spread out, slowly beating in the air, emitting a deep rumble.

It watched the few red shadows on the Gu Castle Battlefield. In just a few seconds, the Traveler Tribe’s second wave of assault was slaughtered to the end, but it also noticed the "strength discrepancy" among the nine red shadows, with one red shadow obviously weaker than the others.
