Light Fortress Chapter 1999 - 52: What the Former Netherworld King Owed You Has Nothing to Do With Me

"Gu Shen wants to negotiate with the Traveler... can such a thing succeed?"

Alf was somewhat worried.

It floated on Turing’s shoulder, and the source energy shield of the Initial was already deployed, as overwhelming snow and frost swept in.

Before Turing could respond.

The roar of the giant in the distant sky reverberated.

"Clearly. The negotiation failed."

Turing shrugged and said, "Get ready to send the ’Red Shadows’ into battle."

In an instant, the entire land plunged into chaos, with snow avalanches cascading down. Skytop lit up with countless brilliant rays, as portals opened and the low-level ’Sacrificial Beings’ of the Traveler Tribe swarmed through like locusts. But their opponent was the ’Starship’ manufactured by top-tier civilization—the Initial.

The low-level Sacrificial Beings collided with the source energy shield of the Initial, unable to leave even a trace of impact damage.

"Sizzle!"

Intense heat instantly incinerated them to ashes!

The Black Snow Mountain Giant declared war on Gu Shen, and the entire tribe began to rally, with high-order extraordinary creatures also descending from the portals.

In response to the war declaration by the Traveler Tribe.

At this moment, Turing’s expression did not waver, remaining calm and composed.

He left the simulated Snowfield, quickly returning to the main cabin. The Red Shadows, soaking in the liquid nitrogen cryo-chamber, gradually awoke. Turing personally loaded the source energy cores into them, then input the battle program commands. The source energy shield deployed by the Initial resembled a domain, allowing high-order extraordinary life to tear through and enter the Initial’s domain.

But what awaited them within the domain would be the Starship’s more ferocious assault!

"Zzzsplat!"

A high-order extraordinary with gray wings was directly cleaved in half by a Red Shadow wielding a sword. Within the range of the Initial’s program coverage, the single combat capability of the Red Shadows could almost rival the Titled. Under the Traveler Tribe’s frantic assault, Alfred no longer concealed the trump cards of the Starship, directly awakening the ’Red Shadows’ left by the Lord of Melting Iron for the Initial.

There were a full hundred Red Shadows within the Initial ready to deploy to the battlefield!

Alf mastered the complete craftsmanship of "Repairing Red Shadows" and "Manufacturing Red Shadows," but creating each Red Shadow consumed a vast amount of precious materials. With the Initial’s energy recovery capability, it might take five to ten years to accumulate the ’raw materials’ for one Red Shadow.

However... the legacy left by the Lord of Melting Iron before his departure, along with what the Initial had amassed over a thousand years submerged in the Ice Sea, was enough for the Starship to handle this current war!

"Rumble——"

The Traveler Tribe surrounded the Initial’s source energy shield, but light still seeped through from within. Inside the source energy shield’s domain, the Red Shadows rampaged, their "Extermination Squad" perfectly countering the Traveler Tribe’s "swarm tactics."

The Starship’s defensive counterattack capabilities far surpassed its active offensive ones.

If the Traveler Tribe stopped here, they would at most suffer a few Black Silver Bombshells...

Causing large-scale damage to this tribe was not an easy task for Alf.

But if they wanted to "engulf" the Initial, the price they would have to pay would be astronomical.

"How is Gu Shen doing over there?"

Turing quickly walked along the Starship’s corridor, arriving at the Initial’s dojo. He found protective gear for himself and subconsciously looked in the direction where Gu Shen was.

Chu Ling pulled up the monitoring screen.

The "Nano Monitor" dispatched by the Initial rolled in the snow layers, most being destroyed amidst the Traveler Tribe’s assault, but a few "Monitors" broke through the encirclement and floated in the air with the snow dust. Although the vision transmitted by the monitors was blurred, the indistinct scene at the center of the battlefield could still be seen.

A towering snow mountain and a small being confronted each other in the swirling snow. Even from a kilometer away, one could feel the cold atmosphere.

Even the air was filled with an aura of severity.

"It seems... the negotiation hasn’t completely ended."

Alf said in a deep voice, "That giant doesn’t seem to have harmed Gu Shen."

"No."

Chu Ling interrupted Alf, adding, "It’s not that he hasn’t harmed Gu Shen, rather... he hasn’t managed to harm Gu Shen."

The snow dust covering the monitor’s exterior was blown away by the strong wind.

A huge groove was exposed at the edge of the vision, stretching a hundred meters, creating a large Heavenly Pit in the snow, with faint fingerprints visible.

The Black Snow Mountain Giant... had indeed made a move!

Yet that strike didn’t hit Gu Shen!

...

...

"Was there a need to be this angry?"

Gu Shen hovered in the biting cold wind, glancing at the giant pit not far from him, and said calmly, "I know this is the debt owed to you by the Netherworld King, and now... isn’t the Netherworld King here to repay it?"

The response to him was a fierce wind bullet!

Bang!

The Black Snow Mountain Giant opened its mouth, roaring, as the intense wind pressure gathered at the throat, and finally, a bomb suddenly shot out!

Gu Shen remained expressionless, pressing a hand on his forehead.

"Whoosh."

The wind bullet shot past him, and the next moment he returned to his original position... accompanied by the awakening of Chi Huo in the real world, Gu Shen’s strength gradually increased.

After three restarts, the power that originally belonged to him finally returned to this body.

Ever since being calculated by Deep Sea and stepping into the layout of Chanyi City.

Gu Shen had been constrained by various shackles, unable to achieve satisfaction and peace of mind.

He had been holding back for a long time.

Gu Shen looked back, seeing the distant snow mountain shattered in half by a wind bullet. He already understood the Black Snow Mountain Giant’s attitude toward negotiations.

"I originally intended to negotiate calmly."

Gu Shen said, "But now it seems, you don’t want to talk to me, you only want to solve the problem through force."

The giant in front of him was no longer "listening" to Gu Shen’s words.

The fierce wind howled.

A giant palm slapped down—

Rumble!

Gu Shen’s brow ignited with intense light and fire.

He raised the Fire Extinguishing Sword, aiming the tip at the giant before him.

It was actually a picture of extreme contradiction, a "Sword of Concept" that could extinguish all the firelight of the world, yet spared "Chi Huo’s" glow.

A man of fire, wielding the Fire Extinguishing Sword.

"Since that’s the case, let’s settle the matter by force."

Gu Shen softly said, "After all, I just wanted to see the stone tablet... and vent some of the resentment in my heart."

Slash!

A sound of explosion from the palm of the Black Snow Mountain Giant, that giant stared wide-eyed, incredulous, watching a beam of light shoot skyward, piercing through the back of its hand, the slap did not leave empty, but it caused no substantial harm to Gu Shen... the young man merely lifted the long sword, and the tip easily pierced through the stone palm of the "giant"!

Gu Shen was no longer suspended in mid-air but was standing on the back of the Black Snow Mountain Giant’s hand.

With a soft landing sound, followed immediately by the sound of earth and stone shattering, the thin Fire Extinguishing Sword in Gu Shen’s hand suddenly enlarged, he thrust it forcefully into the "flesh and blood" of the Black Snow Mountain Giant, then started running with the long sword, Sword Qi easily penetrated the giant’s hand through and through, then as Gu Shen ran quickly, the arm of the Black Snow Mountain Giant was split in two.

"Ah!!"

The roar echoed in the sky, but the emotion mixed in the sound was mostly pain.

The Black Snow Mountain Giant extended another arm, intending to slap the "ant" running recklessly on his body, but with heavy slaps, Gu Shen leaped into the air, dodging the powerful yet "too slow" move, eventually the giant clapped and broke his own arm—

The earth emitted a resonant hum!

The Black Snow Mountain Giant howled and launched an attack on Gu Shen!

However, this was never a battle of equal strength...

Every punch, every palm, Gu Shen did not evade, instead met with his sword, and then easily pierced through the "flesh and blood" on the giant’s hand, carving down!

In the last restart, controlling the Destruction Origin, the Rust Bone fiercely battled the Black Snow Mountain Giant, suppressing it.

The battle situation of these two was about sixty-four, approaching seventy-thirty.

But now, with the awakening of "Chi Huo" and wielding the Fire Extinguishing Sword, Gu Shen... the fight with the Black Snow Mountain Giant, was a solid ten-zero.

Because the shell cut and cleaved by the "Fire Extinguishing Sword" could not be repaired, nor reborn, all the "Extraordinary Power" contained within this shell was emptied by the Fire Extinguishing Sword; with every sword Gu Shen swung, another piece of the Black Snow Mountain Giant’s bone was permanently shaved off, a thousand-foot mountain stood on flat ground, but now being sliced down sword by sword!

The more intense the giant’s desire to attack, the faster "death" came!

The Traveler Tribe divided half of the "Sacrificial" to come and assist the leader in attacking Gu Shen... but after the awakening of Chi Huo, Gu Shen’s "two domains" were no longer sealed.

The fire of life plus the creator directly unfolded, instantly covering the entire area within a kilometer radius!

Thousands of Sacrificial charged into the domain, unable to even scream, were immediately "dissolved"!

At this moment, the power Gu Shen exhibited was no longer just "Origin Level" combat strength.

The reason why Origin Strong People are Origin Strong People is because their "limit" is only up to here...

And Gu Shen had already fused the Netherworld Fire.

Even though the fire seed hasn’t completely fused now... but behind the Quasi-God title, it’s still God.

This great battle quickly came to an end.

With the Fire Extinguishing Sword aiding, it took Gu Shen only a little effort to cut down the Black Snow Mountain Giant by half, leaving only half a shell, it has to be said that the will of this top tier Extraordinary Life was very tenacious, still wanting to launch an attack on Gu Shen till now.

Its wide-open lips were still brewing "wind pressure."

But standing on the pinnacle of the giant’s skull, it was a "blind spot" the wind bullet simply couldn’t reach.

"Netherworld King..."

The Black Snow Mountain Giant’s trembling voice still wanted to speak.

This big guy’s intelligence really wasn’t too high.

Over and over, it was just these few words, perhaps it’s the influence of the Origin Will on it.

Trying to negotiate here would most likely fail.

The Origin Will wouldn’t allow Gu Shen to leave so "smoothly," so a battle with the Traveler Tribe was almost an inevitable event.

"Slash!"

Gu Shen slashed down softly from the Heavenly Spirit, thoroughly silencing it.

"How many times has it been, is it never-ending... did the Netherworld King owe you?"

Pulling out the long sword, he frowned and asked, "Besides... what does it matter to me, the current Netherworld King, about what the previous Netherworld King owed you?"

"..."

The giant no longer spoke, the Fire Extinguishing Sword destroyed its last "Extraordinary Spirit," and this black snow mountain thus ushered in true Silent Annihilation, while the vast Traveler Tribe did not stop attacking because of this, instead became even more frenzied.

Gu Shen came to the stone tablet, he sat cross-legged.

Comprehending ancient scriptures requires extreme focus, no distraction is allowed.

And now.

All the interfering factors had been "cleared."

Gu Shen opened his domain, enveloping the entire Black Snow Mountain within it, then he stretched out his palm, gently touching the stone tablet, inserting nine streams of Heart Flow Power into the tablet.
