Light Fortress Chapter 2032 - 67: God Gu (Part 3)
Previously on Light Fortress...
The path of cultivation for the Divine Throne is indeed very lonely.
They no longer have opponents to speak of.
Unless there is a Divine War.
Otherwise... everyone is a "solitary traveler" on their path, and the true strength can only be known after a battle!
"Is this appropriate?"
Mr. Rust Bone hesitated a bit.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Gu Shen, but in the few times he interacted with Gu Shen, Gu Shen’s "combat power" wasn’t high.
And the "Destruction Origin" he comprehended is among the many origin powers, the one that enhances lethality the most, bar none!
This sword unsheathed is not just a simple sword qi.
Gu Shen took a few steps back, still as calm and composed as ever.
"Try and you’ll know."
Having said that, he stretched out his palm and gestured to Mr. Rust Bone, indicating that the latter could now draw his sword.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Rust Bone said nothing more.
He was originally the most belligerent among the three generals, and after cultivating the "Destruction Origin," the fighting spirit in his chest surged even more uncontrollably. Over the past four years, he had long wanted to find someone to have an exhilarating battle with.
But he couldn’t just pick a fight with Zhou Jiren, as that old fellow still carried old injuries. The Power of Destruction Origin was too domineering, and real combat might easily cause accidental harm.
Moreover, he was a generation older than Luo Er and Gu Shen, and as an elder, it wasn’t appropriate to actively seek out juniors for a spar.
"In that case... I will draw my sword!"
Mr. Rust Bone spoke in a solemn voice, directly drawing out the bronze longsword!
Buzz!
A resounding trembling sound, clear as a dragon roar, enveloped a radius of a hundred meters! The dark void was lit up by the dazzling sword qi!
Mr. Rust Bone aimed a slash at Gu Shen!
Looking at the black rainbow in front of him, Gu Shen shook his head. He didn’t even use the Power of Fire, merely infusing some of the "Destruction Origin" he comprehended over the past four years into his fingertips.
With a gentle flick of his finger.
Just a single crisp sound!
The destructive sword qi slashed down by Mr. Rust Bone was immediately shaken and dispersed, turning into ripples—
"Mr. Rust Bone, don’t hold back."
Gu Shen laughed lightly: "Please show all the insights you’ve gathered over the past four years... This sword is not for me to see, but for that ’Hunting Spark’ that rejected you."
Mr. Rust Bone’s expression froze.
His gaze instantly turned sharp, and his overall aura became imposing.
"Swish——"
The Power of Destruction Origin transformed into a gale, filling the entire cloak! Mr. Rust Bone ran two fingers over the blade of the bronze ancient sword, black thunder crackled, and wherever his fingers passed, the ancient bronze blade was dyed inch by inch with black ink!
A giant rose from the void, Gu Shen raised his head, watching the towering "Origin Image" in front of him raise its sharp longsword, as if to cleave open the entire chaotic void!
The tip of this sword was pointed at himself.
Gu Shen’s expression was somewhat solemn, yet a slight smile appeared on his lips...
This was the sword he wanted to see.
"Boom!!!"
Mr. Rust Bone summoned the origin image, exerting all his strength to thrust the longsword through the heavens and earth, slashing it towards Gu Shen!
Countless waves of energy exploded in the void!
But in the next moment, this black Destruction Origin was lifted by an even stronger power. Gu Shen, with no heaven-shaking phenomenon enveloping him, merely extended two fingers to casually catch the seemingly ten-thousand-pound Sword of Destruction!
Two strands of black, blazing flames swirled around his fingertips.
Gu Shen gently pinched the sword tip.
The flame immediately shot out, crashing into Mr. Rust Bone’s Destruction Origin!
With a cracking sound!
Starting from the sword tip, the giant pressing down with the longsword, as well as the "Destruction Origin" summoned by Mr. Rust Bone, all began to shatter! The continuous sound of jade breaking echoed! Piece by piece!
Mr. Rust Bone looked at the strand of flame hovering before him with a complex expression.
This battle...
Had no meaning from the beginning.
He knew that Gu Shen’s mastery over the Netherworld Fire had reached the "microscopic" realm. In their recent clash, Gu Shen completely crushed his Destruction Origin without causing himself any harm.
This sense of helplessness, he once deeply felt in front of the Empress.
Mr. Rust Bone murmured: "Four years... just four years... you comprehended the Netherworld King’s Spark..."
He truly didn’t expect Gu Shen to comprehend the spark so quickly.
Her Majesty the Empress, back then, took roughly ten years to reach this stage of melding the spark?
Gu Shen just smiled.
"No wonder you fear not the Storm God’s Throne. From your demeanor just now, you even seem to have the momentum to actively seek the Storm God’s Throne."
Mr. Rust Bone sighed: "So you’ve already achieved ’Divine Throne.’"
"Indeed, I intend to actively seek him out."
Gu Shen stated seriously, "There is someone very important to me aboard the Storm God’s Throne’s ship..."
The Red Dragon of the past, he had failed to rescue successfully!
If the Storm God’s Throne chose to flee to the Southern Continent, then the Red Dragon must be on the Storm’s starship!
The heavy stone in Mr. Rust Bone’s heart was completely set down at this moment. He laughed heartily: "Seeing your ’Netherworld Fire’, my heart feels much more at ease, Gu Shen, oh no... God Gu! When shall we fight our way over?!"
No wonder you’re from the North Continent!
Ready to fight at a moment’s notice, no fuss!
"Right now!"
Gu Shen liked Mr. Rust Bone’s temperament, he responded earnestly: "The Storm God’s Throne’s starship must be nearby, this opportunity is rare and must not be missed!"
