Light Fortress Chapter 2059 - 82: Rain Is Coming
Previously on Light Fortress...
The thick fog of the [Snow Cage] gradually dispersed.
After Gu Nanfeng left the high tower, Mr. Ghost and Mr. Xue fixed their gaze deadly on the Sky Sheath Core Area. These two Prison Directors elevated the alert level of the Tundra Prison to the highest.
Everyone was on high alert.
Such a state of alert and war readiness did not last long. As dusk was engulfed by dawn, suddenly a majestic thunderbolt fell from the skytop!
With a thunderous roar!
The mist in the Sky Sheath Core Area was torn apart by the thunder, and the towering Stone Sword remained upright.
But the enchantment near the Stone Sword was swept clean.
It was vaguely visible.
A white-clothed figure bathed in thunderlight.
"You... you just attained the Extinguishing Candle like that?"
The Traveller’s voice was full of disbelief.
In his plan, a return to the peak wasn’t supposed to be easy; the "Soul Awakening" of his true self was only the first step. The next step was to reclaim [Extinguishing Candle], reforge [Spark]; each step was exceedingly difficult.
So, even though his soul had already revived, he still resided within the Tomb Ghost’s skin.
He had plenty of patience.
Having chosen "reincarnation" for re-cultivation, there was only one chance, he would wait until the time was ripe, to accomplish everything in one fell swoop!
The Traveller wasn’t worried about someone taking the [Extinguishing Candle] ahead of time.
Firstly, because his actions back then were extremely clean.
Secondly, because the power contained within the Sky Sheath wasn’t something ordinary mortals could resist. Even the Divine Throne wouldn’t casually touch the surface of this Stone Sword!
But now...
His plan had already shattered.
As the fog dispersed, the white-clad Bai Xiu withdrew his hand from the surface of the Sky Sheath, holding an "invisible" longbow in his palm. Under the wash of countless thunderbolts, the snow-white lightning composed the bowstring and body of this large bow, but in reality, the thunderlight was just a form of spirit projection.
Upon receiving this large bow, Bai Xiu’s whole aura changed.
"This is... the Extinguishing Candle?"
Bai Xiu took a deep breath.
Holding his breath and concentrating, this invisible bow was extremely heavy in hand and required a firm grip to grasp it!
Bai Xiu slowly raised his arm, lifting it above his head for a careful inspection.
The thunder roared.
Suddenly, he drew the bow and nocked an arrow; in an instant, the bow became a full moon!
An invisible arrowhead whistled and condensed amidst the thundering, with thousands of strands of wild wind gathering between Bai Xiu’s two pinched fingers—
"Boom rumble rumble rumble!"
For a while, the entire Snow Cage was shadowed by wind pressure!
The Traveller, being aimed at by [Extinguishing Candle], changed his expression drastically. He instinctively wanted to move, but the despair of being locked by "destiny" arose from Heart Lake!
He knew, [Extinguishing Candle] wouldn’t miss.
As long as the bow was released, it would certainly hit.
"You seem to be afraid."
Bai Xiu calmly said: "Don’t be afraid, as long as you agree to obediently make a Soul Oath, I won’t kill you."
"???"
The Traveller’s face turned extremely gloomy.
Is this offering a choice?
There was no choice at all!
...
...
The news of Bai Xiu obtaining [Extinguishing Candle] spread immediately.
The high-ranking members of the Three-Continent Alliance all became aware of the movements on the Tundra side.
Bai Xiu also brought another major news.
That was the "Traveller’s true self" awakening within the Tomb Ghost chose to make a Soul Oath. As long as he melts the Central City Spark, he would participate in the war against the Source Tower!
Lin Lin and Lin Chou didn’t hesitate and immediately dispatched a Source Energy Boat to the Tundra...
To them.
Achieving ascension in Central City was important, but winning the war against the Source Tower in front was even more critical!
Over the years, the Empress’s furnace had already accumulated a large amount of fire source.
Even if the "Traveler’s Spark" was taken out, Central City could still maintain its ascension momentum and continuously provide radiation supply to surrounding city-states for several years!
Gu Nanfeng, participating in a funeral in Changye, also made a decisive decision to inventory the Heavenly Sheath Weapons and promptly initiate the total attack against the Source Tower.
This decision was agreed upon by Meng Xizhou.
Everyone was waiting for this day to come...
Now, with the Traveller making a Soul Contract, the newly ascended Light God’s Seat, and Bai Xiu holding [Extinguishing Candle], along with over three hundred Heavenly Sheath Weapons, these cards combined formed a thick pile of chips.
The Three-Continent Alliance decided to end it all.
They would wait no longer.
Perhaps sensing something unusual, the war at the Gu Castle Battlefield on the North Continent suddenly became much more "intense", and the Traveler Tribe dispatched a large number of "Sacrificials" to launch a massive attack on the entire Northern Continent Defense Line... This level of assault left the North Continent Army unable to withdraw, making the northern warzone extremely tense.
But this couldn’t change anything.
Due to the extreme solidity of the giant wall, the impact of Sacrificials on other forts in the Frontier was completely intercepted.
The battle situation at Gu Castle Battlefield became dozens of times more intense, with more than sixty percent of the main force of the three major armies concentrated here.
The more tragic the North Continent became!
The "total attack" intention of the alliance high-ranking emerged even more strongly!
...
...
The Source Tower, this place revered by millions as the Land of Divine Miracles, had been in Silent Annihilation for five consecutive years.
For five miles around, it was classified as a restricted area.
Currently, at the Source Tower, there was no longer such a thing as a "Divine Envoy", Qinglong handed all management rights of Central Continent to [Deep Sea] before entering the Divine War.
Whether crown-bearers, Divine Envoys, or ten-star priests.
The meaning of their existence was merely to "manage" their subordinate lower-ranking transcendent as high-ranking transcendent.
[Deep Sea] alone was an army of thousands.
