Capítulo 1208: Chapter 89: You Are the Key
Gu Shen flipped his hand and slashed Han Dang in half!
The next mont.
This madman repaired his body and pounced again.
By this point, the life-and-death duel had lost its aning, leaving only the monotonous repetition of strikes and collisions… An out-of-control person with an empty domain of “Truth” but lacking combat consciousness, no matter how wild he becos, cannot defeat a rational person also possessing “Truth”.
Gu Shen cut at Han Dang, blade after blade.
He watched the flesh he sliced away and the vibrant “Heavenly Sheath Fragnts” mixed within, realizing that this battle was more like a “newcor’s training ground”.
The devil unleashed all permissions because there was no more suitable “practice battle” than this.
If I aim to ascend the Netherworld King’s Throne in the future.
Then what lies ahead is battling Divine Thrones wielding various Fire Seed Level Taboo Powers… “Truth” belongs to the weaponry of that tier of battle, so in lower-tier duels, no matter how it’s used, it will always crush the opponent.
Similarly.
If it wasn’t standing here today but soone else.
None among the two continents’ Law Enforcers would be in the position I’m in now.
Their likely outco would be a tragedy.
The mont Han Dang grasped “Truth”, he elevated his “threat” to non-Fire Seed faction Transcendents to the peak, within the harsh post-explosion environnt, the only ones with the chance to slay Han Dang unhard are the Divine’s Apostles wielding Tokens.
Except for Gu Shen, no one else could accomplish it.
Bai Xiu… Most likely cannot either.
Under the constraints of several special conditions, at this mont, only Gu Shen can have a “mutual exchange” fight against Han Dang.
Similarly.
The only one who can have a “mutual exchange” fight with Gu Shen is Han Dang.
An opponent with perfectly balanced strength, a battle with a predetermined outco.
For Gu Shen, this completely feels like an experiential battle to sense the strength of “Truth”.
The devil is demonstrating the power of “Truth” to him.
This supre, alluring authority.
…
…
In the Frozen Lake, two silhouettes repeatedly collide and separate.
Such back-and-forth clashes happen over and over.
The frenzied Han Dang knows no fatigue.
Gu Shen, who confronts using a responsive stance, has no choice… Each slash of his blade cuts away Han Dang’s shell, but the battle does not end; this madman is completely insane, constantly deceiving himself, and the broken body will regrow in an instant.
For Gu Shen.
The aning of this duel is no longer about killing Han Dang.
He’s gradually familiarizing himself with mastering “Truth”. When this ruler completely submits to one person, every swing of its blade brings irresistible power… The ruler’s master can effortlessly conduct “cross-tier” battles and can utilize “Truth” power to eliminate anything they find objectionable.
Yet fate had already marked its price behind the scenes.
Every use of the ruler leads to descending into the “abyss”. In the end… what will beco.
Likely the sa as Han Dang.
So Gu Shen remains ntally focused.
His sole objective from start to finish: quickly kill Han Dang, then reseal the ruler, both “Truth” and “Verity” require energy consumption, and when Han Dang’s stored source quality is exhausted, that’s when all this will end!
After nearly a thousand domain clashes.
Finally, Gu Shen awaited his chance… Han Dang’s source quality neared depletion, his spirit attained a rare “clarity”.
“Shhh!”
A blade light split open half of Han Dang’s body. This ti, the repair from “Truth” beca sluggish, not as swift as before; Gu Shen followed up with another slash, and “Truth” continued reparation.
The blade light was dense.
Now, Han Dang no longer possesses the strength to clash… completely suppressed by the blade light, the power of “Verity” is also fading, the two continue descending below the Frozen Lake, finally crashing upon a massive reef.
Gu Shen sheathed his blade and stood, the silver light did not hastily transform into the ruler but remained in “blade form”, pressed against the rocky Frozen Lake floor.
The man lying “on the ground” Han Dang was emitting nurous fine blood threads.
Each thread was touched by Gu Shen’s sword energy.
Gu Shen refrained from further strikes as he sensed Han Dang’s spirit… seed to recover.
The man lying on the reef, his shell seeping fine dense blood strands.
“Uh…”
A deep moan leaked from his throat, akin to both a roar and a sob.
But the sound didn’t echo.
Not because the Frozen Lake water was too cold.
But because Gu Shen’s final slash swept clean through here—
A neat blood line surfaced from his neck, this slash had completely separated his head from his neck, and now appearing “whole” only because he remained lying.
The blackness in Han Dang’s eyes slowly dissipates as his consciousness returns.
This occurs not due to his strong will overcoming “out-of-control”.
Just because… he’s nearing death.
Han Dang’s “Verity” crumbled first, he couldn’t afford the “Truth” price at this mont, so he reverted to the brutal reality of the world, and his ntal state miraculously returned to brief clarity.
A long life like a fleeting film appeared in his mind.
Except.
The out-of-control person has no right to mory.
Within the “Snow Cage”, he had already gone mad… no matter how he recalled, the mories could only stretch to here… the subsequent images were fragnted, thunder, blizzard, frozen lake, sinking.
In his mind, only incomplete, shattered images remain.
Han Dang widened his eyes, trying to lift his head; he instinctively yearned for his teacher’s presence…
Yet this frozen lake was too desolate.
Nothing could be seen.
He raised his separated head, finally only seeing a young man standing with a blade.
“Gu Shen…”
Han Dang astonishingly gurgled a muddled syllable from his throat.
He whimpered to speak.
The next instant.
Gu Shen sliced through his head, retrieving the “Truth Ruler”, releasing a long breath within the Frozen Lake’s darkness, operating “Winter Breathing”, sensing the boundless lifeless silence, recovering from the side effects of using “Truth”.
“Truth” itself, every second brings imnse consumption.
His spirit had nearly reached exhaustion.
Fortunately, Han Dang couldn’t hold on first, or by the battle’s end, I certainly wouldn’t appear as “relaxed” as now, the aftereffects from overuse require at least half a month’s rest to recover.
Sitting cross-legged atop the icy reef, Gu Shen paused briefly; the first thing after regaining strength was extracting “Miracle Silver” to reseal the “Devil”.
He had already witnessed the terrifying nature of this weapon.
Even having suggested self-restraint, not using excessively… yet every mont of grasping it still faltered due to the pleasure.
Even amidst the recent duel, a secret longing had erged.
He wished Han Dang could persist longer.
So he could wield “Truth” for a little while more.
“Getting addicted to this wretched thing will get one killed.”
While still maintaining sanity, Gu Shen swiftly resealed the ruler.
Then, he lifted his head, gazing above the frozen lake.
According to prior arrangent, after the “Child” blast, he was expected to return to the surface within five minutes, providing a safety signal.
But Mr. Gu and the others would surely not expect.
After the “Child” explosion, Han Dang hadn’t died…
I need to deal with Han Dang first.
Now that the fight is over, many repeated five minutes have passed, they are likely worried stiff up there?
“A lot of ti has passed; they shouldn’t mind a bit longer.”
Gu Shen wasn’t in a rush to ascend.
He sat before Han Dang’s corpse, comncing the extraction of “Heavenly Sheath Fragnts”.
Han Dang’s body still held a substantial amount of fragnts!
The most sensible action now is to quickly extract them while they remain active… With these fragnts, the yield of this battle matches the results gained from the two continents’ law enforcers laboring a whole month in the Tundra Region.
Just as Gu Shen prepared to extract fragnts.
A peculiar sensation suddenly arose in his heart.
Gu Shen instinctively looked up, regarding the origin point of the “Child” explosion, the subrged area of the “Green Royal Realm”…
A hoarse, faint voice.
Resonated from there, then arrived at Gu Shen’s Heart Sea.
“You are…”
“The key?”
