The blond man chuckled.
The blood fire rained down from the sky like rainwater, converging towards his body!
And he took off the chanical prosthetic eye, revealing an empty eye socket, now filled with crimson blood streaks.
"Because... there never was an ’Eye of Destiny.’
Adam lowered his head, looking at his hands, and said with a mocking smile, "This fool indeed found an eye in the [Tanyao] core area, and he indeed saw so illusions, but these were all outcos influenced by the ’Bloodfire Spirit.’ Everything he saw was what I wanted him to see. Before my consciousness invaded, he was always himself, and everything he said was the truth."
So that’s how it is.
Chi Huo is the most precise lie detector; the reason there were no anomalies before was because Xiao deceived Adam.
"Without the Eye of Destiny, those divinations..."
Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.
Since coming here, Adam had given more than one accurate prediction.
About Mr. Zhuang’s notes, about God’s Favored Son, about the Neutral!
He suddenly realized sothing very important... Xiao’s characteristic is "Spiritual Seizure," and with this trait, he cultivated a large Fanatic Foundation in the Dadu District.
Then during the three years residing on this Sangzhou Cave Island, what had Xiao’s spirit been used for?
To evade potential church hunts in the future.
Xiao dared not massively seize the minds of extremists, as once it involved the Storm Faith, it might provoke the Divine Throne’s intervention.
But seizing the "Extraordinary Creatures" on this island posed no danger!
No one cared about the life and death of these Extraordinary Beast Spirits!
Nor would anyone think that everything these seemingly foolish beast spirits did was aningful, and was controlled and directed by soone!
That’s why every beast tide outbreak was so coincidental!
Qi Mo and Zhuang Su both thought it was the "Divine Infant" influencing [Tanyao], but in fact, it was Xiao’s will driving the beast tide... Through the long three years, his spirit penetrated the volcano crust, spreading toward the island, and many Extraordinary Creatures were implanted with the Bloodfire’s Spiritual Mark.
And after the awakening experint began, nurous beast spirits gained consciousness and could instinctively seek fortune and avoid danger. A very few, sensing the danger of Bloodfire, launched an assault on the periphery!
For them——
The most terrifying existence was actually the invisible and intangible Xiao residing on the island!
Gu Shen remained silent while the cause and effect connected at this mont, explaining those seemingly peculiar small mysteries.
Shen Li was purposefully attacked by the beast tide, and Adam was snatched away by the Great Winged Sparrow, all under Xiao’s control.
"So the one who killed the Vermilion Bird... was actually you."
Gu Shen stared at the blond man in front of him.
No wonder he found it strange when he saw the Vermilion Bird!
It was very clear.
By the ti of their confrontation, the Vermilion Bird’s spirit had already been eroded by Bloodfire!
"Biologically speaking, the one who caused the Vermilion Bird’s heart to stop beating was you," Adam laughed. "You were the one who ground the Vermilion Bird to dust. What I did was not as malicious... He was suffocating beneath [Tanyao], and I gave him a breath. Theoretically, I was saving him."
"..."
Being able to say sothing like this, Gu Shen thought he had underestimated the shalessness of the person before him.
"And now, I want to save you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
He lifted his sword and brought it down in a fierce strike!
The Truth Arc Light splattered and roared, transforming into a long rainbow that pierced the earth. However, the ash of the mountain whirled and swirled, and the primal substance flowing within the sword light quickly depleted; this volcano was equivalent to a natural domain—
A natural domain suppressing all the Transcendents!
Adam didn’t even move.
He stood a hundred ters away, watching as the silver-white sword qi shredded through layers of sand and dust.
By the ti it reached him, only one-tenth remained.
"Hiss!"
Bloodfire surged forth, forming into a shield, colliding with the sword qi, directly extinguishing this ranged sword qi.
Adam chuckled softly.
And in the next instant, there was a blur before his eyes, as, after the sword qi shattered, a figure rapidly charged over.
Gu Shen had started running after he swung his sword, and was gathering strength!
The Truth vanished from sword form, transforming into countless silver rays enveloping his fist.
A punch strikes out!
Chi Huo and Blood Fire collide, this fist forcibly tears through the bloody barrier, smashing towards the blond man’s face!
Adam’s smile suddenly disappears from his face, he raises his arms crossed, assuming a defensive stance.
"Boom!"
Amidst the muffled sound, Adam is hit and sent flying, marking a long trench with his feet on the ground, after Gu Shen shatters the Blood Fire barrier, he shows no intention of stopping, a knee strike heavily hits the blond man’s abdon, making Adam cough out a mouthful of blood, followed by an elbow strike on the back, then countless punches and kicks pour out like a storm!
Chi Huo is Spiritual, Blood Fire is too!
If outsiders were to watch this battle, they would undoubtedly find it absurd and laughable.
Two top-level Spiritual Transcendents engaging in a fistfight...
Accurately speaking, it is one side crushing, ravaging the other!
In the beginning, Adam managed to block a few moves, but as Gu Shen unleashed his barrage, Adam could no longer protect himself, he could only hold his head to shield the face, the most important and fragile place, because Blood Fire dwells in the head.
And Gu Shen shows no rcy...
He knows this body belongs to Adam, but in battles of this level, there is no room for compassion, those whose spirits were seized by Xiao... the most likely outco is death.
Having fought Xiao multiple tis, he knows the host’s pain and sensory perceptions will transfer.
Since Xiao doesn’t care if Adam’s body is ravaged.
Then he also doesn’t care about ravaging Xiao’s spirit.
This beatdown lasted for over ten minutes, Gu Shen maintained an extrely high frequency of attacks, showing not a hint of exhaustion... if Xiao could endure, then he could keep going! Until he beats the original body owner Adam to death!
"Boom!"
A muffled thunder resounds atop Skytop.
Gu Shen’s act of pouring out murderous intent is ultimately interrupted by a Great Winged Sparrow King, countless black clouds like ink as large numbers of black sparrows dive down as if bewitched!
The Great Winged Sparrow group on Sangzhou Cave Island, generally possesses impressive strength.
And the leader of the entire group, the Great Winged Sparrow King, could reach the level of a Third-Order Transcendent.
This Great Winged Sparrow King is even more dangerous than the one that nearly killed Shen Li earlier, nearly infinitely close to Fourth-Order!
In ten minutes of getting purely beaten without any chance to fight back, Xiao’s spirit indeed suffers...
This is the solution he thought of.
Using external ans to interfere with the battle!
Countless black sparrows co to die —
Gu Shen has no choice but to abandon the act of continuing to beat Adam.
He lets out a cold laugh, the last slap presses onto Adam’s face, slamming him heavily into the ground, this strike is extrely fierce, embedding Adam’s head twenty centiters into the ground, his whole body inverted like a planted scallion, buried in the ground.
Imdiately after.
Gu Shen activates the [Iron Throne], a formation of one hundred and sixty-eight Iron Scale Flying Swords.
The black tide of Great Winged Sparrows engulfs him.
While the fierce saber light cuts through, bringing countless blood!
The sky darkens, mountain ash roars, within the black tide a gigantic Sparrow King lets out a sharp cry, spreading a full twenty-ter wingspan, like blades cutting through the dust.
Gu Shen doesn’t retreat, but turns around and starts running.
At the mont of collision, Gu Shen instantly unfolds the Pure Land Domain, surrounding the Great Winged Sparrow King with frost, slowing its speed, then Gu Shen draws the two daggers, Tear and Break Source, and stabs into the forehead of the Great Winged Sparrow King frozen by frost!
Boom!
The colossal falling sound shatters the black tide!
This Great Winged Sparrow King is killed in a single encounter, its body pinned onto the volcanic ground, the massive iron wings frozen by the Pure Land, then shattered by Chi Huo!
Gu Shen slowly stands up.
This group of Great Winged Sparrows, summoned temporarily, is slaughtered clean within seconds...
Amidst the black tide and pervasive blood aura, Gu Shen’s billowing Enforcer black robe appears rather eerie.
He looks expressionlessly at Adam, who supports himself with his elbows and sits up in the distance.
Chi Huo absorbs the pervasive blood aura in the air, the source matter of creatures, and the residual Blood Fire.
Adam looks at this crimson scene, can’t help but laugh.
"Tsk, it’s really hard to believe, this must be the strongest Third-Order in history, right?"
"With your current intensity of spirit and level of combat power. Just one more Breakthrough to reach Fourth-Order, you should be able to attempt integration with ’Fire Seed’, right?"
He extends a palm, slowly wiping the wound on his face, smiling as he asks, "Gu Shen... I’m not joking with you, I’m really here to save you. Haven’t you felt that there is an attraction between Chi Huo and Blood Fire? Don’t you want to know the relationship between the two?"
