In this deathly silent world, not a trace of life is visible. [The Tides] have cut off the last lifeline of the island of Sangzhou Cave, pushing it towards the Ice Sea, and even the living creatures on the island can distinctly feel the movent of the earth’s crust at this mont.
Thus, countless Beast Spirits flocked enthusiastically.
The mountain welcod an unprecedented violent tremor. This was the final "celebration" before these Extraordinary Creatures t their end. They had breached most of the city areas, and the Transcendents who needed to evacuate from Sangzhou Cave had all completed their retreat.
Amidst the heat wave, a tall man clad in armor extended his fingertip to gently touch a floating light speck before him.
This tiny speck of light instantly expanded upon contact, transforming into a round ball of blazing flas, like a miniature sun.
Within the light sphere appeared the face of Su Ye.
At this mont, the Blessed Saint’s eyes were golden, as were his strands of hair. He looked directly at the armored figure in the heatwave, his voice slightly hoarse: "Mr. Jia Wei, wherever you are... it’s ti to leave, this is the temple’s command."
With just these words, the fiery light sphere slowly dissipated, condensing back into a tiny light speck before vanishing amidst the blazing mountain ridges.
"..."
Jia Wei silently gazed at the world split open before him. The awakening of [Tanyao] had reached its final step. The rift, which once might have required only a few n to encircle, had expanded to nearly a hundred ters in radius after several days of volcanic ash spewing.
He stood on the rift’s edge, as though standing before a Heavenly Pit.
Following his intuitive sense, he had left the West Cave and made his way up the mountain, eventually arriving here.
Jia Wei, who believes in the guidance of light, felt the sudden surge of intuition leading him there, thinking perhaps there was sothing... but for now, it might have just been his imagination.
Only one thing would happen here.
That is, the eruption of [Tanyao], and the spewing of lava.
Su Ye was right, it was indeed ti to withdraw.
Once [Tanyao] erupts, at such close range... even with his S-class Protective Equipnt, he might not withstand such a disaster.
"Crack."
Just as Jia Wei turned, the volcano behind him once more exhaled a scorching breath.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
This top-tier fourth-tier’s reaction was extrely swift. With the current blaze spewing, he instantly sensed a familiar aura...
Hence, Jia Wei extended his palm.
The Light Breaking Spear instantly coalesced.
He grasped the Light Breaking Spear, turning back swiftly, his toes carving a deep pit in the ground. Amidst the roaring of the fiery wave, countless lights gathered in his palm to form a three-ter-long great spear. This spear heavily pierced through layers of fiery waves and countless volcanic ashes.
In just this thrust, it pierced through the black cloak’s chest.
"...?!"
Gu Shen’s expression was one of shock, blood seeping from the corner of his lips.
The speed of this strike was so fast that he couldn’t react at all.
Because this strike was purely coincidental.
Jia Wei, the strongest among the fourth tier, orchestrated a strike harnessed by the perfect timing, environnt, and instinct, purely driven by intuitive sense.
He was highly attuned to Gu Shen’s aura and had always been vexed by the lack of opportunity to privately resolve the "pri suspect" of the Blessed Son’s assassination case.
And at this mont, Gu Shen’s aura appeared.
Jia Wei made a decision in an instant.
Here, with countless ashes obscuring, spirits and authority lost effect, there was no better environnt for an "assassination" than now.
Thus, he acted decisively, thrusting out this spear—
Ti seed to freeze.
"Ugh..."
Gu Shen reacted to the assault, but it was already a bit late. The killing intent of the Light Breaking Spear inundated his body, and though he tried to break the spear with both hands, he couldn’t move it an inch.
"Gu Shen, we et again."
The gaze beneath the Bright Armor was both fiery and icy.
Jia Wei’s voice held no emotion: "It must be the will of the light that arranged for us to et here... Though I have no evidence, I have always believed, from beginning to end, that it was you who killed ng Xiao."
After a brief pause.
Jia Wei twisted the spear shaft, speaking coldly: "The truth from back then is probably... just like it is now."
The great spear was pulled out from Gu Shen’s chest.
Blood spurted wildly.
Gu Shen fell towards the base of Tanyao Mountain.
This scene was unseen, unheard, unnoticed by anyone.
