Chapter 199: Chapter 186 Bengxue

"This dream was actually a forcibly established spiritual link."

"Although it’s the release of the ’Dissolving Dream’ ability... in essence, it’s similar to the Ghost Cage. Xiao didn’t have control over Zhou Yu, the body he was inhabiting was simply an enchanted object capable of free movement."

"So, in this dream, you are the ’guest,’ and he is also the ’guest.’ The real host is already dead."

The host was dead, yet the ’Dissolving Dream’ remained.

This indeed felt like an enchanted object that autonomously emitted power.

"All forcibly established spiritual links have a way to break free... it is essentially like a door, if you can enter, you can also exit. It’s just that entering is easy, exiting is hard."

This principle was not difficult to understand.

Anyone can submerge into a dream; this was not an insurmountable thing.

But not everyone could complete the Dream Interpretation...

"Xiao’s relationship with the ’Dissolving Dream’ is very subtle. He possesses the ’Dissolving Dream’ but cannot control it..." Chu Ling watched the Light Barrier above, under immense pressure, a fine crack appeared on the barrier.

A roaring blaze.

"So, within this ’Dissolving Dream,’ his authority was limited to merely ’seeing.’"

"That’s why... he set the game rules in advance, and only appeared after the ’Dissolving Dream’ images ended. All the daggers drawn at the end were due to his insufficient ability; he had been observing all along," Chu Ling said, "To unlock the ’Dissolving Dream’ is extremely difficult, but you’re the famed S-Class, breaking the record for deciphering three nightmares in a row. If you hold the key to leaving the ’Dissolving Dream,’ then the final killing move in the dream is meaningless."

Gu Shen understood.

"If I complete the Dream Interpretation... I can escape at any time..."

"That’s right."

"He can see your performance in this dream and concluded you couldn’t complete the Dream Interpretation within his control, which led to this spirit devouring," Chu Ling said, "The method to break the impasse lies in this..."

"All spiritual links that can be forcibly established can also be forcibly broken... for instance, I entered this ’Dissolving Dream’ without an invitation."

Gu Shen suddenly realized that every "spiritual link" Chu Ling established with him was done forcibly.

Even within Han Dang’s ’Truth Domain.’

Even in the dream, Chu Ling could establish a link with him!

If every door in the world has a key, then the one she holds is the... master key!

"I can forcibly send your spirit out of the ’Dissolving Dream.’"

"Everything has an order. In the brief moment when I forcibly break the link... no one knows how many seconds, perhaps only a millisecond, you’ll have the chance to kill Zhou Yu’s physical form in reality."

"With Xiao’s style, if this spirit devouring is interrupted, he’d self-detonate and release an unowned ’Dissolving Dream.’ If the Extraordinary Ability goes out of control, no one knows what might happen; maybe the entire Freedom Hall would be instantly destroyed... but if his spirit is trapped in the ’Dissolving Dream’ and his physical form is executed, the physical death would lead to the dissolution of the ’Dissolving Dream.’ According to Mr. Turing’s summarized Extraordinary Iron Law, the massive Extraordinary Essence would dissipate, everything would return to the void."

Gu Shen held his breath.

He vaguely sensed the heavy burden on his shoulders, at this moment... everyone’s fate lay in his hands, the two Titled Transcendents didn’t know what was happening in the dream.

They had an information discrepancy.

"So..."

Gu Shen’s voice was hoarse, like a young lion: "You forcibly break my spiritual link with the ’Dissolving Dream,’ send me out, I kill Zhou Yu... it’s over, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Ling said, "The opportunity is one-time. The bullet... is also one."

Zhou Yu’s body possessed an immensely strong physique, to end the life of such a "Titled" being in an instant... Gu Shen could only think of one way.

Bengxue.

That bullet was threaded with a red string, worn on his chest as a peace charm... according to his teacher, as long as it hit, this bullet could take anyone’s life within Da Du.

When saying this, Zhou Jiren implied himself, too.

A bullet enough to kill a "top-level Titled."

"...Let’s begin!"

Gu Shen did not hesitate. As he let out a low roar, the scene before his eyes changed rapidly, his spirit darting like lightning, the colliding blaze and blood veil before his eyes turning into bubbles.

In an instant, he returned to reality.

Zhou Jiren from the tower and Gu Zhi from the hall’s open space both felt Gu Shen’s spiritual power return... and even these two Titled Transcendents didn’t react in that single moment.

Gu Shen fiercely reached for the red string.

Simultaneously, the snow-white flowing light in his palm roared, and the Truth Ruler, which had long been ready, surged with silver brilliance—

A mechanical sniper rifle materialized in thin air, he hefted it, the gunstock against his shoulder!

The snow-white bullet was loaded into the chamber.

Under the night sky, the stirring final symphony sounded like a requiem at a funeral.

With a "bang!"

The gunshot.

A snow-white, tragic line cut through the tower, the hall, through swirling grass and frost.

Shattering the nocturne of the night.

In an instant.

The entire world fell into silence.

Gu Zhi stared in shock at the boy standing on the rooftop under the great moon with the rifle.

Zhou Jiren, hidden under the eaves of the tower, had a complex expression, standing like a wooden sculpture, letting the cigar in his mouth burn into ashes that fell onto his pristine white suit.

The two Titled Transcendents... were struggling to digest this scene.

"Zhou Yu," with his arms spread in a pose of awaiting judgment, had a bullet hole through his forehead. This shot was incredibly precise, the bullet cutting through his Heavenly Spirit, creating a narrow and tight hole, blood gushing out.

It was an ironic scene... Xiao had invited various holy beings to judge him.

The Grand Judge, the Fortress Titled, none had succeeded.

The final execution was carried out by...

A seemingly insignificant small bullet.

And a weak young man with strength only at the Deep Sea Third Layer.

That black robe shredded by the night wind, the logic of this body shattered completely, without a physical form, the spirit became an elusive thing.

Therefore, Zhou Yu, who should have died ten years ago, met his true end at this moment.

The once-arrogant mirth in his pupils faded, turning gray, as if returning to his true self in his final moments of life.

A light breeze blew.

Someone fell heavily.

The fragmented dream hovering over the Dadu District shattered with the wind.

Dissolving Dream, released.
