Chapter 460: Chapter 100: The Breaker

Blood Fire wafted within the tomb.

Eventually, it turned into broken ashes.

Gu Shen showed no mercy and devoured the wisp of blood-colored flame with "Chi Huo," just as he had expected, the power contained within the priest of this "Sandini Singh" was very weak.

Xiao must have been prepared to sacrifice this body long ago.

Indeed a person of courage.

Just leaving such a tiny amount of Blood Fire Power... He dared to trek thousands of miles into the tundra. Was he not afraid of dying halfway?

Gu Shen looked down at his palm. A wisp of Chi Huo, having absorbed the "Blood Fire," seemed somewhat richer, a subtle change hardly noticeable to the naked eye.

Perhaps Xiao was right... there was somehow some connection between him and me.

Chi Huo and Blood Fire were in a relationship of mutual consumption.

But... was it really the "Gene Act"?

How much of what this guy said could be believed?

Gu Shen turned and looked at the empty coffin... There was nothing there. He had entered the tomb with Xiao and had watched him open this coffin. Xiao said he had obtained the "thing he wanted"?

But the coffin was empty.

Nothing was taken by anyone.

"True or false... true or false... He could deceive me, but could he still deceive himself?"

Without thinking further, Gu Shen quickly approached the coffin.

His purpose for coming to the Snowfield was for the "Lamp of Sorrow"!

Whether it was Bengxue Bullets or the secrets of the tomb, they were unexpected "surprises"... The priority was to get the item in hand!

The entire base’s alarm had already gone off, and those guys outside must have realized something was wrong.

"I am dealing with the base’s security system... someone is already heading this way," Chu Ling said gravely, "You need to be quick."

Gu Shen nodded.

He crouched down and found an old "lamp" among the many grave goods in the coffin.

Having endured the long passage of time.

The exterior of this ancient lamp was worn and covered in a layer of gray dirt... At first glance, it did not look like the same type of lamp found in the wooden house at the pinnacle of Divine Temple Mountain.

But Gu Shen scanned it with his spiritual power.

His two fingers came together, Chi Huo swirled and gathered, slowly rubbing across the surface of the lamp—

With a "sizzle."

Dust splattered!

Dusty lamp, as if it were a stone sculpture, had its covering lifted, and under the ardent heat of Chi Huo, this old, unremarkable lamp revealed its true face!

One of the four Copper Human Lamps, the Lamp of Sorrow!

"The material carrier of the Copper Human Lamp... there’s also a layer of disguise on the surface..." Gu Shen muttered to himself internally.

This lamp, deeply hidden within the tomb, had thus not been discovered.

Perhaps the other three lamps were exposed, but over the years the Li Family was unaware of their existence and did not make contact, hence nothing unusual was found.

This information was crucial. Once back, it must be conveyed to the Li Family. Perhaps utilizing the power of the Li Family... they could find the whereabouts of the other three lamps!

Because it lacked "spirit," this lamp retained only the unique attribute of "ancient."

Once outside, it was nothing more than an "antique."

Ordinary people might cherish it, keeping it safe as a treasured artifact.

But a Transcendent wouldn’t spare it a second glance... It was merely an old object, nothing of concern, not even a sealed item!

This was actually a good thing.

If the Li Family launched an effort to search for the "ancient lamps," they wouldn’t be obstructed by other Extraordinary Forces.

With a "thud!"

A dull thumping sound came from the darkness!

"Gu Shen... someone is trying to breach the security door outside,"

Chu Ling warned, "I’ve locked down the tomb using the security system, but they’ve sensed something is wrong. In three more minutes, they will be able to break in."

Gu Shen looked deeply at the coffin.

The grave goods in the ancient coffin were not abundant, these ancient artifacts, each perhaps holding secrets unknown!

Just like this "Lamp of Sorrow"... Xiao had not recognized its origin!

He didn’t want to just flee.

Instead, he wanted to take all these "good things" with him!

In the distance, the sound of the first security door shattering echoed. Fanatical followers of the Late Bell Church had begun to storm the tomb.

"How long will it take to prepare to destroy the base’s security system and cut off all power supply?"

Gu Shen asked quietly, slipping on an iron shirt over his body, picking up a ring, and collecting the dropped grave goods, placing them back into the opened vertical coffin while doing so. He glanced at the "ancient text" carved on the surface of the vertical coffin.

Using it when needed feels insufficient.

Although he had studied for a while with Master Qianye... Gu Shen couldn’t recognize a single character on the ancient coffin.

However, Chu Ling recognized a few and earnestly said, "This is not difficult, can be done anytime, the ancient text on this coffin can be found in the database... it should be genuine, but analyzing and deciphering will take time."

"No time left," Gu Shen said.

He raised his hand and released a wisp of Chi Huo. The flame, capable of devouring even the points of order collapse, formed a thin layer of fireflies, extremely subservient, it retracted its lethal intent and flowed along the surface of the ancient coffin, seeping into the back of the vertical coffin.

The hard giant wall of the tomb emitted a slight crackling sound—

As if a delicate ice knife was making cuts.

"What is this...?"

Chu Ling, sitting inside 001, saw this scene and expressed surprise.

"Since they’ve been relentlessly drilling behind the giant wall day and night... I might as well help them completely break through this stone wall," Gu Shen said gravely. "It’s up to you next. The moment these madmen break through the door, cut off the entire security system completely. The number of Transcendents in the Late Bell Church who can use ’spiritual power’ is not many. With the security system destroyed, most will be effectively blinded."
