Chapter 461: Chapter 100 Breaker_2

After he finished speaking, Gu Shen crawled into the ancient coffin and casually closed it over himself.

The space inside the coffin was very small.

Narrow and dark.

In the silent space, it seemed like his own heartbeat was the only sound he could hear.

Gu Shen gradually held his breath.

The next moment, his spiritual power completely retracted, like a lake of Spring Breathing slowly stretching out—

He became extremely calm.

The wait wasn’t long, but the moment he lay down in the coffin, Gu Shen had a strange feeling... He felt as if he was the "tomb’s master" from many years ago, dressed in iron clothes, wearing a ring, with a Copper Human Lamp in his embrace.

His wandering thoughts were quickly dragged back by the sound of the door being broken open!

With a "bang".

The tomb’s security door was directly breached, and at the same time, the entire base’s defense system was compromised. Chu Ling relentlessly conquered the base’s defenses, extinguishing all light sources. The base hidden within the belly of Snow Plain Mountain fell into complete darkness, and the church squad that crashed into the tomb quickly scattered, occupying the four corners of the tomb.

The whole process took a very short time, and besides the necessary noise from the forced entry, no other commotion arose.

This was a Transcendent squad rigorously trained.

The green-robed "Hypnotist", who had previously held a pocket watch, was now among the squad members, releasing her spiritual power into the darkness, searching for any unusual spiritual aura... The air was filled with a nauseating scent of blood, the Late Bell Church robe that Sandini Singh had worn was ignited by Blood Fire. At that moment, inside the tomb, it tore into countless pieces, scattering everywhere.

All this was enough proof—

Someone had broken in here.

However, as the "Hypnotist’s" spiritual power spread, enveloping the entire tomb, she found nothing... She was somewhat puzzled, her gaze questioning towards the leader of the squad.

That was a very tall man, covered in a snow-white robe, with a full beard. He gestured to the former to not be anxious; it was enough for the squad members to seal the tomb.

If the "Hypnotist’s" spiritual power didn’t catch the presence of a living being, there were two possibilities.

One possibility was that there was no living person in the tomb at all.

The second possibility... was that the opponent’s "spiritual power" was stronger than the Hypnotist’s!

After looking all around,

The tall man slowly approached the "ancient coffin".

...

...

Gu Shen had retracted all his spiritual power.

To seal himself within the coffin and block external probes... came at a cost.

At such a moment, he became blind himself.

But it didn’t matter.

He had "Chu Ling", who, after thoroughly breaching the security system, had full control over the entire base. She could clearly see every corner beneath the Snowfield ground.

At this time, Chu Ling became Gu Shen’s eyes.

The world beyond the coffin was synchronously transmitted to Gu Shen’s "eyes" by Chu Ling.

Every Transcendent was marked with a red dot.

And their detailed information from the database was annotated.

The squad sealing the tomb consisted of thirteen Transcendents. Judging by this size, there were probably three squads in the entire underground base. The tall man approaching the coffin was a Transcendent from the Deep Water Zone Sixth Layer... likely the leader of this squad. His strength was substantial, second only to the Seventh Layer outside.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Gu Shen’s breathing also neared silence.

He closed his eyes, as if he was in the midst of Chaos, blocking out the extraneous noise from outside his mind.

Gu Shen silently thought about what he had to do next, one thing, then another, then a third.

The more dangerous the moment, the clearer his mind became.

He had to think carefully about everything... because there wasn’t much time left. Once the silence was broken, a prolonged "battle" would ensue.

Rest not until death.

In front of the giant wall of the tomb.

The tall man reached out to touch the ancient coffin, frowning.

This coffin seemed to have been opened before.

And the next moment.

Gu Shen inside the coffin opened his eyes.

"Creak—"

The man made a motion to open the coffin, and the members of the Late Bell Church squad stationed at the four corners of the tomb, focused intently... Their gazes all converged on their leader.

As the coffin was opened, a streak of silvery light seemed to flash through the darkness.

A thin sliver of rust flew out from the coffin, thin as a cicada’s wings, sharp as a blade’s edge!

The Iron Throne!

A thin wisp of Chi Huo still clung to the shards of iron!

This time... it was no mere "sparring" where Shen Li stopped at just making contact!

Gu Shen struck with killing moves!

This was a battle to the death, with no room for even the slightest error!

Hiding in an ancient coffin, seizing the initiative, killing one first, only this way... could he create better conditions for his own escape!

The one opening the coffin was the strongest member of the squad.

For this, Gu Shen felt fortunate!

"Rip!"

The pupils of the squad leader contracted. Before opening the coffin, he had felt something was amiss. He gripped the long sword at his waist with one hand, but even so... it was too late!

The speed of that wisp of silver light was too fast!

He only had time to hear the sharp sound of it cutting through the air!

The next instant, rust brushed past his neck!

But... no heads rolled to the ground!

The leader of the Late Bell Church squad was sent flying back, his snow-white robe cleanly split in two. He planted his sword into the ground, his expression dark and furious, as a gurgling sound came from his throat and a red mark was scorched onto it.

The iron shard that flew out of the ancient coffin shattered into pieces!

The necklace hanging around his neck broke apart as well!

"A Defense Sealing Item that can resist physical attacks, huh..."

Gu Shen witnessed this scene.

His expression unchanged, his palm slightly pulled together, his fingers made a motion as if pulling on a thread, "Then... what about now..."

The assassination had failed.

But the blade edge condensed by the "Iron Throne" had still left a wound on the opponent’s skin.

After the rust shattered, the Chi Huo hidden within slowly seeped inside.

Gu Shen clenched his fist.

Chi Huo erupted.

The mighty "spiritual power" burst forth directly in the brain of the Strong Attack Type Transcendent from the Deep Water Zone Sixth Layer. The latter’s expression changed drastically, the scene before his eyes shifting rapidly. It was as if he had arrived in a brand new world.

Above the wilderness, leaves of grass twirled in the air.

A giant Throne hung suspended in the wind and the whirling debris.

The young man seated on the Throne gazed down quietly and indifferently upon himself...

He knew.

This was the Spiritual World of the opponent... he was finished.

"Captain! You can’t fall asleep!"

The green-robed female Hypnotist holding a pocket watch realized something was wrong.

The Captain’s consciousness was rapidly fading!

She shouted out loud, her watch quivering, trying to pull back the Captain’s spirit!

Too late.

Several squad members were still too shocked to react when they saw their Captain, who had been kneeling with his sword planted, smash his head towards the ground—

And at the moment he hit the ground.

It was like a watermelon bursting.

Mighty flames burst from his head, and the thick lava resembled a volcanic eruption.

The sight was utterly shocking.

The vivid "Chi Huo" splashed onto them like liquid.

The entire squad stood frozen in shock.

And before they could rush toward the ancient coffin, the giant wall that had been drilled for months between the tomb and the base began to crack and creak... the giant wall, after bearing too much, finally gave way.

With a "boom,"

The thin connection of the giant wall was drilled through by "Chi Huo," and the coffin suspended from the giant wall fell like a small boat off a cliff, smashing gravely towards the base behind the tomb along with tens of thousands of tons from the giant wall.

Gu Shen leaped out of the coffin.

In the darkness of night, it was as if a blazing Chi Huo burst forth!

Like fireworks.

The giant wall shattered, the base and the tomb opened up, and that strand of "fire" shot out from the ancient coffin, grasping everyone’s attention.

They looked up.

Then... fell into a Dream.
