Chapter 472: Chapter 104 Inauspicious

"Hum!"

Storms splashed in the void!

The massive spiritual power roared like a tsunami, layer upon layer, ceaselessly thundering.

No matter how it shook, it could not break free from that unremarkable jade thumb ring. Seconds later, the tsunami subsided... The spiritual power of the Storm God’s Throne was entirely captured by the thumb ring, and the void returned to silence.

Gu Shen looked at the ring floating in front of him with a complex expression.

He carefully received it.

What on earth is this object?!

It could directly confiscate the "spiritual power" of a Divine Throne?

Although it was just a tiny wisp, it was a weight that mortals could not bear. This jade thumb ring was no ordinary object, and the tomb owner who treated the ring as a "funerary item" was even less ordinary!

Gu Shen slowly descended.

After the spiritual power of the Divine Throne dissipated, the storm of the great snow mountain was no longer fierce.

Gu Shen dialed the old man’s phone.

He briefly described the situation on the snow mountain and learned that the followers of the Southern Continent were preaching in the Tundra... The old man’s response was very decisive, as he would immediately set out for this place, and at the same time, the nearby forces of the Gu family would block off the snow valley.

In at most an hour, this place would be protected.

...

...

The old man would still need some time to get here.

Gu Shen treated his wounds and headed for the base of the Late Bell Church.

He wanted to investigate the "secrets" of this base alone.

The base’s security system was destroyed, and the alloy door no longer required a password. Gu Shen pressed his palm against the door, and the Iron Throne shattered the heavy door, but as the door broke apart, a surge of red silver and fresh blood spilled out... Gu Shen frowned, looking at the scarlet that drowned the snowfield.

Several minutes later.

The Truth Ruler turned into a small long sword, hovering about a meter above the ground, slowly flying.

Gu Shen stood on the Truth Ruler, and, just like the earlier "Mr. Zhuo," it amounted to sword flight. He released the Chi Huo, the bright glow hovering at the top of the mountain belly cave, illuminating the entire pitch-black base.

After the great battle.

The base of the Late Bell Church was completely destroyed, and here lay headless corpses... The silver foil of the Storm God’s Throne shone brightly in the river of red silver blood. Gu Shen did not overlook these detached Extraordinary Essence.

The Chi Huo feasted to its content.

"I found the information about that stone tablet in the database of the base..."

Chu Ling connected to the closed-loop system of the Late Bell Church and conducted the final information dissection. A clear image of the Ancient Stone Tablet was transmitted into Gu Shen’s mind.

"It seems that Xiao didn’t lie about this... The Late Bell Church really did excavate such a stone tablet."

Gu Shen arrived before the empty tomb.

After the giant wall was shattered.

The surface of the tomb was submerged by red silver. Gu Shen wanted to find traces of the "tomb owner’s" life here, as well as related information... He didn’t understand, why there was no body after the coffin was opened?

Where had the tomb owner gone?

In the flickering of Chi Huo.

Gu Shen engaged in retracing... He sat on the small sword, trying to twist the time from years ago. Everything in the tomb became shadows and light, red silver receded, the giant wall was restored, the ancient coffin returned to its place, human figures came and went, and eventually silence was restored.

The tomb was empty and serene.

A coffin, a wall, and beyond that... nothing else.

The sideways retracing fell into a standstill.

But Gu Shen knew that it wasn’t the retracing that had stopped.

It was that... for so many years, this tomb had always been quiet.

No one knows how long the retracing went on.

A tearing pain echoed through Gu Shen’s mind, as his spiritual power had reached its limit and could not retrace any further. Just as the retracing was about to end—

The shadows in the tomb underwent a transformation.

He saw a figure!

In the retracing of the fiery side-writing of time, reversing, reversing, then reversing some more... until finally returning to inside the coffin!

"This is..."

Gu Shen endured the severe pain of his spirit tearing apart.

Following the normal flow of time, he projected the scene—

Utter silence in the ancient tomb!

But suddenly, the coffin moved!

The unsealable coffin lid opened by itself... and from within emerged a "dry and blackened" figure.

The tomb owner... hadn’t died?

Seeing this scene, Gu Shen felt a chill rise up his back.

That "black shadow," pushing the door open from inside the vertical coffin, fell to the ground... It had not died, it was still alive, hunched and moving slowly, just so walking out from the tomb, and just as it was about to leave the edge of the sideway’s vision, the black figure suddenly paused.

It slowly turned its head.

Looking towards a certain direction inside the tomb.

Gu Shen’s hair stood on end.

The not-dead "tomb owner," the direction it looked... was not elsewhere, but precisely where he himself was at this moment!

"Tss."

The Chi Huo suddenly lit up.

Spiritual power reached its limit.

Gu Shen forcefully extinguished the "side-writing," and at the last moment, he already had an ominous feeling... Across the long years, was that "black shadow" actually staring at him?

Gu Shen had a premonition that if he didn’t withdraw his spiritual power soon... some kind of bizarre Transcendent phenomenon might occur.

"You... what’s wrong?"

The concerned voice of Chu Ling sounded: "Your spiritual state just now was very unstable."

"Just now I used side-writing... to see the scene of the tomb from many years ago."

Gu Shen steadied his breathing and slowly said, "The body in this ancient coffin wasn’t taken away by someone... it left by itself."
