Light Fortress-Chapter 1380 - 169: Embers of Extinction_3

...

...

Gu Shen’s consciousness entered the Pure Land World!

Beneath the swaying trees, there appeared an ancient house—

This was a foreign object, so it couldn’t produce any original essence and couldn’t currently accept the "nourishment" of the Pure Land. It simply rooted itself in the soil, emanating an aura entirely different from the Pure Land, appearing somewhat abrupt at first glance.

Gu Shen stood in front of the ancient house.

He extended his palm, pressing it against the wall, and to ensure safety, he re-sensed the "barrier" of the ancient house.

"The barrier still exists..."

Gu Shen murmured, "But this is my world, I can do anything I want."

He exerted strength with his five fingers.

While the barrier remained "intact," Gu Shen easily pushed open the door of the ancient house.

Inside was total darkness.

"Light."

Gu Shen uttered a word.

Words command the law.

Countless light sources ignited here, then swiftly extinguished again, leaving the room in extreme darkness once more.

Gu Shen furrowed his brows.

He snapped his fingers, this time igniting not ordinary light, but his Chi Huo—

The Chi Huo that carried the authority of "Netherworld Fire"!

"Whoosh..."

In the confined space, the fierce sound of a blowing wind emerged out of nowhere!

Gu Shen straightened up, expressionless as he watched the scene before him. In the center of this house, hidden by the Light Church, hovered a pitch-black piece of paper.

This was the reason the room remained in darkness.

The paper greedily absorbed the world’s light—

Even the Chi Huo was not spared!

However.

The grade of Chi Huo was no lower, so at this moment in the ancient house, there appeared a highly contradictory scene, where countless flames were pulled, yet never absorbed into the dark paper.

Gu Shen cautiously moved closer, examining it intently.

"Is this the sealed item that sees through the ’truth’?"

A torn page.

As if ripped from an ancient book.

Only... upon close inspection, this sealed item isn’t entirely dark; it seems to emit a rhythm like human breathing, alternating between light and dark.

"Is this a page from a book?"

Gu Shen didn’t rashly reach out to take it. He vaguely felt that this sealed item must be closely related to Light City’s southward movement this time...

"The Light Church wants to convert ’believers’."

Chu Ling spoke, "They need a large amount of ’incense’. Thinking carefully... this incense might not only be to fill the vacancy of the Holy Judge but also possibly to fill other objects."

Gu Shen reached out and grabbed.

A wisp of an unconscious soul from afar in the Pure Land was captured and brought here, a servant in his own world.

That soul entered the ancient house, instantly turning pale. Even without consciousness, it still showed great fear... partly to Gu Shen, the Master of the World, and partly to this page from the ancient book.

"Swish!"

Gu Shen released his hand, and the soul was instantly absorbed by the ancient book.

The soul... was also a fire!

The pitch-black ancient book emitted the rhythm of breathing again, with dense ancient text briefly appearing on the torn page. After extinguishing, the devoured soul was expelled once more.

It emitted a dim light of extinguished ashes, which along with the ancient book’s rhythm, pulsed together...

At this moment, the soul no longer seemed as terrified as before.

It raised its head, looking at Gu Shen. Even the fear of the World Master had vanished. After a glance, this soul rushed directly toward Gu Shen!
