Blood and fire drifted within the mausoleum.

Eventually, they transformed into shattered ashes.

Gu Shen showed no mercy, using "Chihuo" (Blazing Fire) to completely devour this wisp of blood-colored flame. As he expected, the power contained within this "Sandini Singh," the church priest, was extremely weak.

The Owl must have been prepared to sacrifice this body long ago.

Quite a resolute person.

Daring to travel thousands of miles with just this tiny bit of blood-fire power... wasn't he afraid of dying halfway?

Gu Shen looked down at his palm. After absorbing the "blood fire," a wisp of Blazing Fire became slightly more ruddy, a subtle change that was hard to detect with the naked eye.

Perhaps the Owl was right... there was some kind of connection between him and himself in the dark.

Blazing Fire and Blood Fire were in a relationship of mutual devouring.

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

How much of what this guy said could be believed?

Gu Shen turned his head to look at the empty coffin... there was nothing there. He had sneaked into the mausoleum with the Owl and watched him open the coffin with his own eyes. The Owl said he had obtained "what he wanted"?

But this coffin was completely empty.

No items had been taken away.

"Truth and falsehood... falsehood and truth... he can deceive me, but can he deceive himself?"

Without thinking further, Gu Shen quickly came to the coffin.

He had come to the snowy plains for the "Lament Lamp"!

The snow avalanche bullet, the secrets of the mausoleum, were all unexpected "surprises"... the priority now was to get the item in hand!

The alarm throughout the base had already sounded, and the guys outside had probably realized that something was wrong.

"I'm handling the base's security system... someone is already heading this way." Chu Ling's voice was solemn. "You need to hurry."

Gu Shen nodded.

He squatted down and found the worn-out "lamp" among the many burial objects in the coffin.

Having experienced a long period of time.

The exterior of this ancient lamp had been worn and damaged, covered with a layer of gray grime and dust... At first glance, it didn't look like the same type of lamp as the one in the wooden house on the summit of Shenci Mountain at all.

But Gu Shen scanned it with his mental power.

He joined his two fingers together, and Blazing Fire condensed and wrapped around, slowly stroking the surface of the lamp—

With a "chi" sound.

Dust splattered!

The lamp had dust flying, as if it were a stone sculpture that had its cloth cover lifted. Under the intense stimulation of the Blazing Fire, this ancient and unremarkable old lamp revealed its true appearance!

The Lament Lamp, one of the four Copper Man Lamps!

"The material carrier of the Copper Man Lamp... there's also a layer of disguise on the outside..." Gu Shen said silently in his heart.

This lamp was hidden deep in the tomb, so it wasn't discovered.

Perhaps the other three lamps were exposed to the outside, but the Li Family didn't know of their existence all these years, and there was no contact, so they didn't notice anything unusual.

This news was very important. He had to convey it to the Li Family after returning. Maybe using the Li Family's power... they could find the whereabouts of the other three lamps!

Because it had lost its "spirit," this lamp only had the special attribute of being "ancient" left.

If placed outside, it would just be an "antique."

Ordinary people might cherish it and collect it.

But transcendent beings wouldn't take a second glance... just an old object, nothing to care about, not a sealed object!

This was actually a good thing.

If the Li Family mobilized their forces to search for "ancient lamps," they wouldn't be obstructed by other transcendent forces.

With a "dong" sound!

There was a muffled collision sound in the darkness!

"Gu... someone is attacking the security door outside."

Chu Ling reminded, "I've locked the mausoleum using the security system, but they've already realized something is wrong. They'll be able to break in within three minutes at most."

Gu Shen looked deeply at the coffin.

There weren't many burial objects in the ancient coffin. Perhaps each of these ancient objects had unknown secrets!

Just like this "Lament Lamp"... the Owl didn't even recognize its origin!

He didn't want to escape just like that.

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

The sound of the first security door breaking echoed in the distance. The fanatical followers of the Evening Bell Church had begun to attack the mausoleum.

"How long does it take to prepare to destroy the base's security system and cut off all power?"

Gu Shen said in a low voice. He took a piece of iron clothing, put it on his body, and picked up a finger ring. He picked up these fallen burial objects one by one and put them back into the opened vertical coffin. While doing this, he looked at the "ancient writing" engraved on the surface of the vertical coffin.

You only hate having too little knowledge when you need it.

Although he had studied with Master Qianye for a period of time... Gu Shen didn't recognize a single character on the ancient coffin.

However, Chu Ling recognized a few of them and said seriously, "This isn't difficult. It can be done at any time. The ancient writing on this coffin can find overlapping samples in the database... It should be real, but analyzing and dismantling it will take time."

"There's no time."

Gu Shen raised his hand and released a wisp of Blazing Fire. The flame that could even devour the collapse point of order transformed into a thin layer of flowing light, obediently restrained its killing intent, and flowed over the surface of the ancient coffin, permeating into the back of the vertical coffin.

The hard mausoleum giant wall made a slight sizzling sound—

As if fine ice knives were cutting it.

"You're...?"

Chu Ling, sitting in the Zero Zero One, was surprised to see this scene.

"Since they've been drilling holes behind the giant wall day and night... then I might as well help them completely break through this stone wall." Gu Shen said in a deep voice, "Next, it's up to you. At the moment those lunatics break through the door, completely cut off the security system. There aren't many transcendent beings in the Evening Bell Church who can use 'mental power.' With the security system destroyed, most people will be as good as blind."

After speaking, Gu Shen drilled into the ancient coffin and closed it smoothly.

The space inside the coffin was small.

Narrow and dark.

In the silent space, he could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Gu Shen slowly held his breath.

In the next moment, his mental power completely converged, and the Breath of Spring was like a vast lake of spring water, slowly, slowly, slowly extending—

He became extremely calm.

The waiting time wasn't long, but the moment he lay in the coffin, Gu Shen had a strange feeling... He felt as if he were the "tomb owner" from many years ago, wearing iron clothes, wearing a finger ring, and holding a Copper Man Lamp in his arms.

The drifting thoughts were quickly pulled back by the sound of the door breaking!

With a "boom" sound.

The security door of the mausoleum was directly breached. At the same time, the entire base's security system was also breached. Chu Ling relentlessly attacked the base's defenses, extinguished all the light sources, and the base hidden in the belly of the snowfield mountain was completely plunged into darkness. The church team that crashed into the mausoleum quickly dispersed and occupied the four corners of the mausoleum.

The whole process took very little time, and except for the necessary sound of breaking the door, there was not a single bit of noise.

This was a strictly trained team of transcendent beings.

The green-robed "hypnotist" who was holding the pocket watch earlier was also in the team. She released her mental power and searched for unusual mental auras in the darkness... The air was filled with a sickening bloody smell. The Evening Bell Church robe worn by Sandini Singh was ignited by the blood fire and shattered into thousands of pieces in the mausoleum, flying everywhere.

All of this was enough to prove—

Someone had broken in here.

However, the "hypnotist's" mental power spread out and enveloped the entire mausoleum, but she didn't gain anything... She was a little confused and looked at the leader of the team in confusion.

It was a rather tall man, wearing a snow-white robe and a beard. He raised his hand to signal the former not to be nervous, and that the team members should just block the mausoleum.

There were two possibilities why the "hypnotist's" mental power didn't detect the aura of living people.

One possibility was that there were no living people in this mausoleum at all.

The second possibility... was that the other party's "mental power" was stronger than the hypnotist's!

Looking around.

The tall man slowly walked towards the "ancient coffin."

……

……

Gu Shen restrained all of his mental power.

Locking himself in the coffin to shield himself from outside detection... came at a price.

In this moment, he also became blind.

But it didn't matter.

He still had "Chu Ling." After completely destroying the security system, Chu Ling had complete control of the entire base. She could clearly see every corner of this snowy underground.

At this moment, Chu Ling became Gu Shen's eyes.

The world outside the coffin was synchronized and transmitted to Gu Shen's "eyes" by Chu Ling.

Each transcendent being was marked with a red dot.

And detailed information from the database was marked.

Blocking the mausoleum was a team of thirteen transcendent beings. Judging from this scale, the entire underground base had about three teams. The tall man walking towards the coffin was a Deep Sea Zone Level Six transcendent being... He should be the leader of this team. He was very strong, second only to the Level Seven outside.

The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer.

The sound of Gu Shen's breathing also became closer and closer to nothingness.

He closed his eyes, as if he were in chaos, and the noise from the outside world was shielded outside his mind.

Gu Shen silently thought about... the things he had to do next, one thing, two things, three things.

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

Everything had to be carefully thought out... because there wasn't much time left. Once the silence was broken, then a long "battle" would begin.

Undying, unending.

In front of the giant wall of the mausoleum.

The tall man reached out and touched the ancient coffin, frowning.

This coffin seemed to have been opened.

And the next moment.

Gu Shen inside the coffin opened his eyes.

"Creak—"

The man made the movement of opening the coffin. The Evening Bell Church team members scattered in the four corners of the mausoleum were extremely focused... all their eyes were focused on the captain.

The moment the coffin was opened, a line of silver light seemed to flash out in the darkness.

A piece of thin iron rust flew out from the coffin, as thin as cicada wings and as sharp as a knife!

The Iron Throne!

A strand of extremely faint Blazing Fire was also attached to the iron piece!

This time... it wasn't a "fight" with Shen Li that stopped at the point!

Gu Shen's attack was a killing move!

This was a battle of life and death, and he didn't have a single bit of room for error!

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

The one who opened the coffin was the strongest person in this team.

Gu Shen felt fortunate for this!

"Tear!"

The pupils of the team captain contracted. Before opening the coffin, he felt something was wrong. He held the long knife at his waist with one hand, but even so... it was too late!

The speed of that silver light was too fast!

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

In the next instant, the iron rust smeared across his neck!

However... there was no situation where the head fell to the ground!

The captain of the Evening Bell Church team was heavily knocked away, and the snow-white robe was neatly cut in half. He stuck a knife into the ground, his expression gloomy and angry, and a roll of red marks was branded in his throat.

The iron rust blade flying out of the ancient coffin shattered!

The necklace hanging around his neck also shattered!

"A defensive sealed object that can resist physical attacks..."

Gu Shen saw this scene.

His expression didn't change, and his palm slightly closed. His two fingers made a gesture of connecting a line, "Then... how about now..."

The assassination failed.

But the blade condensed by the "Iron Throne" still left a wound in the opponent's skin after all.

And after the iron rust shattered, the Blazing Fire hidden in it had slowly seeped in.

Gu Shen clenched his fist.

Blazing Fire erupted.

The majestic "mental power" directly erupted in the mind of the Deep Sea Zone Level Six strong attack-type transcendent being. The latter's expression changed drastically, and the scene in front of him changed rapidly. He seemed to have come to a brand new world.

Over the wilderness, the grass leaves fluttered.

There was a huge throne suspended above the wind and grass clippings.

The young man sitting on the throne calmly and indifferently overlooked himself...

He knew.

This was the other party's mental world... he was finished.

"Captain! Don't sleep!"

The green-robed female hypnotist holding the pocket watch realized something was wrong.

The captain's consciousness was rapidly fading!

She spoke loudly, while shaking the pocket watch, trying to pull back the captain's spirit!

Too late.

Before several team members could react, they saw the captain, who was kneeling on the ground with a knife stuck in it, slamming his entire head towards the ground—

And at the moment of falling to the ground.

It was like a watermelon exploding.

Majestic flames burst out from his head, and the thick fire slurry was more like a volcanic eruption.

This scene was too shocking.

The bright red "Blazing Fire" splashed onto them like liquid.

The members of the entire team were stunned.

Before they could rush towards the ancient coffin, the giant wall connecting the mausoleum and the base suddenly burst out with cracking sounds... This giant wall, which had been drilled for months, finally became overwhelmed.

With a "boom" sound.

The thin connection of the giant wall was drilled through by the "Blazing Fire." This vertical coffin, hanging on the giant wall, was like a small boat falling from a cliff, and slid down with hundreds of thousands of tons of the giant wall, heavily smashing down towards the base behind the mausoleum.

Gu Shen jumped out of the coffin.

In the dark night, it was as if a Blazing Fire bloomed!

Like fireworks.

The giant wall shattered, the base and the mausoleum were connected, and the strand of "fire" that shot out from the ancient coffin attracted everyone's attention.

They raised their heads.

And then... they fell into a dream.
