Chapter 1117: Chapter 41: Afraid Your Dao Heart Will Shatter
Chi Huo flared up, illuminating the entire black sky universe with blazing flame!
Black Grinding nightmare was incinerated within seconds, countless black spiritual fragments were burned to ashes…
Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes.
The tent was still quiet, but different from before.
The four severely injured team members, whose breaths had previously stalled… now resurfaced.
Gu Shen pulled them back from the brink of death!
“Phew…”
Gu Shen exhaled a foul breath. Breaking through the Black Grinding nightmare wasn’t a big deal for him; the real trouble lay with the “Heavenly Sheath Curse” mixed into this nightmare.
If Chi Huo could devour chaotic Extraordinary Essence, then its level wouldn’t be inferior to “Heavenly Sheath”!
Using Chi Huo to consume the Heavenly Sheath Curse was just an attempt—
Before Gu Shen acted, he was unsure in his heart.
But fortunately, during the recent tough battle, Chi Huo achieved victory.
The Heavenly Sheath Curse that spread and occupied the spirit seas of the four people was completely devoured by Chi Huo, but unlike before, this time Chi Huo didn’t gain “feedback”; although the Heavenly Sheath Curse was edible, it was not tasty.
The emotional fluctuation passed back by the small flame after eating was not positive.
If it weren’t for Gu Shen’s order.
It wouldn’t want to be tainted by this thing either.
“Gu Shen, I feel your ‘fate line’ has become murky.”
Chu Ling’s voice sounded in the spirit sea.
Although she was sitting in Zero-One, handling affairs, she always paid attention to Gu Shen.
As the direct disciple of Master Qianye, Chu Ling possesses the ability to “view fate lines,” in the vast world, every living being has its own destiny.
Using divination skill requires a price.
Because each foresight of the future is a rebellion against the iron law of time, sacrificing a part of one’s physical shell is necessary to maintain balance.
But if it’s just viewing fate lines, it requires almost no price… this is easy to understand, the premise of the divination skill is actually finding the corresponding target’s fate line, aside from Transcendents and ordinary mortals, even other creatures have fate lines, even a flower, a blade of grass, a stone, a piece of wood.
Destiny enshrouds all things.
After interacting with Netherworld Fire, Gu Shen belongs to an existence that the divination skill cannot probe—
Those life forms related to “fire seeds,” especially those that have produced actual cause and effect with the Divine Throne, their fate is no longer testable by the divination skill.
But fate lines can still be faintly glimpsed.
“My fate line has become murky?” Gu Shen slightly frowned.
“Yes… I suspect it’s the influence of the ‘Heavenly Sheath Curse.'” Chu Ling spoke seriously. She was present when Gu Shen cleared the nightmare world earlier. Those intangible Heavenly Sheath powers were devoured by Chi Huo, equivalent to entering Gu Shen’s fate in another way.
However, Gu Shen has a strong fate!
“I speculate, because you are destined to be the future Netherworld King… the curse of the Heavenly Sheath fragments in the soul seas of these four people currently cannot affect you.” Chu Ling was also not very certain, “Or perhaps the Netherworld King’s body bears a stronger curse?”
“This…”
Gu Shen rubbed his brow, his expression complex.
He didn’t know if this was good news or bad news.
The Heavenly Sheath Curse is ineffective because the stronger Netherworld Fire Curse suppresses it?
“In any case, you need to be extra careful.”
Chu Ling sincerely said, “I feel the power of the stone sword is very terrifying, with your current strength, absorbing a few fragments is not a problem, but if the number is too large… it might be unwise.”
“Understood. I will pay attention.”
Gu Shen nodded and lifted the tent flap.
Outside, dozens of pairs of eyes were watching him.
Those patrollers and doctors had been waiting by the tent, not daring to make a sound the whole time.
Some even added barrier seals arranged around the tent to isolate the outside world, preventing external noise from interfering with Gu Shen’s “treatment”…
Seeing these hopeful eyes, a trace of warmth flowed through Gu Shen’s heart.
Although Changye is a city that loves battle, encouraging internal duels to improve strength, but when it comes to executing tasks outside, everyone is very united.
“Mr. Xiao Gu, how is it inside?”
The physician who was previously responsible for treatment asked cautiously.
During this waiting period, their hearts were quite anxious.
“It is already fine.”
Gu Shen smiled and said, “Send them to the rear, take good care for a few days, and they can awaken… but the mental trauma isn’t something that can recover overnight, they might need to rest in bed for half a year to slowly recuperate. As for the subsequent eradication task, they shouldn’t continue to participate.”
Those anxious physicians breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“As expected of Mr. Xiao Gu…”
A physician from Deep Sea Seventh Level muttered, “The problem we couldn’t handle, he solved easily.”
Another physician said seriously, “What are you thinking? That was a nightmare bestowed by a Fourth-tier Expert… I feel even if we combined our spirit seas, it might not be as profound as Mr. Xiao Gu’s.”
As everyone relaxed.
In the distance, the snowfield lit up with a streak of cyan light.
This streak of cyan light moved swiftly, sweeping away the snow, almost instantly reaching outside the tent. In the final stretch, Mu Qingyang used rare sealing items similar to “space movement” to bring the life-saving Fourth-tier physician to the tent.
It was very timely.
