Capítulo 1020: Chapter 175: The Fireless One

The Tundra Prison was shattered with a giant hole.

Iron walls collapsed, snow dust flew everywhere.

Yet nearly a hundred heavy machines and North Continent energy boats swirled in the air… The prisoners held in the Tundra Prison, especially those near the “Heavenly Sheath” core area, had no chance of escape.

Everyone watched the image of the giant kneeling before the Heavenly Sheath.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the traveler has fallen.”

“It wasn’t killed by Her Majesty… Rather, it seemed to have burnt out its own life.”

Utilizing Divine Thought to master countless Great Cold Swords, Aluer softly spoke in the Spiritual Link: “For the North Continent, this is good news. Before long, the ‘Furnace’ will be able to extract more pure ‘seed of fire’ as a source of fire.”

Even when Divine Level Creatures die, their bodies don’t immediately separate from the seed of fire.

This takes some time…

With Aluer’s raised hand movements, the countless Great Cold Swords inserted into the traveler’s back sprayed silver threads from their hilts, entangling at the belly iron top position of the super large source energy boat, lifting the giant kneeling before the Heavenly Sheath shakily.

Only now it has completely lost its breath.

This seed of fire no longer burns fiercely, causing the surrounding biting wind snow to be tinged with a layer of desolation.

The North Continent aims to take the “traveler” to Central City.

This corpse will be reintroduced into the [Furnace], and the Underground Research Institute will conduct final dissections and experiments… The traveler died striving, which isn’t bad news for Central City, but the various public figures witnessing this scene were not happy.

Before long, Central City will acquire endless energy, and the surrounding small and medium cities will gradually ascend, embracing warmth.

The sight of this huge creature knocking at the Heavenly Sheath truly tugs at the heartstrings.

Every Transcendent who saw this felt an inexplicable sadness rising within them.

Clearly, this was an alien species.

Different from our kind, its mind must be different.

Perhaps the Traveler Clan, six hundred years ago… was also part of the human migration and escape.

Witnessing the death of this giant cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts.

After the traveler’s corpse was lifted by the super large source energy boat, the post-disaster reconstruction tasks quickly resumed.

The air was filled with debris from the Heavenly Sheath.

Aluer utilized Her Majesty the Empress’s Divine Domain to thoroughly clear these debris, then the various public figures from the North Continent piloted airships down to help the transcendent beings at the Tundra Prison jointly restore the destroyed majestic iron wall.

Gu Shen arrived at the Heavenly Sheath.

The wild wind howled as Gu Nanfeng also came here.

The two exchanged glances, remaining silent.

For six hundred years, the Heavenly Sheath was unwavering, yet now, it suffered some degree of damage, though the traveler did not directly uproot it, the hard surface of the boulder was shattered considerably.

Some ordinary people imprisoned within the Tundra Prison also suffered varying degrees of damage.

At this moment, debris spread all over the core area of the Heavenly Sheath… After detaching from the “main body,” these stone chips seemed to lose their magic power, Gu Shen picked up a piece, gently pinched it between his fingertips, crushing it into dust.

Rumors said the Heavenly Sheath was a forbidden artifact to be kept as far away as possible.

Once touched, abilities would be destroyed.

Obviously, these scattered stone chips on the ground did not possess such eerie power… These unknown stone chips with indistinct materials were only terrifying because they were gathered together.

“More than twenty years ago, Mr. Gu Changzhi came to the [Snow Cage] once.”

Gu Nanfeng broke the silence: “He stood before the Heavenly Sheath, extending his palm, touching this ‘Stone Sword’…”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrow: “Stone Sword?”

“Yes, Stone Sword, the Tundra people always called it that.” Gu Nanfeng looked up at Skytop and asked: “Don’t you think the Heavenly Sheath looks like a sword? A sword pointing directly at the sky.”

Gu Shen followed Gu Nanfeng’s gaze, looking up at Skytop.

Countless stone chips spread and grew, resembling a sky-reaching vine penetrating the clouds.

Perhaps beneath these stone chips, there’s nothing. Official source is novｅlfire.net

Yet standing here, after just one glance, Gu Shen felt… it was indeed a sword.

“I heard the Heavenly Sheath is connected to the ground, nothing like what we see, with just a part exposed. This isn’t something that can be pulled out.” Gu Shen paused slightly and said: “Because even Mr. Gu Changzhi failed.”

The Heavenly Sheath plunged into the Tundra—like an iceberg floating atop the Deep Sea, this sky-reaching sword only coincidentally revealed a part, the true base had merged and rooted with the frozen soil in a tens of miles radius around the Tundra.

Gu Nanfeng smiled softly.

He gazed not far away, his eyes falling at the base location of the Heavenly Sheath… Having escorted the Tomb Ghost to its destination, he circled around the Heavenly Sheath, carefully examining it a round.

Finally, he found “here,” a specific angle.

“I believe… Mr. Gu Changzhi just hadn’t gone to ‘pull’ the Heavenly Sheath.”

Gu Nanfeng extended a finger, gently pointing in that direction.

Gu Shen looked over and fell into silence.

At the base of the Heavenly Sheath, there was a handprint hollowed inward, because the original Heavenly Sheath was so massive, and normally no one would approach… so over the years, hardly anyone noticed this handprint.

This was the depression left by Mr. Gu Changzhi years ago.

Gu Shen suddenly remembered the scene he saw at Divine Temple Mountain.
