Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 827: Chapter 437: Fiery Red Shadow

With a loud bang, the two illusions shattered instantly under Gu Sheng’s attack.

Gu Sheng was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected these illusions to be so fragile.

However, at that moment, Gu Sheng’s true self also felt a surge of pain.

At the same time, the To Tower King was also slightly displeased.

The feeling was as if their own bodies were being attacked.

"Not good!"

Gu Sheng’s expression changed as he realized a serious issue.

These illusions seemed to be mysteriously linked to his true self; if he attacked the illusion, he himself would also be hurt.

"Gu Sheng, we can’t go on like this; we’ll end up killing ourselves!"

The To Tower King said anxiously.

"Hmm, indeed."

Gu Sheng nodded, his tightly furrowed brow eased slightly.

He knew deeply that what To Tower King said was true; that fiery red figure remained hidden.

So, they couldn’t blindly attack, or else not only would the illusions be eradicated, but they themselves would fall into danger.

"We must find a way to break through."

Gu Sheng said gravely.

Then, the two swept their gazes around, trying to find some clues.

But at that moment, the illusions of Gu Sheng and the To Tower King formed once again.

Their illusions appeared faintly in the flames of the fifth layer of the Fire Domain, their movements indistinguishable from the real ones.

Moreover, the attacks of the illusions seemed to also carry some of their true self’s power.

To avoid injuring himself, Gu Sheng tried to dodge.

But both Gu Sheng and To Tower King understood that dodging like this wasn’t a solution; if they didn’t find a way to break the illusions quickly, they would fall into an endless cycle of self-exhaustion until death!

Gu Sheng scanned around, his Divine Sense like a massive net trying to catch traces of that fiery red figure.

The appearance of the illusions was surely related to that fiery red figure.

If only they could find it, they might be able to break the illusions!

"To Tower King, did you see anything before the illusions appeared?"

Gu Sheng suddenly asked.

To Tower King was startled, then a flash of realization appeared in his eyes.

"You mean, we need to find the source of the illusions!"

"Hmm."

Gu Sheng nodded: "Indeed, no matter how powerful the illusions are, their existence must rely on some force. If we can find the source of that force, we might break the illusions."

"Exactly! Spot on!"

To Tower King suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Gu Sheng.

Immediately, the two began a careful search in the fifth layer of Fire Domain.

Their gazes, like detectors, tried to penetrate all fogs.

However, the environment of the fifth layer of Fire Domain was extremely complex, with flames, smoke, and magma intertwined.

All of this formed natural barriers, creating layers of obstacles.

At that moment, Gu Sheng’s Divine Sense suddenly caught a faint fluctuation.

His gaze focused, immediately locking onto the source of the fluctuation.

"Over there!"

Gu Sheng pointed in a direction and quickly rushed over.

"Gu Sheng! Be careful! Be careful!"

To Tower King followed closely, shouting a reminder.

Soon, they arrived in front of a hidden cave.

The entrance of the cave was concealed by flames and smoke; without Gu Sheng’s Divine Sense capturing that fluctuation, it would have been hard to find.

"Is this the source of the illusions?"

To Tower King asked excitedly.

"I don’t know, but I sense something here."

Gu Sheng shook his head lightly.

Then his Divine Sense expanded again, carefully probing into the cave.

He discovered a strange force fluctuating inside the cave, very similar to the aura of the illusions.

"Let’s go in!"

Gu Sheng said, his figure flashing as he led the way into the cave.

To Tower King followed closely, "You... slow down... slow down..."

The space inside the cave wasn’t large, but it was filled with various strange runes and arrays.

These runes and arrays emitted weak light, flickering intermittently.

As if maintaining some balance of power, or performing some function.

Gu Sheng scanned around the inside of the cave.

Suddenly, a small altar at the center of the cave caught his eye.

The two quickly walked over; a strange crystal stone was placed on the altar.

"Eerie eerie eerie..."

The crystal stone emitted a strange sound, also radiating a faint red light,

That red light transmitted some energy, reaching outside the cave.

"This is the source of the illusions!"

Gu Sheng was overjoyed.

Now, as long as they destroyed this crystal stone, the illusions would naturally disappear.

"Watch out, that fiery red figure might be hiding nearby."

To Tower King reminded.

"Hmm!"

Gu Sheng nodded, his Divine Sense expanded again, starting to explore every corner of the cave meticulously.

But after a thorough investigation, Gu Sheng found no trace of the fiery red figure.

Even a hint of Divine Power fluctuation wasn’t visible.

"Never mind, let’s destroy the crystal stone first!"

Gu Sheng said firmly.

In between, his palm swung out abruptly, a golden palm power charged towards the crystal stone on the altar.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, under Gu Sheng’s palm power, the crystal stone shattered, and the power of the illusions vanished instantly.

Gu Sheng’s and To Tower King’s illusions also dissipated, and the fifth layer of Fire Domain returned to peace.

"Fantastic!"

To Tower King’s face lit up with joy as he said with a smile.

But before the two could celebrate, the fiery red figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Their face carried a sinister smile, eyes flickering with madness.

"You think destroying the crystal stone breaks the illusions? Too naive!"

The fiery red figure’s voice was laced with mockery.

"What?"

Gu Sheng and To Tower King’s faces changed.

They realized things might not be as simple as they thought.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"Hahaha, you destroyed the crystal stone, but you’ve also triggered my true power!"

The fiery red figure laughed aloud.

As he finished speaking, stronger flames erupted from his body, engulfing the entire cave.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng was instantly shocked.

It was a powerful flame force, seemingly more formidable than the Purple Fire of the third layer and the flame glow of the fourth layer!

"This is my natal flame, let it send you off!"

The fiery red figure said somewhat arrogantly.

Then, his palm swung abruptly, a massive flaming handprint rushed towards Gu Sheng and the To Tower King.

"Onward!"

Gu Sheng and To Tower King immediately mobilized all their power, ready to face this deadly strike.

"Bang!"

The flaming handprint clashed with Gu Sheng’s and To Tower King’s power in the air, erupting with a deafening explosion.

"Boom!"

The sound shook the entire cave.

Flames splattered everywhere, resembling scenes of an apocalypse.

Gu Sheng and To Tower King were forced back a few steps by the shock, sensing the fiery red figure’s power was indeed much stronger than before.

To Tower King’s face turned extremely grim.

He silently analyzed: the fiery red figure’s power has already far surpassed their imagination, continuing to fight might lead only to a dead end.

Unknowingly, a retreat was budding in his heart.

"Gu Sheng, I won’t fight him anymore, you’re on your own!"

Having said this, To Tower King turned to leave, instantly rushing to the entrance of the sixth layer.

However, at that moment, the fiery red figure seemed to be able to move instantly.

Suddenly, his figure split in two, a clone darted out blocking To Tower King’s path.

"What?"

To Tower King froze abruptly.

And in the instant To Tower King was stunned, the fiery red figure swung out a palm.

A blisteringly hot flame handprint rushed towards the top of To Tower King’s skull...

"Ah!!!"

To Tower King screamed miserably, standing motionless.

"No!"

Seeing this, Gu Sheng’s face changed, wanting to rush over to save To Tower King immediately.

But as he got closer, he found the surrounding temperature was simply too high.

Several rescue attempts were blocked by the flames, rendering it impossible to get close.

"Bang!"

The flame handprint struck fiercely on top of To Tower King’s skull, and To Tower King’s body was instantly engulfed by flames.
