Light Fortress-Chapter 1468 - 200: Doomsday (2)_3

Gu Shen’s complexion appeared slightly pale. He tightly grasped the White Scale Bow, an embodiment of truth, pulling it from the vortex of collapsing void. At the very moment he held the [Extinguishing Candle] in the real world—

Gu Shen understood the meaning of [Achilles’ Heel].

The legendary "Achilles" was a fearless and skilled Divine General, whose only weakness was his heel, and it was ultimately this vulnerability that led to his downfall.

The essence of Achilles’ Heel signifies a "fatal weakness."

The moment Gu Shen held the [Extinguishing Candle], he saw the true structure of all things in the world.

Every floating speck of dust.

And Adam, shrouded by countless motes of dust.

He aimed to shatter any object with [Extinguishing Candle]; whether alive or dead, [Achilles’ Heel] would provide him with a clear and precise target, for everything in existence, as long as it has a structure, contains a "point of collapse"...

This is [Achilles’ Heel].

A conceptual realm gifted freely to the Master of Destiny that comes with [Extinguishing Candle].

This divine artifact underwent some change after being embodied by [Truth]... [Achilles’ Heel] requires spiritual power; every new object examined, every weakness perceived, consumes a bit of spiritual power. The stronger the opponent, the more focused the arrow needs to be, and therefore, it consumes more spirit.

Gu Shen took a deep breath, raising his bow to aim at the blond man.

His gaze pierced through countless grains of dust—

Directly locking onto that wisp of Blood Fire.

"...?"

Adam’s smile froze in an instant.

In reality, only a few seconds had passed: the volcano erupted, the earth trembled, and he seemed to hear the strong, powerful thumping of his own heart.

Everything was so wondrous.

Yet suddenly, an overwhelming sense of unease surfaced in his mind.

His raised arms had yet to descend.

Gu Shen, wrapped in volcanic ash, pulled a "great bow" from thin air, and then that great bow was aimed directly at him—

Xiao could no longer smile.

His instincts were incredibly sharp; since birth, he could always sense impending danger hovering above him in advance.

The last time he felt such an intense danger was back in Da Du!

His countless clones were shattered one by one along the Spirit Sea by Bai Shu, who had yet to become the Battle God Throne...

This kind of critical crisis often heralded immediate destruction!

And the source of his current crisis was not Bai Shu.

It was Gu Shen.

A mere third-tier!

"What is that bow... what is that bow?!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!!"

This was the last lingering awareness in Adam’s mind.

When he saw a strand of silver light coalesce at Gu Shen’s fingertips, everything had already ended.

The positions where the two stood seemed to form a long line.

Xiao never anticipated his physical demise would come so swiftly.

Gu Shen released his fingers, and the silver light instantly pierced through "his" skull. Although it wasn’t his body, an unprecedented, excruciating pain reverberated through Xiao’s Heart Sea—

He didn’t have time to scream, didn’t have time to howl in anger.

A wisp of Blood Fire was penetrated by the silver light, exiting through the blond man’s skull.

[Truth. Extinguishing Candle], paired with [Achilles’ Heel], directly shattered Adam’s weakness.

Gu Shen’s shot did not kill Adam’s physical body.

But rather the real weakness, the wisp of Blood Fire that manipulated Adam’s soul!
