Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1706

Chapter 1706: Chapter 866: Illusion Technique

And at the very instant the Compass was taken out!

Rumble—!

The Starry Sky Coffin seemed to have completed its final mission. The coffin lid let out a low, thunderous roar, as if pushed by an invisible hand, and with the same smooth fluidity as when it opened—yet even more urgent—it slammed shut with a boom, sealing perfectly tight!

Immediately afterward, the entire coffin erupted with one last burst of incomparably dazzling starlight, then, as though it had fulfilled the meaning of its existence, it dissolved into countless gorgeous motes of starlight drifting across the sky, like a swarm of fireflies on a summer night, slowly fading away before Gu Sheng’s eyes, ultimately returning to nothingness, as if it had never appeared.

The whole process was unbelievably fast; from the moment Gu Sheng obtained the Compass to the coffin’s dispersal, it took no more than two or three breaths.

Gu Sheng held the Heavenly Destiny Compass, which still carried a trace of icy coldness to the touch, yet his gaze swept sharply over the place where the coffin had vanished.

He keenly sensed that this Fate Venerable likely still harbored other secrets unknown to the world; it was absolutely not as simple as a mere inheritance.

The state of that corpse, that bizarre voice, that final warning... all reeked of strangeness.

But at this moment, he cared more about the opportunity already in his hands.

"Heavenly Destiny Compass... Path of Fate..."

Gu Sheng felt the Mysterious Power contained within the Compass, as though it could peer into the trajectories of destiny, and a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

"On my Fusion Dao path, I’m only one step away from the threshold. If I can, here and now, initially fuse this Path of Fate into myself, perhaps... I can directly break through the barrier within this Golden Wing Ridge Secret Realm and advance to the Sect Realm!"

His thoughts flashed like lightning as he rapidly weighed the pros and cons.

"I already have eighteen drops of Life Essence Blood from a Peak Sect Realm Golden-winged Roc in my body. If I can refine part of it, then combine it with the fusion of the Path of Fate, once I break through, my strength will definitely soar, reaching mid Sect Realm directly. I might even, relying on the peculiar nature of Fusion Dao, have fighting power that approaches the Sect Realm Peak—not impossible at all!"

His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of the Secret Realm, seeing the predators outside watching like tigers.

"Outside the Secret Realm, that Longevity Ancestor is personally sitting in town.

He already suspected my identity before; by now he has likely laid down a Heaven and Earth Net. If I go out like this, without a significant rise in strength, facing an old-brand Venerable, it’s almost a situation of ten deaths and no life!"

"Only by breaking through here! Borrowing the Origin Power blessing of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, initially fusing the Path of Fate, and stepping into the Sect Realm in one fell swoop! Then, with my many trump cards and explosively increased strength, when facing that Longevity Ancestor, I may have the power to fight; at the very least... I will have the capital to maneuver and escape!"

Danger and opportunity coexisted.

In this core area of the Secret Realm, using the heaven-shaking opportunity he had just obtained to complete the most crucial breakthrough was without doubt the wisest choice at present, and also the only way to break the deadlock!

With his resolve made, Gu Sheng no longer hesitated.

He sat down cross-legged, sinking his mind into his body. One hand gripped the Heavenly Destiny Compass, beginning to draw upon the Path of Fate Laws contained within it, while at the same time he split off a strand of consciousness, preparing to guide those eighteen drops of scorching Golden-winged Roc Essence Blood within him... He was going to assault the Sect Realm amidst this crisis-ridden Secret Realm!
