Light Fortress

This is also what the Silver Fox General mentioned... the reason why heartflow cultivation doesn’t greatly enhance actual combat strength.

But now Gu Shen seems to have vaguely realized a path that belongs only to him.

If you go against the grain.

Let many people become one person.

Heartflow cultivation might be able to amplify combat strength!

Faced with large-scale supernatural events, the East Continent’s three institutes form teams, each with at least three members, each with different roles, and the more challenging the event, the more likely they are to assign a "Commander."

One plus one is greater than two.

Changye’s ace combinations often succeed in carrying out high-difficulty transcendental tasks beyond their level.

And no matter how tacit...

They can’t compare to Transcendents who possess "Heart Flow Power," as Gu Shen maneuvered these Red Shadows in combat, as if he were controlling his own left and right hands.

He alone has an entire superhuman combat squad.

And he himself is the "Commander!"

This is an unprecedented feeling... Few in the Five Continents can understand this sensation because heart flow cultivation is too difficult; even someone as talented as Bai Xiu managed only two strands, and most strong individuals would ignore "heartflow cultivation", even the Silver Fox General wouldn’t rely on this power for combat.

Because it’s just a chicken rib.

For the Silver Fox who commands origin power, splitting six strands of Heart Flow Power to control six weak shells in combat... is rather laughable.

He only needs to appear himself, aim at his target, and punch, all troubles will ease.

The only thing he can’t defeat is the Divine Throne.

In this situation, divided Heart Flow Power is meaningless.

But for Gu Shen, who possesses "Pure Land," it’s not a chicken rib.

Currently, he can only control a few Red Shadows.

But if his Heart Flow power reaches an unprecedented level, infused into every strand of soul in the Pure Land one day...

What kind of scene would that be?

At this instant, Gu Shen seemed to have an epiphany.

Splitting the spirit is the first step, from zero to one.

And gathering the spirit is the second step.

This second step... is not difficult!

"Swish!"

Suddenly, six Red Shadows scattered away, previously fighting "each in their own way" against low-level members of the traveler tribe, without much connection to each other, but now they are connected by Gu Shen’s Heart Flow Power.

Sitting on the ground of the "Initial," Gu Shen reached out a palm.

He lowered his head, intently staring at this palm.

Like plucking the strings of a zither.

His five fingers moved rhythmically in the void.

"Slash!"

A Red Shadow took the initiative to attack first, stepping rapidly on the ground at high frequency, quickly infiltrating the "blind spot of vision" of the grey-winged creature, but for such a level of extraordinary life, there is no such thing as a "blind spot" within nearly a kilometer radius, every move of these Red Shadows is under its control.

Long tail sweeping!

"Bang!"

Another muffled sound!

But this time, the Red Shadow no longer used the blade and body as resistance to block, it directly stretched an arm out for a hard reception!

This arm was instantly struck, shattered into pieces—

The shell of the Red Shadow spun in the air, but the long knife was successfully thrown, slicing with a piercing whistle, unfortunately, this attack missed, the grey-winged creature’s sweeping speed was very fast, it didn’t miss the aggressor, after the tail swept it immediately soared, a very sharp and swift claw aimed at the Red Shadow’s chest.

The Red Shadow’s one-armed frame made an extremely odd gesture before "death."

"Fizz!"

Next moment, its chest exploded open.

The iron hook claw of the grey-winged creature directly pierced through the Red Shadow’s chest, but then its bronze eye pupils sharply contracted!

A large amount of liquid gushed from the Red Shadow’s chest.

Liquid Black Silver!

High-quality strong logic material, dealing "damage ability" to all extraordinary powers in the world!

"Sizzle!"

The bone claw of the grey-winged creature was instantly corroded, and a lot of white smoke rose from the snowfield.

Echoing from the air, the sound of breaking wind!

The Red Shadow’s gesture before dying recalled the battle knife it had thrown, now this knife rotatingly plunged into the grey-winged creature’s back!

Tear!

Crimson blood splashed on the snow!

Accompanied by the roar of wrath and pain, the grey-winged creature went on a mad massacre... But the remaining five Red Shadows moved extremely oddly, each assault was clever, seeming to contest the grey-winged creature, but never engaging it directly.

The Red Shadow that just now was deliberately sent out to die by Gu Shen.

Through several encounters, Gu Shen had fully grasped the traits of this high-order traveler species.

Body strength comparable to gold and iron.

Extremely fierce point-kill ability.

Facing such extraordinary life, you absolutely cannot be anxious, once you expose weakness, you’ll be immediately killed... Seven Red Shadows now remain five, perfectly corresponding to the fingers on Gu Shen’s palm.

To hunt the grey-winged creature, these five Red Shadows are enough.

...

...

"You mean... these Red Shadows are all controlled by Gu Shen alone?"

In the command room of the main boat, the masked Heavenly Dog spoke in disbelief.

Lin Lin was conducting strategic deployment.

"...Yes."

Purple Rain held a cup of hot tea, blew gently, her expression complicated as she watched the image of the Gu Castle Battlefield.

The snowfield’s howling wind destroyed everything.

The five Red Shadows demonstrated extremely high mobility and combat qualities.

The ghostly shadows constantly collided, the grey-winged creature lost its rationality under the "encircle and fight" of five Red Shadows, becoming increasingly cruel and mad, yet more like prey toyed with in the palms of a Hunter’s hands.

The Investigation Corps she leads has cultivated many elites, particularly adept at "team operations."

The standard execution of a frontier mission was a six-member team.

The Investigation Corps had never failed in the past years, but now Purple Rain was truly taught a lesson, the battle coordination showcased by Red Shadows, even the most elite team of the Investigation Corps cannot achieve.

"I know that in heartflow cultivation, one can split ’Heart Flow Power’..."

Normally extremely composed, never showing surprise, Heavenly Dog murmured at this point: "How much heart flow power is needed to achieve this step?"

He instinctively glanced at the Red Shadow standing beside him.

Bai Xiu’s spirit was inside this Red Shadow.

"Seven strands."

Little Xiuzi paused, then said, "Oh, no... he just successfully broke through, now it should be eight strands of Heart Flow Power."

Eight strands of Heart Flow Power?

Wild Dog Duan Feng’s eyebrows raised high: "I heard the Silver Fox General at most simultaneously controls seven strands of Heart Flow Power... Gu Shen is more formidable than the Silver Fox General?"

After speaking, he realized the impropriety.

Gu Shen of today has successfully fused Netherworld Fire.

No matter how you say it... he is a Quasi-God now.

Yet this news still left him shocked.

"Wasn’t it said heartflow cultivation is useless?"

Blood Mastiff muttered under his breath, "Why is Gu Shen so powerful at controlling Red Shadows in combat?"

They were all discerning, seeing that this single Red Shadow was indeed worthy of the divine creation of Starship Civilization, its combat capability truly formidable.

But there’s no program boost from Initial.

In the outside world... Red Shadow’s combat capacity dropped several levels, far from the terror during the Ice Sea Ruins exploration mission.

They have seen the intelligence from the Ice Sea Ruins.

"Red Shadow" was reputed to be the dreadful mechanical life that could slice through low-level titles, the nightmare of all fourth tiers.

But now it appears...

Red Shadow’s combat level fluctuates greatly.

Gu Xiaoman’s controlled Red Shadow had just been slain in a fleeting encounter...

Switch to Gu Shen, he played with a high-level titled traveler species like a toy in his palm!

"Heart Flow Power... it might require cultivation to a very high level to bring forth such effects right?"

Little Xiuzi at this moment had a very complex expression.

He also cultivated Heart Flow Power, and also controlled a Red Shadow.

But Gu Shen’s mastery of "Heart Flow Power" at this moment, undeniably... far surpassed himself, it wasn’t just a quantitative gap, even at peak usage of Heart Flow Power, the Silver Fox General might not match the current Gu Shen!

He sighed deeply.

"Or perhaps..."

"Such an effect can only be achieved by Gu Shen."
