Chapter 1592 - The true situation

Chapter 1592: The true situation

The sky slowly went dark as the shroud of night was raised.

The Dance continued.

The music played.

The nozzles of the skeletons’ gatling guns had already gone incandescent.

If time were to be slowed down, one would see short bursts of flames appearing from the gun barrel before going through the dead people’s bodies, crashing into the giant black wall before exploding into fireworks.

The firework of death that continuously bloomed!

The consecutive firepower created a sort of spider net array that turned every dead person trapped inside into a skeleton who devoutly knelt on the ground repenting.

Roar!!!

The dragon in the sky continued to roar.

Sprites of light were still flying up from the River of Death and gathering towards the waterfall of light that descended upon Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Gu Qing Shan’s dance steps did not stop for even a moment, waving his hand as he declared:

“I want them all to be blown sky-high!”

The skeletons swiftly put their gatling guns down and pulled out a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher from their backs.

The explosive shells flew everywhere——-

Boom!!!

Within the intense explosions, countless dead people were being blown into the air before swiftly falling back into the River of Death.

Their world jurisdiction had already been changed as soon as they were struck, so they were now unable to fall back into the River of Death.

In the middle of the dance stage, Gu Qing Shan was carrying a silvery artillery tube on his shoulder with a lead box the size of a canteen on his shoulder, currently a bit hesitant.

——should I use an electromagnetic railgun or a nuclear warhead?

Nuclear warheads pollution is a bit severe…

But the dead from the River of Death is probably not afraid of this kind of pollution.

Gu Qing Shan was still snapping his finger to the beat as he silently thought.

——the current situation is a bit unique.

Even with the gatling guns and rocket launchers, there are still billions of dead in the River of Death, I won’t be able to kill them all at once.

I’ve managed to save the individual and take a portion of dead people from their hands, that’s enough capital for me to work with.

Seizing my time and leaving right after the Dance was over is proper business.

However…

If I want to run, I need to cause a big enough commotion to distract them.

——–then nuclear warhead it is.

Gu Qing Shan made his decision and silently asked the void of space: “Esteemed lady, once the Sacrificial Dance is over, what would happen to these Samsara dead people?”

The hoarse female voice answered: 「 Don’t worry, they will be killed by your enemies, then revive in the nearest Samsara fragment world——- you will be able to sense them when that happens 」

Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then became delighted.

This would be the same as helping me find a Samsara fragment!

He flipped his hand over and put the railgun away.

As the beat dropped, Gu Qing Shan followed the music and spun, taking advantage of his movement to cut open the earth and bury a nuclear bomb under the ground.

Clak!

A tiny sound of the bomb being initiated was heard.

The timer began counting down:

[01:00]

[00:59]

[00:58]

One minute remaining!

The sound of music was becoming increasingly high in tempo.

——-the entire Dance still abruptly stopped right as the beat reached its peak.

But other than Gu Qing Shan, nobody knew this.

Gu Qing Shan flew into the sky and stood next to the Death Dragon.

“Dead Fatty, prepare to retreat” he sent his voice.

The Death Dragon opened his eyes wide and glanced confusedly at him.

——-aren’t you winning here? Why retreat?

His eyes were asking this.

Gu Qing Shan had to sent his voice again: “The Dance is about to end, if you won’t leave, it’ll be too late”

The Death Dragon finally understood.

While talking to him, Gu Qing Shan was performing a robot dance, his arms moving like waves.

When the undead saw him and Death Dragon standing together, as well as his strange movements, they all couldn’t help but shiver a bit.

A man and a dragon.

Are they going to attempt something else?

While they were thinking, the dragon suddenly roared:

「 The feeble dead! We’ve completed the warm-up, time to give you a completely new surprise! 」

Warm… up?

You mean to say that the eerie, unblockable attack earlier was nothing but a warm-up?

The dead looked up into the sky.

A chilling killing intent was being exuded from that dragon’s body.

It seems to be preparing something.

Oh no!

Without a doubt, an even stronger storm is about to hit——–

It was unknown who was the first to do it, but the dead people within the River of Death all began to hurriedly retreat.

Even the glowing cloaked skeleton and Atley had retreated to the border of the black wall.

——-it really couldn’t be helped; this guy had betrayed their expectations again and again.

Combined with that dragon as well, who knows what would happen next?

[Block it! Shield me! I can’t waste more power here!]

The glowing cloaked skeleton angrily shouted.

The army of dead immediately gathered in front to shield it.

At this exact moment, the music suddenly stopped.

A layer of white fog appeared around Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Immediately after that, the gigantic dragon suddenly shrank into a fatty.

The fatty put his hand on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

The white fog swirled.

And the two of them vanished without a trace.

Right at this moment, the music restarted as a slow fading rhythm.

The retreating dead all stopped.

What?

Did they just leave?

The music still hasn’t stopped, but they already left?

The glowing cloaked skeleton waved its hand: [That’s impossible! I’ve sealed off the entire Doomsday Necropolis, not even a teleportation World Technique would let them leave!]

Atley thought briefly and laughed: “They’ve already used up all of their power, now I’d like to see exactly where they can actually run too”

As soon as he said that.

Right underneath where Gu Qing Shan previously danced, the nuclear warhead’s timer was still counting down.

[00:02]

[00:01]

[00:00]

The entire world instantly became silent.

Only the last few notes remained before the Sacrificial Dance was over.

Time was up!

A flash of blinding light erupted from the earth and rose into the sky, illuminating this entire world.

The air itself was becoming ionized, sporadic electromagnetic pulses streaked across the sky like blue flashes of light within the white background.

The light was so intense that every other color seemed to be a bit overexposed.

Nuclear radiation of over a hundred million degrees celsius filled the River of Death.

The dead who were too weak would be completely melted into nothingness.

Carnage.

Destruction.

Annihilation.

The single sound of explosions had overshadowed every other sound, which intensely spread in shockwaves throughout the mushroom cloud.

The world fell into complete chaos.

Time slowly went by.

Finally.

Everything slowly calmed down.

But this was only an illusion of peace, as the huge mushroom cloud in the air would eventually fall back down to envelope the River of Death.

From this point on, only extraordinary strong dead people would be able to break through this domain of death and be summoned.

The glowing cloaked skeleton silently looked at all of this but was strangely not angry.

A single nuclear warhead wouldn’t have actually done anything.

But the problem was that this Technological-type bomb was infused with the power of the Sacrificial Dance, making it impossible for all the dead people who were struck by it to resist, thus were completely destroyed and turned into Samsara beings.

This was a huge loss.

「 Your grace, should we go search for them? 」the replica Death Dragon asked.

The glowing cloaked skeleton glanced at it.

It had barely managed to survive as well.

Atley had already been taken by the Sacrificial Dance.

There were no longer any dead people inside the River of Death.

Gone.

Everything was gone.

The glowing cloaked skeleton was stunned briefly before shaking its head: [No need, I can sense that they had already left this place]

It then muttered:

[…I had thought he was a Death God, but he was actually a sword cultivator]

[Then I thought he was a Death God who used swords, but then he knew how to dance]

[And then, even when I knew that he was a Death God who knew the Sacrificial Dance and wielded swords, I didn’t expect that he would also be a mad man who also used Technological weapons]

The glowing cloaked skeleton sighed tiredly and said: [This cannot… continue…]

It turned to the replica Death Dragon and said: [We’re going to leave as well. ‘That one’ alone at the depths of the River of Death wouldn’t be able to do much about it]

The Death Dragon asked: 「 Do you mean, you’re going to come as well, your grace? 」

[That’s right. We need to hurry things along and take over the final part of the River of Death. Only then would we be qualified to sacrifice all of the River of Death’s water to complete my real plan!]

…

At another location.

A few minutes ago.

At the border of the Doomsday Necropolis.

Gu Qing Shan and Dead Fatty both looked at the sky.

An abrupt flash of blinding light illuminated the sky above, painting everything white.

The nuclear warhead had exploded!

“This light is a bit prickly on the eyes. When Technological-type bombs can give off colorful neon light, they’ll be perfect” Dead Fatty commented.

“We need to leave”

While saying that, Gu Qing Shan lightly slashed the air with the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

A gap was cut into the wall of light that sealed the entrance of the Doomsday Necropolis.

Boom!!!

An intense sound of explosion was heading straight towards them together with visible shockwaves.

The two of them didn’t turn back to look and simply left the Doomsday Necropolis through the gap.

As soon as they left, the wall of light closed back up.

The explosion was completely sealed inside.

[Brother Gu, that was a beautiful explosion earlier! Where do we go now?] Dead Fatty raised a signboard and asked.

“I’m heading to Dream Island to see someone. You can do whatever you like, if you don’t have anything to do, you can come with me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Dead Fatty raised another signboard:

[I think I’ll follow you, at least that’ll keep me safe for a while]

“Alright, let’s go”

A mass of white fog enveloped the two of them.

They both vanished.

A few moments later.

Dream Island.

Inside a silent inn, white fog manifested.

Gu Qing Shan and Dead Fatty both appeared.

[Who’s this?] Dead Fatty raised a signboard and asked.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the bed.

A man wearing a luxurious blood-colored robe with a body that looked like a dried corpse filled with terrible wounds was lying motionlessly on the bed.

He seemed to have gone through many battles and suffered a lot.

Zi—- zi—-

The Light Chaser ring on Gu Qing Shan’s finger suddenly activated itself and gave off some noise.

An electronic voice called out:

[Detected the power of the Blood Sea Card deck]

[Conclusion: rescue completed]

[Playing recording]

Su Xue Er’s voice began to sound:

“Qing Shan, this is my Teacher, Lord Bloodsea, you must save him”

“He and I are both wielders of the Blood Sea Card deck—- during your time period, I was still immersed in my evolutionary slumber, so I’m unable to give you a hand. Only he would be able to help you enter the true Blood Sea”

“I will now tell you the truth. The Blood Sea deck originated from the Blood Sea; its Cards are the manifestations of the Blood Sea Heroic Spirits”

“Qing Shan, did you know? Both the Myriad Deities and Law Behemoths were entities created by the frozen corpse in order to take over the power of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, while the Blood Sea was the true origin of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, the source of the two rivers”

“The Heroic Spirits who died in battle outside the Reality Gate had all gone into slumber within the Blood Sea”

“Following the original course of history, two days later, the Apocalypse will completely take over the Blood Sea, using it to consume the Twin Rivers of Life and Death and use this power to break open the Reality Gate”

“This process will take time, but it cannot be stopped”

“Once the Blood Sea has fallen, no one else would be able to stop the true Apocalypses”

“In the near future, the true Apocalypses will descend upon the void with all of their powers”

“You definitely cannot let this happen, otherwise, everything in the Reality Gate will fall to destruction!”
