The shockwaves could be felt all the way from here.
The snowy wind was blowing straight towards them.
It was almost an entire minute later that the explosion had completely subsided.
T What exactly just happened? | the humanoid snake monster asked nervously.
“We’ll talk later” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He turned into a bolt of lightning again, traversing a large distance in almost an instant to return to the site of the blast.
—–4 the entire mountain range had been completely leveled, the charred ground was totally open without any obstacles to obscure one’s sight.
Only a large black body silently lay motionlessly on the ground.
The Qilin!
“Is it dead?” Gu Qing Shan muttered and slowly took a step forward.
Observing the Qilin’s corpse, he fell into thought.
The deathly silence continued for miles in every direction.
No one knew what he was thinking.
suddenly——–
Clang!
He drew his blade again, nimbly brandishing it in the wind.
This was a normal blade from the mortal realm, so it had already been heavily damaged during his battles up to this point, the cutting edge of the blade was practically covered in uneven chips and bumps.
ano even if the Qilin was already dead, this blade wouldn’t be able to cause any damage to its body.
Gu Qing Shan blew a whistle and lightly placed the edge of the blade on the Qilin’s body.
Ching!
With a clear chime, the blade drew an arc across the air.
Arcs of light-blue lightning sparkled from Gu Qing Shan’s body as he continuously swung his blade against the Qilin’s body.
That was right.
He was slashing a dead body.
Time slowly passed.
The Tribulation Lightning manifested in the sky once again, hovering as crackling balls of light.
As Gu Qing Shan continued to swing, these balls of light gradually gathered together once again, almost like they were forming a vast sea of stars.
oo Wraith realm Divine Skill, (Lightning Wraith}!
[Lightning Wraith: Your body tums into lightning, your speed as great as any bolt of lightning, unobstructed by any magical barriers. In battle, Tribulation Lightning will descend to help you, the longer you fight, the more powerful the Tribulation Lightning will become]
Gu Qing Shan tirelessly swung the blade.
Then swung some more!
And then some more!!!
As time continued to pass, the Tribulation Lightning in the sky also gradually changed.
Some lightning that was dark-purple and crimson in color also started to manifest.
Unlike the previous bolts of Tribulation Lightning, the power of these kinds of lightning was obviously different.
At this point, not even the Qilin’s body could remain motionless anymore.
The body suddenly leapt several meters into the air and hurriedly retreated a great distance.
The Qilin was actually still alive!
It was breathing heavily, staring closely at Gu Qing Shan with a cautious gaze.
From how its body was filled with wounds, it was obviously injured quite severely during the explosion earlier.
The Qilin questioned with a heavy voice: [ What excellent eyes! How did you know that I was faking my death? |
Gu Qing Shan answered: “I didn’t”
[ Then why did you not leave? | the Qilin asked with a confused tone.
“You’re a special case, being able to reverse summon yourself using only a severed head as a catalyst, so I would naturally not judge your survival using normal standards—
Gu Qing Shan pointed his blade towards the sky.
The Tribulation Lightning swiftly descended and began to gather around his blade, manifesting into a 10-meter blade of Tribulation Lightning.
“To ensure that the battle was definitely won, I had to confirm that you were actually dead”
Gu Qing Shan’s killing intent began to condense again——-
Right away, the Qilin called out: [ Wait! J
“You want to leave your last words?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Qilin replied: [I only joined the Heaven realm to feed myself, if you’re willing to spare my life, I’d naturally repay you accordingly |
Gu Qing Shan carefully observed it.
Its body was clearly dripping with blood, its scales charred black by the explosion earlier, barely managing to stand up.
wn—– it doesn’t have the strength left to fight.
Serves you right.
That’s what you get for using a bomb of that caliber.
Ruthless people should expect to be on the receiving end of the same ruthlessness.
“Ah, what benefits can you offer me?” Gu Qing Shan chuckled and asked.
The lightning blade was slowly lowered but was still propped right at the Qilin’s neck.
The destructive aura that the blade was giving off caused the Qilin to feel goosebumps all over.
The Qilin hurriedly smiled amicably: [ 1 am the Divine Beast in charge of wealth, so I have plenty of treasures in my reach, sir J
It snuck a glance at Gu Qing Shan’s expression, only to see that he didn’t show even the slightest bit of excitement, on the contrary, he appeared bored and dejected instead.
7-4 why would you make that funeral expression when you’re offered money?
What a strange person.
The Qilin was extremely nervous, unsure whether or not it could actually survive.
Gu Qing Shan regained his calm and said
“Other than money, do you have anything else you can offer me?”
The Qilin answered right away: [ I’m very familiar with matters of the Beast King realm and Heaven realm, you can ask me anything you want to know |
Gu Qing Shan pondered: “Information huh… that doesn’t sound too bad”
Lines of bloody red text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[It is carrying a low-level Apocalypse Sequence, provided by an Apocalyptic Envoy]
[Please maintain the power of Tribulation Lightning on your blade, I will use the channel of the Tribulation Lightning to devour that Sequence]
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered.
Apocalyptic Envoy!
That’s right, the secret left by the frozen corpse within the [Traveler’s Key] did mention the corresponding information.
[At the very moment that the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins, the Apocalyptic Envoys hidden among the six realms will also awaken]
[The Apocalyptic Envoys will summon 99 Apocalypse Sequences to directly break through the Reality Gate and destroy everything within]
There are Apocalyptic Envoys hiding within the Samsara.
But I didn’t expect for there to be a Sequence left by an Apocalyptic Envoy on this Qilin.
99 Apocalypse Sequences!
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank for a brief moment.
If there are Apocalyptic Envoys hiding in the Samsara, the Samsara might not necessarily be able to successfully reset.
They would definitely do everything in their powers to stop and sabotage this process!
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, more bloody red text appeared in his vision:
[Confirmed the function of the opposing side’s Apocalypse Sequence]
[Its function is: Inter-phase Teleportation]
[The Sequence will use 10 seconds to assimilate that Apocalypse Sequence, this much time is required in order to prevent the owner of the Sequence from noticing the assimilation]
(Furthermore, the Divine Beast: Qilin is also activating the Phase Teleportation]
[The completion of the Sequence’s assimilation will coincide with the timing of the teleportation]
After reading these notifications, Gu Qing Shan turned to the Qilin again.
Only to see that the Qilin was still smiling flatteringly at him, not displaying any signs of having activated a teleportation power.
ao 0 it’s stalling for time again.
Gu Qing Shan immediately acted like he was deep in thought and asked: “Then explain to me a bit, why did the Samsara give each of us a Divine Skill, only to seal off all of our strength?”
Five seconds remain.
The Qilin slowly gave its answer: [ This is an extremely complicated issue, extraordinarily profound, and overall difficult to explain, but since you’ve asked, this one——- J
It suddenly laughed maniacally and loudly declared: _[ Ahahaha, this Qilin would rather die than tell you the answer! |
[ See you never! I will immediately report this to the Heavenly Palace to send more experts here to go after your life! |
Ten seconds had passed.
Lines of bloody red text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:
[Assimilation complete]
[It has lost the power of the Sequence, no longer capable of teleportation]
[The Sequence will fall back into slumber in order to save energy, up until you collect enough power for the Sequence]
After Gu Qing Shan finished reading, the bloody red text quickly faded away.
Only silence remained.
The Qilin was still there.
And so was Gu Qing Shan.
Acold breeze blew past the two of them.
The Qilin struggled to speak: [ That’s impossible, how am I still here? J
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“Since you’d rather die than tell me, you can die now”
He slowly pushed the blade in his hand down.
A rip was slowly cut open over the Qilin’s neck by the lightning blade.
In an instant, the Qilin was shocked by the lightning to the point that its mane became furrowed, its body shaking nonstop.
[ Wait! Sir! I’ll talk! I’ll talkkkkk!!! |
Ina moment of survival, the Qilin hurriedly begged for forgiveness again.
The blade was pulled back slightly.
The Qilin quickly explained: [ Within the Samsara, countless living beings can grow stronger, but they can never obtain a Samsara Divine Skill, as Samsara Divine Skills were specifically prepared for Chosen Saints |
[ The Samsara wanted to use Merit to evaluate Chosen Saints, determining the positions of the Samsara’s Deities through the degree of evolution of their Divine Skills |
Gu Qing Shan quickly realized what this meant and immediately said: “In other words, the heavenly beings, the Heavenly Emperor, as well as other Deities of the Samsara realms have all lost their Deific positions?”
The Qilin confirmed: [ Yes, the Divine Artifact one wields also represent their Deific positions, and since the Samsara had sealed all the Divine Artifacts away, none of the Chosen Saints retained their Deific positions |
[ If one cannot quickly collect Merit, once the Samsara begins the process of its judgement to reestablish the Deities and their positions… those who lose their Deific positions would surely lose the Divine Artifacts they originally wielded as well |
Gu Qing Shan immediately felt tense.
The Samsara Divine Artifact he originally wielded was the Six Paths Great Mountain sword!
This time, Gu Qing Shan was completely focused.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword absolutely cannot be taken away, even if I have to fight my way through the Heavenly Palace and kill all of my opponents, I definitely cannot let Shannu be taken away.
2-4 from this moment onwards, I need to focus myself entirely on collecting Merit!
He silently made this resolution without showing a single thing on his expression, then spoke with a regretful tone after observing the Qilin for a long while: “Originally 1 just wanted to pry some information from you before letting you go, but since you’ve already played the fool in front of me so many
times, I can’t let you go just like this”
This Qilin was a clue——- a crucial lead relating to an Apocalyptic Envoy, so no matter what it did, Gu Qing Shan would not let it go.
“Prepare to die” Gu Qing Shan purposely lowered his voice.
The Qilin panicked and hurriedly begged: [ Sir, I’m very useful, I can collect and amass treasures, I also know a lot of secrets and intel, and I can also act as your legs}
“Oh?” Gu Qing Shan evaluated its expression.
[ That’s right, this one knows how to fly—– no, I mean, this little one is capable of flight, so wherever your grace wishes to go, your grace can ride me | the Qilin explained.
“Iknow how malicious you are, trying to give me a bomb, then faking your death, how could I ride on top of you?” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
The Qilin was stunned, unable to help itself from observing its own charred body, then glanced at the lightning blade at its neck.
If I hadn’t met you, did you think I would act like that?
Never mind the other things, you’re calling me malicious.
wenenni do you not realize what your own personality is like?
Of course, it didn’t dare to say these words out loud, unless it wanted to die.
The Qilin wracked its brain for a long while, trying to organize its words, then finally spoke in a careful tone: [ Sir, you can surely tell just how good our compatibility is in both combat and daily life, if I can support you in combat, you’d definitely be at least 1.5 times stronger than usual |
[ Sir, Ibeg you! J
