Chapter 1133 - Azure Dragon was a scoundrel

Chapter 1133: Azure Dragon was a scoundrel

As the Azure Dragon’s head fell to the ground, an Abyssal monster carefully picked it back up.

『 Following the agreement, the dragon body, and dragon soul belongs to the Abyss 』it cautiously looked at Gu Qing Shan and said.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “Naturally”

That Abyssal monster sighed in relief.

『 We shall leave 』

At its order, the other abyssal monsters took to the air with it and swiftly left this world.

Gu Qing Shan waited for a few moments before abruptly collapsing to his knees.

“Aaarrrggh—–”

He couldn’t help but shout.

An azure shadow and black shadow manifested behind him, pushing against one another while exuding extremely terrifying power.

Lines of text were scrolling through the War God UI:

[Although you can almost be considered a sleeping Demon Dragon, the power that must be absorbed is too great. It will take one full minute of extreme suffering for you to completely store it until you can fully digest it later on]

Indeed, the Azure Dragon was heavily injured and was on death’s door, but as long as he underwent treatment, he would have quickly recovered.

He was a rare and powerful dragon of the Wraith realm.

If he wasn’t greatly weakened, he might even have been able to stop the Demon Dragon power from corrupting himself.

The fact that Gu Qing Shan didn’t explode from absorbing that much power was already a great fortune.

—–he only managed to achieve this thanks to having converted quite a bit of the Demon Dragon’s power into his own.

[Although you have the identity of the Earth God, you are still only a mortal]

[Because of that, this was a kill above your level]

[The War God UI had absorbed all the Soul Points from the Azure Dragon]

[You obtained 6,000,000 Soul Points]

6 million!

While he was still enduring the extreme suffering, Gu Qing Shan felt better as soon as he saw that number.

More lines of glowing lines of text were still scrolling across the War God UI:

[You are using the power of the Demon Dragon’s bloodline to consume the power of the mythical creature: Azure Dragon]

[That entity’s power is too great, so it will be stored away to facilitate gradual daily absorption]

[Special attention: The Azure Dragon’s main forms of attacks will be converted into reserve power and stored, only a few unique abilities remain]

[You may choose one of these unique abilities to turn into your Thaumaturgy; or use the Demon Dragon power to fully consume them all and change your Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability]

[Attention!]

[The Demon Dragon was the greatest Soul Artifact created by the Bygone Era humans, if you choose to consume it, you will lose the Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability and change it into a new unknown ability]

Gu Qing Shan answered right away: “No, no need to consume it”

Don’t be ridiculous!

Sometimes, Gu Qing Shan thought that the Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability, rather than the Demon Dragon itself, was the masterpiece of the Bygone Era humans.

When the Demon Dragon’s bloodline was let loose, it could persist for a long period; so waiting for all the Demon Dragon bloodkins to mature and then absorbing them would actually be the most profitable way to use it.

Using this ability in combat would cause the enemy to feel a wave of extreme torturous pain.

Furthermore, after killing the enemy, he could even absorb the enemy’s power.

This ability exactly defined the idiom: Those who face the evil dragon will eventually see themselves turning into the evil dragon.

——-but in this Apocalypse, where the infinite worlds were constantly under the threat of destruction, who would care about your identity?

Naturally, some especially powerful enemies—— like the Azure Dragon at his peak – would most likely have a way to defend against the corruption of this ability.

The previous lines of glowing text disappeared, replaced by new ones:

[You’ve given up consuming and chose to turn one of those unique abilities into your Thaumaturgy]

[Please choose one of the following unique abilities to convert into your Thaumaturgy:]

[First: Dragon Roar]

[Dragon Roar: An enemy struck by your attack would definitely be sent flying]

[Second: Azure Dragon Scales]

[Azure Dragon Scales: You can conjure an azure barrier once every 5 minutes that can prevent the majority of attacks, reducing all incoming damage by 70%]

[Third: Origin Flow Leap]

[Origin Flow Leap: Directly leap through space at 2000% movement speed, require the use of a certain amount of Soul Points (Attention: cannot attack during the displacement or it would be automatically nullified)]

[Fourth: Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding]

[Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding: While you are talking to an enemy, the Hex will naturally manifest as imperceivable shadow shackles that would restrain the enemy’s body, reducing their movement and attack speed. Its effectiveness is directly related to the duration of your conversation]

At this point, the pain slowly subsided from Gu Qing Shan’s body.

As he read these abilities, he slowly felt surprised.

[Dragon Roar] and [Azure Dragon Scales] are very decent unique abilities.

The third ability is in a league of its own.

——-[Origin Flow Leap].

This was the Azure Dragon’s foundation and root, capable of leaping a large distance through space and making sure that no one could catch up.

He managed to chase me from Heaven Pillar world back to the vicinity of the Eternal Abyss by using this ability.

As for [Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding], just reading it made Gu Qing Shan feel a sense of wonder.

He then realized.

When the Azure Dragon descended from the sky, he immediately began talking with me, but it turns out that it was using this binding Hex.

The very act of talking to another person was to use an ability.

——the Azure Dragon was stronger than me by an immeasurable degree, but he was still that careful in combat.

Or rather, he was outright wicked.

What an eye-opening experience this was indeed.

In reality, both sides had trump cards that the other party couldn’t see through, but Gu Qing Shan’s trump card was borrowing the Laws of Reality with his Tribulation, the Demon Dragon power, as well as the Abyssal army.

Otherwise, it would be hard to tell who would have come out as the ultimate victor!

This was the uncertainty of combat in the infinite worlds.

Until the very last moment, no one would be able to tell the other party’s trump card.

No one could guarantee a complete victory!

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief, though he was still a bit fearful.

Who could’ve thought, such a powerful Azure Dragon was actually a scoundrel…?

He paused for a second.

—–hmm?

Wait.

Isn’t this ability very suitable for me?

Gu Qing Shan looked back to the War God UI, pondering between [Origin Flow Leap] and [Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding].

The War God UI spoke up: [Please select the ability you wish to keep within 1 minute, when time is up, the Laws that make up this abilities will break down and can no longer be absorbed]

Gu Qing Shan stopped hesitating.

“I choose [Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding]”

[Are you sure?]

“I’m sure” Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth and replied.

The War God UI responded: [Currently absorbing this unique ability to convert into your Thaumaturgy]

[Please wait for 10 minutes]

Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up.

The pain had fully subsided.

A sense of overflowing power coursed through his body.

This was the power of the Demon Dragon and Azure Dragon that had been combined into the same reserve.

From this moment onwards, Gu Qing Shan would become stronger with every passing second!

At the same time, he had also obtained a unique ability from the Azure Dragon.

Killing a single dragon brought so much benefit.

Demon Dragon… Azure Dragon… would another dragon appear in the future as well?

While wondering this, Gu Qing Shan replied:

“I probably won’t wait, just tell me when it’s finished, I need to go meet up with Shifu and the rest now”

Saying so, he leapt up before flying up to the sky.

As he entered the clouds, he saw the bird from before.

The bird flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.

Xie Dao Ling’s voice sounded:

“This way, enter the Immortal Lake”

…

The Immortal Lake of Inversion.

Gu Qing Shan leapt out from the lake and landed in front of everyone.

“My apologies, a bit of personal business” he smiled and clasped his fist at the others.

Everyone simply clasped their fists to greet him back, not at all impatient.

——-this guy is sect master Xie’s disciple.

This pair of master and disciple both came to face their Tribulations, one of them to Sumeru Lord realm, while the other was to {Mahesvara King} realm, which showed clearly how powerful their sect was.

It’s best to get acquainted and stay friends with them.

The Qilin’s voice resounded through the world:

「 Very well, you have all gathered, will you begin to scale Mount Sumeru now? 」

Xie Dao Ling nodded and said: “Let’s begin.

The Qilin leapt into the air and turned into a transparent image glowing colorfully.

The image slowly solidified.

It was a Qilin-shaped mountain lock that was 15 meters tall and 20 meters wide!

The lock pointed at Xie Dao Ling

「 OPEN—– THE —— MOUNTAIN—— GATE! 」

The Qilin’s heavy voice resounded throughout the surroundings.

The world parted in front of them.

A glowing glazed divine mountain that reached the top of the sky revealed itself in front of everyone!

They all felt a resounding sense of shock.

The divine beast Qilin spoke up again:

「 The Divine Mountain is pure and unblemished, manifested from countless blissful worlds. But a long time had passed, and some of the worlds that make up the Divine Mountain eventually fell to ruin 」

Following its voice, the glowing glazed mountain slowly became grey, revealing that it had been corroded by a gloomy color, exuding a sense of rot and destruction.

“My god! No wonder no one had been able to successfully break through!” someone exclaimed in shock.

Another person pointed at the Divine Mountain and trembled as he spoke: “The Divine Mountain wasn’t like this when I arrived several hundred years ago, almost all the worlds on the Divine Mountain have been destroyed already, how could anyone pass a Tribulation like this!?”

“From the foot to the top, every step is destruction, harsh! Harsh! Harsh!” another cultivator muttered to himself and continuously sighed.

He immediately used his scripture to reverse the flow of this spirit energy and crashed it into his Dantian.

Pfft——-

Everyone only saw him coughing up some blood before vanishing from the Heaven’s Tribulation.

—–he had just receded his cultivation and returned to his cultivation world.

The Qilin spoke up again:

「 Xie Dao Ling! 」

「 You must travel from one destroyed world to another, helping the Divine Mountain clean up the contamination along the way until you reach the summit of the Divine Mountain and achieve the realm of Sumeru Lord! 」

Xie Dao Ling stood still with her hands clasped behind her back, silently watching the dull Divine Mountain without saying anything.

Gu Qing Shan walked behind her and whispered: “Don’t worry Shifu, I’m quite used to this”
