Gu Qing Shan silently observed the hand in the sky.

The unshakable shadow of death looms over his spirit sense, straining him with a faint sense of suffocation.

A series of bloody red text appeared in front of his vision:

[Attention: The Heavenly Dharma Deity-Slaying Talisbeast is patrolling the vicinity of the battlefield, any entity that attempts to enter the area will be devoured by this spell-based beast]

Hea venly Dharma!

Gu Qing Shan’s pupils dilated, a certain thought couldn’t help but pop up in his mind.

This is only the outside vicinity of the battlefield and there’s already a summoned creature with the title ‘deity-slaying beast.

Then, the war between the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King has already begun ?

Why would they isolate the battlefield?

Could it be that they don’t want anyone to observe this war?

As Gu Qing Shan was thinking this, more supernatural phenomena began to manifest in the sky.

As space itself began to warp, a large bestial creature whose entire body was made from stitched-up heavenly talismans appeared.

As soon as it appeared, the heavenly talismans that made up its body instantly radiated an intense light, transforming it into a genuine Divine Beast made up of blood and flesh- –

A Vermillion bird!

On top of the ship’s deck, an old man suddenly began to laugh.

Ahahaha, so it was a Heavenly Dharma of Virtuous Fire—– this one used to be the Heaven realm’s Virtuous Fire Immortal General, this heavenly being background will allow this one to avoid this calamity! J

He flexed his sleeves and flew into the sky like a kite caught in an updraft.

The old man displayed an expression of solemn respect and bowed: r

Greetings, Heavenly Official, this humble one was a Virtuous Fire Immortal General. Today, this one has escaped from Hell in hope of returning to Heaven and serve His Majesty once more J

The Vermillion Bird was fully clad in flames, its wingspan wide enough to eclipse the sky, and spoke in a human language: You are a Virtuous Fire Immortal General? Jl

r Indeed J the old man replied.

So be it, the Vermillion Bird cannot kill you J the Vermillion Bird then shook its body and instantly transformed into a White Tiger clad in a brutal murderous aura.

The old man exclaimed in shock:         Lord offic—– J

The White Tiger glared at him, then scoffed: Such a measly level of strength; yet you dare claim to be a Virtuous Fire Immortal General? J

Bang!

A single curt sound.

The old man’s entire body exploded into a mass of blood.

With a single gulp, the White Tiger inhaled all the blood before they could fall.

Oh? J the White Tiger appeared surprised So he really was a soldier of the Virtuous Fire troops, how unfortunate, very unfortunate indeed; but the decisive battle is nigh, I absolutely cannot allow any suspicious individuals to enter the battlefield J

It then turned its gaze downwards, casting a chilling glare onto the ship.

Everyone’s hearts went cold.

The woman clad in feathers suddenly stood out and loudly said: Everyone, we all used to be elites of the Samsara’s history, if we focus all of our abilities,

we can surely deteat this Talisbeast! J

Everyone all spoke up in agreement.

It couldn’t be helped, those two were killed in an instant without being able to retaliate at all, so if they didn’t cooperate, there was no telling which one of them would die next.

Charge! J the woman shouted and flew up ahead of everyone else.

The rest swiftly followed, all charging towards the White Tiger in the sky.

Gu Qing Shan remained completely still within the shade of the ship’s cabin, silently observing the White Tiger, then discreetly shook his head at the candidates.

My Heavenly Dharma evolved several times, capable ofambushing the Eternal Mind Seizer after havingjust reached the [Heavenly Emperor Divine Eyes] level.

While this Heavenly Dharma called the Deity-Slaying Talisbeast- – – – T ve never even heard ofit.

To win against such an impressive spell, it’s most likely onlypossible ifI’m at least as powerful as the Eternal Mind Seizer.

He silently sighed, then took a short moment to carefully scan his surroundings again.

This ship most likely can’t be counted on.

The ocean…

This isn’t an actual ocean, the ship has most likely arrived at the Forgetting

River already.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan immediately drew the Chao Yin sword and pointed it downwards.

“Part!”

Gu Qing Shan grunted under his breath.

A small gap suddenly opened in the water on one side of the ship.

As Gu Qing Shan looked back up, he saw that the Talisbeast had transformed again, now separated into the 4 Divine Beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise; all of which were engaged in intense battle with the 16 Devil King candidates.

As both sides were reaching a stalemate, the 4 Divine Beasts suddenly gathered together and transformed again, this time into a longbow.

From the void of space, a new talisman that was infused with a purple aura suddenly manifested.

An Asura observed it closely for a little before he exclaimed with horror: -It’s a Demon-Slaying Saint Talisman! J

He then immediately ignored everyone else and started flying towards the end of the Forgetting River.

The purple-aura talisman began to shake and transform into a humanoid Deity with 1+ heads and 8 arms; who then grasped the longbow and drew its string, aiming towards the Asura without any arrows.

KILL! the woman clad in feathers shouted.

All the candidates swiftly acted.

Numerous flashy spells and attacks struck the humanoid Deity, but couldn’t even penetrate the outermost purple aura around his body.

So there actually exist a True Phoenix Divine Beast that is this weak J

The humanoid Deity glanced at the feathered woman and muttered to himself.

He shook his head and continued to aim towards the distance before releasing the bowstring.

Puuu—-

Something invisible seemed to have been shot from the purple longbow.

In the extremely far distance, the Asura’s body suddenly froze.

He had an expression of extreme fear and horror, sighing as he muttered in pain: r An entire life of war and battles, yet I’m no better than a frog at the bottom of a well… how detestable… J

His body slowly faded away, almost as if it was being erased.

The candidates immediately scattered.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t observe any further.

-the humanoid Deity was able to endure everyone’s attacks so easily and killed one of them in an irresistible manner.

When the difference in strength had reached a certain level, it was simply impossible to fight.

“Chao Yin”

Gu Qing Shan silently called out in his mind.

The gap in the water by the ship then opened up even more.

Gu Qing Shan instantly vanished from where he stood, diving into the water and flying down as low as he possibly could.

The Forgetting River is a natural barrier, since no living being would ever want to touch even a tiny drop of Forgetting River water!

The water behind Gu Qing Shan rapidly rushed to fill the gap.

From the surface of the water, everything seemed inconspicuous.

Gu Qing Shan dove all the way to the riverbed of the Forgetting River, carefully suppressing his presence to his limit, then swiftly flew as far away from the ship as possible.

The water of the Forgetting River separated in front of him, then closed back up behind him.

He didn’t pause for a single moment, focusing only on moving forward.

It wasn’t until 5 minutes later, when the shadow of death had slowly faded from his spirit sense, that he gradually came to a stop.

A few moments later.

Two lines of bloody red text rapidly appeared in front of his vision:

[A total of 17 individuals is participating in this competition]

[Death count: 5]

-most likely, the others had their respective abilities to flee, allowing them to avoid the Talisbeast’s attacks.

But how long would they be able to survive from this point onwards?

No wonder the Devil King Warden Rod initially only demanded 5 minutes of survival.

Unfortunately, I went ahead and extended the time to 1 whole hour. How many people would now be able to survive?

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared surprised and stopped moving.

Wait!

Surviving for 1 hour isn’t easy.

If the others all die-

Wouldn’t that mean I have no competitors?

That is…

The Delimitation Divine Sword suddenly heaved a heavy sigh and spoke: So that was it, the hands you play are truly impressive. Almost nobody would be able to survive for long in this warring period, most likely, you’re the only one who could survive by hiding at the riverbed of the Forgetting River. In that case, you would truly be the ultimate winner J

“I actually didn’t think that far ahead” Gu Qing Shan frankly admitted.

r Don’t be so humble, your wits are monstrously sharp, and your shamelessness knows no bounds. I can’t even think of an entity that could beat you in both of these matters J the Delimitation Divine Sword replied.

The Chao Yin sword also made a ‘wu wu’ noise in agreement.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression froze, then decided to ignore the two swords, and started to observe the landscape of the Forgetting River’s riverbed.

Since I’m already at the riverbed, I might as well go forward down here.

It’s a goodplace to observe the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King.

As he was about to move, something abruptly happened—

An aura of absolute destruction started flying towards him, washing over him without giving a chance to react.

The entire Forgetting River was trembling.

Gu Qing Shan stood completely still, feeling his head becoming so empty that he couldn’t even muster the thought of trying to defend himself.

Such power-

It’s so far above everything that it could make anyone immediately give up on all hope and remain still to obediently wait for death.

A few lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared again:

[A total of 17 individuals is participating in this competition]

[Death count: 16]

-other than Gu Qing Shan, everyone else has been wiped out!

Perhaps recognizing the severity of the situation, the tiny text instantly expanded into large bloody words:

[Attention: The Heavenly Emperor and Devil King have both personally acted, their battle has begun]

[Even though you’re hiding at the riverbed of the Forgetting River, this place isn’t completely safe either]

[Warning!]

– – -You must immediately move as far away from the battlefield as possible, or the residual fluctuations of their battle might kill you outright!]

Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth and tried to calm his shaking body, his gaze focused on these words.

The invisible fluctuations that are being transferred from the surface of the Forgetting River were affecting his body, causing him to uncontrollably cough up some blood.

WE MUST GO! J the Delimitation Divine Sword shouted.

But almost instantly after that, he stopped his feet.

He stood completely still and motionless.

[An entire life of war and battles, yet I’m no better than a frog at the bottom ofa well… how detestable… J

The Asura’s final words lingered by his ears.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

From deep within his mind, a profound emotion was naturally welling up.

This place is merely the outermost edge of the battlefield, and I’m currently hiding at the riverbed of the Forgetting River.

– – -but despite that, I’m unable to endure even the residual fluctuations of the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King. The original Samsara was so insanely strong!

This is completely unimaginable.

By itself, isn’t that already a considerable secret?

IfI didn’t come here, how could anyone in the future era know that the previous Samsara was actually this powerful?

Gu Qing Shan tightly grasped both swords with a clear unaccepting look in his eyes.

– – -it took so much effort for a chance to arrive here, and I have to waste it by fleeing?

Even from so far away… I’m still unable to endure it… I can’t even try and observe a battle, let alone investigate any secrets.

So insignificant.

So weak.

Like a tiny insect within the overwhelming flow of eras, foundationally unable to witness the truth of the world.

And I still want to become the Huang Quan Devil King?

If the Devil King Warden Rod had an artifact spirit, ifit saw that someone as weak as I am managed to become the Devil King- – – – – – –

Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth tightly and put the Delimitation Divine Sword away, then grasped the Chao Yin sword tightly with both hands.

“AAAAAAHHHHH—–        I can’t retreat here!”

Gu Qing Shan uttered a ferocious roar, then suddenly manifested a layer of yellow light around his body that illuminated even the water of the Forgetting River around him.

A few lines of bloody red text appeared:

[You are the Earth God of the Four Saint Pillars]

[You’ve invoked ‘Virtue’]
