Within Huang Quan, two figures clashed and chased after one another.

The residual of their battle had caused everything between heaven and earth to become chaotic and blurred.

Heavenly beings and devils alike have all retreated, afraid that they would be caught inside it.

-this isn’t a battle that they can get involved with.

There were no other entities within the battlefield between the Devil King and Heavenly Emperor.

Well, that’s not quite correct.

Within the Huang Quan realm, aside from the Devil King and Heavenly Emperor, there was one other person.

He was at the riverbed of the Forgetting River.

Gu Qing Shan uttered another cry as he took one more step forward.

His entire body was soaked in his own blood, which made him look like a walking humanoid mass of red.

The water of the Forgetting River couldn’t approach him at all, the few drops that managed to come close would then be scattered by the power of his [Virtue].

Lines of text continued to pop up from the void of space one by one:

[Warning: The powers employed by the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King can be divided into many categories, ‘Virtue’ cannot absorb them all!]

[After this battle, you can only choose to convert all the types of power into one single type among them]

[ —- -But first you must try to survive]

Gu Qing Shan swiftly skimmed through the text, then grasped the Delimitation Divine Sword while suppressing the immense sensation of pain from his body.

He was barely able to raise the sword and lightly swung it down.

[All-Encompassing Sword Realm]!

Instantly, the entire world became peaceful.

Gu Qing Shan collapsed into a sitting position within the empty world, desperately gasping for air.

The Delimitation Divine Sword hurriedly said:

r The residual fluctuations from their battle is too powerful, my current power isn’t enough to protect you. After five breaths’ worth of time, the sword realm will shatter! J

“So it can hold for five breaths’ worth of time? That’s great”

Gu Qing Shan said as he wiped the blood from his chin.

His gaze turned to the void of space, focused on a certain Title in his Sequence UI.

[Pure Love Gang]

– -the last person who was summoned was Barry.

Barry’s ability allows him to never die while in combat.

Gu Qing Shan has been saving the ability this entire time without using it.

But now, there was no other choice.

He sighed and invoked the Title Skill.

One breath’s worth of time left J

The Delimitation Divine Sword reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan staggered back to his feet and grasped his swords tightly with both hands.

– – – -he was forcing himself to prepare to fight!

At the very next instant.

The entire empty world shattered to pieces, revealing the faint yellow water of the Forgetting River outside.

The invisible residual fluctuations once again came at him from every direction.

Gu Qing Shan uttered a resounding battle cry as his hands became a blur, swinging his swords to produce a flashy display of sword images.

An unfamiliar sensation then enveloped him.

As if something was protecting him, ensuring that he wouldn’t lose his life as long as he was in combat.

Blood.

Continued to flow from all over his body.

Occasionally, shockwaves imbued with immense destructive auras would rampage within the water of the Forgetting River, but Gu Qing Shan simply gritted his teeth and endured it.

He focused all his strength on his dance of swords while maintaining the power of [Virtue], slowly moving towards the Grand Tie Wei Mountain step-by-step.

The Heavenly Emperor and Devil King were there!

One breath.

Two breaths.

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

Suddenly, a thunderous voice echoed throughout the world:

“Devil King, I believe that’s enough mutual probing for the both of us already, time to do it for real”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan almost felt like collapsing.

Such an intense battle that caused countless heavenly beings and devils to retreat, shaking the foundation of the Huang Quan realm itself, that was only the initial wave of mutual probing for the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King?

Another voice responded: r Heavenly Emperor, you will surely lose this Clash

“Oh? Why is that?” the Heavenly Emperor asked.

r Because I’ve invited a helper from the Void, she has joined Huang Quan and will join hands with me to defeat you J the Devil King answered.

Another voice resounded from far above the sky: Samsara Heavenly

Emperor, it’s best that you surrender now. This way at least you will continue

– – -this is the skull woman’s voice.

So it was at this point in time that she became a part ofHuang Quan!

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice suddenly became gloomy: “So that was it, you invited the help of a Void Combatant, unfortunately… I still have the Samsara

Heavenly Tome, you both cannot defeat me”

Then we can only give it a try, let’s see who exactly is the master of the Samsara! J

The three voices ceased.

Without any warnings, Gu Qing Shan was blown away by an immeasurable force, causing him to roll along the riverbed of the Forgetting River for several miles before he managed to stabilize his body.

His mouth was full of blood, even his nose, ears, and eyes were starting to bleed now.

A few lines of text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve obtained the Combat Mystery: Undying]

[So long as you are in combat, you will not die]

[Warning: The gap between this ability and the Heavenly Emperor as well as Devil is too great, the residual fluctuations from their battle contains countless spells, some of which can even dispel your Combat Mystery]

– -The Combat Mystery can fade at any moment!]

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered.

Even Barrys ability is unable to endure any longer…

Then my only choice is to temporarily retreat.

But must I really retreat now?

Gu Qing Shan felt another wave of unacceptance from inside him.

At this point, he has learnt of the moment that the skull woman joined Huang Quan, as well as the fact that the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Artifact is called the Samsara Heavenly Tome.

At a pivotal moment like this, many more ancient Samsara secrets might appear in front ofme!

Suddenly, the sound of hysterical laughter echoed:

Ahahaha, my Devil King Warden Rod was made specifically to counteract your Samsara Heavenly Tome, Heavenly Emperor, your loss is determined! J

Before Gu Qing Shan could react, he felt the water around him starting to condense.

An immeasurable crushing force began to radiate from the distance, decimating the entire Forgetting River and turning all of its water into a giant

cloud of vapor.

Immediately, two lines of bloody red text appeared:

[Warning: Your Undying Mystery has been dispelled]

[You are going to die!]

The corner of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes twitched.

Die.

I’m going to die.

Should I, or should I not leave?

He suddenly raised the Chao Yin sword into the air——

“A price! Even if I have to pay a heavy price, I will remain here!”

Following Gu Qing Shan’s declaration, he thrust his sword violently into the riverbed.

Chao Yin Thaumaturgy, [Blessing of the Forgetting River]!

[He who holds this sword possess a soul that can never be harmed; at the time of death, Deities of Hell will personally arrive to guide them back to Huang Quan]

The immeasurable crushing force arrived in a mere instant-

Heaven and earth, the Forgetting River, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, all of it became nothing but a blur within the vortex of power caused by the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King’s force, completely impossible to observe any further.

If this wasn’t the Huang Quan realm, if the Grand Tie Wei Mountain wasn’t what it was, the Huang Quan realm itself might have been destroyed already!

Facing such power, Gu Qing Shan was naturally unable to escape.

His entire body was reduced to nothing but a single soul in an instant, still clutching tightly onto his sword as he stood still in place.

He’s dead!

Without [Blessing of the Forgetting River] from his sword, even his soul might have been destroyed already!

Gu Qing Shan’s expression displayed clear anxiety.

[All-Encompassing Sword realm] is already broken.

Even the Undying Mystery has been dispelled.

Who knows how long would [Blessing of the Forgetting River] be able to hold

011

As various thoughts crossed Gu Qing Shan’s mind, he suddenly uttered:

“[Guidance]!”

A yellow glow then manifested around his body, as faint as a layer of mist, but managed to fully envelop him in an instant.

He was now exuding an unprecedented solemn aura.

This was Gu Qing Shan’s unique Divine Skill, his signature as a Virtuous Deity of Huang Quan and the Death God of the River of Death——

[Divine Guidance].

[You are capable of traveling between the worlds of life and death as you wish, guiding the living into death, and bringing the dead to a new life; imbuing new power into the Twin Rivers of Life and Death world system]

Focusing his mind, Gu Qing Shan grunted: “To Hell!”

With his curt grunt, he vanished from the bottom of the Forgetting River.

Hell.

Hell was currently in complete silence.

Gu Qing Shan descended to the ground and laid within a mountain of blades, tiredly gasping for breath.

Finally, a safe place.

Hell lies within the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, so it’s naturallyprotected by the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

As long as the Grand Tie Wei Mountain remains intact, Hell will remain intact.

Lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:

[You’ve invoked ‘Divine Guidance’]

[As the Death God, you’ve guided yourself into the Hell of Huang Quan]

[You’re safe for now]

As Gu Qing Shan scanned his gaze through these words, he suddenly heard a furious roar from outside:

Heavenly Emperor, you betrayed the Samsara! J

The Heavenly Emperor firmly replied: “The Samsara needs to become stronger, and how do you know for sure that this isn’t the Samsara’s future?”

The sound of intense battle then resumed.

Carefully listening to this, Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.

What exactly did the Devil King see?

How exactly did the Heavenly Emperor betray the Samsara?

BOOM!

Followed by a brutal explosion was the skull woman’s screams.

The battle outside had become even more intense.

Gu Qing Shan was growing anxious.

It’s impossible to know what exactly is happening outside by eavesdropping like this.

Maybe— – –

Should I try and peek?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

I’m too close.

In a battle of this level, it’s verypossible for me to simply be erased as soon as I even come close to going outside.

– – – – -I might not even have the chance to invoke [Divine Guidance]

Well, I should come back to life first.

He invoked [Divine Guidance] again and brought himself a new life, enabling him to come back to life.

– -this ability is very useful, but it has its limits.

– – – -the authority and power of the Death God has now been infused into the Samsara, so this ability to bypass the limit of life and death can only be used within a Samsara world.

Furthermore, life and death would mean very little in the face of entities at the Devil King and Heavenly Emperor’s caliber, as they can simply bypass the constraints of life and death to simply destroy everything!

The Devil King’s voice was suddenly heard again.

r One Being Myriad Lives! You’re using the One Being Myriad Lives Art! J

This time, his voice contained anger and fighting spirit just as before, but it was now composed of something else as well.

It almost felt like- – –

Fear.

Gu Qing Shan was startled, then flipped open the Book of the Sea and asked: “What is the One Being Myriad Lives Art?”

Lines of text written in human language swiftly appeared on the Book of the

Sea:

[There exist 3 supreme techniques within the Boundless Void]

[Legend says that there are certain extremely rare spells and techniques within the Boundless Void, ones that if practiced to their very limits, they would undergo unimaginable change and sublimate to become peerless techniques above all imagination]

[A total of three such techniques are known, commonly referred to as the 3

Void Arts]

[One Being Myriad Lives is one of them]

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “What exactly is that technique?”

[The 3 Void Arts are secrets among secrets, so unless you can take me to witness it first-hand, even I can’t tell you what it actually is] the Key of the Wind answered without hesitation.

It then added: [These are the most well-hidden techniques within the Boundless Void, as well as secrets of the utmost value. If you can have me witness it first-hand, I will nullify all of your debts up to now]

Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth.

Witness it first-hand?

But I’ll die instantly ifI step outside, how can I witness it?

As Gu Qing Shan was pondering this, another declaration echoed outside:

“So this is it, Devil King, you’re going to lose, and the whole Samsara will be mine!”

This was the Heavenly Emperor’s voice.

As Gu Qing Shan wanted to focus on listening further, a person abruptly appeared in front of him.

This person was wielding the Devil King Warden Rod in one hand, his body riddled with horribly wounds, while his other hand was holding the skull woman.

It was the Huang Quan Devil King!

He glanced at Gu Qing Shan and grunted: Leave now, you can’t stay here any longer J

Gu Qing Shan was confused and wanted to say something, but the Devil King suddenly pushed the skull woman away.

She then fell into the void of space and vanished without a trace.

r You should also leave, my successor, this is the only safe opportunity for you to eavesdrop. Do not return to this piece of history again, otherwise, the

Heavenly Emperor will surely discover you! J

r The Samsara will grow increasingly weaker… but the Heavenly Emperor will only grow increasingly stronger. Without the confidence to overcome his One Being Myriad Lives Art, you must flee and hide! J

Take the Devil King Warden Rod, use its power, and flee as far as you can! J

After saying that, the Huang Quan Devil King thrust the Devil King Warden Rod into the ground.

He took a deep breath as his eyes gradually became ferocious.

r To protect the Samsara as a whole, I have no choice but to first shatter it—– hurry up and leave! J

Being at the receiving end of his glare, Gu Qing Shan felt his entire body being restrained and was unable to move.

At the very next moment.

He vanished..
