Chapter 1379: The power of Huang Quan
The fog continued to spread, as the bead gave off a faint yellow glow that illuminated Gu Qing Shan’s face.
That one-horned demon’s words just now revealed an awful lot of information.
Unfortunately, after finis.h.i.+ng its mission, it simply disappeared without answering any specific questions.
Gu Qing Shan sighed lightly.
Around him, the empty void slowly disappeared.
The Forgetting River had reappeared, the ancient great tree once again stood tall above the river.
——this was something that the one-horned demon left for those who came later and chose the Huang Quan Saint Selection.
As for Gu Qing Shan, he had already reached the peak of the tree and completed his own Star River Tribulation.
Gu Qing Shan held the bead, and coiled his inner sight around it, quickly refining it into his belonging.
A few moments later, the world faded away from him.
He found that he had returned to the Saint Spirit world, standing on top of the iceberg in the middle of a vast ocean.
Lines of glowing text continuously appeared in the void of s.p.a.ce:
[You’ve obtained the Huang Quan Saint Selection Bead]
[This is a proof of ident.i.ty for the Huang Quan Lord of War, you can use this bead to obtain the recognition of the Samsara’s Huang Quan realm fragments, becoming their owner]
[The more Huang Quan realm fragments you fuse, the more powerful you will become]
[Attention, you will need to speed up your collection of Huang Quan realm fragments in preparation for the future war]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed that over and quickly understood.
A sense of unfounded anxiety suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just like Shan Hai Qi Xia had said, he could now also sense the incoming storm.
—–the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is coming!
But what exactly is this war?
When is it going to happen?
“War G.o.d UI, do you know the details of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[No] the War G.o.d UI answered without hesitation.
2000 Soul Points were instantly deducted from him.
Gu Qing Shan’s eye twitched.
—–you’re taking a fee even when you don’t know?
But he managed to keep it in and not actually make this complaint.
Heaven and earth suddenly changed.
The boundless power of the Laws converged in mid-air as a colorful cloud, then swiftly surged forward and infused itself into his body.
Boom!
Shockwaves spread in every direction.
A faint glow began radiating from Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Lines of notifications quickly appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[The Star River Tribulation has ended]
[As you successfully reached the top of the Forgetting River Divine Tree, you may absorb all the Huang Quan Origin power within the Star River Tribulation]
[From now on, your spirit energy will slowly be converted to Huang Quan Origin power]
[Special note: You can still use origin power of the soul to replace Huang Quan origin power and unleash its corresponding abilities]
[You’ve obtained the World Origin power: Huang Quan]
[As you have the World Technique: Fog Realm Descend, the best infusion method for World Origin power: Huang Quan is to fuse into your left eye, do you accept?]
“I accept”
Gu Qing Shan answered right away.
More lines of glowing text appeared:
[The infusion has begun]
[From now on, you will be able to unleash abilities with the Huang Quan property]
[You will obtain a new World Technique]
[The new World Technique will carry the Huang Quan property. It is estimated to awaken in about one full day’s worth of time, please wait patiently]
Reading these lines of text, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit expectant.
When he performed the seven sword strikes as offering to the infinite worlds, the past worlds all fused into one and entered Gu Qing Shan’s left eye in order to escape from being erased by the Three Great Laws of Reality.
[Fog Realm Descent] was a World Technique that Gu Qing Shan had only just recently obtained, the very first product of this fusion.
And now, this World Technique will also carry the Huang Quan property.
If Gu Qing Shan didn’t already command a World Technique; carried the post-fusion product of numerous past worlds; the place he faced his Tribulation was the most powerful Saint Spirit world; furthermore, if Gu Qing Shan wasn’t already the Huang Quan Devil King and successfully reached the top of the Forgetting River Divine Tree; this exact scene wouldn’t have happened.
The current happenings could only be attributed to Gu Qing Shan’s continuous efforts and hard work that ultimately brought about the best possible result.
The Star River Tribulation was finally over.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist and silently sensed the spirit energy inside his body.
Sure enough, the spirit energy in his Dantian was slowly being converted into a different power source that contained a faint yellowish aura.
This was a unique force that belonged to the Samsara, carrying the Huang Quan property, it was vastly more powerful compared to spirit energy.
Such power… what can it be used for?
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
—–I remember that [Ethereal] had a total of four fist techniques, of which he had already unleashed [Grand Mountain], [No Pardon], and [Myriad Shadows], only the ultimate attack——- [Null Tribulation] hadn’t been unleashed even once due to lacking power.
But now, the power of Huang Quan inside my body is also part of the Samsara, perhaps I’d be able to perform [Null Tribulation] now?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan stood atop the iceberg, took a deep breath, and clenched his fist.
His power boiled and fully gathered at his fist.
A terrifying presence could be felt.
Gu Qing Shan’s entire body was immersed inside a profound yellow aura, which then gradually turned jet-black and spread into the ocean.
“Let’s try out [Null Tribulation]—–”
Just as Gu Qing Shan muttered that, a scorching sensation was felt on his wrist.
Thousands of voices resounded in his ears:
「 I… lent you a place to use, but now… you’re going to destroy the environment? 」
——the Saint Spirit world’s world spirit had recognized the power of [Null Tribulation] and manifested around Gu Qing Shan once again.
The entire ocean began to exude a dangerous aura.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
——I was too immersed in my new power and forgot where I was.
The Saint Spirit world was originally in the middle of evolution, it was only because I was in so much of a hurry that it allowed me to face my Tribulation here.
And now I’m trying to hit it?
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly dispelled the Huang Quan power around his body and smiled, trying to smooth things over: “Ah, I’m sorry, I was in deep thought and forgot”
Invisible fluctuation slowly radiated from his hand.
Origin power of the soul.
“Haha, this is my thank you gift” Gu Qing Shan said.
A second later, he felt something surrounding his hand and lightly absorbed the invisible fluctuations.
His Soul Points was deducted by 10 million on the War G.o.d UI.
「 Ah… it… is… delectable… thank you 」
Numerous voices resounded by Gu Qing Shan’s ear, exuding an unprecedented sense of intimacy.
——-10 million at once?
Gu Qing Shan’s smile became a bit stiff.
“I’ve troubled you this time. I’ll be taking my leave first, once you’ve finished your evolution, we’ll communicate again” he said.
「 See… you… again… 」the world spirit spoke.
Gu Qing Shan entered a ma.s.s of white fog and disappeared almost instantly.
…
At another location.
The dark Cultivation-type world.
Right as Gu Qing Shan appeared, he saw Xiao Die.
“Are you done breaking through?” Xiao Die asked.
“I am, the property of my power source has also changed” Gu Qing Shan replied.
A vast faint-yellow aura radiated around his body.
Watching this aura, Xiao Die pondered: “This seems to be much more powerful compared to spirit energy, your advancement… almost seemed like you had just undergone a change into an ominous demon”
“Is it that great of a change?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
“It is, perhaps you’ve just not had an objective understanding of it——- how about we spar for a bit?” Xiao Die suggested.
“Alright—– never mind”
Gu Qing Shan corrected himself.
Xiao Die was a bit surprised and asked: “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Recalling what happened just now and answered her in an embarra.s.sed manner: “You lent me a world to use and even watched over my Tribulation, if I were to fight and accidentally hurt you right now, that would be very bad”
He could clearly sense that by having the Huang Quan Origin power as its driving force, the power of [Ethereal] had been ma.s.sively improved.
If they truly fought, never mind his other means, [Null Tribulation] would definitely hurt Xiao Die.
Gu Qing Shan was absolutely confident about this.
Xiao Die silently listened, then smirked a bit and muttered: “With your current strength, you can certainly hurt me”
“That’s why let’s not” Gu Qing Shan concluded.
“It’s noon, let’s head back for lunch?” Xiao Die asked.
“I’m going to head out for a bit, I’ll return to make lunch soon” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you before eating, go” Xiao Die said.
A ma.s.s of fog appeared around Gu Qing Shan’s body and enveloped him.
He quickly left again.
