Chapter 1732: A battle in two worlds
Translator: La0o9
Standing on a piece of rock, Gu Qing Shan was silently observing the Qilin in front of him.
“Tl be honest, I don’t want to die” he earnestly said.
The Qilin’s body suddenly discharged several layers of dust clouds as it roared: [ That’s not up to you! J
The dust clouds erupted and started spreading in every direction.
This entire region seemed to have been enveloped in dust, making it so that Gu Qing Shan couldn’t even flee if he wanted to.
The Qilin declared in a solemn tone: [ This one acts upon the will of heaven to patrol the mortal realm and oversee the Elements, the wolf race’s envoy is a servant of the Heaven realm, so for killing him, you must pay with your life |
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shrugged: “It’s so boring to fight and kill all the time, they say the heaven treasures life, so how about we shake to make up and have a meal together?”
T How impudent! J the Qilin roared in anger.
Its voice reverberated across heaven and earth, causing the dust storm around them to boil up as well.
The erupting dust then swiftly manifested into silhouettes of people as they rapidly took actual form.
ciel there were several hundred soldiers with weapons ready in their hands, clad in full suits of armor.
Without saying a word, these soldiers immediately charged toward Gu Qing Shan right after they manifested.
Gu Qing Shan readied his bow and rapidly fired so many arrows that the movement of his hands looked like blurred images.
The string of the bow boomed repeatedly like thunderclaps.
In an instant, the quiver behind Gu Qing Shan’s back was emptied.
A rain of arrows drew parabola arcs as they shot toward the soldiers one after another.
Some of the soldiers managed to stop the arrows, but the majority of them accurately struck their targets without fail.
Any soldier struck by the arrows turned back into dust and vanished.
Gu Qing Shan uttered a curt ‘ah’ as he felt relieved.
“Although there are hundreds of men, none of them can exert their true abilities, unable to even use their Samsara Divine Skills…” he muttered to himself.
The Qilin coldly spoke: [ Among the cultivators in the Human realm, you are not the only one renowned in weaponry. I will summon countless weapon experts of the Human realm to chop you into dirt and avenge the envoy of the wolf race |
Gu Qing Shan had nothing to reply to that.
He drew his blade and leapt into the sky from his rock, jumping straight into the hundreds of soldiers.
Cold gleams of the blade flashed continuously.
Wherever he went, soldiers were reduced to dust and scattered without fail.
The soldiers’ expressions remained unchanged, focused on nothing but surrounding Gu Qing Shan without giving him any s.p.a.ce to dodge their killing blows.
The men acted like a tidal wave, their weapons as numerous as trees in a forest.
Being in the middle of this encirclement, a sharp glow flashed in Gu Qing Shan’s eyes as his blade drew nine consecutive flowers of blades.
—— sword Art, Nine Linked Cities!
In an instant, the soldiers had all been eliminated.
“What blade technique is this?” one of the soldiers questioned in a heavy tone.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.
—–4 he had just treated the blade as his sword and performed the highest level of sword technique that a mortal was capable of.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, the Qilin chuckled and mocked: [ The blade techniques of mortal can only claim supremacy for a lifetime while the punishment of heaven is ending, trying to go against the dignity of Heaven with mortality is nothing short of a path to perish |
Following its words, hundreds, thousands of soldiers manifested from the dust storm once again.
These soldiers gathered together to form a military formation as they advanced towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan heaved a heavy sigh and spoke: “You are not the only one capable of summoning the dignity of heaven”
The lightning around his body gradually glowed brighter.
soe ‘Wraith realm Divine Skill, [Lightning Wraith]!
A brilliant bolt of blue lightning broke through the layers of dust clouds and descended from the sky.
Boom!
Thunder echoed across heaven and earth.
A large number of soldiers in front of Gu Qing Shan were instantly wiped out by the bolt of lightning.
[ A Heavenly Tribulation!? J
The Qilin’s expression became cautious and shouted: [ Wait a moment, are you a Chosen Saint of our Heaven realm? |
Although it said that, the soldiers didn’t even pause, still advancing while attacking Gu Qing Shan with everything they had.
Gu Qing Shan chuckled: “What if I am, and what if I’m not?”
The blade in his hand danced and cut open an empty path within the waves of soldiers.
While both sides were unable to use their original strength, none of these soldiers were a match for him.
The Qilin explained: [ There are many Chosen Saints from our Heaven realm that had gotten lost, so if you are from the Heaven realm, hurry and return with me to see the heavenly beings, your wheel of meritorious service will be appraised in order to determine your position |
Gu Qing Shan seemed surprised: “The Samsara had already reset, so all of us should be earning Merit, how can you already determine your positions so soon?”
The Qilin explained: [ When the Samsara shattered in the past, the heavenly beings of Heaven realm had faked their deaths to avoid the Great Tribulation, so once the Samsara became one again, they simply had to awaken to return to their original positions J
Gu Qing Shan swung his blade again.
The Tribulation Lightning descended once again, following his blade to blast another group of soldiers to dust.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked: “The Samsara was shattered in a tribulation—— wait a minute, why did all of you escape without trying to face the Great Tribulation of the Samsara?”
The Qilin was unable to answer that properly so he angrily rebuked him: [ You foolish junior, you have no idea what kind of tribulation we had to face at the time, it wasn’t something that anybody could have actually faced |
Gu Qing Shan’s blade still hadn’t stopped, killing several soldiers who rushed towards him and asked again: “So you’ve all reappeared to retake your previous positions, but if such a tribulation manifested again, what would you do? Fake your deaths once again?”
[ The Samsara has evolved, it now has more power for us to call upon, and we shall decide to fight or flee when the situation arises | the Qilin answered.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Boom!!!
Five bolts of Tribulation Lightning descended like asteroids, circling around him as they illuminated his surroundings in a light-blue hue.
Gu Qing Shan shouted while trembling: “GO!”
The five bolts of Tribulation Lightning instantly fused into one, manifesting a great wall of lightning that spread in every direction.
The arcs of lightning were blinding, swiftly dispatching the soldiers wherever they pa.s.sed.
Gu Qing Shan stood still in the middle of the swirling dust storm and sighed: “Your generation of heavenly beings are completely useless, no wonder the Samsara had to reset itself”
The Qilin’s gaze became focused as it looked toward the sky.
It saw more Tribulation Lightning.
And even more Tribulation Lightning was still manifesting.
Strange, what position does this person actually hold, being able to use the Heavenly Tribulation like this.
It seems I need to summon someone with a Samsara Divine Skill to eliminate him.
Once the Elemental Earth has been established, I will head into Huang Quan to search for the origin of his soul later.
Having decided, it lowered its body and started exuding a more ferocious presence, howling in a low voice:
T Yin Deities of Huang Quan, heed the order of Heaven and come to my aid! |
A resounding noise reverberated from the ground.
Faint yellow fog silently began to manifest.
The projection of a large stone bridge slowly manifested.
Numerous demons and devils stood on top of the bridge, observing Gu Qing Shan.
Aman dressed in ancient Chinese Official clothing emerged from the crowd, then leapt into the drifting fog.
Holding a thing booklet in his hand, the man told the Qilin:
“A giant crimson glow resides behind this individual, their killing karma weighs heavily upon them. I shall send them into the killing karma they accrued, treading the same path over ten thousand times before they can escape”
[ Hurry up with it | the Qilin looked up at the Tribulation Lightning above the clouds and urged him.
As they fought, the number of Tribulation Lightning had only increased.
If a true Heavenly Tribulation manifests, then it would be a lot of trouble!
Understanding his urgency, the man pointed the thin booklet in his hand towards Gu Qing Shan and shouted: “With my Samsara Divine Skill, I order your past killing sins to manifest in full!”
In an instant, countless crimson spikes manifested from the ground to completely envelop Gu Qing Shan.
These crimson spikes seemed to have formed an isolated barrier where numerous visions manifested one after another, all of which displayed how Gu Qing Shan eliminated his past enemies.
The Qilin and the man stood outside the barrier, silently observing this.
[ How confident are you? | the Qilin asked in a low voice.
“Don’t worry sir, this person has killed too many living beings to even count, everyone he had ever killed will manifest as vengeful wraiths through my Divine Skill to take his life”
“Going through it a single time will cause numerous vengeful wraiths to swarm him—–~ anormal person would definitely go insane, but I’m forcing him to go through it ten thousand times. n.o.body would be able to endure this scene of endless murder, nor would they be able to endure so many
vengeful wraiths, his mind will surely be overwhelmed”
“Once his mind is overwhelmed, the wraiths will consume his flesh body and pull him into h.e.l.l——- there is surely no escape” the man confidently explained.
The Qilin turned towards the crimson barrier.
Countless ghostly shadows moved endlessly, unceasing, uncountably, completely obscuring the inside of the barrier.
The Qilin silently nodded.
Without any changes, several breaths’ worth of time went by.
The man shouted: “It’s been ten thousand times, barrier disperse!”
All the crimson spikes instantly vanished without a trace.
Only Gu Qing Shan could be seen standing in the middle of the dust storm, his gaze completely undisturbed.
It was so silent around him that not the shadow of a single vengeful wraith could be seen.
“—-That’s it?”
Gu Qing Shan curtly asked.
In the sky behind him, numerous bolts of Tribulation Lightning had already condensed into a sea of lightning, ready to descend at a moment’s notice.
The man nervously took a few steps back and spoke in disbelief: “That’s impossible—– even the most ferocious demon could not endure being swarmed by so many vengeful wraiths!”
Gu Qing Shan propped his blade on the ground and sighed: “You should know, for those that I killed, I’ve never forgiven a single one of them even now—– and I never will—— so however many times you had them come at me, I’d kill them again that many times. I think they might resent you more
than they resent me now, considering how you forced them to come at me”
“They should have pulled you into the 18 layers of h.e.l.l!” the man angrily screamed.
“That’s very true, if I won’t enter h.e.l.l, who would? But these vengeful wraiths didn’t have the courage to actually let me into h.e.l.l, so I had no choice but to stay here”
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan pointed his blade forward.
And the Tribulation Lightning in the sky descended with a bang…
