The ocean.
A bright full moon hangs in the sky.
Gu Qing Shan descended from the sky and lightly landed on the s.h.i.+p’s deck.
He looked around, only to see that everyone else on the s.h.i.+p had vanished without a trace.
Only a jet-black scepter adorned with a one-horned skull stood on top of the s.h.i.+p’s deck, its sockets radiating a thick red glow.
The Devil King Warden Rod!
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the scepter for a long while.
From a long time ago, I’ve already known that this scepter was extraordinary.
But I’ve never even considered that the scepter was hiding secrets of the Samsara’s past.
Last time, I obtained this scepter within a fragment of the Samsara, so nothing ofparticular note occurred.
But this time, now that I’m within the complete Huang Quan realm, I was able to witness the decisive battle between the past Heavenly Emperor and Devil King.
Gu Qing Shan slowly walked closer to the scepter before stopping right in front of it.
An anxious female voice called out from the bone ring on his finger:
You need to hurry and take the Huang Quan Devil King position, then come and help me against these enemies
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: “Senior, what’s the situation now?”
Some fluctuations could be felt from the bone rings before it manifested a vision of light.
In the sky of the Huang Quan realm, layers upon layers of awesome nebula had manifested a humanoid form, which was commanding numerous monsters to attack Huang Quan.
The Virtuous Deities leading the Hall of Reincarnation, Bridge of Life and Death, Forgetting River, and Gates of h.e.l.l were leading their subordinates on the side of the monsters.
They were laying siege against the Grand Tie Wei Mountain with all their strength.
The skull woman was hovering in the sky above the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, putting up a defense together with Fei Yue and her subordinates.
But there are too many enemies that they would falter very soon.
– – -the situation was very severe!
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out to grasp the Devil King Warden Rod.
Several lines of b.l.o.o.d.y red text swiftly appeared in the void of s.p.a.ce:
[This compet.i.tion for the Devil King position has ended] [You are the only remaining candidate alive]
[You have become the new Huang Quan Devil King]
A flash of light suddenly appeared from the top of the Devil King Warden Rod that fully enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
A faint figure appeared.
– -the previous Devil King.
He silently observed Gu Qing Shan, then asked: Are you the one who has become my successor? J
“Yes, senior, I’ve witnessed your battle against the Heavenly Emperor” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The figure restlessly asked: r Did you manage to observe the One Being
Myriad Lives Art? J
Gu Qing Shan answered: “I’m sorry, I wasn’t strong enough so I had no choice but to hide inside the Grand Tie Wei Mountain towards the end, unable to see that Art”
The previous Devil King sighed in relief, then told him in a low voice: I left the very final moment within the scepter, just to inform you of one thing J
“What is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The previous Devil King then said: Think about what I told you at that time
r You only have one opportunity J
r ——-the Samsara’s future will depend on your choice today, so as you learn of more secrets, I hope that you won’t regret your current choice J
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Your Grace, I don’t understand what you mean”
The Devil King’s figure gradually faded away.
He looked straight into Gu Qing Shan’s eyes and whispered: It’s nearly impossible to predict the future, but the Samsara isn’t fated to head towards destruction forever; there will eventually be a time when the cycle repeats, and you are standing right at that time J r —– -be careful, he’s coming J
As he left those words, the Devil King’s figure completely disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan was stupefied for a split second before he realized something.
Could the previous Heavenly Emperor be appearing soon ?
Gu Qing Shan felt tense.
With the Huang Quan realm’s current situation, the onlypossible way to turn this around would be to release the quintillions of dead people within h.e.l.l!
In other words– – – –
Whatever I need to do, I’d better do it now!
Gu Qing Shan raised the Devil King Warden Rod and exclaimed: “Dead beings of this realm, heed my order– –
Suddenly, a nameless force manifested out of thin air before penetrating into the Devil King Warden Rod, forcing the ma.s.sive red glow of the staff back into itself.
The Devil King Warden Rod trembled intensely.
Even though it had no artifact spirit, it was still expressing an intense bout of anger.
– – -almost instinctively.
Seeing that unnatural occurrence, Gu Qing Shan swiftly stopped his order and looked back at the Devil King Warden Rod.
Lines of b.l.o.o.d.y red text appeared in front of his vision:
[Warning, the Devil King Warden Rod has been sealed by an unknown force] [Within the next 3 hours, it can only unleash 1 of its natural Thaumaturgies]
[Please choose carefully]
Gu Qing Shan calmed himself down.
He thought about the words that the previous Devil King had told him earlier– –
[ 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! ]
[ Take the Devil King Warden Rod, use its power, and flee as far as you can! ]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and vanished from where he was standing.
Back on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
Gu Qing Shan had just appeared out of thin air to stand next to the skull woman.
The skull woman was wounded all over.
If not for her taking the brunt of the attacks, their defense line would have been breached already.
Seeing the Devil King Warden Rod in Gu Qing Shan’s hand, the skull woman appeared clearly glad and swiftly said: You made it! Hurry up and release the quintillions of dead people in h.e.l.l to help us win against these monsters and traitors! J
Gu Qing Shan hesitated and looked towards the countless monsters in the sky.
In the next 3 hours, the Devil King Warden Rod can only unleash 1 Thaumaturgy.
Even after the first Heavenly Emperor imposed this limit, he’s still hiding in the shadows without showing up.
Even ifI want to flee, I need to resolve the current situation first before I can do that.
What is the first Heavenly Emperor trying to do?
Gu Qing Shan contemplated, then put the Devil King Warden Rod away.
Now.
Isn’t time yet.
He took a deep breath and muttered in his mind: “True Devil of Antiquity,
Overlooker of Myriad Realms… are you present?”
Swiftly, a booming voice resonated out of nowhere:
r I am up here in the Saint Realm, witnessing your battle against the Lord of all Things J
— -it’s here!
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: “Can you take a look at my enemies if there are any that suit your taste?”
The Overlooker of Myriad Realms’ voice suddenly became spirited, but also regretful: r Unfortunately, they are… all alive. Only after they are dead would I be able to eat, just like how it was in the Dusty World J
Gu Qing Shan discreetly nodded.
Back in the Dusty World, against the Apocalyptic monster that cannot be heard or spoken of, it was Gu Qing Shan who had to kill it first before the Overlooker of Myriad Realms ate it up, then gave its realm artifact to Gu Qing Shan.
“Leave that to me, all you need to do is prepare to devour them all—– I Il really be counting on you for this” Gu Qing Shan said.
No matter how many monsters you can make succ.u.mb to death, I’ll be able to devour them all J the Overlooker of Myriad Realms excitedly replied.
The skull woman had just charged forward, but was forced back again by the four Virtuous Deities as well as the nebula monsters.
She suddenly turned towards Gu Qing Shan and asked: Why haven’t you taken action? J]
“I’m thinking about how best to do that” Gu Qing Shan carefully chose his words: “Huang Quan… is a world of death… in other words, I’m fighting with a home field advantage”
You are the Death G.o.d, of course you have the home field advantage! J the skull woman affirmed.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated for a short while before sighing: “Looks like I’ll be breaking the oath today”
Break the oath? What oath are you breaking the skull woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan then turned towards her with his eyes already transformed into vertical irises as he replied with a whisper: r Normally, us dragons wouldn’t fight openly, but since this is Huang Quan and they’re about to die, it doesn’t matter J
He started flying into the air as he finished speaking.
Lines of b.l.o.o.d.y red text appeared in the void of s.p.a.ce:
[You are the Death G.o.d of the River of Death, the Devil King of Huang Quan, one with boundless virtuous karma and Merit]
[All is ready!]
The dragon’s body was clad in sky-high black flames, he then uttered a prolonged roar.
The dragon’s roar reverberated across the entire void of s.p.a.ce.
– – -Azure Dragon Origin Hex!
Instantly, the monsters that filled the sky became restrained, unable to move a single muscle.
At the very next moment.
Evidently pleased with the results, the black dragon exerted the black flames around its body in every direction.
As the boundless flames of death filled the world of Huang Quan, the monsters were unable to take evasive actions and were engulfed in the intense fire.
Seeing that, the black dragon spun in the sky and uttered another roar: r
—Guidance! J
Death G.o.d’s Divine Skill, [Divine Guidance]!
The countless monsters in the sky immediately began to descend towards the ground like water in the rain.
Within this world of the dead, they received the [Divine Guidance] of the Death G.o.d and became dead beings.
As soon as they lost their lives, the Dragon Hex no longer affected them.
Maniacal laughter reverberated from above the sky:
Laughable, you actually turned us into dead beings. Then we’re going to use our new ident.i.ties as dead beings against you and take over Huang Quan legitimately! J
The monsters that had been guided to death gradually regained their consciousness as they descended to the ground.
Since Huang Quan is the realm of the dead, after turning into dead beings, they became even more adapted to the Laws of this world!
The black dragon circled the sky briefly before landing back down on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
He vocalized with another resounding roar: r Come, descend! True Devil of Antiquity! J
Following this roar, the whole world of Huang Quan was suddenly plunged into an eerie silence.
As if all sound has vanished entirely.
The faint yellow world was gradually being replaced by a different glow.
— -a b.l.o.o.d.y red glow.
The fog gradually manifested.
At some unknown point, a humongous crimson pillar was standing in between heaven and earth.
An eerie and ferocious figure was continuously s.h.i.+fting its form within the pillar..
