Chapter 1573 - I’ll seize my time
Chapter 1573: I’ll seize my time
On a mountaintop.
Reneedol’s body completely dissolved into the light, leaving no traces of her existence behind.
Boss stood still, silently waiting for all the light to fade away with the wind.
Everything was over.
There wasn’t anyone else around.
Boss’ expression gradually went cold.
Suddenly—–
A ray of dark purple light descended from outside and landed in front of him, manifesting into a humanoid figure.
This entity was several dozen meters tall, it hovered right above the mountaintop to observe Boss.
「 You hindered me 」
The humanoid giant made of dark purple light spoke.
Boss coldly replied: “Regardless, she is dead”
The dark purple giant softly chuckled: 「 You deceived the woman you love, killed her, then threw her soul into the deepest depths of the River of Death, what a cruel one you are 」
“I’ve always been such a person” Boss replied.
The dark purple giant appeared a bit surprised and said: 「 …An entity like you fits my taste exceptionally well, what do you say about joining us? 」
Boss calmly said: “Without her as the catalyst, you’ll have to leave this place without the time to even attempt something, and you’re still trying to bother me?”
He swiped his hand into the void of space.
Seven strands of hair as long as an adult human that appeared similar to tentacles appeared from the void of space, which he swiftly caught and hid away.
These were the hairs that Reneedol had stolen from the Eternal Abyss, and now they’d returned to their original owners.
During the entire process, the dark purple giant simply watched without doing anything at all.
Just like Boss had said, it currently had no way of doing anything.
However, the giant suddenly crouched down and let go of something from its palm.
A layer of dark purple light manifested into a strange rune that fell in front of Boss.
「 You can touch those strands of hair? It seems your talent had far surpassed other living beings and is completely qualified to join the Apocalypse camp 」
「 Come, accept this rune, you will be able to communicate with us and fully stand on the side of Apocalypse, you will no longer fear any deaths! 」
Boss returned it a look of disdain: “I will not pledge myself to Apocalypse, stop your delusions”
The giant wasn’t angry and patiently explained: 「 In reality, the Apocalypse exists everywhere——- for example, within a food chain, the hunters at the higher level would always be considered the Apocalypse of the ones below them; flames burn through all things, so it is the Apocalypse of all things; light eliminates darkness, so light is the Apocalypse of darkness; for the worlds as a whole, living beings are parasites that live off of it, so ‘living beings’ are the Apocalypse of the world, and their own destruction is the greatest gift that a living being can grant the world 」
「 Come, the Reality Gate has opened once again, you’ve obtained the chance to enter the side of Apocalypse 」
「 I hope you can treasure—– 」
Before it finished its words.
A flash of light flew towards it from afar.
The sword phantom erupted like a pillar of light that connected heaven and earth, directly striking the dark purple giant’s body.
In an instant, the giant was completely erased like it never existed in the first place.
Shiing!
A sword with an ancient design was embedded into the rock surface below, radiating a terrible sword qi.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand to pull the sword out and wielded it.
“It’s over?” he asked.
“It’s over”
Boss nodded, then shook his head: “After she died, I didn’t want her soul to be stolen by the Apocalypse, so I sent her into the River of Death. Perhaps one day, she will reincarnate in a different world——– but she would no longer be related to any of us”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and expressed his agreement.
He then turned to the void of space: “Venerable lady, this is only the second round of the Deathmatch, but Reneedol had already been thoroughly killed, how do we account for this?”
The hoarse female voice replied: 「 It is fine. When she was about to die earlier, I had canceled the Deathmatch, so she will not resurrect to compete in the third round against you 」
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This kind of thing was possible?
It’s like a Divine Skill made for scamming others.
Perhaps she knew what he was thinking, the hoarse female voice continued: 「 Gu Qing Shan, you must understand that the Sacrificial Dance has to continuously change and evolve. As the Sacrificial Dance was broken through by the Apocalypse this time, it will surely undergo more changes and manifest completely different forms of Deathmatches, I hope that you will be able to grasp it all again 」
「 And now, it is all coming to an end 」
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: “Please give me a bit more time”
「 The power of the Sacrificial Dance can only last for another ten minutes 」the hoarse female voice replied.
“That’s enough, I’ll seize my time!” Gu Qing Shan said.
He manifested numerous sword seals in his mind, then used Huang Quan Origin power to activate them one after another.
With a loud whistling noise, the Earth sword shot into the sky.
…
Far above the sky.
The Divinity’s palaces.
The Earth sword moved rapidly as it divided itself into numerous black sword shadows, each of which killed a Divinity.
It rampaged in an unstoppable manner, and in the end, it manifested into a gigantic sword phantom that slashed through the collective array of Divinity palaces.
Secret Art, [River Traversing Iron Sword]!
Earth sword Thaumaturgy, [Earth’s Choice]!
The Divine race as a whole and all traces of their existence were completely erased by the Earth sword.
…
At another location.
A hidden location.
The greatest cultivators of humanity were all gathered here, pooling all of their power to forge the legendary sword.
The screams and cries of battle resounded outside.
Everyone’s expressions were tense.
The Immortal King sighed and told them all: “It’s not good, we will most likely have to focus all of our powers, even our lives itself in order to let the Heaven sword——–”
A female voice suddenly echoed to cut him off:
“No need”
Everyone’s expressions changed and hurriedly turned to where the voice came from.
Only to see a woman standing leisurely at the door looking at them.
“Huh? Barren Clouds Heavenly Palace, Fine Sound Peak master, Luo Bing Li? Why are you here?” the Immortal King asked.
He glanced at everyone to signal them with his gaze.
Everyone kept up their guard.
Luo Bing Li saw all of this and smiled: “There’s no need to be so cautious of me, I’m only here to eliminate the Divinities and the Desolate monsters outside”
She turned to the sword in the furnace.
Only to see the basic form of a sword being doused in flames to undergo calcination.
Luo Bing Li appeared reminiscent and muttered to herself: “180 types of precious materials, 599 days of calcination, 7961 hammering cycles, this sword is the culmination of countless individual’s blood and lives…”
Her voice slowly sounded dejected.
Outside, the sound of Divinity roaring in battle as well as the sound of humanity’s troops fighting against them could be heard.
Luo Bing Li regained her senses, turned to the Immortal King, then clasped her fist.
“Do not worry, you can take your time with forging this sword, there is no need to be in a hurry—— I guarantee that no one will die for the sake of this sword”
She turned around and left the forge.
In an instant, the screams and cries of countless monsters echoed from outside the door.
A few minutes later.
All the commotion had ceased.
The Immortal King pushed the door open to look outside, only to be stunned by what he saw.
There weren’t any living beings left outside.
…
At another location.
The Desolate plains.
This was the Desolate monster’s kingdom, a place that no human cultivator had ever reached while they were still alive.
The sun had only risen not too long ago, but the entire world had gone dark.
Not even one’s own fingers could be seen in front of one’s face.
「 What’s going on? Send some men out to check the situation 」the Desolate monster king ordered.
「 Your majesty, it’s not good, a tsunami——- it’s a great tsunami! 」two monsters hurriedly stumbled in to report.
A tsunami?
The Desolate monster king flew out from the palace and hovered in mid-air.
「 How could… this has happened… 」
It blankly muttered.
…
In the distance.
The ocean had enveloped the sky and roared as it devoured everything.
There was a sword within the tides.
It was continuously releasing sword phantoms within the ocean water to kill every monster that was swallowed by the waves.
The world was soaked.
——–this was so shocking that not even the Desolate monster king knew what to do.
Its gaze gradually became solemn.
A few moments later.
A spear radiating seven colors appeared in its hand.
「 No matter what happens, as long as I have this spear—– 」
Before the Desolate monster king could finish its words, another flash of light had appeared from the void of space.
An autumn water-like blue steel sword gave off a faint glow before unleashing two strikes.
A slash of ice.
And a slash of fire.
The Desolate monster king was frozen in place by the frost, unable to move a muscle.
The flames completely melted away the spear images that the 7-colored spear tried to unleash.
And the sword arrived.
Clang!
A resounding sound of impact.
The 7-color spear was struck and sent flying outside of the world, vanishing without a trace.
「 NO! 」
The Desolate monster king exclaimed in shock.
It wanted to do something——–
But the tsunami abruptly rose several hundred meters higher to completely swallow it up as well.
The Chao Yin sword flashed and unleashed a strike imbued by [Dreamjolt] within the tsunami!
The lightning spread throughout the water and struck the Desolate monster king in an instant.
The Desolate monster king was unable to move.
The autumn water-like blue steel sword swiftly followed up without giving it any chance at all.
——-third strike, [Sun Moon Eclipse]!
The invisible Mind Sword slashed forward with a sharp whistling noise as it struck the Desolate monster king.
Sha!
The Desolate monster king’s body was finely diced into a mass of flesh and blood.
A sharp female voice resounded from the blood:
『 DETESTABLE, I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE——-』
A male voice then swiftly followed: 「 I’M GOING TO KILL YOU! 」
A towering figure emerged from the blood.
——-the Soul Shrieker.
It took a deep breath and was about to unleash a shriek.
But the autumn water-like blue steel sword suddenly turned into a girl dressed in blue.
The girl glanced at it.
Countless sword phantoms manifested and slashed the Soul Shrieker in rapid succession.
The instantaneous 36 strikes sent the Soul Shrieker flying far above the sky.
——–Huang Quan Divine Skill, Iris Sword, [Forgetting River Severance]!
The girl turned back into a sword and swiftly followed up.
At this point, two rays of light flew parallel with one another towards her.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth!
“How do we do this?” Luo Bing Li’s voice emerged from the Heaven sword.
「 Old Gu said that he will continuously unleash sword seals for us to send it all the way back to the Eternal Abyss and ensure that it’ll die for the next 10,000 years 」the Earth sword replied.
“Then…” Shannu followed up.
Oong!!
The Chao Yin sword flashed forward and attacked first.
From a distance.
One could only see four rays of light continuously chasing the Soul Shrieker while striking its body, pushing it towards the Eternal Abyss.
——In the middle of that, the Soul Shrieker’s screams and shouts stopped.
It had entered a state of death.
For the next 10,000 years, it would be forced to lay in slumber within the Abyss, unable to leave or do anything evil again.
