Worlds’ Apocalypse Online-Chapter 396: The first step

In front of the weapons, Gu Qing Shan openly swore the oath.

“I swear on my life to save the world of Huang Quan, otherwise I will die and my soul will be taken deep into hell”

An invisible wind fluttered around Gu Qing Shan’s body, not going away even after a while.

So swear upon the heaven and earth, it has been done.

Seeing that, Shannu’s expression was a bit complicated.

“For what reason did you come here? For Huang Quan? For the human realm?”

“Or perhaps this is a moment of passion, where you believe that you are the messiah chosen by the gods above, so you were willing to swear on your life?”

She couldn’t understand.

“It’s because I’ve already swore on that” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Shannu froze.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “From the very first moments that I came to Huang Quan, I’ve already bet my life on this, to change everything that has happened”

He looked down at the vast river below.

The river was still silently flowing without a care.

The ancient Demon Lord that he killed has already drifted to places unknown.

“Don’t worry, I will win” he muttered.

The weapons were a bit confused, not knowing who he was talking to.

Shannu thought for a bit, then spoke: “Very well, since you’ve swore on it, I will do everything to cooperate with you”

Her body turned into white smoke and went into the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword.

The sword’s tip turned by itself, tilting downwards as it hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan grabbed the sword.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[You’ve received temporary use of the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword]

[The Six Paths Great Mountain Sword, World’s ceremonial sword, Divine Armament of Huang Quan Path]

[This sword’s attributes are unknown]

Seemingly knowing what Gu Qing Shan wanted to ask, more glowing text scrolled through the UI.

[The sword had not recognized you as her master, so you are unable to know all the attributes of this sword]

[According to intelligence known, this sword has at least one Thaumaturgy: Invincible]

[Invincible: All powers and abilities of all the worlds cannot possibly destroy this sword]

Gu Qing Shan noticed something, so he couldn’t help but ask with his inner sight: “What do you mean invincible? She was clearly heavily wounded just before”

[They were the weapon spirit’s wounds, the sword itself was never damaged]

[When the spirit is wounded, the sword will be unable to act by itself, but it can still be used by others]

[Even if the sword’s spirit is killed, the base of the sword would still exist, only its Thaumaturgies will be gone]

The System answered.

“Understood, so that’s what invincible means” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He waved the sword around while silently talking to himself: “It’s fine not knowing the other attributes, I only need the [Invincible] attribute to stop the 7-colored spear for me…”

It was now that the Forgetting River Soul Separating spoke up: “Now that you’ve decided to cooperate, what should we do?”

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “We need to go to the entrance to hell ——–I recall you said that hell is hidden under the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, at the bottom of the Forgetting River right?”

“Indeed” the Forgetting River Soul Separating answered.

“Let’s go”

…

A long journey flying along the bottom of the Forgetting River.

When he got close to where the foot of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain was, Gu Qing Shan noticed a cave hidden below the water.

Having been submerged underwater for so many years, he has to go deep inside to find the pathway to hell.

Bringing the weapons with him, Gu Qing Shan passed through several dozen miles of underwater tunnel before he arrived at the center of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

The center of the mountain was dry and empty.

A dark tunnel about 100 meters tall was in front of Gu Qing Shan.

This was the entrance to hell.

Gu Qing Shan evaluated the tunnel for a bit.

A black-colored light wrapped the outside of the entrance to the tunnel.

When he tried getting close, a force rejected his presence and pushed him back.

“Only the dead may enter here, you might be in soul form right now, but you can’t enter hell” Forgetting River Soul Separating told him.

Gu Qing Shan nodded and asked: “That’s why the demons couldn’t do anything to hell, right?”

“Right”

At this time, the blue-dress girl’s voice came from the sword: “What are you planning to do?”

“The first step is to eliminate the demons” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

On top of the mountain.

While being sealed by the gold talisman, the 7-colored spear still managed to fire off a brilliantly blinding phantom spear.

This phantom spear shot up towards the sky.

In the sky, all 36 Huang Quan weapons were releasing a shining light.

The lights connected to one another, forming the Great Sealing Formation that received the phantom spear.

The formation and the spear met.

Light and dark flickered without end.

The 36 weapons were also crying out without end.

They couldn’t stop it anymore.

The stalemate was about to be over.

The weapons are about to be destroyed by the 7-colored light.

All of a sudden, an increasingly bright faint light came out from the Forgetting River.

The light quickly ascended, finally arrive in the middle of the 36 Huang Quan weapons.

A khopesh appeared.

“Back down, all of you” the Forgetting River Soul Separating ordered.

“If we do, no one else can hold it off” a weapon refused.

“Back down, what you need to do now is to preserve your life, there will be others to deal with the spear!” the Forgetting River Soul Separating shouted.

As one of the three Divine Armaments of Huang Quan, its words are trusted by the weapons.

The 36 Huang Quan weapons retreated.

While retreating, they still maintained the Great Formation.

——–it’s because they don’t dare to cancel it out entirely right away.

If they did, the 7-colored spear might instantly kill them.

After the weapons retreated.

The 7-colored spear returned to silence.

On another part of the mountain, the countless demons and Demon Lords watching this once again broke out into frenzied laughter.

They were laughing, howling, throwing their bodies in the air to signify another victory.

Aside from where the 7-colored spear rests, everywhere else have already been taken over by the demons.

Not counting hell itself, this world is already theirs.

At this point, a figure came out from the Forgetting River.

Gu Qing Shan.

Holding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand, he headed for the top of the mountain.

He was moving towards the 7-colored spear as fast as he could.

On the other side, the demons once again got rowdy.

They were staring at this, waiting to see the scene of the 7-colored spear once again taking a life away.

Gu Qing Shan headed up the barren mountain cliff.

The 7-colored spear seems to ignore this as it didn’t react at all.

Only when Gu Qing Shan was half-way there ——–

A phantom spear shot out from the 7-colored spear, aimed at Gu Qing Shan.

This spear’s length was over a few hundred meters long, instantly making it to where Gu Qing Shan was in the blink of an eye.

Death approaches.

In the very next second, Gu Qing Shan will be killed by the phantom spear.

But Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change one bit, only slightly shifting his body before disappearing in front of the phantom spear.

Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]

Gu Qing Shan appeared at another path and kept heading up the top of the mountain.

On the way, he used [Ground Shrink] again.

An unbelievably long distance was covered in the blink of an eye.

He’ll arrive at the top of the mountain soon!

Seeing how fast and easily the enemy was approaching, the 7-colored spear seems to be surprised.

It releases 3 phantom spears in a row, firing them straight at Gu Qing Shan.

Even the weapons of Huang Quan didn’t receive such a treatment.

The 3 phantom spears followed one another, completely covering the remaining length of the mountain.

Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight locked onto the last phantom spear.

——-Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!

In an instant, he changed places with the last phantom spear.

Gu Qing Shan was now at the top of the mountain.

It’s now or never!

Gu Qing Shan’s body shifted and appeared near the 7-colored spear.

In that split second, intense light erupted from the 7-colored spear.

It wanted to release a few more phantom spears.

Gu Qing Shan was able to attack first!

A phantom sword slash appeared from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

The 7-colored spear hurriedly released a phantom spear to destroy the phantom sword.

The next instant.

The second phantom spear.

The third phantom spear.

The fourth phantom spear.

The fifth phantom spear.

Numerous spears came striking at him.

At this most crucial moment, Gu Qing Shan didn’t even have time to activate a Divine Skill, only retracting the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to block in front of himself.

At the same time.

Across from Gu Qing Shan.

The 7-colored spear.

A phantom sword abruptly appeared from the other side of it.

Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]

[When the sword cultivator attacks with his sword, an exact same attack will appear at the back of the opponent]

Perfectly timed!

This phantom sword connected with the 7-colored spear.

It lightly scraped the surface of the spear.

Knocking the gold talisman away.

The 7-colored spear stopped for a single moment, obviously found that unexpected.

For that short moment, the spear did not release anymore phantom spears to attack Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword up to stop the first few phantom spears.

Clang!

A thunderous noise rang out across the sky.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword had blocked the phantom spear!

This is the power of [Invincible]!

This sword is the hope of survival that Gu Qing Shan found.

Taking advantage of the force of the spear, Gu Qing Shan fell backwards.

The intense force pushed him flying like a comet towards the Forgetting River.

The Forgetting River split apart, welcoming him inside.

Without wasting a single moment, he headed straight for the entrance to hell.

With the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand, dodging constantly while flying backwards, Gu Qing Shan finally stopped at the entrance tunnel to hell.

Rolling down from the sky, he was breathing heavily.

The 7-colored spear is powerful enough to easily kill Divinities and Demon Lords, one small slip up and he would’ve died.

Despite how easy the battle just now seemed, every moment took all of Gu Qing Shan’s battle experience and expertise just to survive.

This was officially the most skillful battle he has ever been through!

Now that he’s able to calm down, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a sense of fatigue.

The weapons surrounded him.

——together with the 36 weapons that retreated before, the total amount of weapons have increased.

The blue-dress girl also appeared, wanting to ask.

What did that accomplished just now?

But before she could, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook became agitated.

“Quickly look!”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook shouted.

“Everyone attach to me, something horrific is happening outside!”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook’s voice seemed a bit frenzied.

The weapons all touched the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.

Gu Qing Shan also touched the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.

The scene of what’s happening outside appeared in their inner sights.

The top of the mountain.

Without the gold talisman to suppress the spear, the situation changed greatly.

When Gu Qing Shan left, the 7-colored spear completely ignored him.

Because it instantly released countless 7-colored phantom spears to rip the gold talisman to shreds.

But even that wasn’t enough, as tens of millions of phantom spears erupted from the 7-colored spear to thoroughly destroy even the space where the gold talisman fell for 5 breaths straight.

Oong!

Until when the gold talisman was so decimated there wasn’t any traces of it left that the 7-colored spear finally vibrated out of joy.

The next moment ——–

Billions of colorful phantom spears shot out from the spear, covering the entirety of the world of Huang Quan.

“Huang Quan is done for” Shannu glared at Gu Qing Shan and said.

“Keep watching” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Look now!” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook also urged them.

Shannu then infused her inner sight into the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook again.

Originally, the demons have fully taken over the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, only staying away from where the 7-colored spear was.

But now that the gold talisman was gone, the power of the 7-colored spear was fully released without any limiters.

Where was nothing but colorful spear phantoms that filled the world.

Wherever the spears flew, all the demons there died.

Incapable of any resistances, millions, billions of demons were wiped out by the 7-colored spear they brought.

Blood flowed like rivers down the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, going into the Forgetting River.

Only a few particularly powerful Demon Lords could still cry as they ran for their lives.

But in Huang Quan, the only thing besides the Grand Tie Wei Mountain is the Forgetting River and hell.

Demon Lords are unable to enter hell.

Entering the Forgetting River is the same as dying.

The most powerful Demon Lords gathered to form a great barrier, wanting to stop the 7-colored spear.

But it was useless.

This type of resistance only invite even more phantom spears towards them.

Hundreds of thousands of phantom spears showered them like the rain.

They managed to hold on for a few fleeting breaths before the gigantic Demon Lords all fell down one by one.

As the most powerful Demon Lords of the army, they were supposed to head to conquer the human realm after Huang Quan is under their control.

But now, they were similar to ants that were wiped out on the spot indiscriminately by the 7-colored spear.

10 breaths.

In a mere 10 breaths, all the demons and Demon Lords in Huang Quan were no more.

“And done” Gu Qing Shan casually said.
