In the sky, a child silently looked down from above.
Although he appeared even younger than Li San Lang, his gestures and facial expressions were completely unlike that of a 10-ish years old child.
——–the Desolate Beast King God was residing in this body.
His voice was not at all immature, instead resounding and strong:
“Shaman, I’ve always believed you to be an expert in combat, but greatly lacking when it came to strategic thinking. Who would have thought you’ve changed?”
Hearing the other party’s highly probing words, Gu Qing Shan casually responded: “If your body and soul gets continuously eaten away by the endless apocalyptic insects for an endless amount of time, you will also change”
The Desolate Beast King God paused for a bit; his gaze frozen.
Not only him, the others all appeared full of emotions.
They all felt sympathetic
Who among them hadn’t been struggling in the seal of the Apocalypse, only managing to escape the torturous Apocalypse by switching bodies with humans in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts?
That sensation, even thinking about it now, caused them to feel nothing but dread.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t wait for the other party to speak, instead found a chair for himself to sit down.
He leaned back, casually relaxing on the backrest of the chair and told Shan Hai Qi Xia’s group: “Console the others, tell them not to be alarmed”
——–the ceiling of the tower had just been blown open, drawing the attention of many people in the School.
Li Chun Dao and the others were all rushing here.
Shan Hai Qi Xia observed Gu Qing Shan, then the child in the sky.
Their group of over dozens of people had already surrounded their group of 8, which allows them to attack at a moment’s notice.
Even if they let us leave, wouldn’t that mean his grace the Shaman alone would be surrounded by them?
Shan Hai Qi Xia strongly insisted: “We’ll remain here to protect——-”
“Hurry up” Gu Qing Shan raised his voice.
Shan Hai Qi Xia faced Gu Qing Shan’s gaze head on, sensing his determination.
She gritted her teeth and led the others away.
The surrounding group remained where they were, completely motionless as they left.
At this point, on top of the black tower, only a few dozen substituted humans remained with the child in the sky.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the chair across from his own and said: “Come take a seat, let us have a nice and slow chat”
Seeing him act this way, the child spoke in a cold voice: “Shaman, are you so sure that I wouldn’t kill you?”
Gu Qing Shan curtly replied: “I’m no longer myself from the past, if you want to kill me, you’d better be prepared to die as well”
The child wanted to mock, but Gu Qing Shan continued: “The Wraith’s corpse is about to awaken, if we were to fight ourselves to death in this place, wouldn’t that mean those guys get to laugh themselves silly?”
The child opened his mouth, unable to mock that.
Gu Qing Shan observed him, then said: “Now that I’ve awakened, there’s no need for you to bully my subordinates, if there’s anything you need, we can always slowly talk it out”
These three statements went from high to low, firstly stating that he wasn’t afraid to fight, then mentioned that there might be others observing from a secret place, and finally gave the other party some stairs to step down on——-
In the situation where both his eyes were practically blind, Gu Qing Shan had already utilized the art of word manipulation to its limits.
Unless the other party intended to fight to the death, they would surely choose to go down and talk first.
And that wasn’t all, Gu Qing Shan then appeared to ponder before continuing: “I’ve actually just obtained a few pieces of information I’d like to exchange with you”
Information!
The child’s eyes twitched.
In this most crucial moment, the other party said that he had information he wanted to exchange.
The War Shaman is an entity whose identity was comparable to myself; he would definitely not lie about this.
The child stared closely at Gu Qing Shan for a while, then suddenly waved his hand with a smile.
The dozens of black figures in the sky disappeared without a trace.
The child descended and sat down across from Gu Qing Shan.
“What kind of information do you have?” the child said.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on his chair, shrugging: “That will depend on what you can offer in exchange. However, it’s best we first discuss the matter of the Wraith”
“That’s quite simple. I want everything belonging to that Wraith, if there’s a method to enter the True Samsara Tomb, that belongs to me as well” the child replied.
“And me?” Gu Qing Shan curtly asked.
“You? You crave nothing but the secrets of it all, I can consider telling you the secret of the True Samsara Tomb after everything is over, as for those Samsara Delimitation Artifacts, don’t even think about it”
Samsara Delimitation Artifacts?
What are those?
While Gu Qing Shan was confused, he didn’t let it show in his expression and stated: “For this matter, I’ve specifically made some preparations. I’m sure that without me, your journey isn’t going to quite as smooth as you think it will be”
“What kind of preparations?” the child asked.
Gu Qing Shan raised his hand and clenched tightly to form a fist.
A faint yellow glow appeared from his fist.
The child casually glanced through, about to say something when the yellow glow abruptly changed.
All the light suddenly disappeared, instead a dreadful presence started to emanate from the fist.
Although the presence only existed for a brief moment, it was more than enough for the child to feel greatly threatened.
He abruptly stood up and shouted: “What kind of power is that!?”
Gu Qing Shan curtly replied: “Null Tribulation”
The child’s expression changed.
He stared closely at Gu Qing Shan’s clenched fist and spoke in a heavy tone: “That’s impossible, such power couldn’t possibly have come from the Samsara. Your fist technique was [Ethereal]——— what kind of new Deific Authority did you actually obtain?”
Gu Qing Shan remained silent without mentioning another word.
This level of secret was more than enough to deter the other party from acting recklessly before discerning everything.
In truth, Gu Qing Shan had already noticed a certain thing when the fist technique fully awakened
[Grand Mountain], [No Pardon], [Myriad Shadows], and [Null Tribulation] each corresponded to one of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s Thaumaturgies, respectively:
[Protector], [Law Breaker], [Living’s Wisdom], and [Invincible].
[Protector] was able to manipulate the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, while [Grand Mountain] was able to strip other people’s thoughts, causing the target from being unable to control their mind and body.
[Law Breaker] was able to let the divine sword’s attacks to ignore the influence of all Laws, which corresponds to [No Pardon]——–
[No Pardon] was able to destroy all magic and techniques, then, by extension, all things and all living beings.
As for [Invincible]—-
[Invincible: No force within the infinite world is able to harm this sword’s body in any way]
Which corresponds to [Null Tribulation].
[Ethereal – Null Tribulation: When your ‘Grand Mountain’, ‘No Pardon’, and ‘Myriad Shadows’ all strike the enemy, you will be able to draw upon the power of Null Tribulation from within the fragments of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain to attack your enemy]
[The power of Null Tribulation: This is the great cataclysmic power that broke the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and broke through the power of ‘Invincible’, as well as one of the true culprits behind the Samsara’s shattering. The residual fluctuations of this power remains upon the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, recording the tough past of the Samsara]
This description once caused Gu Qing Shan to open his eyes wide as well.
After all, even the Blessed One of the Inner Plane, Grand Empress of the Pantheon, Reneedol only managed to destroy fragments of the Samsara.
The true and complete Samsara shouldn’t have been something she was capable of destroying.
Then, where did the Null Tribulation come from?
The secret of the Null Tribulation lies within this fist technique!
