The space vortex.
As soon as her airship ripped the void of space open, Reneedol watched as the other two ships headed in different directions.
Seemed like the destinations of the ships weren’t the same.
She then carefully observed her surroundings.
Within the gloomy space vortex, the wind blew nonstop.
This was a part of space that existed outside of the world, a place that Reneedol was very familiar with.
Reneedol slowly relaxed.
Using this period of peace she had, she began to ponder over the matter of the girl ‘Xie Dao Ling’.
This might be an opportunity.
“I will do my best to discern the girl’s background, please grant me a bit more power to allow me to pass this trial” she spoke to the void of space.
At the very next second.
A rune that gave off an overwhelming destructive presence abruptly lit up in her palm.
The rune only flashed into existence briefly before it completely vanished.
From the distant darkness, a ray of dark purple light shot through the void and struck her body.
Clank clank thud——–
Reneedol lost her balance and almost fell down.
The light remained on her body for a while before it completely disappeared.
Reneedol kept her eyes closed with her body still trembling, apparently in the middle of absorbing something.
“How unexpected, for me to obtain so much power so easily… it seems like that girl is valued quite highly by the Apocalypse…”
She silently thought.
Right at this moment, an airship appeared.
The airship seemed to be cautiously circling around a few times before it approached her airship.
“Third brother?”
Zhao Kuan stood on top of the airship and cautiously tried asking.
Reneedol was surprised and opened her eyes, then heaved out a long sigh.
“Senior brother, why are you here?” she calmly asked.
Zhao Kuan laughed and replied: “We brothers should move together, that way we’d be able to better take care of one another”
Reneedol imitated Shen Yang’s tone: “Sure”
Zhao Kuan put his airship away and nimbly leapt onto Reneedol’s airship.
“Junior brother, I have a secret technique here that Master wanted me to secretly give to you, he said it was to avoid second brother from feeling left out”
Zhao Kuan handed a jade tag over to her.
“Oh? Then thank you, senior brother” Reneedol reached her hand out to receive the jade tag.
As soon as the jade tag touched her hand, a thick layer of ice erupted from it to freeze Reneedol.
Zhao Kuan drew his sword and grinned: “Very well, third brother, let eldest brother make sure you won’t be worrying about anything else from now on”
He pierced his sword through Reneedol’s body, then cut her in half with a single slash.
Thud!
The frozen body fell onto the deck of the airship with a heavy thud.
Zhao Kuan sheathed his sword and shook his head: “Shen Yang—– your display was even poorer compared to Huang Zhan; I really wonder what Master saw in you”
He crouched down to grab the icy bracelet on his wrist.
As soon as he touched her, he suddenly found himself unable to move away.
The ice that froze the other party’s body began to spread onto his body like it was alive.
The two halves of Shen Yang’s body began to slowly fuse back together and regained their former vitality.
“No… how is that possible…” Zhao Kuan exclaimed with a frightful expression.
Reneedol looked at him with an unchanged expression and lightly stroked his face.
“No one had ever tried to deceive me like that before. Fortunately, I’ve regained my power and can no longer be killed so easily”
She lightly tapped Zhao Kuan’s body.
With a curt scream, Zhao Kuan’s entire body was reduced to fine dust scattering into the void like mist.
Reneedol glanced at the corpse-shaped mist and said: “What piece of garbage, there’s so little power”
She lightly blew with her mouth.
All the dust was blown away, leaving only a small bit of glowing dark purple dust that she kept.
The light faded away.
A bit more vitality appeared on Reneedol’s face.
While standing on the airship, a layer of unpredictable purple glow appeared behind her.
“The sensation brought by power… how truly delightful…”
Reneedol ecstatically muttered.
Suddenly—–
A sword flew towards her from a distance and hovered right above the deck of the airship.
The Earth sword.
This sword was the key part of this entire trial!
「 Shen Yang, that aura you’re giving off is the aura of Apocalypse! 」
「 You all disappoint me greatly. I can’t believe that not only did you three disciples of Xie Gu Hong slaughtered one another, but you had also pledged yourself to the Apocalypse 」
The Earth sword’s mountain heavy voice resounded.
Reneedol’s expression changed.
Before she could do anything, the Earth sword had already turned into a flash of light and vanished into the distance.
“It ran away?” Reneedol exclaimed in shock.
Right as she was about to give chase, she abruptly stopped.
Another dangerous presence had appeared on the other side of the airship, forcing her to remain still.
The dark figure of light.
The dark figure of light had directly appeared within this trial.
“Strange, didn’t you say that you can only appear once? Why are you here again?” Reneedol asked in shock.
As the dark figure of light looked at her, its voice turned frigidly cold: 「 The Earth sword had rejected you 」
“I know, I was just about to chase after it” Reneedol replied.
The dark figure of light shook its head: 「 You still haven’t understood? Without being accepted by the sword spirit, even if you manage to catch that sword, you would never be able to use its power. In fact, it might destroy itself rather than to let you touch it 」
It sighed and continued: 「 Facing death, you chose to wag your tail to the Apocalypse like a dog to its master—– you aren’t worthy of searching for the twin swords Heaven and Earth, and you definitely aren’t worthy of wielding them. I had better do this myself 」
“Then what about me?” Reneedol asked.
「 You? You can die right here 」the dark figure of light mocked.
Its figure flashed and threw a punch towards Reneedol, easily making her explode into a mass of blood.
The wind from the Space Vortex blew the blood away into the darkness.
The dark figure of light pulled its fist back and confusedly shook its head: 「 How did someone like that reach a point like this? 」
Suddenly——
A layer of purple light began to converge in the void of space.
Reneedol’s voice resounded from the light:
“You are powerful, but I suggest you stop meddling with my business, unless—–”
“You want to witness the true power of the Apocalypse”
The light flashed and returned to the ship, once again manifesting into human form.
Reneedol.
She had resurrected herself.
The dark figure of light took a step back and cautiously observed her.
「 …You don’t seem like a cultivator at all, so I’ve actually been mistaken. Who exactly are you? 」the dark figure of light asked with a solemn tone.
Reneedol coldly spoke: “Scram, I have a lot I need to do here, there’s no time for me to play with you”
After saying that, she suddenly thought of something——
This guy can freely travel through Space-Time.
This is a precious ability.
Should I absorb it for myself?
…
The Age of Immemorial.
Next to a lake.
Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk were fishing.
Little Dusk suddenly lifted her fishing rod and called out: “Whoa, take a look, brother, I got such a big fish!”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “What? How did you catch such a big one?”
The two of them put the fish into a basket.
“Little Dusk, go back and prepare for a bit, we’re going to have grilled fish tonight” Gu Qing Shan told her.
“Hm”
Little Dusk carried the fish basket over her shoulder and happily headed back into the jungle.
Gu Qing Shan sat still and cast his rod to continue fishing.
There was no one around him.
“What’s the matter? Your excellency?” he asked.
The hoarse female voice echoed: 「 An unexpected situation had occurred in the Deathmatch. Your opponent had summoned a true Apocalypse from outside the Reality Gate 」
Gu Qing Shan’s expression faltered a bit.
Boss was now no longer sharing his power with Reneedol, but with Demon Dragon’s help, Reneedol managed to summon a true Apocalypse before her last moments.
Even within the Deathmatch Dance, she could still summon an Apocalypse!
“So she summoned a true Apocalypse within the Deathmatch Dance… What will happen now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The true Apocalypse is attempting to bypass the Parallel World technique to locate your Reality’s location among the countless copies of Reality 」the hoarse female voice explained.
“Is there any way to resolve this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Because your opponent involved a third party in the Deathmatch Dance, not only did she violate the established rules, but she also summoned true Apocalypse; so I am able to do two things: Firstly, I can help you call one person as reinforcement; and secondly, I can take you there to kill her 」the hoarse female voice explained.
“Alright, but this place——” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.
「 ——this place is still only an illusion created by the Deathmatch, but her side is already being converted into a parallel world to temporarily deceive the Apocalypse——– you need to kill her quickly, otherwise, there would be terrible consequences if she’s left alone for too long! 」the hoarse female voice said with a slight urging tone.
Gu Qing Shan put the fishing rod away.
“Please help me summon my reinforcement, we’re going to kill her right away!”
