Chapter 1738 He has arrived!
“We’ve been flying for almost a day already, how tall is this mountain exactly?”
[ This mountain is called Reaching Heaven, I’m not sure how much longer we need to fly in order to reach the top either
…
The wind continuously howled.
Gu Qing Shan was still flying straight up along the steep inner walls of the mountain.
In the darkness below him, an intense and constant sound of impact could be heard from the wall.
——-the monster was rapidly chasing after him following the inner walls.
[ Be careful, it’s catching up to us ] Li An reminded him.
Gu Qing Shan pondered a bit, then reached his hand out and clenched his fist.
Death Match Dance!
The void of space cracked open, from which a skeleton jumped out.
“Go stop that monster” Gu Qing Shan ordered.
The skeleton nodded, picked up a large battle axe from the void of space, then began flying down the wall.
[ That skeleton won’t be a match for that monster Li An told him.
“I know”
Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space again after saying that.
As the void of space fluctuated, another skeleton emerged.
This skeleton was carrying a large sledgehammer on its shoulder and immediately dived down as soon as it appeared.
Gu Qing Shan clapped both hands and shouted: “All at once!”
From the void of space behind him, skeletons began to spawn one after another, each carrying with them a weapon of choice as they dived downwards.
Below.
The sounds of combat could be heard from afar.
Time slowly passed by.
About a minute later, all of the clamor had ceased.
The monster was once again rapidly approaching Gu Qing Shan.
Li An worriedly said: [ You’re currently flying upwards, and those skeletons can’t fight while they’re not under your control to stop the monster from advancing, what now?
Gu Qing Shan replied: “We’re going to stop it
now”
He drew the blade from his hip.
—–this blade was already broken in half, but Gu Qing Shan still held it in his hand without worry.
Raising the blade into the sky, he lightly waved it.
A crimson bolt of lightning emerged from the void of space and condensed itself where the blade was broken, manifesting into a crimson blade.
(Lightning Wraith)!
Wielding the blade with both hands, Gu Qing Shan swung it down with all his strength.
A gigantic crimson blade of lightning flew out from the blade, crackling and booming as it traveled down the vertical inner walls into the darkness.
A few moments later.
A furious roar could be heard from below:
“I… will definitely… kill you!”
Gu Qing Shan silently listened, then suddenly turned his vision towards the broken blade in his hand.
Crack crack crack——-
The broken blade began to give off cracking noises.
Very quickly, the entire blade became separated into numerous tiny pieces as it scattered in mid-air.
The blade was already broken during his fight against the Heavenly Devouring Gu Insect, and now that it had been used as the medium for Tribulation Lightning a second time, it finally couldn’t endure the abuse anymore and shattered.
“Tch…”
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit regretful.
I wish I had a sword right now.
Heaven, Earth, Chao Yin, Shannu, if I had any of them, even with my strength currently being sealed, I wouldn’t have been in so much trouble that I would have to flee.
While he was thinking, Li An spoke up again:
[ You’ve angered it, I think it’s accelerating with all its strength—–
Gu Qing Shan looked down and sure enough felt a terrifying degree of killing intent from the darkness.
The killing intent was entirely focused on him, and it was rapidly approaching.
[ Hurry up and think of something! ]Li An called out.
“It’s ok, I just wanted to see whether or not Tribulation Lightning would be effective” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[ Although Tribulation Lightning contains power to be in awe of, a monster sealed within the Elements War Zone after the Samsara had reset itself wouldn’t be so weak that it could be killed by Tribulation Lightning JLi An said.
“That’s true, my thought process was a bit off” Gu Qing Shan admitted.
He clenched his fist and punched himself in the chest again.
Divine Sword, [Repelling Evil)!
The direction of his flight was suddenly changed.
——he was no longer flying parallel to the inner walls, but was instead flying straight towards it.
[ You’re going to crash! JLi An raised her voice.
“It’s ok, that’s exactly what I was after” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He adjusted his body so that he lightly landed on the wall on all fours, then some arcs of lightning began to radiate from his body.
——–[Lightning Wraith]
Boom!!!
In an instant, his entire body turned into a bolt of lightning that rapidly ascended the inner wall.
——thanks to the force from (Repel Evil), he wouldn’t move away from the inner wall as he ran up, and he wouldn’t fall down either.
And thanks to the speed of (Lightning Wraith), he managed to escape the monster’s pursuit in an instant, quickly widening the distance between them.
In the darkness, only a bolt of lightning could be seen rapidly moving upwards, exactly the same as a reverse shooting star.
Li An spoke again, this time with a bit of a sigh in her voice:
[ I’ve always known that you were a man of excellent mind, always capable of coming up with a countermeasure to any problem you face, but only now could I truly see just now terrific your combative talents are. This is already beyond the limits of imagination ] “You praise me too much, I’m merely running for my life right now, I still haven’t thought of a way to kill it yet” Gu Qing Shan replied. [ Do you intend to kill that monster? JLi An asked.
“That’s right, it impersonated my senior brother and junior sister, this is its death wish without a doubt, but I haven’t thought of a way to catch it yet” Gu Qing Shan replied without changing his expression.
A faint killing intent could be felt radiating from his body.
Li An pondered for a bit and explained: [ I’ve heard of this monster before, the most powerful among the monsters of the Elements War Zone. Apparently, a large reason why the five main Elements are chaotic was because of its existence
Gu Qing Shan was surprised at this information and asked: “What exactly is that monster? Why does it have so many body
parts?”
Li An replied: [ Years ago, when the great tomb appeared in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, numerous void monsters had assumed that a new treasure trove was discovered and gathered in an attempt to compete for the treasures of the Samsara ]
“I know about that. The void monsters ended up being trapped inside the great tomb, unable to leave” Gu Qing Shan followed up.
[ That’s right, so when the Samsara had reset itself, they were almost eradicated as well, but they very quickly realized this. In order to avoid that from happening, they resolved themselves to fuse with each other and become the single most powerful void monster Li An explained.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly and recalled what the Qilin had said:
For example, the Apocalypses that remained within the Samsara, powerful monsters from the Boundless Void, or even the traitorous races during the previous Samsara war. All of them are issues that the Samsara wants to resolve, which Chosen Saints can attempt to earn Merits
“Li An” Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out.
[ What? JLi An replied.
“If I kill this monster——– do you think I would be able to earn a lot of Merit?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Within the Elements War Zone, no one could kill this monster so far, as everyone’s strength is currently sealed——- if you are able to kill it… the Samsara would surely reward you with ample Merit! JLi An affirmed.
Merit…
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became focused.
Even for the sake of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword again, I need to earn enough Merit.
Not to mention how this monster had attempted time and time again to prevent me from entering the Wraith realm’s shelter, impersonating Xiao Lou and Xiu Xiu to try and kill me.
——-wait a minute.
How does it know about Xiao Lou and Xiu Xiu?
Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.
His killing intent abruptly surged like a tidal wave.
[ What’s the matter? JLi An asked.
“…I want to kill it” Gu Qing Shan muttered in a harrowing voice.
| But you don’t have the strength to kill it now. After the Beast King realm becomes accessible and all the Chosen Saints have regained their strength only then would you maybe have some hope of——-|
Suddenly, Li An noticed something and changed the subject: [ Look out ahead! It’s nearly the end!]
Gu Qing Shan looked up again, only to see that there was nothing but a wonderful void filled with stars.
A lotus sat in the middle of the stars, constantly giving off a blinding colorful light.
At the same time, lines of bloody red text rapidly scrolled across his vision:
[The Wraith realm’s shelter is up ahead]
[The Sequence has sensed the manifestation of an unknown power]
(As the only Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm, be prepared to enter the shelter]
[In ten seconds, you will trigger the Wraith realm shelter’s formation]
(10]
[9]
[8]
[…]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly had a realization.
So the entrance to the Wraith realm’s shelter had been hidden inside the empty peak of Mount Reaching Heaven this entire time!
He suddenly stopped moving as he gradually turned back into flesh and blood from his lightning form.
| What is it? The shelter is right in front of you, the monster wouldn’t be able to enter—— what are you waiting for? ]
Li An urged him to hurry up.
“No… I need to resolve the issue with this monster first, otherwise, I wouldn’t be at peace” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[ For what reason? JLi An was confused.
“It’s obviously the amalgamation of all the void monsters, yet it somehow knows about my junior sister and senior brother… I definitely can’t let it go, I need to know how it found out about this” Gu Qing Shan answered in a low voice.
[ But how are you going to capture it? You of all people should know that it’s significantly more difficult to capture something compared to killing it JLi An was still hesitant to support his decision.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
He suddenly turned his head and looked down below.
The monster was still quite a distance away, unable to catch up to him for a short while.
“How long have we been flying for?” he asked.
[ Including that short chase earlier, it should have been one full day and 30 minutes Li An replied.
“That’s enough”
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand into his chest and took out the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.
A line of bloody red text immediately appeared in the void of space:
(Would you like to activate ‘Moon Invitation’?]
[Moon Invitation]——
Is a random summoning.
Furthermore, the summoned individual will only retain one of their abilities.
As I’m currently not strong enough, then what kind of individual should I summon in order to deal with that monster?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a few more lines of bloody red text began to appear in the void of space:
[Attention, you’ve fought alongside people summoned through the ‘Pure Love Gang’ Title]
(That Title’s ability had accumulated a considerable amount of power]
(This summoning will be an absolutely pivotal summon)
(The summoning, as well as the results of this battle, will determine the Title Skill of the ‘Pure Love Gang’ Title]
[Please proceed with utmost seriousness]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through the text and made a decision.
“Speaking of which, ever since I entered the Samsara, it’s been quite a while since I last used that power…” he muttered. [ What are you saying? JLi An asked. “I’m going to kill that monster right here and now” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[How is that possible! If you can actually do it, I’ll change my surname to yours!
Li An was obviously unconvinced.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer her.
Golden light began to surge forward from his body, which then manifested into a golden coin in between his fingers.
Ching ka-ling!
The golden coin gave off an excited noise.
“Very well, let us fight alongside one another!” Gu Qing Shan declared.
He lightly tapped the golden coin.
Some more lines of bloody red text began to appear:
(You’ve activated True Luck!]
(You’ve activated Moon Invitation!]
[Moon Invitation’s summoning target is currently random]
[Attention: Due to the shared Title of ‘Pure Love Gang’ between you and a certain slumbering individual, this summoning will determine the nature of your Title Skill, you will definitely summon an individual that is compatible with the Title)
(Your True Luck is currently in effect]
(Through the name of the ‘Pure Love Gang’, you’ve discovered another male who kept himself pristine, having the potential to join the ‘Pure Love Gang’]
[—-this is because he had already been dumped by the Grand Empress for countless years and yet remained completely faithful to her, only recently was he thoroughly discarded and lost even his qualifications to lick her boots]
[He is the legendary frozen corpse, the Secret Apocalypse, the Samsara Tian Gou]
[—–He has arrived!)
Red threads of light began to descend in front of Gu Qing Shan to manifest a gate.
Bam!
The gates were flung open.
A giant whose entire body was covered in frost manifested in the middle of the darkness.
The presence he gave off had reached an absolute limit, far beyond what a normal person was able to comprehend.
The frost giant quickly noticed and lifted Gu Qing Shan in his hand.
(Long time no see] the giant greeted him.
“That’s right, long time no see” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
The giant complained: (So even the Great Lord of Infinite Origin like myself had to fall into a slumbering state——-] “I’ll come up with a solution for that issue soon” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[So—- are we going to destroy the Heavenly Palace now?]
The frost giant asked with a thunderous voice.
