Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1115: {Yama King} Realm Tribulation

The Abyssal ring gave off a cluster of light flickering briefly in the void of space before jetting through the darkness.

——-the Eternal Abyss would soon obtain this information.

Gu Qing Shan put the ring away, then sat calmly on the sofa collecting his thoughts.

...

“We shall become wraiths and survive within this Apocalypse”

“... we shall replenish the entire Wraith realm...”

...

Recalling those words, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but scowl.

There was a Wraith realm in my homeworld as well, but it was easily dealt with by just Kitty and myself.

The only realm in my homeworld with Divine Armaments was the Huang Quan realm, so the Samsara there was most likely created with the help of a fragment from Huang Quan as its foundation.

Combined with what I learnt just now; the parallel world waging war against the Eternal Abyss seems to have been a Wraith realm fragment world.

Replenish...

The more powerful the world is, the more powerful the living beings within that world would become.

This principle is most likely the same even among the worlds of the Samsara.

I wonder how many fragments had that Wraith realm managed to replenish, and how powerful it had actually become.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, but then noticed something.

He tapped his Inventory Bag.

A cold light flew out from within, manifesting as a sword which was hovering upright.

“You’re awake?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.

“Hm, from a very long nap”

A lazy female voice sounded from the Heaven sword.

Following that, a beautiful girl appeared from the Heaven sword, casually taking a seat across from Gu Qing Shan.

Luo Bing Li.

“What happened recently?” she asked.

“I got to know a few new friends, and even danced together” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Luo Bing Li recalled how Gu Qing Shan danced, then giggled while covering her mouth: “Then seems like I missed quite a few interesting matters, do you mind recounting them for me?”

Gu Qing Shan told her what had transpired.

Luo Bing Li’s expression slowly turned serious.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “I’m preparing to break through to the next realm, can you participate in combat?”

Luo Bing Li sensed the spirit energy fluctuations he gave off and smiled: “{Yama King} realm?”

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Luo Bing Li then advised him: “You should be careful, a cultivator who’s always fighting like yourself might not be able to return once you’ve calmed down and relieved yourself from battles”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “On my path so far, I’ve killed so many people that my karma is probably ruined, the Yama Heavenly realm is probably going to kick me out really fast”

Luo Bing Li glanced at him, then suddenly lowered her head: “Now that you mention combat, I’ve actually had some time to ponder during my half-asleep, half-awake state”

“Ponder?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Luo Bing Li slowly explained: “Perhaps it was because I’ve disguised myself as a cultivator for too long during the Age of Old that I’ve become immersed with the mortal world——- as the spirit of a sword, the meaning of my existence should be to fight and kill”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “That’s not necessarily the case, there should always be the time for rest between work, a bit of time to let loose; only a mix of hard work and relaxation can truly allow one to exert their maximum potential”

Luo Bing Li gave him a sidelong glance, then relaxed a bit: “I’ve never seen you rest”

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a bottle of spirit liquor, and poured each of them one shot.

The two of them cheered and downed the entire shot in one gulp.

“Strong liquor?” Luo Bing Li frowned a bit.

“If you’re not used to it, I can give you some spirit fruit punch instead” Gu Qing Shan offered.

“No need”

Luo Bing Li took the entire bottle and poured another shot for Gu Qing Shan.

“Actually, while sleeping, I was studying the Elemental Sound techniques that I’ve learnt” she told him.

Elemental Sound techniques?

Gu Qing Shan focused his thoughts.

In reality, as a cultivator, Luo Bing Li was only slightly weaker compared to Xie Gu Hong from the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.

If only continuous attacks were considered, she could actually be proclaimed as the strongest.

It was for that reason that Xie Gu Hong consulted her when there was an issue on the frontlines.

Taking another sip, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall the time when he had just joined Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, where Luo Bing Li’s flute dispelled the demons from on top of the mountain.

He softly recited: “Remember when I was drinking on top of the bridge; Those who sat in were named heroes”

Luo Bing Li also poured herself a shot and continued: “The moon drifting in the watery sunset; Among the sparse flowers of autumn, a single flute resounding through the night[1]”

After saying so, she drank the entire shot at once.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at her lonely expression and pondered: “I have a technique that allows you to turn into a human, are you willing to learn it?”

Luo Bing Li asked: “Was it that technique Shannu always used to turn into a human?”

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.

Luo Bing Li pondered for a long while, seemingly hesitant about something.

After a bit, her brows finally unknitted themselves.

Luo Bing Li put the shot glass down and clasped her fist: “This technique will be very useful, please teach me”

Gu Qing Shan then proceeded into explaining to her the fundamentals of [Mystery of All Beings Equal], carefully breaking down the various key points and confusing parts, making it easier for her to understand.

After listening to his explanation, Luo Bing Li fell into thought.

“I will most likely need a bit of time to study this technique” she said.

“That’s fine, slowly learn it, one day you will be able to turn back into a cultivator and walk the infinite worlds” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Luo Bing Li paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: “I’ve always complained because you use [Chaotic Flow] too much and even protested against using it, aren’t you afraid that after learning this Mystery, I will run away?”

Gu Qing Shan put his shot glass down and replied sincerely: “A cultivator chooses their sword as much as a sword chooses their cultivator, this is a commonly recognized principle between swords and sword cultivators—— if you and I really aren’t fit for each other, there’s no need to hesitate, you can leave to find the sword wielder you wish for, I definitely won’t refuse”

Luo Bing Li lowered her head, poured herself another shot of liquor, and slowly sipped on it, no longer bothering to say anything.

“The time for rest is over, I’ll begin my breakthrough now”

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded to Luo Bing Li and closed his eyes.

——–he began to break through his current realm triggering Heaven’s Tribulation.

Luo Bing Li took the last sip of liquor from her shot glass before returning to the Heaven sword.

The Heaven sword fell behind Gu Qing Shan and disappeared into the void of space, standing by the Earth sword and Chao Yin sword.

The Earth sword sent its voice: 「 Have you thought of a solution? 」

Luo Bing Li sent her voice back: “Hm, with this Mystery, I’m even more assured”

The Earth sword asked again: 「 What about our remaining components? 」

Luo Bing Li replied: “They’re all currently with me”

The Earth sword continued: 「 You’re the main artifact spirit, so I’ll have to trouble you 」

Luo Bing Li told it: “It’s not the time for that yet, no need to mention it”

The two swords then stopped sending their voices back and forth.

They silently watched over Gu Qing Shan.

Time slowly passed.

At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and formed a hand seal.

This was a hand seal to circulate all of a cultivator’s spirit energy to strike the Dantian as well as the numerous acupoints around their bodies, created for the sake of displaying all of a cultivator’s power.

With this hand seal, Gu Qing Shan’s presence skyrocketed, allowing the Laws of Reality to sense him from the void.

Lines of glowing text appear one after another:

[Your strength has far surpassed the limit of Paragon realm, while still steadily increasing without stopping]

[You are currently breaking through to {Yama King} realm]

[In 5 seconds, the {Yama King} Tribulation shall begin]

[5]

[4]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[The {Yama King} Tribulation has officially begun]

An invisible Law descended on Gu Qing Shan from the void.

Gu Qing Shan immediately vanished from the ship.

...

A sea of clouds.

Another sea of clouds.

Gu Qing Shan lightly drifted along the wind, landing in front of a pavilion above the clouds.

He looked around, not hiding his surprise.

Unlike the layer of clouds where the Giant of Beginning was located, this sea of clouds seemed different.

Lotus heads growing in bunches, the clouds drifting faintly like mist, the sound of faint singing echoing across numerous heavenly buildings.

All sorts of strange and precious resources ripe for harvesting were scattered all over the mountains.

Spirit water springs were surging and flowing as clear as crystal.

Numerous boats and ships floating above the clouds, cultivators arriving and leaving as they pleased.

This was essentially the sight of heaven spoken of in legends.

—-the Yama Heavenly realm was rumored to be the greatest realm of the Heaven realm, a world where those without great karma could never set foot

As cultivators begin their path from the Qi Training realm, they must undergo countless hardships and tribulations, only when they reach {Yama King} realm would the Heaven’s Tribulation change to be in their favor.

This Tribulation was a karmic reward.

Gu Qing Shan was pondering the situation of this Tribulation, so he stood still for a while.

He appeared from the sea of clouds above, a sudden appearance.

But the cultivators who passed by the lone pavilion would either take a single glance and nod at him before flying away or not bother to look at him at all.

Several cultivators had formed groups, taken a cloud for themselves, and arranged banquets where they welcomed even more guests.

Some male and female cultivators went together as a couple, playfully chasing one another while picking the precious resources from inside the sea of clouds, happily frolicking until they eventually went far away.

A cultivator who was alone randomly swung his hand to summon numerous heavenly girls of unrivaled beauty from the void of space to accompany him.

After observing for a while, Gu Qing Shan sighed and praised: “The Yama Heavenly realm truly lives up to its reputation”
