Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1604: What he was afraid of

The heavenly being’s spirit energy figure glared at Gu Qing Shan and shouted: 「 You violated the rules of heaven, no one would be able to save you today! 」

Gu Qing Shan ignored it completely.

He wielded the Earth sword and flew into the sky.

Above the clouds——–

Gu Qing Shan hovered in mid-air to observe the faraway Heavenly tower.

Within the range of his inner sight, the Heavenly Tower was being enveloped in a colorful glow that exuded a faint sense of solemnity.

——-it was this tower that changed the Shen Wu world.

Gu Qing Shan was feeling an unknown emotion.

When Qing Rou explained how Shifu brought the Heavenly Tower back, her gaze was full of lament.

——-it seems like it wasn’t easy even for Shifu to transport this Heavenly Tower back to the Shen Wu world.

Shifu must have spent a considerable amount of effort on this.

Gu Qing Shan could easily perceive it——-

According to Shifu’s original intentions, the Heavenly Tower would have helped all of the world’s cultivators to become greatly stronger, the Shen Wu world would have grown as a whole, even becoming the most powerful Cultivation-type world.

However.

Shifu ran into some sort of issue that forced her to leave her disciples and left the Shen Wu world.

And then what happened?

Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight was pulled back as he scanned behind him.

Qin Xiao Lou was breathing heavily due to exhaustion, his fingers could be clearly seen trembling.

For a cultivator, this is very unusual.

——-due to how rapidly he had to arrange the formations earlier, even though Qin Xiao Lou could still handle it, his hands are already giving out.

Xiu Xiu, Qing Rou, and Wan Er are all standing next to Qin Xiao Lou while looking at me with expressions of worry and anxiety.

After killing all those thieves and robbers, a heavenly being’s spirit energy figure manifested.

What now?

From all around, a vast number of inner sights appeared from the countless sects to observe the region around Bai Hua sect.

Quite obviously, the commotion earlier had alerted the entire world.

All the great cultivators had started to notice what was happening here.

Gu Qing Shan pulled his inner sight back and temporarily stayed silent.

『 Are you... afraid? 』

A female voice suddenly called out.

Gu Qing Shan searched briefly and noticed that the voice originated from the Condemnation Codex.

The Master of the Heroic Spirit Hall, the First Heroic Spirit, was questioning him from her Card.

Evidently, she continued to pay attention to the situation outside her Card.

“That’s right, I’m afraid”

Gu Qing Shan admitted.

——–this lady is one of the three rulers of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, my natural ally and an irreconcilable enemy of the Apocalypse, I shouldn’t ignore her.

While they talked, the heavenly being’s spirit energy figure had already flown up and unleashed a colorful Immortal Craft towards Gu Qing Shan.

「 Die! Violator of heavenly rules! 」

It shouted.

The colorful light then manifested into a double crescent halberd that flew through the clouds towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was unfazed.

The double crescent halberd suddenly turned around and pierced through the heavenly being’s spirit energy figure.

——-Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist.

From the moment it spoke, it had already been afflicted by the Dragon Hex!

The spirit energy figure uttered a resounding shriek, then angrily declared: 「 The more you retaliate, the more you will anger the heavenly beings above! 」

It suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The Heavenly Tower began to exude an even stronger light.

——Gu Qing Shan’s counterattack had thoroughly angered the tower.

The wind howled.

The world’s natural spirit energy boiled.

Heavenly light filled the sky, exuding a heavy aura of death.

Gu Qing Shan simply observed this happen without a change in his expression.

『—-What are you afraid of? 』

The First Heroic Spirit continued to keep her eyes closed and pursued the question.

Gu Qing Shan calmly replied: “My Shifu first established Bai Hua sect in order to make a home for all of us”

“Right now, she cannot spare any time to worry about this home due to working hard for the sake of this world and to the point of running into issues”

“When I returned, I saw my brother and sisters having to face an onslaught at their very doorsteps”

“I am afraid, I truly am”

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then continued to speak with a chatty tone:

“My senior brother doesn’t like to cultivate, but he’s good-natured and treats everyone equally, an exceptional talent among talents”

“My junior sister Xiu Xiu had gone through a lot of suffering in the past, even now, Shifu feels guilty for that. I can’t even imagine her face while being bulled—– if Shifu happens to find out about this, she would be so sorrowful, and I wouldn’t be able to make it up for her even if I died, no matter how many times I die”

“Both of my other two junior sisters were talented individuals in their own worlds, but they had to suffer through a terrible fate and all the worst kinds of torture. In the end, they fought by my side for a tiny chance of survival, which they won. I don’t want them to be bullied any further”

“But I can’t possibly remain in this world for too long”

“What would I do if someone else tried to bully them once I left?”

“Once Shifu escapes from her predicament and returns, only to see the Bai Hua sect destroyed and her disciples dead, what would I do?”

In the far distant, the Heavenly Tower was giving off a resounding tremble.

Countless solemn voices recited from the Heavenly Tower:

「 Summon the Heavenly Mountain——– to eliminate this scoundrel! 」

The crack of thunder boomed across the entire world.

But the clouds in the sky were becoming brighter with a beautiful glow as the sound of heavenly music echoed from beyond the heavens.

A magnificent Heavenly Mountain peeked out from above the void of space, about to fully descend.

Standing on the mountain, countless heavenly beings wearing armor and wielding weapons were standing in formation, emanating a terrifying presence.

The entire world was shocked.

To eliminate Gu Qing Shan, the Heaven realm had directly sent down a Heavenly Mountain!

What a grand effort!

Cultivators from various sects hurriedly flew outside, all bowed towards the Heavenly Tower and Heavenly Mountain, before silently observing the situation.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively, signaling Qin Xiao Lou and the others to not worry.

Meanwhile, he chuckled and spoke to the Heroic Spirit lady: “Take a look, all the sects of this world are indebted to my Shifu, it was thanks to her that they received the heavenly favor and were able to continuously break through, but now that my sect is in trouble, none of them stood out to try and help us”

“What a mocking situation this is... if this Gu Qing Shan doesn’t do anything for my brothers and sisters, how could I still call myself a disciple of Bai Hua sect?”

The lady smiled briefly before answering him: 『 This same scene had occurred countless times in both civilization and history—– the Apocalypses only annihilates everything, but the cruelty of the living beings have done things much worse than that, that alone has never changed 』

Gu Qing Shan thought for a brief moment before replying: “I agree”

The lady continued: 『 As a person, you can clearly discern everything that has happened and have your own scale of good and evil, perhaps you had already made up your mind? 』

Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Naturally”

Wielding a sword in hand, a terrifying presence suddenly exuded from his body.

From the void of space, a glowing armor appeared and scattered into small components before attaching themselves to his body.

This was one of the armor sets that Laura had specifically prepared for him.

Gu Qing Shan leapt forward and moved through the vast distance to appear in front of the Heavenly Mountain.

The Heavenly Mountain was grand and filled with boundless clouds as it slowly descended in a dignified manner.

The numerous figures on the mountain were all heavenly beings descending together with the Heavenly Mountain, who was about to fully manifest in this world.

Gu Qing Shan flew straight towards the Heavenly Mountain with the Earth sword tightly in his grip.

Numerous sword phantoms suddenly erupted from the Earth sword to manifest as a gigantic sword phantom that blocked out the sky itself.

With a resounding shout, Gu Qing Shan struck the Heavenly Mountain with this sword phantom.

He wasn’t using any sort of Secret Arts at all, it was the simplest and the most direct sword swing.

—–a sword swing that encompassed all of his skills and knowledge of sword techniques!

Layers of colorful light emerged from the Heavenly Mountain to protect itself.

The sword phantom and the colorful glow clashed against one another.

The numerous heavenly beings on the mountain all formed a hand seal and shouted: “Suppress!”

Rumble rumble!

The Heavenly Mountain suddenly plummeted to crush Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was forced to descend several thousand meters before slowing his descent again.

「 Sinner, you will be suppressed under the Heavenly Mountain! 」

The heavenly beings statues on top of the Heavenly Tower declared in unison.

The Heavenly Mountain began to give off a brighter colorful light.

However.

The entire mountain was stopped in the air, unable to move even a single bit further.

The Earth sword was pressed down on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t retreat any further.

“HAAAAAAAA!”

He uttered a resounding yell and continued to control his sword seal with Huang Quan Origin power.

The Earth sword also gave off a violent vibration as it seemed to be focusing all of its power.

A single person and a single sword had stopped an entire Heavenly Mountain in the sky, refusing to let it descend into this world.

The entire world became still.

The cultivators were all shocked at this unbelievable sight.

“In front of our Bai Hua sect, not even heavenly beings can do whatever they wish!”

Gu Qing Shan yelled out again as the sword phantom in his hand abruptly glowed brighter almost like the sun itself.

He focused all of his strength to unleash another strike.

The sword slowly moved again from his shoulder and started to rise back up.

Bam——–

The sword phantom slashed through the sky, cutting a huge black gap into the world itself.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Mountain...

—–Had already been sent flying out of sight by the sword phantom.

Only Gu Qing Shan remained by himself with his sword, looking straight at the cut in space.

A faint vibration emerged from the Heavenly Tower, apparently unwilling to accept defeat.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned to the Heavenly Tower.

Without saying a word, he landed and placed the Earth sword behind his back.

All four of his swords manifested at once behind him, following him like guards.

Gu Qing Shan swiftly made his way in front of the Heavenly Tower.

“Violating the rules of heaven means death?”

He asked mockingly.

The heavenly being statues on the Heavenly Tower all remained silent.

Boundless killing intent manifested around Gu Qing Shan, then turned into black drifting flames around his body, followed by a faint yellow fog that enveloped his body.

“There are actually things much worse than death, but that’s just part of my Huang Quan realm’s job—— you probably aren’t familiar with it, so I suppose I should teach you”

Moving his fingers a bit, Gu Qing Shan clenched his hand into a fist and muttered.

The aura of the frozen corpse began to radiate from the white skull gauntlets.
