Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1629: The Gate and the Apocalypses

Let us pause at this very moment.

—-what was occurring right now?

The Reality Gate had been opened.

The Silent Light Apocalypse was currently destroying everything.

The original Gu Qing Shan and Shroud had fallen into the River of Time, sent to the future by Su Xue Er.

Little Wei was about to be swallowed up by an Apocalypse.

Under these circumstances, Gu Qing Shan had begun to act from a secluded corner of the main square.

Lines of glowing text flickered in front of his eyes:

[Attention, attention!]

[Your past self had left the current timeline]

[One of the two ‘Distortions’ affecting this timeline had disappeared, only you remain]

[The power of ‘Distortion’ you carry is continuing to exert its power]

[Time and Fate had given birth to countless variables]

[Whether the future would head towards destruction, or towards another direction, will be decided by you and the other living beings’ actions]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through the message and looked at the main square.

Right as little Wei was about to be swallowed by the white light——

“Shroud!” Gu Qing Shan called out.

Right before Shroud manifested as a set of skeletons.

At the very same time, Xie Dao Ling’s voice echoed by Gu Qing Shan’s ear:

“The Reality Gate still hadn’t completely opened, I need to seize this moment to close it, otherwise, the 9 Apocalypses would descend on us!”

Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “No Shifu, please eliminate all the other Apocalypses first”

He then sent his voice to Shroud: “Shroud, don’t bother with the Silent Light Apocalypse, hurry and close the Reality Gate!”

“[Got it]”

Xie Dao Ling and Shroud both answered.

A second later.

The giant abruptly leapt into the sky and vanished without a trace.

A female wraith cultivator then appeared, also flying after him.

[The Samsara carrier!] the Time Apocalypse’s real voice echoed.

[Don’t bother with the frozen corpse, it won’t escape, kill the Samsara carrier first!] the glowing cloaked skeleton also declared.

All the Apocalypses immediately turned towards the female wraith cultivator.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped all the way to his throat.

Shifu!

Why are you——–

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan turned towards the main square.

Only to see that all the panicking wraith cultivators and angels had stopped fleeing.

If someone took the time to observe beforehand, they would discover that all the wraiths and angels had actually been moving in groups, and were purposely or coincidentally surrounding a dozen wraith cultivators.

—-those dozen cultivators were actually those who had been possessed by the Apocalypses!

Having received the Time Apocalypse’s orders, their attention was drawn to the female cultivator in the sky.

At that exact moment, all the angels and wraiths on the main square acted at once!

And they used a single technique—–

A clear chiming female voice shouted: “Six Wraiths Nine Revolution Immortal Formation!”

A bright green heavenly aura appeared in the hands of each wraith and angel on the square.

Fwoom!

The bright green glow erupted to the sky!

A dozen figures were blasted into the sky before being reduced to sand and dust while still falling back down.

———the possessed wraith cultivators had all been killed!

This meant that all of them had been forced to fall into slumber and would be unable to participate in this decisive battle.

The green glow appeared and vanished in almost a single instant.

During that short instant, all the Apocalypses on the main square had been killed, leaving only the two most powerful ones remaining.

The Time Apocalypse.

And the glowing cloaked skeleton.

All the wraith cultivators and angels surrounded them and spoke in unison: “””To survive after being struck by my Immortal Formation, the two of you must be the strongest Apocalypses here”””

Gu Qing Shan silently watched all of this happen when he finally realized what was going on.

Shifu’s [Myriad Incarnations][1] had silently replaced the countless wraiths for a while as she was here!

Those Apocalypses wanted to ambush her, but they didn’t realize that she was ready to ambush and eliminate them all in return!

She managed to eliminate all of the other Apocalypses and left only the two most powerful enemies.

Gu Qing Shan sighed with a look of admiration in his eyes.

——no wonder Shifu wanted to show me her identity and was persuading me to leave, earlier.

So she was afraid of friendly fire!

In the sky, the masked wraith cultivators slowly descended back down.

The countless wraiths and angels started to return to her body and eventually ended up as a single person.

With a faint magic fluctuation, this person’s jet-black wraith cultivator outfit transformed into a bright green silk dress.

The mask continued to shield her facial features, revealing only a pair of calm water-like pupils.

The Time Apocalypse questioned with a heavy tone: [Who are you?]

“Xie Dao Ling” the female cultivator answered.

[Indeed, she truly is the carrier of the Samsara] the glowing cloaked skeleton said.

“You just realized that now?” Xie Dao Ling mocked them with a light tone.

The only entities left on the main square were her, the two Apocalypses, and Gu Qing Shan in a secluded corner.

The Time Apocalypse stood in the middle of the main square and coldly scoffed: [Did you think you could win just because you got rid of a few small fries among the Sequences? You aren’t even a match for me by myself]

“That’s true, I am indeed no match for you” Xie Dao Ling admitted.

But her expression continued to stay prideful and muttered: “But since my disciple had said that we could win, then we will definitely win”

In the sky, Demon Dragon’s furious roar echoed:

“Despicable! I forbid——”

His voice was suddenly cut off.

Everyone was shocked.

[The Reality Gate is about to be opened, and when the 9 Apocalypses appear, nothing else will be an issue] the Time Apocalypse said.

“The 9 Apocalypses will not appear” Gu Qing Shan stated.

The Time Apocalypse and the glowing cloaked skeleton both turned towards him.

[So you were the traitor] the glowing cloaked skeleton said with a tone filled with killing intent.

Gu Qing Shan leaned on the wall and casually said: “To prevent Gu Qing Shan’s interference, Demon Dragon had willingly used a precious gem to restrain him and get the chance to open the Reality Gate. This suggests that the weapon isn’t particularly powerful in combat, its strength lies in its summoning abilities and its gate-opening technique”

[You’re asking for death!] the Time Apocalypse angrily roared.

Boom——-

Without being able to see what had happened, Gu Qing Shan was suddenly sent flying and spun several times in the air before he crashed into the ground to create a huge crater.

A second later, a voice spoke up from inside the crater:

“There’s no need to get angry, I’m merely telling the truth”

A mass of white fog manifested next to Xie Dao Ling.

Gu Qing Shan stepped out from inside the white fog, shielding her.

“Qing Shan, are you ok?” Xie Dao Ling asked out of concern.

“As long as the Apocalypses that destroyed the Samsara doesn’t show up, I won’t die just yet” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He casually glanced at the void of space.

Lines of glowing text floated in mid-air:

[You were struck by the Time Apocalypse’s Temporal Corrosion technique]

[Through the power of Invincible that you borrowed from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword using Ghostly Shadow of Night, you had endured the attack]

Indeed, even now, he was the Invincible Spirit Snatcher Apocalypse.

No one would be able to kill him so easily.

Xie Dao Ling narrowed her eyes and muttered: “If that is so, then I can feel assured. This guy dared to attack you in front of me, I’m going to think of a way to kill him”

“Shifu, please hold it off for me, I’m going to deal with the glowing cloaked skeleton” Gu Qing Shan said.

As he said that, he suddenly felt a bad omen.

So he instantly sent his voice to Shroud:

“How was it? Did you close the Reality Gate?”

Shroud answered while clearly struggling: [Although the Gate has been temporarily been closed, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon’s gate-opening technique is too powerful, I can’t maintain this forever—–]

[Not good! Gu Qing Shan, the gate-opening technique is too powerful, I definitely would not be able to hold it!]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart felt heavy.

“Shifu, do you also have a method to close the Reality Gate?” he asked.

“I do, otherwise, I wouldn’t have arrived” Xie Dao Ling replied.

“The Gate is about to be forced open again, please help my comrade restrain the Reality Gate” Gu Qing Shan told her.

“Then what about here?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“Leave it to me” Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth and said.

He was no match for the glowing cloaked skeleton alone, so how could he take both the glowing cloaked skeleton and the Time Apocalypse?

——the Time Apocalypse was an even more powerful Apocalypse!

Xie Dao Ling silently asked him: “60%?”

“I still have countermeasures prepared” Gu Qing Shan answered without changing his expression.

Xie Dao Ling glanced profoundly at him, then leapt into the sky.

[Don’t even think——] the glowing cloaked skeleton furiously roared.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at it.

Instantly, countless sword phantoms manifested out of thin air to attack the glowing cloaked skeleton and send it flying.

Before the Time Apocalypse could even move, Gu Qing Shan had already turned to look towards it as well.

Divine Skill, [Mountain Wraith]!

A blue flash of light flickered.

From the void of space, an arc of lightning manifested out of nowhere and slipped into the wraith cultivator’s body.

The body of the wraith cultivator that the Time Apocalypse possessed suddenly froze.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Did you know? Your biggest failure was when you decided to possess a bunch of cultivators”

Bam!!!

He was suddenly sent flying.

The wraith cultivator was now standing where Gu Qing Shan originally stood.

Behind him, a shadow remained affected by the power of [Mountain Wraith].

The wraith cultivator nodded behind himself: [Thank you, I won’t be so careless again next time]

The glowing cloaked skeleton reappeared and spoke in a low voice: [He seems to be able to take quite a beating, be careful]

In front of them, the entire Wraith Temple had been levelled to the ground.

Gu Qing Shan stepped out from a faraway mountain.

Rumble rumble——-

The entire mountain collapsed behind him.

“Such ridiculous strength, yet concentrated on a single punch, peh!” Gu Qing Shan spat out some blood and returned to the main square in a flash.

It was completely unblockable.

Even with [Invincible], the Time Apocalypse’s attack was no joke.

With the Time Apocalypse’s time manipulation, there was literally no time to react to its attacks, the only thing he could do was take the hit.

On the contrary——-

If Gu Qing Shan didn’t have the power of [Invincible], he would have already died.

[Invincible Spirit Snatcher, you originally had the chance to advance your Sequence, I truly don’t understand why you’d betray us] the Time Apocalypse said.

Gu Qing Shan clenched his swords tightly and replied: “Probably because I felt that living beings could still win”

[Win?] the glowing cloaked skeleton chuckled.

Suddenly, a figure descended from above and landed on the main square.

Demon Dragon.

He looked at Gu Qing Shan with a merciless and furious gaze.

[The Secret Apocalypse and that Samsara carrier had collaborated, I’m unable to open the Gate for now] he reported to the two Apocalypses.

The glowing cloaked skeleton said: [Very well, let us first eliminate this traitor first, then we’ll come with you to open the Gate]

[I agree] the wraith cultivator answered.

They all then turned towards Gu Qing Shan.

Demon Dragon took a step forward and pointed the sword in his hand towards Gu Qing Shan:

[I, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon, can summon all Apocalypses in existence, combined with both End of Time and Silent Light here to attack you. I really don’t understand, do you want to die so badly?]

Gu Qing Shan looked at his opposition.

Three against one...

No one would be able to fight off these two Apocalypses as well as the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon who had possessed Demon Dragon’s body.

No, it isn’t time yet.

If I tried to summon the Tianma to help Demon Dragon take back control, the two Apocalypses would definitely eliminate all the Tianma.

I don’t have a way to capture Demon Dragon either.

What should I do now?

How would I separate them?

Gu Qing Shan put up one finger and stated: “Apocalyptic Divine Weapon... I know that you can summon all Apocalypses, but I don’t know if you’ve noticed it or not, your strength as an Apocalypse is completely useless right now. Not to mention how all the Apocalypses inside the Boundless Void had already been used up by the two Apocalypses behind you”

Hearing him, Demon Dragon’s expression became grim.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and continued: “I’m just trying to tell you that you’re in fact nothing but a crippled right now—— after so many years of being sealed, you’re already obsolete. You should just go back to the forge and be made into a gilded golden toilet, that way you’d actually be able to fulfil your wish of washing everything away”

[You have a death wish!] Demon Dragon howled and charged towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan took a step back.

——I just need a single chance.

As long as the Time Apocalypse and glowing cloaked skeleton don’t attack together——-

Boom!!!

A sound of impact resounded throughout the world.

A bottomless jet-black crevice had appeared on the ground.

Boundless white flames continued to burn inside the crevice, which continued to eat away at the ground.

[He’s trying to provoke you] the Time Apocalypse cautiously said.

[That’s right, we should attack all at once right now to make sure that he’s given no chances whatsoever] the glowing cloaked skeleton also said.

Demon Dragon regained his senses and gritted his teeth: [Couldn’t he just run?]

The Time Apocalypse replied: [He would not. He wants to stall us here—– if we all head towards the Reality Gate, the Samsara carrier and Secret Apocalypse would not be able to stop our combined attack—– and you’d be able to continue your summoning to cause the Gate to open]

Sure enough, a mass of white fog appeared just a bit in front of them.

Gu Qing Shan coughed up some blood and stared closely at them

“Tsk tsk tsk, so the renowned Apocalyptic Divine Weapon was truly nothing but a crippled” he happily laughed.

Demon Dragon’s expression was conflicted.

[Regardless of what you say] he took a step back and scoffed: [You’re still going to die here]

Gu Qing Shan wiped the blood from his mouth as his thoughts quickly turned.

——–how exactly should I avoid the Time Apocalypse’s attack?

Do I have any other countermeasures?

Suddenly, he looked down at his wrist as if he just felt something.

A black thread had silently wrapped itself around his hand without him noticing.

While the other end of the thread reached towards the void of space.

[1] Her ability was previously translated as One as Millions, but after knowing how it worked better, I changed the translation name to fit
