Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1757: Tribulation Lord

“Let us spar, if I win, don’t mention another word about marriage, but we will be fighting by one another’s side from now on, what do you say?” Gu Qing Shan suggested.

「 Hmph, very well, we Beast Kings are the most adept when it comes to our instincts, let us judge how you actually are as a person through this battle 」a Beast King replied.

“Who’s going to fight me?” Gu Qing Shan grinned and asked.

「 Of course we’d all be fighting you, one of us against you at a time 」the Beast King solemnly replied.

“That doesn’t seem fair” Gu Qing Shan commented.

「 To us Beast Kings, it’s always been appropriate to use anything and everything in battle, there is no such thing as fairness! 」

The Beast Kings all responded.

“Alright then” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Everyone then stepped out to make room for a battle.

Standing in the very middle of the battleground, Gu Qing Shan donned his armor and picked up his blade.

“Who’s first?” he asked.

A muscular Beast King that was about four meters tall stepped forward to face Gu Qing Shan.

「 Me 」he breathed out through his nose and answered with a healthy voice.

“Very well” Gu Qing Shan brandished his blade and prepared himself.

The Beast King had also readied himself and uttered a resounding battle cry to initiate the battle.

Suddenly——

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped.

He just felt some sort of unusual commotion.

Everyone else noticed that as well.

Xie Dao Ling was originally sitting on the sideline to watch, but suddenly stood up and said with a solemn tone: “Such power... who exactly is it, their powers haven’t been sealed!”

Boom!

An intense crashing sound was heard from the roof of the Green Building.

Seemingly recognizing something, Gu Qing Shan called out: “They’re an ally! Don’t attack!”

A single figure landed on the ground.

It was Ye Ru XI.

Her body was riddled with wounds, her military uniform was torn in several places, and she landed on one knee.

Gu Qing Shan quickly came forward to help her up.

Ye Ru Xi told him with a casual expression: “I could have stalled for a bit longer, but I think my time is almost up”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

——-that’s right, [Moon Invitation] can only summon one slumbering person at a time, and only for 24 hours straight.

It’s been almost 24 hours already.

Ye Ru Xi will soon return to the Sequence and fall back into slumber!

“How are things on the Heavenly Emperor’s side?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ru Xi replied: “He managed to defeat the Apocalypse with his army of heavenly beings, but because of me as well as the Apocalypse, his Immortal City suffered quite a bit of damage”

“However, I could also sense his fury, I suspect that he will be coming to capture you no matter the cost”

“I suspected as much as well” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ye Ru Xi quickly continued: “I can still hold them off for five minutes—– the final five minutes”

“I understand, it’ll be my turn after five minutes!” Gu Qing Shan said with a heavy tone.

Ye Ru Xi gave him a look of worry that suggested she was unconvinced.

“It’s ok, he’s been after my life since a while ago, of course, I’ve already made the preparations” Gu Qing Shan assured her.

“—–That’s good to hear, then I’ll do my best to stop him for a little bit longer”

Ye Ru Xi nodded and pressed her hand on the ground.

A bottomless hole was suddenly created.

Ye Ru Xi jumped down and quickly vanished.

——the Heavenly Emperor was coming to capture him!

Xie Dao Ling stood up and asked: “Do you need me to take you and run?”

She was the current wielder of the Wind Saint Pillar Soul Artifact, the Key of the Wind.

“No, now that he’s no longer caught up by anything, he would definitely continue his pursuit until I’m caught, but I can’t keep running away”

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan told the members of the Beast King realm: “There’s an emergency, give me a few moments?”

He turned around and began to tally up the collected stones as listed on the large wooden board.

—–they’d collected a total of 990 Merit Stones.

“Who else has Merit Stones to turn in? We’re about to determine the top three!” he loudly declared.

The void of space shifted.

A shadowy devil emerged from between Gu Qing Shan and the Beast Kings.

It was the same evil creature who turned in the very first Merit Stone.

The shadowy devil tossed a small bag to Gu Qing Shan and said: 「 I heard that everyone is still trying to dig for more stones—– I’ve gathered the remaining Merit Stones we currently have to hand them in all at once 」

A few more evil creatures also came out after it, hastily handing their Merit Stones to Gu Qing Shan.

“Well done, everybody!”

Gu Qing Shan received all the Merit Stones without hesitation.

Instantly, lines of bloody red text appeared in front of his eyes:

[You’ve collected a total of 1003 Merit Stones, the second Chosen Saint to have collected over 1000 Merit Stones]

[The Samsara has bestowed you the qualifications to establish an Immortal City on the underside of the Human realm]

[Three, two, one!]

[——You will enter a protected Phase Realm]

His surroundings suddenly became void.

There was nothing but strong winds that continuously blew.

While Gu Qing Shan was standing absolutely still, he could feel himself traveling forward at extreme speeds.

This was a particularly miraculous experience.

At the very next instant.

He appeared in a vast barren wasteland.

——-the underside of the Human realm!

It was currently nighttime.

A wondrous sensation danced around the atmosphere as it circled around him, which finally manifested into a mass of heavenly light under his feet.

[Attention, the Samsara is currently resonating with your spirit to facilitate communication, it will manifest a city in accordance with your spirit to fight the Apocalypse!]

Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of realization.

The will of the Samsara was urging him—– telling him to quickly provide specifications for the construction of the Immortal City.

“What kind of city do I want to construct...”

Gu Qing Shan scowled in thought.

The Samsara established the Immortal Cities because it can no longer suppress the Apocalypses, so it wanted to use the power of the Chosen Saints to fight them.

The Heavenly Emperor created an Immortal City that floats in the sky.

Then what about me?

...If I want to construct a city, I would want it to at least provide some basic means of survival.

The thoughts in Gu Qing Shan’s minds became increasingly clearer.

As he began to make specific considerations, the heavenly light under his feet also began to expand in every direction.

Lines of bloody red text appeared:

[The Samsara is currently compiling the achievements of the Samsara’s previous civilizations and gathering power to manifest the city in your mind!]

[This process will require an hour to complete]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

He could sense that Ye Ru Xi had already left the current world.

Her five minutes were already up!

Damn it!

I didn’t have enough information and didn’t think that an Immortal City would require at least an hour to construct!

If that’s the case——

He turned his attention towards the distant horizon.

From beyond the horizon, a seemingly eternal mass of glorious light suddenly manifested.

——The Heaven realm’s Immortal City!

Although it was still quite a distance away, it was practically rushing in this direction.

The Heavenly Emperor is coming!

Gu Qing Shan stomped his feet and shouted: “There’s no need to do everything right from the get-go, just make the most basic form of a city first, then gradually build upon it until we have a complete fully-functional city!”

The heavenly light under his feet blinked a few times.

A jet-black motorcycle then suddenly emerged from the ground.

Gu Qing Shan jumped onto the motorcycle and pressed the ignition without hesitation.

Brrrr—— brooooom——-

The motorcycle let out a thunderous noise and jetted away on the vast barren wasteland like a blurred shadow.

The distance between two sides that had only just been closed was now widening again.

From far away, the Heavenly Emperor’s voice reverberated:

「 Gu Qing Shan, you won’t escape! 」

Groups of heavenly beings started flying out from the city, aiming straight for Gu Qing Shan as they unleashed various attacks.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan noticed something.

——more Samsara origin power was flowing into the motorcycle from the ground.

He patted the motorcycle, causing metallic structures to emerge from all around it and transformed into a teardrop-shaped sports car.

Readjusting his seat, Gu Qing Shan slammed on the acceleration.

The sports car gave off a stifled engine roar before kicking off a thick cloud of dust and speeding off, leaving the heavenly beings’ attacks behind.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Emperor’s voice echoed again:

「 A panicked fleeing rat, he’s already reached the end of his ropes 」

The world became illuminated.

A ferocious and blinding white ray of light streaked through the void of space, shooting straight at Gu Qing Shan at an almost unpredictable speed.

Almost at the very same time, the white light struck the ground.

An entire region had been engulfed in boiling magma.

The world was now a sea of fire!

Gu Qing Shan slammed his feet on the acceleration pedal again———

“Continue the derivation!” he shouted.

In an instant, the entire sports car transformed into a mobile mech suit that manifested closely around his body.

Two bursts of flames erupted from the back of the mobile mech suit.

At the very moment before he entered the sea of magma, Gu Qing Shan leapt into the air and left the ground.

Through the night sky, Gu Qing Shan continued to fly at maximum speed, once again distancing itself from the Immortal City.

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice became harrowing:

「 So... you were actually attempting to establish an Immortal City as well... then there are no other choices... 」

His voice vanished.

The brilliantly shining Immortal City also slowed down, and the heavenly beings who took flight earlier began to retreat.

They seemed to be preparing something.

While Gu Qing Shan was feeling confused about their actions, a notification popped up in the void of space:

[The other party had requested to continue the campaign]

[Attention, the Samsara will release another Apocalypse]

[Both Immortal Cities must participate in the battle against this Apocalypse, as this is a battle for the sake of the Samsara]

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes widened.

The Heavenly Emperor has the support of his heavenly beings’ army, as well as a completed Immortal City.

Meanwhile, I’m still by myself, and my Immortal City is still in the middle of construction and hasn’t fully manifested.

How am I supposed to face an Apocalypse?

Suddenly——

Lines of bloody red text began to scroll across his vision:

[In accordance with your Samsara vow, your Immortal City jointly belongs to all Chosen Saints who had formed a contract of alliance with you]

[Each individual’s Samsara Divine Skills will undergo different levels of evolution]

[You are the Ruler of the Immoral City]

[You are the inheritor of the Heaven realm’s Dharma]

[The Heaven realm’s Origin will supply additional power for your Divine Skill’s evolution]

[You are the only successor of the Wraith realm]

[The Wraith realm’s Origin will fully support you to complete your Divine Skill’s evolution]

[The Samsara is imbuing power to complete your Divine Skill’s evolution in five seconds]

[5]

[4]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[Samsara Divine Skill: Heavenly Decree – Tribulation Lord, has completed its evolution]

[You’ve obtained a new Divine Skill: Heavenly Decree – Tribulation Lord]

[Heavenly Decree – Tribulation Lord: You become the incarnation of the legendary Samsara Ancient God, wielding the power of Heaven Tribulations, greatly boosting the power of all Heaven Tribulations]

[—–All things within the realms are judged at your will]

Gu Qing Shan finally felt relieved.

[Attention! The Apocalypse is about to arrive]

[Attention! The Apocalypse is about to arrive]

[Prepare to face the enemy——]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through the warnings and stood up from his pilot seat.

“The Immortal City... can slowly manifest itself now...”

“There’s no need to hurry anymore”

He opened the door of the cockpit and jumped out directly descending towards the vast barren wasteland.

Strong wind howled in his ears.

He continued his descent.

Down.

And down some more——

Gu Qing Shan then focused his thoughts.

Samsara Divine Skill: [Heavenly Decree – Tribulation Lord]!

In an instant, countless spheres of lightning manifested out of thin air.

They were Tribulation Lightning!

These spheres of lightning manifested a brilliant screen of light, all of them flying through the air like a great tornado as they continuously circled around Gu Qing Shan.

Until finally——–

They all entered Gu Qing Shan’s body.

All the noises suddenly vanished.

Gu Qing Shan stopped descending altogether and turned his gaze in every direction.

In front of him, at a distant horizon, a destructive presence could be felt.

Immeasurable darkness was boiling, swelling, and devouring everything as it passed through like a capricious wave of destruction.

——an Apocalypse.

The unknown Apocalypse had appeared.

Gu Qing Shan only took a glance at it before turning around.

The Immortal City belonging to the Heavenly Emperor continued to give off its dimming colorful light, now slowly approaching him from afar.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed like he wanted to just stand there and watch.

In front of Gu Qing Shan was an Apocalypse of unknown nature, behind him, thousands of pursuing heavenly beings.

——-nobody should be able to escape from such a two-pronged attack.

The world was now completely silent.

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and chanted: “I am the judge of all things within the realms”

Boom!

Numerous bolts of lightning emanated from his body.

He had transformed into a giant that connected heaven and earth, his body continuously releasing innumerable and immeasurable bolts of lightning upon this dark world.
