The lost world.
Aside from the plaza just outside the divine temple, Tidal city, as well as everything else, was now submerged underwater.
With the Chao Yin sword in hand, Gu Qing Shan was covered in a burning bright glow.
With a single thought, the ocean itself followed him into the sky.
The jet black Tribulation clouds in the sky were unleashing bolt after bolt of lightning, striking at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t retaliate at all, fully focused on just avoiding them.
The bolts of lightning that missed him quickly slowed down, then sped up as they flew upwards, once again chasing after Gu Qing Shan.
This was a magnificent sight.
A vast ocean of water was rising from the ground.
Within that ocean was a blank void.
Within that blank void, a man shining with bright light held a sword as he dodged and avoided the pursuit of lighting bolts.
But since he was only avoiding without retaliating or letting the lightning strike anything else, the bolts weren’t disappearing.
More and more Tribulation Lightning accumulated in the sky.
The white-blue bolts of lightning were like huge cold stars, giving off a faint thunder and sparks of electricity in their flight.
The crimson Soul Annihilating Lightning, on the other hand, was silent and much faster than other bolts of lightning. It kept close behind Gu Qing Shan without veering off even a little.
Lightning bolts, as numerous as stars, glittered in the sky.
So many stars it seemed like an ocean.
A tidal wave began to form.
And Gu Qing Shan was weaving between the sky and ocean as he brought the sea of lightning with him.
He was still abusing his Divine Skills [Ground Shrink] and [Shadow Shift] to avoid them without fighting back.
At a certain point, Empress Li Yang nervously looked at this and asked: 『 Mother, you’ve seen the most Tribulations out of all of us, what is he trying to do?? 』
The Progenitor Fiendess stared at the bright scenery in the sky and replied after a while: 『 It seems he’s accumulating Tribulation Lightning? 』
『 Accumulating Tribulation Lightning? Does he really want to die!?? 』Empress Li Yang couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Progenitor Fiendess shook her head and suddenly smiled: 『 A weak one, but quite a brave one indeed? 』
『 What are you…? 』
『 Look, the Manifestation Tribulation Lightning is coming!? 』the Progenitor Fiendess squinted her eyes and spoke.
Empress Li Yang looked up to see that the Heaven’s Tribulation had begun to change.
More and more crimson balls of lightning came out from the Tribulation clouds, gathered in one place and manifested as a giant lightning hand.
This was a hand created from Soul Annihilating Lightning, it was sentient, but only had a single will, to erase the one facing the Tribulation from the world of the living.
The hand of lightning slowly expanded, growing bigger and bigger turning into a thick, muscular crimson arm.
In the sky, another bunch of crimson lightning had gathered to slowly form a long whip.
The giant hand immediately grabbed the whip and flew straight towards Gu Qing Shan!
At this time, Gu Qing Shan’s situation had become extremely dangerous.
He glanced around.
There was nothing but Tribulation lightning around him.
With this many bolts of lightning together with the newly made Manifestation Tribulation Lightning, this should be when the power of the Lightning Tribulation reached its peak.
“It’s time!” Gu Qing Shan loudly said.
“Will you borrow the power of the Tribulation Lightning to eliminate the ghosts and revenants now?” Shannu asked.
“No, first we have to avoid the demonized first” Gu Qing Shan told her.
Shannu nodded: “Indeed, the Lightning Tribulation counters the ghosts, but it doesn’t counter the demonized, not to mention there are over 2 million of them, so if they interfere, it might become troublesome”
“That’s why we have to make sure the demonized won’t interfere”
“How do we do that?”
“I’ll have to rely on you, Shannu”
“Ah?” Shannu froze.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “There’s not much time, I’ll delegate the tasks now”
“Chao Yin sword, you control the field”
The Chao Yin sword let out a ‘wu wu’ sound, expressing its understanding.
“Earth sword, you break the ice”
「 No problem? 」the Earth sword replied with its mountainous heavy voice.
“Shannu, memorize your lines”
“Yes—— wait, gongzi, what do you mean memorize my lines?”
“My acting skills should be at max level, so when the time comes, you’ll just have to use it”
“Gongzi, can’t you explain it a bit more clearly? I’m still a bit lost…”
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a piece of bone from a revenant.
—–this came from the battle on the plains when the Earth sword killed one of the bigger revenants.
“Take this!”
Gu Qing Shan threw the bone to Shannu and carefully told her the lines.
At the very next second, the lightning whip came flying with a snap!
Pop!
Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
He immediately used a Divine Skill to avoid the manifested giant arm of lightning’s attack.
“Shannu!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Behind him, an autumn-like blue steel sword appeared from the void of space.
The sword flew upwards at full speed with his order, piercing through the thick Tribulation clouds.
Due to the [Law Breaker] property, the countless gathering bolts of lightning inside the Tribulation Clouds didn’t damage the Six Paths Great Mountain sword at all.
As soon as it went through the Tribulation clouds and reached the top of the sky, the sword turned into a blue-dress girl.
Shannu looked down at Gu Qing Shan.
“Gongzi, I’ll send you off!”
“Alright!”
While they spoke, Shannu’s body became blurry.
[Shadow Shift]!
She had switched places with Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had directly bypassed the Tribulation clouds to get to the top of the sky.
He held the Chao Yin sword and pointed upwards.
[Even a sea of suffering shall pass!]
The vast ocean above split apart at his order.
Within the dark blue ocean, a path appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
At this time, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword had once again gone through the Tribulation clouds back into the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
“We’re going!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted.
He swung the Chao Yin sword.
All the sea water flowed in reverse and up into the ocean layer above.
Gu Qing Shan leapt upwards and flew into the open path with his three swords.
——-he had entered the ocean layer.
In the sky below, the Tribulation clouds finally reacted.
The endless sea of white-blue Tribulation Lightning and the thick bolt of crimson lightning all charged upwards!
The Manifested Soul Annihilating Lightning arm and whip followed below.
All the Tribulation Lightning had gone past the thick Tribulation clouds to chase after Gu Qing Shan.
The Tribulation clouds itself also moved.
The jet black clouds started to float upwards into the ocean layer.
—–the Tribulation clouds were also chasing after Gu Qing Shan!
When the Tribulation clouds that represent the Law of heaven and earth got close to the ocean, the water opened a wide path for it as well.
Countless flashing bolts of lightning shot out from the clouds to chase after Gu Qing Shan.
A second later, the world returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan, the ocean, the Tribulation Lightning, the Tribulation clouds, all of it disappeared from the lost world below.
When the one facing the Tribulation left, so did Heaven’s Tribulation.
This had never been seen before, most likely not even one person in the entire history of cultivation had tried something like this.
The Progenitor Fiendess became stunned for a few seconds: 『 This brat…? 』
『 Mother, what do we do now?? 』Empress Li Yang asked.
The Progenitor Fiendess closed her eyes and spoke: 『 We wait, when the time is right, the Heaven’s Tribulation will call on us? 』
She recounted everything that happened so far in her mind, sighed and spoke: 『 Li Yang, how did you become acquainted with this person, tell Mother? 』
『 Huh? Why does Mother want to know such a minor thing?? 』Li Yang asked, a bit unpleasant.
『 Because I need to carefully evaluate this person all over again from the very start? 』the Progenitor Fiendess sighed.
——-
On another side.
The ocean layer.
Gu Qing Shan flew through the rapid water current, following the exact same path he did before to locate the ghost army’s main camp.
The ghost army was stationed on the East, the demonized on the West, they didn’t mingle with each other, but they maintained a close eye on each other.
Gu Qing Shan released his flying swords and formed hand seals.
“The Heaven’s Tribulation is going to catch up very soon, so you all need to be fast!” Gu Qing Shan said.
All three swords gave off a sharp gleam.
They all vibrated, dived into the ocean water and flew towards the ghost army’s camp.
The three swords quickly flew around the camp’s edge, slicing through the layer of ice.
When the first ghost had noticed, the three swords had managed to circle around the camp once and cut out a gap about the width of an arm.
At first glance, this didn’t seem to be useful at all.
A camp that could house 100,000 ghosts was quite large, about the size of a small town, so even though it began to float after it was severed from the bigger ice layer, it was still stable enough to not move at all on the surface of the ocean.
Since there was an eternal snowstorm above, the temperature was very low, in just a few dozen breaths’ worth of time, the gap would have refrozen and sealed back up.
But Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass.
He kept flying upwards as he summoned his swords.
The three swords returned to hovering around him.
“The most crucial moment is now, Earth sword, your turn”
「 Don’t worry, just make the hand seal and I’ll give everything I’ve got? 」
“Shannu, you can go now, remember to let loose a bit when acting, don’t be too nervous”
“Understood, I’ll go now”
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flashed and disappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin sword and glanced downwards.
A bit further under the ocean, boundless thunder and lightning were creeping up.
The sea of Tribulation Lightning was about to catch up.
