Chapter 1279: Delimitation Divine Sword artifact spirit

As Gu Qing Shan found out the truth of the situation.

At the end of the Tomb River.

Where a gigantic tomb rested.

In front of the tomb, three old men hovered in mid-air.

The three Wraith Lords of the Wraith realm!

Around them, people from the Wraith realm knelt all over the ground, possibly over a hundred thousand in number.

Among them, there were some who did not wear Wraith masks.

They were the ancient guardians of this tomb, which the three Wraith Lords had somehow convinced or subdued and turned into their subordinates.

The entire scene was so silent that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

A few moments later.

A man in a Wraith mask descended from the sky, kneeling on one knee in front of the three Wraith Lords, and spoke:

“Wraith Lords sir, the core fragments have all been collected, we can be on our way at any moment”

One of the Wraith Lords spoke up:

“Hm, the rest of the fragments don’t matter, with so many worlds in our hands, we would naturally be able to reforge this sword one way or another”

Another Wraith Lord casually spoke: “Then let us go, bring this Samsara Delimitation Sword back with us”

The third Wraith Lord replied: “What’s the hurry, let me examine this tomb for a bit longer—— this is the True Samsara Tomb that would only manifest after the Beast King realm had fused over 99% of its fragments”

His gaze was filled with interest as he looked forward.

The other two Wraith Lords followed his gaze, looking upon the True Samsara Tomb that was made from a giant stone sword.

The stone sword stabbed deeply into the ground.

Where the body of the sword and the ground met, entities of various shapes and sizes were depicted from stone, their expressions displaying pain and suffering.

“61 different entities” one of the old men said.

“In other words there were 61 types of inheritance hidden in this place, but among them, the singularity inheritance [Ethereal] had disappeared, yet it was also our goal in the first place” another old man regretfully muttered.

The third old man: “Let us discuss the inheritance at a later time. Right now, we need to leave”

The other two Wraith Lords both slightly nodded their heads.

“The Delimitation Divine Sword has been taken away by us, all the Apocalypse would soon erupt. Most likely, the Tomb of Myriad Beasts will once again be reduced to countless fragmented worlds”

“Not too long from now, around 15 minutes at most, everything here will be destroyed, followed by the Tomb of Myriad Beasts...”

The three Wraith Lords stopped talking.

They brought their Wraith realm army and left this place.

...

“So that is what was going on, once the Wraith realm humans take this sword away, the tomb would no longer have an artifact to suppress the Apocalypses, all the Apocalypses would erupt at once, eradicating the Tomb of Myriad Beasts...”

Gu Qing Shan said, then turned to Shan Hai Qi Xia.

Her expression was ghastly.

——all the Apocalypses would ravage the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.

Not the Apocalypse illusions, but the countless true Apocalypses themselves.

Under the endless torrent of Apocalypses, everything will be thoroughly destroyed.

Gu Qing Shan took her hand and squeezed it tightly, signaling her not to expose herself.

As the wife of the War Shaman, she should not reveal any emotions from the destruction of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts and the humans within.

Shan Hai Qi Xia understood, barely managing to maintain her calm.

Gu Qing Shan held the Nine Serenity Yin Incantation Jade Tablet and relayed this information to NEET Gu Qing Shan, then turned to the monsters and asked: “Have you determined any targets ahead of time?”

One of the monsters spoke: “We’ve located a certain burial ground that hid a lot of powerful Apocalypses, so there were also many sword fragments left to protect that burial ground”

“Then, once we arrive, let us take those fragments” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The monsters all responded: “Yes, your grace”

The Wraith’s corpse continued to drift forward.

Shan Hai Qi Xia was so worried she couldn’t keep herself calm at all, but having no other solutions, she could only hold Gu Qing Shan’s hand tightly, unable to even utter a word.

Suddenly.

Gu Qing Shan noticed something and reached his hand into the void of space.

The Nine Serenity Yin Incantation Jade Tablet returned to his hand again.

NEET Gu Qing Shan’s voice sounded in his Thought Sea:

[All the Apocalypses are going to erupt? It’s over, I don’t have a solution for that, what about you?]

Gu Qing Shan laughed bitterly, then silently sent his voice:

“It took so much effort just to deal with a single illusion, if the true Apocalypses truly does arrive, the two of us alone wouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

——not to mention, it wouldn’t be just a single true Apocalypse, but all of them at once.

He put the Nine Serenity Yin Incantation Jade Tablet back into the void of space, which then returned before even a minute had passed.

NEET Gu Qing Shan’s voice sounded again: [Hey, be careful, there’s an Apocalypse illusion I’ve never seen before approaching you, it’s really fast——— oh no, you’re not going to be able to avoid it]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart felt heavy.

“Watch out!”

He shouted.

Everyone was a bit clueless.

Suddenly, a flash of light came flying downstream from the Tomb River.

This flash of light was so quick that it was basically at the speed of thought, as soon as they recognized it was there, they had already been enveloped by it.

Sha——-

Everyone was taken into the flash of light and disappeared.

Unusually.

The drifting Wraith’s corpse also disappeared with them.

...

Heaven and earth turned around on their heads.

Gu Qing Shan landed on the ground.

Soon after, Shan Hai Qi Xia also landed.

Around them was the ruins of a vast city without borders.

The monsters were not around them, quite obviously been teleported elsewhere.

“Another Apocalypse illusion” Gu Qing Shan felt a headache.

All the Apocalypses are about to erupt, but right at this crucial moment, I was transported into another Apocalypse illusion.

——-wait a moment.

If I continued to remain inside an Apocalypse illusion, would I be able to avoid the other Apocalypses?

For example, if I remain inside this illusion, would I be able to avoid that long-cheek skull?

That Apocalypse is truly terrifying, capable of sending someone away from Space and Time with just a gaze, forever trapping them in emptiness.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Shan Hai Qi Xia clutched her face in her palms and began to cry.

“I already am helpless to save even a single person” she said as she sobbed.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The Wraith realm had already taken the Delimitation Divine Sword away after I’ve only just entered this world for a short period.

It’s too late.

Without any information, I had no way of predicting any of this, completely helpless to do anything about it.

I basically couldn’t do anything.

And now, the Wraith realm is about to release all the Apocalypses.

—–or rather, they had already left, leaving all the Apocalypses to their own devices?

This is a hopeless situation without any chances to turn things over.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, his four swords suddenly appeared behind him.

Shan Hai Qi Xia also sensed it and instinctively took out her purple bell, gazing ahead.

On top of a broken wall, a single Wraith stood.

Its body was formed out of continuously drifting black fog, the thick miasma depicting its ferocious facial features.

“It’s you!”

Gu Qing Shan and Shan Hai Qi Xia both called out at the same time.

——-this Wraith was exactly the same as the Wraith’s corpse that carried them drifting through the Tomb River.

It spoke directly: 「 There isn’t much time, we’ll make it brief 」

「 After the guardians betrayed the Samsara years ago, the Apocalypse illusions began to flow out from the great tomb bit by bit, I had no choice but to split myself into many pieces to suppress the various locations of the great tomb, but very recently, I’ve been feeling more and more inadequate 」

「 With my original plan, I would have chosen a wielder among all those who entered the great tomb to once again help me suppress those Apocalypses 」

「 However, there is no longer time for that, as the Wraith realm humans have already brought my real body away with them 」

「 Without my real body present, all the Apocalypses would shortly erupt 」

At this point, it paused and looked at the two of them.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Then, you are the artifact spirit of this sword? No wonder you were never swept into the Apocalypses, but constantly taking people down the Tomb River——- I suppose that Apocalypse illusions were all guided by you to test and choose a new wielder?”

「 That is exactly the case. The Wraith realm humans managed to go beyond my expectations, so I no longer have the time to carefully make my choice 」

The black fog wraith turned to Gu Qing Shan and raised its hand.

In its hand was a length of black wood, carved into the shape of two wraith heads intertwining with one another to form a handle.

The handle of a sword.

It explained: 「 This is the sword handle that I had hidden away, as long as the Wraith realm does not have this sword handle, they cannot completely take control of me 」

「 Urgency calls for desperation, I hope that you will now take my sword handle with you and quickly leave this great tomb 」

「 If you can take me and escape from the great tomb, you will be presented with some of the inheritances within the great tomb. Unlike your [Ethereal], the other inheritances can be practiced by many people, capable of helping those around you quickly become stronger 」

「 Later on, I shall accompany you to the Wraith realm to retrieve the blade of my body 」

「 If your performance during this process is especially excellent, I can even consider taking you as my wielder and master—— but not right now 」

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan went silent.

This time, it was the Wraith artifact spirit that felt confused.

I’m the Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword, anyone else would practically go berserk at my offer.

But he is remaining silent.

What’s going through his mind?

The Wraith artifact spirit said: 「 All the Apocalypses are about to erupt; do you still intend to remain here? Your single hand cannot make a clap, there is no way to change this fact, or destroy all the Apocalypses, this is a hopeless situation that cannot be overturned by anyone 」

「 ——That’s why, you must hurry and take me, then leave! 」

Gu Qing Shan continued to remain silent.

He turned to Shan Hai Qi Xia.

Shan Hai Qi Xia had basically broken.

“The Tomb... of Myriad Beasts... is done for” she silently wept as she muttered.

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “That’s right, it would be too late now to return and evacuate the others as well”

Li Qiu Yu and her brother, Zhao Qiong, Wang Shun, everyone will surely perish in the Apocalypse.

Everyone, every human in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts would lose their lives within the countless Apocalypses.

At this point, the Wraith artifact spirit dissolved into black fog and became fully absorbed into the sword handle, then flew in front of Gu Qing Shan.

It called out again:

「 Gu Qing Shan! There really isn’t much time left, while the traitor guardians are still being restrained by me, we need to hurry and escape! 」

Gu Qing Shan silent again for a short moment before speaking: “I—– still want to give it a try...”

Shan Hai Qi Xia abruptly looked up at him with her mouth wide, afraid to ask him.

She was afraid that he might give her an answer that would cause her more despair.

The Wraith artifact spirit spoke, amused: 「 You? You certainly were impressive, but in front of the never-ending Apocalypses, any one person is ultimately an insect 」

“Indeed” Gu Qing Shan admitted, “All of us, in front of the Apocalypse, are nothing but insects”

His gaze met with Shan Hai Qi Xia.

“I’ve agreed to help you” he said.

Shan Hai Qi Xia stared straight back at him.

“I’ll say this first, I can only give it a try, if it really is hopeless, we should still retreat——- after all, there’s no sense staying here to die” he continued.

Shan Hai Qi Xia grabbed his hands and spoke with a trembling voice: “I, Shan Hai Qi Xia, shall make my pledge! As the only person whose soul remains after obtaining my inheritance, I represent all Combatants of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts who have discovered this fact, hereby swearing to be your ally in life and death!”

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then turned to the sword handle covered in black fog and said: “Wait a moment”

The Wraith artifact spirit asked: 「 What exactly are you trying to do? 」

Gu Qing Shan held the twin swords Heaven and Earth in his hand.

“Luo Bing Li” he silently called out.

“Hm? I’m here” Luo Bing Li replied.

“I recall that during the Age of Old, it was you who took the components of the abyssal Soul Artifact other than the Earth sword and Heaven sword” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Your eyes were very sharp, that was certainly the case” Luo Bing Li replied.

Gu Qing Shan continued non-stop: “I remember... when Lin was hiding in the shadows and you told me to guess your identity——- you were in fact the artifact spirit of the Eternal Abyssal Soul Artifact, born at the moment of the weapon’s creation. And the full name of the twin swords Heaven and Earth should be: Abyssal Soul Artifact, the main body of the Abyssal Weapon, Evil-warding weapon of the Bottomless Abyss, the Guardians against ultimate extinction, the Swords of Changing Fate, the Key to infinite worlds”

Luo Bing Li slowly understood, her expression becoming full of disbelief.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered with faint light, speaking in a whisper: “This is troublesome, truly troublesome to an extreme degree, so much so that I can die at a moment of carelessness, and even if I die, I wouldn’t be able to save those people, unable to Tomb of Myriad Beasts, and as you know one hand cannot make a clap——”

Luo Bing Li remained silent, then finally relent: “Then, the thing you’re looking to do is actually—–”

“Seeing how I can’t deal with the current situation by myself, I think I’m going to take a quick trip to some parallel worlds” Gu Qing Shan paused a bit, then finally explained: “The only issue is that even if I went to a parallel world, no one would arbitrarily trust me so readily in such a short time”

“So, I’m preparing to find an army of myself as reinforcement for this battle”
