Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1640: Causeless Sword

Chapter 1640: Causeless Sword

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

Certain things were now clear at first sight. In actuality, just by looking at Divine Skills like [Forgetting River Severance], [Rahu’s Eclipse of Sun and Moon], [Mountain Wraith], as well as weapons like the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and Devil King Warden Rod, one would be able to take a guess at the overall power level of Samsara Combatants at the very top level.

Shifu is much stronger than I am, but she clearly said that she was no match for the Grand Emperor.

Not to mention, these Samsara death fakers were all foxes and weasels who had an extreme level of grasp over the situation, as well as being capable of accurately discerning the circumstances.

They’ve most likely planned the Samsara Clash for Supremacy for countless years already.

—–meanwhile, the Awaitings on my side haven’t actually recovered their strength just yet.

If the Samsara Clash for Supremacy was to begin right now, I definitely cannot let those Samsara Combatants take advantage of Shifu’s soul fragment to restrain her.

In the end, if both sides were to clash, I truly wouldn’t be a match for any of them.

...Then I have no choice but to make a trip to the Dusty World.

But the Thousand Dragons Ancestor’s Hex will only last for three days.

The Apocalypses could also break through the Gate at any moment.

“Esteemed lady, we only have a total of three days, would that be enough time?” Gu Qing Shan worriedly asked.

The skeleton replied: 「 There’s no need to worry, you’ll understand when you see it, are there any other concerns? 」

Gu Qing Shan said: “I still have to search for a few Huang Quan Divine Artifacts for my comrades to allow them to remain within the Huang Quan realm”

The skeleton looked up at the sky, then pointed in a certain direction: 「 When the Apocalypses destroyed the Pantheon ruins, a Huang Quan realm had gotten detached from the Wraith realm’s restraints and was hiding in that direction, you can try and take a look 」

She broke off a piece of bone from her rib cage and handed it to Gu Qing Shan, explaining: 「 You have three hours to resolve this, after which, you only need to pour your power into this piece of bone and it will take both of you to the Dusty World Corridor 」

“Thank you, esteemed lady” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist.

Laura also clasped her fist to follow.

The skeleton nodded and said: 「 I’ll be waiting for you all at the Dusty World 」

After saying that, the skeleton collapsed and scattered all over the ground.

She had left.

The skeleton was only something that she had temporarily possessed.

So now, the only ones remaining on the small planet were Gu Qing Shan and Laura.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and examined the bone in his hand.

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[Occultism Bone: It can directly send you and your companion to the secret passage leading into the outermost layer of the Dusty World]

[Technique duration: 3 hours]

Gu Qing Shan skimmed through and told Laura: “It seems we’ll have to seize our time as well”

“Do we really only have three hours?” Laura curiously asked.

“Yeah. Taking advantage of this chance when those Samsara death fakers aren’t here, I want to properly finish the arrangements for all of my comrades, then we’re going to head into the Dusty World right away”

Gu Qing Shan took off the Bramble Bird ring from his hand and handed it to Laura.

Laura didn’t accept it.

“Gu Qing Shan, you should keep it. I can see that you usually don’t have any free time to make money or anything, so just keep it for daily expenses” she said.

“I only used your treasures before because it was an emergency, but in the end, this is still the treasure vault of your Bramble Bird Kingdom, how could I just keep it all like this?” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Laura replied: “You already saved all the worlds within the Space Vortex, but you still don’t want anything—— how about this, I’ll take back the Bramble Bird ring, but you already agreed to become a Duke of my Bramble Bird Kingdom, remember?”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

That’s true, I did agree.

Laura retrieved the Bramble Bird ring, then took out another glittering ring from her chest and handed it to Gu Qing Shan, telling him: “This is the Bramble Bird Kingdom’s Dukedom ring——– there’s a bit of salary and rewards for being the Duke inside, essentially things that you should have received. Once you put it on, you will have fulfilled your promise with me”

“Alright then” Gu Qing Shan replied.

This one is easier to accept.

He received the ring and put it on his palm.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve received the Bramble Bird King’s personal stash ring]

[Attention: This is the Bramble Bird King’s personal stash, it isn’t part of the country’s treasury, nor is it known to any vault managers. Only the Bramble Bird King themselves know of this ring’s existence]

[——All the greatest treasures within the Space Vortex are gathered in this ring]

Gu Qing Shan was completely speechless after reading through everything.

Laura clenched her tiny fists and cautiously said: “Hey! Are you feeling regret? Gu Qing Shan, if you try to be formal with me again, I’ll get angry you know!”

Gu Qing Shan smiled wryly.

Laura had probably prepared the items in this ring for a very long time.

——alright, Laura had gone through life and death battles by my side, not to mention many other occurrences. If I insist on refusing her, wouldn’t that mean I’ve been treating her as a sovereign rather than a comrade?

If Zhang Ying Hao and Barry were to help me and give me some precious items, how could I refuse them?

That’s simply not comradery!

“Very well, then from this moment onwards, I will officially become the Duke of the Bramble Bird Kingdom”

He then checked his hand again.

The Life Chaser ring was on his index finger.

The ring of liquor storage that Anna gave him fit tightly over his ring finger.

Gu Qing Shan simply slid the Bramble Bird King’s personal stash ring on his middle finger.

——-as expected, wealth is truly suitable to be worn on the middle finger for people to see.

Seeing him wear the ring, Laura happily smiled.

“Hmph, there you go, a man should keep his words”

She lifted her chin up and grandly said.

Gu Qing Shan picked her up and put her on his shoulder.

“Let’s hurry and search for that Huang Quan realm and find the Divine Artifacts to make the arrangements for my comrades”

Laura snuggly sat down and pointed her finger into the dark night sky: “Let’s go then!”

...

A certain Huang Quan realm.

Gu Qing Shan and Laura moved through the horde of dead people as numerous as water in the Forgetting River.

Laura had her flower umbrella opened to put up [Infinite Worlds Shelter], preventing the two of them from being discovered by anyone.

“There’s only three hours, where should we find the Divine Artifacts?” she asked.

There was nothing but dead people around them, as well as some hell spawns and hell judges who were sent to escort some of the most especially ferocious ones.

The Deities were freely moving in the sky while giving off a faint yellow glow.

Gu Qing Shan could even see one of the two twin snakes of black and white.

She was hurriedly flying through the sky towards the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

—-it’s not time for a reunion just yet.

Gu Qing Shan silently told himself and turned to Laura: “I had a conflict with the Deities from the Gates of Hell before, how about we take a look over there first?”

“Alright” Laura replied.

The two of them headed down a small path next to the Forgetting River.

The Gates of Hell were at the very end of the path.

Laura asked: “Should we rob them? Or steal them?”

“Asking for them or simply taking them, either is fine” Gu Qing Shan corrected her.

“Then your friends wouldn’t be able to show themselves in this Huang Quan world again. They’d need to live in a different Huang Quan world, otherwise, anyone would be able to tell” Laura commented.

“You’re right” Gu Qing Shan agreed.

He had already made the preparations to fight as he continued heading towards the Gates of Hell.

“...Gu Qing Shan, I have an idea” Laura looked at a large corpse monster lying on the banks of the Forgetting River and said.

“What’s that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You know that I have an ability called [Vagrant Treasure Collector], yeah?” Laura asked him in return.

“I remember, it was an ability to collect treasures without an owner” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Laura explained: “There’s nothing in this world except Huang Quan treasures, so if I can touch some of them, I might be able to collect a few ownerless Huang Quan Divine Artifacts—— this way, your friends wouldn’t offend people before they even showed up”

Gu Qing Shan paused.

“That’s true, but Huang Quan Divine Artifacts... wouldn’t they be too difficult for you to collect?”

Laura confidently said: “We’re currently in a Huang Quan world, so if I keep touching everything we come across, the chances of me collecting a Huang Quan Divine Artifact would greatly improve——– I might not be able to find any top-notch Divine Artifacts, but I’m confident in being able to find a normal Divine Artifact”

Gu Qing Shan remained silent for a few moments in thought.

——-in reality, for Fei Yue, Demon Dragon, Xiao Die, and the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower, all they need is a clean identity for them to enter the Huang Quan with.

With their strength, they’d be able to reach the top in no time at all.

At that time, it wouldn’t arouse any suspicions even if they changed to another Divine Artifact and divine seat.

With that in mind, Laura’s solution was the most suitable one.

Gu Qing Shan took out the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and Devil King Warden Rod, handing them both to Laura: “Take a look at these two first, then I’ll take you to the Naihe bridge, I heard that it was also a Divine Artifact”

“Alright” Laura happily said.

The two of them then strolled through the Naihe bridge, the Gates of Hell, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, as well as some mundane Huang Quan realm items from the market.

About 15 minutes later.

“Alright, I think that’s about enough, let’s begin now” Laura declared.

“I leave it all to you!” Gu Qing Shan sincerely told her.

Laura then reached her hand into the void of space and searched.

——–since her hand was already inside the void of space, only her arm could be seen, which made it look almost as if she was drawing lottery tickets or a raffle.

“Found one” Laura said.

Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “Let’s take a look at what it is”

Laura appeared hesitant and replied: “No, this is a decent item, but its property feels a bit lacking, so I don’t think it’s a Divine Artifact”

Property?

Are you saying you can tell whether or not the other party was a Divine Artifact or not just by touching it?

Perhaps noticing Gu Qing Shan’s confusion, Laura explained: “This is similar to a hunch from the unknown. Think of it like how expert ball-sport players can tell whether or not the ball would be able to move through as soon as it left the other party’s hand”

“I understand” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Laura didn’t pull her hand back and continued searching while explaining: “I’m going to put this artifact down and keep searching. This way, I won’t waste my energy for one draw”

Gu Qing Shan remembered her habits and asked: “Should I prepare something for you to eat?”

Laura replied: “I’m currently dieting, so don’t make too much”

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan then searched his Inventory Bag for some Bai Hua sect snacks.

While he was preparing to focus himself, Laura suddenly called out.

“Whoa, this is impressive, it’s definitely going to be a Divine Artifact”

After saying that, she pulled her hand back from the void of space.

——–she was now holding a jet-black blade in her hand that gave off a gloomy aura while blue wisps flew around its main body.

As Gu Qing Shan received it to check, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI right away:

[Divine Artifact: Blood Devouring Blade of Hundred Ghosts]

[This blade contains the following powers:]

[Ghostly Shadow: While you swing your sword to attack the enemy, this blade will continuously summon ghostly shadows to continuously interfere with the enemy’s senses]

[Blood Devouring Revenant: Whenever you successfully strike an enemy, you’d be able to immediately summon a hellspawn from Huang Quan to fight along your side]

[This was the personal blade of the number one Huang Quan Ghost General, it contains boundless power]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised as he stared at the description in front of his eyes and felt a bit puzzled.

So, we collected a Divine Artifact just like that?

For some reason, the esteemed lady’s hoarse voice echoed by his ears:

...

「 ... the Bramble Birds’ ancestors left them exceptionally powerful abilities, but did not teach their offspring well... 」

...

Being able to casually collect a Divine Artifact, coupled with [Infinite Worlds’ Shelter] and [Will of the Empress], not to mention the greatest treasure trove within the void——-

Who would be able to teach her?

Who would?

——if the Age of Apocalypse hadn’t arrived, most likely no one would have dared to try anything in front of a Bramble Bird.

“Laura, the esteemed lady gave you all of the Bramble Bird’s combat skills, right?”

“That’s right, after collecting these Divine Artifacts, I’ll begin” Laura smiled innocently at him.

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

That’s true, Laura is still maturing.

That esteemed lady mentioned that there was no need to worry about time.

...But it seems I’ll need to hurry up as well.

While Laura was collecting the Divine Artifacts, Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to the War God UI and ordered: “Activate ‘Enemy-killing sword technique'”

Lines of new glowing text quickly manifested in front of him:

[Activating]

[Preparing to display the Bygone Era sword technique: Causeless Sword]

[Once the sword is drawn, an enemy will die, a sword strike with an Effect but no Cause]

[This sword technique is a Causality Sword technique, a void sword technique that required an advanced understanding of swordsmanship in order for anyone to comprehend]

[——–The greatest sword technique of the Bygone Era]
