Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 843: Time’s Up

The third ‘Gu Qing Shan’ turned transparent and slowly vanished from the surface of the water.

Everything returned to silence.

Gu Qing Shan stood alone on top of the water as lines of blood-red text on the screen.

[The Water Tribulation had ended]

[You are now a Void Revolution realm cultivator]

[You can make the following choices:]

[One, randomly draw a Card from the Condemnation (Fugitive) deck]

[Two, if you give up on this draw, during your next advancement, you will obtain the right to choose from one of five randomly drawn Lapis Cards]

Gu Qing Shan remembered something and doubtfully asked: “I know this Card deck should have quite a few unique Cards, so why haven’t I seen any of them?”

[Which Cards are you talking about?] [Origin] asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “For example, summoning puppets or weapon prohibition, both of these Cards are unique and powerful in their own ways”

Especially weapon prohibition, to be able to directly select and seal an opponent’s weapon, it truly was ridiculously powerful.

[Origin] answered him: [Venerable Envoy of Condemnation, you must first understand something, the Condemnation deck is an especially powerful weapon that can change itself depending on the user]

“In other words, I might never be able to draw those cards?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Indeed, due to their user’s varying characteristics and talents, even Cards of the same deck can change and transform into a completely different set of cards that is more suitable to the user] [Origin] explained.

“Then why was I able to obtain the [True Crimson Demon Spear]?”

[That simply means that the card was especially suitable for you]

“Alright then”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate for long before making his decision.

“I give up on drawing cards this time” he declared.

A line of text appeared on the [Origin] UI:

[As you have given up on drawing cards this time, when you reach Three Thousand Worlds realm, you will be able to perform a selective Card draw]

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded at this line of text.

The number of Cards he had didn’t matter, what mattered was that he could use them.

The world of water around him disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan found himself returning to where he was originally with the God of Frost and Chill, the figure of light, and Luo Bing Li standing guard for him.

“How is it?” Luo Bing Li asked from afar.

“It’s still only half-done, I need a bit more time” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the Realm Breaker Pill.

This was one of the most precious treasures left by the Bygone Era humans, each person could only use a single one during their entire lives.

For Gu Qing Shan, in particular, this pill could help him go from Void Revolution realm straight to Three Thousand Worlds realm.

Gu Qing Shan put the Realm Breaker Pill into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it!

Wait!

It’s stuck!

The pill was too large, he needed to chew it up a bit first.

Gu Qing Shan started to chew the pill while calming himself calm.

Yes, I shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry.

Nothing will happen to Zhi Luo just yet.

I barely spent any time passing the Water Tribulation.

The mountains of the Mahesvara realm are very sturdy, those people will need at least a few days to destroy the mountain and kill her.

Gu Qing Shan finally finished consuming the Realm Breaker Pill.

To be frank, this Realm Breaker Pill was a bit too sweet.

It was almost like candy.

Gu Qing Shan silently sensed the spirit energy changing within his body.

After reaching Void Revolution realm, his spirit energy reservoir was increased by a massive leap, combined with the help of this Realm Breaker Pill, it soon reached the quantity standard for Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivators.

The corresponding changes were.

The power of his sword strikes increased more than two-fold.

Spirit energy was the fuel for unleashing his sword techniques, so as the amount of fuel increased, so did the output.

This principle was the same for any caster-type cultivators as well as any other kinds of cultivators.

Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed and observed his body to find that there were no visible problems and calmed down.

He then pondered about the Heaven’s Tribulations he would soon face.

Wind, Fire, Water, Earth.

A cultivator attempting to reach Three Thousand Worlds realm must go through all four of these Tribulations in a row without fail.

This would be a tough and long process.

Without waiting for long, the wind had begun to howl around him.

Sand and dust were kicked up as the sky darkened.

And Gu Qing Shan was standing alone within the chaotic howling wind.

He was waiting.

At some point, the whispering of evil creatures began to appear in the wind.

The evil creatures showed up one by one, staring at Gu Qing Shan.

『 What powerful and energy-filled flesh, I already can’t contain myself 』

「 Don’t you dare try to steal it from me! 」

『 No, me! 』

They all charged towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts turned.

Secret Art, [Thousand Skies Drawn Shadows]

His 700 flying swords scattered.

Under the reinforcement of seemingly endless spirit energy, each flying sword gave off hundreds and thousands of black sword shadows.

The countless black sword shadows filled the entire Tribulation area, turning into a black screen.

A black screen of sword shadows.

“Already using your full strength?” Luo Bing Li sent her voice to ask him.

“Don’t have time to chit chat and joke around with these guys” Gu Qing Shan replied.

As the black sword shadows scattered into the air, all the evil creatures were completely decimated and blown away by the wind, not even leaving behind a single scrap.

During that short massacre, Gu Qing Shan had a sudden realization.

After going through so many battles, he found himself now able to control more flying swords at once.

“1200? Hm, should be around that much” he muttered.

The wind stopped blowing.

No evil creatures were left alive.

A transparent flame abruptly manifested and caught onto Gu Qing Shan’s body.

After Wind came Fire!

The flame spread and engulfed his entire body.

The flame expanded in front of Gu Qing Shan to reveal the scene of another world.

It was the Mahesvara realm.

“Time to kill some people”

Gu Qing Shan lightly muttered.

His soul vessel stepped forward, reached his hand into the void of space to grab the Chao Yin sword, and walked into the fire.

…

The old man sensed the overwhelming spirit energy coming from Gu Qing Shan’s body, arched his back and bowed: “My friend, the Mahesvara realm is like your second home away from home, we gladly welcome you here again”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him with a smile that didn’t seem like a smile.

“Didn’t you say that I had two choices, either to remain here or wait until you people killed Zhi Luo?”

The old man didn’t even dare to wipe the cold sweat from his head and smiled flatteringly: “It was only a joke of the moment, there is no need to think of it as anything but that, my friend”

“Was it really a joke?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The old man slapped his chest and quickly replied: “It was definitely a joke, definitely do not believe otherwise, sir”

Gu Qing Shan also glanced at the others.

“We were also joking”

“Yes, yes, it was hard for us to meet a new friend, so we joked around a bit”

“Friend, Zhi Luo is a good lady who’s closely related to you, why would we kill her?”

The cultivators all quickly followed up.

Gu Qing Shan nodded and asked: “Which means, all of you were only cracking jokes with me?”

“””Indeed! indeed!”””

The cultivators all hurriedly nodded.

“So it was only a joke, it seems I don’t need to be mad after all”

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

“That’s right!”

“Sir, there is no need to think too much about it, you are our esteemed guest, we wouldn’t do anything reckless”

“Come, come, come, get our friend some fine liquor”

“Hurry, get our finest food quickly as well”

The cultivators all got busy.

Seeing how they reacted, Gu Qing Shan put the Chao Yin sword back into the void of space.

The Chao Yin sword just let out a single ‘oong’ and disappeared.

This made quite a few of them sighed in relief.

Gu Qing Shan received the cup of liquor, glanced around, and took a headcount.

“701 people, tch, one extra. Fortunately, if I also crack a joke, it should be just enough”

He raised the cup to all the cultivators here.

They hurriedly raised their cups as well.

Gu Qing Shan swiftly drank the entire cup in a single breath.

At the same time, 700 sword images flashed.

Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]!

This was an assassination sword technique, not only was it as fast as a flash of light, it attacked the target from both the front and back at once, making it almost impossible to defend against.

All the cultivators in the plaza were eliminated in an instant.

Only the old man was still alive.

Gu Qing Shan put the cup back down and looked at him.

This time, the old man didn’t have another secret technique to protect himself, and because of Gu Qing Shan’s greatly increased cultivation realm, the old man couldn’t even resist the [True Soul Cleaving Eyes].

After vanishing for the blink of an eye, the old man appeared again.

His corpse landed directly on the ground.

Gu Qing Shan stood without moving.

The flying swords gathered behind him one after another until they formed two pairs of floating winds and faded back into the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan looked down at the corpses everywhere and muttered: “There, that’s how you should crack a joke”

After saying so, he leapt upwards and flew towards Zhi Luo’s location.
