Chapter 1020: Void Deity
Silence.
The black cat was sitting on the flower umbrella as he glanced around with a serious expression.
His ears were occasionally moving, his eyes seemingly able to peer through the void and observe the things that others could not.
Gu Qing Shan’s group followed its directions and slowly flew forward.
Until finally.
They left all the corpse pillars behind and the only thing left in front of them was an empty void of darkness.
Intense wind was constantly howling within the darkness as if billions of souls were screaming and crying out without stopping.
Myao!
The black cat abruptly cried out.
Everyone immediately stopped and hurriedly took distance.
“The wind seems to be a bit too strong” Laura commented.
She randomly threw a metal shield towards the wind.
Sha——
In mere moments, the shield was shredded into metallic dust before being scattered.
And then the scattered dust was further shredded down into nothingness.
Laura opened her mouth wide and couldn’t help but mutter:
“Could it be, the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation?”
“That’s right. That is the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation. You can’t approach it otherwise no one would be able to save you” Boss told them.
“Is there no way forward?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Everyone turned to the black cat.
The black cat scoffed at the group and pointed its paw towards the void of space on their left.
The void?
Everyone was a bit confused.
Gu Qing Shan randomly unleashed a sword phantom to his left.
The arcing lightning slash flew through the empty void and quickly went far away.
But nothing happened.
Shannu spoke up: “Gongzi, I seem to sense something”
“Sense what?”
“I can sense that there’s some sort of concealment technique within that empty void, but it can’t be touched.
“Can you cut it apart?”
“I can, but it will also destroy that technique.
“Then forget it—- seems like we’re going the right way” Gu Qing Shan mused and told everyone: “However, it doesn’t help if we only know the right way. We most likely need to find the appropriate method as well in order to head into the deepest chamber of the ruin”
At this point, the king spoke up:
「 Wait a moment, the sealed information in my mind is slowly undoing itself 」
Saying so, he closed his eyes.
Everyone could only wait.
A few moments later.
The king opened his eyes and took out a scepter that was half the length of his arm
The king spoke emotionally: 「 This is the King’s Scepter, passed down through each generation of our royal family. Every king up to now had made sure to always carry it with them wherever they went, I had thought that this was simply an ancient etiquette and rule that my ancestor determined. Never did I expect that it would be used in this place 」
He wielded the scepter and heavily swung it against the empty void.
Bam!
A resounding sound of impact.
The scepter was knocked back.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
There was a door here!
“That sound was too loud, let’s hurry” Zhang Ying Hao reminded him.
「 I know 」the king replied.
He wielded the scepter and continued to pound the empty void.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
The resounding noise broke through the silence, echoing all around them.
Ye Fei Li’s expression changed.
“I can hear that monster. It’s quickly approaching us from above” he said.
Everyone was startled.
So, the monster still hasn’t left.
Could it be that it couldn’t find them so it had been staying above the forest of corpse pillars, silently waiting for its prey?
“Hurry up!” Gu Qing Shan loudly urged.
「 I know, I’m doing my best! 」 the king responded.
He grunted as he madly struck the empty void with the King’s Scepter.
At this point, everyone could hear that sound.
——-the ‘clik clak’ sound once again resounded in the thick empty darkness above.
The enormous grey maw that filled their vision once again appeared from the darkness.
Although [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] obscured all senses, the sound of the king striking the empty void of space allowed the grey maw to determine their location.
Dark grey runes began to manifest around Gu Qing Shan’s group to thoroughly seal this area off.
“Sealing this space off first? How smart”
Zhang Ying Hao glanced at the runes around them and muttered.
The grey maw had opened towards Gu Qing Shan’s group.
Tens of thousands of long slithering tongues shot out at once.
“We can’t defeat it. Even if we go against it at once, we’d still die. Quickly come up with something” Boss quickly said.
“Let me”
Zhang Ying Hao turned his hand and summoned a large shoulder-mounted cannon, propping it against his shoulder.
He pointed the muzzle of the cannon right at the maw.
“Don’t, Cannon Brother is our trump card, don’t let it go yet” Gu Qing Shan stopped him.
Gu Qing Shan drew a Card from the void of space.
The Card turned and manifested as a crimson spear that gave off rays of sharp red light.
[True Crimson Demon Spear]!
“Yah!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted and performed a spear technique.
Rapid Strike style – Rain Shower!
This wasn’t a particularly powerful technique, only the fastest one that Gu Qing Shan could find among the spear techniques that he had access to.
——-and he didn’t particularly need a powerful technique, right at this moment, all Gu Qing Shan needed was for it to be fast!
Because the [True Crimson Demon Spear] was unstoppably sharp!
The spear left layers upon layers of afterimages in his hand, forming a wave of red light that crashed against the intense rain of tongues from above.
The red light clashed against the long tongues!
Sha sha sha sha sha sha sha——–
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere!
The unstoppable demon spear completely decimated the tongues!
The pieces of severed flesh and blood continued to rain down from above.
Boss quickly shouted: “These things are highly poisonous, quickly blow them away!”
Laura swiftly pulled a fan out from her backpack and heavily swung it upwards.
A typhoon blew against the falling flesh and blood.
The pieces of severed tongues were swept upwards and fell back into the gaping grey maw.
The grey maw froze briefly.
Boss continued: “Gu Qing Shan, be careful. Just now it was due to how sharp your weapon is, but now it’s really getting angry”
Gu Qing Shan put the demon spear away and asked behind him: “Done yet?”
The king responded: 「 Soon! 」
He raised his scepter and swung down on the empty void.
Bam!
Countless cracks appeared in the void of space that spread into their surroundings.
At the same time, behind the gapping grey maw, the sound of numerous feet were coming closer and turning increasingly rapid.
The figure behind the grey maw slowly appeared from the darkness.
“My god, what is that?” Zhang Ying Hao muttered.
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen such a thing before” Laura blankly answered.
Everyone turned speechless for a short moment.
The monster in the darkness had revealed half of its body.
——it had a huge gaping grey maw with a pair of long whiskers on both sides, with a human face at the end of each strand.
The monster’s body consisted of countless corpses stuck together, slithering forward like a snake, but unlike a snake, there were countless human hands on the sides of its body.
With a rough estimation, there were several thousands of these hands in their vision, all of which were pushing back against the darkness like the crawling feet of a centipede.
At a glance, Gu Qing Shan was unable to recognize what kind of entity this was.
He turned to Boss.
Boss was unusually nervous as he quickly explained:
“Damn it, this is a Void Deity, we can’t handle it”
Ye Fei Li was surprised: “It’s clearly a monster, why did you say it’s a deity?”
Boss replied: “It’s power is equivalent to a deity within the void, capable of crushing all of us with just its willpower”
Laura was unconvinced: “But Gu Qing Shan just now—–”
“Gu Qing Shan only stopped its feeding, and we’re definitely going to die” Boss replied.
Zhang Ying Hao pulled out the cannon again and propped it against his shoulder.
This time, no one stopped him.
Sensing the indescribably eerie aura emerging from that monster, Gu Qing Shan wielded two swords and spoke behind his back:
“Your majesty, please hurry it up or we’re all done here”
The king also understood that it was a moment of life and death so he fully focused his strength and struck again with all his power.
「 Aaaaaa, open this thing! 」
BAM!
The cracks in the void of space thoroughly shattered into a hole.
The scene on the other side of the hole could be seen with the naked eye.
——–it was a ruined structure that seemed to be a garden.
A luxurious water fountain stood in the middle of the ruined structure.
「 Hurry, this hole will only remain for three breaths worth of time, we need to quickly go in! 」the king loudly shouted.
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Qing Shan grabbed him with his hand.
——-Gu Qing Shan had caught the king, Laura was sitting on his shoulder with her umbrella opened, while Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and Boss were all holding onto her umbrella.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
A withered tree abruptly appeared where Gu Qing Shan stood before.
This was one of the trees inside the garden.
At the same time, the Void Deity seemed to have regained its senses and swiftly crunched down with its maw!
Over a thousand meters away, the withered tree uttered a short and curt screech.
It wanted to struggle but vanished right away.
The grey maw above it was slowly chewing something.
Soon enough, as if realizing something amiss, the Void Deity howled in anger.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan’s group had arrived inside the garden.
While it seemed long, all of this happened in a single blink of an eye.
If Gu Qing Shan had been a split second slower, everyone would have been devoured by the monster.
The hole in the void of space gradually closed.
One breath’s worth of time left!
The Void Deity charged forward like lightning.
It reached out with its two whiskers and bit onto the two ends of the hole with the human faces at the end.
『 Don’t even think of escaping 』
The monster used telepathy to transmit its declaration.
Miraculously!
As the monster pulled with its two whiskers, the hole in the void of space began to expand again!
Everyone in the garden naturally saw this.
This Void Deity-class monster actually had the ability to rip open the void of space, seemingly about to follow them.
Once it entered, who would be able to fight against it?
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight swiftly scanned their surroundings and found that this was a completely sealed garden, the darkness around it seemed to act as a form of sealing restraint.
This was a closed-off environment.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate any longer and shouted: “Zhang Ying Hao!”
“Got it!”
Zhang Ying Hao aimed at the hole in the void with Cannon Brother and pulled the trigger.
A low resounding voice echoed from inside the muzzle of the cannon:
[This is the moment to face a completely new challenge]
Boom!!!
A blinding pillar of light shot out from the cannon, heavily struck at the hole in the void and at the top of the monster’s head!
The monster uttered a furious roar——
From the way it sounded, the impact didn’t seem to cause it any pain, but this world-destroying force was too great—– enough to make sure that it couldn’t remain in place.
A split second later, the pillar of light enveloped the monster and disappeared from the front of the hole in the void.
The hole slowly closed up.
This time, it was truly closing.
