Chapter 1230: When the Apocalypse arrives!

The insect’s body vanished into the void.

Zhao Qiong was unable to react in time and stayed frozen in place.

That extremely tough and sly insect of Apocalypse was killed, just like that?

She turned to the man in front of her.

Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword as his face focused on the void of space.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve activated ‘Earth’s Choice’]

[Earth’s Choice: Slay any and all entities]

[This slaying costed a total of 100,000 Soul Points]

[Attention, the stronger the target you wish to slay, the more Soul Points ‘Earth’s Choice’ would require]

Gu Qing Shan didn’t find that to be very surprising.

100,000 Soul Points might be a lot, but it wasn’t much to the current him, as long as he had the Earth sword in hand and Soul Points to spend, he would still be confident.

During the spirit linking, he was unable to move in that space, that was why the insect was able to act so haughtily and almost killed him.

In truth, with his current level of swordsmanship, he might not be able to kill too many of those black insects, but a single one of them wasn’t even enough for him to break a sweat.

This insect’s true terror lay in how it could perfectly disguise as someone else, copying their personality, abilities, characteristics, and even memory.

If they were allowed to infiltrate a civilization, they could silently and swiftly corrode the entire civilization from within.

This was their true terror.

Suddenly, a corner of the War God UI changed.

The ‘Remaining Soul Points’ value was increased by 50,000.

A line of glowing text appeared to notify him:

[Your personal strength was vastly stronger compared to this black insect, but considering how it had many unused unique abilities that could destroy an entire world from its destructiveness alone, you obtained 50,000 Soul Points from killing it]

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

Wait?

These insects still had unused abilities?

...I’m glad I used assassination techniques in order to kill it in one strike without giving it a chance to use them, otherwise the outcome might have been very different.

Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally, with heavy emotions in his heart.

“This humble one is Zhao Qiong of the School of Shan Hai, who might you be, your grace?” a female voice sounded.

Zhao Qiong was bowing to greet him.

Gu Qing Shan turned to her and replied: “I am—-”

Who am I?

In this world, I might need to show up from time to time, or not at all, but I will need a way to introduce my background.

I can’t say that I’m from Bai Hua sect, since Shifu is still madly breaking through the cultivation realms at this point in time, and my juniors don’t have very high cultivation.

Ah, I also have a senior brother with exceptionally low cultivation.

I can’t let others reach them through my background in a situation like this.

Then how should I introduce myself?

Both background and title sometimes carry significance, like when one is trying to make a transaction or making an ally, the other party would always make their decisions based on one’s background and past.

Sometimes, it can even be used to lure a snake out from its den.

Gu Qing Shan paused for a bit, then replied: “I came from the space vortex organization——– Don’t Know Yet, my name is Gu Qing Shan”

Don’t Know Yet?

What kind of organization is that?

What exactly haven’t they known yet?

Zhao Qiong froze for a few moments, then realized that she was being rude and hurriedly bowed again: “Thank your grace for acting, otherwise I wouldn’t have been its match”

After that, she immediately said: “With my current strength, I wouldn’t be able to destroy this tower. I need to contact the Western Sea Grotto right away to request the true powerhouses’ help”

Gu Qing Shan observed her worried expression, then also turned his gaze towards the Tower of Corpses.

The tower was several meters tall, made completely from corpses.

A sense of brutality and hatred exuded from that tower, quickly filling its surroundings.

The darkness drifting around the tower was growing increasingly clearer.

The 8-legged human-faced insects on the other side could be seen clearly now.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped.

“It’s already too late, I can sense their presence, if we won’t flee right now, we might be devoured by them” Gu Qing Shan purposely said.

Zhao Qiong clenched her teeth: “But I can’t let this Apocalypse spread, otherwise the Eastern Desolate Grotto would be done for”

She took out several blood-colored pieces of bones and quickly arranged them on the ground.

Watching her actions Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

——–there were several kinds of Combatants within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.

Firstly, Spirit Linked Martial Artists.

Secondly, Weapon Wielders.

Thirdly, Bone Masters.

Zhao Qiong was one such Bone Master, specializing in using ancient bones to form connections and obtain the corresponding supernatural powers.

Observing her personal presence and gestures, as well as the battle earlier, Gu Qing Shan concluded that she wasn’t a Bone Master with a combative expertise.

Perhaps, she’s more of a researcher?

But she dared to fight with her life on the line against that strange insect, and now that the Apocalypse seemed imminent, she still insisted on trying to contact others to get rid of it.

Gu Qing Shan respected such people.

While arranging the bones, Zhao Qiong said: “Your grace, please help protect me, I will need some time to prepare”

Gu Qing Shan looked at her actions, then at the Tower of Corpses.

He sighed and said: “You’re not going to make it in time”

Zhao Qiong looked up.

The darkness around the Tower of Corpses had connected together, manifesting as an unknown world.

The tower itself had also begun to emanate a rhythmic vibration.

—–the tower is quickly coming to life!

What exactly will be turned into?

Zhao Qiong felt despair in her heart, but her actions quickened.

“Your grace, then please escape first, I should inform the others of this, otherwise, if nothing is known of this, the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts will fall into danger”

Gu Qing Shan looked at her again.

——-what a firm girl.

He silently praised her in his mind, then started heading towards the Tower of Corpses.

This Apocalypse was something I led to this place.

For the living beings of this city, they were only caught up in it.

So, I should take the corresponding responsibility.

“Your grace, what are you doing? Please be careful!”

Noticing his actions, Zhao Qiong quickly reminded him.

“It’s fine”

While walking forward, Gu Qing Shan continued speaking: “I’ve only heard of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts’ reputation before, so I came from the far void to visit. During our meeting today, I can see that you indeed are individuals of excellent characters, the likes of which the Wraith realm cannot compare”

He let go of the Earth sword and let this sword with ancient design disappear behind him.

A second later, Gu Qing Shan started flying up——

Zhao Qiong looked up at him.

Is this expert swordsman really going to run?

She first felt disappointed, but quickly found it obvious.

I have a mission to accomplish, but I can’t ask others to also lay their life down with me within this land of death.

She consoled herself like this.

——but it wasn’t as she was thinking.

Gu Qing Shan ascended with a gust of wind, grabbing another slim but sharp sword in his hand.

The Heaven sword.

While flying, Gu Qing Shan swung the sword.

His overwhelming spirit energy manifested as a sword seal, creating countless sword qi to erupt within the night sky.

Sword Array, Taiyi!

The countless sword qi howled like a strong wind as they descended from above, completely encompassing the entire Tower of Corpses.

A tornado was formed!

The flesh and blood quickly vanished in this wind, once again reformed themselves, changed, and returned to their original state at a certain moment in the past.

The Heaven sword.

A sword that contained the boundless power of the Eternal Abyss, had performed a single [Chaotic Flow] at full power!

“Ah...ah...”

Zhao Qiong opened her mouth wide, watching the miraculous sight in front of her, unable to utter a single word.

People.

Those who have died.

Were being resurrected.

No, this couldn’t be considered resurrection, as they merely returned to a moment in the past when they were still alive.

At that time, their death still hadn’t occurred.

They were still healthily alive.

Rumble!!!

The entire Tower of Corpses immediately began to collapse, turning back into living people.

This terrifying tower of flesh and blood had been turned into a tower of living people, which stripped it of the eerie power it had earlier.

Without the eerie power to support the tower, the surging darkness also faded away into the void.

The insects that were madly jittering about uttered their silent shrieks as they wanted to break through the restraints of their world and descend upon this one.

But it was useless.

They originally still needed a bit of time to break through this world’s barrier, and now that the tower was gone, they didn’t have the means to arrive.

The dark shadows, the strange insect pattern on the ground, the tower of bones, flesh, and blood, everything was gone.

The world barrier had closed back up, dispelling it all.

The threat was resolved.
