Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Standing at the top of the stone stairs, Gu Qing Shan pointed his sword downwards.

In the darkness, wind began to converge, then abruptly receded in every direction like a storm.

A current of endlessly flowing sword phantoms erupted in a flash.

"Go" Gu Qing Shan casually said.

Boom!!!

Sword phantoms continuously appeared from the Earth sword like a blinding waterfall.

Everything in their way was destroyed-------

Secret Art, [Great Flood]!

When the first wraith showed up with a demon-faced tower shield attempting to stop the flow of swords, he was mercilessly erased without issues.

The second wraith quickly formed a hand seal and transformed into an actual wraith-like creature whose entire body was blue and purple, erupting in a resounding howl.

The flood of swords enveloped him, after which he was nowhere to be seen.

The third and fourth wraiths both wielded a burning talisman to form a burning mirror of light to block the sword phantoms------

Boom!!!

The mirror broke, they died!

The fifth, sixth, seventh wraith appeared all at once, standing back-to-back and shouted in unison: "Heaven and earth are devilish, only I am demonic!"

The sword phantoms arrived.

Within the blinding flood of swords, the three wraiths fused with one another, turning into a three-headed, six-armed monster. The six arms formed individual hand seals while the three mouths chanted an incantation, abruptly shouting: "True Demon Thought Forms!"

Countless demonic shadows appeared from the monster's body, each wielding a strange-looking weapon, and started fighting against the sword phantoms.

The sword phantoms slowly faded away.

The three-headed, six-armed monster stood still in the middle of the path, still completely intact.

It wasn't in a hurry to pursue the attack and instead took a stance, drawing a blade, a mace, and a staff to wield in the six hands, then finally turned to Gu Qing Shan.

"So it was you, Baron Rhode, for what reason did you suddenly ambush us?"

It questioned with a confused look.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and spoke in a warm voice: "I'm just here to pay a visit"

He threw a punch backward without turning around.

At the very moment he threw the punch, a wraith suddenly appeared behind him wielding two sharp spikes on his hand, apparently getting ready to attack.

"Do it!"

The three-headed, six-armed monster shouted.

But the wraith stood completely still as if he was daydreaming.

A sword phantom heavily slashed across.

His head was sliced off.

Holding the head in his hand, Gu Qing Shan pointed at them with his sword: "It's not interesting at all for others to fight for you, come at me yourself"

The three-headed, six-armed monster's expression became dark and muttered in a low voice: "Baron Rhode, you asked for it"

Its six arms clasped together to form a hand seal.

Cackling noises popped up around its body, soon manifesting a malicious figure------

Shu!

A tiny noise.

The malicious figure abruptly scattered and disappeared without a trace.

"Hak… khak…"

The monster spat up blood as it stood still, slowly looking down.

A sword had pierced through its chest, with another sword piercing through from behind.

-------[Swallow Returns]

The two intersecting swords directly stripped the monster of its life.

An orange cat raised an autumn water-like blue steel sword, coldly declaring: "Meow"

A cold gleam flashed.

The monster was ripped apart, its entire body finely diced by tiny sword phantoms and turned into a mist of blood, scattering away by the howling wind.

The orange cat put the sword away, turned back into a girl, then hid into the void of space before turning back into a sword and returned to Gu Qing Shan's hand.

------it was the Six Paths Great Mountain sword that Gu Qing Shan had let go from his left hand earlier.

"So many powerful techniques and spells that they haven't even used" Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

"They don't use their heads at all when they kill, so they're still quite green compared to gongzi" Shannu followed up his words.

「 What are you praising him for… 」the Earth sword whispered.

"None of your business" Shannu coldly replied.

Gu Qing Shan's figure shifted and disappeared.

He appeared at the innermost chamber of this base.

In the middle of the empty yard, only a single wraith whose body was stuck full of talismans remained, hovering in the air.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then had Shannu stand next to him while he took out a black bow, continuously unleashing arrows towards the wraith.

"Rhode! Baron Rhode! You mercilessly slaughtered the people of our Wraith realm without any reasons, we will definitely report this to his grace the Duke, and have you pay the price for your crime! Mark my words!"

The wraith threatened him fiercely without any assurance.

Gu Qing Shan didn't stop his hands.

Arrows continued to pierce through the talismans and punctured the wraith's body.

Blood flowed.

"You wanted to steal my body, so killing you is nothing but justice, no one will say anything" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The wraith froze, then muttered in a harrowing voice: "So you already know"

A burst of flames appeared from his body then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, 7-8 of the talismans on the wraith's body began to burn, the blue vapor that they gave off slowly formed into sharp pikes.

"I'm not the same as those useless garbages" the wraith casually said.

The pikes were as numerous as a forest, reaching Gu Qing Shan in almost an instant and gave him practically no time to dodge.

Gu Qing Shan barely managed to avoid the majority of them, but still got hit a few times, causing him to spit up blood.

The wraith clicked his tongue, sighing: "Rhode, you truly are a rare talent. Not only did you manage to find this place alone, but you also managed to bypass all of our prepared formations and discover our plans------ but regretfully, a large number of Combatants will arrive here in five breaths' worth of time, and you will die"

Five breaths?

Gu Qing Shan abruptly shouted: "Card!"

"Huh? What did you just say?" the wraith confusedly said.

Gu Qing Shan didn't pay attention to him.

Hearing him, Shannu immediately put the jade piece in her hand away.

Gu Qing Shan's figure moved like a ghostly shadow, easily avoiding the hail of pikes.

Compared to how tough it looked for him earlier, he was now like a completely different person.

Swatting a group of pikes shadows away with his bow, he asked: "Shannu, did you manage to record that?"

Examining the jade piece in her hand, Shannu nodded and loudly said: "I recorded everything, but gongzi spat up too much blood earlier, it's a bit of a waste"

"It's fine, it adds to the realism" Gu Qing Shan loudly replied.

The 5th breath.

The glow of formations appeared all over the ground------

Someone was teleporting here.

The reinforcement that the wraith had mentioned was about to arrive!

With a flick of his hand, the bow Gu Qing Shan was holding disappeared, replaced by a dark green bow that gave off indescribable fluctuations.

------Dreamscape Soul Artifact, [Bow of Fallen Souls]!

"See you later"

Arrows were instantly let loose, not towards the wraith in the air, but towards the ground.

Zi zi zi zi… shill---------

Every arrow that touched the ground quickly gave off a corroding noise that quickly ate through the ground and fell.

This was the power of the [Bow of Fallen Souls], the corrosion of all things.

The teleportation was cut off.

Staring closely at the wraith, Gu Qing Shan silently took one step back.

Layers of fog appeared out of nowhere, enveloped him, then disappeared.

[Fog Realm Descent]!

Gu Qing Shan had escaped from this wraith base.

He appeared in the wilderness just outside Ramon village.

Shannu gave the jade piece to Gu Qing Shan, asking him: "Gongzi, what do we do now?"

Gu Qing Shan pondered; a bit troubled: "I don't have enough jade tags…"

Suddenly, a scorching sensation came from his wrist.

The blue skull pattern began to burn, followed by the world spirit's voice:

「 At your feet… 」

Gu Qing Shan crouched down as instructed and brushed off the uppermost layer of dirt.

A piece of pure-white jade was reflected in his eyes.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and searched his surroundings.

------in a radius of several dozen miles, high-quality white jade filled the ground!

Gu Qing Shan paused a bit, then chuckled: "I almost forgot, the world is currently on my side"

He traced his finger in the air, swiftly cutting many pieces of jade from the ground, made them into jade tags, then copied everything from the jade piece to the jade tags with spirit energy.

Gu Qing Shan didn't stop until he created a total of 300 identical jade tags.

「 When these jade tags spread all over the world, the time of war shall begin 」the Earth sword commented.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: "The wraiths had already become so deeply rooted in this world for so many years already, minor tricks and ploy aren't going to do anything. The only chance this world has to triumph against the wraith, plague, and monsters is for me to prematurely push it past the brink of war"

"But when, how should we spread these jade tags?" Shannu asked.

"It was originally going to be very troublesome, but since the wraiths had given me a hand and the world spirit was also on my side--------"

Gu Qing Shan tied a jade tag onto an arrow, then fully drew his bowstring.

The string gave off a loud bang like thunder as the arrow flew above the clouds, disappearing without a trace.

"This is… [Snowdrift]…" Shannu muttered.

"That's right, this is a Divine Skill, it'll reach 100,000 miles in no time at all, probably faster than those fast food delivery places back in the Freedom Confederate" Gu Qing Shan confirmed her guess.

「 I've already lived through quite a few years in several cultivation-type worlds, but this is the first time I've seen someone use a Divine Skill to deliver a jade tag 」the Earth sword muttered.

"But does gongzi have a target? Where would these jade tags be delivered to?" Shannu asked.

"I didn't have targets, but it has gotten a chance to do everything over. There are definitely things and people that it remembers well. It has targets"

"「 It? 」" the Earth sword and Shannu asked in unison.

"That's right"

Gu Qing Shan tied another jade tag onto another arrow.

In the wilderness, a gust of wind suddenly manifested.

The wind appeared out of nowhere, drifting around the flying arrow, seemingly trying to escort these jade tags to certain locations in this world.

"The wind will show those arrows the way" Gu Qing Shan continued: "Let the world spirit decide where these jade tags will be delivered to, right now, it is our ally"

Another arrow was let loose, flew above the clouds, then disappeared without a trace.
