Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Standing on a piece of rock, Gu Qing Shan was silently observing the Qilin in front of him.

"I'll be honest, I don't want to die" he earnestly said.

The Qilin's body suddenly discharged several layers of dust clouds as it roared: 「 That's not up to you! 」

Fwoom------

The dust clouds erupted and started spreading in every direction.

This entire region seemed to have been enveloped in dust, making it so that Gu Qing Shan couldn't even flee if he wanted to.

The Qilin declared in a solemn tone: 「 This one acts upon the will of heaven to patrol the mortal realm and oversee the Elements, the wolf race's envoy is a servant of the Heaven realm, so for killing him, you must pay with your life 」

Gu Qing Shan sighed and shrugged: "It's so boring to fight and kill all the time, they say the heaven treasures life, so how about we shake to make up and have a meal together?"

「 How impudent! 」the Qilin roared in anger.

Its voice reverberated across heaven and earth, causing the dust storm around them to boil up as well.

The erupting dust then swiftly manifested into silhouettes of people as they rapidly took actual form.

-----there were several hundred soldiers with weapons ready in their hands, clad in full suits of armor.

Without saying a word, these soldiers immediately charged toward Gu Qing Shan right after they manifested.

Gu Qing Shan readied his bow and rapidly fired so many arrows that the movement of his hands looked like blurred images.

The string of the bow boomed repeatedly like thunderclaps.

In an instant, the quiver behind Gu Qing Shan's back was emptied.

A rain of arrows drew parabola arcs as they shot toward the soldiers one after another.

Some of the soldiers managed to stop the arrows, but the majority of them accurately struck their targets without fail.

Any soldier struck by the arrows turned back into dust and vanished.

Gu Qing Shan uttered a curt 'ah' as he felt relieved.

"Although there are hundreds of men, none of them can exert their true abilities, unable to even use their Samsara Divine Skills…" he muttered to himself.

The Qilin coldly spoke: 「 Among the cultivators in the Human realm, you are not the only one renowned in weaponry. I will summon countless weapon experts of the Human realm to chop you into dirt and avenge the envoy of the wolf race 」

Gu Qing Shan had nothing to reply to that.

He drew his blade and leapt into the sky from his rock, jumping straight into the hundreds of soldiers.

Cold gleams of the blade flashed continuously.

Wherever he went, soldiers were reduced to dust and scattered without fail.

The soldiers' expressions remained unchanged, focused on nothing but surrounding Gu Qing Shan without giving him any space to dodge their killing blows.

The men acted like a tidal wave, their weapons as numerous as trees in a forest.

Being in the middle of this encirclement, a sharp glow flashed in Gu Qing Shan's eyes as his blade drew nine consecutive flowers of blades.

------Sword Art, Nine Linked Cities!

In an instant, the soldiers had all been eliminated.

"What blade technique is this?" one of the soldiers questioned in a heavy tone.

Gu Qing Shan didn't answer.

------he had just treated the blade as his sword and performed the highest level of sword technique that a mortal was capable of.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the Qilin chuckled and mocked: 「 The blade techniques of mortal can only claim supremacy for a lifetime while the punishment of heaven is unending, trying to go against the dignity of Heaven with mortality is nothing short of a path to perish 」

Following its words, hundreds, thousands of soldiers manifested from the dust storm once again.

These soldiers gathered together to form a military formation as they advanced towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan heaved a heavy sigh and spoke: "You are not the only one capable of summoning the dignity of heaven"

The lightning around his body gradually glowed brighter.

-----Wraith realm Divine Skill, [Lightning Wraith]!

A brilliant bolt of blue lightning broke through the layers of dust clouds and descended from the sky.

Boom!

Thunder echoed across heaven and earth.

A large number of soldiers in front of Gu Qing Shan were instantly wiped out by the bolt of lightning.

「 A Heavenly Tribulation!? 」

The Qilin's expression became cautious and shouted: 「 Wait a moment, are you a Chosen Saint of our Heaven realm? 」

Although it said that, the soldiers didn't even pause, still advancing while attacking Gu Qing Shan with everything they had.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled: "What if I am, and what if I'm not?"

The blade in his hand danced and cut open an empty path within the waves of soldiers.

While both sides were unable to use their original strength, none of these soldiers were a match for him.

The Qilin explained: 「 There are many Chosen Saints from our Heaven realm that had gotten lost, so if you are from the Heaven realm, hurry and return with me to see the heavenly beings, your wheel of meritorious service will be appraised in order to determine your position 」

Gu Qing Shan seemed surprised: "The Samsara had already reset, so all of us should be earning Merit, how can you already determine your positions so soon?"

The Qilin explained: 「 When the Samsara shattered in the past, the heavenly beings of Heaven realm had faked their deaths to avoid the Great Tribulation, so once the Samsara became one again, they simply had to awaken to return to their original positions 」

Gu Qing Shan swung his blade again.
