Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Lightning descended upon the earth like intense rain.

The ground shook intensely, completely baptized by the Tribulation Lightning.

The projection of Huang Quan was struck by hundreds of bolts of Tribulation Lightning, unable to manifest itself any longer, it quickly vanished from the current world and gradually faded into the void of space.

Only the Qilin remained, still enduring the onslaught of Tribulation Lightning.

It constantly moved around, sometimes barely managing to avoid a bolt of lightning, other times struck by several bolts at once. Unable to endure for too long, it had no choice but to roar towards the sky.

「 Battle maniacs of the Samsara, Asura of wickedness, heed the call of Heaven and come to my aid! 」

The Qilin called out.

A transparent figure quickly manifested while descending from above.

It was a man clad in a full suit of armor while wielding a halberd.

The man exuded ferocious fighting spirit as he manifested, laughing heartily: 「 I'm always ready for a good fight! 」

Clank------

He paused in front of the Qilin, then took a careful look at Gu Qing Shan before gazing at the Tribulation Lightning in the sky.

「 This is Tribulation Lighting… in other words… 」

The man suddenly turned around and complained with an irritated tone to the Qilin: 「 What the hell? Why did you summon us Asura for an internal conflict of the Heaven realm------ in the end, you guys will just make peace and it's we Asuras who are left with a bad name 」

「 Can't even enjoy the fight properly this way! 」

The man angrily stormed off into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

The Qilin was stunned.

Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms and chuckled: "This Asura is quite interesting"

Just now when the Asura saw the Heavenly Tribulation, he thought that this was an internal conflict of the Heaven realm.

Although the Asura are battle maniacs, they're not idiots. They know that there are some things they can't participate in.

-----this was like someone from outside barging into a fight between family members, if they came to mediate things, no one would blame them for anything.

But if the outsider came in to help adding fuel to the fire, once the family members have made up, they would instead hold a grudge against the outsider for not holding back.

This Asura is probably an expert fighter in more than one sense of the word.

After noticing what was going on, he immediately made the decision to not get involved in this sticky mess and backed off.

Then-----

This is still one-on-one.

Gu Qing Shan took his bow out again, preparing to grab an arrow, but then noticed that the bowstring was already about to snap.

This bow was only a mortal weapon.

The fact that it managed to withstand Gu Qing Shan's use for so long without breaking was already quite the feat.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and took out his blade again.

-----no choice but to engage in melee.

Treading through the dust storm, he made his way towards the Qilin.

"I've never thought that I would be fighting against a Qilin----- and even killing it" he said.

The Qilin lowered its body while growling in a low voice, seemingly preparing itself to pounce.

「 Laughable fool, do you really think you can kill me on your own? 」

"Of course, now that everyone's strength is sealed, it's exactly the right opportunity to kill you"

Gu Qing Shan gradually accelerated, the arcs of lightning around his body continuously crackling.

Turning into a bolt of lightning, he vanished on the spot.

[Lightning Wraith]!

In an instant, numerous clanging chimes resounded from the Qilin's body.

Wrreeeee------

A thunderous howl of pain escaped from the Qilin's mouth.

The bolt of lightning retreated a few dozen meters away, once again turning back into Gu Qing Shan.

"…What tough skin"

He muttered.

He was still wielding the blade, but the cutting edge was already full of bumps.

Although the Qilin's strength had been sealed, it was still a Divine Beast of the Heaven realm, so it wouldn't be harmed by a piece of normal metal.

「 You are no match for me, you can't even hurt me 」

The Qilin mocked.

Bang!!!

A bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended from far above and struck its body like a cannonball.

As time went by, this simple bolt of Tribulation Lightning had gotten stronger by several times, so it literally blew the Qilin away.

Gu Qing Shan put both his bow and blade away, casually speaking: "Since everyone's strength is currently sealed, you and I can only use our Samsara Divine Skills to fight, but your Samsara Divine Skill seemed to be of no use"

The Qilin got back on its feet while keeping a close eye on him.

-----this guy is even harder to deal with than I had thought.

Gu Qing Shan was also keeping a close eye on the Qilin, silently trying to predict its next move.

In the battle up to this point, it has summoned beings from the Human realm, Huang Quan realm, and Asura realm to help it in battle.

There's nobody in the Wraith realm.

Then, its Divine Skill could only summon those from the Beast King realm and Heaven realm now?

-----no, since it directly manifested from the wolf old man's severed head, perhaps it's already used up this kind of summoning power?

Otherwise, how could it have manifested from a severed head?

Or maybe… this Qilin has some other unknown techniques?

It definitely doesn't!

Li An had already explained how she was a special case among the Chosen Saints, having gambled the survival of the entire Tianma race in order to retain more power than normal.

This Qilin isn't a unique existence like the Tianma race, so it shouldn't possess as many abilities.

------it should be the same as the other Chosen Saints, only capable of wielding a single Samsara Divine Skill.

From what I know so far, during this period after the Samsara's reset, Samsara Divine Skills can continuously evolve and be upgraded.

Even the five-headed monster had said something similar:

…

「 A Samsara Divine Skill? How regretful that it's such a low level that it can't even tickle me 」

…

Additionally, [Mountain Wraith] had also evolved into [Lightning Wraith].

------a lot of factors had all but confirmed my conjectures.

Which means, the Qilin should only have a single Samsara Divine Skill, which it can use to summon Combatants from each various Samsara realm to help it fight.

Just like how it summoned the Asura, it should be able to summon the wolf old man under normal circumstances.

But it had now instead manifested from the wolf old man's body.

This can be considered a form of reverse summoning.

-----it had already expended its chance to summon a supporter from the Beast King realm!

Among the six realms, it can no longer summon from the Human realm, Huang Quan realm, Asura realm, Beast King realm, and Wraith realm.

The only realm remaining that the Qilin can summon from is the Heaven realm.

But it still hasn't attempted this.

In that case, perhaps the reverse summoning was most likely considered summoning a Heaven realm entity – itself.

That's why it hasn't attempted to summon any other helpers, it already used up its Divine Skill!

Feeling assured, Gu Qing Shan drew his blade away.

"Again!"

He shouted, the arcs of lightning around his body once again started crackling.

------if I want to kill it, this is exactly my best chance!

Seeing how Gu Qing Shan was full of killing intent, the Qilin turned its gaze towards the condensing Tribulation Lightning in the sky once again, the look on its face gradually changing.
