Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The Wraith realm's shelter.

The entrance.

The legions of heavenly beings were still standing in formation at the entrance of the shelter, patiently waiting for Gu Qing Shan to exit the shelter.

If one took a closer look, one would find that all of them had anxious expressions on their faces.

-----the money that they were carrying had all disappeared without a single warning or sound.

No one would remain completely calm if something like that happened to them.

Not too far away from where the heavenly beings were stationed, a layer of unique frosty mist remained.

This was a technique that Shroud had left behind, specifically made to obscure one's whereabouts.

Right at this moment.

Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling arrived.

They were standing within the cover of the frosty mist, both turning their attention towards the amalgamation monster.

"Where did this monster come from?" Xie Dao Ling asked.

--------the monster was still frozen within a layer of ice and pinned to the wall with a large icicle spear, immobilizing it.

"It's the amalgamation of void monsters who noticed the supernatural phenomena that occurred when the Beast King realm was initially fused together. They originally came to plunder the treasures of the Samsara, but instead became trapped and had no other choice but to fuse together like this to save their lives" Gu Qing Shan explained.

"Strange…"

Xie Dao Ling muttered and fell into thought as she observed the monster closely.

"Is there something wrong?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"The main Five Elements are currently in disarray mostly due to its existence, so as long as it is killed, the main Five Elements would instantly become established" Xie Dao Ling replied.

"That's true, but acting against it now would alert the heavenly beings outside" Gu Qing Shan explained.

"No, that's not where the problem lies" Xie Dao Ling shook her head.

She approached the monster and took out the jade orb from before, her hands quickly forming various seals.

"By the Laws of Reality, manifest!"

Xie Dao Ling grandly declared.

Zi zi----

With a tiny noise, a piece of ice the size of a finger fell off the monster's body.

As soon as the piece of ice fell off, it began to shake and rapidly transformed into a silver beetle.

Xie Dao Ling quickly shielded Gu Qing Shan behind her, then manifested a light in her hand that she quickly used to draw a beautiful talisman.

"Wind and rain suppress, lightning seals!"

The talisman manifested into a bolt of lightning that struck the silver beetle.

In an instant, the silver beetle vanished. At the same time, a crackling talisman began to drift backwards and hover in front of Xie Dao Ling.

As Xie Dao Ling caught the talisman, it was clear that the talisman now contained patterns depicting the beetle.

"This void monster was a complete moron, being sowed with a Gu insect that can take its life at any moment and not recognizing it at all" Xie Dao Ling commented.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked and asked: "This monster is so powerful, who exactly was it that could sow such an insect on its body without it noticing?"

"Within the Samsara, the foremost expert of Gu insects was the Heavenly Emperor" Xie Dao Ling replied.

Gu Qing Shan remained silent for a bit before commenting: "So the one who came here previously and taught it how to arrange the deathtrap for me was the Heavenly Emperor"

"Indeed, he is one who always thinks far before he acts"

"But why didn't he kill this monster? He could have obtained a great deal of Merit by killing it"

Xie Dao Ling sneered and explained: "Because he is the Heavenly Emperor----- even after the Samsara had reset, he still holds a great deal of priority that would allow him to enter the next phase before any of the other Chosen Saints. For that reason, he would rather prolong the reset progress as a whole"

"I see, so he doesn't want the Human realm to be stabilized------- in other words, he's actually preventing all the other Chosen Saints from obtaining power and regaining their previous strength!" Gu Qing Shan realized.

"Exactly… in fact, the reason why your powers have not been unsealed even a little bit was due to him abusing the Laws of the Samsara, and since he was originally the Heavenly Emperor, he has already gone ahead and left everyone else far behind" Xie Dao Ling confirmed his conjectures.

"What an impressive fellow indeed" Gu Qing Shan sighed.

-------and I entered the Samsara later than everyone else, I wonder if I can still catch up to the Heavenly Emperor now.

Xie Dao Ling was still closely observing the talisman when she suddenly appeared shocked.

She then pressed her hand against Gu Qing Shan's body.

"Not good, he has already realized what happened, you need to enter the Wraith realm's shelter, now!" she quickly said.

"Hold on----- Shifu-------"

Before Gu Qing Shan could finish his words, she had already pushed him, turning him into a ray of light that flew past all the heavenly beings and into the shelter's entrance in the middle of all the starlight.

As soon as he was gone, a long sigh was heard:

"This Emperor had personally come here to arrest and kill Gu Qing Shan, but you let him go"

Xie Dao Ling calmly replied: "He is my present life's disciple, so how could I let you murder him?"

Fwoom--------

The entire mist of frost was dispersed.

A figure appeared from above, who lightly landed on top of the monster's head.

The heavenly beings were immediately alerted of his presence and turned their attention to this side.

"It's his majesty!"

"Long live his majesty!"

"Long live his majesty!"

The heavenly beings all declared in unison.

The figure was standing in the middle of the chilling air, so they were actually being obscured.

He spoke: "Xie Dao Ling, you currently are nothing but a fragment of a soul, how do you intend to stop me? Stay your hand and don't be a hindrance"

Xie Dao Ling narrowed her eyes: "You are injured…"

"I'm still more than a match for you" the Heavenly Emperor casually replied.

Xie Dao Ling turned her hand and held the jade orb in her hand.

"I fell into your trap in the past because I wanted to save the Samsara, but now that I have an object to manifest the Laws, you might want to take another guess at which of us would be the winner this time around"

Right after saying that, she had already reached out her other hand.

Ten rays of distinct light appeared on her hand, which respectively represented the main and mutated Five Elements, manifested from the Samsara's Origin.

This hand moved as rapidly as a shadow in the dark, which formed a seal-------

Ten Realms Saint Art, [Absolute Sword of Nine Heavens]

The technique was completed!

In an instant, ten distinct rays of light began to ascend before they manifested into a black sword in the middle of the air.

As soon as the sword came into existence, the world itself seemed to have been frozen as well.
