Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Around the altar.

The Wraiths were conducting their summoning ritual once again.

The Wraith realm Ruler spoke with a stern voice:

「 With the dragon race's aid, I shall offer the treasures accumulated by the Wraith realm over the countless years to conduct this summoning 」

His hands were also continuously shifting into various hand seals as he grunted: 「 Life Hex Offering! 」

From behind the Wraith temple's main hall, hundreds and thousands of treasures flew out by themselves and became assimilated with the altar.

All of these were rare treasures even within the Samsara, each of them possessing miraculous abilities and functions, but they'd all been sacrificed by the Wraith realm Ruler for the ritual.

A second later.

A burst of red light exploded from the top of the altar.

Rays of red light shot into the sky one after another, manifesting into a long summoning runic scripture in the air.

The silver dragon woman looked at the runic scripture and exclaimed: "The Summoning Mystery Script! This is a supernatural phenomenon that can only manifest when the summoning power has been condensed to an extreme"

Another dragon with a tall muscular build spoke: "How very rare------ so be it, since we are already here, let's give him a hand"

The dragons nodded in agreement.

They all then slowly stepped forward to surround the altar and began chanting an incantation.

Clusters of light then emerged from their bodies to form a rainbow-colored ray of light that slowly entered the summoning runic scripture as well.

As if it had received support, the invisible fluctuations suddenly emanated an explosively into the depths of the Boundless Void.

Seeing that, the Wraith realm Ruler became ecstatic and began to chant the incantation more rapidly.

At some point, he abruptly uttered as if he sensed something: 「 We here sacrifice all of our offerings, for the continuation of living beings, in search for the power to cooperatively venture forth------ 」

In the sky, all the invisible fluctuations vanished and were instead replaced by a radiant solemn divine light that filled every corner of this world.

Boom!

All the runes in the sky once again condensed into a red streak that descended onto the altar, which then manifested into a summoning gate.

After a few moments.

A ringing voice echoed from within the gates:

「 I, from the edge of the Boundless Void, hereby arrive at your call 」

The Wraith realm Ruler was surprised.

He was a bit hesitant, so he turned to the dragons.

The dragons had already gathered and all of them appeared very excited.

The silver dragon woman turned towards the Wraith realm Ruler and mouthed without making a sound:

[----not a deficit this time]

The Wraith realm Ruler became more assured right away.

He then drew a mystical rune in the air using his finger and uttered:

「 The summon is established! 」

Bam!

The crimson gates swiftly swung open.

A sword glowing with a golden jade texture flew out from the gates, circled a few times around the Wraith realm Ruler, then silently hovered in front of him.

The Wraith realm Ruler observed the sword, then hesitantly said: 「 Tomorrow will be our decisive battle against the Apocalypse, your power------ 」

Before he finished his words, the sword abruptly erupted with an intense sword will.

Strong gusts of wind blew in every direction.

The wind howled with an almost harrowing tone.

The altar, the hall, the palace, and the statues-------

All the surrounding structures were swept away like dust on the ground and blown away in a similar manner.

The ground was as reflective as a mirror surface.

This whole vast area was the same.

But not a single hair was hurt on anyone's body.

"So strong…" the silver dragon woman muttered blankly.

"It truly is rare to see such a weapon" another dragon commented.

While observing this sword from a distance, Gu Qing Shan could sense the presence it gave off and said with a heavy tone of voice: "What do you have to say to me?"

A golden jade-textured sword appeared from the void of space next to him.

The Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword.

Turned out it was the exact sword that the Wraith realm Ruler had summoned from the Boundless Void!

But if it was originally a sword from the Boundless Void, how did it become the 'Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword'?

What exactly happened?

The sword sighed, but still tried to convince him: 「 You still have one last chance to leave, I can still bring you away with me right this instant 」

"What exactly are you afraid of?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 I merely feel that this is already history so there's no need to relive it again, but it's probably too late now 」the sword answered.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze back to the summoning area.

The ritual has concluded, and the Wraith realm Ruler wielded the sword in his right hand as he bid farewell to the dragons.

Once all the dragons had left, the Wraith realm Ruler turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

「 After I received this divine sword, what did you think happened next? 」the Wraith realm Ruler asked.

"You killed all your enemies, settled the Apocalypse, and took the position of Heavenly Emperor" Gu Qing Shan calmly answered.

The Wraith realm Ruler looked straight at him without saying a word for a long while.

「 Ahahahahaha! 」

He abruptly burst out into maniacal laughter and wailed sorrowfully: 「 Of course, that's what I wanted to do as well, but unfortunately, life doesn't always play out the way one wishes and fate is a tease! 」

「 Come, witness the events of that decisive battle with me------ you should learn of the secrets of that day 」

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Secrets are the most precious thing within the Boundless Void, what's the price I have to pay for learning them?"

The Wraith realm Ruler suddenly stopped laughing and stared straight at him with a cold gaze.

「 The price? The price is that you will die 」

He gave Gu Qing Shan a gaze filled with malice and swiftly formed a set of hand seals with both hands.

The scenery around them started changing.

It was now daytime.

The Wraith realm Ruler was wielding the divine sword in his right hand while leading a seemingly endless army, preparing to march towards the decisive battle.

The Delimitation Divine Sword sighed and muttered: 「 There is nothing else to say----- since you refused to listen to my warnings and insisted on watching the events of the past, you will soon face the same circumstances 」

Gu Qing Shan became cautious and started looking around himself.

Nothing was happening at all.

The sword continued: 「 Your wits are far above that of a normal person, so once you witness anything, I assume that misfortune will swiftly descend 」

-----but still nothing happened.

Not only did nothing happen at all, even the scenery and time around them seemed to have been frozen.

The Wraith realm's army was frozen in place.

Time itself had stopped.

The Wraith realm Ruler had also become petrified.

"Huh? Why did time stop?" Gu Qing Shan muttered in surprise.

The Wraith realm Ruler seemed to be exerting all of his strength to form his hand seals, but couldn't complete it no matter what.

The only part of the body he could move were his eyes, which displayed clear confusion.

The Delimitation Divine Sword suddenly took flight by itself and circled around the frozen illusion before returning to Gu Qing Shan.

「 How strange, why can't he display the secret to your eyes? 」

The sword was also confused.

And Gu Qing Shan was naturally clueless as well.

Lines of bloody red text then started appearing in the void of space:

[In the past, the Wraith realm Ruler had formed an alliance with the dragon race]

[The dragon race had enforced an extremely strict Causality Skill on him that made it permanently impossible for him to perform any act that would cause direct harm to a dragon]

[-----Your body is that of a dragon]

[For that reason, his Divine Skill: Exhausted Life Reincarnation had been halted at this moment, unable to proceed any further]

[You are safe]

So that was the case.

It's because I'm a dragon that the Wraith realm Ruler had to stop.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and walked up to the Wraith realm Ruler as he said: "So it turns out you were an ally of us dragons, if I knew that beforehand, I wouldn't have tried to mess with you in the first place"

The Wraith realm Ruler stared at Gu Qing Shan with a stiff expression, but was still unable to move his body at all.

Gu Qing Shan asked the divine sword: "Where is your sword hilt?"

「 Inside his sleeves 」the Delimitation Divine Sword replied.

Gu Qing Shan reached into the Wraith realm Ruler's sleeves and pulled out a heavy and cold sword hilt made of jade.

He handed the sword hilt to the Delimitation Divine Sword.
