A huge demonic blade radiating an icy aura appeared behind Gu Qing Shan, attempting to attack the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
Clang!
Without turning around, Gu Qing Shan swung the Delimitation Divine Sword and sent it flying.
He then grasped the Delimitation Divine Sword tightly with both hands.
-Delimitation, [Void Dao]!
Hundreds of thousands of swords split off from one another, all rushing towards the sky and danced across it.
The flying swords and the sky full of Divine Artifacts clashed against one another to a temporary stalemate.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Demon Dragon.
Demon Dragon was now holding the Devil King Warden Rod in his hand with attention focused on the sea of Divine Artifacts in the sky.
“Why are you still here? Go! Bring everyone with you and leave the Huang Quan realm!” Gu Qing Shan urged him.
Demon Dragon hesitantly asked: “If all of us leave, what will you do next?”
The sword in Gu Qing Shan’s hand vibrated before splitting off into a few hundred other swords to join the air battle.
He then answered: “After the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and Forgetting River had both fled, I will destroy the Gates of Hell, then the Huang Quan realm itself”
Demon Dragon was speechless for a while before he managed to continue: “So your intentions were to destroy Huang Quan as a whole”
Gu Qing Shan flashed him a silent smirk, then muttered: “I’ll act as soon as you all leave, lest he gives chase—–”
“You’ll make him furious” Demon Dragon commented.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “He wants to destroy my sword, so I’ll destroy his Samsara, a fair trade”
“The Samsara is the ultimate weapon of all living beings” Demon Dragon tried countering.
“The ultimate weapon of all living beings?” Gu Qing Shan’s tone was growing increasingly calm, as if he was explaining something that he really didn’t care about.
“The Wraith realm is already gone, once I destroy the Huang Quan realm, I’ll destroy the other realms as well to make sure none of the Divine Artifacts can actually initiate a clash, there won’t be any Primary Artifacts; after every other Samsara realm has been destroyed, the only thing left for the Heavenly Emperor will be the Human realm. He and the rest of the Sequence Envoys can slowly enjoy themselves”
Demon Dragon suddenly chuckled: “You usually aren’t this brutal, how come you’re throwing even the Samsara away this time?”
-I’m actually not that powerful” Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “But to destroy is the easiest act to do, so I suppose I’ll manage somehow”
“- – -Then what about after that?” Demon Dragon asked.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and answered with a casual tone: “I’ll go around, slowly strengthen myself until one day in the future when I’m finally sure, I’ll come back and kill the previous Heavenly Emperor 10000 times”
“Why 10000 times?”
“Because he wanted to harm my sword”
Overwhelming killing intent surged from his body, but was summarily suppressed.
His expression didn’t show any sort of fluctuation.
–in just a few moments, he’s already made his plans clear.
In the sky, the numerous Divine Artifacts were trying to descend.
But the sword in Gu Qing Shan’s continued to split off into more swords, all clashing against those Divine Artifacts and making sure they weren’t able to approach the Thousand Layered Halls.
Not only that, those Divine Artifacts were already feeling a bit wary.
They’ve realized– – that each and every single flying sword here contained a Law capable of destroying all objects.
The longer they fought, the more damaged they would become.
– – -this was Delimitation’s [All Things Perish]!
Demon Dragon looked up at the sky and sighed: “In reality… the Heavenly Emperor had prepared insurance against this as well”
“Insurance?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
Demon Dragon took out a talisman from his chest and slowly unraveled it in front of Gu Qing Shan.
This was a purple talisman that radiated a thick purple fog, which manifested numerous supernatural phenomena as soon as it appeared.
Gu Qing Shan’s pupils become dilated as he hesitantly said: “Demon Dragon, you—
‘Yes, I’m the Heavenly Emperor’s minion” Demon Dragon replied.
The talisman in his hand suddenly erupted into a pillar of light before condensing into a figure that was over a dozen meters in height.
The figure spoke with a solemn voice:
r Huang Quan Deity, Leng Qian Chen, you’ve done well J
Demon Dragon knelt down on one Imee and respectfully spoke: “Your Majesty, the Devil King Warden Rod is now in my hands, the circumstances of Huang
Quan were all within your predictions— – I now beseech your presence!”
The figure chuckled, then spoke as it observed Gu Qing Shan: r Xie Dao Ling’s disciple, I’ve already thought of you quite highly, but I didn’t expect for you to actually force me to play my last card J
The Heavenly Emperor!
The previous Heavenly Emperor!
Gu Qing Shan silently observed the figure before finally speaking up: “You brought Leng Qian Chen under your service?”
r Of course, he is an individual of true ambition. He’s done many things, slowly turning Huang Quan as a whole into my possession- – he’s gone through quite the rigorous examination, but is proving to be a worthy ace in the hold J
As the Heavenly Emperor’s figure turned to Demon Dragon, he saw that he was still kneeling on one knee, his expression filled with respect and awe.
Noticing the Heavenly Emperor’s attention, Demon Dragon once again spoke with utter respect: “Your Majesty, please grace me with your presence and eradicate this trash in front of you!”
r Do you hate him? J the Heavenly Emperor’s figure asked.
“I do. He stole everything that was rightfully mine; all day and night, I hold nothing but killing intent towards him, as your majesty knows of how unfairly I lost to him” Demon Dragon answered.
Hm, I know… of course I do… J
A small sprite of light emerged from the Heavenly Emperor’s figure before silently hovering in front of Demon Dragon.
— -it was a small badge.
r This is your reward. It holds dominion over all the sealed Divine Artifacts of Huang Quan, it could even directly tap into the immense Origin Power of Huang Quan J the Heavenly Emperor’s figure explained.
Demon Dragon confusedly said: “My liege, this is—–”
The Heavenly Emperor’s figure laughed: r You hold the Devil King Warden Rod, granting you command over the dead; and now I grant you command over all Divine Artifacts, thus you are now the King of Huang Quan! J
The Demon Dragon was ecstatic and raised his voice: “Your Majesty!”
Such immense authority and reward caused him to feel so excited that he practically couldn’t say a word.
The Heavenly Emperor’s figure seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction and said: I currently have my hands busy and is temporarily unable to descend, so what you need to do now IS
“To kill my fated enemy!” Demon Dragon turned to Gu Qing Shan with a ferocious look in his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan simply stared straight back at him without saying a word.
The Heavenly Emperor’s figure said with a pleased tone: r Go ahead, you’ve consistently done very well up to this point, I trust that you will do this perfectly as well J
“Yes my liege!” Demon Dragon replied.
As he grasped the badge tightly, he quickly understood how to operate it.
“Heed my order——–“
Demon Dragon invoked the badge’s power.
The numerous Divine Artifacts in the sky immediately ceased their attacks.
Gu Qing Shan continued to silently eye him.
Demon Dragon invoked the badge’s power again and shouted loudly: “Retreat from the Artifact Clash immediately, any violators will be instantly shattered!”
In that instant, all the Divine Artifacts gave off a noise to express their unwillingness.
But it could be helped, as they were all under the badge’s dominion, their form and spirit would instantly be erased if they tried to resist its order.
The Divine Artifacts had no choice but to retreat from the Clash.
A few lines of bloody red text suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes :
[All Divine Artifacts had retreated from the Clash]
[No Divine Artifact was able to become the Huang Quan Primary Artifact] [This Artifact Clash has ended]
[Attention, the Miracle that restrained the Six Paths Great Mountain sword is about to disappear, its artifact spirit is awakening]
Gu Qing Shan looked at Demon Dragon in shock.
In the sky, the Heavenly Emperor’s figure also roared furiously: r Leng Qian Chen, do you have any idea what you’re doing!? J
Demon Dragon displayed a look of nostalgia before speaking: “I was a spy during my previous life… a very successful one too, but I couldn’t even accomplish a single one of my own goals, only working for the sake of others… I no longer want anyone else to control mv will”
He looked up at the Heavenly Emperor’s figure and casually continued: “So what god damned right do you have to give me orders?”
The Heavenly Emperor’s figure immediately regained its composure and declared in a low tone: The numerous lock seals placed upon your body will soon eradicate your very existence, that is the conse J
Shuu!
A dull noise.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword that was in Gu Qing Shan’s hand had just pierced into Demon Dragon’s body.
“Shannu!” he shouted.
“Understood, gongzi!” Shannu responded.
-this time, Shannu’s voice has returned to normal.
She had finally escaped her restraints!
With a slight tremble, numerous runes were expelled from Demon Dragon’s body before shattering into nothing.
[Law Breaker]!
Several lines of bloody red text popped up:
[The numerous lock seals affecting Demon Dragon has been destroyed]
[Only 3 types of unknown powers remained, only after Demon Dragon’s death would they disappear]
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan had decided on a solution and acted on it.
The sword in Demon Dragon’s chest was violently twisted.
“Don’t resist, die!”
He shouted to Demon Dragon.
Being as sharp as he was, Demon Dragon instantly dropped dead.
Everything is over after death.
The hidden measures were surely placed there to eliminate Demon Dragon, but once he died, they naturally had no effects.
Gu Qing Shan then put his hands together into a praying pose, manifesting a solemn dark sun behind him.
“[Divine Guidance]!”
He immediately activated his Death God Divine Skill- [Divine Guidance].
Demon Dragon was swiftly guided to Huang Quan, turned into a dead person, then opened his eyes again.
“Finally free” Demon Dragon sighed.
He grabbed the purple talisman and ripped it apart with his hands.
The talisman were torn to shreds, which were then thrown into the sky to fade away with the wind.
The Heavenly Emperor’s figure immediately became dim.
I’ll let you live for a few more days, once I… finish… over here… J
Before he finished his words, the figure had already faded away.
Demon Dragon tossed the Devil King Warden Rod back to Gu Qing Shan.
“I’m returning it—— you’re a fine Devil King”
Demon Dragon said.
Gu Qing Shan caught the Devil King Warden Rod and chuckled: “You keep it, the Devil King holds dominion over all dead beings; you’re a dead person now, but you don’t like being ordered around, so just be king”
He tossed the Devil King Warden Rod back.
Demon Dragon replied: “Even if you’re the Devil King, it’s not like you dare to order me around”
He tossed the Devil King Warden Rod back to Gu Qing Shan again.
“Of course I won’t, but just keep the scepter. After all, you died once because of this, I feel guilty towards your wife, you can tell her that the scepter if your pay for helping out”
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan tossed the Devil King Warden Rod to Demon Dragon again.
“My pay? I guess that’s a reasonable explanation, considering how long I stayed on that side…”
“Wait, damn it! If you say it like that, I was a spy again”
“Don’t think too much about it, just think that you were doing a different job instead”
“What i Ah?”
“Actor”
“Hm, make sense”
“Feel better now?”
“A lot better”
“The scepter… take it”
“I have a child, what do you have? Seeing how you only have that skull scepter to your name, keep it”
