Chapter 880: Please Show Yourself

In the sky.

Both Abyssal monsters were still charging towards the Indestructible Giant.

They weren’t unleashing their most powerful attacks, merely staying cautious of the other while throwing a half-hearted attack.

At the same time, the Indestructible Giant with his overwhelming fighting spirit raised his sword and unleashed a downward strike towards them that gave off an intense sacrificial aura.

This strike was lightning fast, to the point that even the tip of the sword couldn’t be seen any more while it was still halfway down.

Wait a minute.

It actually couldn’t be seen anymore!

While maintaining caution towards the Abyssal Demon Dragon, the Soul Shrieker retreated.

Seeing it retreating, the Abyssal Demon Dragon also swiftly took distance.

Both of these terrifying monsters exchanged surprised looks.

What kind of situation is this?

Almost immediately, something even more shocking happened.

The Indestructible Giant vanished!

The Soul Shrieker glanced a bit at where the Indestructible Giant disappeared, contemplated briefly, and slowly understood.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon scoffed: 「 What an impressive ability, to be able to hide himself into the void of space 」

『「 Impressive my ass! 』」

The Soul Shrieker looked at the Abyssal Demon Dragon like it was looking at an idiot and explained, 『「 He ran away! 』」

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan used what little time he had left to take out the Bramble Saint Tree seed.

He put the seed on the Heaven sword and immediately used [Chaotic Flow].

His Soul Points value plummeted.

Oom!!!

A sky-high Bramble Saint Tree appeared right in front of him.

The great tree gave off an intense solid sense of pressure that had far surpassed the Indestructible Giant’s own power!

In an instant, a seed had skipped through the long years of growth to immediately become an ancient great tree, it was nothing short of a divine miracle.

This caused Gu Qing Shan to just stare blankly.

He muttered: “Now I know why this ability can only be used once every 10 days”

Otherwise, he would be nothing short of a God.

“Gongzi”

Shannu appeared behind him and called out.

She was carrying Little Dusk.

“Hm, that’s enough” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The Bramble Saint Tree, the Angle of Condemnation, and the Demon King of Order.

And…

Gu Qing Shan searched with his inner sight to quickly find the three coins sitting inside his Inventory Bag.

Right now, he was able to use the power of the coins and escape from this era at any moment.

“Gongzi, let’s hurry and leave” Shannu urged him.

Gu Qing Shan mused briefly and glanced at the void of space.

A line of blood-red text was floating in front of his eyes.

[Please quickly unleash the Demon King Black Flag to face the enemy!]

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the transparent black flag on the UI.

As long as I allow it to, this flag would manifest on the battlefield.

So what is there to hesitate about?

Gu Qing Shan was still thinking as he asked: “What would happen after I unleash the flag?”

The [Demon King Order] swiftly answered: [The Demon King will arrive and save this world]

“What about me?”

[You will obtain the help of the Demon King to gradually grow into the Demon King of Condemnation of the same level]

Gu Qing Shan paused.

He had never fully trusted the [Demon King Order], not even once.

He didn’t know how true this statement was, but he saw with his own eyes how the [Order] killed someone unnecessary without hesitation.

But if I don’t unleash the Demon King Black Flag, I wouldn’t know for sure what would happen, nor would I find out exactly what kind of secret was hiding behind the [Demon King Order].

Just what is the Demon King?

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan purposely asked: “What if I don’t unleash the black flag now?”

The [Demon King Order]’s voice became cold and ruthless: [If you won’t unleash the Demon King, then the Order will ignore your decision and unleash the Demon King myself!]

[Everything had been decided]

[This will be the preliminary summon that will sweep through all worlds!]

Gu Qing Shan cut in: “Then when can you awaken the other [Orders]?”

The [Order] replied: [When the Demon King Order accomplish total domination over every world, maybe then can the other Orders be awoken]

After answering, lines of text appeared on the blood-red UI.

[The Demon King Black Flag is ready]

[Preparing to unleash Black Flag]

[Extracting Soul Points]

[Release!]

The [Demon King Order] had actually disregarded Gu Qing Shan and took direct control of the UI!

Turns out that it had its own plans, so regardless of whether Gu Qing Shan agreed to it or not, it would still accomplish its goal!

All the blood-red text disappeared.

Silence.

Nothing happened at all.

Two more lines of text appeared on the UI.

[Insufficient Soul Points]

[Unable to actuate the Demon King Black Flag summoning ritual]

Not enough Soul Points?

I massacred the entire Desolate race, how could there not be enough Soul Points?

Gu Qing Shan looked at his Soul Points in surprise.

[Remaining Soul Points: 1]

Why is there only 1 Soul Point left?

Even without taking the amount earned from killing the Desolate monsters, I should have at least 2 or 3 million Soul Points left!

Realizing something, Gu Qing Shan turned his eyes towards the icon that existed independent of the Soul Artifact.

[War God Skills]

Sure enough, lines of glowing text had appeared next to the icon for [War God Skills].

[When you killed the Desolate monsters, you had transformed into the Indestructible Giant whose strength far surpassed the Desolate race, so you did not obtain their Soul Points. The remaining Soul Points are here, check it for yourself]

Gu Qing Shan quickly checked.

There was one more line of text next to the [War God Skills] icon:

[Original remaining Soul Points: 3,975,279/500]

So [War God Skills] had already transferred all of my Soul Points over!

At this crucial moment, [War God Skills] extracted all of my Soul Points to stop the Soul Artifact!!!

Gu Qing Shan was completely speechless at this.

A single function that only evolved three times was enough to stop the Soul Artifact’s entire plan, I really can’t imagine what exactly is the War God UI.

“Thanks for your help” Gu Qing Shan said.

The icon jumped and displayed another line of glowing text:

[Run away quickly, you are no match for those two monsters]

A single statement managed to cause Gu Qing Shan to feel warm inside.

He looked up at the sky.

…

A few moments prior.

The two terrifying Abyssal monsters still didn’t pay any attention to the insignificant ant that was Gu Qing Shan and were staying wary of one another.

The giant ran away again just now.

Not only did he run away, but he was also nowhere to be seen at all.

Then, should we continue to fight again or not?

While the two terrifying monsters were hesitating, they saw the Bramble Saint Tree abruptly manifesting below.

As they glanced over again, they noticed Little Dusk being carried by Shannu and Gu Qing Shan with the twin swords in his hands.

The Soul Shrieker shouted in shock: 「『 The Bramble Great Tree, the Angel of Condemnation and the highly-evolved brutal [Order] of the humans, not good, he wants to run away! 」』

The Soul Shrieker couldn’t afford to pay any more attention to the Abyssal Demon Dragon and headed straight for Gu Qing Shan.

When the Abyssal Demon Dragon saw that the other party was about to chase after the Heaven sword while ignoring all their rules, he couldn’t remain patient any longer and immediately chased after it.

It was at this moment that [War God Skills] displayed the glowing line of text telling Gu Qing Shan to quickly escape.

“Gongzi, hurry, we have to go!”

Shannu also urged him in a hurry.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the two terrifying Abyssal monsters and slowly told her: “I’ve finally learnt a bit about the [Demon King Order]’s characteristics, but there’s still something I need to do here, no need to be in a hurry”

Shannu froze.

Gongzi is still saying that he had something to do in this situation of certain death?

The Soul Shrieker was already about to reach them.

It was a few dozen feet away from touching Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted: “Adorable!”

A jade gourd pendant appeared from the void of space and loudly replied:

Xiu xiu xiu xiu, xiu xiu xiu!

(Your technique was awesome, let me borrow it for a bit!)

Golden rays of light came out from Gu Qing Shan’s body.

The golden light swiftly converged to form a golden string that silently attached itself to the Soul Shrieker’s body.

The other end of the string fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

[Earthen Dual Body]!

The last time Gu Qing Shan unleashed this ability, the jade gourd Adorable had done as previously discussed, temporarily chose Gu Qing Shan as the target, and ‘took’ this ability!

The Soul Shrieker then suddenly turned around in the air, grabbed a 7-colored spear out of thin air, and threw it straight at the Abyssal Demon Dragon chasing after it.

This was an ambush without any warnings!

Roar!!

The Abyssal Demon Dragon roared out in pain, then attacked the Soul Shrieker with all its strength.

The Soul Shrieker completely ignored his attacks and let the ashen grey flames burn its body.

It was trembling nonstop as if it was trying to struggle against something.

But it was useless.

This was the power of the Earth Creator!

Under Gu Qing Shan’s control, the Soul Shrieker recalled the 7-colored spear that it had thrown out, wielded it tightly, and thrust it into the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s body again and again.

Since it was originally stronger than the Abyssal Demon Dragon, now that it was using this mutually destructive way of fighting, it soon managed to pierce the Demon Dragon’s heart.

But Gu Qing Shan controlled it to continue stabbing the Demon Dragon.

The void of space between the two terrifying Abyssal monsters was boiling.

Their battle caused the heaven and earth to tremble and crack, the shockwaves of their attacks kicked up intense winds that formed sandstorms and tornadoes that reached all the way to the sky.

Their roars resounded across the entire world, causing even Gu Qing Shan’s eyes to rumble.

But he didn’t hold back at all and continued to use the Soul Shrieker to attack the Abyssal Demon Dragon without any regard for its own life.

Since they were both Abyssal monsters, they can’t be killed, the most he could do was inflict heavy damage that wouldn’t heal easily to both of them and prolong their recuperation period as long as possible.

Finally, with a weak moan, the Abyssal Demon Dragon fell from the sky.

The Soul Shrieker descended after him, wielded the 7-colored spear to lop off the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s head, and dice it into mush.

『「 Detestable! So you were—– 』」while dicing the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s head, the Soul Shrieker stared closely at Gu Qing Shan with a begrudging glare and spoke.

But it couldn’t finish its words.

Gu Qing Shan had controlled it to stab the 7-colored spear from its neck through the top of its head.

This was a critical attack.

The Soul Shrieker’s throat and head were completely pierced through by the 7-colored spear, making it so that the entity could only utter incomprehensible noises.

The Soul Shrieker trembled forward a few steps, dropped down to its knees, and died.

Even now, its hands were still tightly clutching the 7-colored spear, as if it wasn’t willing to part with this weapon.

The world returned to silence.

Shannu was stunned.

Luo Bing Li emerged from the Heaven sword, looked at the corpses of the two Abyssal monsters, sighed, and looked at Gu Qing Shan with a complicated expression.

The Earth sword hovered next to Gu Qing Shan, silently watching over him.

The gourd exhaustedly landed on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

Everything seemed to be over.

When Shannu and Luo Bing Li were about to say something, Gu Qing Shan put his hand up to stop them.

Ever since the battle with the Abyssal Fate Weaver, there had been a lot of suspicious points.

Many of the tactics he came up with became useless.

At the beginning of this battle, the anti-abyss barrier of the Primordial Heaven Realm was broken.

The Soul Shrieker that couldn’t remain for too long in this world could now remain without a time limit.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver had a perfect grasp of Gu Qing Shan’s every thought and emotion.

The Demon Dragon had been patient enough to feign death for countless years, dealt with the Abyssal Fate Weaver without changing its expression, and even deceived the Abyssal Jail’s AI system.

Yet events seemed to have developed in the worst possible direction for all three of these entities while moving in the most beneficial direction for Gu Qing Shan until the very end.

Was all of it really just ‘luck’?

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

He knew that there was only a single entity who could achieve all of this without being noticed by anyone or anything.

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist towards the void of space, bowed, and spoke: “O’ great and venerable one, please show yourself”
