Chapter 1270: Appeared!

The sound of explosions continuously resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The strong howling wind did not stop for even a second.

Even with the obscuring black fog, the residual power of the battle still continuously spread in every direction causing everyone’s hearts to quicken.

Gu Qing Shan looked at Shan Hai Qi Xia and asked: “What kind of Apocalypse is this?”

Shan Hai Qi Xia replied: “According to your description, it should be Unlivable rank, but in consideration of this being just an illusion, both its power and destructiveness should have greatly decreased, so I assume that it should be the second level, Unsolvable rank”

“Unsolvable rank…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Unsolvable.

Humanity is helpless to fight it.

The only solution is to try and search for even the smallest hope of survival.

Shan Hai Qi Xia glanced at him, then said: “Fortunately, you managed to deceive the Beast King God into entering that black fog——- it had witnessed even more Apocalypses compared to our Tomb of Myriad Beasts, so it and its subordinates should be able to hold off an Unsolvable Apocalypse and buy us quite a bit of time”

“However, I’m concerned about whether they’re stronger, or this Unsolvable Apocalypse is stronger”

Just as Gu Qing Shan said this, he fell silent.

A crimson shade of light gradually manifested from within the depths of the black fog.

Crimson, orange, light red, hazy yellow, bright yellow——- the colors grew increasingly intense until it eventually pierced through the black fog altogether.

A sharp howl resounded from deep within the black fog:

『 All shall fade within the flames of destruction! 』

In the snowy wind, countless balls of fire shot through the black fog in every direction.

A rain of flames.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became focused.

He could sense individual malice emanating from each of these balls of fire.

The Beast King God’s side would surely fight the Apocalypse for their own self-defense, but they would definitely not worry about the protection of this city.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to quickly observe the entire city.

Although the sound of alarms had been constantly ringing, it was currently in the middle of the night, and the entire city couldn’t possibly mount an effective line of defense in such a short time.

Boom!

A ball of fire landed in the middle of the city’s main street, forming a deep crater as it did.

Very quickly, a crimson monster climbed out from inside.

It was made from mixed masses of bones, a scorching crimson flame emanating from its body, every step it took left a mark of molten lava on the ground.

Such monsters began to fill the entire city.

Standing at the window, Shan Hai Qi Xia observed her surroundings and said:

“How troublesome, a fire-type attack. The city might have already been plunged into a sea of flames before it could react”

“That’s true. Most of the Professionists in this world are traditional knights and mages, it would most likely require quite a bit of time for them to organize proper defenses”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took off the pair of metal gauntlets on his hands to reveal the beast hide gloves beneath.

“Ah? Isn’t this flame beast hide? From Wang Shun?” Shan Hai Qi Xia asked.

“Hm, it was his present——— but the current situation isn’t suitable for these gloves” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He took off the beast hide gloves, carefully put them away, then donned the metal gauntlets again.

Seeing that, Shan Hai Qi Xia took out the purple bell and said: “I’ll join you in battle”

“You don’t need to act in this minor incident”

“You’re—- planning on fighting against all these monsters by yourself?”

Gu Qing Shan warmed himself up a bit and replied: “It’s been a long time since I got to exercise. I recall that there was a set of Elemental Frost fist techniques in the School”

“Did Zhao Qiong let you see them? Although Elemental fist techniques are rare, the Elemental Frost technique in our School was merely at the elementary level, it’s not particularly powerful” Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.

“I don’t agree with that”

Gu Qing Shan jumped out from the window and flew straight towards the monster.

The monster instantly noticed him, abruptly looked up, and spat out a cluster of flames.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand and casually threw a punch.

The frosty white air clashed against the flames, immediately overpowering it, and enveloped the monster.

In an instant, the monster was covered in a layer of frost, completely frozen in place.

Gu Qing Shan lightly landed and flicked the monster’s body with his finger.

Cracks began to spread all over the monster’s body.

Cr-rak.

Crack.

Clak clak———

The monster’s body crumbled to dust, leaving only some faint white frost where it used to be, exuding frigid air.

Shan Hai Qi Xia landed next to Gu Qing Shan.

“No, I know this fist technique very well, it shouldn’t have such power at all… this doesn’t make sense” Shan Hai Qi Xia watched the monster’s remains and muttered.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “Someone once taught me a martial scripture, saying that as long as I recite, or even silently recount it in my mind, I’d gain much improvements on martial arts. At first, I didn’t really trust that too much, but now…”

“Hey—–”

A voice called from above.

The two of them looked up.

Only to see that NEET Gu Qing Shan had awakened.

He was holding a toothbrush in one hand and a cup of water in the other, a towel could still be seen hanging from his shoulder as he peeked out from the window.

He pointed at the rain of flames and asked: “With so many monsters, killing a single one is useless, do you have any other means?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I do, but…”

Shan Hai Qi Xia asked: “Aren’t you going to participate in battle as well?”

NEET Gu Qing Shan appeared helpless, then explained: “I’ve only just woken up and haven’t brushed my teeth yet. I still have to read a manga as well, there’s a very strict rule with my [Order]——- unless other people absolutely cannot resolve the issue, as a NEET, I can’t go acting like a savior”

“Then, how do you normally fight?” Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.

NEET Gu Qing Shan replied in a mutter: “Silently”

Gu Qing Shan: “…”

Shan Hai Qi Xia: “…”

“Alright, just continue resting then. Just act when it’s really crucial” Gu Qing Shan told him, feeling a bit of a headache, “Leave the current situation to me”

A black fog began to emanate from his body, his eyes also turned into a pair of vertical irises.

The form of a black dragon gradually became clear.

Intense wind howled.

A large dragon of darkness took to the sky, flying above the entire city.

Having consumed the power of three dragons, Gu Qing Shan’s strength had already surpassed the majority of heroes within the infinite worlds!

Unless it was against an Apocalypse or the ancient monsters who survived within the great tomb, normal people weren’t usually his match.

Not to mention, he still had the ability to turn into a dragon.

Roar!!!

The black dragon of darkness uttered a resounding roar, its claws gradually clad in a frigid aura.

Following the dragon’s aerial circulation, the frigid aura spread in the air, turning into a layer of encircling blue ice crystals.

Bam bam bam bam bam!

The balls of fire that flew out from the black fog descended upon the blue ice crystals like asteroids, only to be abruptly frozen before dropping from the sky as broken pieces of bone.

Not a single ball of fire managed to go through the frosty barrier to enter the city intact!

Gu Qing Shan who had now taken his black dragon form casually circled around in the air, spreading frost to improve the power of the barrier.

This way, the few monsters that managed to enter the city received no reinforcements and were swiftly dispatched by the Professionists within the city.

“A dragon!”

“A legendary dragon!”

“A dragon had arrived to help us against the monsters!”

The Professionists cheered.

Shan Hai Qi Xia stood on the street of the city, feeling shaken.

“So he was able to take the form of such a powerful dragon, no wonder the three Deities in the Age of Old were no match for him” she muttered.

NEET Gu Qing Shan stood by the window sill, holding a manga in his hand.

While reading the manga, he looked at the giant creature in the sky and muttered:

“Ah… so ‘I’ can turn into a dragon? Tsk tsk tsk, a real dragon looks even more impressive compared to the manga…”

“Alright, this way I can be assured and continue being a NEET…”

There were two bottles of chilled beer and a cup of instant noodles right next to the window sill where he sat.

——–from a certain point of view, this was a different kind of battle.

——-the necessary NEET life for the sake of becoming stronger!

As time went by, no more balls of fire shot out from the black fog.

—–apparently, the other party had realized that the plan to destroy the city had failed.

Suddenly, a malicious voice resounded from inside the black fog:

「 Dragon! I suggest you do not interfere where you are not needed unless you wish to fall to destruction following this world 」

Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan became focused.

This seems to be the guy who utilized the power of Causality earlier…

How strange, why is it working for the Apocalypse?

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan loudly questioned: 「 Who are you? Anonymous bastard who conceals himself, someone without even a name doesn’t deserve to talk to this great one! 」

The black fog remained silent for a while.

The voice finally spoke up again: 「 I am the Lord of billions of worlds in the void, the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate! Dragon, you have one last chance to retreat, or I shall have you endure the fate of eternal suffering! 」

Gu Qing Shan was shaken.

I was still wondering where I’m supposed to find this monster.

So this was the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate!

This monster is a target that I must kill, but why did it appear in an Apocalypse illusion?

This Apocalypse is supposed to be an Apocalypse from the previous era!

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Attention!]

[You need to eliminate five void monsters in order to unlock the unique ‘War God’ Title: Void War God]

[The first void monster: Judge of Living Beings’ Fate had appeared]

[With your power—— or rather, the power of living beings in general, it is next to impossible to defeat the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate]

[Countless years ago, when the great tomb manifested itself, this monster was greatly injured by the Apocalypse during its exploration of the tomb, leaving it on its last breath]

[That is why there is a chance—- and now, you’ve encountered this monster where it was defeated in the past]

[This will be your only chance to obtain the ‘Void War God’ Title!]
