Chapter 1364: Kill Rhode!

“Rhode, you need to give me enough heavenly being’s blood”

“Rhode, it’s very urgent, without the blood, that snake will kill me”

“I can guarantee, as long as I die, you will never be able to obtain the secrets of the Wraith realm regardless of what you do”

—–before Gu Qing Shan ‘killed’ Red Wraith, Red Wraith was hastily bargaining with Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan sent his voice: “I can give you the heavenly being’s blood, but I want you to tell me why you wanted to invade the Saint Spirit world”

Red Wraith roared: “There isn’t time—— hurry up and look, that snake is about to destroy my talismans already. Give me the blood, we need to defeat it first!”

“Not until you tell me the reason why you wanted to destroy the Saint Spirit world” Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.

Red Wraith was furious: “You——”

Gu Qing Shan cut him off: “I think you haven’t fully understood the situation. Without the heavenly being’s blood, you will be killed by the [Chaos] Serpentes King, but I won’t”

Red Wraith stayed silent and looked up at the sky.

The two Supreme Yin Heavenly Talismans that gave off a chilling aura were becoming increasingly dimmer.

The holy white light was about to destroy these two talismans.

There really wasn’t enough time left.

Despicable, if this brat hadn’t gotten control of the heavenly being’s blood…

Red Wraith gritted his teeth: “Rhode, I will only say it once. There is a unique object hidden within the Saint Spirit world, no one knows for sure what it exactly was, but I know that it must be either an object or message left from a person who came from outside the Reality Gate”

“But no one could find that object, not a single person”

“Only by destroying the entire Saint Spirit world would that object appear from its hiding place—– as it would not be destroyed together with the world!”

“We need to find it. This is an extremely crucial matter for us!”

“Vow that your words do not contain any lies” Gu Qing Shan said.

He had already pondered about what he just heard.

——could the object that Red Wraith is talking about the same thing that mother and father had hidden in the Roland empire’s underground royal treasure vault?

“You want me to vow? Why don’t you believe me!?” Red Wraith shouted.

“What a strange question, why should I believe you? Hurry up and vow, then I’ll give you the blood” Gu Qing Shan calmly said.

Right at this moment, a resounding heavy noise echoed from above.

The holy light had completely enveloped the sky, the two Supreme Yin Heavenly Talismans were completely destroyed without any trace.

This meant that the [Chaos] serpent would be coming soon.

Just as Gu Qing Shan had said, the [Chaos] Serpentes King would not kill him first, or even kill him at all, it would focus on immediately killing Red Wraith who could no longer draw any talismans.

Having no other choice, Red Wraith quickly made a vow to heaven and earth.

The Laws of reality fluctuated as proof.

The vow had been completed!

A burning sensation suddenly appeared from Gu Qing Shan’s wrist.

He released his inner sight to circle his left wrist.

The indigo pattern that depicted a sword and blade crossing with one another had turned into a burning Divine Script, which was the source of the pain.

The entire world receded away from Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

As darkness descended, Gu Qing Shan soon found himself standing in the middle of a vast sea of stars once again.

The boundless starlight quickly circled around him.

The world spirit manifested as numerous voices and spoke in unison: 「 You have learnt of the Wraith realm’s plans, as well as the truth of the matter 」

「 For the world as a whole, the current circumstances are extremely dangerous 」

「 The world after fusion absolutely cannot fall under the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s control, as the methodology of this Awaiting has all but caused the extinct monster world to be destroyed. You cannot allow the new world to also fall into acute self-destruction 」

The Divine Script on Gu Qing Shan’s wrist once again shapeshifted into a snake pattern.

「 You must stop the [Chaos] Serpentes King Ouroboros! 」

「 Considering the difference in strength like heaven and earth between the two of you, we do not require that you kill it, but you must ensure that it cannot influence the world’s natural flow 」

「 If you can do this, we shall extract the precious world Origin of the Inner Plane from the Laws of the world and gift it to you! 」

Instantly, the sea of stars scattered away, returning everything to how things originally were.

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, then took a small bit of heavenly being’s blood from the mass of hovering blood.

He raised the Devil King Warden Rod up high and thrust it downwards with force!

“Argh!” Red Wraith uttered a desperate howl.

The heavenly being’s blood flowed along the Devil King Warden Rod to enter the heavenly being’s corpse.

Red Wraith instantly faked being dead and remained skewered by the Devil King Warden Rod.

Right at this moment, the [Chaos] serpent Ouroboros descended from above.

『 It is our victory 』it declared.

…

Jumping forward in time.

Right as the [Chaos] serpent wanted to move and eradicate the remaining humans of the Saint Spirit world, Gu Qing Shan called it back.

“While I still have some luck remaining, I’d like to see that scene once again”

Saying that, Gu Qing Shan flicked the Devil King Warden Rod forward.

The heavenly being’s corpse was thrown out, then abruptly came back to life and tossed out two talismans.

“Quick!”

Red Wraith shouted.

Without any time to prepare, the [Chaos] Serpentes King stared closely at Gu Qing Shan: 『 Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, how unexpected for you to choose a path of certain death 』

“My apologies, but for living beings as a whole, you are also a path of certain death” Gu Qing Shan replied.

On the other hand, Red Wraith shouted hysterically: “Ahahaha, I was no match for you earlier because I was afflicted by [Wicked Thoughts Burning Spirit], but now things are different!”

His hands were both soaked in heavenly being’s blood, which he used to swiftly draw talisman after talisman in the void of space.

The [Chaos] Serpentes King instantly unleashed its holy white light to attack the talismans that have yet to be completed.

Whenever they were struck, the talismans would fade into the void of space, then reappeared after a short while.

Both of Red Wraith’s hands had turned into blurred images as he rapidly drew more and more talismans.

In almost a single breath’s worth of time, he had already finished drawing a long chain of talismans.

As these talismans became linked with one another, they hovered in place, showing no reaction even as they were struck by the white light.

Red Wraith pulled his hands back and formed a hand seal.

Heavenly Talisman technique: [Moon Chains]!

Instantly, the chain of talismans manifested into crimson chains that coiled around the [Chaos] serpent, trapping it.

The [Chaos] Serpentes King struggled with all its might.

Red Wraith loudly shouted: “[Chaos] serpent, I won’t kill you, that would only expend all of my power and ensure our mutual destruction!”

『 I don’t believe you 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King coldly replied.

It gathered all of the white light to manifest a sword of light, preparing to cut the crimson chains apart.

Red Wraith loudly shouted: “Serpentes King, you and I have no grudge against one another, I don’t even care about what you want to do! But I want to kill this human called Rhode, my chains are only there to restrain you and ensure that you won’t interfere”

The [Chaos] Serpentes King turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Only to see that around Gu Qing Shan, the desert had disappeared without a trace, replaced by another world entirely.

A tattered palace lit by moonlight that seemed to be the Heavenly Palace after it had been destroyed.

Crumbling walls, and not a single person to be seen.

In the main square in front of the palace, Gu Qing Shan was standing on top of a jade platform.

Around the platform, at the four cardinal directions, a statue of the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise stood respectively, all of which were facing Gu Qing Shan.

An immense aura radiated from their bodies, almost as if they were alive.

Supreme Yin Heavenly Talisman, [Four Saint]!

Supreme Yin Heavenly Talisman, [Palace Offering]!

“Rhode, it’s time for your death” Red Wraith spoke in a heavy tone.

Gu Qing Shan curtly smiled at him: “You were begging me for heavenly being’s blood earlier and you’re already trying to kill me now?”

“I’ve been trying to kill you for a long while—— not only do you know the secret of our Wraith realm, but you had even tried to chase the wolf towards the tiger, trying to get me to help you kill the [Chaos] Serpentes King—— you are not personally powerful, but I’ve felt nothing but a chilling sensation whenever I see you” Red Wraith replied.

At this point, he could finally see his approaching victory.

“Come, Rhode—— Life, Death, Turn, or Shift, let us see your fortune” Red Wraith raised his voice.

Gu Qing Shan calmly replied: “No, I suggest that you continue to fight the [Chaos] Serpentes King, or you will die immediately”

A handful of fine black sand appeared in his palm, at the same time, the mass of heavenly being’s blood hovering in the air flew towards him and lightly levitated around the fine black sand.

“Care to take a guess what would happen if I put this handful of sand into the heavenly being’s blood?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Red Wraith was stunned.

“You… How could you have the Reincarnation Spirit Devouring Sand!?” he shouted in disbelief.
