Chapter 1389: Eradicate

An unfamiliar sword technique appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea, that was slowly being comprehended and grasped by him.

[Huang Quan Divine Skill: Forgetting River Severance]

[Iris Sword, instant ability]

[Instantly unleash 36 consecutive Mind Sword attacks; if it gets blocked, then unleash 72 consecutive strikes; if it gets blocked, then unleash 144 consecutive strikes; so on and so forth. Every Iris Sword will be stronger than the last, continuing until 1000 strikes]

[The water of the Forgetting River indefinitely flows]

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

His understanding of Mind Swords up to now had been limited to [Rahu’s Eclipse of Sun and Moon], so he didn’t expect to suddenly gain another Mind Sword technique.

I wonder how powerful this Sword Divine Skill is…

Right as Gu Qing Shan was thinking that, he heard the fully-armored wraith shout:

“Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, your death is imminent, hand over the twin swords Heaven and Earth, and surrender!”

Gu Qing Shan blankly turned to that wraith.

——there’s a perfect target right here, isn’t there?

With that thought in mind, he triggered the sword seal as his left eye gave off an immense flow of sword phantoms.

Instantly——

A total of 36 sharp fluctuations appeared at the same time, slashing towards the armored wraith.

The wraith was caught by surprise, but he still hurriedly wielded a quarterstaff to protect himself.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang!

The sound of numerous strikes hit the quarterstaff, sending the wraith spiraling backwards as if he was struck by a huge impact.

——there was truly some merit to him, being chosen as the wraith’s leader during such an operation, as he actually managed to stop 36 strikes in a row.

Unfortunately…

As soon as the first 36 strikes faded away, another 72 sharp fluctuations manifested and violently slashed towards the wraith.

The wraith was frightened, but still swung the quarterstaff in his hand and shouted: “Petty tricks——-”

Bam!

The first fluctuation struck the quarterstaff, this time giving off a resounding noise.

——the strikes were stronger this time!

Instantly, the wraith’s figure was sent flying towards the distant horizon like a small black dot.

At the end of their visions, countless sword phantoms struck the quarterstaff one after another.

The quarterstaff was finally unable to endure the impact and broke in half.

The wraith was instantly slashed into a mist of blood by the invisible fluctuations before being blown away by the night wind.

Complete silence.

The wraiths and angels didn’t even see Gu Qing Shan act.

They only heard the wraith leader completing one sentence before being sent flying.

On the other hand, Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

After unleashing this Iris Sword Divine Skill, he instantly understood.

This Iris Sword ability is very powerful.

——but its consumption is also considerable, using up 20% of my Huang Quan Origin power in an instant.

Huang Quan Origin power was the evolved version of spirit energy, so he needed a certain amount of time for it to slowly recover.

Naturally, the more Gu Qing Shan could fused the Huang Quan fragment worlds into his eye later on, the vaster his Huang Quan Origin power reservoir would become.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded and muttered to himself: “He’s quite strong, being able to stop 107 strikes from me, he was certainly qualified to lead my elimination mission”

As soon as Gu Qing Shan said that, the numerous angels and wraiths in the sky snapped out of their shock.

“Detestable, kill him!” one of the angels shouted.

“Charge!”

“Kill him!”

Right as they were about to attack, Gu Qing Shan appeared as if he sensed something and firmly shouted:

“Wait—— everybody halt! Stop your hands!”

The angels and wraiths couldn’t help but pause.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression was extremely serious as he shouted to everyone: “Listen carefully! You definitely cannot attack me all at once!”

He appeared extremely anxious as if there was some sort of severe issue with doing that.

Everyone couldn’t help but think.

Could there still be some sort of unknown circumstances?

One of the angels couldn’t help but question: “Why can’t we attack?”

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the numerous enemies in the sky, answering them with a serious expression: “Because if you all attack me at once, I will die”

The angels and wraiths froze, their minds quickly turning.

What he said… was true.

But we’re here to take your life.

Damn it!

Do you not understand your situation!?[1]

A female voice suddenly sounded:

“No need to stall any longer, the thread of death has coiled around all of the prey”

Gu Qing Shan instantly raised his hand.

A fine thread that exuded black mist was coiled around his wrist, while the other end of the thread reached into the infinite void of space.

Gu Qing Shan then pulled it down with all his strength.

The female voice also grunted: “Dual Worlds of Destiny, manifest!”

Instantly, all the wraiths and angels felt an intense force pulling on their bodies.

The massive number of angels and wraiths that surrounded Gu Qing Shan from the earth to the sky all disappeared without a trace.

There was no longer any intense presence, radiating fluctuations, or immense killing intent.

Everything had returned to normal.

This was such an incredible scene that it felt almost like a miracle.

Gu Qing Shan looked around and sighed: “Finally, some peace and quiet”

Xiao Die slowly descended from above, standing next to him with a shocked expression.

“They destroyed my house”

She angrily puffed up.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then consoled her: “The Great Flood is coming, that’s an Unlivable Apocalypse, your house would probably not be able to survive either way, don’t feel too bad about it”

Xiao Die refuted: “No way, that house was something I personally designed, I spent effort to build and fix it bit by bit, you don’t even understand how much hard work it took—— I’m going to kill as many as I can to avenge my house!”

She raised her hand.

There was also a thread that exuded black mist around her wrist.

Xiao Die suddenly clenched her fist and violently threw a punch into the void of space.

Numerous desperate screams could be heard.

From these screams, one could tell that they came from some angels and wraiths.

Gu Qing Shan stood with his arms crossed on one side, confusedly asking: “Where exactly did these angels come from? I know that the angels come from a world called Heaven, but I think there were also entities called angels in the Inner Plane”

Xiao Die continuously threw punches into the void of space without pause while answering him: “Angels were originally unique envoys of the Inner Plane, responsible for enforcing a certain authority to restrict the Deities, called Condemnation——- but after the Inner Plane was destroyed, the angels lost this authority and became scattered within the space vortex, gradually forming their own world”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

An authority to restrict Deities called Condemnation.

That sounds familiar.

He released his inner sight to scan inside his Thought Sea.

Only to see the Condemnation Codex remaining still within his Thought Sea without moving.

——–so there was such a story behind it.

If that’s the case, these angels are all fake, only Little Dusk and I are real angels?

Gu Qing Shan’s mind was a bit boggled.

Then, what exactly are these angels planning, getting so involved with the wraiths?

They’re not actually planning to destroy the Samsara like Yu Juan claimed, right?

—-impossible.

Never mind anything else, there’s no way that the wraiths would destroy the Mara Heavenly Bow and Red Wraith Life Talisman.

Xiao Die’s voice called out, cutting off his train of thought:

“Gu Qing Shan, come here and help me, we need to quickly kill them all and leave”

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and drew his sword.

He wielded the sword with the hand wrapped by the thread of fate and continuously swung towards the void of space.

Several splashes of blood appeared in front of his eyes and disappeared, but none of them fell on his body.

From various hidden locations, many Combatants were also attacking the void of space with a thread wrapped around their wrist.

Not too long after, Fei Yue’s voice called out again:

“No need to keep killing, I’ve left a few to slowly pry their mouths open”

Everyone stopped at once.

Fei Yue then declared: “Everyone gather at the City Lord’s manor; we’re going to leave Void City before the Great Flood strikes!”

While she spoke, Gu Qing Shan noticed that the black thread on his wrist had disappeared.

He couldn’t help but check the combat synopsis on the War God UI:

[You’ve successfully entered the Dual Worlds of Destiny, the Living world]

[Each of your attacks will directly strike living beings of the Death world, causing true damage]

[Attention, this is a Fate-type Divine Skill of the highest level, do not attempt to disturb or destroy it, otherwise, you will be inflicted with continuous bad luck, this will continue for 100 years before it slowly fades away]

Gu Qing Shan slightly shook his head.

Fate-type abilities were truly terrifying.

As expected, Fei Yue’s title of the strongest person in Void City wasn’t just for show.

[1] This, everybody, is why you need a commander in war. Because otherwise, your soldiers can do stupid shit out of hesitation
