[You can activate the Sacrificial Dance!]
As soon as Gu Qing Shan read this, he felt an intense pain in his chest.
There was no time to react.
He was sent flying by a single punch into the ground, passed through the entire world, and drifted into the darkness of nothingness.
Pfft!
Gu Qing Shan coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked towards the Wraith realm's direction.
The entire Wraith realm had begun to collapse.
Innumerable 7-colored sprites of light drifted about like an illusory rain, but also like shards of broken glass that scattered in every direction.
These were all fragments of the Wraith realm!
Under the Time Apocalypse's attack, the Wraith realm once again shattered into countless fragments that scattered into the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan had a regretful look in his eyes.
He could use his eye to absorb the Huang Quan world, but he still had no idea how to deal with the Wraith realm.
In the void of space.
The wraith cultivator and the white flame skeleton flew over, lightly hovering in the void of space.
"Not bad, using Time Freeze to counter us, but Time Freeze is only a small trick, it's still far from being able to stop us" the wraith cultivator said.
The white flame skeleton regretfully said: "Indeed, I thought he would take that chance to attack, that way I would be able to catch him, but he didn't even come close"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two Apocalypses.
Just now, they were pretending to be hit and wanted to catch me.
Fortunately, I had a premonition, so I only called the damn fatty here once and didn't attack him.
A screen of light appeared in front of the wraith cultivator's eyes.
"Let me see what I've managed to catch this time"
Within Time, the scenes that Gu Qing Shan experienced appeared in the screen of light.
They were the events that happened while he was searching for the twin swords Heaven and Earth.
「 Meaningless memories 」 the white flame skeleton commented.
「 Seems like I'll have to dig deeper to see his true secrets 」 the wraith cultivator said.
The two Apocalypses both turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Rumble rumble rumble
The entire Wraith realm behind them had crumbled into ruins in the void of space.
In that world, everyone was already dead.
The Wraith cultivator walked towards Gu Qing Shan and casually said: "Give up struggling, admitting defeat isn't a shameful thing, especially against a high-ranking Apocalypse like myself"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him coldly and said,
"The more blood there is, the more vigorous the dance becomes. We have tasted the desire to kill, and we consider ourselves holy."
The void fell silent.
All the Prayers on the War God UI returned to zero.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
A desolate and ancient war drum sounded.
The white flame skeleton suddenly said, "Be careful, his dance is very strange."
The wraith cultivator disappeared.
A deafening crash resounded.
Gu Qing Shan was sent flying again like a cannonball.
His figure streaked across the dark void and flew forward, finally crashing into the wall of the dark tunnel.
The entire wall collapsed with a loud bang.
This was still the ruins of the Pantheon, a dark tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan was buried in the rubble.
Immediately, all the drumming stopped and completely disappeared.
The wraith cultivator smirked and said: "See, interrupting his Dance is as easy as lifting my hand"
Rumble rumble rumble
The rubble shook a bit. Gu Qing Shan staggered to stand up.
Blood flowed from the top of his head, dyeing his hair and eyes red, but he quickly wiped it away.
A line of glowing text silently hovered in front of his eyes:
[Due to your unique state 'Endurance', your Sacrificial Dance will not be interrupted. As long as you continue to dance, the effects of the Sacrificial Dance will continue to appear]
Gu Qing Shan spat out some blood, wiped his mouth, and continued to dance.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
The sound of the war drum filled with a sense of heroism resounded once again, followed by the sound of horns.
The Sacrificial Dance had begun again!
The wraith cultivator stared at Gu Qing Shan from afar and smirked: "Still not giving up?"
He activated Time Stop again.
Almost instantly, the wraith cultivator appeared behind Gu Qing Shan and shouted: "Deprive!"
In a split second, all of Gu Qing Shan's flesh and blood were stripped away, turning into a mottled skeleton.
The wraith cultivator was surprised.
"How strange, I only deprived him of 8000 years of time, why did he die just like that?" the wraith cultivator muttered to himself.
All of a sudden, the mottled skeleton turned around and abruptly embraced the wraith cultivator.
"Sacrifice!"
A hoarse female voice came from the skeleton's mouth.
The wraith cultivator uttered a desperate scream as all of his flesh and blood was stripped away, leaving only a skeleton.
The two skeletons embraced each other.
"Gu Qing Shan, do it" the hoarse female voice spoke.
However, a person appeared from behind the skeleton, raised his sword, and stabbed forward!
The wraith skeleton struggled with all its might, trying to break free from the skeleton's embrace.
It was useless.
No matter what temporal technique it used, it couldn't escape from the skeleton's embrace.
"Die!"
Gu Qing Shan roared and swung her sword.
At the very next moment.
A shadow replaced the wraith cultivator, was hugged by the skeleton, then stabbed by Gu Qing Shan's sword.
The skeleton felt like it had been pardoned and flew back to the white flame skeleton's side, muttering: "Thank you"
「 It's fine, this Dance seems to be related to something important, it's an extremely valuable secret 」 the white flame skeleton solemnly replied.
The skeleton muttered: 「 Bestowal of Time 」
Flesh, skin, fur, and hair quickly grew from its body, it even manifested a wraith costume to wear.
A moment ago, it was still a skeleton, but in the blink of an eye, it had completely recovered.
This was the power of the Apocalypse of Time. It was an Apocalypse that could not be destroyed!
The wraith cultivator looked at Gu Qing Shan and the skeleton again, his expression a bit more cautious.
Gu Qing Shan and the skeleton were also looking at them.
"How regretful …" the hoarse female voice resounded again: "The other side is two high-ranking Apocalypses, I can't kill them all at once"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Is there any way to deal with them now?"
"You're too weak … there are many things you can't do … you can't win against them …" the hoarse female voice regretfully replied.
In front of them, the wraith cultivator and the white flame skeleton exchanged glances.
That skeleton actually dared to say that.
That's unexpected.
"What do you think?" the white flame skeleton asked.
The wraith cultivator shook his head: "The void of space is endless, and there are also countless strange and eerie beings and things. Even I, a Sequence that has destroyed countless worlds, have never come into contact with this monster before"
"Could it be a higher-level secret?" the white flame skeleton asked.
"Possibly" the wraith cultivator replied.
The two Apocalypses went silent.
Their auras were different.
If it was just a simple battle before, there was now an intense pressure.
They were preparing to go all out!
"If I go all out, it would take a lot of energy, but I feel like if I can take him down, I'll be able to learn a lot of valuable secrets" the white flame skeleton commented.
"Although this is only a tiny clone of mine, I was able to sense the end just now, how incredible" the wraith cultivator commented.
"Then let's …"
"Very well"
The white flame skeleton turned into a cluster of intense white flames that enveloped the wraith cultivator's body.
The wraith cultivator began to change.
At another location.
The skeleton opened its mouth and spoke with a hoarse female voice: 「 Be careful, one of them is a Temporal Apocalypse, while the other is a Silent Radiant Apocalypse, both of them are currently fusing to form the powerful Temporal Apocalypse Armament. Even if you have the power of 'Invincible', you won't be able to stop their combined attack 」
"Lady, I have to stall them, otherwise, the Reality Gate will open and everything will be destroyed" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The skeleton paused briefly, then replied: 「 There's no other way, if you want to stall for time, you can only use that thing right now, and it won't be able to stall for too long 」
It turned around, reached out its bony finger, and lightly tapped Gu Qing Shan's left arm.
In an instant, a green light appeared.
Gu Qing Shan fell into a daze.
The scenery around them changed.
The sun was high in the sky.
The earth was dry.
An ancient altar stood in the middle of a desolate wilderness.
A large number of people surrounded the altar, dancing and singing.
Most of their skin was exposed, covered in strange and primitive black runes. As they danced, these black runes would also change, giving them an indescribably eerie feeling.
The altar was ablaze with flames.
Gu Qing Shan stood next to the flames, blankly observing everything around him.
The hoarse female voice resounded next to him:
「 With my recommendation, awaken the slumbering Desolate Sacrificial Dance Spirit 」
The flames abruptly rose to the sky.
A figure appeared from within the flames.
「 It's too early … it's still too early to summon me … 」
The figure said.
The skeleton spoke with the hoarse female voice: 「 Cut the nonsense, completely abandon this altar and lend your power to me, I want to protect this person in front of me 」
「 Why? 」 the figure asked.
「 The Apocalypse is about to enter the Reality Gate, he is the last one standing 」 the hoarse female voice replied.
The figure went silent for a while, then replied: 「 Very well, I will sacrifice this altar, but the power of this altar is truly limited, I can only allow your spirit to descend a bit, it won't be able to defeat the Apocalypse 」
「 I know, this is the only way right now 」 the hoarse female voice replied.
All the illusions faded away and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was still standing in the void of darkness.
At some unknown point, he suddenly realized something.
Within the void of space, a melodious female voice was chanting.
He took a few steps forward, raised his arm, and shouted: "Rise!"
The void of space trembled.
Gloomy fog abruptly manifested, then quickly scattered.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
The war drums were beating rapidly.
Several dozen skeletons appeared around Gu Qing Shan, forming a defensive formation.
A sense of heroism filled the air.
In front of Gu Qing Shan.
The two Apocalypses had just finished fusing.
The Wraith cultivator was wielding a pair of flaming gauntlets in his hands, several dozen white lights that reached as far as they could reach appeared behind him.
Light and shadow constantly intertwined, circling around his body.
The Wraith cultivator looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a low voice: "A higher order, a more destructive power, let this end now"
He casually threw a punch.
At the very next moment, the entire dark void of space turned into a blinding white light.
Around them, torrential wind continued to blow.
The darkness within the space vortex slowly seeped in and extinguished all the flames of light.
The white light finally faded.
Everything was destroyed.
The ruins of the Pantheon that contained countless worlds were completely crushed into dust by this single punch, scattered within the space vortex without a trace.
Everything slowly returned to normal.
In front of Gu Qing Shan, all the skeletons had been completely destroyed.
But Gu Qing Shan was only lightly wounded.
"Hm?"
The Wraith cultivator was clearly a bit surprised, staring straight at Gu Qing Shan, muttering in a low voice: "That's impossible, he was clearly someone who couldn't even take a single attack from me …"
Gu Qing Shan took a step back, raised both hands high, and swung them down.
"Again!" he shouted.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Clusters of fog continuously exploded and were blown away by the wind.
The undamaged skeletons once again appeared, assuming a defensive stance and stood in front of him.
"This isn't enough, it's not enough!"
Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Hearing him say that, the skeletons gave up their defensive stance and turned into clusters of grey-white fog, circling around him.
"Go" the hoarse female voice spoke.
Gu Qing Shan wielded a sword in each hand, his figure flashed as he charged towards the Wraith cultivator.
In the void of space, the music changed, becoming more hurried and filled with killing intent.
"Kill, kill" the group of female voices chanted in unison.
The two swords turned into thousands of swords, instantly slashing everything in their path, only to erupt with the sound of unwillingness.
Clang!
The Wraith cultivator swung his white flame gauntlets to block the two swords.
"It's useless, time is on my side" he said.
Five clusters of fog abruptly flew out from Gu Qing Shan's body.
These clusters of fog circled around the Wraith cultivator's body, manifesting as skeletal hands that grabbed him tightly.
The Wraith cultivator left a silhouette where he stood, then escaped from the skeletal hands' restraints and attacked Gu Qing Shan again.
He now has the power of the white flame skeletons!
In that split second, a cluster of fog turned into a skeleton that blocked in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Boom!
The skeleton was shattered. Gu Qing Shan was sent flying.
He struggled to hover in the air.
The sound of a flute resounded in the wind.
The Dance of Death had fallen into a low ebb.
The hoarse female voice sighed: "How regretful, Gu Qing Shan, your Sacrificial Dance is only a deathmatch, it cannot support my stronger attacks"
"Then let us first defend"
Gu Qing Shan said.
He seemed to have noticed something and abruptly swung both swords, unleashing countless sword images in every direction.
At the very next moment, time had stopped.
The Wraith cultivator flew towards him, casually waved his hand in the void of space and shouted: "Time reversal!"
The sword images around Gu Qing Shan retreated and disappeared without a trace.
Finally, time stopped at the exact moment when Gu Qing Shan was about to attack.
The Wraith cultivator raised his hand of white flames, about to attack, then stopped.
Although time had stopped, eight skeletons manifested from Gu Qing Shan's body, standing in front of him and assuming a defensive stance.
The Wraith cultivator paused briefly, then spoke: "To be able to use Causality Law in the frozen time, I'm becoming more and more curious about your identity"
One of the skeletons looked at him, then spoke with a hoarse female voice: "A mere clone dares to pry into my secrets?"
The Wraith cultivator abruptly swung his fist.
The white flames flashed, flying in front of Gu Qing Shan, then abruptly expanded into a blinding flash of light.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble
The attacks of the two Apocalypses were like thunder, exploding continuously.
All the skeletons were shattered, turning into fragments that scattered all over the sky.
Gu Qing Shan was sent flying again.
Time returned to normal.
This time, Gu Qing Shan no longer had the strength to stabilize himself.
He kept falling forward until he finally landed on a small, barren planet and blasted out a huge crater.
"Hoh hoh hoh"
Gu Qing Shan lay at the bottom of the crater, breathing heavily from exhaustion.
He could feel himself reaching his limit.
All the power in his body had been squeezed out, his life was like a candle flickering in the wind.
In the void of space, the sound of the drum became weaker. The sound of the flute became even more sorrowful.
Innumerable female voices wept in unison.
A white skeleton walked out from the grey fog, supporting him as they climbed out of the crater.
The white skeleton opened its mouth and spoke with a hoarse female voice.
"You can't, time cannot be caught, you can't find its weakness, you can't win against it right now"
Gu Qing Shan spat out the blood that was surging up to his mouth, only then did he feel a bit better.
He said nothing.
The two of them looked up at the sky.
The Wraith cultivator was descending.
The white skeleton sighed, then spoke with a hoarse female voice: "It seems this Reality Gate can't be held any longer, everything is coming to an end"
The Wraith cultivator stood still on the other side, then agreed: "That's right, everything is coming to an end for both of you"
Dong.
Dong.
Dong.
The sound of the drum became increasingly heavy.
Faint ominous auras began to spread, indicating the end of the Sacrificial Dance.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "I agree, it seems I really can't win against these two Apocalypses"
The Wraith cultivator looked at him in surprise, stayed silent for a short moment, then suddenly laughed:
「 So you've decided to surrender? But if a stubborn fellow like you is willing to surrender in the end, I'll enjoy this process 」
The white skeleton also looked at him.
Gu Qing Shan staggered a bit, finally regaining his balance.
Beside his ear, another anxious and agitated voice had already rung out.
[Your excellency Gu Qing Shan, the [Order] has been strengthened to the lowest level]
[There is no need for you to stall for time!]
[The [Order] has bestowed upon you a unique title: Slumbering Era's Songster of Night!]
This was lady Black Sea's voice.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space in front of him.
At the same time, lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[At the moment of the Apocalypse's rampage, a Songster of Night will summon the slumbering Awaitings and have them all awaken to fight against the Apocalypse]
[You have obtained a unique title: Slumbering Era's Songster of Night]
[You need to sing a song, regardless of what you sing or how many lines you sing, it will immediately awaken them]
[Begin!]
In the void of space, the music of the Dance of Death Duel became even more sorrowful.
Gu Qing Shan retracted his gaze and spat up some blood.
Sing?
That's not something that I can do.
But if I can awaken the Awaitings by simply singing a little, I'll have to do it no matter what.
Under the Wraith cultivator's gaze, he told the white skeleton: "Lady, thank you for your help up until now, but there's no need for you to trouble yourself any further"
「 Gu Qing Shan … have you given up? 」 the hoarse female voice asked with a hint of disappointment.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head, raised his hand, and clenched it.
This seemed to be a signal. All the music of the Dance of Death Duel disappeared.
Everything became silent.
Gu Qing Shan began to sing at the top of his lungs:
"May you live as long as the heavens, and may you be happy on your birthday ~"
"This day comes every year, this day comes every year"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!!!"
A cold gust of wind blew past.
The silence turned into silence.
The Wraith cultivator and the white skeleton silently stared at him, completely clueless as to what just happened.
"Seems like he's gone mad. That's quite common, within the civilizations that I've destroyed, many people were unable to endure it and became insane on the spot"
The Wraith cultivator's body trembled, about to charge towards Gu Qing Shan.
The white skeleton took a defensive stance.
At the very next moment.
They both stopped at the same time and looked up at the sky.
「 What is that? 」 the Wraith cultivator squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice.
「 That was fast, is it Gu Qing Shan's comrade? 」 the hoarse female voice asked.
A gloomy figure descended from the sky and slowly turned into a humanoid figure.
This was an entity whose face was hidden under a black cloak.
He slowly walked up to Gu Qing Shan and stood still.
When he looked up, everyone could see his golden vertical pupils, as well as his scaly face.
This entity silently stared at Gu Qing Shan with a displeased expression on his face.
「 Brat, you were out of tune for the second line just now 」 he protested.
"I'm sorry, I can't really sing" Gu Qing Shan laughed.
He was laughing so hard that his entire body was trembling, unable to stop himself from coughing up blood.
All of a sudden, the void of space parted to reveal an endless waterfall of quicksand.
From the waterfall of quicksand, a woman wielding a scepter and wearing a crown quickly stepped out.
She spoke in displeasure:
「 Ancestor of the Thousand Dragons, Gu Qing Shan allowed you to awaken before your destruction, and you still have the gall to complain? 」
Saying so, she smiled gently at Gu Qing Shan.
"We meet again, Gu Qing Shan, you've done very well"
"I almost died" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"I guarantee it won't happen again, at least not now" the woman said mischievously.
The Thousand Dragons Ancestor stared at the Wraith cultivator in front of him with a look of disdain.
"Tsk tsk, two Apocalypse clones, yet you dare to show yourself in front of this grandpa?"
The Wraith cultivator's killing intent rose as he shouted: "You'll die!"
He raised his fist.
A split second later, his expression changed.
"You still want to control time? Not unless your main body is here "the scepter wielding woman coldly declared.
The Thousand Dragons Ancestor crossed his arms and pondered: "Back then, we were surrounded by several dozen Apocalypses and had no choice but to escape into the Reality Gate. Who would've thought, even a clone of an Apocalypse would dare to act so brazenly in front of us"
Grey figures descended from the sky, standing around Gu Qing Shan.
A rock humanoid with a mohawk hairstyle.
An old man with dual blades shrouded in black fog.
An eight-armed giant.
A young girl wielding a sledgehammer.
…
More and more people were arriving.
The Awaitings.
All the Awaitings had arrived!
