The Tribulation lightning blade was finally raised.
The Kirin smiled apologetically: 「 Sir, keeping me here was definitely the right decision, I will definitely help you 」
It lightly put a bag of money about half the size of a person on the ground, then silently pushed it next to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan remained unfazed and only lightly tapped the bag of money with his hand.
Instantly, the entire bag of money deflated.
Seeing that she accepted the money, the Kirin silently sighed in relief.
— — seems like my life is safe.
Gu Qing Shan ignored it and looked at the void of space.
A line of crimson text appeared in the air:
[Money and goods are abundant, repayment conditions met]
[The Book of Seabed has been received]
[Attention, your debt for the current day has been repaid]
[You still owe the Book of Seabed 3000 years and 1 day]
"Do your best!"
Gu Qing Shan quickly read through it without changing his expression at all.
Paying him back was a normal thing to do.
What he was really worried about was actually the matter of the Divine Artifact and merit.
— — since this was related to Shannu, he couldn't be too careful.
"Kirin, I have a question" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please ask, sir" the Kirin respectfully replied.
"If I have too little Merit, I'll lose the Divine Armament — — - what if I have too much Merit?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You might be given a more powerful Divine Armament, as well as a higher Deific Authority" the Kirin replied.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and asked: "What if a Saint's Chosen doesn't want a more powerful weapon and only wants their original weapon?"
"Doesn't want a more powerful weapon? Would there be such an idiot? "the Kirin shook his head.
"You only need to tell me the answer" Gu Qing Shan told him.
"No one knows the answer, because the human realm hasn't even been established yet, so no one would know that far away — — not even the Heavenly Court" the Kirin replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
As soon as he thought about losing the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, he couldn't help but feel anxious. With every passing minute, this feeling grew stronger and stronger, to the point where he couldn't calm down at all.
"What can I do to obtain a large amount of Merit?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If you're outside, you'll only be killing the monsters of the five elements. But if you have the chance to enter the battlefield of the five elements, you'll be able to do even more things," said the kirin.
"For example?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 For example, the remaining Apocalypses within the Samsara, the powerful monsters from the space vortex, or even the traitorous vestigial races from the last Samsara War. These are all problems that the Samsara Reincarnation has eliminated, requiring the Saint Chosen to deal with 」 the kirin explained.
"I see. I get it now —"
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her Saber and continued: "Swear on the Samsara Vow that you will follow me and never betray me, then I will spare your life"
The Qilin sighed. "Fine, I'd rather betray the Heavenly Court than lose my Chosen Saint aptitude."
Pa!
Its chest suddenly split open, and dripping blood spilled all over the ground.
The Qilin looked down in confusion.
A lump of flesh popped out from its chest.
This lump of flesh quickly turned into a colorful insect with a pair of transparent wings.
This insect was only the size of a finger, but the Qilin seemed to be stunned by it.
The Qilin's expression changed, a bit angry, a bit unwilling, and a bit fearful.
It abruptly turned to Gu Qing Shan and whined: 「 Save me! Save me! 」
"How?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He looked at the little worm, and his heart was filled with an ominous feeling.
But before the Qilin could answer, the colorful insect abruptly uttered a sharp and short shriek.
「 Betray the Heavenly Court, die! 」
The insect shrieked as one end pierced through the Qilin's chest, while the other end turned into two blade-like limbs.
The Qilin's expression froze.
It spat up some blood and stammered: 「 … I … I just want to live … 」
Rip — —
The Qilin's gigantic body was abruptly cut in half, falling to the ground in a pool of blood.
— — it died just like that.
As Gu Qing Shan silently watched this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
— — -some sort of monster had crawled out from the Qilin's stomach.
It looked no different from a human, but had a pair of blade-like forelimbs.
「 … Betray the Heavenly Court … only death awaits! 」
The monster stared at Gu Qing Shan without hiding its killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan lightly swung her Blade.
The Tribulation Lightning on the Blade began to vibrate intensely.
"I killed one and now another, when will this ever end?" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
「 You're thinking too much, I'm going to send you to Huang Quan right now! 」 the monster's body flashed and disappeared without a trace.
So fast!
Gu Qing Shan turned into a streak of lightning and instantly avoided the monster's attack.
「 You want to run?
」 the monster shouted, then turned into a streak of light that chased after the streak of lightning.
The two streaks of light circled around the Qilin's corpse, moving so fast that neither of them could shake the other off.
"— — -who said I wanted to run!?"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped, turned around, and swung her Blade with all her might!
The monster reacted extremely quickly and used one of its blade-like forelimbs to receive the attack — — -
Kih!
Like metal clashing with stone, the sound of impact resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Countless arcs of lightning scattered. The Blade in Gu Qing Shan's hand was cut in half.
The arcs of lightning continued to circle around the monster's body before finally dispersing.
Even though it was struck, the monster was completely unharmed.
— — -the Heaven's Tribulation was completely useless?
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
His bow was now broken, his Blade was also broken, he had no other weapons to use.
On the other hand, the monster seemed to have run into a problem.
「 So it was a real Tribulation Lightning? Could it be that you're a Heaven Immortal who wandered outside? … No, you're not a Heaven Immortal, then who exactly are you? 」
The monster stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, seemingly thinking about something.
Gu Qing Shan slightly tilted her head to stare at the Qilin's corpse.
— — although this Qilin was an opponent, it chose to side with me at the very last moment.
I originally wanted to subdue the Qilin, but I didn't think it would die just like that.
— — from the Qilin's reaction just now, it clearly didn't know that I had this thing on me.
If this was the Heavenly Court's method — — -
Even my subordinates didn't believe it, immediately killing it as soon as something went wrong.
Such an organization had probably prepared countless backup plans.
Even if the Samsara stripped the immortals of their Deific Authority, it wouldn't affect the Heavenly Court much, unless the Deific Authority was reestablished …
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a voice resounded in her ears:
「 What an evil power … it's Immortal Devouring Gu 」
— — the voice of the Samsara Delimitation sword!
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "You're awake?"
「 Hm, I sensed the power of Immortal Devouring Gu and woke up — — - listen to me, your situation isn't good, this guy isn't someone you can deal with 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword replied.
"I feel like I'm on par with it" Gu Qing Shan refuted.
「 It can transcend realms and summon the immortals of the Heavenly Court 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword replied.
"… Alright, I really can't beat it like that" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 So prepare to escape 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan's expression flickered.
He felt something cold and hard in his hand.
— — a fragment of the Divine Sword.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
「 I'm secretly absorbing the power of the Qilin's blood. Its blood contains the Samsara's spirituality and can provide me with a bit of the Samsara's origin power — — only then will I be able to escape with you 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword explained.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the ground.
The crimson blood on the ground was slowly turning grey.
「 If you want to live, stall for a bit longer 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword sent its voice.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the other side.
A pair of translucent wings of light suddenly spread out from the monster's back.
「 I roughly know who you are, after all … you're the one that must be killed … 」 the monster spoke in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed the other party's killing intent.
— — -in this situation, I can only fight.
The other party is a true killer!
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "You guys, after killing one, another comes right after, I really don't know when it's going to end"
He raised the remaining half of the Blade.
From the sky, a crimson bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended, attached itself to the broken part of the Blade, and manifested as a red blade.
— — Soul Annihilating Lightning.
This type of lightning was even more powerful.
Gu Qing Shan assumed a defensive stance as his entire body began to glow with electricity.
「 Soul Annihilating Lightning?
」 the monster continued with a mocking tone: 「 So it really was you, completely unaware of what you're facing, could it be that you're the other target we're looking for?
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Cut the nonsense, it's time for you to die! 」 the monster declared.
Several dozen glows of light appeared from its body, forming a natural formation in the void of space — — -
Boom!
A spatial fluctuation erupted from the formation.
In an instant, countless Heavenly Immortals appeared.
These Heaven Immortals filled the sky, surrounding Gu Qing Shan and the monster without leaving a single gap.
From the aura they exuded, almost none of them were as strong as the monster that Gu Qing Shan fought just now.
A Heaven Official stood in the void of space and shouted down: "We've finally caught you, Wraith realm's Saint's Chosen, Gu Qing Shan!"
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
— — the void of space had been completely surrounded, there was nowhere for her to run.
Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: "Are you done?"
「 We're leaving now, don't make a sound 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword's voice resounded in his ears.
Before he could finish, the world disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan felt herself standing in a vast expanse of emptiness.
She couldn't see anything, but she could still hear the sound of wind blowing by her ears.
「 No matter how many people from the Heaven Court come, they won't be able to enter a single place, so I can only send you there, only then will you have a chance to survive 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword replied.
"What place?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The Wraith realm's ruins 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
That's right, I'm the only Saint's Chosen in the entire Wraith realm, no one else from the Reincarnation realm can enter the ruins.
A second later, the emptiness disappeared.
As Gu Qing Shan landed, he found himself standing on top of a jagged mountain range of strange rocks.
「 I've used up all my power, so I'll soon fall into slumber again — – I'll leave this fragment to you as a bit of help 」 the Samsara Delimitation sword said.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the sword fragment in her hand.
Lines of crimson text appeared from the void of space:
[Delimitation sword fragment (2)]
[This fragment has been replenished with power, now contains the unique power: Repel Evil]
[Repel Evil: Repel the target you hit, the distance you can send them flying is determined by your will]
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took out the fragment he obtained from before.
A few more lines of crimson text appeared:
[Delimitation sword fragment (1)]
[This fragment contains the unique power: Deity Keeper]
[Deity Keeper: You can die at any time, until you want to revive]
Deity Keeper, Repel Evil — — -
A mere fragment already possesses such power.
I really can't imagine how powerful this sword would be in its complete state.
Gu Qing Shan picked up the sword fragment and looked at it.
The sword fragment is only about the length of a finger, a bit too short to even make a dagger, so how am I supposed to use it?
While he was thinking, the fragment slowly attached itself to his hand and formed a gauntlet.
This was the second fragment, which contained the power of Repel Evil.
As for the first fragment — — -
Gu Qing Shan tried it a bit and found that the fragment with [Deity Keeper] couldn't be turned into a gauntlet.
"Alright, at least I have another method"
He sighed helplessly.
The Samsara Delimitation sword's voice resounded again: 「 Ah right — — as a reminder, you need to be careful, this place isn't just the ruins of the Wraith realm, it is also the lair of that monster 」
"Monster? What monster? "Gu Qing Shan was confused.
「 Within the Elemental War Grounds, there is a single most powerful monster. It normally sleeps, but occasionally patrols the entire world — — - it kills everything it sees, no one can go against it. Even if all of the Heaven Immortals from before attacked together, they still wouldn't be a match for it 」
「 — — you are currently in its lair 」
Towards the end, the Samsara Delimitation sword's voice became fainter and fainter until it couldn't be heard anymore.
It once again fell into slumber.
