The city where all Saint Chosens had chosen to reside.
The Heavenly Emperor entered the Heavenly Court first, and Gu Qing Shan followed him into Starry Sky City.
Everything was ready.
A gust of wind abruptly swept across the ground.
Shan Hai Qi Xia and the Tomb of Myriad Beasts' Saint Chosens arrived next to Gu Qing Shan.
"It's about to begin" Shan Hai Qi Xia muttered.
"That's right, I can already sense that the seal outside the great tomb is loosening" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Within the Heavenly Court – Starry Sky Twin Cities, all the Saint Chosens looked outside.
Rumble — — rumble — — rumble — — -
The gloomy Tomb River on the ground slowly began to give off a low roar.
The flow of water began to rise, causing a thick fog to fill the river.
The fog drifted into the air, slowly condensing into a single object — —
It was a giant skull with long cheeks.
A bit different from a human's, its cheeks were too long, which made it look extremely eerie.
As soon as the skull manifested, the entire river seemed to have come to life.
With it as the center, countless strange and unusual entities began to emerge from the gloomy river. All of them were panicking and trying to escape from the skull.
"It's that thing!" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.
"You've seen it before?" Li Yang asked in a low voice.
On top of the Starry Sky Twin Cities, the other Saint Chosens all turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan didn't hide anything and explained: "I've encountered it once in the past. It was a true Apocalypse, once it sees you, the Laws of Space and Time would no longer be able to exist on your body. You would enter eternal blankness, only death would give you a chance to escape"
Hearing that, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The long-cheeked skull slowly floated along the river. Everything in its line of sight turned into emptiness.
Nothing could stop its gaze.
How exactly can such an Apocalypse be dealt with?
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I've already thought about it, as long as it doesn't see me, there's still hope for survival — — that's why the entities in the river have all run away"
While she said that, the skull looked towards the twin cities.
Following its line of sight, countless blanks began to appear on the river and land, and it looked like it was about to reach the twin cities!
In an instant, the page in front of Gu Qing Shan suddenly emitted a brilliant light.
A line of small words appeared on the page:
"Everything is about to begin."
The pages of the book flew up into the sky and released layers of light that enveloped the entire Starry Sky City.
On the other side, within the Heavenly Court, a page also flew up, releasing countless rays of light, enveloping the entire Heavenly Court.
Two cities with completely different styles stood in the wilderness.
One was surrounded by countless clouds, and celestial music could be heard. It was filled with a divine aura.
The other one was made of steel. It was pitch-black and looked exceptionally cold and solemn.
There was a distance of several hundred meters between the two cities, but they were both under the protection of the pages.
The long-cheeked skull looked at the twin cities for a while. Everything in its path was completely destroyed by it.
However, its gaze was blocked by the layer of light emitted by the pages, unable to harm the Chosen Ones in the two cities.
The long-cheeked skull gradually lost interest and retracted its gaze.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the long-cheeked skull finally went past the twin cities and continued forward along the river.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "My Merit is decreasing!"
"Mine as well!"
"Why is it happening to me as well!"
Everyone screamed in horror.
Gu Qing Shan had a thought.
Could it be — –
He looked at the page of the book. Sure enough, there were lines of explanation on it.
— – the twin cities can stop the Apocalypse, but it costs everyone's Merit.
At this point, more and more people realized this and looked at the page of the book.
Very quickly, everyone understood what was going on.
That's right, the twin cities can stop the Apocalypse, but it costs everyone's Merit equally.
Then what if someone's Merit is depleted?
Quite a few people silently thought to themselves.
"Ah!!!"
All of a sudden, a fearful scream resounded.
One of the Chosen Ones seemed to have been struck by something as he was sent flying out of Starry Sky City, landing on the barren ground far away.
"Damn it, I just don't have enough Merit, I, I'm going to earn more Merit right now!"
The person angrily declared before following the river deeper into the tombs.
Everyone went silent.
After a moment of silence, the person slowly went deeper into the tombs and couldn't be seen anymore.
At this point, the page of the book hovering above the city once again began to vibrate.
It was transmitting a single thought to everyone — — -
The City Lord of the twin cities could now choose to open up a certain function of the city.
The page of the book continued to release its thoughts, directly transmitting a piece of information into each Chosen Ones' Thought Sea.
— — the page of the book was the manifestation of the rules of the entire city, not only could it view the rules of the city, but it could also view the rules of the Heavenly Court on the other side.
In other words, the rules and functions of the twin cities couldn't be hidden from any Chosen Ones.
Just now, the Heavenly Court on the other side had already opened up its first city function — —
[Beginner-level limited long-range bombardment]
[Description: Gather the power of the entire city's Chosen Ones and unleash a single attack, anything that is destroyed will turn into pure Origin power to increase the Heavenly Court's overall evolution]
[— — this is the Heavenly City's basic attack ability, able to attack any target]
[Usable once per day]
Since the Heavenly Court had activated such a powerful city function, the Chosen Ones of starry sky city were all anxious.
"What function does our city have?"
"— — Nothing"
"What function hasn't been unlocked yet?"
"I'm not sure"
"Perhaps the City Lord is still choosing"
"That's the only explanation …"
The Chosen Ones stood in starry sky city, discussing among themselves.
The two cities had always been competing against each other.
Now that one city had suddenly obtained a weapon, the people of the other city naturally felt uneasy.
— — -everyone wanted to know what kind of city function the City Lord of starry sky would choose.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied: "We have more people, so we can manifest a bit more abilities than the Heavenly Court. It hasn't been fully manifested yet, so I'm still waiting for the Samsara to give me a choice"
Hearing that, everyone felt a bit helpless. But this was something that couldn't be helped, aside from waiting, there was nothing else they could do.
Suddenly, someone yelled loudly,
"My god!"
"They've entered attack mode!"
"Look!"
"Have the people of the Heavenly Court gone mad?"
The Chosen Ones stood in starry sky city, looking towards the Heavenly Court.
Only to see a gigantic offensive formation manifesting in the void of space outside the Heavenly Court.
The runes on this offensive formation slowly lit up, exuding a terrifying and ferocious presence.
A gigantic figure manifested at the center of the formation.
— — -it was a 5-clawed golden dragon-shaped siege hammer, only a bit smaller than the twin cities.
"Aaaaah, it's attacking!"
Someone shouted.
As soon as the siege hammer manifested, it gradually sped up and struck the starry sky city in the blink of an eye.
The ground trembled.
The entire starry sky city resounded with a deafening sound of metal clashing.
Quite a few components directly broke off from the starry sky city, turned into pure Samsara Origin in the air, and flew into the Heavenly Court.
The heavenly light around the Heavenly Court became a bit more intense.
"The Samsara still hasn't given us a choice? If they keep attacking the starry sky city like this every day, the city will be destroyed by them sooner or later! "Li Yang loudly declared.
"I'm here!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — he could already sense the will of the Samsara.
Several choices appeared in his Thought Sea, as soon as he made a decision, the entire starry sky city would immediately unlock one of these functions.
At this point, no one said anything else.
Everyone remained silent, afraid that they would disturb him.
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and silently checked the choices.
There weren't that many choices, only a few.
Among these choices, one of them was the Heavenly Court's function — — - [Early-level limited long-range bombardment]
But this was only an Early-level ability.
Since the population of the starry sky city was greater than the Heavenly Court, the total amount of Merit they had was even greater, so there was also an intermediate ability among the Early-level abilities.
After a brief check, Gu Qing Shan chose this ability.
Above the starry sky city, the pages of the book began to vibrate.
It was telling all the Saint's Chosen that the starry sky city's function was about to be unlocked — —
[Intermediate Law: City Concealment]
[Description: By gathering everyone's Merit, the entire starry sky city will disappear into the void of space, no entity will be able to discover or attack the starry sky city]
[— — -this is the intermediate defensive ability of the starry sky city]
[Can be used once per day]
While the Saint's Chosen were reading, the Heavenly Court's side was already laughing wildly.
The Emperor Of Heaven's voice resounded from afar:
"Gu Qing Shan, are you really that stupid, or are you pretending to be?"
"So what if you have such a concealment ability?"
"— — -how do you know when I'll attack tomorrow? And how do you happen to use such a defensive ability? "
"Are you going to stay in the city from now on, constantly on guard against my attacks? Ahahahaha! "
"Just you wait, you can bring those traitors of the Heavenly Court along with you to their deaths in despair!"
The Emperor Of Heaven's voice slowly faded away.
Inside the starry sky city, everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan.
— — -in truth, the fact that this guy called Gu Qing Shan was able to establish a Heavenly City like the Emperor Of Heaven had already proven that he wasn't a simple person.
Since the Saint's Chosen were able to make it this far, they naturally understood this as well.
No one said anything and simply looked at Gu Qing Shan.
He was the City Lord.
He had to prove to everyone that his choice was the right one.
— — that way, the morale of the entire starry sky city wouldn't fall.
Gu Qing Shan naturally understood the meaning of everyone's gazes.
He turned to Li Yang and asked: "Do you have anything that you don't need — – preferably something that's especially heavy"
Li Yang thought for a bit, then showed a strange expression.
"Your second brother … gave me a super jade tag, it's a secret technique for female cultivators to maintain their beauty … especially heavy"
"Ah? Take it out "Gu Qing Shan said.
Li Yang took out a jade tag.
— — -what kind of jade tag is this? It's clearly a pure-white brick.
Gu Qing Shan received the brick and weighed it in his hand. Sure enough, it was very heavy.
He couldn't help but praise: "Second brother's jade tag technique seems to have improved, in the past, this many scriptures would require a mountain-sized jade tag to contain"
Li Yang worriedly asked: "What … do you plan to do now? After all, the concealment ability you chose doesn't seem to be able to stop the Heavenly Court's attack … "
"Who said I'm going to defend?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Li Yang was surprised.
Everyone else was also surprised.
Li Yang couldn't help but ask: "Then you're going to — — -"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm a sword cultivator, and I know a bit about archery, so I have some experience with long-range attacks, so just watch — — -"
He held the brick in his hand and took a deep breath.
He began to jog, then slowly picked up speed until he reached the end of the deck of the warship, only then did he swing his arm with all his might.
— — -a full-power throw!!!
In a split second, he threw the brick away.
The crowd watched as the brick arced through the air in a beautiful arc, heading downstream of the Tomb River.
Bam!
From afar, a dull sound of impact could be heard.
The brick struck the back of the skull — — -
Leaving a white mark on it!!!
The long-cheeked skull was dumbfounded.
It had already left the place where the Twin Cities were and was flowing downstream.
But now.
Someone — — -
Someone — — -
Dared to attack it from behind?
The skull had traveled the Tomb River for so long, but this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
— — -it was too familiar with everything around it, the only thing that could cause a problem was that building that appeared out of nowhere!
I only let you go because I was bored, and you dared to ambush me?
「 Arghhhhh! 」
The long-cheeked skull let out an enraged roar and turned its head to look in the direction of the Twin Cities.
At almost the same time — —
Gu Qing Shan casually spoke: "The city vanishes"
Bam!
Among the twin cities, the starry sky city disappeared.
Only a single city remained, standing by itself on the banks of the Tomb River.
The Heavenly Court!
The skull charged toward the Heavenly Court with an unstoppable aura!!!
This time, it was clearly using its full power. Boundless emptiness radiated from its body, destroying everything around it.
Silence filled the night sky.
The Heavenly Court — — -
Having already used a limited [Early-level] long-range attack, other than taking it head-on, it had no other way to retaliate.
At least not today.
Then its fate …
All of a sudden, the Emperor Of Heaven's furious voice resounded:
「 Gu Qing Shan, you sly little thief, show yourself! “
「 What kind of skill is that!? 」
「 If you have the guts, come out and face the Apocalypse with me! 」
His voice echoed in the night sky, echoing far away.
The void of space remained silent.
No response.
