Waves of darkness surged.
The entire world became dim, turning into chaotic sprites of light that flowed around Gu Qing Shan and Dragon God's bodies.
— — the Aspect World had disappeared.
"How are you feeling?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm fine" Dragon God rubbed his wrist to relieve the pain.
He glanced at Gu Qing Shan without anyone noticing, only to see him standing still, as if he wasn't hurt at all.
— — even the broken armor on his body was healing at a visible rate.
Dragon God couldn't help but silently praise him in his mind.
What a good Demon Emperor, he really is an expert that can stand on equal footing with me!
Gu Qing Shan didn't know what Dragon God was thinking, so she pondered: "Just now, what did this Aspect World want to do by trapping us here?"
"Probably some sort of test, if we couldn't block that attack just now, we would've died" Dragon God replied.
The clouds scattered.
The stone path led straight into the darkness of the void without an end in sight.
"From the looks of it, you're probably right" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Let's go!"
The two of them continued to move and flew forward.
A few dozen seconds later.
The clouds on both sides of the path suddenly gathered again.
Countless images appeared from within the clouds, turning into the sun, moon, stars, as well as the mountains and rivers of the earth.
"This kind of world evolution method is almost impossible to avoid" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"We can still run if we want to, but I suspect that once we do, we won't be able to move forward anymore" Dragon God commented.
They stood still, silently waiting for the world to evolve.
A few moments later.
The scenery around them became clear.
They found themselves in the middle of a mountain range.
The mountain path was rugged, the sound of flowing water could be heard ahead.
The two of them casually walked forward, seeing flowers all over the place, as well as a lush green temple in the middle of the mountain.
There was only an old monk in the temple, as he saw the two of them, he invited them to sit down and poured them some tea: "This cold temple is located in the middle of a lonely mountain, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone, but you two have come today, please stay for a moment"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "No one has been here before?"
The old monk smiled warmly and replied: "There have been, but those who have come before need not come again, those who have come in the future will definitely arrive here first"
Dragon God stared at the old monk and spoke in a low voice: "No need to say anything else, I know you are the spirit of this world, what will it take for you to let us go?"
The old monk clasped his hand: "Amitabha, if you can take one palm of mine, of your Dao, you, you can head to the peak of the mountain, if you want, you can go to a Daoist temple and leave"
Dragon God and Gu Qing Shan.
"Monk, didn't you say? Dao?" Why is there a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain? "The Dragon God asked in doubt.
"Dao Qing, the temple is not of God." Dao of "
"Monk, have you ever been to a Daoist temple?" Dragon God asked again.
"Amitabha, when the weather is good, I will occasionally go there to have my fortune read" the old monk clasped his hands together.
Dragon God stared at the old monk for a while before saying: "Please strike"
The old monk smiled: "There's no rush, I still have something to ask before I strike"
Dragon God replied: "Go ahead"
"— — -it's better to ask this benefactor next to you first, benefactor, how many people have you killed?" the old monk asked.
"Too many to count" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The old monk lowered his head and spoke in a low voice: "Very well, then this palm strike you will have to endure …"
A split second later.
The scenery around them changed.
Gu Qing Shan felt herself standing in mid-air, below her was an extremely grand and solemn temple. There wasn't a single person inside, only the sound of crying and begging could be heard from the void of space.
"Amitabha"
An earth-shattering voice resounded from above.
Only to see that the old monk was looking down, his entire body was giving off an extremely solemn golden glow.
Gu Qing Shan sensed something and abruptly looked down, only to find that she was standing on the old monk's palm!
"This palm strike is the result of the sins you've committed — — -"
The old monk flipped his palm over and slammed Gu Qing Shan to the ground.
Countless destructive auras exuded from his palm, manifesting as countless wailing wraiths that coiled around Gu Qing Shan, preventing her from moving.
The palm was giving off a dignified Sanskrit chant, but it made Gu Qing Shan feel a sense of death.
Without any time to think, Gu Qing Shan could only cross her arms in front of her chest, preparing to block this violent strike.
A loud sound of impact — — -
Gu Qing Shan crashed through the floorboards and was smashed into the ground, falling all the way down until a bottomless crater was formed.
At the very next moment.
The old monk's voice resounded in her ears: "You're still alive? That's almost impossible … unless … "
He didn't continue.
Gu Qing Shan only felt her consciousness wavering a bit before her body was pulled out from the ground by some sort of force, landing on an empty ground.
He took a few deep breaths and looked around.
Only to find that she was already at the top of the mountain, with a Daoist temple behind her.
— — as long as I have my fortune told in this Daoist temple, I can leave.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the armor on her body and couldn't help but ask: "Thank you for protecting me just now, right, are you ok?"
Crack!
The armor quickly fell off and crumbled to dust.
Gu Qing Shan opened her eyes wide.
Dead, dead?
— — did Demon Emperor die just like that?
While he was at a loss for what to do, Demon Emperor's grunt resounded in his ears:
"That palm strike just now … was too powerful …"
The dust on the ground quickly flew back to Gu Qing Shan's body, turning back into Demon Emperor armor.
Kih!
Gu Qing Shan flicked the armor with her hand, only to notice that it seemed to have become a bit brittle.
「 Don't! I still haven't fully recovered!
」 Demon Emperor's will shouted at the top of her lungs.
Gu Qing Shan nodded sympathetically and said: "It's all thanks to you these two times, I'm really sorry about that"
「 Hurry, let's go take a look at that Daoist temple 」 Demon Emperor's will said.
Gu Qing Shan followed him into the Daoist temple, only to see a fox sitting inside with a bunch of copper coins in front of him.
"Fortune telling?" the fox asked.
"Can I leave this place after I'm done?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course you can, as long as you don't get a bad divination" the fox smiled and said, squinting his eyes.
He pointed at the copper coins and gestured for Gu Qing Shan to pick them all up.
Gu Qing Shan did as he said.
"Alright, now throw the coins" the fox said.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand.
Clink clink clink — — -
The copper coins fell to the ground, bounced around and gave off a crisp clink.
A few moments later.
The coins all stuck to the ground and stopped moving.
"Ah … seems like your sin of taking lives is quite severe … you won't be able to live" the fox pointed at the coins.
The two words "Great Calamity" appeared on all the sides of the copper coins that were facing upwards.
At the very next moment — —
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a bit dazed, then flew up into the sky.
He turned around and saw that he was still wearing the Devil Emperor's Armor, standing in the same spot without moving.
My soul left my body?
While he was thinking, he suddenly disappeared into the clouds.
The surroundings were covered in a vast white fog.
Suddenly, lines of crimson text appeared and hovered in place:
[Attention!]
[Your soul has been drawn into the Ten Thousand Immortals 9 Turn Killing Spirit Formation and entered the Gate of Death]
[The current you will be the real you]
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "What about the Demon Emperor's will? Does it know anything? "
[It doesn't, this formation only allows spirits to enter; and the Demon Emperor is still using it as armor to protect you] the highest-ranking Beyonder replied.
— — it wasn't exposed!
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and couldn't help but look around.
There's fog everywhere, how am I going to return to my body?
While she was thinking, the fox appeared again.
This time, it turned into a bewitching woman who stared straight at Gu Qing Shan and said:
[Your sin of killing has reached an extreme level, I can't let you go]
"Not even a chance?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The woman smiled and replied: "This was once the strongest spirit formation in the world, once it is activated, it will summon the spirits that are bound to you — — - if no spirits come to help you, you will immediately be destroyed by this killing formation"
"Perhaps a spirit will come to help me" Gu Qing Shan said.
[They won't, because no evil spirits can enter this formation, only good spirits can. And with how heavy your sin of killing is, I don't think any good spirits will come to your aid]
She threw a coin out.
[This formation has been activated, the Great Edge of Fate is about to manifest, which means that your soul has reached its end]
Kih!
The coin fell to the ground.
The fog scattered to reveal a giant blade that pierced through the sky.
This blade was stained with black blood, exuding an endless sense of ferocity as soon as it appeared.
The giant blade slowly descended towards Gu Qing Shan's head.
[This formation has always been able to kill anyone of unknown origins, no matter how strong you are, you will still have to swallow the pain of your karma]
The woman coldly glared at Gu Qing Shan, then turned around to leave.
Suddenly — — -
A blurred figure appeared next to Gu Qing Shan.
These figures slowly gathered to form the outline of a little girl.
"Hmph, he won't die, I'll help him!" the little girl swung her fist and declared.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the little girl and felt that she looked a bit familiar.
He suddenly remembered that when he first gained the ability to see the Phase Worlds, he received the help of this little girl and a few other spirits.
More and more figures appeared one after another.
Countless spirits appeared from the void of space.
— — -there were even incarnations of worlds.
These broken worlds of the past all appeared from the void of space around Gu Qing Shan, tightly surrounding him.
These spirits gathered together and roared at the giant blade in the sky.
"You cannot kill him!"
"You are not allowed to do anything to him, he once saved our world!"
"He once saved my family, saved our entire race, even if we turn into spirits, we will still stand by his side!"
"Even if he has committed murder, we will bear it for him!"
The giant blade slowly stopped in the air, seemingly hesitant.
Watching this, Gu Qing Shan slowly recalled what the master of the Blood Sea Heroic Spirit Palace once told him — — -
"… When you fought against the Apocalypse, there were billions of heroic spirits secretly helping you from the void of space … but you couldn't see them"
"Furthermore, after you entered this city, countless good spirits fought alongside you, that's why you were able to escape from danger several times. Of course, this was also because of your own superb fighting skills …"
While he was thinking, a supernatural phenomenon had appeared.
A vast sea of blood descended from the depths of the distant clouds.
The blood pillar connected heaven and earth, giving off a resounding 'wu wu' sound in every direction.
Boom boom boom boom boom — — -
Waves of water began to rise from the sea of blood.
Starting from the blood giant, more and more Blood Sea Realm Spirits appeared.
And then, an indescribable presence began to surge within the sea of blood — — -
As if something was about to appear.
