The remains of the armor flew up from the ground, turning into tentacles that coiled around Gu Qing Shan's hand.
The voice of the Demon Emperor's will resounded: 「 From now on, I shall become your weapon 」
"Then what about defense?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Don't worry, as a weapon, I can also block attacks 」 the Demon Emperor's will replied.
The tentacles slowly turned into tattoos that stuck to Gu Qing Shan's hand, finally turning into a long rod.
「 As a weapon, I can also use related skills 」 the Demon Emperor's will replied.
— — that's a bit too much. Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: "Alright, a weapon is fine, but I'm not an expert at using a rod"
A sharp blade appeared at the tip of the rod.
"A spear? I've never used a spear before "Gu Qing Shan replied.
The spear thought for a bit, then slowly changed its form, turning into a halberd.
Gu Qing Shan said: "You must have thought of this when you saw the golden-armored man's weapon from before — — - but I've always been using gauntlets, how about you turn into a gauntlet?"
「 I can't, the Thunder Fury Gauntlet you're wearing already contains my power, so my main body can only turn into another weapon 」 the Demon Emperor's will replied.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Then you can turn into a shorter weapon"
"You want a shorter one?"
"Yes"
The halberd retracted and turned into a dagger as long as a finger.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the dagger in her hand and blankly said: "Forget about a fruit knife, you can grow a bit longer"
The dagger quickly grew longer and turned into a sword.
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat, but her expression didn't change: "I don't like using swords"
I've been using swords for my entire life, so as soon as I have a sword in my hand, a lot of things will unknowingly reveal themselves.
Not to mention, I'm currently creating a path of sword cultivation, so if I have a sword in my hand, some unexpected things might happen.
— — I can't let the Demon Emperor turn into a sword!
「 Why not? A swordsman's mind is cunning and full of changes. I think it suits you, "Demon Emperor's will said.
"I'm not fierce enough, I need to be a bit braver in battle" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Sure."
The shape of the sword changed slightly, turning into a long saber with a sharp edge.
— Knife.
He knew a little, but he wasn't very proficient in it.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said, "That's all. What saber skills can you teach me?"
「 No, not to teach you, but to fight for you when the time is right — — you will know when the time comes 」 the will of the Demon Emperor spoke mysteriously.
A line of scarlet words flashed before Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
"Pay attention."
"When you use the Demon Emperor weapon, it will automatically release a powerful attack skill."
— Alright, I see.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all and told the will of the Demon Emperor: "Alright, we need to be careful from now on, this stone path isn't normal"
「 Indeed, I've only just awakened not too long ago … my power still isn't that great, that's why I chose a cautious and cunning fellow like yourself as my companion … 」 the will of the Demon Emperor replied.
"I wonder when Dragon God will come out"
Gu Qing Shan stood still and waited for a while.
The void of space suddenly moved.
Dragon God staggered as he landed on the stone path, saw Gu Qing Shan right away, and appeared surprised.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: "I didn't think Dragon God would have a way to fool that spirit formation as well"
Dragon God instantly gave up on asking and muttered: "It really isn't easy"
He didn't continue on this topic and instead said: "Let's go, we need to hurry up and catch up to the previous Emperor Of Heaven"
Gu Qing Shan tacitly skipped the previous topic and said: "That's right, let's go"
— — an entity like Dragon God naturally didn't want to let the Demon Emperor know about his true strength and means.
Sure enough, as soon as I spoke, Dragon God didn't mention what happened just now in order to hide it.
If Dragon God didn't mention it, the will of the Demon Emperor naturally wouldn't know about what happened just now, so it wouldn't be able to estimate the extent of the attack Gu Qing Shan received from the spirit formation.
The two of them moved and continued to fly forward along the stone path.
A few dozen seconds later.
Thick fog once again appeared around the path.
These fog constantly moved, converged, and manifested into the scenery of the world.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan and Dragon God had already experienced this, so they stood still and silently waited for the world to complete its transformation.
"We've been traveling at full speed, why haven't we caught up to the previous Emperor Of Heaven yet?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Dragon God replied: "Perhaps we're about to catch up to him"
The world slowly manifested.
The two of them saw a certain figure.
— — -the previous Emperor Of Heaven!
His figure leapt into the sky, broke through the void of space under the illumination of countless rays of light, and headed towards the outside of this world.
In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
"He just left" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
"We need to quickly pass through this world — — -" Dragon God said.
The two of them hurriedly looked around, only to find that they were standing outside a grand city.
The walls of the city were engraved with innumerable runes, all of which were connected to form a formation that gave off heavenly light.
A group of cultivators landed in front of the two of them. The leader shouted: "Who are the challengers?"
Gu Qing Shan and Dragon God exchanged glances.
"This humble one is Li Jiu"
"… Yu Bai"
Hearing that, the man nodded: "One of you is a Blade user, the other is an technique cultivator, correct?"
"Correct"
"Good, the Blade user takes this talisman, the technique cultivator takes the other one"
Two talismans flew into their hands.
"Go!" the cultivator shouted.
The talisman gave off a faint glow that carried the two of them into the sky, quickly heading towards the city.
Dragon God glanced at Gu Qing Shan from the sky and sent his voice: "Whoever of us gets out first will chase after the previous Emperor Of Heaven, we have to stop him!"
"I'll try to be as fast as possible" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"The one who lags behind must quickly catch up and kill him together" Dragon God said.
"Got it"
The two streaks of light split apart and headed towards different directions.
…
Gu Qing Shan landed in the middle of the city.
He looked around, only to see that there was no one on the streets, only him standing in the middle of the empty street.
A talisman floated towards him from afar and spoke:
[The first Ascension trial has begun]
[This trial will first test whether or not your armor can withstand the baptism of war]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Hoh — —
The Demon Emperor's will whispered in his ear. He seemed to have sighed in relief.
He then muttered: [As an armor, it's too dangerous … from now on, I need to be careful to avoid such situations …]
Gu Qing Shan told the talisman: "I'm sorry, I don't have an armor"
The talisman froze and asked in surprise: [That can't be right, you did have an armor before]
"Yes, but my armor was broken" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Then what else do you have?] the talisman asked.
Gu Qing Shan instinctively raised the Blade in his hand.
The air suddenly became silent.
The Blade: "…"
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
The talisman's voice resounded again:
[The first Ascension trial has begun]
[This trial will first test whether or not your weapon can withstand the baptism of war]
As soon as the talisman finished, the entire street lit up. Countless runes manifested from the ground and turned into another Blade that slashed towards Gu Qing Shan!
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but raise his Blade — — -
"Very well, I'll show them how powerful I am!" the Demon Emperor's will declared.
The two blades fiercely collided with each other, erupting with a thunderous explosion.
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps back.
The long saber in his hand was intact, while the rune saber opposite him had shattered into pieces.
"Did I pass?"
Gu Qing Shan asked the talisman.
The talisman replied: [No, this is only the beginning — — -]
The runes on the ground quickly manifested into three Blades that slashed towards Gu Qing Shan like streaks of light.
Clang! Clang! Clang — — -
The technique, strength, and Thaumaturgy of these three Blades were all different, but all of them were incredibly ingenious. The Demon Emperor Blade in Gu Qing Shan's hand was sent flying.
At the very next moment.
Rune weapons manifested from the ground of the entire street, turning into millions of them that chased after the Demon Emperor Blade.
Clang clang clang clang clang — — -
An airtight collision sound was heard, and the long saber was struck in a beautiful parabola, flying far into the sky.
Seeing the Blade flying far away, the talisman's tone softened and spoke: [We've already sensed your ring, so we knew that you were wearing a suit of armor, but it turned into a weapon instead — – now take out your ring]
Gu Qing Shan took out the green jade ring as told.
Runes manifested from the void of space, manifested on the ring, then slowly faded away.
[Alright, the people behind will know that the weapon in your hand isn't an ally] the talisman told her.
Gu Qing Shan put the ring away and clasped her fist: "Since you sent that guy away, is there something you want to tell me?"
[Of course there is — — you want to go to the No Turning Land, right?] the talisman asked.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan admitted it.
[I can sense that you're currently creating a Path, which is worthy of praise — — - but you definitely can't stay in the No Turning Land for too long, otherwise, when something awakens, you won't be able to leave] the talisman told her.
"How long can I stay?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[15 minutes, after all, your Path hasn't been fully established, 15 minutes is the longest you can stay, you definitely can't exceed that amount of time] the talisman told her.
"Understood … then what other trials do I have to face here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[You're an ally, why would I need to test you? But that Blade of yours is very troublesome, it carries the power of a Path, I can hurt it, but I can't kill it] the talisman was troubled.
"It's fine, let it come back, I'll take it to the other side of the road" Gu Qing Shan said.
"That's too fake. It's impossible for you to pass all the tests of my Talisman of the Immortal City in one go. It's better to stay for a while before taking it back." The talisman suggested.
Only then did Gu Qing Shan realize that the entire city was transformed from this talisman.
He looked around at the ground.
Runes continuously emerged from the ground and turned into weapons that flew into the sky.
The Demon Emperor's will would probably have to endure countless attacks …
As Gu Qing Shan thought about it, she activated her telepathy to connect with the Demon Emperor's will.
In an instant, countless voices filled his sea of consciousness.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
They seemed to be fighting fiercely.
At this rate, it would probably take some time.
"Alright, I'll wait here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Come with me, I'll take you to have a cup of spirit tea and rest up] the talisman floated towards a certain direction.
"Then I'll have to trouble you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"No need to be so polite, come"
"Alright"
