The body of frost opened its eyes, moved its body a bit, then slowly used a technique to change its form, finally manifesting the appearance and body of a man.
— — this was Shroud's appearance.
He casually released a Mirror of Frost and looked at his appearance in it.
"I'm free …"
The man spoke with a bitter voice.
"Congratulations" Gu Qing Shan said.
Shroud turned around and looked at him: "It was fortunate that you used the power of both swords just now, otherwise, I would already be dead"
"We're each other's saviors" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Shroud's expression became tense and said: "The situation is very serious, I need to inform you right away"
"Did you notice something?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, a war that will end everything is about to arrive" Shroud replied solemnly.
At this point, Xuan Tianyi chimed in:
"Oi, your expression and the atmosphere you're creating are quite impressive, but I hope that you can find something to wear first, that would be more convincing"
Shroud looked down to see that he really wasn't wearing anything — —
He glared at Xuan Tianyi, then casually cast a frost technique to put on a white crystal robe.
"At the moment I was being devoured just now, I vaguely saw a certain scene — — - there were countless coffins there, all of them were opening, and the thing sealed inside was becoming restless" Shroud said.
"The Land of No Turning!"
Gu Qing Shan and Xuan Tianyi both exclaimed.
"Seems like it was an evil creature — — I know that they wanted to devour the power of Eternal Destruction, but I didn't think that they had already gained the ability to control the Apocalypse countless years ago" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
Shroud pondered: "It seems that the Apocalypse that I sealed contained a crucial secret of Primal Chaos"
"Because it was sealed by you, the evil creatures had never discovered this secret?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That should be the case" Shroud nodded.
The three of them fell silent.
No wonder there were so many Apocalypses during the Age of Immemorial.
They had always been searching for the frozen corpse.
And now — — -
That thing within the Apocalypse had escaped.
In other words, the evil creatures were about to grasp that crucial secret.
Xuan Tianyi suddenly said: "Stay calm, don't panic"
Gu Qing Shan and Shroud both looked at it.
Xuan Tianyi said, "I've been tricked for countless years. In the end, I thought I had regained my freedom, but it turned out to be a spell of an evil demon that was casually dispelled —"
"Another example would be the Lord of Infinite Origins. Even though he had planned ahead over the eons and finally released the shackles on himself, the Evil Fiend still managed to obtain that Mystery …"
"That's right. What I'm trying to say is that the Evil Demons are very good at scheming, and their methods are also very clever. If we panic now, we definitely won't be their match."
Gu Qing Shan appeared worried and said: "There's already a problem with Huang Quan, my Shifu has to save Su Cher while also thinking of a way to solve this problem — — I'm guessing that the demons have other tricks up their sleeves"
"Indeed, I can already sense it, we don't have much time left" Shroud replied.
"Then let's hurry up." Gu Qing Shan looked at Xuan Tianyi and said, "Let's go to the higher dimension and see what's going on with the Demon Emperor."
"Let's go!"
Rays of light rose from the Xuan Tianyi and manifested into a spell that enveloped both Gu Qing Shan and Shroud.
At the very next moment, they disappeared from the void of space.
…
Outside the void of space.
A certain faraway and unknown location.
The clouds that enveloped this world were dark and heavy, not dispersing even after the passage of countless years.
There were no signs of life on the ground.
Only wind and snow — —
Wind and snow mixed with sand, howling incessantly across heaven and earth.
At a certain point.
A tiny dot of light broke through the dark clouds and slowly descended towards the ground.
Shroud looked down at the ground.
"There's a steeple-shaped ruin over there, it's probably the only intact ruin" he said.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Let's take a look"
The two of them flew forward and quickly arrived in front of the steeple-shaped ruin.
"This stone gate is quite imposing, next time, I want the believers of the human realm to make two of them as well" Shroud commented with interest.
The door was open, and a faintly discernible smell of blood permeated the air.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight entered the ruin and scanned through it, observing the entire ruin.
"There's a sacrificial altar at the deepest part"
"Let's go"
The two of them followed the gate and quickly reached the sacrificial altar.
The sacrificial altar was made from a pile of grey rocks, a tall pillar stood at the center of the altar, engraved on top of it was a closed eye.
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the sacrificial altar and wiped away the ash from the rocks, revealing numerous runes.
"These runes are truly exquisite, containing an extremely profound mystery" Shroud praised.
"Have you seen them before?" Xuan Tianyi asked.
"I haven't" Shroud replied.
"Why are you pretending to be knowledgeable if you haven't seen it before? Let me tell you, these are the words of the Evil Demons. They contain the power of evil. If you really cultivate their techniques, you will become one of them," Xuan Tianyi said.
"Can you understand the meaning of these runes?" Shroud asked.
"I can't" Xuan Tianyi paused briefly before answering.
"You don't know? Why are you saying so much when you don't know? So Emperor Heaven is only at this level "Shroud sighed indifferently.
— — I've finally vented my frustrations, how nice!
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Don't say anymore, these runes actually form a giant pool of energy, used to accumulate a certain source of power"
"How did you know?" Shroud asked in surprise.
"I have the power of the Book of Seabed … so I can understand these things" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He placed both hands on the sacrificial altar.
Gradually, the sacrificial altar began to give off a faint vibrating noise.
Crack crack crack crack — — -
The sacrificial altar slowly unfolded, turning into a flight of stairs that extended downwards.
Gu Qing Shan explained: "This is very hard to open, if you don't do it right, it'll be destroyed"
"How did you open it?" Shroud asked.
"The power of [Myriad Life] was all given to me, this is the proof" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He walked down the stairs, followed by Shroud.
It was completely dark.
The two of them continued to fly down the stairs, quickly reaching the deepest part of the underground.
— — there was only a single blood-stained rock here.
The rock hovered in mid-air, surrounded by endless cliffs.
Gu Qing Shan's figure flew out, circled around in the darkness, then returned.
He shook his head at Shroud, expressing that he didn't find anything.
"And here I thought there would be some fun — — – but this is it?" Shroud shrugged.
"There must have been something in the past … but this place has been sealed, so it'll be very troublesome to track it down …" Xuan Tianyi spoke with a resounding voice.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then drew her Delimitation sword and pointed it at the void of space.
Thaumaturgy, [Reflection]
[Reflection: See everything that happened in the past in this place, see everything that is hidden within the void]
An invisible power began to radiate from the sword.
Images began to appear in the surrounding darkness.
All the images finally converged to display the scene of a certain moment in the past.
The Demon Emperor appeared on the screen.
He was kneeling in front of the rock, begging for his life.
A black statue stood on top of the rock. Only a faint humanoid appearance could be seen from the statue, but it was so crude that it was impossible to discern anything from it.
A voice resounded from the statue: "The appointed time is approaching, but the portion of Origin power that you should have contributed has been lost …"
The Demon Emperor trembled and gritted his teeth: "Endure it a bit longer, I'm only here to hide for a bit, I'll return to the void and continue searching for the one who stole all of my power"
The statue moaned: "Hungry … so hungry … hurry up and go, or I'll eat you"
The Demon Emperor stood up and said: "I'll go now"
As he was about to leave, the statue suddenly called out again: "Wait a minute!"
"What is it?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"Just now … there were already 5 Saints, you won't make it"
The statue chanted an eerie and cryptic incantation.
Hearing the incantation, the Demon Emperor walked step by step in front of the statue and knelt down.
"Fortunately, we have a backup plan, there are alternate methods to obtain all types of power … and your portion …"
The statue reached its hand out, pressed it against the top of the Demon Emperor's head, then forcefully stabbed it down.
The Demon Emperor instantly turned into a mass of struggling flesh and was absorbed into the statue's body.
All that was left on the rock was a puddle of blood.
"… You'll have to contribute to me in the end"
The statue finally said.
It turned around and walked step by step into the darkness of nothingness.
The darkness parted to reveal the scene of another world — — -
It was a world filled with countless coffins.
Countless coffins had already been opened.
Various evil creatures noticed the statue's appearance and quickly knelt down.
Not too long after, all the evil creatures in this world were alerted.
They silently knelt in front of the coffins to welcome the statue's return.
Gu Qing Shan immediately saw the extremely strange creature — — - a monster with nine insect faces!
Without a doubt, this must be the master of the Thousand Spirit Decoy technique!
But …
It also knelt down, its nine faces displaying a twisted expression of devotion and madness.
Seeing this, the statue muttered: 「 Finally, it's time to reap the harvest … 」
「 The Higher Dimension worlds shall prostrate themselves at my feet — — - and the void and Primal Chaos as well! 」
It slowly walked into the No Turning Land.
