Time quickly rewound.
The Suspended world.
Guang Yang sect.
"Go, hold them off, I need to understand them a bit more" Wang Hong Dao ordered.
"Yes"
Zhao Wu Chui clenched the crimson gauntlet on his hand, then leapt forward to face Gu Qing Shan and Shannu.
All of a sudden, the world turned dark.
The scenery of the entire world turned into dust that scattered into the darkness of the void.
Wang Hong Dao exclaimed in shock: "Such power, what exactly is — — -"
Boom!!!
A man clad in black-scaled armor descended and clashed with a Sword Qi that was unfathomably long.
"I've seen your swordsmanship before!" the man declared.
He stopped the sword phantom with one hand, then threw a punch with the other to send the sword phantom flying.
As the two of them clashed, everyone and the world around them were shattered into nothingness by the shockwaves.
From the void of space, the River of Time manifested.
The sword phantom landed on top of the river, took a detour in a certain direction, then plunged into a certain piece of history.
Dugu Feng was a bit surprised: "You ran away? I almost forgot, you're very good at running away … "
The Age of Old.
On the battlefield.
The Soul Shrieker was about to let out a scream that echoed across the entire battlefield — — -
A figure abruptly appeared.
Gu Qing Shan.
As soon as he took a few breaths, the entire world was reduced to nothingness.
All monsters, cultivators, and even the Soul Shrieker were destroyed.
Grey snakes with human heads appeared from the void of space, quickly charging towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze was indifferent as intense sword phantoms appeared around her body.
As soon as the snakes were hit by the sword phantoms, they were struck so many times that they slowly turned into bones, then dust.
As the wind blew, the dust turned into mist in the void of space.
Dugu Feng stood within the mist, walking forward step by step.
He clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Qing Shan from afar: "Swordsmanship combined with the [Destruction Order]? That's all there is to it — — - in truth, there were already four Apostles of Primal Chaos before you, but they all failed, the rest of you will only ever reach this level "
Gu Qing Shan was displeased: "You're looking down on the apostles."
"You can't blame me, it's just that your strength is only at this level — — no matter if it's the Era's Apostle or the Echelon's Apostle, none of them are a match for me" Dugu Feng said.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly said, "Since you look down on the apostles, why did you turn Dugu Feng into a heretic?"
Dugu Feng revealed a faint smile and said: "You think I overestimated him? No, he knelt before me and begged me, hoping that I could accept his body and soul. "
"I don't believe it" Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
Layers of destructive runes surged out of his body and surrounded him like a tide.
Boundless power of destruction!
At the same time, the four flames behind him entered his body and fused with the destructive aura.
Gu Qing Shan's entire body began to transform into a blazing humanoid sword aura.
Dugu Feng silently watched and mused: "That's right, you're the first Echelon to wield the full power of Primal Chaos, so you're qualified to fight me, but first — — -"
The giant corpse manifested behind him, slowly looked up at the River of Time with a flash of lightning in its eyes.
The river began to expand in the void of space.
The sword phantom manifested as Gu Qing Shan. Looking down at the river below, the river had already turned into a boundless ocean.
"The true Law of Space-Time would only manifest as the boundless ocean of Time, a single river wouldn't be able to represent the power of Space-Time" Dugu Feng replied.
The phantom of a giant corpse manifested behind him.
Black scales peeled off from the corpse's armor, turning into numerous spells that shot towards Gu Qing Shan.
"Gu Qing Shan, the flow of time has been expanded endlessly, you will no longer be able to find those familiar moments in history, and there is no place to escape to!"
The giant corpse's voice resounded across the River of Time.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer.
He looked down at the True Ancient Demon King Armor on his body.
— — -the entire armor had been completely destroyed, unable to be repaired.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took off the other armor from his body, ignored the sound of the armor, and threw it into the Sea of Time.
After doing that, Gu Qing Shan clenched her swords again and spoke: "I now understand"
"What is it?" the giant corpse asked.
"I am a technique that destroys everything, any defensive armor would shatter on contact with me, this is a hidden inevitability within Causality" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The giant corpse replied: "You seem to understand more and more, unfortunately …"
Boundless evil magic drowned out its voice, crushing down on Gu Qing Shan's head with unstoppable force.
Gu Qing Shan dodged a bit, then turned into a sword phantom that pierced through the wall of demonic techniques in the blink of an eye.
The sword phantom flashed and disappeared.
Through the endless void of space, it slashed straight towards the giant corpse.
"You want to fight me head-on?" Dugu Feng coldly smirked.
The giant corpse's faint figure disappeared without a trace. Dugu Feng roared and received the sword phantom head-on.
Boom!!!
Both sides clashed.
The sword phantom turned into Gu Qing Shan, wielding a sword in each hand, slashing at Dugu Feng's neck.
Dugu Feng smirked: "Just because — — -"
Before he finished, four blinding pillars of light suddenly shot out from Gu Qing Shan's back.
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind!
As soon as the power of the four Laws manifested, Dugu Feng's pupils dilated and hurriedly threw a punch.
Gu Qing Shan turned into a blurred image as he was sent flying, tumbling a few hundred meters on the ocean of Time before finally regaining his balance.
He raised his swords again, took a deep breath, and assumed a defensive stance.
The four banners behind him fluttered in the wind.
The power of the past 4 Eras were all gathered on his body!
In the air.
Dugu Feng rubbed his neck as he looked down at it.
A hand full of blood.
"I have to admit, the Law of Void, Causality, Space-Time, and [Omniscient] are the four strongest Saint Powers among living beings — — - but that's it, they've all lost to me" Dugu Feng casually said.
"Is that so?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He raised his sword, which was still stained with Dugu Feng's blood.
He put his hand on the blood — — -
Thaumaturgy, [Universe Origin Spirit Summon]!
In a split second, something seemed to have happened.
Dugu Feng's expression changed, about to do something, but he didn't expect another Gu Qing Shan to appear behind him.
Shannu!
She shouted loudly, "Seal and suppress!"
Billions of flying swords manifested in an instant, manifesting as runes that formed dozens of chains that wrapped around Dugu Feng.
Desolate Era Spirit Skill, [Ten Thousand Swords Demon Suppression]!
At almost the same time, Gu Qing Shan also raised her other hand and released dozens of chains.
Dual Spirit Skills!
Dugu Feng was instantly trapped.
But at the very next moment, he angrily shouted: "You think you can defeat me with just this?"
Boom — — -
All the iron chains broke apart inch by inch, disintegrating into densely packed runes that scattered into the void.
As he was about to say something, a faint figure appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The Qian Yuan Spirit Summoning had been completed!
As soon as he broke free, the soul that was summoned through Dugu Feng's blood had already appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Dugu Feng's expression changed.
Behind him, the giant corpse appeared again, grabbed Dugu Feng and crushed him into a pile of meat.
"Dugu Feng, your body and soul have both reached their end"
The giant corpse's loud voice echoed in the void of space.
In front of Gu Qing Shan, the soul froze.
The soul glanced at Gu Qing Shan one last time and shouted: "Come!"
The sword flashed and disappeared.
The Delimitation sword pierced through the transparent soul.
In the blink of an eye, the soul turned into nothingness.
But I've already made it — — -
Images quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes, displaying all the important moments that the soul had experienced.
Boundary Thaumaturgy, [Reflection]!
The divine sword was sentient, knowing that time was of the essence, it displayed all of the soul's important memories in the blink of an eye.
Although this was done in a hurry, with Gu Qing Shan's abilities, she naturally saw through all of the soul's memories.
Everything was done.
The giant corpse sighed and spoke in an echoing voice: "I'm very curious, how did you think of this?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "It's very obvious, Dugu Feng's battle prowess is inferior to the Earth Era's Luo Bingli, his control over Space-Time is inferior to the Wind Era's Xie Shuang Yan, when it comes to Occult Causality, he's even weaker than the Fire Era's Qin Xiaolou, yet you alone have him under your control — —"
"Because as the Apostle of the Water Era, he knows the most secrets"
After saying so, Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
The giant corpse also fell silent.
In the void of space, the final image of Dugu Feng's memories was still lingering in the air, constantly replaying itself.
It was an ignorant world.
The giant corpse was trapped on the bronze pillar, while Dugu Feng was standing not too far away from it, speaking in a low voice:
"Let her go"
"You mean your daughter?" the giant corpse asked.
Dugu Feng replied: "I've always thought that you were helping us … unfortunately, I only found out today, the Boundary Stone — — -"
"No need to say anything else, the evil assimilation power on her body will turn her into my companion at any moment — — - unless you can exchange a secret with me"
"What secret?"
"I was struck by the ultimate sequence of living beings, forced to endure the torment of destruction within the void … tell me, when will those living beings descend upon the void?"
"If I tell you, you'll let my daughter go — — - we'll swear by the Laws of the void and all worlds"
"Very well"
Both sides performed an incredibly complicated and mystical covenant ceremony.
Dugu Feng then spoke up: "Until one day, when all four Eras that tried to destroy you fail, all living beings who have tried their best for the Sequence technique will turn into heroic spirits within the sea of blood, reincarnate into the void and create the Age of Desolation — — - at that point, it will be the day of your deaths"
The giant corpse let out a deafening laugh: "The day of their deaths … no, when they truly descend upon the void, it will also be the best chance for me to kill them"
"The covenant has been completed, do as you wish" Dugu Feng replied.
"I have one more question" the giant corpse said.
"I will only answer the question just now"
"No … you will answer my other question …"
Boundless black light fell on Dugu Feng's body, completely enveloping him.
A few moments later.
He lost all expression and stood blankly in the void of space.
"The one who gathered the power of all living beings to perform the Sequence technique … will also descend upon the Age of Desolation, tell me, which body is the Master hiding in?" the giant corpse asked.
"I don't know" Dugu Feng blankly replied.
"You really don't know, don't you have any clues at all?" the giant corpse asked further.
The corners of Dugu Feng's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile: "This secret … I don't know, and no one will ever know …"
Dugu Feng regained his blank expression.
He kept his mouth shut and said nothing — — -
Seems like he really doesn't know.
The screen finally faded away.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the screen and spoke without turning around: "You've completely destroyed him, so now you're going to fight me yourself?"
The giant corpse hovered in the fog without saying a word.
Although the battle just now seemed very long, it only took a single breath's worth of time for the two of them to exchange blows.
Age of Desolation Spirit Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Demon Suppression.
Fire Thaumaturgy, Heaven Origin Spirit Summon.
Boundary power, [Reflect].
Shannu also attacked with her full power.
Following that, the giant corpse destroyed everything about Dugu Feng.
Unfortunately, Gu Qing Shan had already accomplished that — — -
He managed to buy a split second to summon Dugu Feng's soul and recalled all of Dugu Feng's memories.
A few moments later.
The giant corpse didn't answer and continued:
"You've already destroyed the Great Desolation by yourself, and I've fully grasped the power of the echelon. Even if the Master himself came, he wouldn't be a match for me … I want to find the Master right now and settle all the debts of the long years" the giant corpse said.
Behind him, numerous screens of light appeared from the void of space.
Each screen showed a River of Time. All the heroes that were born from the River of Time, regardless of which world they were in, were being entangled by black shadows and slowly turned evil.
"Gu Qing Shan, the Sea of Time is where you will be buried"
As soon as he said that.
Both Gu Qing Shan and the giant corpse disappeared at the same time.
In a split second, the sword phantoms gave off a blinding light above the endless River of Time!
"Swordsmanship is useless against me, you shall perish here and now!" the giant corpse angrily shouted.
Boom — — -
The light receded.
Gu Qing Shan was sent flying into the Sea of Time.
…
At another location.
In another world.
Faint yellow fog. An endless river.
In this entire world, the presence of death and decay permeated the air.
— — -this was an extremely unassuming Huang Quan fragment world.
In the middle of the Forgetting River, there was a lone island.
This mountain was almost completely submerged, only the top of the mountain remained above the water.
A person was sitting in front of a stone table, holding a glass of wine in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Xie Gu Hong.
All of a sudden.
Apparently noticing something, his expression changed as he put the glass of wine down on the stone table and stood up.
He looked towards a certain direction and muttered:
"… The final battle between living beings and the evil demons … has begun …"
Before he finished, he abruptly disappeared from this world.
