Gu Qing Shan appeared next to a pile of rocks.
Using the Divine Skill [Ground Shrink], he instantly traveled a great distance.
From the darkness behind him, an invisible presence approached.
This was the unique presence of a Demon Lord.
Looking down on all living beings.
Killing for pleasure.
Sensing this presence, Gu Qing Shan didn't run away right away.
His claws dug deep into the rock wall. He knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.
This was the presence of his past life.
A memory that can't be erased.
The scenes from the past flooded back to him like a tidal wave, but Gu Qing Shan didn't want to stop himself from remembering them.
Someone reported with a sobbing tone: "General Gu, the vanguard ran into a Demon Lord, they couldn't react in time and were all killed"
"How many people died?"
"300,000! Three hundred thousand! General Gu! "
Si — — -
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, feeling a bit of pain in his chest.
The cold air from the ground was sucked into his body, barely allowing him to calm down.
Following his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan disappeared again.
The second time [Ground Shrink]!
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan appeared in the middle of the demon horde.
There were still a lot of demons here, and most of them were on high alert.
They formed layers upon layers of defense.
After all, Huang Quan was right behind them. This was the last part of the journey.
The demons didn't allow any souls to enter Huang Quan.
Gu Qing Shan stumbled.
"Die!"
He swung his claws, almost out of control.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The demons screamed in pain.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
He reappeared in another demon camp a few hundred miles away.
He was flying forward without a care for anything else.
Some of the demons looked up, looking at him in surprise.
But that was it. No demons attacked him first.
After running for a while, Gu Qing Shan suddenly tripped and rolled on the ground.
The Demon Lord's presence followed him like a shadow.
As if Gu Qing Shan was stimulated, the scenes that were sealed deep within his memories suddenly resurfaced.
A mountain.
The mountain was filled with human corpses.
A huge, sinister face peered over from the other side of the mountain and stared at the human camp.
"Mr. Gu, go, go!"
"You guys leave. I'm a sword cultivator. I can stall it for a while!"
Without any explanation, the group of people swarmed over to grab him and drag him back.
More armored soldiers stood in front of him as they advanced towards the Demon God.
"Sir, you can't die. We'll stop it."
"Listen to my command. First team, go!"
"Second team, follow!"
"Charge, everyone! “
"Let's fight!"
The ferocious face that was as large as a mountain slowly opened its mouth.
Countless screams of human beings rang out.
…
The frigid aura from the cave woke Gu Qing Shan up.
His trembling body stopped.
He suddenly shouted.
"No!"
The surrounding demons could only hear a sharp whimper from the Sharp-clawed Demon.
Then, the Sharp-clawed Monster stood up shakily.
Just as the demons thought it was strange, they suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Their heads were separated from their bodies, and they lay dead on the ground.
The Sharp-clawed Demon disappeared in front of all the demons.
A few hundred miles away, it reappeared.
The dark cave had turned into a flat path, the cold air coming from it was enough to freeze a person.
The Earth sword suddenly spoke up with a hurried tone: 「 I can sense an intense surge of demonic and divine power erupting, you have to run away quickly! 」
Roar!
Behind him, a deafening roar resounded from the dark tunnel.
An intense gust of wind swept through the entire cave.
The worst-case scenario had occurred.
That slight sense of abnormality caused the Demon God to wake up!
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
It's impossible to go back the way we came.
The only way to survive is Huang Quan.
Run!
Run as fast as you can!
Gu Qing Shan was screaming in his mind, but he didn't move.
The Demon God's presence became even stronger.
The feeling of despair from his past life surrounded him, opening the door to his memories.
A voice came from the depths of his memories.
"What? A person like you can become a commander of the Human Race?"
A cute female voice came.
"Ah? You've found the strongest liquor? What a silly brat … fine, this Empress will reluctantly go on a date with you "
The flame flew away, then suddenly reappeared.
The girl's voice came from the communication talisman again.
"I'm at camp 571, a bit far from you, but if you're willing, come find me"
"Ah, right, brat, don't forget to bring liquor, we're going to have a good drink"
In the blink of an eye, dirt was blown all over the place.
Boom!
Screams of pain!
Someone angrily shouted: "Gu Qing Shan, you can't go, that place was just discovered by the Demon God!"
He turned around and left.
Someone chased after him from the camp, loudly shouting: "General Gu, hurry back, that place is definitely done for"
He was running as fast as he could.
He had never run as fast as he did in his entire life.
Running!
Finally, he stood on top of a tree, looking at the world-ending flames of camp 571.
The light from the flames illuminated his eyes.
The flames went out.
Everything went out.
Intense pain.
"Wake up! Gu Qing Shan! "
The Earth sword jumped out from the void of space and patted his shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan woke up.
He never knew that the Earth sword's voice could become so urgent, so fast.
"Hurry and run, Gu Qing Shan, the Demon God is heading this way"
The Chao Yin sword hovered next to the Earth sword.
It was also anxiously letting out a 'wu wu' sound.
— — right, I need to run now.
I need to run!
Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth.
He abruptly flew forward a few feet.
Not good, I can't run like this.
He gave up on flying and used [Ground Shrink] again.
Compared to [Shadow Shift], [Ground Shrink] didn't cost too much spirit energy.
Fortunately, he was currently in the body of a demon, so he wasn't afraid of being surrounded by a horde of demons after teleporting.
He appeared in the middle of the horde of demons, then disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already very far away, arriving at another camp guarded by demons.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have noticed something.
He used [Ground Shrink] without any regard for spirit energy to quickly travel a large distance.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan stopped.
A mass of darkness was approaching him from behind, finally enveloping him.
It was a giant arm covered in black hair.
The arm suddenly reached out to grab Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan instantly disappeared.
But right in front of him, another giant hand of black fog was waiting for him.
The hand of black fog quickly covered the entire passage, grabbing at Gu Qing Shan.
「 He's a Demon God, quickly use me to face him! 」 the Earth sword hurriedly said.
"I know!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword tightly and slashed at the hand of black fog with all his might.
Secret Art, [Torrent]
This was a powerful Secret Art.
The vast sword phantoms rushed forward like a torrent, striking the hand of black fog, but only managed to leave a gap about half the width of a person.
Gu Qing Shan squeezed through the gap and followed the sword phantoms forward.
Roar!
A furious roar of unwillingness resounded from the back of the cave.
They were too far away.
The Demon God couldn't exert its full strength.
Gu Qing Shan rushed out of the black fog, not even looking back and activated [Ground Shrink] again!
In the blink of an eye, he had traveled several hundred miles.
In front of him.
A ball of dim yellow light appeared in the endless darkness.
It was the exit of the cave. It was reflecting the faint light of Huang Quan!
Gu Qing Shan's figure disappeared and reappeared at the exit in the blink of an eye.
He went through the exit without hesitation.
The light expanded!
Hoh hoh hoh!
An intense gust of wind blew, almost blowing Gu Qing Shan away.
Around him was a boundless sea of clouds.
Gu Qing Shan found himself high in the sky, constantly falling down.
Looking down, all he could see was a vast river that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The river water was dim, the water flowed faster and faster.
Clouds of mist rose from the surface of the river, drifting and forming dark clouds.
Gu Qing Shan's figure moved, not stopping in the air, but instead sped up, descending like a meteor.
He dispelled [All Beings Equal] and returned to his original appearance.
Since there were no demons around, he didn't need to pretend to be one anymore.
If he was discovered by Huang Quan's forces, he might accidentally get hurt.
His flying speed increased.
With the Demon God chasing after him, he couldn't waste even a second.
The Chao Yin Sword flew out, buzzing at Gu Qing Shan.
It seemed to be trying to explain something.
"I know, that's the legendary Forgetting River, you definitely can't touch it!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Forgetting River, in the legends, is a river that no living being can touch.
Aside from the dead of hell, any other living being that enters the Forgetting River will forget their past, their soul will be sent to hell or reincarnation.
This is a river that belongs to the dead.
This is the most powerful Law of Huang Quan.
The Chao Yin Sword once again let out a buzzing sound.
A drop of water that gave off a faint yellow aura appeared from the blade.
Forgetting River water.
A drop of Forgetting River water that the black cloaked skeleton went through countless trials and tribulations, spending thousands of years to obtain.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[The Chao Yin Sword requests your permission to refine this precious drop of Forgetting River water, in order to gain the Forgetting River's recognition]
[The Chao Yin Sword requests your permission to use 1000 Soul Points to help it refine the Forgetting River water]
Gu Qing Shan replied without hesitation: "Allow it!"
In a split second, the faint yellow water droplet scattered, turning into a mist that drifted around the Chao Yin Sword.
[Ting]!
[Refinement complete, the Chao Yin Sword can use [Even a sea of bitterness will pass] on the Forgetting River]
That's great!
Even a Demon God wouldn't dare to enter the Forgetting River.
As long as I hide inside the Forgetting River, I'll be able to escape.
Gu Qing Shan took the two swords, flew through the howling wind, through the clouds, heading towards the Forgetting River.
At a certain point, the presence of a Demon God came from behind.
An aura full of killing intent, one that could destroy everything.
In that split second, an uncontrollable thought appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
Run?
I'm running?
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
In the sky.
Swords.
Large river.
Intense wind.
This scene is so familiar.
The deepest scene in her memory appeared.
The camp.
The sound of armors hitting the ground was like a thunderstorm hitting the ground, one after another.
Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down.
"Mr. Gu, I am willing to die together"
"Die together"
"I am willing to use my blood to die together with you, sir"
Voices came one after another, becoming louder and louder.
Countless impassioned voices turned into light and infused into the sword array.
Facing the wind, he flew to the sky.
And then — —
Oong!
The Chao Yin Sword let out an intense vibrating noise.
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses.
He looked up.
7-8 giant arms appeared out of nowhere in the sky.
These arms were either long or short, some were exuding cold air, some were emitting green poisonous fog.
They were all trying to grab Gu Qing Shan.
"Chao Yin Sword!" Gu Qing Shan loudly shouted.
He suddenly flashed, crossing a large distance.
When he reappeared, Gu Qing Shan was only a few hundred meters away from the river.
The Chao Yin Sword vibrated.
A faint yellow light that looked like a burning flame appeared from the blade of the sword.
Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin Sword in his hand and pointed at the vast river.
The Forgetting River parted, leaving a path for him to enter the bottom of the river.
The Forgetting River accepted him.
Now, as long as Gu Qing Shan enters the river, he'll be safe.
Without stopping, Gu Qing Shan quickly flew down towards the Forgetting River.
500 meters.
200 meters.
30 meters.
I'm here!
Gu Qing Shan arrived at the surface of the Forgetting River and stopped.
「 What's the matter? Quickly hide inside 」 the Earth Sword spoke.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood still.
The river wind blew his hair away, making his clothes flutter.
He still didn't move.
A Demon Lord's arm followed.
The giant hand opened, grabbing towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared and reappeared above the hand, swinging the Earth Sword down.
"Aaaargh!"
He angrily roared and slammed the Demon Lord's arm into the Forgetting River.
The arm was hit, but it was fine.
But as soon as it touched the Forgetting River water, it began to struggle in fear.
It was useless.
This was the Forgetting River.
The Laws of Huang Quan were condensed here.
The Demon Lord's arm only moved a bit before losing all signs of life.
It slowly sank to the bottom of the Forgetting River.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
The Forgetting River can't be touched, otherwise even a Demon Lord would be at a disadvantage.
As if noticing this, all the Demon Lord's arms in the sky disappeared.
High up in the sky.
The giant's face peeked out from the cave, angrily looking around.
He looked at the faint yellow water of the Forgetting River below.
The Forgetting River's water surged, like an arrow leaving its bow, like a horse escaping its reins, flowing endlessly.
That ant-like human stood on the Forgetting River's surface without a single trace of fear on his face.
The giant roared in anger.
I let an ant-like soul pass through the dark cave.
Even if I'm asleep, I wouldn't make such a mistake.
That puny human even crippled one of my arms.
「 You're just a lowly soul, how did you manage to get past me? 」
The giant couldn't understand.
He decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, after capturing the other party, he'll be able to obtain their memories by chewing on their soul.
As long as he can obtain their memories, the giant will be able to understand everything.
With that in mind, the giant swooped down.
Dozens of arms with different functions flew out from his body, circling around the giant.
The giant's speed wasn't much slower than Gu Qing Shan's [Ground Shrink].
He charged at the human with everything he had.
Gu Qing Shan looked up as the Demon Lord approached.
He didn't move.
It wasn't until the Demon Lord entered the range of his inner sight that he swung the Chao Yin sword.
The torrential river water parted.
Gu Qing Shan landed.
The flowing river water made way for him, ensuring that there wasn't a single drop of water around him.
「 No, lowly human soul, I want your memories! 」
The giant roared.
Gu Qing Shan sank into the river.
Kept sinking.
At a certain point — —
Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared in the air.
The giant, with all its arms, appeared in a strange space.
There wasn't a single drop of water in this space.
All of the Forgetting River's water was avoiding this place.
The dim yellow flowing water reflected a dancing light on the giant's body.
This only lasted for a split second.
Even the sea of suffering can be crossed, but not the Demon Lord.
The Forgetting River closed up.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the flowing river.
The Demon Lord struggled inside.
But it was useless.
This was the greatest Law of Huang Quan.
This was the water of reincarnation that forgets everything and separates life and death.
In just two breaths' worth of time, the Demon Lord stopped struggling.
Gu Qing Shan hovered above the river, silently watching this.
A few moments later.
The Demon Lord's body floated up.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Demon Lord's body and stayed silent for a while.
At a certain point, he muttered: "My memories are my most precious possession, I can't give them to you"
He took out a bottle of fine liquor from his Inventory Bag.
As he opened the bottle, the fragrance of alcohol filled the air.
Gu Qing Shan let go.
A bottle of wine fell into the Forgetting River, bobbing up and down next to the Demon Lord's body.
"A toast to all of you"
Gu Qing Shan looked up, paused for a while, waiting for the wind to dry the moisture on his face.
"Don't worry everyone, I'll protect you in this life"
