In truth, it wasn't like Gu Qing Shan didn't have a solution.
Halfway through the battle, he glanced at the War God UI.
After killing 11 Entropy Ghosts, my Soul Points had reached almost 1 million.
Not to mention Soul Points, after killing the Entropy Ghost, the Tai Yi Sword Array had been charged up three more times, increasing its power to sixteen times.
Should I use a 16x Taiyi Sword Array?
No, that would be like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
A 16x Taiyi Sword Array was his true trump card, something that must be used at the most crucial moment.
Since Gu Qing Shan had made up his mind, he didn't go all out just yet.
"Are you sure the power of Lightning will work?" he asked.
The ancient creature loudly replied: 「 Lightning Retribution is our world's punishment measure, a rule made by the Old Gods when they created our world, so it's more powerful than any other Element, almost invincible 」
Although the ancient species looked ugly, when they spoke, they spoke in the pure language of the remnant of the ancient times.
This was a common language among the Demis, even recorded in the Spire Keeper Association's dictionary.
"Then I'll give it a try" Gu Qing Shan said.
A few hundred meters away, the black monster once again stood up.
With a single thought from Gu Qing Shan, the Earth sword and Chao Yin sword both flew towards the monster.
Ignoring the monster's two black arms to block, the Earth sword slashed forward.
Dong!
The ground cracked and sunk, but the monster managed to block the Earth sword's 86,370,000 tons strike.
The countless faces on its body screamed in pain.
Obviously, it wasn't in a good state to block such an attack.
Taking that chance, the Chao Yin sword stabbed through the monster's chest.
Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Severance]!
The monster froze in place, unable to move a single inch.
For three seconds, all of its soul vessel was forcefully separated from its body, unable to move.
What can you do in three seconds?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared, holding the Earth sword in her hand.
[Severance]!
[Stab]!
[Wind Twist]!
[Quadruple Slash]!
With a swing of the sword, seven strikes were completed.
Arcs of blue-white lightning as thick as an arm appeared from Gu Qing Shan's body and fused into the Earth Sword.
Blinding lightning flashed on and off the Earth Sword, illuminating the surroundings into a world of lightning.
In a split second, the Earth Sword let out 7 flashes of lightning.
"Lei Long!"
Gu Qing Shan bellowed.
A huge ferocious dragon head made of blue lightning emerged from the tip of the sword.
Behind the dragon's head was a dragon's body made from a mix of sword phantoms and lightning, rising from the Earth Sword.
Boom!
The lightning dragon took the monster to the sky.
"Ah ah ah ah, no! Why do people in this world still know how to use lightning — "The monster let out a shrill howl.
Halfway through its flight, the lightning dragon turned into a circle of blue lightning and enveloped the monster.
It looked as if a blue sun had appeared in the sky.
The night turned into day.
The black monster's figure gradually disappeared in the lightning.
The light gradually dimmed.
The lightning ball turned into a swimming electric snake and scattered in the sky.
The black monster disappeared without a trace.
It was completely killed.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan slowly realized what happened.
So the Old Gods had set up the rules to use Lightning as this world's punishment.
With Lightning, as well as the Six Paths Great Mountain sword's anti-magic ability, no wonder I was able to kill so many Entropy Ghosts so easily.
After all, Entropy Ghosts are still Chaotic Demon Lords!
Gu Qing Shan turned around.
Only to see that the ancient creature had turned back into the old man.
The old man opened his mouth wide, staring at the sky, still in the same position even after the lightning dragon disappeared.
Noticing Gu Qing Shan's gaze, he finally regained his senses.
"I'm sorry, I've never seen such powerful lightning before" the old man said.
Seeing that he was covered in blood, Gu Qing Shan casually tossed a pill to him.
The old man caught the pill, sniffed it and relaxed his eyebrows.
Without hesitation, he put the pill in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed.
"I didn't even say anything and you already ate it? Aren't you afraid I'll do something? "Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"There's nothing that can poison this old man, not to mention, with this old man's several hundred years of experience, I can easily tell that this is a good thing" the old man puffed out his chest and proudly declared.
"Then let me tell you, aside from healing wounds, this pill of mine also has the effect of cleansing the body"
"… Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Qing Shan helplessly shrugged: "I didn't even get a chance to say anything before you swallowed the pill"
The old man clutched his stomach, then limped away to find a place to squat.
"Wait a minute, are there any other living people in this city?" Gu Qing Shan loudly asked from behind him.
"I'm the last survivor!"
While answering, the old man quickly ran into a coral building.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
"To be able to survive such a rash attack, seems like you're quite strong" he muttered.
While the old man went to the toilet, Gu Qing Shan walked towards the plaza.
She didn't know what the black monster did, but the entire plaza had disappeared.
What replaced it was a deep crater.
— — a crater so deep that she couldn't see the bottom.
Gu Qing Shan tried releasing her inner sight to check, but couldn't find the bottom of the crater.
Gu Qing Shan stopped at the edge of the plaza and observed her surroundings.
Below her, the originally blue ground had completely disappeared at the edge of the plaza.
The crater was filled with reddish-brown flames.
These flames came from underground, when the wind blew, they left a long trail of flames behind them.
At a glance, these flames seemed to be alive, as they were glowing at each other, fusing together to form a separate area from the outside world.
The Earth sword spoke up: 「 These are the flames of Purgatory 」
"Purgatory? Is this a normal world? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"What do you mean by 'normal'?"
「 It wasn't enveloped by the [Demon King Order] 」
「 It used to be normal, but now I don't know 」 the Earth sword replied.
"What about these flames?"
「 The flames of Purgatory have always been like this, sir 」 another voice replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked back.
At some unknown point, a person had appeared at the center of the crater.
This person was wearing a black suit, appearing to be tall and well-mannered.
"Greetings, Mr. Gu Qing Shan, I am a representative from Purgatory. My master said that when you win against that monster, you will be qualified to accept our mediation"
"Mediation?"
"Indeed, between you and the [Demon King Order], my master wishes to mediate once"
"Why?"
"Mr. Gu Qing Shan, do you know why a civilized world, or rather, countless civilized worlds, is called a civilization?"
"I don't like answering questions, if you have something you want to talk to me about, please tell me directly"
The man put up a finger and said: "Only [Order] can represent the existence of a civilization"
[Order]?
Gu Qing Shan became cautious.
"I heard that Purgatory is the most chaotic place" he said.
"Ah, our place is indeed chaotic, but chaos is also a type of [Order], because the master of Purgatory likes chaos" the man replied.
"What exactly do you want from me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Mr. Gu Qing Shan, we shouldn't have appeared here, both you and I"
"What do you mean?"
"[Worlds Apocalypse Online] is the [Demon King Order], while you don't represent any [Order], so we hope that you can stand by and watch, that way, you will be able to gain Purgatory's friendship"
"You belong to [Worlds Apocalypse Online]?"
"No, we are the middlemen"
The man in black suit continued: "If you agree to stop and are willing to leave immediately, we of Purgatory will help you leave the battlefield and guarantee that the [Demon King Order] will never be able to affect you again"
"Why do you want to mediate?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The man smiled apologetically: "If I answer your question, our secret will be completely exposed, I'm sorry"
"Mr. Gu Qing Shan, accept the mediation, that way, the [Demon King Order] will stay away from you, we of Purgatory will also accept you as our esteemed guest"
"You seem very confident in convincing me?"
"I do, after all, you're only a tiny insect, you don't belong to any [Order], so there's no need for you to seek death"
"It seems your actions are to curry favor with a certain target"
"You're very sharp, too sharp. Mr. Gu Qing Shan, please tell me your choice, I can't tell you anything else"
"I refuse"
"Are you sure? I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you what will happen to you if you refuse "
"Please go ahead, I'm listening"
"If you refuse our mediation — –" the man showed a meaningful smile, "when you die, the master of Purgatory will personally collect your soul, you will be burned by the flames of the Purgatory Furnace for eternity, you will howl, cry, cry, regret, suffer for eternity, but there will be no chance to redeem yourself"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then nodded: "It seems your master and I have a common understanding"
The man clapped his hands: "A common understanding? Very well, mr. Gu Qing Shan, please continue "
