Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Gu Qing Shan's heart began to beat faster.
The [Armor of Old God's Protection] activated [God's Order] at the moment of his death.
Time suddenly paused.
The monster's body appeared in mid-air, then stopped moving.
This was a humanoid monster.
Other than its overly muscular limbs and sharp claws, as well as its long tail, it was very similar to a human.
It was unclear how it did it — — without Gu Qing Shan noticing at all, it had already appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Its sharp claws were less than a millimeter away from Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Gu Qing Shan didn't even have time to breathe.
At the moment of life and death,
At the moment of death,
He forgot to breathe, forgot everything else, only focused on swinging the Earth sword!
Secret Art [Swallow Returns], the 86,370,000 tons Earth sword, carrying the full power of Gu Qing Shan's sword phantom, slashed at the monster's soft throat.
This slash was meant to decapitate it!
— — -a dull 'bam'.
The Earth sword was stopped by the monster's skin.
A faint white mark appeared on the monster's throat.
Bam!
Another dull sound.
[Swallow Returns] caused a sword phantom to appear behind the monster's back, unleashing a strike of the same power.
Still useless!
Only a white mark was left on the monster's neck.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
Such a powerful strike couldn't even pierce through the monster's vitals.
What kind of defensive power is this!?
At the same time, the monster's presence began to rise.
As if some sort of powerful defensive power had awakened inside the monster's body.
At this point, two breaths' worth of time had already passed.
In just one breath's worth of time, time will return to normal.
With this monster's offensive power, a single attack was enough to push Gu Qing Shan into a dead end.
If [Time Stop] disappears …
At this crucial moment, the Earth sword suddenly spoke up: 「 Gu Qing Shan, give me all of your Divine power 」
"Got it!"
Gu Qing Shan said without hesitation.
He originally had more than 500,000 Soul Points, but after using All Crossing Even Sea of Bitterness, he only had 300,000 left.
He poured all 300,000 Soul Points into the Earth Sword at once!
Boom!
The Earth sword violently shook.
Mysterious runes appeared on the blade of the sword.
An ancient and desolate aura filled with vicissitudes lingered on the longsword.
The Earth Sword let out a continuous screeching and screaming sound, almost like the wailing of countless demons and deities.
It had completely turned into a different sword!
— — -as if this was the Earth sword's true form!
"Again!"
The Earth sword's mountainous heavy voice resounded.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Gu Qing Shan let out a loud shout and activated the Sword Art, slashing at the monster's throat again.
The sword shadow cut through the void.
Whoosh!
A head flew into the sky.
His head was separated from his body!
At the same time, three breaths came to an end, and Time Halt vanished.
The monster's body fell to the ground.
The dripping blood rain was blown away by the fierce sword edge.
The entire world returned to normal.
All the supernatural phenomena on the Earth sword disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan breathed heavily, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He had been through a lot of dangerous situations.
But this was the first time Gu Qing Shan had ever been in a situation where he would've already died at the enemy's hands according to the original course of fate.
"It's all thanks to you this time, Earth sword" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Earth sword didn't answer.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the Earth sword.
All the supernatural phenomena disappeared from the Earth sword, but a long crack appeared on the blade of the sword.
Very quickly, the entire sword was covered in cracks. The entire sword had turned ashen.
The Earth sword's low voice resounded.
「 My wounds still haven't healed, after using my full power this time, I can't hold on any longer, I have to go into slumber 」
「 Remember to find Ling Er, she knows what to do 」
After saying that, the Earth sword didn't say anything else.
Gu Qing Shan lightly held the sword, not daring to move at all.
He could already see that there were a lot of broken pieces on the sword, falling off with every slight movement he made.
He was afraid that if he moved too much, the entire sword would break.
If that happened, the sword would be completely destroyed and the Earth sword wouldn't be able to be saved.
"Earth sword …"
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
He carefully took out a long box made of spirit jade and put the Earth sword inside.
With the Earth sword's current situation, I can only go back and find Shifu.
At this point, a panicked voice came from the floating piece of scale.
"Hurry, your sword will be saved sooner or later, we need to quickly deal with this corpse!"
The giant corpse hurriedly said.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "It's already dead, what else is there to deal with?"
He looked at the monster's corpse, a bit confused.
If the situation wasn't so dangerous, he wouldn't even want to kill this monster.
He wanted to ask why it recognized him.
Gu Qing Shan can confirm that he's never seen this monster before, neither in this life nor the past.
But the other party could actually recognize him.
How is that possible?
The giant corpse said that within the 900 million World Layers, there isn't a single entity that can match up to this monster.
It doesn't belong to the 900 million World Layers.
It … knows me.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't think about it anymore.
This monster is so full of mysteries that I can't even think about it any further.
The giant corpse's voice came: "If we don't deal with the corpse, we'll attract even more unknown entities"
"Are you sure?"
"There are too many ways to find a corpse, so this thing needs to be eliminated as soon as possible without leaving even a single trace!"
While he was talking, the monster's head moved a bit.
A milky white light came out from its head and entered its body.
Following that, the head slowly floated up and returned to the body.
"What a nice way to think" the giant corpse commented.
A few pieces of scale fell off from its armor, turning into various attacks that struck the head.
None of them worked.
The head didn't even take a single scratch and continued to fly towards the body.
Apparently, this monster had a secret method to reconnect its head to its body.
The giant corpse panicked and shouted. "Do you have any other ideas? Hurry and stop its resurrection!"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "If even you can't do it, what else can I do!?"
In that moment of crisis, his mind flashed.
All of a sudden, he drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
The sword unleashed a sword phantom that instantly cut off the milky white light connecting the monster's body and head.
[Divine Mountain Law Breaker]!
The monster's head fell to the ground again.
It opened its eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan with an indescribable gaze.
Gu Qing Shan also looked at it.
「 Pitiful … 」 the monster said.
After uttering these two words, it closed its eyes and no longer breathed.
Pitiful?
Me?
Gu Qing Shan froze.
The giant corpse shouted like a madman: "There's no other way! There's no other way! It's fortunate that it's not on top of the bronze pillar, now I need to use everything I know to deal with corpses "
Following its words, hundreds of black scales flew out from the giant corpse's black armor.
One of the black scales flew out first and landed on the monster's body.
The scales turned into a pale green mist that enveloped the body.
A few moments later, the mist faded away. The body was unharmed.
Another black scale fell off and turned into burning lava that enveloped the monster's body.
But it was useless. The monster's body was still unburned.
A third black scale fell off and turned into a few wild beasts that crawled on top of the body and bit it.
A fourth black scale fell off and turned into a large hammer that struck the body.
A fifth scale split off and turned into a few small people, each holding a tool and prepared to dissect the body.
A sixth scale.
A seventh scale …
More and more spells and techniques were unleashed from the scales.
But the monster's body still wasn't destroyed.
"Damn it, damn it, we need to hurry up"
The giant corpse's voice became more and more anxious.
Following its voice, more and more black scales flew out from its armor.
Time quickly passed.
The 398th black scale fell off and turned into thousands of silver ants.
These ants began to eat the monster's body.
As they ate, the monster's body quickly disappeared.
"Good! Just like that "the giant corpse said.
A few dozen seconds later, the monster's body disappeared.
The silver ants stayed where the body originally was, silently staying still.
"Is it done?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Wait a bit, let's see the results" the giant corpse said.
They waited for a while.
Suddenly, all the ants parted to make way.
A black skeleton rose from the ground and subconsciously walked away.
"It's done!"
The giant corpse said.
From the sound of it, it seemed to be relieved.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the black skeleton.
It walked into the crowd of thousands of black skeletons and walked together with the skeletons. There was no difference between them.
"Wait a minute, this sea of skeletons …"
"That's right, as you can see, these are all things that want to eat my body. Normally, I can make them die on their own without doing anything, but the monster that appeared this time is something I can't deal with"
"What exactly is this monster?"
"I don't know either"
"You said it doesn't belong to the 900 million World Layers?"
"It definitely doesn't"
"Why does it know my name?"
"You don't need to think too much about that, there are many spells and abilities that can allow you to know a person's true name in advance, like [Void Peek], [Dream Divination], [Death Prophecy], [Thorn of True Name] — — there are too many of these, you don't need to worry about this"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while.
