The shockwaves from the explosion swept across the desert, combining with the sword-infused wind in the air to form a massive tornado.
Little Xi didn't stop there, she continued to draw Cards and unleash sky-shattering spells towards the remaining enemies.
Gu Qing Shan let go of the [True Crimson Demon Spear] and the armor of Life's Grace returned to his body.
Outside the armor, 5 pale white shields of the dead were circling around him.
Someone tried to attack, only to find that they couldn't even break through the shields.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.
The two flying swords flashed across the sky and returned to his hands.
His defense was stacked to the point where the enemy couldn't break through it. As a sword cultivator, Gu Qing Shan didn't need to think about how to fight anymore.
[Ground Shrink]
[Slash]
[Ground Shrink]
[Kill!]
[Ground Shrink]
Slash!!!
Combined with Little Xi's spell bombardment, Gu Qing Shan continued to reap the lives of his enemies.
A whirlwind swept through everything.
The entire bounty hunter platoon of over a dozen people was slaughtered by Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi.
All of a sudden, the grey giant roared in anger: "Everyone gather here, we're going to fight to the death!"
The remaining subordinates' expressions changed, and they immediately gathered around him.
They all gathered together and uttered a desperate roar.
Gu Qing Shan stopped his sword.
If so many powerful Combatants gathered together and attacked without any regard for their lives, even with the support of countless Cards, he would still have a headache dealing with them.
The grey giant glowered at him and Little Xi, loudly declaring: "Our bounty hunter platoon has been around for over 700 years, but we've never been destroyed before, do you know why?"
Little Xi curiously asked: "Why?"
"Because in a moment of life and death, we'll use a secret technique scroll to burn our own lives to kill our enemies" the grey giant smirked.
He carefully took out a scroll and unfolded it.
Behind him, his subordinates poured all of their power into the scroll.
"Tremble, you two brats!" the grey giant roared.
At the same time, the Combatants behind him also appeared excited and frenzied.
They all shouted in unison.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The air was filled with a strong will to fight, as if everyone was ready to fight for the last time.
Gu Qing Shan gazed at the heroic scene in front of her and said emotionally, "In that case, to express my respect, I will also do my best."
He raised both of his swords and silently circulated all of his spirit energy. He became completely serious.
Little Dusk didn't say anything and just silently drew cards, preparing for the final battle.
In the sky, the grey giant finally activated the scroll!
When the scroll had absorbed enough energy, it burst into a ball of light that enveloped the remaining members of the bounty hunter group.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering sound.
This ball of light was like a rapidly flying meteor, flying into the distance.
The light flashed a few times before disappearing into the distant horizon, disappearing without a trace.
They escaped.
"…" Gu Qing Shan.
"…" Xiaoxi.
The two of them were ready for battle, but the result was unexpected.
"His speed isn't normal, we might not be able to catch up" Little Dusk said.
"Hm, it's too fast, I can't catch up" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
The grey giant wasn't lying.
— — -with such a powerful escape technique, as well as such excellent acting skills, coupled with their shamelessness, it's no wonder this bounty hunter group was able to survive for 700 years without being wiped out.
Standing in the air, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt something in his heart slowly becoming a thing of the past.
A new surge of spirit energy flowed through his body, guiding the spirit energy throughout his body to form an unprecedented tide of spirit energy.
Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
So I've passed the karmic adversity.
Over a dozen Professional bounty hunters who were far stronger than me came to kill me, but because of Little Dusk's [Twin Shadows], they were forced to flee.
My karmic adversity has been resolved.
"I need to rest for a bit" Gu Qing Shan said.
He didn't descend, instead, he arranged several dozen formations in the air, sat down cross-legged, and began to guide the spirit energy inside his body.
A few moments later, he fell into a deep meditative state.
His breakthrough was slowly but surely progressing in an irreversible manner.
This was a breakthrough that didn't require him to face the Lightning Tribulation.
But three karmic adversity isn't any better than a Lightning Tribulation. If Gu Qing Shan had to choose, he would definitely choose the Lightning Tribulation, not the karmic adversity.
Furthermore, because Gu Qing Shan's Merit was too much, he only had to face three karmic adversity.
Cultivators who committed all sorts of evil often died at Tribulation realm — — because they had to face at least a few hundred karmic adversity.
They could even choke to death just by drinking water.
Life was simply unimaginable.
A minute later.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
Virtualized realm!
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[This breakthrough has ended]
[You've successfully broken through to Virtualized realm]
[You've become a Virtualized realm cultivator]
[Due to the Tribulation realm's natural premonition being passively enhanced to the point where you can sense karmic adversity, your spirit sense has been greatly used up and will fall into a dormant state for a short while, the duration will depend on your situation]
[Please pay special attention, breaking through to Projection realm, Tribulation realm, and Virtualized realm will not awaken your Thaumaturgy, you will only awaken your Thaumaturgy when you advance to Cryptic realm]
After the glowing text finished, it slowly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan didn't really care about the Thaumaturgy, because he already knew about it when he broke through to Tribulation realm.
His spirit sense falling into a dormant state was a bit of a challenge.
Because cultivators like to use their instincts to sense the connection between themselves and the outside world, losing his spirit sense so abruptly was still a bit difficult to adapt to.
He looked next to him.
Only to see Little Xi's sleepy expression, her head swaying back and forth, trying her best to stay awake and silently watch over him.
"I'm done" Gu Qing Shan said.
"That's right, you finally broke through" Little Xi yawned.
"Why are you so tired?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because of [Duo Ying]"
"[Duo Ying]? I don't feel like I'm affected at all "
"Of course you won't be affected" Little Dusk rubbed her tired eyes: "Your level is too low to be able to activate your Cards to fight, so in [Duo Image] mode, both of our Cards will be consumed by me alone"
"I'm sorry, please tell me how to become stronger as an Envoy of Condemnation, I'll definitely try my best to share your burden later on" Gu Qing Shan said apologetically.
Little Dusk explained: "There are three ways to become stronger, the first is to naturally evolve like you did, the second is to devour other Cards, the third is to search for the inheritances left behind by the Old Gods and use them to increase the grade of your Cards"
The inheritance of the Old Gods?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled what happened not too long ago.
In Triste's collection world, the [Demon King Order: Origin] was designed to obtain the inheritance of the Old Gods and evolved into [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution].
Who would've thought that I'd be the same as an [Order], needing to use such an item to evolve.
Little Dusk continued to explain: "Natural advancement is the slowest, devouring Cards is a bit faster — — - but not every Card is suitable for you, you need to find a Card that is compatible with you. Lastly, using an inheritance item left behind by the Old Gods is the fastest, but those inheritance items are all secrets among secrets, so they can't be easily found"
"Alright, that's enough, I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep for a bit"
Little Xi finally said.
She turned into a lapis-colored Card and landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
In the Card, she had already changed into cute pajamas and was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the Card into a jade box and put it in his sleeve.
He looked at the War God UI.
A Card had appeared at the center of the UI.
It was a grey Card, he himself was wielding two swords, hovering in the middle of the Card.
[Grey Card: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan]
[Grade: Grey Card level 0]
[Companion: Angel of Condemnation – Dusk]
[Corresponding Deck: Fugitive Deck]
All the information disappeared.
A line of glowing text appeared below the Card.
[Your personal strength has increased, officially evolving from level 0 to 1 star]
[You've become a 1 star Card]
[You've obtained a Grey Skill Card: Amplified Damage]
A Card with a grey background appeared on the UI.
On the front of the Card, there was a drawing of a long blade, occasionally giving off a cold gleam.
[Skill Card: Amplified Damage]
[After equipping this Card, whenever you deal damage to an enemy, the enemy will take an additional 3% damage]
[Description: This is a Gray-level Passive Skill Card. When you are in battle, equip this card and it will continue to work.]
[As a Grey Card, it's already working very hard]
Reading through the information, Gu Qing Shan felt that compared to Little Xi, her Card was a bit too weak.
… fine, my level is so low, it's already good enough to have a Card to use.
