Hundreds of swords silently hovered behind him.
Gu Qing Shan could sense the state of each sword, their trembling, and their position.
With a single thought, these swords would follow his orders to kill any enemy.
These swords were like his limbs, or more like the manifestation of his thoughts.
In both his previous and current lives, Gu Qing Shan had never experienced such a thing before.
He had an epiphany.
I've broken through.
Indeed, in this phantom image of the Age of Old, he had already surpassed the normal definition of a sword saint.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI.
[Void Beholder realm, able to control flying swords at will, a total of 700 swords]
[Next time your cultivation increases, you will be able to control a total of 1200 flying swords]
[This is a leapfrogging breakthrough … you've finally broken through the shackles of swordsmanship and reached the realm of 'one with the sword']
[From now on, you will be able to control hundreds of thousands of flying swords at will, using your mind to control the swords to perform various sword techniques, secret techniques, or powerful sword formations]
[This is the Great Achievement realm of a sword saint!]
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit emotional.
This was a fragment of the Age of Old — — - because it was a fragment, it couldn't influence the final course of the Age of Old.
But these moments were all real.
In fact, Gu Qing Shan could even cultivate here, obtain Soul Points, and become stronger.
The reason why it was a fragment was because humanity had tried their best to create a complete parallel world, but still couldn't create a complete parallel world, only able to create fragments.
Even so, this ability had already surpassed the understanding of normal people, not even the Divinities could fathom it. That's why they had been waiting for someone several ten thousand years later to uncover this secret.
— — where did this ability to create Space-Time come from?
Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to think about that.
The huge commotion caused by the flying swords was immediately noticed by the Desolate monsters.
Several dozen monsters with spikes all over their bodies pulled out a spike from their bodies and threw it at Gu Qing Shan.
The sharp spikes howled as they flew towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward.
The enormous sword wings floating behind his back immediately scattered into flying sword shadows and appeared in front of him in an instant.
The flying swords converged together to form a huge, sharp hand that glowed with a cold sword light.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand casually.
The giant hand formed by the flying swords waved.
Dang dang dang dang dang!
The long spikes were all sent flying by the giant hand.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept across the sky.
All the long thorns stopped moving.
Azure lightning flashed from the long spike.
Gu Qing Shan took over the thorns like flying swords!
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
The light streaked across the void.
The spikes flew back to the Desolate monsters' camp at an even faster speed, piercing through many of their bodies and skewering them together.
Gu Qing Shan didn't wait any longer.
The sword array was ready.
He activated the Taiyi Sword Technique and controlled all the flying swords to scatter and disappear into the void, shuttling along with the strong wind.
The sword array descended from the sky.
Wind and thunder arrived together!
The sound of continuous explosions resounded in the wind.
— — -this was the sound of countless flying swords infused with the power of Lightning, flying through the void at a breakneck speed.
If that was all, the Desolate monsters wouldn't be afraid.
But the situation was a bit out of their expectations.
Any monster that was hit by the wind would be frozen in place, unable to move.
Following that, the flying swords would appear from the void of space, circling around the monsters and slashing their bodies with extreme speed.
With the sound of piercing air, the monsters were slowly devoured by the sword phantoms.
The sword-infused wind turned blood red.
The wind continued to blow.
The intense wind howled towards the densely packed horde of monsters.
Five breaths' worth of time later.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, apparently unable to believe what they were seeing.
On the entire battlefield, a large empty space appeared.
All the Desolate monsters that were originally in that area were erased by the sword array.
Gu Qing Shan stopped.
The sword array ended.
Notifications of combat appeared on the War God UI one after another.
[You've killed a Desolate Creeper, Soul Points increased by 50,000]
[You've killed a Desolate Spiky Beast, Soul Points increased by 90,000]
[You've killed a Desolate Guardian, Soul Points increased by 180,000]
…
Although they were all soldier-class monsters, their sheer numbers still gave Gu Qing Shan a large amount of Soul Points.
The human cultivators cheered and charged forward!
"Gongzi, congratulations on breaking through, but you've used a Lightning Element that doesn't exist in this world and killed so many Desolate soldiers at once, so your situation might be very dangerous" Shannu reminded him.
"Hm, I know" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — if a Divinity had followed him to this world, they wouldn't need to do anything other than carefully investigate this war to quickly find out who he was.
At that time, his life and death would be a different story.
Even if the pursuers didn't come, after the war was over, Gu Qing Shan would still have to face the problem of his identity.
This was the final battle, so as long as he was human, no one would care about his spirit energy or identity. But after the war was over, both the Divinities and humanity of this world would definitely notice him.
Such destructive power that countered the Desolate monsters, what kind of power is this?
For Gu Qing Shan, this was the price he had to pay for being impulsive.
— — -but then again, if it weren't for his stubborn determination to face his conviction to the death, Gu Qing Shan wouldn't have been able to successfully evolve despite the pain.
He stopped for a bit and coldly observed the situation of the battlefield.
At this point, humanity had already gained the upper hand. Many of the places where the two sides were still in a stalemate, his flying swords were already flying towards them, unleashing Lightning Element sword phantoms to force the Desolate monsters to defend themselves.
Gu Qing Shan leapt up high, his entire body fused into the hundreds of flying swords, unleashing the power of Lightning around his body as he flew across the battlefield with all of them.
Every monster that he slashed became immobilized on the spot, only to have their lives taken away by the flying swords that came after.
The scales of victory were already tilting in humanity's favor.
"Let's go"
Gu Qing Shan told Shannu.
He brought the hundreds of flying swords across the entire battlefield, heading towards the farthest point.
— — -that was his true destination.
The powerful human cultivators and the Divinities had banded together to stop the rulers of the Age of Desolation at the border between the two worlds.
To prevent the overly powerful monsters from entering the frontlines and slaughtering human cultivators, the Divinities had explicitly forbidden normal cultivators from crossing the frontlines.
Because any Desolate leader was an existence that normal cultivators couldn't possibly fight against.
The border could only be guarded by the strongest human cultivators and the Divinities.
While flying, Gu Qing Shan recalled the war records he read before.
According to the records, the border of the two worlds this time was the Desolate world's Western Desolate and the Heaven realm's Cold Jade Forest.
The war between the Divinities erupted in that vast area.
As for the place where that Divinity died …
Gu Qing Shan quickly determined the direction based on the terrain.
He was heading towards a forest full of green trees.
— — indeed, this was the place where that Divinity and the Desolate monsters fought and died, the Heaven realm's Cold Jade Forest!
As Gu Qing Shan observed the forest, he suddenly realized something.
Something's not right.
Birds were flying freely in the sky above the forest.
There were also many beasts in the forest.
Although the living beings of this world have seen the battle between cultivators and spirit energy, they wouldn't be able to survive such an intense battle.
From afar, Gu Qing Shan put his flying swords away, turned into a bird, and flew towards the sky.
He blended into the group of birds and also made it seem like he was flying in circles.
After flying for a while, he noticed that there wasn't any battle in the forest, nor were there any Divinities or monsters.
Did I remember wrong?
No, that can't be.
The Divinity died during the second half of the war, around noon.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the sun and regained his senses.
It's not that time yet!
That's good.
— — -but how am I supposed to stay in this forest without being discovered by the Divinities and monsters?
While flying, Gu Qing Shan fell into deep thought.
Roar!!!
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering roar resounded.
The Desolate monsters are coming!
As soon as it spoke, countless beasts in the forest were knocked unconscious.
The birds in the sky also cried out in pain as they fell.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan silently cheered: "That's good!"
