Gu Qing Shan took out the Lapis Card and placed it on the [Kindling] UI.
As his gaze fell onto the Card, the black fog that covered the entire Card slowly gathered and manifested as a suit of armor that exuded black smoke.
Immediately, the [Kindling] UI began to explain this Card:
[Lapis Weapon Card: Black Smog Armor (Full Set)]
[Description: The Black Smog Armor is the prototype of the Demon King's armor, although it has only been completed, it already possesses a lot of defensive capabilities]
[This armor has the following characteristics:]
[Toughness: Every time the armor receives damage, it will be shared by the entire armor.]
[Self Repair: The armor will automatically repair itself whenever it's damaged, the speed of repair depends on the amount of Soul Points you expend]
[Black Smog Embrace: When you stand still, the black smog will conceal your whereabouts, only enemies two realms higher than you will be able to detect you]
Reading through this description, Gu Qing Shan slowly sighed.
As a sword cultivator, he really needed a reliable set of armor.
Someone lent him a set of armor last time, but that was a family heirloom, and that cultivator even died because of it, so Gu Qing Shan wasn't shameless enough to ask for a set of armor from them.
And now, he finally had a set of armor that belonged to him.
Gu Qing Shan took out this Card and placed it on top of the Lapis Card [Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan] just like Little Dusk did.
The Card then disappeared.
At the same time, a set of armor that exuded black smoke appeared out of thin air.
Although this set of armor gave off an evil aura that seemed to devour everything, the armor's elegant design gave off a sense of nobility and elegance, which was quite unexpected.
As soon as the armor appeared, it scattered into countless components that quickly circled around Gu Qing Shan.
The entire set of armor was donned in a single breath's worth of time.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan put on this set of armor, he seemed a bit more mysterious.
He casually moved around and found that the armor was both sturdy and light, fitting perfectly with his body and didn't affect his movements at all.
This was even rarer.
Suddenly, a voice as heavy as a mountain sounded, "What do you plan to do next?"
Gu Qing Shan answered naturally, "Of course it's to fight on the battlefield."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
This voice …
Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a long box and quickly opened it.
The Earth sword.
The cracked Earth sword was still lying inside.
"You're awake? How do you feel? "
Gu Qing Shan asked in a deep voice.
He noticed that the magical fluctuations around the Earth sword had completely disappeared.
In other words, Xie Dao Ling's [Time Freeze] technique had lost its effect.
The Earth sword was already on the verge of collapsing, and now that the temporal technique used to protect it had disappeared, it could enter a state of rapid destruction at any moment.
The Earth sword replied: 「 I can't move right now, because I'll probably die if I do 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you recover as soon as possible"
「 How fast? 」 the Earth sword asked.
"As soon as possible" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Men … can't be faster than women 」 the Earth sword was breathing heavily.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised and couldn't help but facepalm.
This sword is already about to shatter, yet it still likes to talk trash like this. Enough already.
The Earth sword continued: 「 In truth, after you entered this phantom image, I had already slowly awakened and saw what you did 」
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 At the time, it was a bit hard to talk, but now that I've grasped the technique to send my voice in a broken state, I can finally communicate with you again 」 the Earth sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Suddenly, flying swords gradually appeared behind him.
They were the flying swords of the sword cultivators who died on the frontlines, a total of 699 of them.
All the flying swords let out a mournful cry.
The Chao Yin sword also appeared from the void of space.
It flew around the Earth sword, occasionally letting out a reluctant 'wu wu' sound.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
What does that mean?
Could it be — —
Gu Qing Shan's heart slowly sank into the bottomless abyss.
"Tell me, what's your current state?" he tried his best to ask with a calm voice.
The Earth sword replied: 「 I'm fine, I'll probably be fine until you actually find a girlfriend 」
Gu Qing Shan pursed his lips.
He could hear a sense of strain from the Earth sword's voice.
— — -the Earth sword was already feeling a bit strained after only saying a few words.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes twitched a bit as he looked at the [Kindling] UI.
The [Order] had always had the most basic function, which was to display items.
At this point, lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:
[Earth sword, weighs 86,370,000 tons, has the artifact spirit Thaumaturgy: Bear Your Own Weight]
[This sword is on the verge of shattering, artifact spirit is about to perish]
Gu Qing Shan silently read these two lines of blood-red text and asked [Kindling]: "How much longer can it last?"
[Kindling] replied: [The Order is currently in its nascent state, it's a bit hard to check the sword's current state, please pay 1000 Soul Points]
[Pay]
[Very well, the Order is currently checking]
"The results of the investigation are out. In one day, it will completely collapse."
One day!
Gu Qing Shan felt like all the blood in his body was about to freeze.
One day isn't enough time to do anything.
He stared blankly at the Earth sword, unable to say anything.
At this point, the Earth sword seemed to have noticed and spoke: 「 Gu Qing Shan, you don't need to save me anymore 」
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan blankly asked.
「 Because if you save me, you'll be abandoning your path 」 the Earth sword replied.
"My path?" Gu Qing Shan didn't quite understand.
「 That's right, you're a sword cultivator, not a killing machine — — even if you fell into the Wraith Realm to save me and fought against countless evil creatures, the more you fight against them, the more you'll look like an evil creature 」
The Earth sword's voice was full of worry: 「 Not to mention, you've once again carried the [Demon King Order] — — - what it wants to nurture is a Demon King, not a sword cultivator, so it must be constantly trying to change you 」
"Don't worry, I won't be changed" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Earth sword continued: 「 When a person fights against an evil dragon for too long, they'll also become an evil dragon. When a person falls into the [Demon King Order] and the evil creatures, they'll eventually become one of them 」
The Earth sword sighed, then continued: 「 Gu Qing Shan, I hope that you'll always be a sword cultivator, not an evil creature 」
「 Gu Qing Shan, you don't need to fight against the evil creatures to save me, and don't make any deals with the [Demon King Order]. As long as you maintain the heart of a sword cultivator, as your sword, I can die without regrets 」
Gu Qing Shan silently listened.
These were most likely the Earth sword's last words.
It didn't want him to get involved again.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then muttered:
"Rest well, after you've recovered, you'll fight by my side"
Saying so, he closed the box, carefully sealed it, and put it back into his Inventory Bag.
Following that, he took out a large map and spread it out at his feet.
— — -this was a map of the Wraith Realm that he left behind during his previous trip to the Wraith Realm.
Such a map was worth enough to exchange for a large amount of resources in the Wraith Realm.
On the map, several thousand Wraith realms were scattered all over the place.
But if you take a closer look, you'll notice that these scattered Wraith realms were divided into three main groups.
These three groups belonged to the three most powerful Fiend Kings of the Wraith Realm.
The Blood Demon Duke.
The Holy Pure Priestess.
The Lord of Total Distortion.
The last time Gu Qing Shan came to the Wraith Realm, she attracted the attention of the three Fiend Kings because she fused too many fragments of the Wraith Realm.
As her pursuers approached the Wraith Realm, Gu Qing Shan conveniently offered the fused Wraith Realm to the Blood Demon Duke and escaped.
After all, the Xie Qi Fiend Realm was originally within the Blood Demon Duke's sphere of influence.
But this time was different.
I only have one day, so I have to think of a way to delay the Earth sword's death.
The Blood Demon Duke worshipped violence and offensive techniques, he didn't specialize in temporal, sealing, or life-related abilities.
The Holy Pure Priestess wasn't good either. She forced everyone to call her 'Holy' or 'Pure', but in truth, all she had were charm and sacrificial techniques.
Even the Blood Demon Duke of the previous generation was charmed by her in battle and became a ghost under her skirt.
Gu Qing Shan suspected that the Fiendess was also her disciple.
Even the Holy Pure Priestess' power couldn't save the Earth sword.
And so — — -
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned towards a faraway ocean.
The Chaos Demonic Sea.
This was the Lord of Total Distortion's sphere of influence.
This Fiend King had many Mystic-type abilities and was the most eerie existence among the several thousand Wraith Realms.
Under normal circumstances, even the Holy Pure Priestess wouldn't want to provoke this Fiend King.
From the Fiend King's several ten thousand years of fighting, he didn't have any Mystic-type abilities that could delay the Earth sword's life either.
But this ocean was Gu Qing Shan's only hope.
Because the Lord of Total Distortion had clearly stated that only evil creatures with Mystic-type abilities could move about within the Chaos Demonic Sea.
Time, Fate, Life, Destruction, and Alteration, all of these were related to Mysticism.
In other words, only the Chaos Demonic Sea had unique evil creatures that might have a Mystic-type ability to slow time!
Gu Qing Shan quickly thought about it.
He didn't want to waste even a single minute right now.
If I really want to go to the Chaos Demonic Sea, I must have Mystic-type abilities.
Without the War God UI, I can't use [Starflame War God] Title Skill.
[War God Skills] and [War God Title] can't be used anymore, only the Thaumaturgies that I've already grasped and fused with me can be used.
Does [Dreamjolt] count as a Mystic-type ability?
What about [Shadow Shift]?
In the end, in a place like the Chaos Demonic Sea, the one that most resembles a Mystic-type ability is — —
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Chao Yin sword that was hovering next to him.
He told the Chao Yin sword: "The Earth sword won't let me save it, saying that I would fall and fall because of this, what do you think?"
Ooo — — ooo — —
The Chao Yin sword let out a sorrowful cry.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "That's right, it's about to die, yet it's still running out to spout such nonsense — — in truth, which evil creature is more vicious than I am? The reason why the evil creatures are with me is because they want to be on guard against themselves falling, don't you think so? "
Xiu xiu — —
The Chao Yin sword understood what he meant and hurriedly tapped its hilt, letting out a whistling sound.
"You also agree with me? Very well "Gu Qing Shan pointed at the ocean on the map and said:" This is the Chaos Demonic Sea, where there's an ocean, I need you to fight alongside me. Let's find a way to save the Earth sword, what do you say? "
Oong!!!
