Gu Qing Shan stared at his own afterimage from afar.
The sword strike was over, but the afterimage was still there.
"Ah? Strange, why hasn't it dissipated yet? "
Gu Qing Shan muttered in confusion.
Looking back, the Soul Artifact — — – [Void Slasher] — – was still hovering in the air, still absorbing his Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
He sent his will to the [Void Slasher].
Sure enough, the [Void Slasher] let out a faint 'wu wu' sound.
The afterimage flew in from afar and stopped next to Gu Qing Shan.
"In other words …"
Gu Qing Shan looked at his afterimage and raised his sword.
The afterimage also raised its sword.
Gu Qing Shan unleashed a white crescent sword phantom.
The afterimage also swung its sword, unleashing a white crescent sword phantom.
So it was the afterimage that had always been there.
— — -this Soul Artifact called [Void Slasher] can manifest a humanoid figure that fights alongside the main body.
This is basically 2 against 1.
Furthermore, the afterimage won't be destroyed by an attack, as it can be recovered with Soul Points.
As a means of attack, this effect was actually quite good.
Gu Qing Shan cut off the connection between himself and the [Void Slasher].
The afterimage disappeared.
The [Void Slasher] lightly fell and was caught by Gu Qing Shan with his hand.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought. He felt like something wasn't right.
He infused his Soul Points into the [Void Slasher].
The afterimage appeared again.
And this time, as he infused more Soul Points, the afterimage became clearer and clearer, almost exactly the same as the main body.
But the afterimage was still only a faint shadow, still cold and emotionless.
Gu Qing Shan unleashed another crescent sword phantom.
The afterimage followed suit, unleashing an even sharper sword phantom.
Sensing the difference between the two sword phantoms, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but feel shocked.
The afterimage's attack power had surpassed even that of Gu Qing Shan's main body!
Gu Qing Shan was stunned, still in disbelief.
He had never seen such a unique weapon before.
The magic treasures of the cultivation world had always relied on the Five Elements or special Five Elements. There were no such weapons.
There was no such thing in the technological side.
There might be some in the Magic Path, but most of them were weaker and couldn't withstand attacks at all.
The [Chaos] faction mostly had strange and bizarre things that hurt others and themselves, and none of them were this ferocious.
The Mystical Realm — there was no point in mentioning it. That was something incomprehensible, but it was possible that something similar existed.
As for the Savage Side, the Occult Side, the Purgatory Side, and the other endless worlds, although Gu Qing Shan didn't know if there were any similar weapons, her intuition told her that there wouldn't be too many of them.
Because —
This soul armament could duplicate the original body and unleash a power that surpassed the original body!
Based on this point alone, it had already surpassed the other replication-type weapons.
Gu Qing Shan continued to infuse more Soul Points into the Void Cleaver.
His afterimage became clearer and clearer, and the hairs on his face could almost be seen clearly.
Pa!
The afterimage suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
So there was a limit.
From the amount of Soul Points I infused, the afterimage should be able to unleash an attack that was one level higher than the original body.
If I tried to increase its power any further, the afterimage would collapse.
But as a shadow, being able to surpass the original body was already quite impressive.
Just imagine, when you're evenly matched with an enemy, you suddenly summon a more powerful comrade to fight against.
The result of the battle was self-evident.
Looking at the thumb-sized Void Cleaver, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but feel excited.
As long as I have this Soul Armament, I'll be able to unleash power that surpasses the Three Thousand Worlds realm, almost reaching the level of a Paragon realm cultivator.
No wonder so many people want a Soul Armament!
No wonder the Harpy Mother accepted it without hesitation in Triste's collection world!
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the Void Cleaver away.
He calmed himself down and returned to his workbench.
There was still a lot of work ahead.
He connected the Soul Carving Knife again and began to craft the next Soul Armament.
Time slowly passed.
Before he knew it, Gu Qing Shan had already finished crafting 12 Void Cleavers.
While he was still in a good state, he didn't stop and created the defensive Soul Armament as well.
— — Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate.
This was a very interesting item.
When faced with an attack from others, it would erupt with an overwhelming and powerful energy fluctuation, used to scare off others.
At the same time, it would turn the user into the most convenient Elemental form to escape from the scene.
Gu Qing Shan tried it himself.
He controlled the Void Cleaver to unleash an afterimage to attack himself.
The Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate immediately unleashed power fluctuations that far surpassed a Paragon realm cultivator to scare the afterimage.
Unfortunately, the afterimage was only an afterimage, it didn't react at all.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan felt himself turning into a gust of wind that silently blew past where he stood, heading towards the depths of the Abyssal Jail.
Gu Qing Shan turned around to see another 'him' standing where he was, raising his sword and roaring. His aura flared, clearly ready to risk his life.
— — -what kind of defense is this?
This is clearly a tool to escape.
Gu Qing Shan who had once again turned back into a human was a bit amused and casually put the Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate away.
He then put the Soul Carving Knife and the 12 Void Cleavers away as well as all the other materials.
After that — –
It's time to kill Magic Dragon.
Gu Qing Shan stepped onto the round disk, left the workbench, and returned to the command center.
"I want to issue an order" Gu Qing Shan said.
A cold mechanical voice resounded from the dark sky:
[The only human young man to appear in the last 100 million years, please speak]
"I want to destroy the weapon: Sleeping Magic Dragon" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Please wait a moment, I need to confirm your identity]
A circular ring of light manifested under Gu Qing Shan's feet, slowly rising above his head.
A few moments later.
The ring of light disappeared.
An electronic voice resounded:
[Identity confirmed, you are indeed human]
[Are you sure you want to destroy the sleeping Magic Dragon?]
[I am sure]
[Magic Dragon is already dead]
[I insist on carrying out this procedure]
[Your order has been confirmed, please follow the highest authority to initiate the destruction procedure]
[Understood]
Gu Qing Shan took out one of the Void Cleavers.
A strong suction force wrapped around the Void Cleaver and pulled it out of his hand, flying straight up into the sky.
The Void Cleavers flew into the dark sky and turned into a bright star.
Gu Qing Shan took out the second Void Cleavers.
This Soul Artifact also flew into the dark sky and turned into another star.
The 12 attack-type Soul Artifacts were all mounted in the dark sky, dispelling the darkness of the large space and illuminating the command center.
[Following established procedure to awaken the destructive power within Magic Dragon's soul, please wait patiently]
[When everything is ready, you will need to confirm the destruction procedure again]
"How do I confirm the procedure?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[You will need to snap your fingers]
Snap my fingers?
Gu Qing Shan didn't know what to say.
"Hm … I understand"
Saying so, he stood still and silently waited.
In the Bygone Era, humanity placed the destructive power of the Magic Dragon inside his soul.
If the Magic Dragon was still alive, he would definitely be able to sense the change that occurred in his soul.
If …
He …
Was still alive.
[You cannot kill me!]
An enraged voice rang out.
In front of Gu Qing Shan, the Magic Dragon's spirit abruptly appeared.
Although it was a soul body, its entire body was tightly bound by a huge black iron chain, and it could not move at all.
The black chain was filled with flickering grey runes, giving off a series of high-pitched screeching noises.
— — -this was a chain that was strong enough to restrain the Magic Dragon's soul.
Furthermore.
Invisible waves of energy enveloped Gu Qing Shan's body for several dozen meters around him, completely protecting him.
The cold mechanical voice resounded again:
[The destructive power of the soul is still being awakened, defensive measures have been activated, please do not worry]
Gu Qing Shan nodded and looked at the Magic Dragon's spirit.
Compared to the last time they met, the other party was clearly different this time.
The pair of black horns on his head were no longer standing straight up, instead they were sticking to his head and extending backwards.
The black color on the horns was slowly peeling off to reveal the greyish texture inside.
The Magic Dragon's spirit's body was also different from last time.
Balls of grey light swam back and forth on its body. Sometimes, they would seep into its body and disappear.
This was clearly not the normal appearance of the Magic Dragon.
"What did you do to yourself?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Magic Dragon's spirit didn't answer him and simply stared at him, breathing heavily: 「 You cannot kill me 」
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Once I die, no one will be able to stop the Abyssal Fate Weaver 」 the Magic Dragon replied.
"You didn't really try to stop it when you were alive" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Magic Dragon was a bit surprised and muttered: "You know?"
"Indeed, I also know what you've always been thinking — — humanity isn't worthy of your loyalty, the power of the Abyss is your true faith" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Magic Dragon looked at him with a hesitant expression.
For a while, neither of them said anything.
The mechanical voice resounded again: [Two minutes later, the destructive power will be fully activated]
Magic Dragon abruptly laughed in a frenzy.
"Finally, an idiot came, he was so naïve that he wanted to kill me, ahahahaha!"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and doubtfully asked: "Have you gone mad?"
The Magic Dragon looked up to the sky and roared: "How regretful! How regretful! I was so close to completely turning into the Abyss and getting rid of the burden on my soul, why did a human have to come here at this time!? "
"Sorry, I was a bit slow" Gu Qing Shan said.
Magic Dragon abruptly stopped and looked at Gu Qing Shan again.
He seemed to have calmed down and slowly spoke: "Ever since the Bygone Era, no one has ever tried to kill me, because I am a flawed weapon"
"Flawed?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
"Indeed, a huge flaw"
The Mystic Dragon grinned, revealing a mouthful of hideous teeth.
"When you humans created me, you designed a Causality Law: Every 200,000 years, I would be able to wake up and devour the living beings infected by Magic Dragon's blood, thus becoming stronger"
"I know about that" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Magic Dragon stared closely at Gu Qing Shan with a mocking look: "Then do you know that if someone kills me, they will take over that Causality Law and become the new Magic Dragon?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I understand, that's why the one who killed you was the Abyssal Jail's central command, not me"
Magic Dragon mocked her: "Do you think the Causality Law is a joke? Although you couldn't kill me with your own hands, since I died because of you, according to the Causality Law, you will not be able to obtain the power that I've been accumulating for so many years. You will become the first and weakest Magic Dragon "
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Magic Dragon smirked triumphantly and continued: "No one has ever tried to activate the command to kill me, because no one is willing to give up their human identity and become an anomaly, a weapon that humanity will no longer accept"
His voice slowly became malicious: "All humans will instinctively fear you and stay away from you, because as soon as you come into contact with their bodies, you will spread the Magic Dragon's bloodline onto them — — - that way, they will have to choose whether to be devoured by you or kill you first"
"You will become the source of the curse of certain death"
"You will turn into a monster that everyone loathes and hates"
"From then on, for a long time to come, you will not be able to find any of your own kind, and no human will dare to approach you. You will only be able to wander around in eternal loneliness"
His tone suddenly became hurried and full of provocation:
"Pitiful guy, it's not too late to repent. You have to let me go, and then you'll maintain your identity as a human. You'll return to your own world as a normal person and have everything that belongs to you."
At this point, the cold and emotionless mechanical voice finally resounded:
[The power of destruction has been fully activated]
[Please give your orders]
Magic Dragon looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan lowered her head and said nothing.
Magic Dragon's voice became a bit gentler and whispered: "Give up, child, you still have a lot of beautiful things to do, there's no need to turn yourself into a monster"
Time slowly passed.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan slowly looked up and sighed: "Fate has never been something that we can choose"
