"Lin, wouldn't killing these lice draw the attention of the Abyssal Behemoths?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You don't need to think too highly of yourself" Lin told her.
"I understand, I'm actually nothing more than a speck of dust" Gu Qing Shan smiled self-deprecatingly.
"That's right" Lin agreed.
"That's why I can fight as I please"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took off the hood of the Silent Dusk cloak.
This way, the Bramble Bird Sovereign armor was made of pure light, while the cloak looked like a black cloak that silently draped over his shoulders.
Darkness and light, cloak and armor, it made Gu Qing Shan look like a divine emissary.
"This armor is quite nice" Lin observed him and commented.
The Bramble Bird Sovereign armor had the three defensive Thaumaturgies [Elemental Elimination], [Invulnerability], and [God's Order], making it the strongest armor Gu Qing Shan had ever seen.
It was because of this that this ancient armor was worthy of Lin's praise.
"I'm going to try it out" Gu Qing Shan said.
He drew an autumn-water-like sword from the void of space, leapt up, and flew into the sky.
Without any hesitation, Gu Qing Shan charged into the horde of monsters.
Intense sword phantoms illuminated the night sky.
Lin looked up.
Only to see that Gu Qing Shan was rampaging through the horde of monsters, occasionally getting hit by a few of them, but completely unharmed.
But whenever he swung his sword, the monsters would scream in agony.
A rain of blood rained down from the sky.
Gu Qing Shan still didn't relax, caught the Earth sword that came flying towards him from afar and attacked with both swords.
One sword to break all Laws, one sword to destroy all things.
— — the wielder of both swords was a sword cultivator who wore the Bramble Bird Sovereign armor and didn't need to defend himself.
Even if he ran into stronger monsters, he couldn't do anything against Gu Qing Shan's swords.
In front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes, lines of Soul Points were constantly refreshing.
Soul power was the real currency!
Gu Qing Shan didn't hold back. She flew and weaved through the crowd of monsters, sometimes suddenly appearing and disappearing.
He killed the monsters with all his might, sweeping away everything in his way.
After watching for a while, Lin couldn't help but mutter: "Sure enough, equipment is also a huge factor that decides the outcome of a battle, I really didn't think about this before"
She simply found a place to sit down and quietly watched Gu Qing Shan kill the monsters as if they were vegetables.
Finally, Gu Qing Shan's massacre alarmed the strongest of the monsters.
It was a long-legged skeleton that was stronger than all the other monsters. Its body was even bigger than the five monsters combined.
It poked its head out from the depths of the sky, then quietly fell into the crowd of monsters, hiding behind Gu Qing Shan for dozens of miles.
As the monster approached Gu Qing Shan, Gu Qing Shan suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of Lin.
"Oi, that monster is around {Yama King} realm, I can't win against it, so I'll have to rely on you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I can only throw a few punches right now, I can't make any large movements or my wounds will be torn open again" Lin scowled and said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a second and walked in front of her.
"What do you want?" Lin asked.
"Punch me with all your strength" Gu Qing Shan gestured.
"You're crazy … that's a good idea"
Lin sat still, clenched her fist, and punched Gu Qing Shan with all her strength.
The sound of explosions resounded from the void of space around her arm, showing just how terrifying this punch was.
— — if this punch connected, Gu Qing Shan would most likely not be able to survive.
But Gu Qing Shan stood still without moving or dodging.
As for Lin, she didn't hesitate at all.
As the punch was about to strike Gu Qing Shan's chest, Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared.
In her place was the {Yama King} realm monster.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
Roar?
The monster stared blankly at Lin, unable to understand what was going on, it had already received Lin's full-powered punch.
Bam!
A heavy resounding sound reverberated in all directions.
The monster's entire body was smashed into meat paste by this punch, scattering everywhere until it couldn't be seen anymore.
A single punch!
A single punch was enough to kill a {Yama King} realm monster!
Lin pulled her hand back, her expression calm without changing at all.
She looked up at the sky.
Gu Qing Shan was still going on a killing spree, not a single monster could stop his sword.
If that's the case, I don't need to do anything myself.
Lin silently thought so.
Right as she was about to find a place to sit down and be a spectator, Gu Qing Shan descended from the sky like a meteor, landing in front of her.
"What's the matter?" Lin hurriedly asked.
"Help me hold them off for a bit, my cultivation suddenly reached a bottleneck, I need a bit of time" Gu Qing Shan told her.
Lines of glowing text kept appearing on his retina.
[Card: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan, about to enter Azure grade]
[Please note: You must immediately make adjustments to your existing cards, otherwise this advancement will fail]
[If the advancement fails, you will not be able to attempt another advancement for the next 60 days]
[Would you like to begin adjusting your Cards now?]
[Attention, during the process of adjusting your Cards, you must be in a meditative state]
— — -even the [Blood Sea God Army] Card had been used up, if this advancement fails, I'll have to wait for 60 days.
If that's the case, Gu Qing Shan really couldn't think of anything else.
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist: "This is a very crucial point in my cultivation, if there's really no other way, please help me hold them off for a bit"
"That's the only way, cultivators like you are always more troublesome than others" Lin helplessly replied.
"Hah, thank you"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan sat down cross-legged and focused all of her attention on adjusting her Cards.
On the War God UI, the Lapis Cards he obtained were displayed at the center of the UI.
[Rare Item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[Skill Card: Bleed]
[Black Smog Armor (full set) (Unusable)]
…
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the Black Smog Armor.
This Card was actually drawn for him by the [Demon King Order], aside from defense, it also had the ability to conceal himself, so it had always been very useful.
Interestingly enough, after Gu Qing Shan separated from the [Demon King Order], this Card became completely unusable.
Seems like the [Demon King Order] doesn't want to make a losing deal.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
At this point, the War God UI displayed the description of the card adjustment:
"From Emerald to Azure, your ability will receive a huge boost."
"Therefore, you must give up on all of your cards, leaving only one for it to evolve into an azure blue card."
[Once you obtain the first Azure Card, Card: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan's advancement will be complete]
[Please select the only Card you wish to keep]
Reading through it, Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
And here I thought it would be difficult, so it was nothing more than this.
Without hesitation, he focused his attention on [Rare Item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
"I want this Card to advance"
Gu Qing Shan said.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"
The other Cards on the War God UI disappeared.
They turned into sprites of light that were absorbed into the [Rare Item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[Rare Item: True Crimson Demon Spear] began to change.
The red glow on the front of the Card became less blinding and slowly shrank back to the surface of the spear.
The red glow became thicker and darker, coiling around the spear in strands.
The color of the Card slowly turned from bright red to a deep red, as if to symbolize the change in some sort of power.
Lines of glowing text appeared next to the Card:
[Your Card: True Crimson Demon Spear has completed its advancement]
[Rare Item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[From now on, equipping this demon spear will no longer affect your ability to wear armor]
[This demon spear has the Law property: Absolute Sharpness]
[Description: This was the first weapon created by the Old Gods to harm themselves]
"Unstoppable!"
Gu Qing Shan was glad.
The biggest problem with the [True Crimson Demon Spear] was that it couldn't be used while wearing armor.
But that problem has disappeared.
This spear's combat value is rapidly increasing.
Perhaps, I should find a few spear techniques to learn.
— — after all, this is an unstoppable spear.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, her own Card on the War God UI had flipped over and turned into an azure color.
Lines of notification popped up:
[You now have an Azure Card: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[Your Envoy of Condemnation has been promoted to Azure grade]
[You may now learn a new Card ability: Card Assembly]
All of a sudden, the content on the War God UI disappeared.
A girl in a white dress appeared on the UI.
Little Dusk.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and giggled: "Hey, this is the image I left inside the Condemnation deck, if I ever find a companion, I will use this image to help him understand the technique of Card Assembly"
"Because of that, if you can see this image, you must be my only companion"
Little Dusk clasped her hands together and happily said: "I'm going to teach you how to Card Assembly now"
She continued to draw Cards from the void of space until she had drawn a total of 12 Cards in her hand.
These Cards were displayed in front of Gu Qing Shan one by one.
"First of all, you must understand that the elements that create a world are Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind"
Little Dusk began to explain:
"Then, when we Card Assembly, we must have four Cards as a base. These four Cards must respectively contain the four elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind"
"After that, you must understand your own heart and use the Cards according to your preferences and characteristics to create a world"
"Most importantly, you must understand what exactly you are creating a world for"
Saying so, Little Dusk quickly placed the Cards in the void of space in front of her and began to assemble them one by one.
"You must be fast when assembling the Cards, you must consider the compatibility of each Card, whether or not they conflict with each other, whether or not they can fuse together, whether or not they can produce a miraculous reaction — — - this is a process that requires a lot of trial and error"
While she was explaining, she had finished assembling the 12 Cards.
"Look, this is a small world that I've assembled"
Little Dusk showed Gu Qing Shan her results as if she was showing them off.
It was a world of a sea of flowers.
Little Dusk's body lightly moved and entered the world of flowers.
She held a flower in her hand. She looked at Gu Qing Shan: "How is it? Isn't it miraculous? So many flowers, it took me a lot of effort "
She ran back and forth among the flowers, happily laughing as she went away.
The image slowly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
Indeed, Little Dusk really liked flowers. After the Divine race found out about this, they immediately sealed her away.
Because they felt that she had regained her emotions, they were afraid that she would regain her memories from the Bygone Era.
If that happened, their false identity as' Divinities' would immediately be exposed.
Little Dusk …
Where exactly is she right now?
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
I'm her only companion, so I have to save her.
At this point, the War God UI returned to normal.
Lines of glowing text appeared again:
[You've learned the basic method of assembling Cards]
[Please use your identity as an Envoy of Condemnation to assemble a small world]
[According to known information, this is the only way for you to improve your strength]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it.
Indeed, the giant corpse had said that I need to find an object that contains the Laws of the Inner Plane, seal them into a Card, then assemble a miniature Inner Plane to face my Tribulation again.
— — -that would be a normal Measure Tribulation.
But finding an object that contains the Laws of the Inner Plane would definitely be a long and arduous process.
It would definitely take a lot of effort, incalculable wealth, and a lot of time.
Fortunately, I've collected over ten thousand broken Cards from the Sky Haze empire, so I might be able to find some by using the Heaven sword to restore them.
I hope so.
…
While Gu Qing Shan was upgrading his Card, Lin replaced him and began to kill the monsters.
She rolled up her sleeves, raised both of her slender white hands, pressed all of her fingers onto her thumbs, and flicked them towards the sky.
Si si si si si!
The air was cut apart.
With just a flick of her fingers, the horde of monsters in the sky was knocked down one after another.
The monsters weren't fools, seeing that the enemy who had been biding their time for so long suddenly unleashed such power, they hurriedly ran away.
Following that, the truly powerful ones arrived.
Several dozen of the monsters that Lin killed with a single punch appeared at once.
They formed an orderly squad, led by a monster that was even more powerful than them, and charged towards Lin.
Against such power, the heavily wounded Lin couldn't stand still any longer.
Lin couldn't help but turn around to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan still had her eyes closed, still in meditation.
"Tch, seems like I won't be able to fully recover for now"
Lin regretfully said.
She held her breath and formed a defensive stance in front of Gu Qing Shan, protecting him.
All of a sudden, a leaf that gave off a bright green glow appeared.
As soon as the leaf appeared, Lin noticed it.
She recognized this leaf — — - it was this leaf that gave Gu Qing Shan his armor.
Gu Qing Shan himself had told her that this was an allied technique.
Lin ignored the green leaves and maintained her defensive stance, silently watching the monsters fly over from the depths of the sky.
But as the green leaf floated in front of her, it suddenly turned into a palm-sized space tunnel.
A transparent bottle that gave off a green glow flew out and stopped in front of Lin.
What followed was a sentence:
"Big sis, you seem to be wounded, this is the best healing medicine in the 900 million World Layers, please drink it"
Lin looked at the bottle that contained the green medicine and fell into a brief daze.
"The pixie royal family's Spring of Eternal Youth …"
She muttered, took the bottle, and opened it.
In a split second, a refreshing fragrance came from the bottle, which was blown away by the wind and quickly filled the surroundings.
Patches of green grass began to grow on the ground.
Small saplings could be seen crawling out from the ground at a visible speed, growing as they pleased.
Spring water and streams appeared.
Earthworms, beetles, grasshoppers, all sorts of tiny life forms were born.
"Sure enough, this is the real Spring of Eternal Youth, the value of this bottle is …"
Lin didn't hesitate any longer, tilted her head back, and drank all of the spring water in the bottle.
Kekekeke!
Lin's joints began to crackle.
Following that, the paleness on her face completely disappeared, replaced by a hint of red.
Pfft!
Lin spat out a mouthful of black blood.
— — -this was the blood that had accumulated in her body, being expelled by her recovered organs.
Another green leaf flew over, forming another void passage.
The little girl's voice sounded again: "Big sis, I still have to travel through a few worlds to reach here, please protect big brother for now"
Following her voice, a full set of golden armor and a pair of gauntlets that occasionally gave off the faint image of a fire elemental spirit appeared in front of Lin.
Lin looked at the golden armor, then at the pair of gauntlets, momentarily speechless.
She could only sigh.
At this point, she finally understood what the rooster meant when he said 'there is unparalleled wealth in the 900 million World Layers'.
