Chapter 1845: Battle and departure

Translator: La009

The dark Huang Quan realm.

A single page of the Samsara Heavenly Tome was slowly descending.

The page’s resonance with the Huang Quan realm was growing increasingly stronger, the light it radiated slowly filling every corner of the world.

– —the second Artifact Clash was now imminent.

“Is it too late?” Leng Qian Chen furrowed his brows and said.

He turned his gaze back to the peak of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

On top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, 36 Huang Quan Divine Artifacts were spinning around in the air.

They were gathering power to strike the mass of floating black fog with their full strength one after another.

The black dragon had to be struck a total of 7200 times in order to be converted into a Huang Quan Divine Artifact and gain the qualifications to participate in the Artifact Clash.

It’s unclear whether or not they would make it in time—The skull woman suddenly said: I’ll buy some more time

She then began to mumble a chant while manifesting two bursts of green flames on her hands.

The flames were thrown into the sky, which landed in the void of space around the page.

Instantly, the void of space cracked and crumbled into a mass of darkness.

Noticing that, the page of the Heavenly Tome began to radiate an even more intense light to help the void of space mend itself.

“I thought you said we couldn’t interfere with the Artifact Clash?” Leng Qian Chen asked.

I’m not attacking the Virtuous Karma Page, I’m simply destroying the void of space around it, that’s not against the rules the skull woman replied.

Leng Qian Chen pondered her words.

As the void ofspace is broken, the connection between the page and the Huang Quan realm would become slower and more difficult.

That can indeed be considered a way to stall.

“…Let’s hope Gu Qing Shan can make it in time”

Leng Qian Chen took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

The 36 Divine Artifacts looked as if they had gone made, currently attacking the black mass of fog with reckless abandon.

-if Gu Qing Shan doesn’t make it in time, then all Divine Artifacts without a wielder would be consumed by the Virtuous Karma Page!

The situation in the Huang Quan realm has reached a critical point.

The skull woman raised her hands again.

r

lX’V0 more bursts of green flames manifested.

Go!

With a grunt from the skull woman, the two bursts of green flames shot into the sky and burnt away the void of space around the page again.

“We’d be able to stall infinitely like this” Leng Qian Chen excitedly commented.

At the very next moment.

The situation changed- –

An illusion of the Forgetting River suddenly manifested around the skull woman.

The water was restless with fog and mist drifting atop.

As if some wondrous noise was calling out to her from the end of the river——

Not good, I can’t stop the Virtuous Karma Page anymore Il the skull woman spoke in a heavy tone.

“What happened?” Leng Qian Chen asked while completely clueless.

– -the Virtuous Karma Page didn’t make any attacks, why can’t the High Deity stop it anymore?

At this point, from the depths of the Forgetting River, a small dinghy gradually drifted closer.

The skull woman sighed and boarded the dinghy.

Xie Dao Ling is caught in an extremely dangerous struggle, as I have signed a covenant with her, I have no choice but to immediately leave Huang Quan to aid her the skull woman explained.

Leng Qian Chen couldn’t help but ask: “Why is she suddenly in trouble?”

To save a disciple of her sect, she willingly put herself within the control of the previous Heavenly Emperor- as well as accepting all of Gu Qing Shan’s karma. Right now, she’s in extreme danger so I must act to help her, in accordance to our covenant

The flames in the skull woman’s eye sockets turned spiky as she looked at the Virtuous Karma Page in the sky, her voice full of discontent.

In an instant, the entire illusion disappeared.

And so did the skull woman.

-she’s gone to the Human realm to aid Xie Dao Ling in battle.

Leng Qian Chen’s heart grew completely cold and desperate.

The previous Heavenly Emperor hasn’t even shown himself.

But hes already managed to predict every last detail and forced the High Deity ofHuang Quan to depart for the Human realm.

Who else would be able to stop the Virtuous Karma Page from becoming the Huang Quan PrimaryArtifact now?

His surroundings suddenly became silent.

Sensing something, Leng Qian Chen abruptly turned towards the peak of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

The 36 Divine Artifacts had all stopped their barrage and retreated.

While the mass of black fog had fully reformed- – –

It was now a long rectangular pillar that stood straight on top of the mountain.

The outside of the pillar was engraved with numerous mystical runes that were everchanging, continuously shifting and moving around.

A humanoid form was manifesting from within the pillar.

As the humanoid took a step forward, he swiftly became detached from the pillar and was now standing on top of the mountain.

It was Gu Qing Shan.

He looked up at the Virtuous Karma Page in the sky and declared in a low tone: “From today, I have become a Huang Quan Divine Artifact, the representation of death and slumber. My body manifests the final power of humanity, and with that power I shall be your competition for the position of Huang Quan Primary Artifact”

As soon as he said that, the long black pillar of metal behind him became scattered into millions of pieces, then instantly reformed into the shape of a giant eyeball that peered into the Boundless Void.

“The will of the Samsara… is hibernating, then so long as you can alter the rules, so can I”

Seemingly being able to observe something, Gu Qing Shan lightly lifted his hand.

The giant eyeball once again turned into a mass of black fog before reforming into the shape of a humongous faceless head.

The head spoke with a booming voice:

As the Supreme Soul Artifact of humanity, I hereby pronounce the rules: J r Unless one side purposefully retreats, this competition shall only cease with the complete death of either J

Within the Huang Quan realm, both the void of space and the ground began to tremble.

1 He LdVV3 UI 11Ctu lecUb111Leu sugge3L1011.

Lines of bloody red text swiftly followed:

[You’ve invoked the power of the Soul Artifact of War: Rules Alteration]

[You’ve altered the rules of the Artifact Clash]

[From this moment onwards, unless one side purposefully retreats, the competition will not stop until one side’s death]

[Your competitor: The Samsara Heavenly Tome]

The text suddenly began to glow.

Gu Qing Shan stood still.

In the sky, a booming voice spoke from within the Virtuous Karma Page:

r How very surprising for the final power of humanity to still manifest after so many years J r Among all of my predictions, this is the worst possible case J

– – – -the previous Heavenly Emperor.

“If this is the worst case, you must have made ample preparations to deal with this level of danger” Gu Qing Shan commented.

Of course, you are worthy of me getting a bit serious—— I shall have the complete Samsara Heavenly Tome descend upon Huang Quan to take your life

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice disappeared.

The Virtuous Karma Page that was floating in the sky have begun to give off a colorful glow.

Out of nowhere, several more pages manifested before coming together to form a complete book.

-the Primary Artifact of the Heaven realm and Wraith realm, the Samsara Heavenly Tome!

In the past, it was thanks to both this artifact and the [One Being Myriad Lives] technique that the Heavenly Emperor managed to defeat the Huang Quan Devil King!

As Gu Qing Shan observed the Heavenly Tome, he could feel a faint but obvious prickling sensation on his skin.

His spirit sense had manifested so clearly that it’s directly affecting his body.

He could sense the power of the Samsara Heavenly Tome, as well as the results of a direct confrontation with it.

– – -while humanity’s supreme Soul Artifact of War is indeed very powerful, even the Human realm at their peak lost to the Huang Quan Devil King and the Heavenly Emperor.

If they fought now…

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything and simply pulled out the Delimitation Divine Sword, pointing it towards the void of space.

Delimitation Thaumaturgy, [Behold]!

In an instant, numerous overlapping images manifested into a rapid vision.

Everything that occurred while he was enduring the barrage from the 36 Divine Artifacts was being replayed.

The skull woman boarded the dinghy and followed the Forgetting River through the void of space to make her way into the Human realm.

All the events were displayed in a mere 2 seconds.

“This is the [Forgetting River] Divine Skill… Shifu…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered under his breath.

– -the skull woman was brought to the Human realm through their covenant.

In other words, the situation where Shifu is at must also be very dangerous.

As expected, the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t miss anything in his calculations.

No matter what kind of hand I play on my side, he’s already prepared a coup termeasure for it.

Then…

How would I manage to win against him?

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze shifted slightly.

Come to think of it, the only time I managed to observe the secret of the fake

Heavenly Emperor and the Samsara, as well as finding out about the Eternal Mind Seizer was because- –

I didn’t even Imow what step to take next.

At the time, I used a fragment of the Delimitation Divine Sword to hit myself, triggering its [Repel Evil] power to send me in a random direction away from Star Gazer city.

And then, I summoned a pixie.

-no one can know for sure what a pixie would do next.

So that was the only time I managed to escape the Heavenly Emperor’s calculations.

In that case…

Gu Qing Shan started to formulate a plan.

Although it seemed to be a long time, it had actually only been a few breath’s worth of time.

Another line of bloody red text appeared in front of his vision:

[Attention, the Clash has begun!]

In the sky, the Samsara Heavenly Tome began to radiate a brilliant light, rapidly manifesting numerous lines of incantations.

Gu Qing Shan remained motionless.

From the void of space next to him, an autumn-river-like sword silently appeared.

The sword then transformed into an aloof beauty who stood next to him.

“Gongzi?” Shannu spoke in a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan toss her the Devil King Warden Rod.

“The rule is that it ‘will not stop until one side’s death’——- so all you have to do is run. Whenever that becomes impossible, return to Hell and rest, no need to risk your life” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.

“Understood ! ”

Shannu looked up at the Samsara Heavenly Tome and began to emanate a miraculous fluctuation.

Thaumaturgy, [Living’s Wisdom]!

— -she can use all of Gu Qing Shan’s abilities!

Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward.

Shannu immediately took his hand.

In an instant, Shannu transformed into him, while Gu Qing Shan had transformed back into his necromancer Rhode form.

[Ultimate Mystery of All Beings Equal]!

They both invoked this [Ultimate Mystery] at the same time to assume different identities.

Shannu now assumed the identity of the Bygone Era Ultimate Soul Artifact of War and would officially take part in this Artifact Clash.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing Shan had returned to his Death God identity and is no longer part of the Artifact Clash.

“Gongzi, I’m going” Shannu declared.

“Hm, I’ll trouble you with that” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shannu’s body shifted before she leapt into the sky, transforming into a black dragon clad in black flames that fully eclipsed the sky.

Boom ——

A resounding sound of explosion, followed by a bright blue flash!

The sound barrier as well as lightspeed were both instantly surpassed.

In that instant, the black dragon had already broken through into the void of space and fled somewhere unknown.

After a short pause, the Samsara Heavenly Tome instantly broke through the void of space to pursue it.

The Artifact Clash’s rule is that it will not stop until the death of one party.

-if it wanted to become the Huang Quan Primary Artifact, it must find the black dragon, then defeat it!

Both Divine Artifacts had disappeared from the Huang Quan realm.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan turned to Leng Qian Chen.

“I need to go to the Human realm to rescue my Shifu, as well as resolve a critical matter involving humanity” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What matter?” Leng Qian Chen asked.

“The Bygone Era’s humanity only brought with them a part of the Samsara’s Human heritage, the other part is being hidden within the Human realm Origin Tomb”

“In the past, humanity lost to the Heavenly Emperor during the Clash, so they used that bloody experience as a basis; not only to create the Calamity Dragon of Annihilation, but also another creation in an attempt to triumph against the Heavenly Emperor during the consequent Clash”

– — -That creation had been floating through the Boundless Void until it was picked up by the Pantheon during the Age of Immemorial, then passed down by the descendants of the Pantheon for countless years, eventually making its way to my homeworld and becoming intertwined with my fate —- – – only after finding it would I have truly obtained the complete last power of humanity” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“Then go” Leng Qian Chen replied.

“Brother Leng, after I leave, I need you to go to Hell. Hell lies within the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, which is our final bastion of safety; protect it and do not come out” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Alright, I’ll keep watch over Hell” this time, Leng Qian Chen didn’t refuse.

Gu Qing Shan nodded to him, then slowly walked backwards.

The void of space behind him gradually cracked and broke.

A vision of gloomy tombstones and graves would be seen.

He had gone to the Human realm..
