Chapter 1746 The only thing I desire
Rumble rumbleâââ
A deep gash was ripped open on the ground, causing dust and dirt to be blown up into the sky, obscuring everyoneâs vision.
The entire Elements War Zone was plunged into a giant persistent earthquake.
Gu Qing Shan was still flying through the air as he scanned the ground with his eyes.
âThis world looks like itâs about to be ruined!â
He muttered to himself.
Xie Dao Ling curtly replied: âYou killed that void monster and established the main Five Elements, of course such a thing would occurâ
Gu Qing Shan turned his vision towards the void of space and read the new lines of bloody red text that had just appeared:
(Youâve killed the amalgamation of the void monsters]
[Elemental Earth and Elemental Fire had both settled down)
[The main Five Elements have been established)
(The Human realm will enjoy a prosperous period of development]
(Youâve obtained the following amount of Merit: 50,000 points]
(Attention!)
[The following is a special message:]
(Youâve killed almost all the monsters of the void, leaving only the last one and their sovereign alive]
[It has hidden its true name and traces, thus taking refuge within the Samsara]
[Find it, and kill it]
(When you kill that void monster, you will obtain the Title: Void War God]
All the red text flashed and disappeared.
50,000 points of Merit was naturally a great amount.
What Gu Qing Shan didnât think about was that there was, once again, hope for him to obtain the [Void War God] Title.
However, he didnât have time to think about that right now.
Gu Qing Shan looked up and stared closely at the illusory layered worlds in the sky.
Numerous ferocious howls could be heard from within the illusory layered world, which reverberated throughout the world.
âââthe Heavenly Emperor had been pulled in there by some sort of Apocalyptic monster and hadnât emerged.
Could it be...
âCan that Apocalypse kill him?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âHeâs too powerful, that Apocalypse can only trap him there for a while at mostââ you can ignore him for now. We need to quickly come up with a way to conceal the presence of his Sealing Rope, otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor will continue to pursue and eventually find usâ Xie Dao Ling said.
She was being tightly restrained by a length of metal rope, both of her hands tied behind her back without being able to move at all.
Examining the metal rope restraining her, Gu Qing Shan felt impatient.
ââif only.
If only the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was here, or the Earth sword, or even the Heaven sword, I would be able to destroy this sealing rope with a single strike.
But right now, thatâs not possible!
Xie Dao Ling silently observed his expression and softly told him: âThere is no need for you to feel frustrated, I was sealed once again by the Heavenly Emperor merely because he possessed the power of Miraclesâ
Thatâs right, he had âMiracleâ, while I have âLuckâ, but itâs very clear that âMiracleâ currently has the upper hand, so what should I do next?
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and asked: âWhat should we do now?â
Xie Dao Ling replied: âWe need to find one or more treasuresââ- better yet if theyâre a sealing or restraining treasure, I would be able to use it to conceal the presence that this metal rope gives off so that the Heavenly Emperor wouldnât be able to find usâ
Gu Qing Shan immediately thought of something
He looked around, only to see that his surroundings were already filled with snow.
At some unknown point, he had returned to the giant snow plateau from before.
âI understand. I know of a restraining-type treasure hereâ
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
He first confirmed his location, then quickly found the place he was looking for.
âLetâs go, weâre heading down!â
A brass knuckle appeared once again and lightly tapped him on the chest.
The two of them immediately began to descend like a shooting star in a certain direction.
When they were close to the ground, Gu Qing Shan used martial footwork to slow down and gradually landed.
âHey, we meet againâ Gu Qing Shan said. In front of him, the humanoid snake monster was sitting on the snow-covered ground, its body restrained by several lengths of black chains so that it couldnât move away from where it was.
What exactly is going on? ÄŻthe monster hesitantly asked.
âThis place is about to be destroyed, so Iâm planning to let you goâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Are you really that kind? I refuse to believe it! the monster scoffed.
Gu Qing Shan turned to Xie Dao Ling.
âThat certainly is a restraining item, but itâs not exactly a treasure, so we can only give it a try and see what happensâ Xie Dao Ling said.
ââthereâs no other choice.
Gu Qing Shan continued to shield her while the two of them moved toward the monster.
What are you planning? ]
The monster asked.
ââIâve already suffered enough at this bratâs hand, so I wonât try to fight him again.
If he goes crazy again, Iâm the one whoâs going to be flayed and buried.
âDonât move, and loosen your restraintsâ Gu Qing Shan said. Xie Dao Ling had already crouched down and found the other end of the black chains, which she lightly touched with her hand.
âLight and dark, destruction and creation, a thousand techniques return to oneâ
She softly chanted.
The black chains then transformed into a black snake that began to slither through the snow and climbed up Xie Dao Lingâs arm.
The silver rope restraining Xie Dao Lingâs body immediately sensed that and transformed into a long insect that began to size up the black snake.
After a few moments.
The two black and white creatures lurched forward at the same time, coiling around one another, trying to rip and tear one another apart.
Xie Dao Ling coldly observed this for a short while before placing both her hands together and forming a seal.
âCoil!â
Instantly, both the black snake and the silver insect twisted around each other to form a black and silver bracelet, which she wore on her hand.
Being released, the humanoid snake monster uttered a loud cry before leaping into the air and running away without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan didnât want to pay attention to it, only focusing his attention on the bracelet and asked:
âThat braceletâ- can you throw it away?â
âThe Heavenly Emperorâs technique was infused with the power of miracles, so I canât throw it awayâ Xie Dao Ling replied. While the two of them spoke, the silver half of the bracelet suddenly leapt towards the black half and crashed into it with considerable force.
Bang!
The black portion of the bracelet fell to the ground and turned back into a mass of broken black chain links.
Xie Dao Ling frowned: âNot good, this Gu insect was probably the strongest sealing technique that the Heavenly Emperor is capable of, other sealing treasures wonât be able to restrain itâ
asures v
While she said that, the bracelet had turned back into a silver rope and tied Xie Dao Ling up again.
At the same timeââ-
Far above the sky, the sound of booming thunder could be heard.
The illusory layered world hovering in the sky was continuously collapsing.
The Heavenly Emperorâs voice echoed throughout the world:
âYou dare try to interrupt my business by yourself!? DIE!â
A desperate scream then followed.
âOh no, heâs going to escape from being trapped soonâ Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He began trying to wrack his brain, thinking over and over if there was anything else that could be considered a treasure.
ââunfortunately, this was the Elements War Zone, how could there be any actual treasure here?
Xie Dao Ling sighed and spoke with a resolute tone of voice: âFrom the looks of it, there are no other solutionsâ
Hearing her words, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
If there were no other solutionsââ-
Would that mean that the Heavenly Emperor would capture her again?
With Xie Dao Lingâs personality, she must have been initially captured because she needed to stall for time so that her main soul could enter reincarnation and escape; not to mention how it happened when she was at her weakest.
How could she let him capture her again?
Most likely, she would rather destroy herself than fall into an enemyâs hands once again.
Thatâs right, thatâs the kind of person she had always been.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked up at Xie Dao
Ling.
Only to see that Xie Dao Ling was silently staring back at him.
Her clear, brilliant black irises reflected a rare expression of worry and hesitation on his face, fully discerning his thoughts.
âWithin the Samsara, the ultimate thing of desires for the strongest have always been the Samsara Dharmasâ
Xie Dao Ling calmly continued: âFrom the black chains earlier, I managed to siphon another bit of power, which will allow me to pass down everything I know to you. They are the ideals of six unique powers, capable of driving countless Combatants into a frenzyâ
âââBecause by obtaining them, they would become qualified for the position of Heavenly Emperorâ
âRemember, the Dharma was divided into six portions, which respectively present the Heaven realmâs Heavenly Arts, the Human realmâs Dao Arts, the Asura realmâs Combat Arts, the Beast King realmâs Transformative Arts, the Wraith realmâs Devouring Arts, and the Huang Quan realmâs Crossing Arts. They are all the supreme secret arts of each respective practice, so quickly form this hand seal and touch between my eyebrows, I will bestow them all to you!â
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan took a step backwards.
âNoâ he muttered. âHurry up and come here, after bestowing it all to you, I will no longer have any regretsâ Xie Dao Ling urged him.
Gu Qing Shan replied: âThe best solution is for you to fuse with your present incarnation, not self-destruct, isnât that right?â
Xie Dao Ling explained: âI originally had a Secret Art to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from obtaining any of the Samsara secrets from me, but after I awakened this time, the Secret Art was already goneâ
âThe Heavenly Emperor hasnât noticed it, but he will soon realize the truthââ- if he captures me once again, he would be able to obtain the Heaven realmâs Dharma from meâ
âThat is why I must destroy myself!â
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: âNo, I refuse to accept that outcomeâ
âDonât stallâ- as a direct disciple of mine, you should be a resolute individual who doesnât hesitateâ Xie Dao Ling frowned.
Gu Qing Shan replied with a heavy tone: âI donât desire any Heaven realmâs Dharma, or any power from the Asura, Human, Huang Quan, or Wraith realm, they are insignificant to meâ
He faced Xie Dao Lingâs gaze head-on and firmly told her: âYou need to live and find your âotherâ self, fuse together, and become complete once againâââ itâs ok if you donât want to be the Heavenly Emperor anymore, but you need to surviveâ
âThat is the only thing that this Gu Qing Shan desiresâ
