Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1680

This Apocalyptic monster is one that cannot be heard, cannot be spoken of, and cannot be described.

It isn’t afraid of any spells and can’t be injured by the creation of living beings.

——how is such a monster supposed to be killed?

Gu Qing Shan thought for a little bit and thought about the Apocalyptic monster’s hand.

Since the Apocalyptic monster’s hand could be severed, it’s clear that it wasn’t impossible to kill it.

Now I just need to take a closer look at the ha—–

Huh?

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to search, but couldn’t find the fleshy pulp that fell out of the giant demonic egg anywhere.

“Strange, where is that hand just now?” he couldn’t help but question himself.

「 I ate it all 」the Overlooker of Myriad Realms answered him.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

Ate it all?

Are you a hungry ghost or something?

I still need to rely on that hand to come up with a solution, can you not be in such a hurry to eat?

Perhaps feeling a bit awkward, Overlooker of Myriad Realms explained: 「 I’ve always wanted to consume these Apocalyptic monsters, but if I directly descended upon your location, that Apocalyptic monster would detect me and escape as far as it possibly could 」

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Oh well.

After all, it’s impossible to use [Mystery of All Beings Equal] on it anyways——

The other party was a true Apocalypse, while this Mystery can only be used to transform into living beings.

I only wanted to take a look at how that hand got broken off and get some information from it.

Now that I no longer have the hand, what else can I do?

Gu Qing Shan thought for a few moments.

—–I have literally zero solution!

As soon as I saw the other party— no, even just hearing its sound would mean I’m already dead.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Pardon me for asking, what exactly is the structure of this world system? I need to at least know that much”

The Overlooker of Myriad Realms answered: 「 The ceiling is a barrier, you will immediately reach the surface after going through it, after which you would be able to encounter that monster at any moment 」

「 I can’t remain for too long in this world. After you kill it, I will return 」

The world returned to silence and the bloody mist faded away.

The Overlooker of Myriad Realms had left.

Only Gu Qing Shan remained standing blankly in the middle of the sky.

He looked up at the sky-high ceiling.

—–there is only one barrier above the ceiling that separates this world from the main world that had been destroyed by the Apocalypse.

Thinking back, it was actually very dangerous earlier for me.

If the giant demonic egg had suddenly attacked and sent me away from the ceiling, I would have been discovered by the Apocalyptic monster right away.

I would have immediately died as soon as I saw that monster without knowing anything at all.

But now, the only thing left of the giant demonic egg was a mass of pulp flesh, while I’m alive.

I truly am fortunate.

If I had acted a bit slower or heard anything I shouldn’t have, I would have already been dead.

Gu Qing Shan felt a chill down his spine, then quickly stopped thinking about it.

He began to think about how he should deal with that Apocalyptic monster.

——the other party only needs to growl just a bit for me to die, literally killing me with a single noise.

How am I supposed to fight that?

I can’t even use the split here.

Gu Qing Shan remained silent briefly before he thought of something.

[Ethereal – Null Tribulation]!

[Null Tribulation] was an ability that originated from the Apocalypse, so I would definitely be able to injure it that way.

——-but I can only use fist techniques when I’m directly facing an enemy.

Even if I close my eyes to prevent eye contact, in order to accurately grasp the other party’s movement and position to unleash this punch, I must sense their location.

This situation…

Liao Xiao Pao’s outcome is a prime example.

I can’t use fist techniques.

Furthermore, no magic would be able to injure it.

…Under the circumstances where I have to kill something while not seeing or hearing it, there’s only one solution available to me.

Flying swords.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the void of space.

The Earth sword and Chao Yin sword sensed his thoughts and slowly appeared from the void of space, hovering in front of him.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head slightly.

The method to forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth might have originated from Shroud, but they were forged by the hands of humanity from the Age of Old, so they’re both considered ‘creations of living beings’

Then——-

The Chao Yin sword?

The Chao Yin sword was forged by the supreme-rulers.

Although, I’ve learnt after arriving in the Dusty World that even supreme-rulers are nothing but a type of living being, to be exact, Law-based living beings.

In that case, the Chao Yin sword wouldn’t be able to do it either.

—-creations of living beings cannot harm that monster.

Only one sword remains.

Gu Qing Shan silently said in his mind: “War supreme-ruler UI, let me see the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s basic description again”

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[Six Paths Great Mountain sword]

[Sword of the world’s worship, Divine Artifact of the Huang Quan realm]

[This sword was the manifestation of the Laws of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain belonging to the Huang Quan realm]

[Its power manifests as Invincible, Law Breaker, Living’s Wisdom, and Divine Protector, which are as follow:]

[…]

Gu Qing Shan nodded in understanding.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword——

This sword wasn’t created by living beings, but a manifestation of the Samsara’s Laws!

This sword can injure that Apocalyptic monster!

Gu Qing Shan calmed down.

I have a sword now.

The only issue left to resolve is also the most crucial one.

—–how could I fight against that monster while being unable to see or hear it!

Gu Qing Shan pondered the entire matter from beginning to end several times in his mind.

He turned his gaze towards the distance.

The gates where he entered from were still open.

Gu Qing Shan leapt up and flew through the metal gates again, heading back the way he came.

He flashed several times and quickly arrived at Shannu’s location.

In the narrow passage, the saintly heroic spirit girl was still maintaining her holy technique to preserve Laura and Liao Xiao Pao’s vitality.

Shannu was standing in front of the three of them, silently shielding the trio.

Around them, corpses had practically filled everyone’s vision, extending into the distance.

——all the reanimated statues were already dead.

They died at Shannu’s sword.

“Gongzi, why have you returned?” Shannu looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked in surprise.

“There’s a monster that you and I need to defeat together in order to save Laura and Liao Xiao Pao” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Understood” Shannu happily replied.

Tear hurriedly asked: 『 What about this place? 』

Gu Qing Shan replied: “You can’t move any further than this, that is my battlefield, which will become extremely dangerous later”

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan took out a formation plate and rapidly operated it.

Faint layers of light appeared all around them before fading away.

Dozens of defensive formations had just been arranged!

Gu Qing Shan then took out a door and plopped it on the ground, explaining: “This door will be able to temporarily protect you”

A voice spoke up from the door: 「 Indeed, there would be no issues while I’m here 」

『 Does it have powerful defensive capabilities? 』Tear doubtfully asked.

“You will need a few gems to activate its power” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Gu Qing Shan took off the ‘Bramble Bird Duke Ring’ on his hand and searched for a few moments, after choosing a long and thin length of golden chains from it, he handed the ring to her.

“There are quite a few gems in the ring, that should be enough” Gu Qing Shan said.

『 Does it only need gems? 』Tear was still unconvinced.

Seeing the ring, the door excitedly declared: 「 Don’t worry lassie, as long as there are gems, there would be no problem. No matter how many enemies, no matter what kind of formation they use, it would all be useless 」

Tear then grasped the ring tightly.

Seeing that everything had been properly arranged, Gu Qing Shan put the golden length of chain away and nodded to Tear: “I’ll be going now”

『 Please hurry, I’ve been continuously using this technique, so I won’t be able to hold out for much longer 』Tear told him.

Turning his gaze towards Laura and Liao Xiao Pao, Gu Qing Shan noticed that their vitality fluctuations had been reduced by a considerable amount.

They would be thoroughly petrified very soon!

Gu Qing Shan’s expression became even more solemn.

Shannu glanced at him and softly said: “Gongzi, don’t worry, I will kill the enemy by your side”

She entered the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and silently fell behind his back, disappearing into the void of space.

“…Don’t worry, Tear, I will resolve this matter very soon!”

As soon as he said that, Gu Qing Shan disappeared.

He flew back towards the ruined city, flashing several times in the air and soon arrived at his destination.

Flying through the sky, Gu Qing Shan descended towards the ruins.

While flying, he explained the situation to Shannu.

“Gongzi, how will we be fighting?” Shannu asked.

“With this”

Gu Qing Shan lifted the gold chains in his hand and replied.

“What is this?” Shannu curiously asked.

“A Divine Artifact, part of Laura’s personal collection. It has the characteristics of Absolute Discretion and Infinite Extension” Gu Qing Shan explained.

——-nothing that was part of Laura’s collection could be a mundane item, they’re all true treasures beyond any doubt.

“But this is a creation of living beings. Not only would it not be able to kill that Apocalyptic monster, but I don’t think it would even be able to restrain it” Shannu voiced her concern.

Gu Qing Shan lightly grinned and replied: “Of course, I don’t intend on relying on it to kill the enemy”

“Then——–” Shannu felt confused.

“I don’t hear or see that Apocalyptic monster, otherwise, I will surely die” Gu Qing Shan explained.

At this point, he was already on the ground.

—–standing right next to the giant demonic egg’s dead body.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, he continued: “That Apocalyptic monster had already been trapped for countless years, nobody had learnt of its weakness, but the Overlooker of Myriad Realms had explained a certain thing—— that the monster likes to eat Magisapiens the most”

Shannu said: “But all the Magisapien in this world are already dead, only this final one remains”

“I’ve thought this through several times, and there would only be a single ancient method for me to have a chance to eliminate that monster without having seen or heard it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“What is that?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan turned to the pulpy corpse and slowly uttered the word:

“Fishing”
