Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Giant Demon Lord

The Demon Lord sat leaning on the wall of the tunnel, its gigantic body almost blocking the entire path to Huang Quan.

With its eyes closed, it seemed to be asleep.

Gu Qing Shan ——–no, a Sharp-boned Demon was weaving through the mass of demons, moving towards the Demon Lord at a regular rate that was not too slow or too fast.

Next to the Demon Lord’s body, there was a tiny space that left just enough space for an average-sized demon to pass through.

The Sharp-boned Demon stood within the horde, silently staring at the Demon Lord.

As it kept staring, a notification popped up on the War supreme-ruler UI.

[A weaponized demonic supreme-ruler is a special type of creature, if the user wants to know the details regarding this Demon Lord, an extra 500 Soul Points must be paid]

“No need, I know what this thing is” Gu Qing Shan silently told himself.

His thoughts were a bit complicated right now.

The creatures called weaponized demonic lord aren’t actually demons.

They are powerful creatures that died for various reasons within the flow of time.

Some of these corpses came from various strange and unknown worlds, where the creatures used to reign as the absolute ruler of their world.

When those worlds are completely invaded by demons, as they were once the strongest enemies, these creatures’ corpses will be put to use.

Their bodies are excavated, salvaged, then remodeled using special methods by the demons, going through countless years of crafting before finally able to become an ultimate weapon.

This giant was also the same.

It might have been the lord of some world that died during an intense war, as only its upper body was still intact.

If you look carefully, you’ll see that obviously only two of those arms on its body belonged to the giant.

The rest of the arms were patched on afterwards.

Some sort of miraculous method maintained the original power of these terrifying arms.

This was also a Remodelled Demon Lord made for the sake of destroying cities and attacking fortresses.

And this isn’t even the end of it.

Above the Remodelled type, there is also a Chaotic type Demon Lord.

Such creatures are completely outside of human understanding.

No one really knows what they are.

They have unpredictable strange powers that can devour you whole, kill you, enslave you, or even erase you without you ever noticing.

But even that isn’t the strongest.

True Demon Lord, a name that brings desperation.

They are demons created using the corpses of Divinity.

This type of weaponized demonic supreme-ruler not only had preserved the Divinity’s powers when they were still alive, it also had destructive demon powers as well as an immense presence.

Those True Demon Lords forged from the corpses of Divinities were the real weapons used by the demons to take over worlds.

There was once an unconfirmed military report stored in the records of the past life.

The group of elite military that provided this report was completely wiped out, before they were all killed, they had sent back this report that can neither be confirmed nor denied.

There were only two sentences in the report.

The first was, ‘Humanity’s extinction is inevitable’.

The second was, ‘There exist creatures even more terrifying than a True Demon Lord’.

At the time they received this report, the war between humans and demons had reached a critical point, so as to not waver the troop’s morale, all commanders of humanity including Gu Qing Shan had unanimously decided to make this report top secret.

…

While Gu Qing Shan was reminiscing about his old memories, he decided to just stand still within the horde of demons.

What exactly happened in Huang Quan that the demons had to specifically send such a powerful Remodeled Demon Lord to guard and block the path here?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, gazing at the giant Demon Lord’s body.

Everything he has are conjectures so no conclusions can be drawn.

The truth lies behind that Demon Lord.

Only going into Huang Quan will he know the whole truth.

Gu Qing Shan moved forward.

He was prepared to go to the end.

His sharp claws pierced into the gaps in the rock, step by step making his way forward.

Gu Qing Shan was moving at an average rate.

Not too slow, not too fast, no sounds, and no sudden movements.

He retracted his inner sight completely, looked down and carefully maintains his state of movement, making sure not to appear out of the ordinary.

Closer.

Closer.

He was now in front of the Demon Lord.

It was still asleep.

But the destructive presence that the Demon Lord emitted made Gu Qing Shan tremble uncontrollably.

The difference between the two of them was so great that Gu Qing Shan was being suppressed by the Demon Lord’s presence alone.

He could only grit his teeth and forced himself to keep moving forward.

Using the sharp claws to balance himself, he moved past the Demon Lord step by step.

The only path deeper into the tunnel is through that small gap.

The dark tunnel was completely silent.

Most of the demons were currently either sleeping or resting.

The only demon calmly moving forward was a slender and long Sharp-boned Demon.

A few moments later.

Gu Qing Shan was now directly next to the Demon Lord.

As long as he keeps up this speed, he’ll pass through the Demon Lord’s body blocking the way.

Gu Qing Shan patiently moved his claws forward bit by bit, moving forward in the cave.

Without any warning, the sleeping Demon Lord lifted an arm up and grabbed at the group of demons below.

It was grabbing exactly where Gu Qing Shan was.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t know why this happened.

But he was sure that the Demon Lord definitely did not notice him.

This sleeping Demon Lord might have sensed something vague from an unknown place.

This arm was probably moved completely from reflex!

The Demon Lord’s action was too fast for any demons to react to.

A large group of demons was fished upwards.

Gu Qing Shan was also caught in there.

Together with a few hundred different demons, he was being squeezed inside the Demon Lord’s giant hand.

The demons seemed to know what was about to happen, since they were screaming and howling with fear.

Hear these sounds, the Demon Lord still didn’t open its eyes.

It opened its mouth and put the handful of demons into its mouth.

Gu Qing Shan desperately tried to push the other demons away, looking down from the grasp of the giant hand.

Below, the other demons have already had time to react, they were scrambling to run away.

Gu Qing Shan noticed a one-eyed demon serpent.

The serpent was slithering away as fast as possible.

Right now, it was already next to the Demon Lord, about to pass him and go deeper into the dark tunnel.

I choose you!

Gu Qing Shan activated [Shadow Shift] without any hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the one-eyed demon serpent was now inside the Demon Lord’s hand.

Gu Qing Shan has escaped, standing next to the Demon Lord.

But now, the intense sense of dread still hasn’t gone away.

He even felt cold sweat running down his spine.

[Shadow Shift] worked as it should have.

But a Sharp-boned Demon grabbed by the hand was now replaced with a one-eyed demon serpent.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t confirm whether or not the Demon Lord’s hand would be able to notice such a minute change inside its palm.

He didn’t have the gall nor the time to be waiting for a lucky result.

His Ascended realm late stage inner sight was released, stretching far deep into the dark tunnel behind.

Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight was extremely noticeable within this part of the dark tunnel.

Ignoring whether or not this was reckless, he disappeared in place.

[Ground Shrink]!

[Divine Skill, Ground Shrink (advanced): Choose any point within the range of your inner sight, or lock onto the enemy’s presence, using a special speed technique to bypass the limits of space to appear directly at the chosen location]

Thousands of miles passed within a split second.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared again.

As a Sharp-boned Demon, his entire body was shaking.

The sense of dread he felt didn’t decrease at all, instead it started erupting like fuel added to fire.
