Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Divine Skill

As Blade Emperor saw the river get closer and closer, he couldn’t help but shout: “Three-eyed Evil Mother, what is that?”

Three-eyed Evil Mother wasn’t nearly as prideful as before, her eyes were bulging to look at the great river above.

“I’ve never seen it before. This is…”

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, her whole body trembled, her face became frightful as she was speechless.

Wild Beast Saint who got his weapon stolen was angry and shouted full of killing intent: “Who cares what it is! Just focus everything we have to break this spell and go find Xie Dao Ling, that’s the real issue!”

Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint agreed: “That’s right, who cares what kind of spell it is. Everyone! Prepare to attack together at once!”

They all quickly agreed that what he said was correct, gathered their spirit energy and prepared to attack.

Right as they were about to do so, they couldn’t help but stop as faint singing was heard from the sky.

Inside the yellow drifting fog, a female whose face couldn’t be seen was rowing a small boat along the huge river.

As she rowed the boat, she was also singing a strange song.

“Who is that?” Blade Emperor couldn’t help but ask.

“She’s coming towards us. No, that can’t be right, how can a spell contain a person?” Evil Dragonewt frowned for the first time.

Everyone there also felt an aversion to it.

With their combined knowledge and experience, they should have already seen all the spells and techniques in this world, even many Secret Arts are not secret to them.

Yet this scene unfolding right now was something completely foreign to them.

They couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

As the small boat came closer and closer, the female at the back of the boat kept it moving while glancing at the people here.

Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint once again felt horny as his lustful eyes scanned the female from top to bottom.

“This little lady seems to also——”

As soon as he said that much, Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint shut his mouth.

The beautiful female figure on the boat had a skull for a head.

Her eye sockets were completely hollow beside a couple of dimly lit blue flames that were silently looking at them.

Even as Beast Saints, this scene somehow still gave them an overwhelming sense of fear.

To reach this level, staying clean was simply impossible, everyone here has blood on their hands and mountains of bones beneath their feet, so a simple skull wouldn’t even make them blink.

Yet when facing this skull girl, they felt an inexplicable sense of bone-chilling coldness.

This was a never-before-seen spell, a monster that hasn’t appeared before in this world.

Standing before it, a deep sense of despair and powerlessness naturally formed in their minds, gradually but surely grew like wild grass and eventually overwhelmed them.

“Die, demon!”

Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint shouted loudly as he attacked her with a spell.

Before the grand spell could even reach the skull girl, it had already been erased by the flowing river current.

Even among Beast Saints, Evil Dragonewt was strong, each spell or attack he cast could easily level an entire city.

But even one of his attacks at full-power was erased without doing anything.

The Beast Saints looked at each other anxiously.

The skull girl still hasn’t retaliated and only stood there like she was waiting for something.

“Forgetting River… no doubt about it, this is the Forgetting River” Three-eyed Evil Mother face paled.

“What did you say? You must be mistaken, that river is in Hell” Wild Beast Saint eyes became sharp.

Mortal beings live in the Human realm. Since they knew about Shen Wu world, the Beast Saint had known that there are many worlds with many Human Realms that can connect to each other.

But there definitely were no mortal beings in any other realms in the Samsara cycle like the Huang Quan realm or Hungry Ghost realm.

You can only reincarnate into one of the other realms after you die and your soul leaves your body.

This is the very foundation of the 6 Paths of Reincarnation, the law of the world itself, so there would definitely be no exceptions.

Yet Three-eyed Evil Mother said that the large river before their eyes was the legendary Forgetting River.

———the Forgetting River appeared in the Human Realm?

How is this possible?

All the Beast Saints couldn’t believe it.

Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint coldly laughed, rejecting the thought: “I think you’re just being scared to death by Xie Dao Ling”

Three-eyed Evil Mother stared incessantly at the skull girl, trembling as she said: “No, I wouldn’t be wrong”

Evil Dragonewt Beast Saint scoffed, saying: “Bullshit! This Saint has only reached this realm for 1000 years so I might not know as much as you, but I know for sure there’s no spell or technique strong enough to connect two worlds”

Evil Mother suddenly turned her head, looked straight into Evil Dragonewt’s eyes and asked: “What if it isn’t a spell or technique?”

“Evil Dragonewt replied: “Not a spell or technique? That would be ——”

It suddenly froze.

Everyone else there also realized, looking at each other in fright.

A soft female voice could be heard: “A Divine Skill, that’s right, to connect two worlds, it would have to be a Divine Skill, and a peak-level Divine Skill as well”

The one who spoke unveiled herself to reveal a beautiful face.

It was another Beast Saint, Peacock.

Peacock ignored the rest of them, looked in the direction of Bai Hua Palace from afar, bowed and said: “Fairy, we’ve met each other once, can I request you to hear me out?”

“Speak”

Xie Dao Ling sat neatly on her throne, her hands still holding the hand signs as she blinked.

Peacock suddenly started crying and spoke with a sobbing voice: “Evil Dragonewt took my dear daughter to force me to do this, I truly did not want to be a part of this at all”

“Since you’ve used a Divine Skill, then I can only be so brazen and beg of you Fairy, please save my daughter’s life, I swear from now on my life will be yours to decide”

Xie Dao Ling went silent for a bit before smiling: “If sister was truly forced into this, then this Saint won’t punish you”

“Peacock! Seems like you don’t need your daughter’s life!” Evil Dragonewt roared loudly and took out something, wanting to crush it.

“No!” Peacock’s face paled.

“Attack that skull with all you have, or else I’ll kill your daughter immediately!” Evil Dragonewt coldly said.

Peacock looked again at Bai Hua Palace’s direction, hesitated for a bit before she bowed down in the air, begging: “Fairy, I beg you”

A Sainted realm beast stooping so low as to bow down to a human Saint several ten thousand miles away, causing the other Saint Beasts to be shocked.

Xie Dao Ling silently sighed, activated her spirit energy, creating a jade-green light in front of her, then she muttered: “Divine Skill, Forgetting River”

The green light moved with her words and flew straight out of Bai Hua Palace towards the sky.

Frontline.

The green light descended, falling straight into the skull girl’s body.

Suddenly the blue flames inside her eye sockets became intense, asking the void of space: “How many people are going this time?”

Inside Bai Hua Palace, Bai Hua Fairy answered: “Aside from Peacock, take them all to Black Rope Hell ——-I’ll give the Evil Dragonewt’s soul to you to use as a candle wick, let him burn for 30,000 years then take him to Inescapable Hell[1]”

“Thank you, it shall be done”

The skull girl finished speaking, then turned towards the beast saints, bowed and gestured: “Please board the boat”

Immediately, phantoms with the same appearance as the beast Saints flew out from their heads before heading straight towards the small boat on the Forgetting River.

They struggled with fear in their eyes, trying to escape.

But as they have already left their bodies, no spells, techniques, secret arts or powers, nothing they had could be used anymore. They could only scream in vain as they gradually left their bodies and travelled across the Forgetting River to reach the boat.

A few dull sounds were heard as their bodies fell, crashing into the ground to form huge craters.

The skull girl continued to sing her tune of hell, steered the boat deep into the great Forgetting River and gradually disappeared.
