World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 327

Under the cold rain.

In the sky, Gu Qing Shan grabbed the air to take out the Earth Sword.

He observed the Fuxi Emperor standing before him.

A 5th stage Professionist, pressure-wise, was only slightly below that of a Sainted realm cultivator.

But Professionists don't know how to cultivate, they don't use world essence, and their fighting techniques are primitive compared to a cultivator.

Which is why Gu Qing Shan wasn't worried at all facing the Fuxi Emperor.

“It's time for your life to end” the Fuxi Emperor declared.

He clasped his hands together, gathering tons of mud and dirt from the mountain under his feet into spheres of compressed rock in the air.

More and spheres of rock were forming, almost completely blocked out the sky behind the Emperor.

A faint dark yellow glow blinked occasionally on the spheres, which were the physical manifestation of the Earth element.

“Your Majesty, I think you should rethink it a bit, after all life and death isn't such an insignificant thing” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Fuxi Emperor only smirked mockingly.

He pointed a finger straight at Gu Qing Shan.

Dozens of spheres flew.

Followed by dozens more.

The spheres of rock started flying at Gu Qing Shan in large groups.

5-Elemental Earth, [Star Strike]!

Gu Qing Shan held the Earth Sword, pointing the tip downwards.

He didn't move except to form a hand seal in his other hand.

A streak of light descended from the sky.

Like an overwhelming water current, it dashed through the cold rain, slashing open a glint in the air.

Ooong!

The sound of the sword rang out as it met with the spheres of rock.

As soon as the streak of light crushed the first sphere, it exploded outward from inside the ‘asteroid' field.

Dark phantom blades bloomed like a flower in the night sky.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

As the shadow is drawn, the asteroid field was destroyed!

All the flying spheres of rock crumbled back to dust and dirt, quickly washed away by the cold falling rain and fell back down.

Seeing that, the Fuxi Emperor's expression changed.

Each of those spheres could cause a small earthquake if they smash the ground.
Yet Gu Qing Shan was easily able to dispatch them without even moving.

“What technique is that?” the Fuxi Emperor couldn't help but ask.

“Flying swords” Gu Qing Shan curtly answered.

As if answering his call, the Chao Yin Sword appeared from the void of space and let out a ‘wu wu' sound.

The very next second, it disappeared amidst the storm, circling around the Fuxi Emperor.

It was looking for a chance.

After countless years, the ancient sword was finally able to bear its blade once more in battle.

The Fuxi Emperor roared angrily as he punched the air.

Space itself was broken by this punch as the black crack in space fell apart and started to expand.

Similar to black ink on clear water, the chaotic crack in space started to spread and moved towards Gu Qing Shan.

This is broken space, being sucked in would either break you apart, or transport you to spaces unknown.

But the Fuxi Emperor didn't bother to look at the effect of this attack, instead turning around as he crossed both arms above his head.

A dark glow began to emit from his arms.

As soon as the Fuxi Emperor had just put up his guard, the Chao Yin Sword struck down on him.

In just the blink of an eye, the Chao Yin Sword had already slashed him dozens of times.

Wind Slash Style.

“Argggh, get away from me!”

The Fuxi Emperor broke out into an angry roar.

Bang!

The Chao Yin Sword was knocked back.

The Fuxi Emperor's arms were shaking as he took a step back.

At this moment.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared and followed up with a slash of his own.

Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]

The Fuxi Emperor was barely able to dodge it.

Keeping up the tempo, Gu Qing Shan pursued with a Kai Shan Style downward strike.

The Fuxi Emperor wasn't able to dodge anymore so he had to put up his guard again with both arms.

Boom!

Like a cannonball, he was sent flying and buried deep into the foot of the mountain he made.

Gu Qing Shan also didn't expect that.

He glanced at the Earth Sword.

The Earth Sword's voice echoed: 「 He dared to control Earth in front of me, so I showed him who's boss 」

Two figures came flying from afar.

“Your Majesty!”

General Song and General Li called out.

From the crater, the Emperor stood up and spat out some blood.

“Gather the men, kill him with all we've got!” he ordered.

“Roger!”

The two Generals moved.

They rushed to the sky, attacking Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth Sword and fly down to receive them.

The three were about to clash.

“I'm up first!” Li Dong Yuan said.

His body began to be covered in a thick layer of water, forming a giant.

Song Tian Wu took a step back and shot a signal to the sky.

Very quickly, numerous black dots began to flew here from afar.

Gu Qing Shan's eyes twitched as he saw that.

They were all Professionists in military uniform, gathering here from afar.

Being able to fly shows that they were 5th stage Professionists.

Since when did the Confederate military have so many 5th stage Professionists?

He released his inner sight and scanned all the Professionists heading here.

“So that's what it was”

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Li Dong Yuan, then at Song Tian Wu.

All the Professionists only looked different, their physique was the exact same as the 2 Generals.

They were all clones.

5th stage Professionist clones.

There were a total of 60 5th stage Professionists here.

 This is a force strong enough to be undefeated anywhere in the world.

The Fuxi Emperor crossed his arms behind his back, flew up and stood across from Gu Qing Shan.

He flashed a rare smile and spoke: “This game is over, no matter how much you try, the human realm will still become hell on earth, this will not change”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him as if it was the first time he saw this person.

“Your Majesty” he spoke in a low voice, “I've always thought that you wanted to conquer this world, not destroy it”

The Fuxi Emperor went silent, they answered: “When my Ancestor descended, I knew this was an unwinnable calamity”

He was narrating to Gu Qing Shan, at the same time speaking to himself: “If there is no way to resist, then why not help my Ancestor, expand on the edge that I already have?”
“When the rest of the powerhouses awaken, we will have already conquered the entire world”

He clenched his fist tight: “This is for the continuation of the Empire, all that's changed is the form, I'm perfectly aware --------“

Gu Qing Shan suddenly cut him off: “If one day, another stronger force was to conquer the Frozen Hell, will you also defect to it as well?”

“…You're looking at this from the wrong perspective” he Emperor shook his head.

“I'm looking at it wrong?”

“If you take a look from the perspective of eras, you will see that the change of dynasty is an irrefutable rule of history -------no matter how much you love an era, you will eventually have to see it die out in the flow of history”
The Emperor appeared feverish: “But hell is different, my ancestor has upheld his rule in the Frozen Hell for over 2000 years, his dynasty has continued all this time!”

“That isn't so, Your Majesty”
Gu Qing Shan sincerely spoke: “Try and imagine, a few years later, when the entire world has already been destroyed, humans are reduced to screaming masses in hell, your wife and children are nowhere to be seen, your citizens no longer look up to their own country, and no one to worship and admire you, no one to share emotions with you. There will be no more cheers, no praises, no gratitude”
 “You will sit alone on the throne of the Frozen Hell, with nothing but the chill, as well as the dead revenants that temporarily serve you because of your strength -------such a life will continue for eternity”
“Your Majesty, trust me when I say that you will not like such an era”

The Emperor was expressionless and said nothing in response.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Now, let us assume all of this has already happened, 10 years have passed, the planet was already destroyed. Then you suddenly got a chance to relive your own life, you've returned from your frozen throne to 10 years ago today, your wife and children are still alive and well, your subjects hold nothing but gratitude towards you, humanity as a whole is uniting in order to stop the invasion from hell, putting up a brave resistance for the sake of their own life. And Your Majesty, you're standing right before me, having the right to decide the fate of the world in your hands, what will you choose this time around?
“Your Majesty, please make your choice again”

Aside from the sound of rain, the world was silent.

The Emperor opened his mouth a few times, then finally answered: “You've forgotten one thing”

“Then enlighten me”

“Hell is unbeatable; humanity will only fail when faced with the dead”

“Your Majesty, it seems like you're not an appropriate monarch after all”

“Why do you say that?”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “At the moment of a nation's end, the Emperor should at least be the last person to surrender. Yet you've already surpassed the borders of your own nation and became the very first traitor of humanity as a whole”

He tapped his Inventory Bag as the You Ji General armor set appeared from inside, quickly separating into pieces.

Each piece of the armor seemed to be sentient, circling around and donned themselves onto Gu Qing Shan's body.

In just a moment, he had finished wearing the armor.
