World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 333

Following the six guardian gods' shout, a loud agonized cry escaped from the icy sword.

In just a moment, the multitudes of moans and screams were made to stop.

When the six guardian gods disappeared, the icy sword wasn't able to let out a single sound.

The black cloaked skeleton face changed as he spoke gloomily: 「 You dare to hurt my sword. It seems this will take a while, but no matter, your soul will be enough compensation 」

He clasped his hands together.

Following the black cloaked skeleton's gesture, all sounds in the world suddenly disappeared.

The rain clouds over the capital sky temporarily dissipated.

 Instead it was replaced by a thick cloud of grey fog.

Gu Qing Shan scowled.

It must be quite an extraordinary thing to be able to alter reality and create such a phenomenon.

He didn't quite expect the opponent to have such an ability.

I need to be more cautious.

The black cloaked skeleton then slowly pulled his hands apart.

A single drop of water silently floated between his hands.

A deep yellow color mixed with a thin veil of mist, making anyone who sees it feel a sense of inexplicable fear.

The black cloaked skeleton carefully lifted this drop of water.

「 A thousand years, for me to obtain this 」

The black cloaked skeleton couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, his tone became more prideful than ever before.

「 The entire 9 hells of Huang Quan, and not a single dead person could do as I and collect a single drop of Forgetting River water 」

When the black cloaked skeleton said so, the endless icy mist behind him suddenly formed itself into a large river.

Using the power of Elemental Water, it had manifested a giant river that stretches across the sky.

The black cloaked skeleton then placed the drop of Forgetting River water into the giant river behind him.

The entire river instantly became a glistening yellow.

------it looked a lot like the Forgetting River, but was infinitely weaker.

In that moment, the two swords by Gu Qing Shan moved at the same time.

The Chao Yin Sword seems to be sensing something.

The Earth Sword spoke: 「 Be very careful! Any being that touches Forgetting River water will lose all of their memories, this is a law of the Six Paths! 」

Losing memories means becoming an idiot that can't even resist.

The black cloaked skeleton can then easily take his life.

Gu Qing Shan felt the pressure and replied: “Understood”

The black cloaked skeleton twitched his finger.

The giant yellow river then surrounded him.

Having a defense made from Forgetting River water, the black cloaked skeleton was now practically invincible.

The black cloaked skeleton then spoke with a frenzied and excited voice: “This is the ultimate weapon that I prepared for the human realm, you can now die”

He swung his hand up.

The yellow river rushed with intense momentum towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan flew backwards.

The black cloaked skeleton laughed: 「It's useless to run, useless! This river's speed is not any slower than your flying swords! 」

Gu Qing Shan backed off even faster.

Suddenly, the Chao Yin Sword let out a hurried ‘wu wu' sound.

“Hold you tight? What do you want to do?”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Back in Shen Wu world, he managed to get a certain Thaumaturgy called [Connected Minds]

[Connected minds: You naturally understand weapon spirits' thoughts]

Up until now, no matter what the Chao Yin Sword wanted to say, Gu Qing Shan would always understand.

------except regarding the Chao Yin Sword's Thaumaturgy [Even a sea of pain will cross]

Gu Qing Shan couldn't understand what the Chao Yin Sword meant to say regarding this Thaumaturgy at all.

But now, since the Chao Yin Sword insisted that he hold it, Gu Qing Shan grabbed its hilt tightly.

At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI.

[The Chao Yin Sword is requesting to use 100 Soul Points]
[Do you allow it to use your Soul Points?]

This was just like before.

When the Fuxi Emperor crushed the ice jewel, a torrent of water came from the sky.

The Chao Yin Sword used Gu Qing Shan's Soul Points to directly help him get away from the torrent's assault.

The Chao Yin Sword used 10 Soul Points that time.

But now, it's asking for a whopping 100 Soul Points!

But Gu Qing Shan didn't even hesitate and instantly: “Allow it!”

A new notification popped up.

[The Chao Yin Sword has received 100 Soul Points]

An invisible wind current came from Gu Qing Shan and flowed into the Chao Yin Sword.

The Chao Yin Sword's tip seems to be shaking a bit.

As if it were preparing for something.

The giant yellow river was quickly catching up to Gu Qing Shan as he backed off.

The river was right in his face.

The intense wind even made Gu Qing Shan a bit unable to control his flight.

Gu Qing Shan was being forced to retreat nonstop.

The black cloaked skeleton just stood there, arms crossed, cracking his neck.

From the looks of it, he was thoroughly enjoying this scene.

Suddenly, the black cloaked skeleton raised his hands up.

The entire river rose up like a giant wave that eclipsed the sky.

“Die!” the black cloaked skeleton roared.

The wave crashed down.

The Chao Yin Sword suddenly let out a booming ring at the wave.

Gu Qing Shan immediately understood what it wanted.

He gritted his teeth and raised the Chao Yin Sword to stab at the wave.

If this truly doesn't work, I can always escape at the very last moment.
The most important thing now is to trust in my sword!

Just as this thought flashed by Gu Qing Shan's mind, the wave had blocked out the entire sky above, crashing down.

Boom!

The wave first touched the Chao Yin Sword's tip.

After that, Gu Qing Shan ---------

No, there was no “after that”.

In a single moment, the crashing wave of water flowed directly into the Chao Yin Sword's tip and disappeared without a trace.

A river so big it managed to eclipse the sky was sucked dry by the Chao Yin Sword in a single moment.

All the phenomena in the sky disappeared with it.

The cold, dark rain resumed where they stood.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked, still maintaining his stabbing motion.

“…” black cloaked skeleton

“…” Gu Qing Shan

The Chao Yin Sword jumped in Gu Qing Shan's hand.

Then it jumped again.

After that, it started to dance rhythmically.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit nervous and asked it in a low voice: “How is it?”

The Chao Yin Sword kept dancing as it replied with a ‘wu wu' sound.

Treasure! Treasure! Treasure! Treasure!
This is a treasure!

Is what it said.

Gu Qing Shan can feel the Chao Yin Sword's overwhelming joy.

That is to say… it just sucked an entire river away?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought about it.

There was one drop of Forgetting River water in that water just now.
Forgetting River water contains the power of Law, so of course it's a treasure.
Seeing how precious that black cloaked skeleton treated it, Forgetting River water must be really hard to get.
And the Chao Yin Sword just stole it.
That's a bit…

The black cloaked skeleton finally recovered from the shock and shouted: 「 Give me back my Forgetting River water! 」

Gu Qing Shan puffed out his chest and very confidently declared: “Where is this Forgetting River water you're talking about; how come I don't see it?”

「 That is a treasure I spent over a thousand years to get 」 the black cloaked skeleton grinded its teeth: 「 You fucking bastard, I swear I will make sure you don't have a body to be buried after death! 」

He tapped the icy sword and shouted: “Skeletal Grudge”

Icy white mist drifted from the sword.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Two rows of 10 armored and crowned skeletons appeared from the mist.

Black miasma formed all sorts of demonic shapes as it drifted around the skeletons, screaming and crying.

The black cloaked skeleton laughed gloomily: 「 These aren't just useless clones that only have looks about them, they are the real Fuxi Emperors of each generation, forged from the fire and blood of battle 」

His voice started to become domineering: 「 If you're smart, you WILL return the Forgetting River water to me, that way, I can at least guarantee your corpse is in one piece 」

This was the black cloaked skeleton's final trump card, he had depended on these monsters to maintain his control in the Frozen Hell.

「 Go, kill him, then kill the entire city, I want all of the living souls! 」the black cloaked skeleton shouted.

『 So…uls… 』the group of Skeletal Grudge screamed in a hoarse, unison voice.

Gu Qing Shan stared at the 20 Skeletal Grudges.

Each of these grudgeful monsters held a different weapon.

And they all definitely have powerful abilities.

Behind these Skeletal Grudges, the black cloaked skeleton held his sword, waiting for a chance.

They really wanted to start by killing him here before moving on to killing the entire capital city.

The 20 Skeletal Grudges roared again.

One of them suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan!

It swung a large battle axe down at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin Sword and met it head on, his attack connected first.

The sword sliced through the Skeletal Grudge's neck.

A black smoke was taken by the tip of the sword, drifting from the cut at the Skeletal Grudge's neck.

But the head stayed on its neck without moving away.

It roared, then rushed at Gu Qing Shan once more.

When Gu Qing Shan used his inner sight to check the surroundings, he found all 20 Skeletal Grudges coming for him.

He quickly flew backwards.

「 The Skeletal Grudge already belongs to the category of demonic gods, a mortal would have no way to defeat them 」 the black cloaked skeleton gritted his teeth while talking: 「 I will have them rend your flesh bit by bit and slowly dig out wherever you took my Forgetting River water 」

While retreating, Gu Qing Shan thought about how to deal with them.

What the black cloaked skeleton said is also a clue.

Mortals cannot win against demonic gods?
If he's not able to hurt the enemy no matter what attack he uses, that truly is a bit hard to deal with.

While he was thinking, a notification popped up on the War God UI.

[The Earth Sword is requesting to use your Soul Points]
[If you agree, the Earth Sword will start consuming your Soul Points at a rate of 10 Soul Points per second]
[Because you are a person who the Earth Sword recognizes, during the process of using your Soul Points, it will make sure not to drain everything to guarantee the safety of your own life]
[Do you agree?]

Gu Qing Shan glanced over it and muttered: “How come you're also like this?” 

The Earth Sword's heavy voice came: 「 These things can truly be considered the lowest type of demonic gods, so it's better for you to give me Soul Points and let me contact them 」

“You want to contact them?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Earth Sword replied: 「 Correct, it's one thing if they're just normal dead people, but once they are demonic gods, they're squarely countered by me 」

For some reason, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the System's description of the Earth Sword.

[The Earth Sword, weighs 86,370,000 tons. Spirit Thaumaturgy: I am heavy]
[This sword is the ceremonial sword from the Age of Old, capable of contacting Divinity]

-------it had also “contacted” a minion of Huang Quan.

The 20 Skeletal Grudges came rushing.

Gu Qing Shan kept retreating.

The black cloaked skeleton laughed loudly: 「 I spent countless years and untold efforts to turn them into these Skeletal Grudges that are comparable to demonic gods, they are the reason I can call myself Emperor! 」

Gu Qing Shan ignored him and checked his battle records and Soul Points.

[Current Soul Points: 4891.6/300]

The Chao Yin Sword used a total of 110 just now.

After killing so many clones, all I got was 1.6 Soul Points…
Now isn't the time to think about that, Gu Qing Shan replied straight away: “I agree to pay the Soul Points”

A counter appeared on the War God UI.

His Soul Points began to shrink at a rate of 10 Soul Points per second.

「 With your Soul Points, I can finally show off my power! 」the Earth Sword excitedly said.

“What should I do?” Gu Qing Shan asked loudly.

「 Just do as you normally do 」 the Earth Sword answered.

Gu Qing Shan stopped in midair and turned around to attack.

Seeing that, the black cloaked skeleton laughed: 「 A mortal can't possibly do anything to a demonic god's body 」

The Skeletal Grudges raised their weapons to receive him.

Gu Qing Shan turned into a giant white crescent moon, slashing at the group of Skeletal Grudges.

The crescent moon crossed blades with the Skeletal Grudge's weapons.

The white crescent quickly flew through them and far away.

The Skeletal Grudges that were supposed to receive the attack wasn't able to stop the attack at all, as if they weren't there in the first place.

Suddenly, all the Skeletal Grudges screamed in fear.

They stood still in the air as a grey mist started to escape from their body, drifting down towards the ground.

The white crescent moon quickly disappeared as Gu Qing Shan and the Earth Sword appeared again.

The wind blew.

The 20 Skeletal Grudges wearing crowns turned to dust, scattering in the wind.

All that's left are countless flickering lights silently flashing at the Earth Sword's shaft.

Half of the lights were quickly absorbed into the Earth Sword; the other half went into Gu Qing Shan's forehead.

The Earth Sword let out a satisfied ring.

「 They've been contacted  」it spoke with its regular heavy voice.

“How impressive…” Gu Qing Shan commented.

「 They're barely the lowest type of demonic gods, of course they couldn't possibly stop our combined strength 」

On the War God UI, the counter for Soul Points consumption has stopped.

The entire battle took a total of 5 seconds, which means 50 Soul Points were spent.

A few notifications popped up.

[You and the Earth Sword have split the spoils of battle]
[You received 100 Soul Points]
[Current Soul Points: 4941.6/300]

That's quite the profit.

But the Skeletal Grudges are demonic gods, why did you give so little Soul Points?

Perhaps guessing what Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the War God UI explained: [Although these monsters have the most basic characteristics, they couldn't even be considered equals to the weakest type of demonic gods]

Silence filled the air.

Noticing that, Gu Qing Shan looked up at the black cloaked skeleton.

The black cloaked skeleton stood still in midair in absolute shock.

He didn't move at all.

The skeleton raised his finger, trembling while pointing at Gu Qing Shan: 「 My Skeletal Grudge… give them back… 」

Gu Qing Shan very sincerely answered: “How unfortunate, I haven't seen any Skeletal Grudges anywhere”

The black cloaked skeleton entire body shook.

He stood trembling, completely disregarding the cold rain splashing on his skull and soaking his body wet.
