World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 394

The weapons all fell silent.

“What does that mean?” the small white bird silently asked the Earth sword.

「 I don't know either  」 Earth sword answered.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook sincerely asked: “We're only weapons in the end, sometimes I still don't really understand the nuances in human speech, please explain clearly”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “Everything that's happened is because of the demons, so what we should do now is to think of how to eliminate the demons”

The small white bird asked: “Eliminate the demons? But then what about the Devil King of the 18 layers of hell?”

“We have to take things one step at a time, let's ignore the Devil King first”

“There are demons and Soul Devouring Arachna crawling all over Huang Quan, how confident are you about this?”

Gu Qing Shan answered: “I'm not confident at all, but sometimes, we just have to act first before saying anything”

“Then tell me, what should we do?”

“I'll probably need the help of the weapon manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain ------can it endure the 7-colored spear's attacks?”

“It can, but it's currently heavily damage, so I'm not sure it can keep enduring”

“I won't need it to do too much, the key point here is that we have to find it”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke: “That's easy, we 66 ancient weapons are the full manifestation of Huang Quan's law, as long as 7-8 weapons try to sense it together, we'll be able to find where it is”

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “Then we'll need to make a trip back to the Divine Armament shrine of worship”
…
The Soul Devouring Arachna is leaning on the roof of the shrine of worship.

Since it's already been discovered, it's too lazy to hide again.

The Soul Devouring Arachna fully manifests itself, staring at the Forgetting River.

I was toyed with just now.
As a Soul Devouring Arachna, this is incredibly humiliating.
If that humans dares to appear again -------

While thinking that, it suddenly sensed something.

Turning its body, the Arachna stared at a certain part inside the Forgetting River.

Roar!

The Arachna roared furiously.

That human actually dared to show up again!

Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the Forgetting River, where the tides are avoiding him.

He looked straight at the Soul Devouring Arachna, and it looked straight at him.

The distance between them was just enough that the two parties could barely see each other.

Only at such a distance could Gu Qing Shan actually feel safe.

A sword appeared next to Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth sword.

Gu Qing Shan sent his voice: “A bit of force”

「 Understood  」 the Earth sword answered.

A flash in the sky.

The Earth sword flew straight at the Soul Devouring Arachna's chest, aiming for its heart.

Clang!

The Arachna reached out its bare hand and struck the flying Earth sword away.

The Earth sword once again flew back down, aiming at the Arachna.

The Soul Devouring Arachna wave its hand again.

Clang!

The Earth sword was knocked away again.

Checking himself, the Arachna found these attacks couldn't even leave a scratch on his exoskeleton.

“Human, you're too weak, this isn't even tickling me!” the Soul Devouring Arachna mocked him.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing.

The Earth sword came again.

The Arachna blocked again.

The Earth sword was knocked away, but quickly came back.

This time, the Arachna was feeling impatient.

“Foolish, what good does this attack that doesn't even tickle me going to do!?” he shouted.

But Gu Qing Shan ignored whatever the Soul Devouring Arachna was thinking and only controlled the Earth sword strike at it again and again.

After blocking a few hundred times, the Arachna stopped.

Because the Earth sword really couldn't even leave a mark on his body.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan changed his War God title to [You Ji General]

His attack speed increased by 15%!

1 strike,
2 strikes,
3 strikes,
…
7 strikes.

Gu Qing Shan's body sunk into the water, shouting: “Full power!”

The Earth sword let out an intense vibration.

Secret Art, [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon]!

A gigantic lightning dragon unlike ever before appeared.

This was the first time Gu Qing Shan had used this Secret Art since he reached Ascended realm.

The lightning dragon chomped on the Arachna, forcing it away from the top of the shrine.

The lightning power made the Soul Devouring Arachna incredibly irritated.

“Screw you!” the Arachna roared in anger.

Grabbing the dragon's horns, it used force to pull it apart.

The lightning dragon was easily ripped into sparks of lightning that quickly dispersed in the air.

The Arachna fell down.

It found itself standing next to the Forgetting River.

For a very brief moment, the Arachna noticed inner sight enveloping itself.

-------he dared to release his inner sight in front of me!

Unbelievably glad, it wanted to use its ability to entangle its inner sight with the opponent.

But it was too late.

Baiting it for so long, even using [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon] as a distraction, Gu Qing Shan was waiting for this exactly split second.

Everything changed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared where the Arachna was.

The Arachna appeared inside the Forgetting River.

Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!

Everything Gu Qing Shan did before was to avoid the creature's inner sight, giving himself a chance to envelop the opponent with his own inner sight and use [Shadow Shift].

The Soul Devouring Arachna struggled and writhed in the Forgetting River water.

“No! What happened!”
It screamed in fear: “I -------”

Its voice stopped.

The Arachna sunk to the bottom.

About 2 breaths later, its corpse floated up.

The Soul Devouring Arachna's corpse was quickly washed away by the current of the Forgetting River.

No one knows where exactly this body will end up.

But one thing is for sure.

Its soul is no longer in this world.

Gu Qing Shan stood at the bank of the river and softly laughed.

Unfortunately -------

A line of glowing text scrolled past the War God UI.

[Because the Soul Devouring Arachna was actually killed by the Forgetting River, the user will not gain any Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan sighed regretfully.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook hovered next to him, praising: “Nicely done”

The small white bird also flew up, circling close to Gu Qing Shan.

They entered the shrine of worship and started to wake up the rest of the weapons that are there.

Actually, since the crisis has come, many of these weapons have already awoken.

The 36 weapons that tried to seal the 7-colored spear was also the same.

Walking in front of the weapons, Gu Qing Shan used their incantations to wake up each of the weapons.

As the weapons wake up, they greeted Gu Qing Shan one by one.

“This humble one is Gu Qing Shan” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and introduced himself.

“I am Soul Slicing Blade”
“I am Spirit Breaker Bow”
“This one is Soul Searing Flame Spear”
“Hundred-imp Life Locket is here”
…
The weapons introduced themselves.

With the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook's support, Gu Qing Shan quickly got to know the weapons.

Gu Qing Shan counted a total of 11 weapons.

Enough!
Now we can look for the weapon manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain!
It's the only weapon that can stop the 7-colored spear.
I can only hope it isn't too badly damaged.
Because it will play the most important role in the plan!

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a light appeared in the sky.

A faint silhouette of the 36 weapons have finally formed the Great Sealing Formation.

The Great Formation slowly descended to the ground.

Seemingly feeling this change, the 7-colored spear abruptly released a streak of light.

The light flew straight up to the sky, crashing into the faint silhouette.

The light slowly lost its speed.

But the Great Sealing Formation was also shaking intensely.

At first, both sides were locked in a stalemate.

On another side.

A few Soul Devouring Arachnas are leading large hordes of demons through the mountainous areas, heading towards the shrine of worship.

Because a special Arachna had been killed!

Even for the demons, this is a big issue enough for them to be concerned.

“Quickly, use the same method you did to deal with them” the small white bird spoke excitedly.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “There's no time to waste here, we have to go do what we have to do”
“Come, I'll bring you all into the Forgetting River!”
…
In the Forgetting River.

The weapons were sensing the location while guiding Gu Qing Shan forward.

About 1 hour later.

At the bottom of the Forgetting River.

There was nothing but greyish white rocks here.

This place was quite far from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and closer to the dark tunnel.

Suddenly, all the weapons stopped.

“The Six Paths Great Mountain Sword should be here” the small white bird commented.

Sword?

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan instinctively reacted.

The weapons tried looking around.

There was nothing in the muddy river water.

“Could it be below ground?” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook asked.

The weapons tried, but couldn't do anything to the rock.

“The bottom of the Forgetting River is also part of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, no one can break it” a great sword commented.

“How about we take a look around here?” Gu Qing Shan suggested.

And so the weapons went searching together with Gu Qing Shan for another hour.

“It's no good, we still can't find it, that's so strange” a shield commented.

“Perhaps it is unconscious, that's why it couldn't show up to meet us” the small white bird said.

If the sword is in an unconscious state, then no matter how much they search, it won't actively appear.

“Then we can't do anything about it” a bow spoke regretfully.

“We have to find it, it's the manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain's law, only it can stop the 7-colored spear to aid in our plan” Gu Qing Shan insisted.

“That's true, last time it tried to fight against the 7-colored spear, it managed to hold it off for a while before being knocked away” a long-handled staff commented.
“It was already heavily damaged at the time” the shield added.
“It's very strong” the great sword praised.
“Even I don't dare to block to that spear” a spear muttered.
“It's very impressive!”
“That's right, it was the only Divine Armament out of three that dared to go against the 7-colored spear directly”

The weapons all sing high praises.

“Please try one more time, it's very crucial to our plan, it's the deciding factor whether or not we succeed” Gu Qing Shan sincerely begged them.

“On the grounds that you managed to kill a Soul Devouring Arachna, we'll try one more time” the long-handled staff spoke.

The weapons nodded.

Very quickly, all the weapons started to glow in a faint light.

This light connected to one another, flickering in a strange rhythm.

After a bit, the light slowly dispersed.

“It really is around here, but it won't answer our call” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke.

“Seems like there's no way after all” the shield sighed.
“It's probably damaged too badly to even answer our call” the spear commented.
“What now, if it can't even show itself, I'm really worried about its situation” the small white bird spoke.

The weapons all spoke regretfully.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and could only stay silent.

So we can't find it?

Without the weapon, his plan cannot be executed.

Does it all end here?

In the past life, having been through countless disasters and struggles, he was the last human to live until the very end.

He was the war commander, a sword saint.

After his return, no matter the trouble, even when 4 hells descended on the human realm at the same time, he still didn't give up on finding a solution.

But after he went to Huang Quan, he found that the 18 layers of hell are about to welcome a new Devil King.

And the Devil King will bring hell with him to destroy the human realm.

The demons have taken over Huang Quan.

Even Divinities weren't able to resist against the 7-colored spear and died off one by one.

Gu Qing Shan is only an Ascended realm cultivator, and at this point, he's already at the end of his rope.

He was finally feeling a sense of despair.

At this time, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook suddenly asked: “Erm ------I have to ask, why aren't you giving it a try?”

“Me? Try what?” Gu Qing Shan asked in shock.

He was confused.

“Isn't it obvious?” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook said.

The small white bird hurriedly: “Soul Separating Hook, it didn't tell this human reinforcement its identity, if you tell him now ------”

“What time do you think we're in right now that you're still concerned with such details?” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook scoffed.

The other weapons all nodded as well.

“You should give it a try, you have its presence on you, it can probably feel it” the shield reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan looked over the weapons and froze.

Presence?
--------the blue presence!

It was now that he understood.

“What a minute, could it be the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword you mentioned have a spirit? And she's called Shannu?”

“Yes, that's her” the shield spoke.

“The Six Paths Great Mountain Sword, Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook and Devil King Warden Rod are the three Divine Armaments of our Huang Quan” the great sword added.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and sighed.

So that blue-dress maid from before was the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword's spirit.
No wonder…
No wonder I feel a natural sense of closeness to her that isn't romantic love.
No wonder I gave her those three rare treasures!
So it was because she's a sword!
A sword!
Because a sword cultivator couldn't possibly refuse a sword without proper reasons!

TN: you thought she was a robot waifu, but no, she's a sword waifu instead.
