End of Battle
"Huang Quan essence… this is a Six Path Divine Skill! NO! Don't even think about it!" the Zishan young master's face changed, his hands moved quickly to cast a seal.
Over hundreds of searing flames suddenly appeared from behind him.
"Go!"
In the sky above, Gu Qing Shan felt all his blood freezing.
"No…" he muttered.
Suddenly Wang Li came infront and slashed his sword full of fire laws, cutting the technique.
"Can you help me block him for 10 breaths?" Bai Hua Fairy asked.
"What are you planning?" Wang Li asked.
"After thinking it through, I have only this last spell that might be able to kill him"
In the sky above.
"So that girl can use such a Divine Skill!" Qing Rou exclaimed loudly.
"So what if she can use a Divine Skill, both of us also have one, but in the——-" Wan Er was still concentrated on the fight below.
"It's different! You don't understand, this is a Six Path Divine Skill, the origin Law itself, as long as she can cast it, the cause and effect will be applied, no matter how much stronger Qi Yan is, he would still have to look out for it" there was a complicated look in Qing Rou's eyes.
Qi Yan is the Zishan young master's name.
A few seconds later, sure enough, the Zishan young master began to cast another spell, once again firing over a thousand flames to interrupt Bai Hua Fairy's casting.
"Such low cultivation, how did she learn such a powerful spell!?" he was a bit suspicious.
It seems one of these two worlds is a bit special, otherwise it definitely wouldn't have given birth to such a Divine Skill. Seeing the flames that filled the sky coming for her, Bai Hua Fairy couldn't help but stop, once again concentrating on dodging.
"Qi Yan is afraid of this!" Qing Rou's eyes glowed.
All ten of her fingers were clasped closely together, her thoughts moving fast.
A Tianma Empress, a Divine Armament with a spirit, and a Six Path Divine Skill ——–this is already the best chance she can hope for.
Possibly, even her only chance at revenge!
Qing Rou placed her hand on Wan Er's shoulder and very solemnly spoke: "I will go down there to help, you should stay here"
"Big sis! If you fail, you will suffer for eternity!" Wan Er hurriedly tried to stop her.
"If I fail, I will take my own life on the spot, I will even destroy my soul to not give them a chance to imprison and torture me" Qing Rou replied firmly.
"You should stay here, in case I fail, at least you'll be able to keep on living"
She let go of Wan Er and started heading downward without looking back. Her speed was increasing, approaching the battlefield. Wan Er looked at her shackles, then at the battle below, panicking, unable to decide just what she has to do.
"At least I will survive, at least I will survive…"
She kept repeating that over and over, then suddenly stopped.
Survive.
Keep being treated as a slave, living every day in fear, eating just for the sake of surviving.
"Big sis, I'd rather my soul die together with you than to keep living such a painful temporary survival"
She muttered in a low voice, then clasped her hands together into a seal, releasing all the spirit energy in her body.
"Hak!"
Coughing lightly, Wan Er's face started becoming red.
Warden's Locking Technique, [Release]!
"Aaaaaaaa! Unlock for just a moment, I need…."
As the wind released from her body, the chains and shackles were actually being budged just a little bit.
"….Freedom!"
Wan Er concentrated the spirit energy she had been silently accumulating for the past few years, shouting loudly: "Even a second is fine, I need freedom!"
Clink clink, clang clang, all the chains released from her body. Wan Er began to emit a powerful spirit energy wave. Turning into a streak of light, she headed for Qing Rou. Behind her, the chains and shackles quickly followed her down into the sky below.
On another side.
Gu Qing Shan was soaked in cold sweat from fear, but managed to regain his composure after one breath. Currently, both sides are still at a stalemate simply because Wang Li and Bai Hua Fairy's fighting style is too competent, and the Zishan young master wasn't using his full strength.
But even then, Projection realm and Virtualized realm are an entire realm apart, the difference in their strength is simply too great. How will they win. There's simply no hope to win. Bai Hua Fairy was approaching her omen of death closer and closer. Time was moving slowly but surely towards that moment.
Gu Qing Shan felt worried like never before, couldn't help but ask loudly: "How much longer until you're prepared?"
The black-clothed girl was now enveloped in a black miasma and replied in a low voice: { This place isn't the Tianma world so it won't be that fast! I need more time to prepare! }
Gu Qing Shan held his impatience down and looked around. Numerous flowers were appearing and blooming on after another, but the speed was incredibly slow.
He asked very seriously: "I know you're the master of all Tianma, don't you have any other methods to speed up this spell?"
{ There is a method, but there aren't any excess living beings around here for us to squeeze out Divine power, and my own presence is too great. I can't use it in this world otherwise we will be ejected from this world immediately } the black-clothed girl quickly explained.
"Take mine." Suddenly a voice was heard from behind them.
They both turned around only to see Wang Li over here.
"Senior brother?" Gu Qing Shan asked in astonishment.
Wang Li ignored him and asked the black-clothed girl: "How many do you need?"
The black-clothed girl answered: { It's useless for you to know.}
"Just answer the question."
{ At least 500 units of Divine power is needed to speed up the process! } the black-clothed girl angrily replied.
Wang Li silently nodded, then said: "Use my Soul Points"
{ Do you not want to live? }
"Use it!"
{ YOU WILL DIE! }
"JUST USE IT!"
{ …Fine, take my hand }
The hands touched.
A line of text appeared on the Omniverse Guild Chat.
[The Tianma Empress is requesting to absorb your Guild Points.]
[How much Guild Points would you like to give it?]
She said she needed at least 500, then… I'll give 2000.
"2000 Guild Points!" Wang Li answered.
In a few seconds, the massive amount of Guild/Soul Points went into the black-clothed girl's hand. An irresistible force pushed their hands apart. The shockwaves pushed the black-clothed girl back a few feet, making her hair and sleeves a bit messy. Her expression was that of disbelief.
{ How do you have so much Divine power; this is above Tribulation Realm level of Divine power! Just who are you? }
Although she was surprised by Wang Li and questioned him, her hands didn't stop for a single second. As she triggered the seal in her hand, space itself broke apart. Over hundred thousands of flowers appeared in front of them. The Tianma vase let out a clear chime. In a single moment, the spell had been completed!
{ This is the miracle of Divine power, being able to change the Law itself, ignoring cause and effect, that which the Tianma has always pursued } the black-clothed girl had a strange glow on her face.
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan's hand also formed the seal and spoke: "Then it's time for us to go!"
The sky below.
Boom, boom!
The earth once again exploded as Bai Hua Fairy avoided in midair.
Wang Li was protecting her by using his laws. Due to his cultivation level being low he is only able to show a tiny portion of the power of laws. Thanks to Wang Li, from the start until now, Bai Hua Fairy hasn't received any wounds. But her spirit energy and stamina were all used up and there's no time for her to replenish them.
"The situation has changed, not only do I want you, I also want your Divine Skill" the Zishan young master looked at Bai Hua Fairy as if looking at a rare treasure
Bai Hua Fairy spoke: "Leave this world, as long as you swear upon the Heaven's Dao to never mention this world to anyone and to never return here, I will consider exchanging the spell for the peace of the world"
The Zishan young master responded: "No, this world is mine, and your world will also be mine"
He then said: "I'm offering you a great deal here, become my maid, I will make sure to treasure you. You will also get to be the only one left alive in your world"
Bai Hua Fairy scowled and replied: "Never mind the other reasons, the fact that your face is simply so wretched that I feel sick just looking at you is enough"
The Zishan young master was stunned for a few seconds before he could react.
Wretched…
Ever since birth, no one has ever dared to call him such a thing ever before. He spreads his arms. A grey flame started burning in the palm of his hands.
"You are not exempt from any conditions that I offered" the Zishan young master coldly declared.
He's finally serious, determined to fight at his full power.
"I will first kill you, capture your soul, then seal it back inside your own dead body with 32 lock seals. I will make sure you taste eternal pain with no salvation!"
Saying so, he was about to step forward. Suddenly, a beautiful white-clothed girl slowly descended and came next to the Zishan young master.
The Zishan young master was surprised: "Hm? Qing Rou, why did you come down here?"
"Young master, I came to help you!" Qing Rou answered.
She was holding the gourd out to give to the Zishan young master, conveniently moving towards him. The Zishan young master's expression loosened and spoke softly: "So you're at least——"
The next words were stuck in his mouth. Qing Rou placed one hand on his shoulder, the other casted a seal and triggered it. A massive spirit energy wave began emitting from her body. The chains and shackles were blown away. In that short moment, the presence she released was only a little bit lacking compared to the Zishan young master. It seems she truly was a Tribulation realm cultivator! The very next second.
4 demonic creatures appeared from the void of space, biting the Zishan young master's hands and feet.
Shadow Divine Skill, [Hungry Ghosts Absolute Seal]!
Qing Rou shouted at Bai Hua Fairy: "Quickly, I can't hold on for very long!"
While she was talking, Bai Hua Fairy's hands were already clasped together. Concentrating fully on casting the spell, Bai Hua Fairy's hands once again glowed a blinding green. The Zishan young master struggled, but found that he was held still by the 4 demonic creatures, unable to move at all.
He then suddenly started laughing: "I was wondering why you were so docile, so you've been sneakily accumulating spirit energy all these past years to wait for the moment to attack me"
"Very well, today I'll make sure you know your place!"
He just stood still, but a protection talisman flew out from under his robe, releasing a magnificent light that enveloped him.
"Guang Yang sect's only dispel talisman, capable of removing all spells below Virtualized realm" the Zishan young master triumphantly declared.
As soon as the 4 demonic creatures were shined on by the talisman, they screeched and disappeared without a trace. But before the Zishan young master could move, another feminine hand had already placed itself onto his shoulder.
Wan Er had descended, shouting with her soft voice: "Soul seal!"
The very next second, 5 chains coated in green flames rose from the ground, coiled around the Zishan young master's torso up to his head, as well as his four limbs, locking him in place.
Warden Divine Skill, [Hundred Demons Seal]!
As soon as the spell finished, the Zishan young master roared in anger. His boiling spirit energy rose up to the sky, increasing the shine of the talisman. Being hit by this light, the green flame chains began shaking nonstop. Wan Er's face paled, but she was still desperately using her spirit energy to resist.
"Big sis Qing Rou, my spirit energy isn't enough to resist him!"
"I'll help you!"
Qing Rou flew over and started transferring her spirit energy over without any reserve. At this moment, Qing Rou's hands were on Wan Er's back, while Wan Er's hand was on the Zishan young master's shoulder. Their combined strength finally managed to stabilize the green flame chains, restraining the Zishan young master tightly. The three of them were silently fighting over control of the chain Divine Skill. Rips started to appear on the talisman in the air.
"No!" the Zishan young master's face changed.
Having to deal with two Divine Skills consecutively, the second of which came from a long lineage, no matter how strong the talisman was, it couldn't handle it.
With a 'pah', the talisman blew up into pieces.
"Bitches! No wonder the two of you could sneakily gather spirit energy! So the little bitch knows the Warden's Sealing technique!" the Zishan young master's tone became cold.
Wan Er loudly declared: "I originally didn't, but when big sis Zi Yu was humiliated to death by you, she bestowed the entire technique to me!"
"This is the karma coming back to bite you for all the wrongs you've done!" Qing Rou said in a low voice.
"Ahahaha, what a thing to say, karma coming back for all the wrongs I've done? However, you'll have to be disappointed" the Zishan young master declared.
A small formation plate came out from his robe, letting out a blinding light.
"Father gave this to me, a pre-programmed two-world warp formation! As long as even a little bit of my thought can still move, I can still trigger it"
"After 15 more breaths, I will have already warped back to my world"
"I will then lead even more people here to take away your life, to take away all of your lives!"
"I will seal your souls; I will anchor them in place! You all will face PER! MA! NENT! TOR! TURE!"
He begrudgingly spat out every word, towards the end, he was already gritting his teeth as he cursed out each syllable. The small formation plate glowed, moving back and forth as if to find the place to break open space and connect the two worlds. Qing Rou gritted her teeth, took out a blood-colored dagger and stabbed it into the Zishan young master's body.
Another automatic talisman flew out, turned into a thick shield and blocked her.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in front of the Zishan young master. The Great Monk of Sorrow appeared, striking at the Zishan young master. Several dozen talismans appeared from the Zishan young master's body, emitting light to face the Great Monk of Sorrow.
Bam!
The golden light was knocked away, disappearing even quicker than when he appeared.
"Useless! Useless! Useless! None of you can hurt me, I have over a few thousand protective talismans!" the Zishan young master laughed.
Suddenly, the heaven went dim. An overflowing river swept across the sky. A small dingy came from the sky, a slender feminine figure stood at the end of the dingy, steering it forward while looking at the people below. The overflowing Forgetting river, and Huang Quan's ferrywoman. The Zishan young master's face paled.
"An attack-type Six Path Divine Skill, oh no…"
He hurriedly looked at the small formation plate, only to see it was still gathering power. He attempted to break free of his restraints but under the combined power of two Tribulation realm cultivators, the chains of a Warden's Seal Divine Skill wouldn't budge so easily.
Wan Er stared at the river water, feeling an unnatural sense of unease and asked in a low voice: "Big sis, what is that?"
"Just stand and watch, don't say anything" Qing Rou was also uneasy answering her.
No matter what they do, they couldn't kill Qi Yan, but Qi Yan clearly fears this Six Path Divine Skill. They have no other choice but to trust this Skill.
The dim green flame inside the skeletal girl's sockets scanned over everyone, asking from afar: "How many needs to be ferried this time?"
"There's not a lot of time, please help me ferry this man into Huang Quan" Bai Hua Fairy answered.
The skeletal girl looked at the Zishan young master, then spoke: "A Virtualized realm cultivator, the fee for just one person is expensive"
"I will pay it no matter how much" Bai Hua Fairy answered.
"All of your life force, as well as 1000 years of torture in hell, only then can I 'invite' him onboard" the skeletal girl replied.
Bai Hua Fairy went silent. Both Qing Rou and Wan Er looked at her worriedly.
"So that's why, so that's what is was" Bai Hua Fairy muttered.
"Qing Shan, Li, Xiu Xiu, Xiao Lou…"
She sighed heavily: "If I won't go to hell, then who would?"
While talking, her triple buns of black hair had already turned silver white. All the life force of a Projection realm cultivator, Bai Hua Fairy's own life force, was concentrated into a green ball of light at her fingertips.
She muttered: "Then let it be, I ——-"
The green flames in the skeletal girl's eyes flared brightly, waiting for her next words. Right at this crucial moment, a cold voice echoed across the heaven and earth overlapping with another eerie voice.
{"Oi skeleton girl, ignore the skill"}
This was Wang Li's voice. Although one of his eyes were still blue, the other eye was red.
"Why would I do that?" the skeleton girl asked though it seemed she was willing to accept.
{"Because I , The King of Dead, said so."}
Wang Li's statement made the skeleton girl smile as though she was satisfied with his statement.
{"And Shifu, you should leave this to us"}
"PLEASE TRUST US!" Gu Qing Shan shouted with a hoarse voice from above the sky.
"Li, Qing Shan…" Bai Hua Fairy muttered, then took back the green light in her hand.
Her hair regained its black luster. Before the crucial moment of life and death for both her and the world, she chose to trust in her disciples. The flowing Forgetting river in the sky was slowly dissipating.
Qing Rou and Wan Er stared at Gu Qing Shan and Wang Li.
The skeletal girl in the sky also stared closely at them, muttering: "So many demonic creatures…"
Seeing Bai Hua Fairy release her spell, Gu Qing Shan could finally sigh in relief. According to what the giant corpse told him, this would be the most crucial moment, this would be when she needed that pivotal push!
'No matter what kind of trouble I get into after this, as long as Shifu survives, it's worth it!'
He calmed himself down and looked at the formation plate in front of the Zishan young master. It was already melding into the void of space.
'Not good! He's going to get away!'
I have to make it in time, otherwise everything would've been for naught!
Triggering the vase with his spirit energy, Gu Qing Shan shouted: "We're going for it!"
{ Good! } a female voice rang from the void of space.
Demon World's Chilling Water Light, Mandela – Released!
The black-clothed girl appeared, standing close next to Gu Qing Shan. A human and a demon chanted an incantation together.
"The 10 directions of the world"
"Endless world of man"
"Millions comes from the trial of one"
"The vast and endless Tianma comes for you"
Following the incantation, innumerable Tianma appeared from behind them.
The millions, billions of Tianma quickly came, headed by Gu Qing Shan and the black-clothed girl. Seemingly knowing how urgent the situation was, they quickly followed behind Gu Qing Shan and harmonized singing their incantation.
{ { { World of freedom } } }
{ { { Great world of freedom } } }
{ { { Corrupted world of freedom } } }
{ { { Tianma of the endless worlds, quickly come and help me bridge this world! } } }
A dark light emitted from the countless Tianma, connecting inside the vase one by one. As the vase received these countless dark lights, it was shaking, trembling.
"Ahahaha, no matter what you're trying to do, it's already too late!" the Zishan young master loudly laughed.
He could finally breathe out from relief.
'But then ——just what is going on over there?
Why are there so many peerless beauties wearing such skimpy, tempting clothes that appeared from the sky?
It couldn't be, that world is full of women of this quality?'
He has already let his guard completely down, watching each and every Tianma with eyes full of lust. The formation plate floated in front of him had already ripped through space, slowly forming a hole. Inside the hole, the chaotic current of the space vortex flowed through. This is not just any space vortex, but one that connected to another world. The bridge between the two worlds were forming. In about 3 breaths later, the Zishan young master will safely warp away.
While Gu Qing Shan and the millions of Tianma carrying the vase were still very far away, completely unable to catch up to him. No matter how strong the spell he's casting is, if it can't reach then it can't harm the Zishan young master. Very quickly, the Zishan young master will bring even more troops and strong cultivators into Shen Wu world. They will even attack the cultivation world. The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
At that moment.
"He won't make it, Wan Er, let go!" Qing Rou dejectedly spoke.
If they won't let go, both of them will be brought back to the other world with the Zishan young master.
"No! No! NO! IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!" Wan Er desperately shook her head.
Qing Rou stayed silent without saying anything, two streams of tears flowed down her face. Her hands were still on Wan Er's back, and Wan Er's hand was still on the Zishan young master's shoulder. Wan Er was still doing her best to keep hold of the green flame chains, restraining him. Wan Er was close to being hopeless, but until the very last moment, she was not willing to let go.
At the same time.
The vase in Gu Qing Shan's hand was letting out a calming light. But inside the light, indescribable screams of agony and horrific figures appeared from the vase, flashed around it before disappearing.
{ [Demon's World Transportation] has finished casting, but this is too far away, we can't get him } the black-clothed girl regretfully shook her head.
"No! I will definitely make it in time, you just prepare to receive him!" Gu Qing Shan's eyes were bloodshot, shouting without regard of anything else. At such a moment, the black-clothed girl believes he's not the type to speak nonsense. She then regained her caution and became serious.
{ What are you —– } before she could finish.
Gu Qing Shan had disappeared together with the vase.
Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!
But then he reappeared, coughing up blood.
The Zishan young master laughed: "You think I'm a fool!? I've already prepared over 300 protective lock seals around myself, with the countless seals here, there's no way you're make it here!"
The two maids' eyes dimmed. Bai Hua Fairy still didn't move and just stood there, watching him. The black-clothed girl sighed. Gu Qing Shan wiped the blood from his mouth and gritted his teeth.
'No other choice, I can only ——'
In the very next moment, the fate of the worlds were completely changed. Gu Qing Shan disappeared from in front of the black-clothed girl's eyes. Just one second before, he was still holding the vase in hand, flying forward as fast as he can. But the next, he has disappeared. Instead, the Zishan young master appeared in his place. The Zishan young master appeared right in front of the vase's mouth. He found himself placing his hand on the vase. Completely confused, he couldn't register what just happened.
However before he could do anything Wang Li had already immobilized him for a few seconds.
[Lightning Shock]
[Yami Yami No MI: Black Hole]
Immediately after, the black-clothed girl already triggered the vase with her own seal. The light from the vase exploded.
[Demon's World Transportation]!
The light appeared like a giant mouth, swallowing the Zishan young master together with the countless protective lights around him. The Zishan young master was gone! He was sent to the Tianma's world by the Tianma vase.
And on the other side.
Gu Qing Shan replaced the Zishan young master where he stood, appearing at the place he was restrained in before.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
Perhaps feeling the minute waves of change in space, the small formation was disturbed by the Divine Skill and also released a blinding light. It activated one breath before it was supposed to! But at this time, Wan Er's hand was placed on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder, while Qing Rou's hands were still on Wan Er's back. Wang Li who was next to Bai Hua Fairy had also appeared next to Gu Qing Shan and held his shoulder.
The light flashed.
Wang Li's incarnation, Gu Qing Shan, Wan Er, Qing Rou all disappeared from where they stood. They were brought by the formation into the space vortex, heading to the Zishan young master's world. In that single split second, the situation was completely overturned. The war between the three worlds was stopped just like that.
The Zishan young master, Wang Li's incarnation, Gu Qing Shan, Qing Rou and Wan Er were all transported away. A completely different fate awaits all of them.
