For Huang Quan? For the human realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or perhaps this is a moment of passion, where you believe that you are the messiah chosen by the gods above, so you were willing to swear on your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s because I’ve already swore on that” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shannu froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan continued: “From the very first moments that I came to Huang Quan, I’ve already bet my life on this, to change everything that has happened”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the vast river below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river was still silently flowing without a care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient Demon Lord that he killed has already drifted to places unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I will win” he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons were a bit confused, not knowing who he was talking to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shannu thought for a bit, then spoke: “Very well, since you’ve swore on it, I will do everything to cooperate with you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body turned into white smoke and went into the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s tip turned by itself, tilting downwards as it hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan grabbed the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve received temporary use of the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Six Paths Great Mountain Sword, World’s ceremonial sword, Divine Armament of Huang Quan Path]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This sword’s attributes are unknown]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly knowing what Gu Qing Shan wanted to ask, more glowing text scrolled through the UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The sword had not recognized you as her master, so you are unable to know all the attributes of this sword]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[According to intelligence known, this sword has at least one Thaumaturgy: Invincible]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Invincible: All powers and abilities of all the worlds cannot possibly destroy this sword]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan noticed something, so he couldn’t help but ask with his inner sight: “What do you mean invincible? She was clearly heavily wounded just before”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They were the weapon spirit’s wounds, the sword itself was never damaged]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When the spirit is wounded, the sword will be unable to act by itself, but it can still be used by others]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Even if the sword’s spirit is killed, the base of the sword would still exist, only its Thaumaturgies

while silently talking to himself: “It’s fine not knowing the other attributes, I only need the [Invincible] attribute to stop the 7-colored spear for me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now that the Forgetting River Soul Separating spoke up: “Now that you’ve decided to cooperate, what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan spoke: “We need to go to the entrance to hell ——–I recall you said that hell is hidden under the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, at the bottom of the Forgetting River right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed” the Forgetting River Soul Separating answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long journey flying along the bottom of the Forgetting River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got close to where the foot of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain was, Gu Qing Shan noticed a cave hidden below the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been submerged underwater for so many years, he has to go deep inside to find the pathway to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing the weapons with him, Gu Qing Shan passed through several dozen miles of underwater tunnel before he arrived at the center of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The center of the mountain was dry and empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark tunnel about 100 meters tall was in front of Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the entrance to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan evaluated the tunnel for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-colored light wrapped the outside of the entrance to the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he tried getting close, a force rejected his presence and pushed him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the dead may enter here, you might be in soul form right now, but you can’t enter hell” Forgetting River Soul Separating told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded and asked: “That’s why the demons couldn’t do anything to hell, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the blue-dress girl’s voice came from the sword: “What are you planning to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first step is to eliminate the demons” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Tie Wei Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While being sealed by the gold talisman, the 7-colored spear still managed to fire off a brilliantly blinding phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phantom spear shot up towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, all 36 Huang Quan weapons were releasing a shining light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights connected to one another, forming the Great Sealing Formation that received the phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation and the spear met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light and dark flickered without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 36 weapons were also crying out without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t stop it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stalemate was about to be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons are about to be destroyed by the 7-colored light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, an increasingly bright faint light came out from the Forgetting River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light quickly ascended, finally arrive in the middle of the 36 Huang Quan weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A khopesh appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back down, all of you” the Forgetting River Soul Separating ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we do, no one else can hold it off” a weapon refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back down, what you need to do now is to preserve your life, there will be others to deal with the spear!” the Forgetting River Soul Separating shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the three Divine Armaments of Huang Quan, its words are trusted by the weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 36 Huang Quan weapons retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While retreating, they still maintained the Great Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–it’s because they don’t dare to cancel it out entirely right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did, the 7-colored spear might instantly kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the weapons retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear returned to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another part of the mountain, the countless demons and Demon Lords watching this once again broke out into frenzied laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were laughing, howling, throwing their bodies in the air to signify another victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from where the 7-colored spear rests, everywhere else have already been taken over by the demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not counting hell itself, this world is already theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, a figure came out from the Forgetting River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand, he headed for the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was moving towards the 7-colored spear as fast as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the demons once again got rowdy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were staring at this, waiting to see the scene of the 7-colored spear once again taking a life away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan headed up the barren mountain cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear seems to ignore this as it didn’t react at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when Gu Qing Shan was half-way there ——–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phantom spear shot out from the 7-colored spear, aimed at Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spear’s length was over a few hundred meters long, instantly making it to where Gu Qing Shan was in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death approaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the very next second, Gu Qing Shan will be killed by the phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change one bit, only slightly shifting his body before disappearing in front of the phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan appeared at another path and kept heading up the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he used [Ground Shrink] again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unbelievably long distance was covered in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’ll arrive at the top of the mountain soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how fast and easily the enemy was approaching, the 7-colored spear seems to be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It releases 3 phantom spears in a row, firing them straight at Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the weapons of Huang Quan didn’t receive such a treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 3 phantom spears followed one another, completely covering the remaining length of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight locked onto the last phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he changed places with the last phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was now at the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s now or never!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s body shifted and appeared near the 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that split second, intense light erupted from the 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted to release a few more phantom spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was able to attack first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phantom sword slash appeared from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear hurriedly released a phantom spear to destroy the phantom sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth phantom spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous spears came striking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this most crucial moment, Gu Qing Shan didn’t even have time to activate a Divine Skill, only retracting the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to block in front of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phantom sword abruptly appeared from the other side of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When the sword cultivator attacks with his sword, an exact same attack will appear at the back of the opponent]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfectly timed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phantom sword connected with the 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lightly scraped the surface of the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knocking the gold talisman away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear stopped for a single moment, obviously found that unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that short moment, the spear did not release anymore phantom spears to attack Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword up to stop the first few phantom spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous noise rang out across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six Paths Great Mountain sword had blocked the phantom spear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the power of [Invincible]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword is the hope of survival that Gu Qing Shan found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the force of the spear, Gu Qing Shan fell backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense force pushed him flying like a comet towards the Forgetting River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forgetting River split apart, welcoming him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting a single moment, he headed straight for the entrance to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand, dodging constantly while flying backwards, Gu Qing Shan finally stopped at the entrance tunnel to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling down from the sky, he was breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-colored spear is powerful enough to easily kill Divinities and Demon Lords, one small slip up and he would’ve died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite how easy the battle just now seemed, every moment took all of Gu Qing Shan’s battle experience and expertise just to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was officially the most skillful battle he has ever been through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he’s able to calm down, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a sense of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——together with the 36 weapons that retreated before, the total amount of weapons have increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-dress girl also appeared, wanting to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that accomplished just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook became agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quickly look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone attach to me, something horrific is happening outside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook’s voice seemed a bit frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons all touched the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan also touched the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of what’s happening outside appeared in their inner sights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the gold talisman to suppress the spear, the situation changed greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Qing Shan left, the 7-colored spear completely ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it instantly released countless 7-colored phantom spears to rip the gold talisman to shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that wasn’t enough, as tens of millions of phantom spears erupted from the 7-colored spear to thoroughly destroy even the space where the gold talisman fell for 5 breaths straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until when the gold talisman was so decimated there wasn’t any traces of it left that the 7-colored spear finally vibrated out of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment ——–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billions of colorful phantom spears shot out from the spear, covering the entirety of the world of Huang Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huang Quan is done for” Shannu glared at Gu Qing Shan and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep watching” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look now!” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook also urged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shannu then infused her inner sight into the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the demons have fully taken over the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, only staying away from where the 7-colored spear was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the gold talisman was gone, the power of the 7-colored spear was fully released without any limiters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was nothing but colorful spear phantoms that filled the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the spears flew, all the demons there died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incapable of any resistances, millions, billions of demons were wiped out by the 7-colored spear they brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood flowed like rivers down the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, going into the Forgetting River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few particularly powerful Demon Lords could still cry as they ran for their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Huang Quan, the only thing besides the Grand Tie Wei Mountain is the Forgetting River and hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Lords are unable to enter hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the Forgetting River is the same as dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful Demon Lords gathered to form a great barrier, wanting to stop the 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of resistance only invite even more phantom spears towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of thousands of phantom spears showered them like the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They managed to hold on for a few fleeting breaths before the gigantic Demon Lords all fell down one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most powerful Demon Lords of the army, they were supposed to head to conquer the human realm after Huang Quan is under their control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, they were similar to ants that were wiped out on the spot indiscriminately by the 7-colored spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a mere 10 breaths, all the demons and Demon Lords in Huang Quan were no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And done” Gu Qing Shan casually said.\u003C\u002Fp>",2419,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","2eae0c78d66fb09bf8dfbb2281dd0b8add3f0c14d21b5a30db574e975942bc83","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-399","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-397",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
