Adorable, I’ll probably have to rely on you when the wind comes up again” Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu wu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade gourd pendant replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan once again had 30 breaths’ worth of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprung himself forward with all he said, desperately running forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, he saw some bones flashing by the corner of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the Lord of Total Distortion couldn’t move forward any further when he reached that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to perform another sacrificial ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan didn’t have the mind to pay attention to those bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after 10 breaths’ worth of time more, the terrifyingly ferocious storm winds would pick up again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sprinting at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashing with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was already running as fast as he possibly could with everything he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had already traversed an incredibly long distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of this dark hallway was still nowhere to be seen in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30 breaths were over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle breeze of wind began to pick up again inside this dark hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu wu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Should I do it now?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade gourd pendant asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan contemplated for the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–regardless of what thing or entity was unleashing this wind, it couldn’t possibly be sentient or alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no one could ever persistently use this kind of periodic wind to block out this tunnel for so many years without stopping, no matter how strong they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Unless that entity has already far surpassed my range of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the gourd Adorable’s ability could borrow and use this against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the only counter I know to Mystic-type abilities, so if I really run into a powerful enemy at the end of this path, the only one I will be able to count on is the gourd Adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t use it carelessly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan drew his sword and tried slashing the wall with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kriiiii——–ieeeekkkk—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an ear-piercing screech, the only thing that came from the wall was a few sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t, it’s too hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Makes sense—— if the wall wasn’t this sturdy, how could it endure this kind of wind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there nothing else I can do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind was becoming stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he could already sense an aura of death and destruction from the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t quite at the level of the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation, but it was more than enough to instantly erase a Divine King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another wound appeared on Gu Qing Shan’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fine slash mark could be seen on the [Black Smog Armor] as if it was no better than tofu against this wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was still quickly thinking as if he didn’t realize what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———I can’t wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do I have no other solutions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wall is too sturdy, I couldn’t even scratch it with my full strength…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightbulb in Gu Qing Shan’s mind suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled something from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a card that depicted a blinding red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rare item: True Crimson Demon Spear]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[While equipped with this spear, you can’t wear any armor at the same time]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This demon spear carries the Law-grade property: Absolute Sharpness]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: This is the first weapon created by Divinities from the Age of Old that can hurt them]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unstoppable!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan held the card tightly and waved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear that gave off blinding crimson light manifested in the void of space and fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s armor turned into a cloud of black mist and was blown away by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–as soon as he took the demon spear in hand, the [Black Smog Amor] broke and crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“YAAH!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan didn’t mind any of that and uttered a loud roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson light flashed briefly several and easily sliced through the wall like a hot knife through butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big hole was cut out from the wall of the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind had become ferociously intense again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side of Gu Qing Shan that faced the wind already had countless small cuts all over, causing him to bleed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t wait any longer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan jumped into the hole inside the wall together with the [True Crimson Demon Spear].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to be sure, he used a telekinesis hand seal to pick up all the pieces of the wall and shoved them back in; then used the strongest Elemental Ice he had to seal them from the inside, restoring the wall back to how it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind had just reached its strongest point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoh———-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled in a sorrowful and shrill manner, destroying everything that remained inside the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan finally managed to avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>",2071,"2026-06-09T03:05:26.397Z",1,"novelbin.me","6bfb758fdecea77a712f26bc4e3f97c3a6eebc845937f55470637c4bc0ace8d9","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-835","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-833",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
