returned to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood alone on top of the water as lines of blood-red text on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Water Tribulation had ended]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are now a Void Revolution realm cultivator]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can make the following choices:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[One, randomly draw a Card from the Condemnation (Fugitive) deck]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Two, if you give up on this draw, during your next advancement, you will obtain the right to choose from one of five randomly drawn Lapis Cards]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan remembered something and doubtfully asked: “I know this Card deck should have quite a few unique Cards, so why haven’t I seen any of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Which Cards are you talking about?] [Origin] asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan replied: “For example, summoning puppets or weapon prohibition, both of these Cards are unique and powerful in their own ways”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially weapon prohibition, to be able to directly select and seal an opponent’s weapon, it truly was ridiculously powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Origin] answered him: [Venerable Envoy of Condemnation, you must first understand something, the Condemnation deck is an especially powerful weapon that can change itself depending on the user]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, I might never be able to draw those cards?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed, due to their user’s varying characteristics and talents, even Cards of the same deck can change and transform into a completely different set of cards that is more suitable to the user] [Origin] explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why was I able to obtain the [True Crimson Demon Spear]?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That simply means that the card was especially suitable for you]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate for long before making his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I give up on drawing cards this time” he declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of text appeared on the [Origin] UI:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As you have given up on drawing cards this time, when you reach Three Thousand Worlds realm, you will be able to perform a selective Card draw]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded at this line of text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of Cards he had didn’t matter, what mattered was that he could use them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world of water around him disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan found himself returning to where he was originally with the God of Frost and Chill, the figure of light, and Luo Bing Li standing guard for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it?” Luo Bing Li asked from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s still only half-done, I need a bit more time” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the Realm Breaker Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the most precious treasures left by the Bygone Era humans, each person could only use a single one during their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Gu Qing Shan, in particular, this pill could help him go from Void Revolution realm straight to Three Thousand Worlds realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan put the Realm Breaker Pill into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s stuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill was too large, he needed to chew it up a bit first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan started to chew the pill while calming himself calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, I shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing will happen to Zhi Luo just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I barely spent any time passing the Water Tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountains of the Mahesvara realm are very sturdy, those people will need at least a few days to destroy the mountain and kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan finally finished consuming the Realm Breaker Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be frank, this Realm Breaker Pill was a bit too sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan silently sensed the spirit energy changing within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching Void Revolution realm, his spirit energy reservoir was increased by a massive leap, combined with the help of this Realm Breaker Pill, it soon reached the quantity standard for Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corresponding changes were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of his sword strikes increased more than two-fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit energy was the fuel for unleashing his sword techniques, so as the amount of fuel increased, so did the output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This principle was the same for any caster-type cultivators as well as any other kinds of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed and observed his body to find that there were no visible problems and calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then pondered about the Heaven’s Tribulations he would soon face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, Fire, Water, Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator attempting to reach Three Thousand Worlds realm must go through all four of these Tribulations in a row without fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be a tough and long process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for long, the wind had begun to howl around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand and dust were kicked up as the sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gu Qing Shan was standing alone within the chaotic howling wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the whispering of evil creatures began to appear in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil creatures showed up one by one, staring at Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 What powerful and energy-filled flesh, I already can’t contain myself 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Don’t you dare try to steal it from me! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 No, me! 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all charged towards Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Art, [Thousand Skies Drawn Shadows]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His 700 flying swords scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the reinforcement of seemingly endless spirit energy, each flying sword gave off hundreds and thousands of black sword shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless black sword shadows filled the entire Tribulation area, turning into a black screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black screen of sword shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Already using your full strength?” Luo Bing Li sent her voice to ask him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t have time to chit chat and joke around with these guys” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the black sword shadows scattered into the air, all the evil creatures were completely decimated and blown away by the wind, not even leaving behind a single scrap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that short massacre, Gu Qing Shan had a sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going through so many battles, he found himself now able to control more flying swords at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1200? Hm, should be around that much” he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind stopped blowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No evil creatures were left alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent flame abruptly manifested and caught onto Gu Qing Shan’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wind came Fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame spread and engulfed his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame expanded in front of Gu Qing Shan to reveal the scene of another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Mahesvara realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time to kill some people”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan lightly muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul vessel stepped forward, reached his hand into the void of space to grab the Chao Yin sword, and walked into the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man sensed the overwhelming spirit energy coming from Gu Qing Shan’s body, arched his back and bowed: “My friend, the Mahesvara realm is like your second home away from home, we gladly welcome you here again”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at him with a smile that didn’t seem like a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say that I had two choices, either to remain here or wait until you people killed Zhi Luo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man didn’t even dare to wipe the cold sweat from his head and smiled flatteringly: “It was only a joke of the moment, there is no need to think of it as anything but that, my friend”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was it really a joke?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man slapped his chest and quickly replied: “It was definitely a joke, definitely do not believe otherwise, sir”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan also glanced at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were also joking”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, it was hard for us to meet a new friend, so we joked around a bit”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend, Zhi Luo is a good lady who’s closely related to you, why would we kill her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators all quickly followed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded and asked: “Which means, all of you were only cracking jokes with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“””Indeed! indeed!”””\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators all hurriedly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it was only a joke, it seems I don’t need to be mad after all”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, there is no need to think too much about it, you are our esteemed guest, we wouldn’t do anything reckless”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, come, get our friend some fine liquor”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, get our finest food quickly as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators all got busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how they reacted, Gu Qing Shan put the Chao Yin sword back into the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chao Yin sword just let out a single ‘oong’ and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made quite a few of them sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan received the cup of liquor, glanced around, and took a headcount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“701 people, tch, one extra. Fortunately, if I also crack a joke, it should be just enough”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the cup to all the cultivators here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurriedly raised their cups as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan swiftly drank the entire cup in a single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, 700 sword images flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an assassination sword technique, not only was it as fast as a flash of light, it attacked the target from both the front and back at once, making it almost impossible to defend against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the cultivators in the plaza were eliminated in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the old man was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan put the cup back down and looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the old man didn’t have another secret technique to protect himself, and because of Gu Qing Shan’s greatly increased cultivation realm, the old man couldn’t even resist the [True Soul Cleaving Eyes].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After vanishing for the blink of an eye, the old man appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His corpse landed directly on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying swords gathered behind him one after another until they formed two pairs of floating winds and faded back into the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked down at the corpses everywhere and muttered: “There, that’s how you should crack a joke”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying so, he leapt upwards and flew towards Zhi Luo’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>",1686,"2026-06-09T03:05:26.397Z",1,"novelbin.me","248ee3f924cce8f9ec78cc0beae397eae79e4327b1dc69971770de7f05e96d8d","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-843","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-841",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
