Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Gu Qing Shan was now facing his Tribulation seriously.

This time, he didn’t run or avoid them.

In the sky, below in the water, all around, countless bolts of lightning came soaring from all directions.

Most of the ghosts and revenants weren’t able to avoid them in time and were turned to ash by the Tribulation Lightning.

A few particularly powerful ghosts tried to block them

But this was Tribulation Lightning whose strength had been increased by the Old God’s divinity, so they were simply turned to fine grey ash at the very first touch.

The entire camp went into a frenzy.

Gu Qing Shan stood at the center of the camp, controlling his three swords to circle around him, striking each and every bolt of lightning that came his way away.

He couldn’t leave.

Because if he did, the Tribulation Lightning would quickly follow.

So he had no choice but to use all he had to defend against the power of the Tribulation.

Like a rain shower in a monsoon, the white-blue bolts of lightning poured down on him one after another without stopping.

Gu Qing Shan stood still in one place, not backing off even a little bit.

Briefly, all three swords showed themselves.

Countless black sword shadows appeared and scattered, destroying the bolts of lightning they struck.

As soon as the white-blue lightning went away, the crimson Soul Annihilating Lightning came down on the camp like a giant spotlight.

Gu Qing Shan still didn’t avoid it and swung his swords to receive the strike.

Secret Art, [Crescent Slash] x8!

The crimson spotlight was struck by the light blue sword phantoms, breaking off and scattered like blood, collapsing irregularly.

As soon as the giant bolt of Soul Annihilating Lightning was destroyed, 12 giant arms of shining lightning held up their lightning whips and proceeded to attack him.

This was the most terrifying Manifestation Lightning.

Gu Qing Shan——

Turned and ran away!

He had no choice, when Soul Annihilating Lightning manifested itself as a whip, its power increased exponentially.

Even with the Armor of God’s Protection, Gu Qing Shan wasn’t convinced he would remain unscathed after being struck by that.

12 whips of lightning followed and struck at him with consecutive snaps.

Gu Qing Shan ran away even faster!

Immediately, countless moans of pain arrived in his ears.

They were the final cries of ghosts struck by the whips just before their deaths.

The three swords followed closely behind Gu Qing Shan.

“Gongzi, there are still a third of the ghosts alive, they’re about to escape!” Shannu hurriedly told him.

“Is that so?”

Gu Qing Shan ran around the camp as he paid some attention to the ghosts.

At first, when the Lightning Tribulation suddenly appeared from the ocean, more than 10,000 ghosts were eliminated on the spot.

After that short battle, the countless stray bolts of lightning had destroyed over 50,000 more.

At this point, most of the ghosts who could finally move were scrambling to run away from the camp.

They realized what was going on.

The Tribulation Lightning was striking at the camp.

So their only way to survive was to escape from the camp!

These weren’t harmless ghosts, there were quite a few ghosts whose speed were significantly faster than a cultivator at the same level.

And those speed-type ghosts were the first to run away at full speed.

In just a few seconds, they had already gotten to the perimeter of the camp, just one second later and they would have escaped.

Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply and told Shannu: “Don’t worry, they won’t get away”

He quickly returned to the center of the camp and equipped the unique title [Starflame War God].

Immediately, [Conquer] was activated!

The entire army of ghosts were the targets.

A ghost commander stood out and loudly ordered: 「 Go! Kill that cultivator, as long as he dies, the Tribulation will end!  」

「 For survival, kill him!  」

Roar!!!

The ghosts all turned around, charging at Gu Qing Shan with their weapons!

On another side.

The demonized’s camp.

“This is lightning, no, much stronger than normal lightning, it seems to be a cultivator’s Lightning Tribulation”

One of the demonized carefully sensed the presence from afar.

“Something isn’t right… ghosts and revenants naturally fear Elemental Lightning, did they run into some trouble?”

He asked suspiciously.

Another demonized coldly smirked: “Who cares, they dare call us slaves, let them die”

A demonized cultivator stood up: “I know what this is! A cultivator is facing Heaven’s Tribulation and using the power of Tribulation Lightning to eliminate the ghosts!”

He continued: “We should go save them, and take a look at who’s facing the Tribulation——- you should know, when a cultivator passes a Tribulation, their strength will be magnified significantly, we can’t let our guards down”

“Are they going to be strong enough to win against 2 million of us here?” another demonized asked jokingly.

The cultivator was stumped.

The other person continued: “If [Origin] gives us a mission to save them, I’m willing to do it for the rewards. But if there’s no benefit, who would go?”

He was expressing the thoughts of most demonized people here.

Indeed, not only were there no mission rewards, there wasn’t the slightest bit of benefit either, why should we save those bastards who look down on us and call us slaves?

At this time, the leader of the demonized stood up.

“Don’t be noisy, I’ve sent someone over to check. Regardless of what happened, this is still the most crucial period of time for [Origin], everyone should stay on guard to prevent anything unexpected” he said.

Seeing their leader say that, the demonized had to nod and agree.

“Report—–!”

A demonized breathed heavily as he ran into the camp and knelt in front of the leader.

“So, what’s the situation?” the leader asked.

“No, no good, we couldn’t see the exact situation” the demonized answered while short of breath.

“Couldn’t see it?” the leader asked in surprise.

“Yes, the entire ghost army’s camp was being carried away from us by the tsunami waves too fast, and there are more and more lightning being created every second so we couldn’t get a clear look into the camp” the demonized explained.

The leader fell into thought briefly and asked: “What about the Lightning Tribulation? Did it disappear?”

The demonized replied: “It didn’t. The Lightning Tribulation is closely following the ghost army’s camp without stopping. It’s possible that they’ve suffered heavy damage”

The leader fell into thought again.

“Lightning Tribulation…”

Suddenly, he recalled the giant revenant that appeared out of nowhere.

Realizing what happened, the leader’s expression warped.

“This is very bad!!!”

“Relay my order, everyone immediately set out to reinforce and save the ghosts, kill anyone that disobeys orders on the spot!”

“Roger!”

The demonized were surprisingly well-disciplined.

In just a few dozen seconds, they have organized themselves and turned from a festive mood to battle-ready.

They orderly headed into the frozen ocean.

Sprinting at full speed disregarding loss of stamina, the demonized finally caught up with the ghost army’s camp in the shortest possible time.

The ghost army’s camp was now silently floating atop the ocean.

Bolts of blue or crimson lightning were still striking into the camp.

However, there weren’t any ghosts here.

In the entire camp, there was only a single cultivator with a sword in hand, enduring the lightning strikes.

He had some minor wounds, but basically unscathed.

A bright white light enveloped his body, blocking the occasional lightning strikes that got through for him.

When the demonized finally reached the camp, the lightning was slowly disappearing.

The tsunami no longer carried the camp forward.

As if it was perfectly timed.

The cultivator breathed heavily as he sat down on the spot.

Taking a pill from somewhere, he chewed it as he glanced around curiously.

The force of 2 million demonized had quickly surrounded the camp.

This was a situation where he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had wings.

They didn’t let their guard down despite there only being a single person.

Because they noticed.

This was the very same person who escaped from [Origin]’s pursuit at the top of the Old God’s mountain peak.

And just now, he had used his own Tribulation to eliminate all the ghosts!

Thinking that, the demonized all felt a chill climbing up their body.

Their leader stepped out.

“What a magnificent feat, eliminating 100,000 ghosts by yourself, I truly have to commend you” he stared closely at Gu Qing Shan and clapped.

“No need, I felt absolutely drained after that, if there’s a next time, I wouldn’t do this again even if I died” Gu Qing Shan laughed bitterly.

Three swords were silently hovering behind him in the air.

The demonized leader looked at his swords and asked curiously: “Now, this is no longer the peak of the Old Gods, how are you going to escape from us now?”

“Ah? Why would I want to escape? Or do all of you want to kill me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Of course, [Origin] put a bounty on your head, the rewards are quite enticing, I’ll tell you that much” the demonized leader smiled and said.

“Gu Qing Shan, I know your name, seeing how excellent of an enemy you are, I hope you will stay there and surrender”

“And then what?”

“After appropriate division, we will decide who gets to kill you”

“You expect me to surrender with such a terrible offer?”

“At least you won’t be tortured, and that your corpse will be left in one piece—– I can promise you that?”

Gu Qing Shan appeared curious and asked him: “Why are you this confident?”

“Do I really have to spell it out for you?”

The demonized leader asked him in return.

He looked around with a smile of absolute confidence.

2 million demonized people had formed an encirclement, standing everywhere there was space to stand.

2 million people against 1.

The results were obvious.

Gu Qing Shan just went silent for a brief second.

“Well it’s good that you’re all here, saves me the trouble of a round trip… “ he muttered.

“What are you saying?” the demonized leader asked.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.

Wind began to pick up around the camp.

The strange thing was that the wind didn’t come from above, instead, it rushed upwards from the ground.

This time, the Heaven’s Tribulation wasn’t a Lightning Tribulation.

The Wind Tribulation had come.

In the past, below the sea of swords in Shen Wu world, Bai Hua Fairy had broken through Sainted realm and entered Projection realm under similarly dire circumstances.

But in the end, she became the first great cultivator to break through the duo Tribulations of Wind and Lightning in the cultivation world.

And today, it was Gu Qing Shan’s time to face his own Wind Tribulation.

But unlike Bai Hua Fairy, Gu Qing Shan’s Wind Tribulation was carefully rigged by himself beforehand.

To kill the 2 million demonized here.

He had bribed the Devil Kings and Fiend Kings who obtained the Seats of Tribulation.

And now, the wind had picked up.

The armies of Fiends and Devils were approaching.
