Chapter 1120 - Azure Dragon!
Chapter 1120: Azure Dragon!
Night.
Barren land.
A meteor descended from the sky, crashed into the ground, and formed a huge crater.
A few moments later.
A pair of pure gold chopsticks flew out from the crater and broke through the void of space again.
It flew across various destroyed worlds as well as worlds with living beings and continued to fly.
Numerous worlds later.
After an unknown amount of time, it finally arrived in front of its master.
The golden chopsticks trembled and silently landed on the table.
It understood that its master wasn’t in a good mood, so it didn’t say anything and silently laid there.
A few moments later.
Its master’s voice finally sounded.
“Someone actually had the gall to kill one of my men, how interesting”
Silence.
On top of a snowy peak, the numerous wraiths and servants remained still without answering him.
The master’s voice resounded again: “Someone summon his soul; I want to ask him what that Huang Quan Devil King actually said”
One of his servants began to form hand seals to summon his soul.
Time slowly passed.
This servant was sweating bullets, but continuously used the various soul summoning techniques, and was still unable to summon the soul of the dead subordinates.
Even after 53 techniques, he still couldn’t produce any results, when he was about to try a 54th technique, he found that his body had gone missing.
There was a pile of bones on the floor where he stood, while the only thing that remained of him was his soul.
All of a sudden, a long tongue reached out from the void of space, coiled around the soul, and pulled him somewhere.
Silence.
The entire world remained silent; everyone held their breaths in fear of it drawing the master’s attention.
The master’s voice resounded again:
“How useless, someone else do it”
None of his servants dared to move, while a relatively muscular wraith stepped out and began forming a hand seal.
He tried three techniques in a row but still had no effects.
After a bit of thought, he knelt down and reported:
「 Sir, this subordinate has tried, there really is no way to summon his soul 」
“Hahh?”
The master put some emphasis on the question.
Surprisingly, the master didn’t seem to be angry, on the contrary, he was feeling a bit intrigued instead.
“So, not even you could summon his soul?”
「 Yes 」
“Interesting, how very interesting, let me give it a try”
The Laws of Heaven and Earth gathered on top of the mountain but soon scattered.
“A failed summoning”
The master curtly stated without anger or joy.
A split second later.
The world started to change as countless stars descended from above, falling onto the peak.
“Found it”
With this declaration, the supernatural phenomena from earlier vanished, as if they never happened at all.
The world returned to darkness.
Only a small, faint glow remained.
“How extraordinary…”
“No wonder you couldn’t summon his soul, because his soul itself had been destroyed, leaving only the very last spark floating within Primal Chaos”
“I would have to use a Space-Time reversal technique, a soul growth technique, as well as a body reconstruction technique to have him return”
The wraith remained kneeling on the ground, silently listened as the master stated and finally clasped his fist: 「 You have boundless greatness, sir, this subordinate truly admires you 」
“There is no need for such admiration… because I won’t be doing that”
The wraith tried asking: 「 Why not? 」
A hand reached out to crush that faint glow.
This time, that soul would thoroughly return to Primal Chaos without any means of being resurrected.
The master’s voice resounded again:
“It’s merely a dog, there is no need for me to spend such effort”
“If I want to know what happened, I simply need my chopsticks to use Image Reconstruction”
The golden chopsticks were still laying on the table when it heard its master’s words, it understood that now was its turn.
It flew up and projected an image with light.
The conversation between Gu Qing Shan and the servant was displayed, slowly revealing every detail.
Followed by the battle.
A sword clad in lightning struck the golden chopsticks and immediately caused the servant to become restrained.
And then the Huang Quan Devil King spoke: “You only know that your master’s chopsticks are powerful, but fail to realize that gold has the third highest electric conductivity among metals, losing to bronze but is better than aluminum”
The Wraith realm master was constantly tapping the table with his finger, but abruptly paused when he heard this.
The wraiths also went silent.
Everyone’s gazes were focused on the golden chopsticks.
Electric conductivity?
This pair of golden chopsticks was a first-rate treasure, whenever it was bestowed to a subordinate, they would always have the initiative in combat, never once losing.
Who would’ve thought… these chopsticks can conduct electricity…
The wraiths continued watching the projected image.
The servant then doubtfully pointed at the sword sticking out from his chest.
The Huang Quan Devil King then shook his head: “I’m not going to tell you”
After that was the scene of the Devil King and golden chopsticks trying to ambush one another, ending in the chopsticks escaping.
At this point, the projection slowly faded.
The Wraith realm master pondered for a bit and slowly stated: “This Devil King understands the relation and composition of matters, using electricity to break through my golden chopsticks’ Causality Laws, what a strange way of thinking”
“Furthermore, the Huang Quan Devil King’s power is quite decent indeed, more than capable of suppressing the unruly prisoners in Hell, then push them to work when necessary”
“Then… let’s send another to recruit…”
He didn’t continue.
Because a flare had flown in from the void of space, hovering in front of the Wraith realm master.
He received the flare and inspected the content.
The atmosphere instantly changed.
Intense, boundless rage manifested out of thin air, enveloping every wraith in the vicinity and caused them to be unable to stand up straight.
The master had suddenly become angry!
Plap plap———
Everyone immediately prostrated to the ground and held their breaths.
The master’s spoke in a heavy voice:
“They say that ruining one’s livelihood is as serious as killing their parents”
“I thought this Devil King was a smart one, but he did some very unnecessary things and ruined my private farm”
The wraiths quickly understood what they needed to do.
“This subordinate is lacking, but willing to work for you, sir”
“Master, please send me, I will surely cut him into a thousand pieces!”
「 Sir, I will ensure that he receives nothing but the worst tortures imaginable, then consume him whole 」
They all volunteered one after another.
The Wrath realm master stopped them all: “Silence”
All the voices stopped.
“I want to kill him and make sure that everyone can see his suffering!”
“Azure Dragon——-”
“Go and kill that Devil King, extract his soul and parade him over the Huang Quan world, that will show those Deities who’s above them”
With that declaration, a dragon roar resounded from deep above the sky.
An azure glow boiled like an aurora, moving randomly above the night sky.
A few moments later.
The gigantic, perfect body descended from above, circling once around the mountain.
Followed by lightning, thunder, strong wind, and frigid rain.
The wraiths couldn’t help but remain as close to the ground as possible in order to marginally prevent themselves from being blown away.
「 Under——stood——- 」
A resounding heavy voice echoed, causing the ground itself to tremble.
…
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes in his ship.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve reached the {Yama King} realm]
[From this point on, you are a {Yama King} realm cultivator]
[Your spirit energy had been increased by 70%]
Gu Qing Shan stood up and checked himself.
Indeed, his spirit energy had grown by a large margin.
In normal combat, the more spirit energy a cultivator had, the more powerful their attacks would be.
A cultivator’s total spirit energy reserve would also determine how long a cultivator could fight continuously.
For that reason, spirit energy was very important to a cultivator—– but it wasn’t a total deciding factor.
Because on the battlefield, a cultivator’s ability to improvise, the potency of their equipment, the cultivator’s sense of determination and will, not to mention tactics and ambushes, etc. would all contribute to either victory or defeat.
Why are people so afraid of sword cultivators?
Because sword cultivators were always ready to risk their life, and they were experts at killing.
Gu Qing Shan paced around the ship; a bit hesitant.
——–should I continue breaking through or not?
After reaching {Yama King} realm, he could feel himself absorbing the Demon Dragon’s power more efficiently.
The Demon Dragon was the most powerful Soul Artifact of the Bygone Era humans, but it was unfortunately taken over by the soul of a wraith, which led to the Bygone Era humans discarding it.
How could the power contained within only be equivalent to a single {Yama King} realm cultivator?
From Gu Qing Shan’s estimation, without the reinforcement of the Dance of the Earth God and the Blessing of Past Worlds, he would have needed a lot longer to fully absorb the power of the Demon Dragon.
So this is actually quite a rare opportunity——–
Should I continue breaking through?
Or return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom first to meet up with everyone and prepare for war?
While Gu Qing Shan was considering that, a few more lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Special note, you must continue to breakthrough in order to fully absorb the power of the Demon Dragon]
[Once you’ve fully absorbed the Demon Dragon’s power, you will obtain a new Thaumaturgy]
Gu Qing Shan knew that the War God UI purposely stopped here to wait for him.
200 Soul Points… isn’t that much.
He then said: “Fine, I’ll give you the Soul Points, tell me, what is that Thaumaturgy?”
Instantly, he was deducted 300 Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched and asked: “Why did you just take an extra 100?”
The War God UI deducted another 200 Soul Points and replied: [Because the answer is worth it]
Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied: “Fine, tell me, what is that Thaumaturgy?”
He was deducted another 300 Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan was irritated.
It’s the same question, why did you charge another fee?
However, this time he knew to remain silent without saying a single word.
Seeing him remain silent, the War God UI tried leading him on:
[Once you’ve thoroughly absorbed the power of the Demon Dragon, you will obtain a Thaumaturgy—–]
Gu Qing Shan kept his mouth shut.
Completely shut, refusing to say a single thing.
The War God UI waited for a short while before it had no choice but to continue: [Demon Dragon Transformation]
