Chapter 1622: Scheme of Apocalypse

Demon Dragon held the sword tightly.

He closed his eyes, seemingly communicating with the sword in his hand.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly heard the voice of the sword:

[So you were a unique Sequence, to be able to hide yourself this well, you are praiseworthy]

A second later.

The restraining technique affecting Gu Qing Shan disappeared.

“What are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked while preparing himself to act at any moment.

[Be patient, you’ll get your answer very soon]

The sword answered him.

Patient?

Gu Qing Shan seemed to have realized something and suddenly looked up.

Far above the profound darkness, a faint spot of light could be seen.

It was moving rapidly.

Groups of wraith spirits manifested themselves one after another, madly rushing at the spot of light to catch and devour it.

Unfortunately, no matter how those spirits tried, they couldn’t harm the spot of light at all. At most, they were only able to force the spot of light to leave a dim image behind as it continued to move forward.

This escaping method——–

Gu Qing Shan recognized it.

「 OOUUUOOOUU… No… forbidden… 」

The countless wraith spirits cried out all at once and howled.

In a short few seconds, the faint light had already traversed the entire length of the cliff and landed on the stone pedestal while glowing brightly.

——it was a mass of white flames.

It slowly morphed and turned into a glowing cloaked skeleton.

The Silent Light Apocalypse!

It was gone for so long, I didn’t expect for it to show up here!

The glowing cloaked skeleton suddenly turned its head towards Gu Qing Shan and commented: [A unique Sequence? How unusual]

Gu Qing Shan remained expressionless, but his mind was like a boat in the middle of a storm.

The glowing cloaked skeleton had actually come here personally!

Could it be…

All of a sudden, all of the howling wraiths stopped.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but look up.

Only to see that the wraith spirits above them had all become stationary.

——their time had been frozen.

A shadowy figure leisurely flew down from above and lightly landed on the stone pedestal as well.

This was a relatively mundane wraith cultivator.

He also nodded to Gu Qing Shan and said: “This was originally top-secret, but it is already at the verge of completion, and you have proven yourself to be one of the most exceptional Apocalypses, so it doesn’t matter if you learning of this a bit early”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then at the glowing cloaked skeleton.

End of Time.

Silent Light.

Two Apocalypses from outside the Reality Gate had gathered here.

And there was also that sword here.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “What exactly is going on?”

The wraith cultivator replied: “Among the Apocalypse Sequences of the past, a Divine Weapon was lost here during the attack on the Samsara. Since it was isolated by the Reality Gate and sealed away by the countless wraith spirits, we haven’t been able to find it up until now”

“In the near future, when the Reality Gate opened, Silent Light and I would enter this place to finally discover it”

“It would have originally been released anyways, but now that we’ve arrived at this period of time, let us speed up this process”

After saying that, the wraith cultivator walked up to the edge of the pedestal and tapped the void of space.

Following its touch, countless wraith runes manifested from the void of space.

“Cease” the wraith cultivator declared.

He then raised his fist and violently struck the void of space.

Boom!

Instantly, all the wraith runes were shattered.

The glowing, glittering wraith spirits also became dim and crumbled.

「 In the end… was still impossible… 」

The wraith spirits uttered an unwilling sigh before fading away into the darkness.

This whole underground world became silent again.

Not too long after that, some faint singing voices could be heard coming from deep underground.

The glowing cloaked skeleton stepped forward and said: [I’ll destroy the second seal]

The wraith cultivator stepped back.

The glowing cloaked skeleton lightly leapt and flew into the air.

[It’s here!] it shouted.

A second later, countless black flowers began to manifest within the void of space.

These flowers all flew up from deep underground and quickly surrounded the pedestal without leaving a gap.

The faint sound of singing was coming from inside the flowers.

As the flowers bloomed, beautifully alluring women flew out one by one, displaying their dream-like figures.

Tianma!

They’re Tianma!

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped.

The glowing cloaked skeleton scoffed: [You Wraith realm ghosts of the past, you no longer carry any power so you all might as well disappear, there was no need for you to arrive here just to die]

All the beautiful women looked at the glowing cloaked skeleton with sorrowful expressions before singing in unison:

『 My heart is a boulder, it cannot be moved 』

『 My heart is flat, it cannot be rolled 』

『 Dignity and refinement are simply such, it cannot be chosen 』[1]

They then turned into boundless black fog that rushed to fill this entire area with chaotic ghostly images before charging towards the glowing cloaked skeleton.

[Then die!] the glowing cloaked skeleton also transformed into a sky-high mass of white flames that enveloped all the black fog.

Instantly.

The black fog all dissipated.

The flowers in the void of space swiftly became withered before they scattered into the dark void below.

The white flames became a bit dimmer before turning back into the glowing cloaked skeleton.

[How difficult to deal with]

It landed back down and said with a slightly weakened tone.

“The seal had been undone, but there is still an outsider here” the wraith cultivator said.

The glowing cloaked skeleton turned to Zhao Jiu Xuan and whispered: [Return to silence, your sins shall be absolved]

“Brother Leng, save——”

Zhao Jiu Xuan felt the approach of death, but he only managed to utter a few words before his entire body was reduced to dust and vanished.

Demon Dragon suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at the scattering dust with a shocked expression, his eyes suddenly glowing crimson red.

“I only came here to take the sword, but you killed my sworn brother”

He gritted his teeth.

The voice from the sword replied: [No, you are incorrect. From today onwards, you are no longer a mortal living being, you should not harbor such emotions]

[Remember, you are the one chosen my me]

[You are the wielder of the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon, and now you shall learn the entire truth]

Fwoom!

Boundless light suddenly erupted from Demon Dragon’s body, enveloping both him and the sword.

“AARRGGH!”

Demon Dragon roared with utter unwillingness to accept, but still couldn’t resist the power of this light and ended up falling silent.

The wraith cultivator and glowing cloaked skeleton silently watched as this happened.

[After so long, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon has finally returned to the Sequences] the glowing cloaked skeleton commented.

The wraith cultivator replied: “With you here silently supporting me, I’m now confident in victory, and with the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon as well, we might be able to eliminate that female human on the spot, then take the opportunity to complete that matter as well”

The glowing cloaked skeleton replied: [Indeed, for those laughable living beings that hid in this Reality Gate and fell into a slumber, we now don’t even need to give them a chance to awaken]

The wraith cultivator agreed: “Whether it is those Awaitings, or the Samsara beings playing dead, we would be able to destroy them all at once this time!”

While they talked, the light on Demon Dragon’s body subsided.

He stood there with his eyes closed, seemingly fallen into some sort of strange state.

The wraith cultivator suddenly noticed something and said: “The Secret Apocalypse’s eyeball is about to descend in this world”

[Let’s go!] the glowing cloaked skeleton said.

It turned into a ray of white light, enveloping both Demon Dragon and the sword as they flew straight above the clouds.

The wraith cultivator nodded to Gu Qing Shan and told him: “This place no longer serves any purposes—— as the promised time is about to arrive and the Reality Gate is about to open, we should hurry on our way as well”

“Yes sir” Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and replied.

They both leapt into the sky as blurry figures.

The entire underground world returned to silence.

Darkness.

Reticence.

There were no longer any flickering spirits here.

Deep underground, where the flowers had fallen earlier.

The black flowers were gradually sinking into the void of space, thoroughly dying off.

Suddenly.

A cold gleam flashed in the darkness.

—-This was the profound gleam that could only originate from a certain kind of eye.

A cat’s eye.

An orange cat was pacing back and forth on the ground, apparently searching for something.

The cat was carrying a sword on its back.

Luo Bing Li’s voice could be heard from the sword: “Don’t be impatient, gongzi seemed to have sent his voice to them, as long as they’re still hanging on for even a little bit, I’d be able to save them”

The orange cat worriedly said: “But gongzi also said that these Tianma were restrained by the power of the seal, having no choice but to risk their lives against the Apocalypse. I don’t think they’d be able to survive”

The orange cat’s figure was nimble as it leapt back and forth between the rocks.

Unfortunately, within its inner sight, all of the black flowers had been destroyed.

None of the flowers remained.

Not even a small branch or petal was left.

The orange cat was a bit depressed.

Luo Bing Li also sighed and said: “It seems we can only use the second method he spoke of”

The orange cat nodded and took out a small bell bracelet.

A Tianma bell.

She held onto the bell with her paws and lightly shook it.

[1] Once again, the Tianma speak in what are basically ancient poems, more akin to riddles, their speech is practically impossible to translate properly
