Chapter 393 - Act first before saying anything
This was an unstoppable wave that had the power to shake entire worlds.
Gu Qing Shan in return, calmed down.
He asked again: “What are the demons doing?”
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook answered: “They’re blocking all entrances to Huang Quan to thoroughly quarantine this world”
“Why are they still so cautious despite the situation?”
“Because of us remaining Divine Armaments of Huang Quan, a few are thinking of ways to communicate with the 7-colored spear, others are stopping the selection of the Devil King”
The scene changed.
The top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The 7-colored spear was resting on a side of the mountain.
5-6 streaks of light circled around the 7-colored spear, occasionally ringing out loud.
They were the other ancient weapons of Huang Quan.
They were trying to communicate with the 7-colored spear.
The scene changed again.
In a certain hell, some powerful dead were currently in battle.
Finally, all the others died, only two of the most powerful dead remained.
They were both covered in wounds.
They attempted to attack with everything they had left, wanting to become the final victor.
A blurry Blade abruptly appeared from the ground, slashing through the two deads’ bodies.
It drew a flashing arc across the air.
Both of the dead died at the same time, once again falling into slumber.
This hell battle ended without a strongest being selected.
The dead will have to compete again once they’ve woken up.
From a time perspective, this will slow down the process of the Devil King being born.
Gu Qing Shan muses as he watched this.
Many hells have appeared in the human realm, but none of them truly started to attack the world yet.
The most powerful of the dead were still in hell, watching out for each other and competing for the title of Devil King.
“I’m currently a soul, can I join in the selection of the Devil King?” Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked.
“You cannot, you only seem dead, but you aren’t actually dead”
“Is that so”
The River Soul Separating Hook suddenly shouted: “Oh no!”
“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Another hell managed to pick out the strongest dead, there are a total of 15 hells that are done with their selection now”
“Once all 18 hells are done, the battle to become Devil King will immediately start”
“There aren’t any Divinities in hell at the moment, so the Devil King will have the power to control every dead creature, we have no way to stop this now”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Where are the demons?”
“They’re already all over Huang Quan, the only problem is that they can’t enter hell”
“Once the Devil King destroys the barrier to the human realm, the barrier of the 6 worlds will also fall, and the demons will be able to freely enter any world!”
“You’re saying that we really have no way to stop this?”
“I am”
Saying so, the River Soul Separating Hook dejectedly fell to the ground and stayed still.
Gu Qing Shan was also in shock.
Ever since he came to Huang Quan, everything has been one unknown after another.
The demons will rise from Huang Quan to take over the 6 worlds.
He didn’t know about this in his past life.
Not to mention that 7-colored spear, an incredible weapon capable of killing both demons and divinity.
The demons really invested a lot into this!
“There no way to overturn this” he muttered.
The River Soul Separating Hook suddenly stood up and yelled out: “Look!”
Gu Qing Shan grabbed it again, infusing it with his inner sight.
A phantom spear shot out from the 7-colored spear.
This phantom spear drew an arc as it circled around itself once.
Instantly, all the Huang Quan weapons hovering in the air got smashed to bits.
These ancient weapons of Huang Quan were manifestations of its Laws, but they couldn’t even take a single attack from the spear.
At a far away place on this same mountain.
Countless demons watched this and laughed mockingly.
Even the towering Demon Lords were laughing.
From the very start, the demons have been hiding in another mountaintop, silently watching everything unfold.
They knew how powerful the 7-colored spear is, so they’ve been waiting for this.
“We’re done, we’re one for…” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook dejected.
“Not yet, let’s watch some more” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
Dozens of flickering lights started to rise from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
As they flew in the sky, they were slowly moving in a strange, rhythmic pattern.
“The other 36 ancient weapons!” the Soul Separating Hook shouted.
“They are forming the Great Sealing Formation of the Age of Old!”
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook’s voice seems to be shaking.
“Is this formation powerful?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The legends told of an incredibly powerful demonic god in the Age of Old, where the 8 generals of Yama together couldn’t even defeat it, they could only use the Great Sealing Formation to trap it, then threw it into the space vortex to drift away” the Soul Separating Hook explained.
“You mean, these weapons also want to do the same?”
“That’s right, the weapons are forming the formation, this is so unprecedented that I’m not sure they’ll be able to pull it off”
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The 7-colored spear silently stood there with the gold talisman still wrapped around, sealing it.
It was probably due to the talisman that it didn’t act out much.
Gu Qing Shan observed it for a while, then suddenly asked: “Is there really nothing that can stop this spear?”
“That’s right”
“Isn’t the Tie Wei Mountain doing that right now?”
“The Tie Wei Mountain can, but it also can’t. We’ve already tried”
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook deeply sighed and spoke: “The manifestation of the Tie Wei Mountain truly is the only one of us three Divine Armaments that could stop the 7-colored spear”
“But without knowing what happened, it was already heavily damaged before the war even began”
“During the war, it only managed to stop a few of the 7-colored spear’s attacks before being knocked away”
“Furthermore, what use would there be to only stop the 7-colored spear? Now that the Divinities are all dead, even if it manages to fully heal and appear again, it can’t kill all the demons that have spread around the entirety of Huang Quan, and it definitely can’t stop the birth of the Devil King”
“The situation has gotten so bad that both it and I can’t stop anything anymore”
Gu Qing Shan rubbed his forehead, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
The 36 weapons in the sky were still slowly forming the Huang Quan Great Sealing Formation.
But then, even if they managed to seal the 7-colored spear, the Demon Lords and the Devil King were still there.
This was such an unimaginably desperate situation.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
He told the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook and the Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade: “Give me a bit of time, I have to think”
He walked a distance away with his back to the weapons, silently standing there.
“What is he doing? There’s no time left” the small white bird was surprised.
It wanted to fly over.
Oong!
A sword appeared from the void of space to stop the small white bird.
「Don’t」 the Earth sword spoke in a low voice.
“Are you his weapon?” the small white bird asked.
「Shh, don’t speak, give him some space」 the Earth sword told it.
“Hellspawn Blade, come back” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook said, “perhaps knowing too much of the truth had made him feel despair, he probably needs some time to calm himself down”
“So that’s why” the small white bird concurred.
The Earth sword spoke: 「That isn’t the case, he only needs some time to think, so please be quiet」
The Chao Yin sword was still holding this area up.
The other three weapons said nothing.
For a brief moment, the bottom of the Forgetting River was dead silent.
The rushing flow of water was like drifting mountains, showing themselves for a short moment above Gu Qing Shan as they passed by.
Gu Qing Shan stood absolutely still.
Are there any solutions?
If this was a war, what should I do?
A few moments later, his eyes lit up again.
Gu Qing Shan was still thinking, but he slowly made his way back.
“So, what have you come up with?” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook asked.
Gu Qing Shan answered: “There’s not a lot of time, and this is very troublesome, but it’s not entirely hopeless”
“What? Hope? You said there’s still hope?” the small white bird was thrilled.
“We humans have a saying that fits the current situation very well”
“What saying?”
“Stop thinking so much and just act first before saying anything”
