Chapter 390 - Battle of Divinities and demons
The Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook flew down and into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[The Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook, Huang Quan Path’s Divine Armament, specialized for Divinity]
[All of this Divine Armament’s statistics are unknown, you cannot learn its information unless it willingly accepts you as its master]
Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay much attention to that and turned around, activating [Ground Shrink]
He appeared outside the shrine.
An eerie inner sight came scanning over him.
———in the human realm, no other people knew how to use inner sight so Gu Qing Shan could let it loose as he liked.
But here, the Soul Devouring Arachna’s expertise with inner sight was so great that it had already surpassed the cultivation world’s understanding.
Noticing this inner sight, Gu Qing Shan carefully retracted his own.
He kept it hidden inside his body to avoid it touching the inner sight.
“I’ll hold it off!” the male Asura yelled and jumped out.
“Leave now!” the human old man also shouted as he flew towards the Arachna.
Halfway there, they abruptly disappeared.
The Soul Devouring Arachna laughed: “You troublesome dead are finally going to be dealt with once and for all”
His vertical iris fell on Gu Qing Shan, then on the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook in his hand.
“Seems like you’re that insect who came from the human realm. You dared to enter the Divine Armament worshipping shrine, I wonder if I should call you smart, or naïve?”
His bulky body slightly bent downward before turning into an afterimage.
With intense wind pressure, the Soul Devouring Arachna screamed and jumped at Gu Qing Shan.
What speed!
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered.
“I’ll hold him off!” the small white bird yelled out.
“No need”
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade with his other hand and instantly activated [Ground Shrink]
This isn’t the time to fight, I need to find out the truth first!
Just as the Soul Devouring Arachna appeared at the entrance of the shrine, Gu Qing Shan disappeared and reappeared at the river bank of the Forgetting River.
He dived straight into the Forgetting River.
The river opened up to welcome him.
The water then closed off behind him.
A second later, a furious roar came from the river bank.
The Soul Devouring Arachna already reacted as quickly as possible to arrive at the Forgetting River bank.
Leaning forward while standing at the bank, it wanted to see where Gu Qing Shan went.
Just a bit more and I would’ve caught him!
Such a sly human.
He clearly had the presence of a cultivator, but why did he not use inner sight?
The Arachna paced back and forth at the bank, but didn’t dare to enter the Forgetting River.
The Forgetting River was the most powerful Law of Huang Quan, representing the border between life and death.
This was the origin Law of the Huang Quan Path itself.
Even demons couldn’t go against this great river.
Bringing the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook and Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade with him, Gu Qing Shan already went far away in the blink of an eye.
After flying at the bottom of the river for long enough, he stopped.
“Nice to meet you, I am Gu Qing Shan” he introduced himself to the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook.
“There’s no need to say anything, I know, including the cause and reasons of why you came here, I know all of it” the khopesh said.
“I am the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook, all creatures dead or alive, all information comes to me at all times”
“I even know everything that happened since you came to Huang Quan, and what you want to ask”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and was finally able to relax.
——–finally something in Huang Quan that I can talk to normally.
“If you will, please manifest to meet me just once” Gu Qing Shan requested.
“You mean my spirit? I’m already here, only invisible”
A faint light came out from the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook’s body.
“In the world of Huang Quan, wherever there’s light, I am there” it explained.
That really is powerful, Gu Qing Shan silently praised it.
“Then can you tell me what happened in Huang Quan?” he asked.
“Of course, use your inner sight to communicate with me, I will show you what happened just a few days ago”
“Thank you”
Gu Qing Shan infused the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook with his inner sight.
A few moments later, a fine layer of cold sweat formed and every hair on his body stood up.
Endless cries of pain suddenly rushed to his mind.
A scene slowly unfolded.
Above the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, clusters of brilliant light hovered.
Occasionally, a 7-colored light would suddenly be shot and collide with the clusters of light.
At this very moment, two of them were hit.
The cluster of light crashed onto the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, revealing the main bodies inside before turning to ash.
Gu Qing Shan forced his eyes open to see their majestic figures as the brilliant light around their bodies went away.
They were the Divinities of Huang Quan.
Their expressions showed clearly, extreme pain before they thoroughly died.
At another far corner of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
A ludicrous amount of demons crawled all over the mountain, silently waiting for the Divinities to arrive.
Between the Divinity and the demons, there was only the barren mountainside.
A single Demon Lord climbed up the mountain.
As it moved towards the Huang Quan Divinities, no creature on either side dared to get close to it.
Roar!
With each step forward, the Demon Lord roared desperately.
The Demon Lord was holding a spear.
As Gu Qing Shan observed the spear, his expression turned grim.
This was a gigantic spear, so large that the Demon Lord had to use both hands just to hold it up.
From the Demon Lord’s expression, not only was this spear heavy, it also carried a strange power.
The spear was constantly releasing a 7-colored light that illuminated the space around it.
But the Demon Lord was roaring in pain.
Gu Qing Shan looked closer.
Although the light it let out was blinding, the body of the spear itself was very easy to see.
Countless obscure and intricate runes were scribed on the shaft of the spear, letting out an air of absolute domination.
As if it was natural that anything and everything should kneel before this spear.
A shining gold talisman was stuck on the shaft of the spear.
The talisman was also letting out a golden glow of its own, neatly covering the spear.
Even the 7-colored light from the spear was being held back by this golden glow, only occasionally would there be a streak of light that escaped and striked the Divinities on the mountain.
Any Divinity that was hit would instantly die.
As Gu Qing Shan watched the scene unfold, his mind quickly moved.
From his experience and knowledge of his two lives combined, this spear doesn’t seem to be a weapon of the demon’s.
The Demon Lord couldn’t move forward for too long.
Some of the Divinities on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain tried jumping out to attack the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord quickly reacted and peeled the golden talisman from the spear.
In an instant, the released 7-colored lights scattered all around.
Before these streaks of light, none of the Divinities managed to resist at all and dropped like flies.
The demon army behind also lost a few ten thousand troops.
Even the Demon Lord that was carrying the 7-colored spear fell down.
Pieces of flesh rotted off and fell down from its body.
By simply peeling the golden talisman off, the Demon Lord that used the spear was already unable to take it.
Its entire body was collapsing.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression warped!
Simply peeling off the golden talisman slaughtered both the Divinity and demonic god, as well as creating a casualty of a few ten thousand demons that happened to be caught in range.
This was terrifying.
A few large Demon Lords rushed out from the horde of demons.
On the way, a few Demon Lords were shot at and killed instantly by the 7-colored light.
Only the very last Demon Lord luckily escaped death.
When it finally reached, it hurriedly placed the golden talisman back onto the 7-colored spear.
Just as quickly as they came, scattering 7-colored light disappeared again.
It was once more tightly wrapped with the golden talisman.
The new Demon Lord picked up the 7-colored light again and kept moving towards the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
Behind it, the original Demon Lord that was carrying the spear collapsed, turning into a river of blood that flowed towards the Forgetting River.
After ‘using’ the spear a single time, a Demon Lord died.
The new Demon Lord carried the spear forward another two steps.
The Divinities on the mountain created a white light that filled the sky.
The white light shot at the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord immediately peeled the golden talisman off and aimed it at the white light.
Chiiiiii!
Sharp 7-colored streaks of light erupted from the spear again.
The white light was destroyed.
On the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, every Divinity that faced the spear head on died one after another.
Which was then followed by the death of the Demon Lord that used the spear.
Far away behind the Demon Lord, a few ten thousand more demons were unfortunately struck and killed by the 7-colored streaks of light that came.
Blood flowed like a river!
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed: “Indiscriminate attacks!”
Just as the Demon Lord fell down, a few more came running out.
One Demon Lord managed to grab the golden talisman, stuck it to the spear and kept moving forward with it.
The Demon Lord that fell was now already dead.
Gu Qing Shan frowned.
This was too far out of his imagination.
Attacking without discriminating friend and foe, capable of killing demons and gods from a distance.
What kind of weapon is this!!
The Demon Lords kept moving towards the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
This time, no Divinities tried attacking it.
But as it walked, its steps started to waver.
Not too long after, it knelt down.
Despite being held back by the golden talisman, this 7-colored spear still managed to kill the Demon Lord slowly but surely.
What unbelievable power!
A Demon Lord with overwhelming power exuding from its body came forward.
This Demon Lord took the spear and kept heading towards the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The Demon Lord that knelt on the ground quickly died.
The Divinities were now retreating towards the higher end of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
But only more and more Demon Lords came forward, replacing the last Demon Lord that fell down and kept on pursuing.
After over a hundred Demon Lords had died, the Divinities finally had nowhere left to run.
Paying such a heavy price, it was finally time for the demons to reap their harvest.
