Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1700: Uncovering the secret of the frozen corpse

Translator: La0o9

As the three-headed snake prepared to leave, it suddenly felt a sharp pain on its body.

Two figures appeared next to its body, both wielding a sword in their hands and unleashed over thousands of slashes in a split second.

「 Hisssss—– 」

The three heads of the snake each hissed in anger.

But it was unable to retaliate at all, as some sort of lightning-based power had been inflicted onto its body that caused it to lose control.

At that very moment, the blood moon that had gone away earlier instantly reappeared in the sky.

The old man and green-cloak man also reappeared.

「 How dare you! 」

「 You have a death wish! 」

Immense killing intent swiftly surged forward to envelope the two sword-swinging figures.

Both of them would be shattered in mere seconds if that were to hit!

But Gu Qing Shan and Shannu didn’t stop their barrage of attacks at all.

Gu Qing Shan shouted as he continued to swing his sword:

“Devil of True Antiquity—-“

Fwooooaam!!!!!

An unusual phenomenon immediately followed!

The sky turned into a deep shade of blue, putting everything around them into absolute stasis.

The wind had also stopped.

The three-headed snake, the old man, as well as the green-cloak man had all lost their ability to move, everything in this world was frozen in time.

「 Ten! 」

A profound deep voice echoed from the sky.

Only the blood moon continued to move around within the dark blue void.

「 WHO!? 」

「 WHO EXACTLY IS IT!? Directly descending upon my Grand Evil world like this, the entire Dusty World will not let this slide! 」

The blood moon angrily roared.

No one answered it.

Deep above the sky, the voice continued to count down:

「 Nine! 」

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu had both already sheathed their swords, an umbrella appeared behind and covered each of them.

The two of them vanished without a trace.

Blood-colored realm spirits then manifested one after another.

「 Eight! 」

The voice continued to echo.

The blood moon suddenly gave off a resounding howl and began to fly up towards the sky.

At the same time, numerous blood-colored realm spirits had already surrounded the three-headed snake.

The three-headed snake still couldn’t move at all.

「 Seize this chance and make it explode! 」the bloody giant shouted.

All the realm spirits acted at once——-

「 Seven! 」

The voice continued to count from far above the sky.

Boom——-

The blood moon fell down from above.

Visible shockwaves could be seen sweeping down from above, instantly blowing the entirety of Black City away.

The world was destroyed.

All the living beings had already been blown away somewhere, their survival now a complete mystery.

A deep chuckle was heard from above the sky:

「 Can’t blame me when you’re the one seeking death——- six! 」

As soon as that count was reached.

All the blood-colored spirits scattered.

The only thing left of the three-headed snake was a pulpy mass of flesh.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared once again in the middle, using his sword to stab the mass of pulpy flesh and flung it far above the sky.

The pulpy flesh faded away as it flew up.

「 Gahaha—— gasha—- gasha—— 」

A series of chewing noises resounded throughout the entire dark blue world.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

The scenery started to turn into a faint gust of wind that circled around Gu Qing Shan like a tornado.

The Overlooker of Myriad Realms’ voice could be heard in his mind:

「 The commotion this time was a bit much. I won’t be able to come out for food again for a while since I’m going to stay in hiding 」

「 You need to destroy those three world essence relics quickly 」

The third world essence relic fell down into Gu Qing Shan’s hand, which was a black badge.

「 Gu Qing Shan, those fellows from the depths of the Dusty World is about to arrive—— 」

「 You’re definitely no match for them, hurry up and run! 」

Hoh——-

The gust of wind flew away with violent noises.

Everything around him returns to normal.

Gu Qing Shan held onto Laura, retrieved his swords, then manifested white fog around his body.

“Where are we going?” Laura hurriedly asked.

“Even the Devil of True Antiquity had fled, so of course we need to run as well” Gu Qing Shan answered.

As he said that, immensely powerful presences could be felt appearing one by one.

「 Something is invading our Dusty World, hurry! Call for help! Summon the most powerful ones! 」someone called out.

“Indeed…” someone else responded.

『 War? 』

“Let’s gather our forces first”

A long war horn resounded.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already left with Laura.

…

The ruined world.

As soon as Gu Qing Shan appeared, he took out all three world essence relics without a pause.

“They’re going to realize something is amiss very soon, so we need to seize our time!”

Saying so, he took out the casting mold of the Key of the Wind.

As soon as the casting mold appeared, the statue, the badge, as well as the trumpet sensed it and started shaking.

They flew up and fell into the casting mold, each slowly melting into a liquid that poured itself into the mold.

The entire mold had now been filled with opaque liquid metal and started to give off a faint golden light.

The liquid metal visibly flowed along the mold to come into contact with the key body and fused with it into a solid piece.

—–it is now complete.

The key was now in three different colors, which were respectively a bronze handle, a black connective piece, a crimson and grey key body, and a light golden key head.

They were respectively the three coins, the Gloomy City’s evil Holy Relic, the Clock Tower world’s pocket watch, the ruined world’s pentagonal polyhedron, as well as the Grand Evil world’s three world essence relics.

A cracking noise could be heard.

The entire casting mold completely crumbled and turned into tiny particles that were scattered by the wind.

However, a complete Key of the Wind was done!

——this wasn’t just the Key of the Wind, but also the ‘Traveler’s Key’ that my parents left me!

With it, I would be able to open another Reality Gate and bring everyone away from this Boundless Void.

There would no longer be a need to fear the Apocalypse!

Everyone can survive!

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help himself from feeling a bit ecstatic, even with everything he’s been through.

A golden light emerged from inside Gu Qing Shan’s body.

The black Book of the Sea also appeared.

These two Pillar God Soul Artifacts continuously circled around the key, calling out in joy.

A line of text appeared on the Book of the Sea and was shown to Gu Qing Shan:

[The Key of the Wind’s soul has sensed the key’s physical form and is coming here]

Gu Qing Shan slightly nodded.

——–I’ve collected three of the Four Pillars!

This is naturally something to celebrate, but the most important thing is still the other half of the secret.

The frozen corpse’s secret!

While he was thinking that, the War God UI had already reacted.

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve obtained the complete Traveler’s Key]

[Attention, a sealing technique that surpasses your understanding has been undone]

[There is only one chance, you must listen to it carefully]

A mass of translucent light emerged from Gu Qing Shan’s chest and flew into Gu Qing Shan’s hand, stopping in front of the Traveler’s Key.

Gu Qing Shan immediately calmed his breathing and prepared himself.

Very quickly, the frozen corpse’s voice emerged from the translucent light:

[—–With the last of my power, I discovered an absolute ‘Effect’ among the numerous undetermined futures]

[At a certain point in the future, everything within the Reality Gate would no longer be salvageable]

[At the very moment that the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins, the Apocalyptic Envoys hidden among the six realms will also awaken]

[The Apocalyptic Envoys will summon 99 Apocalypse Sequences to directly break through the Reality Gate and destroy everything within]

[Because of this, if I can find the Traveler’s Key, I must flee this Reality Gate before the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins!]

[Do not stall, hurry up!]

[That true secret is hidden at the deepest depth of this world inside the Reality Gate]

[It is a different Reality Gate]

[That’s right, there are numerous Reality Gates within the void, but the reason why I had paid attention to this particular one was because of how powerful its guardian was]

[Not even I was a match for them!]

[For countless years, this Reality Gate had been under the influence of a unique power so that no one could approach or even take notice of it]

[But as I am an extremely unique Apocalypse, I managed to notice this nearly indiscernible minor detail within the infinite worlds of the Boundless Void]

[After much research, I managed to confirm that it was a perfect match for that shocking secret——]

[It is absolutely the rarest type of Reality Gate among all the Reality Gates, one that if someone could open, they would find…]

[A future without any Apocalypses, as well as a world that had never been seen before]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped.

The translucent light had already begun to grow dim.

The frozen corpse’s voice also gradually became weaker:

[The future I can see is very limited, but I will definitely not give up on this Reality Gate]

[My subconscious will persist]

[It will find that Reality Gate and put a secret marking on it at an appropriate time]

[The marking is a specific unique term among Apocalypse Sequences——]

[I will call it the ‘Eternal Abyss’]

[That Reality Gate will be at the very bottom of the Abyss, guarded by an unknown demonic creature that makes sure no one would be able to go past it]

[—–Even while sealed, I will do everything in my power and search for a solution through the countless years in hope or forging a powerful weapon that would be able to specially eliminate that demonic creature]

[In the future, that weapon will have the following title:]

[—–the Abyssal Soul Artifact, the main body of the Abyssal Weapon, Evil-warding weapon of the Bottomless Abyss, the Guardians against ultimate extinction, the Swords of Changing Fate, the Key to infinite worlds, the legendary twin swords: Heaven and Earth]
