Chapter 1722 – Tomb of the Samsara War General
Translator: La0o9
The dark tunnel was already behind him.
The exit was right ahead.
As Gu Qing Shan walked forward, he found himself standing in front of a cave entrance.
There was a graveyard right in front of him with gravestones located closely by one another.
He needed to walk through the graveyard and follow a small path before he could finally reach the actual palace array.
The sky was gloomy.
There wasn’t a single soul here.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and continued heading through the graveyard.
While proceeding forward, he glanced at the numerous gravestones.
Only to see that the tombstones were engraved with strange and unfamiliar letters, none of which did he recognize.
—–like this, he wouldn’t be able to know who or what was buried underneath these graves.
Very strangely, every time he looked towards one of the gravestones, the sound of knocking could be heard coming from beneath.
「 Summon me 」
A voice rang out from inside Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
As his vision scanned across the numerous gravestones, the sound of knocking became increasingly more rapid:
「 Summon me 」
「 Summon me 」
「 Summon me 」
「 … 」
Chilling voices echoed in Gu Qing Shan’s mind as if countless dead people were trying to climb out from under their graves.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
It seems these guys need living people to summon them in order to appear.
—–I’m not actually going to summon any of them, so what do I have to be afraid of?
Gu Qing Shan turned his vision away and quickly made his way through the graveyard.
Time slowly passed.
He quickly arrived at the center of the graveyard.
Here, there was a huge grave the size of a small mountain.
Gu Qing Shan originally didn’t have any intentions of stopping, but he happened to see the text engraved on the tombstone.
—–it was engraved in human common language:
[Here lies the Samsara War General]
Gu Qing Shan stopped right away.
War General.
That Title sounds strangely similar to [War Shaman].
Wait a minute!
I only managed to inherit [Ethereal] after triumphing against the Samsara War Shaman in the Great Tomb.
So what’s up with this Samsara War General?
Why is this tomb still here?
——the Samsara has clearly been reset already!
Numerous thoughts raced through Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
He thought back to the snake monster that was trapped outside, the five-headed monster in the sky, as well as the wrecked wrought iron giant—–
It was a [Human realm creation]!
Everything had started to piece together to form a great mystery.
This mystery was so crucial that the Samsara had to utilize this place as a trial for Chosen Saints.
What exactly… had happened…
Gu Qing Shan had practically forgotten where he was, falling deep into his thoughts.
[Summon me]
Suddenly, a voice coldly called out in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
Gu Qing Shan became hesitant.
On one hand, he really wanted to know the secrets involved here; but on the other hand, he also understood the eeriness of the situation.
After a moment of hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan put up his hands and bowed towards the mountain-like tomb.
“Hi, my name is Gu Qing Shan”
The sound of knocking could then be heard coming from inside the tomb, causing the ground below to also tremble.
[Gu Qing Shan, hurry and summon me, then I will fulfill all of your desires]
The cold voice said.
“Ah, I don’t mind doing that at all, but I want to ask you one thing first” Gu Qing Shan replied.
All the engraved words on the tomb disappeared, but new words began to appear.
[Samsara Contract]
[The Samsara War General will answer Gu Qing Shan’s question, Gu Qing Shan will summon the Samsara War General into the present]
[Violators will have their bodies and souls destroyed]
After Gu Qing Shan skimmed through the new engravings, the cold voice spoke: [Seal the contract with your fingerprints then I will answer your inquiry]
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan happily pressed his finger on the tombstone.
The cold voice spoke: [Very well, you may make your inquiry]
“After the Samsara resets, all the Chosen Saints had their powers sealed away and are currently settling the chaos of the Five Elements, so why are there still tombs that entrap existences like yourself?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The cold voice answered: [During the Samsara’s re-fusion, the Great Tomb within the Beast King realm contained an uncountable number of unrivaled Apocalypses. As the Samsara could not immediately get rid of them all, it could only temporarily quarantine them inside various Phase Realms]
Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Indeed, when the shattered Delimitation Divine Sword was stolen by the Wraith realm, the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts as well as the Space Vortex itself was under the threat of destruction by the countless Apocalypses.
At the time, I had to summon help from numerous parallel worlds in order to temporarily suppress the Great Tomb.
I didn’t consider that the Samsara fusing together would completely release all the Apocalypses inside the Great Tomb!
Who would be able to resolve that!?
[Very well, hurry up and release me, otherwise you will suffer the torture of having your soul burned away by the Samsara Contract] the cold voice spoke.
“Wait a minute, I was asking you why you were being trapped here” Gu Qing Shan said again.
The cold voice paused, then answered with impatience: [After such a long time, I’ve already become one with the Apocalypse, the Samsara couldn’t risk releasing me!]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “So that was the reason”
He suddenly felt an imminent sense of danger.
The contract on the tombstone began to glow intensely like it was ready to trigger at any moment.
Gu Qing Shan immediately declared: “Samsara War General, I summon you!”
——boom!!!
The tombstone immediately cracked open to release a shadow that shot into the sky before diving down towards Gu Qing Shan at full power.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
Suddenly, lines of bloody red text appeared in front of him:
[The other party was too powerful]
[Your Red Dragon Origin Hex was halfway broken through by the other party]
[You and your opponent are both under attack from their Samsara Divine Skill: ?????]
[You both will suffer imminent mutual death!]
Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.
After so long, this was the first time that someone had been able to break through a Dragon Hex with their sheer power.
That shows just how powerful he really is!
Gu Qing Shan immediately shouted: “Fool! You’ve triggered my defensive treasure tool! Hurry and retreat or both of us will die!”
The shadow in the sky had also recognized that it was on a path of mutual destruction with the mortal below and hysterically shouted: [NO! I refuse to accept this! I spent so——]
Gu Qing Shan grumbled: “I don’t know what you’re doing. You want to escape, while I only want to obtain more information, how about you go back in and answer another question from me? We’ll sign another contract and I’ll summon you again!”
“HURRY UP! I don’t want to die with you here, and I’m sure you don’t want to die such a meaningless death either!” he impatiently shouted.
The shadow naturally didn’t want to die, so it had no other choice as it gritted its teeth: [Very well!]
In an instant, the shadow vanished all at once.
The tomb closed back up.
His surroundings became silent and returned to how it was before.
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
That was too dangerous!
I was relying on Red Dragon Origin Hex, but a portion of the Dragon Hex was bypassed.
——the other party’s level of strength would only be comparable to the Samsara War Shaman that I had met in the past.
While he was thinking, the sound of knocking emerged from below the tomb once again.
The cold voice echoed in his mind again:
[Very well, let us do this again—— no matter what kind of information you wish to know, I can give it to you, but you need to release me]
As it spoke, a new Samsara Contract appeared on the tombstone.
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through it.
Then.
He turned around.
And walked past the tomb.
He had left.
The cold voice continuously echoed in his mind:
[Hey, where are you going?]
[Why did you leave? Don’t you need information?]
[You said we’d redo this!]
[Come back here!]
[Come back, I can grant you more treasures! Secrets with more value!]
[…]
Gu Qing Shan silently listened without answering.
He quickly walked past the entire graveyard and arrived at the small path leading outside.
A sense of eerie silence was draped over this path.
This was sheer horror being mixed within the atmosphere.
Gu Qing Shan simply walked forward without looking around, up until he saw a woman with a bloated stomach.
『 I’m hungry… so hungry… 』
The woman was sitting on top of a corpse, ferociously gnawing on the corpse’s arm.
She was sitting in the middle of the path, her mouth soaked full of blood from what she was eating.
Seeing the woman, Gu Qing Shan’s tense mind slowly calmed back down.
This tone, it should be a product of the Palace of Fear.
The Samsara War General was significantly stronger compared to the Fear Apocalypse!
——-and was much more terrifying!
Before I regain my strength, it’s best that I don’t come into contact with those people again.
One day, when I’m strong enough, I’d be able to go back and have a proper talk with it.
While lost in thought, Gu Qing Shan continued walking down the path.
He arrived in front of the woman.
『 Young man, would you like some as well? It tastes very good 』the woman offered him a piece of human bone, her face still smeared with blood.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and looked at the other party.
“Sister, you’re pregnant right?” he asked.
The woman was a bit stunned, but still nodded.
Gu Qing Shan earnestly told her: “——–one needs a lot of nutrients during pregnancy, so I won’t take your food from you”
“Slowly enjoy yourself”
He stood up, patted her shoulder, then quickly proceeded forward again.
The woman was shocked, then suddenly called out grudgefully:
『 Did you think this was the Fear Apocalypse? 』
『 It wouldn’t be until you’ve truly entered the palace, only then would everything officially begin! 』
『 Go ahead, go face true fear and horror, I guarantee that you will regret it! 』
Gu Qing Shan didn’t turn again and just put up one hand to wave: “Call me when you finally give birth, I’ll send a gift”
He walked down the small path, moving forward on the stone material step by step.
The Apocalyptic palace was right in front of him.
Suddenly, a confused voice echoed in his mind:
「 Ah… these Apocalypses… and the War General… have we returned to the Great Tomb? 」
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This is an unfamiliar voice, I’m sure I’ve never heard it before.
Who——
Suddenly, a few lines of bloody red text rapidly appeared in the void of space:
[Attention!]
[The Delimitation Divine Sword’s spirit has awoken!]
[Special note:]
[All of your sword techniques and abilities have been sealed by the Samsara]
[But you can still carry two things without issues]
[The first is your incomplete Title Quest: Void War God]
[The second are the fragments of the Delimitation Divine Sword]
