Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 840: Once Again At Mahesvara Realm

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

The Fire Tribulation leads a cultivator’s soul vessel towards one of the many Heavenly realms.

The cultivator’s soul vessel must then return to their body within a certain amount of time.

After that time had passed, if their soul vessel still remained within the Heavenly realm without returning, the cultivator’s body would be burnt to a crisp by the Tribulation Fire.

Gu Qing Shan stood still waiting for a few moments.

The almost transparent flames appeared out of nowhere and completely engulfed him.

The endless fire spread in front of Gu Qing Shan to show the scene of another world.

“The Mahesvara realm” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Zhi Luo probably doesn’t expect me to once again return to the Mahesvara realm so quickly after I just left.

When I broke through to Void Wanderer realm, I was forced to leave the Mahesvara realm immediately after I passed the Fire Tribulation, so I didn’t have any time to consider Zhi Luo’s safety.

But she had already arrived at the Mahesvara realm and made many preparations since long ago.

On top of Clear Bright Peak, Zhi Luo created an Asura Palace, the path behind the palace led into a series of mazes within the mountain that hid countless traps and barriers.

Furthermore, Zhi Luo was originally an Asura, a female she might be, she still possessed overwhelming battle instincts and skills.

She herself also said that the reason she was able to arrive at the Mahesvara realm, obtain an entire mountain for herself, find that spring water that allowed me to easily pass the Fire Tribulation, as well as arranging all of her defensive mechanisms and means were because of how vast her Merit was.

The only thing to worry about now is that her own power was still too weak.

Gu Qing Shan took a step forward as he was thinking.

In an instant.

He entered the Mahesvara realm.

Voices came from all around.

The sound of people drinking, chatting voices, various noises within the plaza, exactly the same as how it was the last time Gu Qing Shan came here.

A voice came right next to Gu Qing Shan:

“Ahaha, today we have a new friend—-”

The voice abruptly stopped.

Very quickly, all the voices and sound within the plaza gradually disappeared.

All the cultivators here were looking at Gu Qing Shan.

“It’s him…”

“It’s that man, he came again”

“Strange…”

“This can’t be right, when we couldn’t catch him before, he should have already reached Void Wanderer realm, what is…”

The cultivators whispered among one another.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay any attention to these people, recalled where Zhi Luo’s mountain was, and prepared to fly in that direction.

He leapt to the sky and was about to leave.

But the cultivators stopped their discussions.

“You think you can freely leave as you like!?”

Someone shouted.

That cultivator was quite fast, he almost reached where Gu Qing Shan was in the air after just a split second.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t turn around.

700 flying swords poured out from his Thought Sea and unleashed their sword phantoms towards that cultivator.

Secret Art, [Water Severance]

The 700 overlapped [Water Severance] surged forward like a rain of swords with absolute power, the other cultivator couldn’t even react before he was erased from this world.

Boom

The explosion of sword phantoms continued across the sky, headed straight for the horizon.

The soul vessel was a cultivator who chose to stay within this Heavenly realm was eliminated, just like that.

“He killed our friend Wang!”

“Damn it, this bastard must die!”

“Let’s go!!!”

Many cultivators shouted from the plaza.

But the majority of the cultivators here didn’t dare to chase him.

These people stayed within this realm in order to escape from the hardship of cultivation and its impermanence, wanting to experience bliss for 10,000 years.

After one of their friends were killed so easily, everyone saw with their own eyes how terrifying this sword cultivator was.

Who would be willing to be the first one to charge at him and die?

About ten of the strongest cultivators gathered together.

“Seems like he really did break through to Void Wanderer realm”

“If that’s the case, there’s no need for the others to face him, numbers alone is meaningless”

“We’ll handle it from here”

“The rest of you should quickly inform the experts that haven’t found out about this”

They took flight and surrounded Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around.

Originally, he intended for that attack to scare these and prevent them from bugging him further, so he didn’t expect them to still want to stop him.

But these cultivators are indeed stronger than the other cultivators.

Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed the spirit energy waves these people gave off and slowly understood.

A cultivator had to face a total of three Fire Tribulations, in order they were, the Wind and Fire Double Tribulation of Void Beholder realm to Void Wanderer realm; the Water and Fire Double Tribulation of Void Wanderer realm to Void Revolution realm; and the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind Quad Tribulation of Void Revolution realm to Three Thousand Worlds realm.

In other words, those who stayed behind in the Mahesvara realm should include those at Void Beholder realm, Void Wanderer realm and Void Revolution realm.

As a sword cultivator, Gu Qing Shan’s strength in battle far surpassed even those of the same realm, so not many people would arbitrarily offend him.

This meant that these people who came to stop him must be at least the same realm as he was.

They were cultivators of at least Void Wanderer or Void Revolution realm!

If this is really true, the reason I managed to pass the Fire Tribulation so easily the last time was mostly because of Zhi Luo’s early preparations.

When she brought me away, none of them tried to stop us.

This alone proved that she had already obtained their trust and made the appropriate preparations.

Otherwise, I would have had to face an exceedingly tough battle at that time.

That would have been a true life-and-death Tribulation.

Gu Qing Shan sighed a bit emotionally.

But why do they insist on keeping me here?

All the cultivation scriptures he had mentioned the things one needed to prepare for during a Fire Tribulation, but there were simply too many Heavenly realms that a cultivator’s soul vessel could be led to that it couldn’t all be written down.

The Mahesvara realm was only one of countless Heavenly realms, not too many cultivators actually made it here, and even fewer successfully passed their Tribulation. Even if they did, very few actually had the time to study the secret of the Mahesvara realm before they were sent back.

It was already a great thing for them to return alive.

For this reason, there weren’t too many records relating to the Mahesvara realm within the cultivation scriptures he held, and most of the records he found didn’t sound particularly convincing.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around.

These people were only at most a single realm higher than I am, yet they dared to try and stop me…

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I’m very curious. We don’t know each other, and there shouldn’t be any grudge between us, why do you have to stop me from facing my Tribulation? Are you really so intent on stopping others from walking their paths?”

The other cultivator exchanged glances.

One of them laughed: “I can’t tell you that”

Another spoke: “Since you’re already here, stay, don’t force us to fight you”

“That’s right, fighting would make it hard to face one another, we’ll have at least another few thousand years to stay with each other here” a third person tried to convince him.

Gu Qing Shan just laughed.

“I think all of you haven’t understood a certain thing” he said.

“And what is that?” someone asked.

“Don’t block the path of a sword cultivator unless you’re prepared to die”

He vanished and suddenly reappeared right in front of a cultivator, swinging his sword downwards.

The cultivator’s expression twisted, but his hands weren’t slow.

A small shield appeared out of thin air to stop Gu Qing Shan’s sword.

Kih!

With a loud impact, the shield stopped his sword.

But right as the shield and sword clashed, a sword phantom abruptly manifested behind that cultivator and sliced him in half.

Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]

One strike, one dead.

Gu Qing Shan vanished again and reappeared in front of another cultivator.

But this cultivator reacted very quickly and immediately retreated several steps backward to leave the swords’ range of attack.

The cultivator sighed in relief and loudly told everyone else:

“Be careful, he knows a spatial-type movement techni—-!”

His voice was abruptly cut off.

Gu Qing Shan’s strike was still able to connect and killed the other party from a considerable distance.

Secret Art, [Life Seeker]

[When you are within 10 feet of an opponent, your sword attacks can hit them from a distance]

Still a single strike, still one person dead.

The other cultivators felt a chill running through their bodies.

The first person was a Void Wanderer realm cultivator, killed because he couldn’t react in time.

The second person was a Void Revolution realm cultivator, he managed to react, but was still killed.

None of their cultivations were any lower than this sword cultivator, but they couldn’t even block one strike from him!
