In the sky.

Powerful attacks were concentrated in the same area, pushing Gu Qing Shan making him unable to dodge at all.

A combination attack of 60 top-tier Professionists is impossible for anyone to block, even someone like Gu Qing Shan would die receiving that.

Gu Qing Shan stood still in the air without moving.

“Die” the Emperor squinted his eyes and muttered.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan disappeared.

One of the cloned Professionists appeared in his place.

The man was shocked.

In front of him was a bouquet of blinding light.

“No…”

He only managed to say a single word.

The glorious light enveloped him.

The combined power of 60 people utterly destroyed him without leaving even a single scrap left.

On the other side, Gu Qing Shan appeared.

The Earth Sword flashed and easily took off another clone’s head.

“Go”

Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The Earth Sword flew up.

A loud “pop” resounded.

Another clone’s head was pierced through and exploded, blood and brain matter scattered everywhere.

Seeing Gu Qing Shan let go of the Earth Sword, ten more attacks were directed at him.

Seemingly without any intention to dodge, Gu Qing Shan used the Chao Yin Sword to behead another clone.

As the 10 attacks almost reached him.

——–boom!

The attacks hit!

The impact shook created shockwaves that shook the air.

But the one who died was another clone who was attacking.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared where the clone originally stood.

The Emperor’s heart sank and angrily shouted: “Be careful, he has a God’s Chosen Skill to switch places with another!”

They finally realized.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared again and reappeared behind another clone.

——-this time, he didn’t change places with anyone.

[Ground Shrink]!

Slash!

With a single slash, his victim was dead.

As soon as he died, Gu Qing Shan’s figure disappeared once again.

At this moment, he was an Ascended realm cultivator, even in the cultivation world, he’s a figure to be respected.

The spirit energy reserve of Ascended realm is more than enough for Gu Qing Shan to use his skills as he likes.

In the air, a golden glow keeps appearing and disappearing nonstop.

The Professionist clones were easily behead one by one, dropping like flies from the sky.

The Emperor couldn’t believe his eyes at all.

From the start, Gu Qing Shan has only done two things.

Suddenly appearing.

Casually swinging his sword.

No one could stop him.

It feels like he was an ancient golden armored god, harvesting the lives of mortal with his sword.

Notifications were popping up on the War God UI.

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]

…

“Stop using spells, get into close combat! Rush him!” the Emperor gritted his teeth and shouted.

The Professionists all rushed at him.

Gu Qing Shan flew backwards.

The Chao Yin Sword slipped from his hand.

Streaks of light as bright as starlight manifested into strings, slicing through both the air and the Professionists in pursuit.

Divine Art, [Silver Star]

“This… what power is this, I’ve never seen such a technique before” a Professionist shouted in horror.

Thin strings of blood appeared and spreads through his body, ending his horror.

Gu Qing Shan’s hand seal didn’t stop.

The Earth Sword was also flying through the air, quickly harvesting life and life.

No matter how strong a Professionist was, they couldn’t take more than one strike from the Earth Sword.

As half of the Professionists in the sky were killed, no one has managed to even scratch Gu Qing Shan.

Even clones couldn’t help but be frightened.

They shouted in fear, scattering to get away.

But the flying swords were faster than they were.

After a few moments, all the clones had already been killed.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan turned back to look at the Fuxi Emperor.

The Fuxi Emperor held down his emotions, stared at Gu Qing Shan and suddenly asked: “What is the relationship between you and the Holy Pope?”

“Why do you ask?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit unexpected.

“I’ve always thought that the Pope is the only unimaginable existence on this world, who knew there would be another”

The Emperor slowly spoke: “Your actions, your battle techniques, all of it is completely different from ours, completely indecipherable”

“The Pope…”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered how the Pope was completely gone from the human realm at the final moment of the Apocalypse.

Impartial Goddess’ voice came to interrupt his thoughts.

[Sir, please conclude the battle quickly, the two armies have already met a second ago]

“Very well!” Gu Qing Shan said.

He formed a hand seal.

The Earth Sword and Chao Yin Sword both came back, floating next to time.

Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: “Your Majesty, one last chance, surrender”

“It’s a pity, my clones weren’t as perfect as I wanted” the Fuxi Emperor sighed.

Gu Qing Shan answered: “Battles are won from experience, even if the clone’s powers are perfectly replicated, without hundreds of battles, how would they ever make use of such power?”

The Fuxi Emperor said nothing.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Now please order the Fuxi Empire’s military to retreat, Your Majesty”

The Fuxi Emperor suddenly broke into laughter.

“Fool” he shook his head, “There’s already no going back for this world”

“There is no going back for the world, but we can turn it to head for a better future, not towards destruction” Gu Qing Shan said.

“A better future for me, is one where the Empire rules over the world!” the Emperor shouted.

A thin mist began to emit from his body.

The mist covered him, forming a light fog, then concentrated to an ice jewel.

The Emperor took it in hand and clenched it.

The Emperor’s voice becomes very low: “You are very strong, but once I turn into a dead person, you won’t be able to kill me”

When he said so, he saw a look of pity on Gu Qing Shan’s face as he sighed.

A piercing pain.

The Earth Sword had pierced through the Emperor’s heart, then returned to Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth Sword swung itself and got rid of the dripping blood on its blade, the blood blew away by the cold wind to places unknown.

“Hurk…”

The Emperor held his chest and looked at the hole gorged out by the sword.

He suddenly burst into a frenzied laughter: “Ahahaha! You’re too late, I’ve already called for my Ancestor, I’ll gain an undying body very soon!”

The mist around him began to form a block of ice in front of him.

The Emperor took the block of ice and shoved it into his mouth.

“This is the Heart of Ice, from now on, as long as I touch any ice that belongs to the Frozen Hell, I’ll be able to regenerate any wounds”

The Emperor smirked triumphantly at Gu Qing Shan.

He now has a literal cold heart.

“You’re actively turning yourself into a dead person” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.

“That’s right, next is your turn to think” the Emperor slowly replied, “———-how are you going to kill an unkillable dead person?”

His voice stopped.

The ice from the Emperor’s chest started spreading, freezing himself into a giant ice cube.

He was trapped inside the block of ice with only his head out, unable to move at all.

The Emperor looked around, his eyes contained a bit of bewilderment and confusion.

——-this is completely different from what I thought.

Inside this block of ice, his life is temporarily preserved.

The ice that trapped the Emperor was somehow able to float in midair without any support.

Seeing such an eerie sight, Gu Qing Shan was also a bit shocked.

Regardless, war has broken out, so the Fuxi Emperor must die right now!

Gu Qing Shan held the Earth Sword, about to come up to finish him off.

As he moved, he suddenly stopped himself.

Because he had a bad premonition.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Something unseen seems to be coming here.

More mist began to flow from the block of ice.

This mist was a bit grey and spreads quickly across the sky.

Almost instantly, the mist has formed a river in midair, drifting in front of Gu Qing Shan’s sight.

Anyone who saw this river felt a sense of dread and despair, as if some sort of irresistible disaster is about to occur.

“The Forgetting River… no, it’s much weaker than that…” Gu Qing Shan observed it and whispered to himself.

The river seems almost sentient as it flowed towards where Gu Qing Shan was.

Gu Qing Shan put up his guard.

He’s been through many battles, but not once has he had to fight a river.

While it was a few dozen meters away, the river suddenly turned into a giant wave, crashing down on Gu Qing Shan.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking of how to deal with it, the Chao Yin Sword suddenly flew into his hand. historical

The Chao Yin Sword was lightly shaking non stop, as if trying to say something.

A notification popped up on the War God UI.

[The Chao Yin Sword is requesting usage of your Soul Points. Requested amount: 10]

[Would you like to allow it to use your Soul Points?]

Soul Points, also called Divine Power. The Wild Flame Raging Armor used it once before, the Tianma Empress also used it before, it was some sort of power of origin, which Gu Qing Shan himself has been using to quickly rush through the levels.

Who knew that the Chao Yin Sword after being repaired also wanted to use Soul Points.

While Gu Qing Shan was surprised, he was also a bit expectant and replied: “I’ll allow it”

The War God UI popped up a message: [Soul Points spent]

An invisible wind drifted from Gu Qing Shan and was absorbed into the Chao Yin Sword.

Chao Yin Sword let out an echoing ring, then quickly stopped.

Hearing this ring, the river almost seemed afraid and suddenly changed.

The flowing river suddenly spit apart as it flowed past Gu Qing Shan.

The rushing current was avoiding him, flowing to either sides before joining again.

While standing there, not a single drop of water got on Gu Qing Shan.

“Could it be, ‘Even a sea of pain will pass’ is the ability to control water? …No, that river just now wasn’t just normal Elemental Water…” Gu Qing Shan contemplated.

From the void of space, a hoarse voice whispered.

「 Hm… now intriguing, a power that forbids me from getting close… 」 following the advent of this voice, the air began to chill intensely.

Hearing this voice, the Fuxi Emperor appeared a bit more relaxed.

“Honorable Ancestor, you’ve finally come” the Emperor said.

Behind the Fuxi Emperor, a throne made completely from ice appeared from the air.

On the chilling frozen throne, a skeleton sat.

A thick baggy cloak covered his body, only leaving a dried up skull out in the open.

On the skull was an ice crown, in the skeleton’s hand was a long sword that emitted some sort of grey essence.

The skeleton opened its mouth and spoke with a low, hoarse voice: 「 Emperor, it seems your entire plan has failed 」

“Ancestor, this person is very strange, all of my men weren’t able to defeat him” the Fuxi Emperor explained.

「 You have failed 」 the black cloaked skeleton said again, 「 do you know what it means, for an Emperor of a nation to fail? 」

“Ancestor, please give me another chance, as long as I can convert to become a dead person, I will definitely not forgive him” the Fuxi Emperor said.

The black cloaked skeleton calmly said: 「 Perhaps you didn’t hear what I said? Let me repeat it for you 」

「 You 」

「 Have 」

「 Already 」

「 Failed 」

The Fuxi Emperor was stuck in the ice, not knowing what to do.

He has never tried to butter up to anyone his entire life, so he couldn’t say a single thing when faced with such a situation.

The black cloaked skeleton leaned forward, staring at the Emperor: 「 At the time of a nation’s destruction, the Emperor should at least be the very last person to surrender, yet you’ve already surpassed the borders of nations and became the first traitor to humanity as a whole. This if your failure as a human 」

The Fuxi Emperor was stunned.

This was exactly what Gu Qing Shan said earlier.

The black cloaked skeleton continued: 「 It’s fine that you’ve defected, but you’ve ruined everything as well 」

「 As a monarch, you betrayed your own nation, your own world 」

「 As a defector, you’ve used up all the chips in your hands, but didn’t manage to give me a single thing in return 」

There was a deep sense of disgust in the black cloaked skeleton’s voice.

「 You don’t deserve the Heart of Ice 」

「 And as a failure, the best way for you to atone for your crimes, is to become a weapon like the rest of the useless Emperors before you 」the black cloaked skeleton declared.

The long sword emitting grey essence flashed.

As the Fuxi Emperor’s head rolled down, he still had an expression of disbelief.

Being enveloped by the ice, he has yet to lose his life.

The Emperor looked up at the black cloaked skeleton, finally begging: “I’m your descendant, Ancestor please!”

「 Descendant, hear me well 」 the black cloaked skeleton held the Fuxi Emperor’s head in hand, speaking: 「 Your actions have proven that you are not worthy to be the Emperor of Fuxi 」

「 If you are not an Emperor, then you are nothing but one of many worthless descendants of many generations that has nothing to do with me 」

Saying so, the black cloaked skeleton stood straight up, his head tilting backwards and inhaled deeply.

A transparent figure appeared from the Fuxi Emperor’s head, screaming, shouting in fright.

The transparent figure was then sucked into the black cloaked skeleton’s nose.

He appeared to be in ecstasy.

「 My own descendant’s souls are still the most powerful after all 」he moaned in pleasure.

In his hand, the Fuxi Emperor’s head had turned into a skull.

The resourceful and talented Fuxi Emperor, killed by his own ancestor just like that.

His soul itself was devoured, leaving nothing but a skull behind.
