Chapter 556: [Origin]’s invasion
Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader: Arya
It was now midnight.
The city was silent.
Two rigid corpses hugged each other tightly without moving.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t have the mind to look at the corpses.
Blocking in front of Laura, he was quickly moving his hands to operate the formation plate.
Layers upon layers of pretty lights scattered to the air as Gu Qing Shan’s Lightning-type spirit energy merged with the formation plate’s own and formed a formation.
The lights faded soon after they lit up, surrounding Gu Qing Shan and Laura, holding the terrifying monster off for the time being.
Gu Qing Shan looked up and carefully observed the large fiendish head, silently shocked.
“This formation was combined with my Lightning-type spirit energy and that ghost still wasn’t countered…”
He muttered.
The Grand Demon-Wraith Slaying Formation, requiring a total of 36 spirit stones to activate, was the highest level Ghost killing formation of the Suspended world.
Because of how powerful it was and how much spirit stones it consumed, Suspended world cultivators weren’t normally willing to use it.
But once it was used, any Ghosts or revenant caught inside could only lay down and die.
Furthermore, since the Lightning Element naturally has the Smiting property, when a Lightning-type cultivator arranges this, the power of this formation will become three-fold!
Gu Qing Shan was a Lightning-type cultivator, his spirit energy naturally has the Smiting property, and his formation standards were at the very top of the Suspended world.
Which meant that this particular anti-Ghost formation should be the strongest that had ever been used in known history!
But even such an impressive grand formation couldn’t stop this Ghost before them.
From the looks of it, it was only being angered by the Lightning Element of the formation as it became more fiendish and fierce. historical
Every time it attacked with its jaws, a layer of the formation would be ripped away.
36 layers of anti-Ghost formations wouldn’t hold out for long.
“Which one of you knows what this is?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
His three flying swords appeared behind him.
“Oong~?” Chao Yin sword said it didn’t know.
“It seemed a bit like one of the 808 hellspawns of Hell, but with a closer look, I’m sure there isn’t one that looks like this” Shannu observed the Ghost shortly before shaking her head.
The Earth sword answered: 「 This is an Entropy Ghost 」
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What’s an Entropy Ghost?” Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up.
“I know it” Laura’s face went pale as she answered: “It is an extremely rare Chaotic Demon Lord, its own strength isn’t great, but has a natural-born thaumaturgy to be able to go through all things, even the barrier of the Old Gods couldn’t block it out”
“An Entropy Ghost is chaotic and unpredictable, once it appears, it could easily determine the outcome of a war”
“Is there no way to fight against it?” Gu Qing Shan scowled.
“There isn’t. It can easily go through any weapons or attacks, making it almost invincible despite not having much attack power”
If it can go through any attacks…
Then even if the Dead Soul Demon King went against the Entropy Ghost, the one to win in the end will be the Entropy Ghost.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan felt his head almost blowing up.
Why does such a unique Demon Lord exist!
Laura sighed: “It’s fortunate that you have the formations of cultivation civilizations, being able to hold it off briefly”
While she spoke, she also searched around in her small backpack.
Gu Qing Shan could hear her muttering: “Let me find a teleport item, we have to escape now”
The Earth sword’s heavy voice suddenly called out: 「 There’s no need to run, Gu Qing Shan, you can use the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to kill it 」
“How do you know that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Me? Can I?” Shannu nervously chimed in.
The Earth sword’s voice carried a bit of a satisfied chuckle: 「 Shannu, you can break through any Law, this is a thaumaturgy even rarer than the Entropy Ghost’s ability to go through everything, which just happens to be able to break its invincibility and intangibility 」
「 It probably doesn’t know that it just happens to run into the only thing that can counter it in the infinite worlds right here 」
「 Originally, this monster should have an infinite lifespan, but today will be the day it dies 」
“Then I’ll give it a try” Shannu said.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword drew a perfect arc in the sky and fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
Holding the sword, Gu Qing Shan pointed it straight at the Entropy Ghost’s wide open mouth.
At this time, the Entropy Ghost had already broken through all the anti-Ghost formations, heading straight for them.
The sword phantoms glowed.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance].
Dong dong dong dong dong!
Consecutive explosions.
The shining sword phantoms exploded inside the Entropy Ghost’s mouth, disintegrating it.
Gu Qing Shan withdrew his sword.
He sighed and muses: “This type of Demon Lord can easily pass through this world’s protective ice layer and enter this place to destroy everything”
“Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be too many Entropy Ghosts” Laura said.
The Earth sword also said: 「 Indeed, this is an extremely rare Demon Lord, they will only ever appear in larger numbers at crucial and pivotal grand-scale wars 」
“Why does such a thing exist?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
「 Because it is a Demon Lord created by fusing countless hellspawns and Ghosts of Huang Quan, this process is extremely likely to fail, leading to a new one being very hard to make 」the Earth sword answered.
“So we’re safe for now”
Laura sighed in relief and said.
“No, I don’t think so” Gu Qing Shan scowled.
“This monster is the key to overcoming the barrier of the Gods…”
“Since [Origin] doesn’t have any other ways to get in, it can only use this type of unique Demon Lord”
Gu Qing Shan muttered as he kept going with his conjecture: “And since [Origin] is desperate to obtain something, if it finds out about that ‘something’ being in this world, [Origin] will definitely—–”
While speaking, Gu Qing Shan suddenly shut up.
Both he and Laura looked up to the sky.
Spots of golden light erupted in the dark sky.
The golden light quickly expanded, followed by countless golden runes that formed circular defensive barriers.
Something seemed to be triggering the Old God’s barrier.
Inside the largest circular defensive barrier, the figure of a large, terrifying fiendish head slowly appeared.
It was doing everything it could to plow downwards and pass through the Old God’s barrier.
It wanted to enter the world below!
Immediately after, a fiendish head appeared in every circular defensive barrier.
“Another Entropy Ghost! How could that be, why are there so many of them!?” Laura exclaimed in shock.
“It seems I was right”
Gu Qing Shan spoke as he quickly formed a plan.
Pfew!
The autumn-like blue Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew away in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, the sword jetted to the sky without resistance.
Gu Qing Shan reached out his hands and lightly formed a hand seal.
Secret Art, [Silver Star]
In the night sky, five shining strings appeared out of nowhere.
These were sword phantoms manifesting as strings, leaving a trace akin to that of a comet’s trail.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at these strings, Gu Qing Shan’s hands moved again.
Secret Art, [Silver Star].
Secret Art, [Silver Star].
Secret Art, [Silver Star].
He was performing one Secret Art after another without stopping.
With his cultivation at Sainted realm late stage that could easily breakthrough to Projection realm at any moment, this Secret Art was something he could perform without worrying about expenditures.
Where his sword flew, shining strings of stars were carved in the sky.
These string-like sword phantoms kept dashing forward, going towards the barrier in the sky and attacked the Entropy Ghosts one after another.
Roar!!!
Angered cries of pain and desperation echoed across the sky.
These Entropy Ghosts were truly unfortunate, as a rare type of Demon Lords, even the Old God’s barrier couldn’t stop them from invading.
——but they were currently at a pivotal moment in breaking through these barriers, unable to dodge or move out of the way.
They had no choice but to be hit by these Secret Arts.
And the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s anti-Law characteristic perfectly countered them.
In the sky, the circular golden barriers slowly disappeared.
All the Entropy Ghosts were dead.
The flying sword dashed through the sky, went above the cloud before free-falling down and stopping right next to Gu Qing Shan.
Seeing that, Laura’s eyes lit up and couldn’t help but say: “This sword, I want to—-”
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
Laura obediently changed the subject.
“This must have been a carefully coordinated attack, but it got countered so perfectly by you being here. The [Demon King Order] must be extremely unhappy”
“I don’t know what else it’s going to come up with, so let’s investigate this world a bit first” Gu Qing Shan said.
He already used formations as well as flying swords, creating quite a large commotion.
Wanting to carefully sneak around to investigate at this point in time was unrealistic.
Gu Qing Shan put Laura on his shoulder and lowered his stance, wanting to fly into the city.
But he couldn’t help but stop briefly.
Several lines of glowing text scrolled past the War God UI.
