Chapter 1739 The Heavenly Emperor’s capabilities!
The frost giant hovered in mid-air, silently exuding an overwhelming chilling presence.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit unsure and cautiously asked: “Shroud, I have a question”
(Go ahead]
“Are you flying like this thanks to an ability?”[I am]
Gu Qing Shan rubbed his forehead and sighed: “A person can only retain one of their abilities after being summoned, so if you’ve chosen to keep your ability to fly, you won’t be able to use other abilities”
The frost giant chuckled arrogantly and replied: (That’s where you’re wrong. The ability I’m using to fly is called ‘Sowing Silence’. It is actually a type of Apocalypse, which by itself contains unlimited power and includes numerous auxiliary abilities, flight is merely one of them]
—–So that’s how it is.
That makes sense, considering how much more powerful Apocalypses are compared to living beings.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and pointed down the inner walls:
“My powers are currently sealed, so I can’t fight at my full strength right now, making me have to run away from an amalgam monster for a really long time—— it’s right below, probably still chasing me”The frost giant looked down towards the darkness and asked in a solemn tone: (The cooking ingredients kind of monster, or the kind that can’t be eaten?]
“From how it looked… you’ll probably get diarrhea if you ate it” Gu Qing Shan considered a bit before answering.
[Then there’s no point in holding back] the frost giant regretfully said: [I can sense its presence already… it’s going to arrive very soon, I’ll kill it as soon as it arrives!]
—-even if all the monsters of the void fused together, how could they compare to the frozen corpse?
Before the Age of Immemorial, a single drop of the frozen corpse managed to create all the Gods by itself!
Gu Qing Shan added: “Don’t kill it right away, leave it barely alive, I have something to ask”
[Ah, sure) the frost giant replied.
He thought briefly, then fully retracted his chilling presence so that not even a single bit leaked out.
The two of them silently waited.
Very quickly, the sound of climbing could be heard reverberating from the silent darkness of the inner walls.
A gigantic monster came into view.
From its body, one could tell that it was a fusion of numerous different kinds of monsters, as various organs and extremities stuck out from all over its body.
[Ah, what a nauseating creature) the frost giant spoke.
His voice reverberated throughout their surroundings, which was naturally heard by the monster.
The monster remained still on the towering inner walls and cautiously asked: “Who are you? How are you here?”
The frost giant originally wanted to act, but stopped as he heard the question, then tilted his head solemnly at exactly a 45 degrees angle: (Do you really think that a worthless nobody like yourself deserves to hear my name and background?]
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
The monster: “…”
It was deathly silent for several seconds.
“No matter who you are, it’s time for you to die!” the monster roared.
Dozens of techniques shot out from its body towards the frost giant.
The frost giant spoke in a nonchalant tone: [Your power and mine are on completely different multitudes]
Boom!
Endless chill radiated from the frost giant’s body.
As the attacks came into contact with the chilling air, they were all frozen in mid-air without being able to move a single bit further.
Layers upon layers of white frost began to climb along the path of the attacks, which quickly reached the monster and completely froze it solid.
The monster had been completely immobilized.
“What kind of technique is that!? How could it be so powerful!?” the monster shouted in disbelief.
The frost giant didn’t answer.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Step by step, he approached the monster and grabbed a large part of its body, casually ripping it away before crushing it in his hand.
Cruuk!
The detached body part was crushed into a fine powder, which the frost giant indifferently released into the darkness below.
The monster roared once again:
“WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU!? HOW COULD YOU HAVE SUCH POWER!”
The frost giant just chuckled.
He grabbed a spear of ice from the void of space, raised it into the air, and then abruptly thrust it downwards!
Bam!
The giant monster was pierced by the spear and solidly pinned onto the inner walls.
“ARRGGH——- I made a mistake, I shouldn’t have tried to kill the successor of the Wraith realm! I beg you, forgive me!”
The monster screamed in pain.
(Stop with your nonsense, now answer the questions, or things aren’t going to be quite as simple) the frost giant coldly spoke.
He raised his other hand and lifted Gu Qing Shan in front of the monster.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and asked: “Alright, now back to my question, how do you know my junior sister and senior brother’s appearances, as well as being able to imitate their voices?”
The monster was currently frozen solid on the wall, then pinned to it with an ice spear, so it didn’t dare to try anything.
“It… it was a heavenly being who came from above… he gave me a jade tag… that explained the background of the Wraith realm’s successor…” the monster explained.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned stiff.
So the Heaven realm has already begun to try placing their hands on the disciples of Bai Hua sect?
This indicates that Shifu isn’t under the Heaven realm’s restraints.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be doing something so redundant.
“Do you know who that heavenly being was?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I don’t, he merely said that he’s acting on orders of the Heavenly Emperor and gave me a proposition” the monster explained.
“Go on” Gu Qing Shan said.
“He said that as long as I kill the Wraith realm’s successor and hand his head to the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace would help me truly integrate into the Samsara, thus obtaining a Samsara Deific position” the monster said.
“…And you believed him just like that?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.
“I fought against him—- he was also a Chosen Saint whose strength had been sealed, but I still couldn’t win against him, so I had no choice but to listen to his offer” the monster replied.
Gu Qing Shan became focused upon hearing that.
—-currently, all the Chosen Saints have their strength sealed.
This void monster amalgamation should be extraordinarily powerful and is unbeatable within this Elements War Zone, but it still couldn’t win against that heavenly being.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a while and asked again: “When you used my brother and sister to try and deceive me into entering this place——- was that your idea, or did that heavenly being tell you how to set that trap
up?”
“He told me” the monster replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Before I entered the Elements War Zone, someone had already made all the preparations, meticulously planning every step so that as soon as I went near the Wraith realm’s shelter, I would fall into his trap.
Both his strength and wits should be quite considerable.
If their target was anyone else, they would be in a lot of trouble.
—–what kind of heavenly being could have been this difficult to handle?
Gu Qing Shan thought a bit further and suddenly said:
“That can’t be right! If he had been able to arrange such a trap, his entire plan couldn’t have consisted of this alone, there was surely something else, wasn’t there?”
The monster appeared hesitant to answer.
The frost giant asked: (Why do you think he would have something else arranged?]
Gu Qing Shan replied: “There was a flaw in his plan, which is what would happen in case I manage to escape all of his preparations”
[If you managed to escape all his preparations… then you would have already entered the Wraith realm’s shelter] the frost giant replied.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes were completely clear as he continued:
“That’s exactly the case—— that heavenly being would definitely have noticed such an obvious flaw, he must have made some other sort of preparation to guarantee that nothing goes awry——– if it was me, I would have done the same”
The frost giant chuckled happily and grabbed the icicle spear, heavily twisting it a few times.
“AARGGH! I’LL TALK! I’LL TALK!” the monster was unable to endure the pain, in addition to the fact that the other party had already been able to make the guess, so it cried out begging for forgiveness. [Talk] the frost giant ordered.
“That heavenly being said—– no matter what happens, the successor of the Wraith realm’s goal would be to enter the shelter” The monster breathed heavily and continued: “He told me not to follow him and flew by himself to the entrance of the shelter, I have no idea what he did here”
Gu Qing Shan and the frost giant exchanged glances.
(That’s the entrance to the shelter up there?] the giant asked.
“It is” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The frost giant looked up.
Only to see an alluring sea of stars surrounding a dark void.
A single lotus hovered in the middle of the empty void constantly radiating a blinding colorful light.
(So you haven’t directly entered the shelter yet?] the frost giant asked.
“Hm, this monster knows a lot of things, so I felt uneasy and decided to eliminate this monster first before entering the shelter” Gu Qing Shan replied.
(Someone like you felt uneasy…) the frost giant pondered.
He raised his hand and tapped the entrance to the shelter with his finger from afar.
A circle of cold air was sent forward, which turned into a white cloud of chilling mist that touched the empty void.
The empty void began to give off fluctuations that spread in every direction.
——–as if something had just been triggered.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Shroud, can you conceal all of us?”
[Easy as cake] the frost giant replied.
He then muttered: (Phase of the Silent Apocalypse!)
In an instant, an invisible barrier spread out between the two of them as well as the monster and covered them all.
They were all looking outside.
Very quickly, something could be felt at the entrance of the shelter.
As space fluctuated, countless heavenly lights descended from out of nowhere and stood around the entrance.
Heavenly beings appeared one after another.
This continued for about 5 minutes, filling up the entirety of the empty void.
Taking a general count, Gu Qing Shan found that there were more than a thousand heavenly beings gathered here.
(So many people, tsk tsk, they sure think highly of you] Shroud commented.
“This formation here was probably prepared to correspond to the void monster. After all, if I manage to make it here, I could have either snuck here or fought and won against the void monster” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Not leaving you even a small hope for survival huh] Shroud muses.
“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied. As soon as the heavenly beings arrived, they instantly began to assume a battle formation.
Gathering around the entrance of the shelter, they were all clearly ready to intercept any enemies.
“Where is that void monster?” one of the heavenly beings asked.
“Nowhere to be seen, but the transportation formation has been triggered, so the Wraith realm’s successor must have already entered” another heavenly being replied.
“Tsk, that void monster was truly useless, wasting the efforts of his majesty who came here to arrange it himself” another heavenly being commented.
The first heavenly being continued: “You can’t say that either. If he managed to defeat that void monster, he might be able to obtain something from the shelter of the Wraith realm as well…”
“Regardless of what he obtains, his majesty has already anticipated it, as soon as he leaves——-
As they said this, the colorful light from the empty void became even brighter.
A heavenly official appeared from the void, waving a small colorful flag and shouted: “Stop your chatter, I want this entire space filled with every kind of trap there is. As soon as Gu Qing Shan comes out of that place, I want him dead on the spot!”
“Yes sir!” the heavenly beings all responded in unison.
Gu Qing Shan and Shroud were still hidden nearby and exchanged glances.
——-that was very dangerous!
If Gu Qing Shan hadn’t wanted to deal with the void monster first and instead chose to enter the shelter——-
Then he would have had to face over a thousand heavenly beings at the same time as soon as he left.
If that happened, he wouldn’t have been able to escape no matter what kind of capabilities he had!
No one would have been able to!
“…So it was this kind of consecutive measure, but they didn’t know that you were here” Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
[And that’s why they’re going cold) the frost giant shrugged.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something else, he turned toward the void of space.
Lines of bloody red text had appeared:
[Attention!)
[By analysis of the current situation, the Title of ‘Pure Love Gang’ will soon be known across the entire Samsara]
[The relevant details are as follows :]
(Title: Pure Love Gang]
(Title Skill: Going Cold[1]]
[The potency of the Title Skill will be determined through your upcoming battle]
(Make it imperious!)
[1] This is a play on words from the author, as ‘going cold’ can also mean ‘to die’, making the name of the skill very ambiguous
