Chapter 1798: The Supreme Sequence’s [Entropy Solution]!
“You retained so many kinds of power secretly?”
Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
While talking, he also started to peel off the broken armor he was wearing.
——this was a mortal realm armor that the Heavenly Palace had prepared, although it was quite high-quality, it was still impossible for it to endure his battle with Ning Yue Chan just now.
The Sequence didn’t answer him and only gave a new notification message:
[I will temporarily hibernate, some time will be necessary to gather all the various powers and activate one function of the Supreme Sequence]
All the text then faded and disappeared from Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
—–the Sequence seemed to have fallen into hibernation.
At this point, the commotion outside of the crater was growing increasingly louder. Evidently, the battle earlier drew a lot of attention and they’d all arrived to examine the situation.
Gu Qing Shan snapped out of his deep thoughts and leapt out from the crater.
Only to see that nearby, a group of 18 heavenly beings were facing against two Sequence Envoys.
“You’re the Lord of Star Gazer city!”
The 18 heavenly beings exclaimed and swiftly assumed battle positions.
Gu Qing Shan curtly glanced over these people before turning his gaze towards the two Sequence Envoys.
One of the Sequence Envoys was tall, the other short, both of them were wearing baggy black robes while gloomy luminous fogs slowly swirled around their bodies.
The luminous fog had obscured their facial features, making it impossible to discern who they were.
—–compared to the 18 heavenly beings, Gu Qing Shan’s attention was more focused on these two Sequence Envoys.
“You have business with me?” Gu Qing Shan purposely asked.
Noticing that it was Gu Qing Shan, the two of them exchanged glances and muttered: “Retreat!”
The two of them swiftly turned around to leave.
Suddenly, one of the 18 heavenly beings called out: “These two are from Star Gazer city, they want to call reinforcements to save the City Lord!”
“Don’t let them go!” another heavenly being shouted.
They belligerently surrounded them.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, but quickly realized what happened.
——these heavenly beings still didn’t know what happened in Star Gazer city, nor did they know the real identities of these people.
The situation was also unexpected for the two Sequence Envoys.
“A bunch of insects being led around the nose by the Samsara dare to mess with us?” the taller person scoffed.
“Die” the shorter one said.
Without him doing anything in particular, a mass of fog had descended to envelope the heavenly beings.
The fog soon dissipated.
The 18 heavenly beings were all lying on the ground, dead.
The short Sequence Envoy looked at Gu Qing Shan, feeling a bit hesitant.
“Come on then, try me” Gu Qing Shan grinned.
The short person sneered, wanting to say something in retaliation, but the taller person had already pulled him away and retreated.
This region once again became silent.
The bodies of the 18 heavenly beings started to shift and change into monstrous forms.
——-these were their original forms.
Looking down at their corpses, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.
These wraiths were really clueless, attempting to block the path of those Sequence Envoys, didn’t they know that these were entities that could go toe-to-toe against the Heavenly Emperor and the Creator Entity?
Gu Qing Shan blankly stared at these corpses and muttered:
“Ning Yue Chan, thanks to you… I’ve snapped out of it…”
His expression gradually became solemn.
18 heavenly beings were equivalent to 18 distinct Samsara Divine Skills.
——even without evolving, they were still bona fide Divine Skills.
But they couldn’t even take a single attack from a Sequence Envoy.
How sorrowful.
Everyone desires to possess the Samsara, but how many have actually stopped to consider what kind of master would the Samsara choose?
Up until this point, I’ve been doing the same thing as other Chosen Saints, doing everything in my power to complete the Samsara’s challenges and requests.
By borrowing the Samsara’s power, I managed to repel the Eternal Mind Seizer, then used the Eternal Mind Seizer’s secret to repel the Sequence Envoys.
That might look impressive, but what about reality?
Schemes are nothing more than that, a type of strategy and a means of improvisation; they can be considered to be a part of an individual’s strength, but never all of it.
“Power… it’s been a very long time since I last bolstered my own power…”
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
The Samsara is the ultimate weapon of all living beings, it would definitely not choose a weakling as a master!
Even before considering that, if somehow the Samsara decided to choose me in the end, would it be ridiculously laughable if I turn out to not be strong enough to exert its power?
I’ve spent so much effort, and yet I forgot about the basis of a cultivator.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
——that’s right, the deciding factor will be to improve my own strength.
The stronger I become, the more strategies I’d be able to employ.
With both wits and strength, my chances of obtaining the Samsara would be doubled.
Suddenly, the Sequence spoke:
[Your current advantage is that you’re at Impossibly Unknown realm]
“What’s good about Impossibly Unknown realm?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[No one can see through your exact level of power, this is a great chance to abruptly grow stronger] the Sequence replied.
“Is your conversion done?” Gu Qing Shan grinned and asked.
[Indeed]
Lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared:
[All energy has been absorbed]
[Unlocking Apocalyptic ability:]
[Entropy Solution]
[This is one of the unique Apocalyptic abilities of the Supreme Sequence]
[Activation condition: Whenever you defeat a target more powerful than yourself, you can activate this ability]
[Description: All will return to eternal destruction, while you absorb power from it]
After reading the description, Gu Qing Shan became speechless and shrugged:
“This ability… how do I use it?”
A new line of text appeared in front of his vision:
[Once you’ve killed a more powerful opponent, you’d understand how to use it]
“Fine” Gu Qing Shan said.
A more powerful opponent…
That won’t be easy to find at all.
Since no Chosen Saint has unsealed their power, I’m the relatively strongest of them all.
——if I knew about this ahead of time, I wouldn’t have let those two Sequence Envoys escape.
He suddenly noticed something and jumped away, taking refuge in a natural crevice several thousand meters away from the crater.
From downstream of the tomb river, something was floating against the flow.
The elongated skull!
Perhaps the commotion drew its attention, so it hurriedly came back from downstream to check the situation.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly had an idea and silently asked:
“Sequence… can I obtain power from killing Apocalyptic monsters?”
[Naturally yes] the Supreme Sequence answered.
Gu Qing Shan’s lips slowly curled up with burning killing intent.
This wasn’t the first time he ran into this monster, and his powers were no longer sealed, so he actually had all his means of combat available to him.
Today, right at this moment, he decided to eliminate this irritating Apocalyptic monster!
Above the tomb river.
The elongated skull was slowly moving ashore.
It naturally noticed the wraith corpses, so it flew over them and looked down to examine them.
Gu Qing Shan was still hiding in the shadows, carefully making considerations.
He didn’t know the extent of the elongated skull’s defenses, nor did he know if it was especially tenacious or not.
The Delimitation Divine Sword——- I can’t exert any of its unique abilities or Thaumaturgies, so in my hands, it’s the same as a regular sword.
If I tried to use it as a normal sword to attack the Apocalyptic monster——
If I can’t kill it no matter how many techniques I use and it simply looks at me, then I’d be done for.
But, are there other methods to kill the elongated skull while only using a single attack?
He quickly considered his options and pulled out a jade brick from his chest.
——this brick was very useful, so maybe I should use it to start the battle.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and silently evaluated the elongated skull’s position.
At one exact point, he exerted his strength and threw it!
The jade brick drew a beautiful curve in the air and heavily struck the elongated skull right at the back of its head.
Abruptly, the elongated skull turned around and looked straight at the jade brick.
It recognized this brick!
「 UGAEEEEEWWWWW——- 」
The elongated skull uttered a furious roar.
The entire jade brick instantly entered nothingness and vanished without a trace.
The jade brick had been stripped of its position in time and space and fell into eternal nothingness, no longer able to escape.
At the same time.
A mass of fog appeared behind the skull.
Gu Qing Shan threw a single punch while standing within the fog.
[Ethereal – Grand Mountain]!
The elongated skull became frozen.
Within ten breaths’ worth of time, it would lose all of its thoughts, unable to even become angry.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and jumped forward, his hands constantly shivering as he readjusted his body state.
“If it retaliates, I’ll die right away, so…”
He muttered to himself.
He then gently touched the tip of his toes to the ground, his entire body seemingly entering a miraculous rhythm.
And finally, he uttered a resounding roar before throwing a second punch.
[Ethereal – Myriad Shadows]!
[After one of your punches hit an opponent, you can activate Myriad Shadows]
[Myriad Shadows: An infinite barrage of hundreds of ten thousand strikes, each punch is equal to 1/10000 of your power, but Myriad Shadows will continue to persist as long as you don’t tell it to stop, your enemy will also fall into a constant state of being hit, unable to change this state no matter what they do]
[——-Fist of Infinite Striking]
In an instant, Gu Qing Shan’s hands turned into a blur before it turned into a barrage of hundreds of ten thousand fists, all of which struck the back of the elongated skull’s head without pause.
While being struck hundreds of ten thousand times by [Myriad Shadows], the elongated shadow couldn’t display any sort of reactions.
The only thing it could do was stand still and continue to be hit!
But this kind of fist technique didn’t contain even a single bit of power, how could it possibly destroy it?
An instant had gone by.
A layer of blood-colored glow slowly manifested around Gu Qing Shan’s body.
A certain unique power has been activated.
Bam bam bam bam bam!
Around the elongated skull, bursts of bloody fog descended one by one, manifesting into spirits of varying forms.
A blood-colored giant, a bloody-eyed salamander, a guillotine, a blood-colored shadow demon, a blood spirit magus…
This was the Spirit Art: [Realm Spirit Descends]!
[During battle, whenever you strike an opponent an appropriate number of times, you will be able to summon a Blood Sea realm spirit of a different power level to eliminate the enemies that stand in your way]
[After striking the opponent 3 times, the first Blood Sea realm spirit will descend]
[After striking the opponent 27 times…]
[After striking the opponent 133 times…]
All the spirits surrounded the elongated skull while continuously unleashing their attacks.
They continuously appeared, attacked with all their power, then vanished.
But as soon as they vanished, they would instantly reappear and unleash the same attack again.
——because Gu Qing Shan’s fists hadn’t stopped a single time!
Hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, millions of punches literally rained down upon the elongated skull like a storm.
Whenever he reached the appropriate number of strikes, the spirits of the Saint realm would appear and attack the elongated skull using the full force of a realm spirit.
“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Gu Qing Shan roared.
Infinite punches.
He continued to punch, and punch, and punch, and punch, and——
Until the barrage of punches abruptly disappeared and no longer manifested.
All the Saint realm spirits had also left.
It was only now that Gu Qing Shan slowly pulled his hands back while breathing heavily.
In theory, unless he intended to stop, the fist technique [Myriad Shadows] would continue to persist.
Unless——
The enemy could no longer be attacked.
