World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 1092 - Final Moments of Despair

Chapter 1092: Final Moments of Despair

The Starlight s.h.i.+p quickly flew through the darkness.

Sparks of glittering sprites were following the s.h.i.+p.

Within the darkness of the void, the s.h.i.+p and the sprites practically fused with one another, speeding like a runaway comet.

The people in the s.h.i.+p stared at the glittering sprites.

“So these are all light emanating from the pixie’s magic staves?” Hazeden asked.

“That’s right, they’re coming with us because if they stay behind, they will die” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He and Su Xue Er were piloting the s.h.i.+p together, heading towards the furthest point of the star chart.

The s.h.i.+p’s high-pitched alarms abruptly started to ring.

Gu Qing Shan operated the dashboard, quickly displaying the source.

A group of skeletal birds were following them from far behind.

We’ve been tailed.

Everyone’s hearts sank.

Su Xue Er didn’t say anything and entered a long series of commands on the screen.

Her dashboard split open to reveal a black helmet hidden below.

Su Xue Er took the helmet and put it on.

The s.h.i.+p’s wings suddenly s.h.i.+fted at a slight angle.

As the s.h.i.+p started twirling in the air, hundreds of blinding light shot from the back of the s.h.i.+p into the darkness behind it.

The tailing skeletal birds were struck by the light and turned into cl.u.s.ters of boney fireworks.

No skeletal birds remained on the screen.

But the alarms didn’t stop.

『 My G.o.d, what is that…』Sha Qiang blankly exclaimed.

A humongous skeletal hand abruptly reached out from below the s.h.i.+p in an attempt to grab it.

This skeletal hand looked a lot similar to the one that was stuck in the secret pa.s.sage from before, but significantly larger.

Even the entire Starlight s.h.i.+p could fit squarely within this skeletal hand’s grasp.

Hundreds of arcs of light shot through the darkness and struck the humongous skeletal hand directly.

But despite that, the hand did not slow down a single bit.

“Let me!” Guyan shouted.

He pressed his hand against the floor of the s.h.i.+p and activated his only ability.

A brilliant fire phoenix manifested below the s.h.i.+p.

The fire phoenix seemed extremely life-like flapping its wings as it flew towards the skeletal hand.

Boom!!

As the phoenix crashed into the hand, a resounding sound of impact could be heard.

The skeletal hand seemed to have been stunned on the screen.

As soon as everyone was about to sigh in relief, the alarm of the s.h.i.+p started sounding even louder.

Because another humongous skeletal hand had appeared on the screen!

This skeletal hand was waiting directly in front of the s.h.i.+p, waiting for them to enter into its grasp.

Guyan told everyone: “It’s ok, leave it to me!”

He used his ability again.

This time, two phoenixes manifested at the same time!

The phoenixes flapped their wings and soared towards the terrifying skeletal hand.

Another explosion resounded through the void, this time even the s.h.i.+p trembled a bit from the shockwaves.

The skeletal hand was forced away by the explosion.

The s.h.i.+p took that chance to fly through.

Hazeden grimly said: “That’s not enough, if we can’t destroy it, that skeletal hand will keep on coming!”

Gu Qing Shan swiftly operated the dashboard in front of him.

The s.h.i.+p sped up again, but didn’t fly any higher.

——they were already flying as high as they could, the only thing above them was an endless wall.

They managed to distance themselves from the pair of skeletal hands, but everyone only felt their hearts tightening.

Gu Qing Shan was the same.

This time, even without looking at the screen, he understood that the time of life and death was close.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted: “Old man, your turn!”

The sprites all around them suddenly converged and unleashed a beautiful purple pillar of light right in front of the s.h.i.+p.

At the location of the attack, a skull filled with bugs and maggots had just appeared.

The skull opened its mouth and chomped down on the s.h.i.+p.

It was the owner of the previous pair of skeletal hands!

At the moment of life and death, the pixies banded together to unleash an attack.

The purple pillar of light struck the skull and turned it incorporeal.

The s.h.i.+p and the sprites of light around it went straight through the mouth of the skull and headed through the hole.

It was only after they had gotten far away that the skull regained its tangibility.

The s.h.i.+p opened fire from every cannon it had, striking the wall above.

A series of explosions and impact resounded through the void.

Large boulders broke off from above, falling onto the giant skull.

Then came a group of cawing b.l.o.o.d.y birds that soared towards them from ahead.

Su Xue Er had the s.h.i.+p unleashed an invisible shockwave that caused the birds to lose their sense of direction and all fell into the darkness below.

Another skeletal hand appeared from the darkness in front of them.

Another giant monster.

The pixies acted again.

The mystical purple pillar of light struck the hand and turned it incorporeal.

The s.h.i.+p flew through it.

But no one on the s.h.i.+p had an expression of relief.

“We can’t keep this up” Hazeden said with a heavy tone: “There are too many monsters, we won’t be able to shake them off, try using a teleportation spell!”

One of the guards behind him took out a Card, carefully checked it and reported: “Your majesty, some sort of power seemed to have sealed this place off, we cannot teleport away!”

Guyan turned to his subordinates.

One of them dejectedly shook his head as well.

Sha Qiang was still occupied with the combat exchange earlier and gritted his teeth: 『 d.a.m.n it, they’re sticking to us like hunting hounds. From a hunting perspective, they’re stalling for time in order for the real heavy-hitters to arrive 』

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes became sharp, quickly walked up to the window of the s.h.i.+p and loudly asked the pixies: “There are so many of you, so why are you all using a positional s.h.i.+fting technique? Where are your serious combat techniques?”

The sprites of light paused slightly before turning into a sea of light, manifesting as the long-bearded old man’s face and spoke:

“Trapped—— for—— 100 million—– years. No—– spell—– casting—– components—- left”

The people on the s.h.i.+p went quiet.

Pixies are a very powerful race, very few people within the entirety of the 900 million World Layers would actually try to offend them.

But in this secret pa.s.sage, the long period of 100 million years had expended all of their supplies, leaving them only with the ability to cast basic spells.

No wonder they had to avoid the monsters.

Because they could no longer use their powerful spells to attack the enemy.

What now?

They can’t shake the enemy off at all.

Guyan abruptly said: “Investigate”

“Yes, Lord”

One of his subordinates replied, tossed a ma.s.s of flames into the air and chanted the incantation.

In the ma.s.s of flames, the masked cultivators and numerous monsters were quickly approaching them.

It wouldn’t be much time until they catch up with the s.h.i.+p!

『 It’s all over, we’re going to die here 』Sha Qiang dejectedly said.

Hazeden sighed, but said nothing.

Guyan begrudgingly gritted his teeth: “Even if we die, we’re going to take as many of them down with us as possible!”

His subordinates loudly responded.

Gu Qing Shan took a step back to take a look at everyone.

He saw despair.

He then turned to look at Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er had already taken off her helmet, still working tirelessly to pilot the s.h.i.+p.

She responded to his gaze with an expression of unease.

There was no fear, only concern.

Gu Qing Shan felt his mind calming down.

He took out the Omni Stone, walked up to Su Xue Er and whispered to her: “There’s something I want to entrust to you”

“What is it?” Su Xue Er asked.

“I’ll trouble you to take care of me. Before I return, I want you to carry me with you” Gu Qing Shan told her.

Hearing their conversation, everyone turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

『 Do you have a way to escape? 』Sha Qiang asked.

“I don’t” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He raised his voice and addressed everyone: “The pixies gave me an incantation that unsealed this rock in my hand. Right now, this rock will allow me to release two of my abilities”

Everyone’s eyes turned grim.

What can two measly abilities achieve?

Both the number and power of the enemy is enough to raise an inter-world war many times over!

Gu Qing Shan continued: “In truth, I came here in search of a certain weapon. I’ve witnessed the power of that weapon, capable of killing Deities and fiends alike, and I came here this time in order to make it whole again, becoming even stronger than before”

“But you have no way to leave by yourself right now” Hazeden pointed that out.

『 That’s right, once you leave the s.h.i.+p, you’ll be killed and devoured by the monsters before you even reach the ground 』Sha Qiang added.

Gu Qing Shan calmly replied: “Do not give up, give everything you’ve got and resist against the enemy. Trust me, I will definitely return with that weapon to save everyone”

After saying so, he suddenly crushed the Omni Stone.

Immediately, the two abilities he had chosen were unsealed!

[Secret Art: Sealed Body Yin s.h.i.+ft, you will enter a state of death not unlike that of any other dead person in the world]

[Secret Art: Soul Comes Soul Goes, after you die, your soul can enter and leave Huang Quan as you pleased]

These were the complementary techniques of Xie Dao Ling’s Huang Quan Divine Skill!
