World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 431 - Realm demon

Chapter 431: Realm demon

“If it’s as you said, this world is already deep in despair” Gu Qing Shan said.

“That is indeed the case” Wan Er smiled.

But Gu Qing Shan’s expression was now a bit tense.

“Despair… will drive people wild”

After saying so, he lightly stood up from the cus.h.i.+on.

The two women were a bit shocked as they went into thought of what he said.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “If it’s already normal hour, can we go to Guang Yang sect now?”

“Young master, we should leave now” Qing Rou answered.

“Let’s go then”

The two women also stood up and gathered everything.

Wan Er let out an airs.h.i.+p.

This was a small droplet-shaped airs.h.i.+p whose speed can be estimated to be very great.

But the s.p.a.ce inside the airs.h.i.+p was exceedingly cramped.

Together with the three girls, Gu Qing Shan had no idea where to put his hands at all, making it very awkward.

Finally, he could only stand straight up, but still had nowhere to put his hands, otherwise he’ll touch them as soon as he let his hands down.

“There really is no need to make an airs.h.i.+p this small” he complained.

“Young master, this is the highest level of airs.h.i.+p, the only kind capable of escaping from the realm demon’s unconscious offshoots” Wan Er explained.

“We already saw the unconscious offshoots just now, so what about the conscious offshoots?” Shannu asked curiously.

“No one could see the conscious offshoots———- they are too fast, no airs.h.i.+p could escape from them, their appearance almost always mean death” Wan Er shook her head.

At this time, Qing Rou had a very serious expression on her face.

“Keep in mind that you are a womanizer, young master. You cannot act shy or nervous in front of us, otherwise you’ll be found out immediately when seen by someone” Qing Rou told him.

Gu Qing Shan spoke in annoyance: “I get it”

He still doesn’t know where to put his hands.

Qing Rou grabbed one of his arms, speaking very seriously: “I know you are not Qi Yan, and I know you respect us a lot, so for the sake of both our survivals, you have to act a bit more natural”

Wan Er grabbed his other arm, nodding half-seriously, half-encouragingly.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, asking: “Do I look that unnatural?”

“Truthfully, you look like an alert little bunny, always ready to flee” Wan Er answered.

“…Fine”

“Gongzi, look below” Shannu called out.

Gu Qing Shan poked his head out to look below the airs.h.i.+p.

There was no ground under the sky.

Mud and dirt, mountains, rivers, plains, such things that grow and thrive from the grace of the earth are crucial, unmissable pieces of every world.

But this world doesn’t have such things.

The ground itself was replaced by a dark-red blob of flesh.

Numerous thin, string-like things were protruding from the dark-red blob of flesh.

It was s.h.i.+fting constantly, layered on top of one another, writhing without stopping.

Even when Gu Qing Shan looked further away, he couldn’t see anything else, the blob of flesh reached all the way towards the horizon.

This was the realm demon’s main body.

They have to avoid getting close ——according to the information he received, its main body was also its strongest part.

A Cryptic realm cultivator can fend off its unconscious offshoots, possibly even its conscious offshoots.

But when the realm demon’s main body arrives, even a Cryptic realm cultivator can only run for their life.

And they might not even be able to get away.

Although he had already known that the demon has such a gigantic body, Gu Qing Shan still couldn’t help himself being frightened by it the first time he saw with his own eyes.

“How is it so large, could it be…” he muttered.

According to the two women’s information, the realm demon had already consumed the sun, moons and all celestial bodies within the world’s vicinity over the last few thousand years.

And now it was eating away at the surface of the world.

The surface of the Suspended world was formed from countless worlds fused together, so it contained a lot of Origin power.

Once the realm demon finished eating, this world would finally collapse and die.

This would be the path to the end for the Suspended world.

It’s ironic, the cultivators of this world have conquered world after world ever since they knew how.

But now, they don’t even have a world left for themselves.

Wan Er took out the black talisman and took a look again.

The glow of the “Ji” character was still stable.

She was able to calm down.

——normally, whenever the realm demon wakes up is considered ‘Danger Hour’.

No one dares to let out even a single thread of spirit energy, otherwise they’ll be found by the unconscious offshoots and devoured.

When the realm demon falls asleep, it’s considered “normal hour” where people can freely use spirit energy and move about.

Staring at the realm demon, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but evaluate it.

After going through some brief comparison, Gu Qing Shan confirmed that this realm demon has already surpa.s.sed the level of normal Demon Lords.

This wasn’t a combat-ready Remodeled Demon Lord, nor was it a strange and unpredictable Chaotic Demon Lord.

This realm demon must be the extremely rare True Demon Lord.

They are the strongest type of Demon Lord out of the three, created from the corpse of the Divinity of old.

A human’s eyes and inner sight can’t even see it in its entirety, only a part of its body—— as if they were gazing at the vast surface of mother earth itself.

This was what the true body of a Divine being of old should look like!

The airs.h.i.+p quickly flew up to get further away from the realm demon.

Every floating island was using a formation to hover, staying as far away from the realm demon as possible.

Only those islands whose supply of spirit stones were about to run out would have to lower their own height to minimize the consumption of spirit stones.

They definitely faced more danger than anyone else.

Because the closer you are to the realm demon, the easier you are to be found.

On the airs.h.i.+p.

“We’ll arrive soon” Wan Er muttered.

Gu Qing Shan returned his gaze forward.

A grand mountain floating in mid air.

Guang Yang sect.

He finally arrived.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, then opened them, repeating it over and over.

“What are you doing?” Qing Rou asked.

“Trying to enter the correct state” Gu Qing Shan answered.

At this time, two streaks of light flew out from the top of the mountain.

One of them slowly pa.s.sed by their s.h.i.+p, heading towards the sky far away.

It was quite a large s.h.i.+p that contained a lot of material and resources.

Qing Rou explained: “This is a resource s.h.i.+p sent to exchange for a special kind of pill. The Grand Elder w.a.n.g Hong Dao, because of his serious injury, he has no choice but to depend on those pills to sustain his life”

Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes, asking: “Which sect is this s.h.i.+p heading to?”

“Rakshasa Peak, the only big sect left on this world” Wan Er answered.

“Where did the others go?”

“Either dead or already fled”

“Fled?”

“The only hope for their survival is to have their island fly up and escape from the orbit of this world, but this method requires a lot of resources and powerful cultivators to pull off, and only the big sects have access to them”

Gu Qing Shan started thinking.

The Grand Elder w.a.n.g Hong Dao was a Cryptic realm cultivator.

w.a.n.g Hong Dao needs a very high-leveled type of pill that Guang Yang sect cannot make.

The sect can only send an entire s.h.i.+p of resources to Rakshasa Peak to exchange for these pills periodically.

The other streak of light came towards them, stopping in front of Gu Qing Shan.

A cultivator wearing a large-brimmed hat appeared as he bowed to greet him.

“Greetings, Hallmaster Qi” the cultivator respectfully said.

He only glanced at Qi Yan for a moment before his attention was redirected to Shannu who was now “Gu Qing Shan”.

A stranger.Hallmaster Qi brought a stranger back to the sect?Who is this person?

While he was thinking, Wan Er had already controlled the airs.h.i.+p to fly past him.

It was now that the cultivator reacted in time and hurriedly formed the hand seals necessary to open a gate to pa.s.s through the sect protective formation.

The airs.h.i.+p quickly turned into a streak of light as it went inside the floating mountains and headed towards its peak.

Quite a few cultivators stopped to bow and greet respectfully: “Greetings, Hallmaster Qi!”

Gu Qing Shan doesn’t even return a single word.

This face was hidden below the large-brimmed hat as faint but real killing intent escaped from his body, showing off his condescending att.i.tude.

The people saw ‘Qi Yan’ appear dignified while looking ahead, but had one hand reached out to toy with Qing Rou’s soft hand.

Qing Rou stood by his side, smiling, using her other hand to bring a cup of spirit tea to his lips.

This was a common scene.

Qi Yan has always been like this.

The cultivators here were already used to this.

After taking a glance, they stopped looking in order to avoid offending him.

Right after, they used their inner sight to focus on the stranger, ‘Gu Qing Shan’.

——what kind of person would attract Hallmaster Qi enough that he brings them back to the sect?

Everyone was asking the same question in their minds.

So they tried investigating ‘Gu Qing Shan’ further, wanting to pry some information off of him.

‘Gu Qing Shan’ stood at the s.h.i.+p indifferently with a cold expression on her face.

After airs.h.i.+p quickly pa.s.sed, leaving the gazes and inner sights of the cultivators behind as it made its way towards the peak of the floating mountain.

Wan Er put the airs.h.i.+p away.

This place was the central inner sanctum area of Guang Yang sect, any flying was forbidden.

The four people descended, stopping in front of a particularly large villa among many.

Qing Rou formed a hand seal.

A light began to flicker above the villa.

“Young master, we’ve returned” Qing Rou spoke softly.

Gu Qing Shan only let out a faint ‘hmph’ through his nose.

He went in first, followed by Shannu, then the two maids who went in last.

After Wan Er came in, she formed another hand seal.

The light above the villa disappeared again.

The formation has been reactivated.

The group of four went into a room and closed the door behind themselves.

Both Qing Rou and Wan Er let out a long sigh.

“The first check has pa.s.sed” Wan Er patted her chest in relief.
