Chapter 1841: The Heavenly Emperor’s readiness

Translator: La009

The black dragon finished performing a rap.

He put down the microphone and exhaled, his expression looked as if he had just been lifted of a huge burden.

“Is that it?” Demon Dragon asked doubtfully.

The black dragon shrugged: All in all, I’ve fulfilled all of her conditions, so according to the established Laws, she should awaken now J

The two of them both turned their attention towards the sealing platform.

The thick layers of sealing runes in the air were systematically fading away, revealing the next layer before they also gradually disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan looked closely at the sword with delight, but then heard Demon Dragon call out: “Look!”

He immediately looked around.

Only to see that the runes of the other sealing platforms were also being undone.

Gu Qing Shan exclaimed: “How is that possible? I clearly only unsealed the Six Paths Great Mountain sword!”

9 platforms.

All of their Divine Artifacts audibly resonated with each other.

The palace hall itself began to disappear.

All the lock seals were fading away, revealing the numerous Divine Artifacts and Treasures hidden in the void of space of the vault.

These Artifacts and Treasures all belonged to a Chosen Saint at one point or another.

From the very moment that these Chosen Saints entered the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, not only were their powers sealed off, even the artifacts they possessed were taken into Huang Quan.

Within the Thousand Layered Halls, the 9 Divine Artifacts continuously rang out at an increasingly louder rate.

This resonance reverberated throughout the Thousand Layered Halls, stimulating countless other Divine Artifacts to also ring.

“Gong zi?” a pained female voice could be heard.

It was Shannu’s voice!

Gu Qing Shan immediately became tense and shouted: “Shannu, what’s wrong!

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword was now trembling non-stop, Shannu’s voice barely sounding from within the sword: “I can’t control myself, it feels like some sort of power specifically aimed towards artifact spirits, it’s making me unable to move…

Shannu’s voice ceased.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword fell back into silence.

Gu Qing Shan reached out to grab the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and grunted: “Sequence!”

Lines of bloody red text rapidly appeared:

[You’ve obtained the Six Paths Great Mountain sword (artifact spirit sealed)]

[This state was caused by the Pendant of Fire’s ‘Miracle’ power, the Six Paths

Great Mountain sword cannot nullify this power] [Awakening conditions: the end of the Artifact Clash]

[Before that, this sword is unable to leave the Huang Quan realm]

[Warning!]

[You’ve triggered the Huang Quan Origin Seal, the Artifact Clash of the Huang

Quan realm has officially begun!]

Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows.

What?

Why did the Artifact Clash suddenly begin?

The skull woman descended from the sky and looked around the hall, then immediately understood what happened.

She shook her head and sorrowfully said: So the Heavenly Emperor was still one move ahead of us, this is quite troublesome

Gu Qing Shan asked right away: “What happened? My sword seems to be unable to leave the Huang Quan realm”

The skull woman turned to him and muttered in a low voice: It seems the Heavenly Emperor have kept his eyes on you for quite a while—— make sense, you were originally Xie Dao Ling’s direct disciple, as well as the wielder of both the Devil King Warden Rod and Six Paths Great Mountain sword after all; the Heavenly Emperor had prepared a series of lock seals around the Six Paths Great Mountain sword before we realized J

She sighed: As soon as you took the sword, all of the Samsara’s Origin Power would pour into the Huang Quan realm, thus initiating the competition between the Divine Artifacts of Huang Quan to pick out its Primary Artifact, this way, your sword would not be able to leave J

– -it wasn’tjust the Samsara Artifact Clash, the Heavenly Emperor had actually utilized the Pendant ofFire as well.

A double-layeredpreparation, just to make sure that the Six Paths Great Mountain sword remains in Huang Quan!

“In other words, we have no choice but to wait here until the Divine Artifacts of Huang Quan finish their Clash?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“If we wait like that, the Heavenly Emperor’s arrival is just a matter of time” Demon Dragon commented.

The skull woman remained silent briefly before continuing: Not only that… your sword… it cannot participate in this Clash at all Il

Gu Qing Shan went silent.

All the Divine Artifacts of the Samsara must participate in this Clash to pick out 6 PrimaryArtifacts.

Unfortunately- – – – –

Under the effects of [Miracle], the Six Paths Great Mountain sword cannot awaken until the Artifact Clash is over.

In other words, Shannu… has lost her chance…

Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth and took out the Devil King Warden Rod, asking: “Can the Devil King Rod participate in this Artifact Clash?”

The skull woman replied: (f Is your scepter ringing in resonance?

Gu Qing Shan and Demon Dragon both turned to the scepter.

It was completely silent.

The skull woman sighed again and spoke: It seems that in order to participate in this Artifact Clash, an artifact spirit must exist—– the Heavenly Emperor has really thought of everything J

Gu Qing Shan and Demon Dragon both fell silent.

Going through such a long process, only to find out that someone else had already predicted all of your moves, that truly isn’t a good thing to experience.

Demon Dragon pondered for a while before sighing while shaking his head:

“Such an impressive opponent… Gu Qing Shan, you’ve met your match”

He looked at Gu Qing Shan, only to see Gu Qing Shan calmly speaking: “Back in the Elements Purgatory, I was almost led into a deathtrap once. Afterwards, when I discovered that the Heavenly Emperor was being manipulated, I was doubtful, but now I can believe something without a shred of doubt-

“What’s that?” Demon Dragon asked.

“The monster that was manipulating the fake Heavenly Emperor was always a part of the previous Heavenly Emperor’s plan, it was nothing but a piece on the chessboard as well…” Gu Qing Shan confirmed.

“Monster? What monster?” Demon Dragon asked.

Gu Qing Shan appeared to ponder, then muttered: “I can’t tell you the name, since there’s danger in that knowledge- – – – the monster is now my enemy to the death, it’s going through evolution so it’ll soon come for me again, seems like even that was a part of the Heavenly Emperor’s plans…”

“Furthermore, I doubt that this is the extent of the Heavenly Emperor’s schemes…”

The skull woman and Demon Dragon were both stunned.

This was a trap that had already been laid from the very beginning, one that made sure Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t be able to leave once he tried to retrieve his sword.

And both the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and Devil King Warden Rod were now unable to participate in the Artifact Clash.

These immense fluctuations suggest that it will continue for a long while.

Meaning Gu Qing Shan only has 2 choices in front of him.

Either give up on his sword and flee.

Or stay here and wait for death.

As a sword cultivator, if he fled by giving up on his sword, his ‘Dao Heart’ would definitely be damaged, perhaps even leading to him being unable to take any step further.

Even if he came back for the Six Paths Great Mountain sword later on, would the artifact spirit still recognize him?

There will most likely be a crevice in between the swordsman and the sword.

But if he remained… Neither of his Divine Artifacts has any chances of becoming the Huang Quan Primary Artifact.

—–it would truly be nothing but a death wish to remain.

This is already such an elaborate, brutal, and unavoidable scheme, yet Gu Qing Shan claims that this wasn’t all ofit?

“What else do you think the Heavenly Emperor is going to do?” Demon Dragon couldn’t help but ask.

“Whatever it is, it should appear quite soon” Gu Qing Shan replied.

As soon as he said that——-

The sound of resonance across the Huang Quan realm became even more pronounced, melding together to form a stifling murderous aura.

“That can’t be good” Demon Dragon commented with a heavy tone.

The skull woman also looked up at the still-increasing number of Divine Artifacts and Treasures.

Several lines of bloody red text suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:

[The rules of this Artifact Clash has been established]

[Firstly, by using Samsara Origin Power, exert the full power of all Divine

Artifacts to annihilate the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s artifact spirit]

A Blade-type Divine Artifact was the first to display its hostility.

This Blade was one of the 9 Divine Artifacts that were sealed on top of a platform like the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, which suddenly leapt off from its platform to unleash a downward slash!

A blinding blade slash howled harrowingly as it streaked towards the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Gu Qing Shan moved the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to his back while shifting his grip on the Delimitation Divine Sword to receive the strike—-

Bang!

The blade slash was stopped by a sword slash.

“Not good, all the Divine Artifacts want to attack your sword!” Demon Dragon called out.

Gu Qing Shan looked around himself again.

Only to see the numerous Divine Artifacts that filled the void of space were all aiming at the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, clearly eager to act.

The skull woman said: Gu Qing Shan, I’m going to take the Forgetting River as well as Bridge of Life and Death first. Hopefully by the time I’m finished, you will leave with me

Seeing her calm demeanor, Gu Qing Shan asked: “Senior, if I were to stay behind, what would you do then?”

The skull woman answered: In the past, after the previous Devil King died, the Heavenly Emperor used the same method to destroy the Devil King Warden

Rod’s artifact spirit J

She shook her head and began to head out from the hall while continuing:

The reason I managed to survive back then was that my submission into the Samsara benefited the Samsara- in truth, all the Deities of Huang Quan together wouldn’t be a match for the Heavenly Emperor. I can tell that you aren’t a foolish individual, it’s best to make your decision sooner rather than later

After those words, she simply flew towards the Forgetting River.

Only Gu Qing Shan and Demon Dragon remained.

The sky was beginning to fill with blinding colorful light.

– -all the Divine Artifacts were gathering their powers in preparation to attack.

Demon Dragon said: “Even without a wielder, they’re still capable of exerting the full extent of their powers, I can’t fathom how the Heavenly Emperor managed to calculate even that”

Gu Qing Shan just looked up at the sky with an unchanged expression without saying a single word.

Demon Dragon glanced at him and shook his head: “If you don’t want to die in battle here, the only choice is to give up on this sword”

Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space and silently spoke in his mind:

“Sequence, I recall activating [Virtue] during the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and Devil King”

Several lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared:

[You did invoke ‘Virtue’; and obtained the seed of the Heavenly Dharma]

[This is merely the seed of the Heavenly Dharma, for it to grow powerful, continuous effort over a long period of time is indispensable. It will not help the current predicament]

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became dimmer.

He remained speechless for a long while, up until all the Divine Artifacts in the sky had already finished their preparations and were ready to rain their attacks down.

“Demon Dragon, I have something to give you” Gu Qing Shan suddenly said.

“What?” Demon Dragon asked.

Gu Qing Shan pulled out the Devil King Warden Rod and tossed it to Demon Dragon.

“I’m appointing you as the next Devil King, so you won’t have to participate in the Devil King competition” he said.

Demon Dragon was shocked and asked with an uncertain tone: “You’re giving the Devil King position to me?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Yeah, since you have a wife and child, there’s no need for you to remain here and die. Accompany Lady High Deity and flee with everyone”

Demon Dragon asked: “What about you?”

Gu Qing Shan answered: “I will be with my sword”

Thousands of blinding beams of light started descending from the sky, all aiming towards the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in his grasp.

Gu Qing Shan put the Six Paths Great Mountain sword away and brandished the Delimitation Divine Sword in his other hand.

Icy sword phantoms streaked into the sky, attempting to fend off the attacks of the Divine Artifacts from above..
