[You've obtained a portion of the Apocalypse Sequence: Palace of Fear, which the Sequence has manifested into an elentary Apocalyptic power]
[Lord of Horror (elentary): Any entity that faces you will be subjected to hallucinations that cannot be dispelled, from which they would feel true fear]
[-----At the advent of the Apocalypse, fear spreads through all living beings]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimd through this description and silently felt surprised.
This is a completely unheard-of ability, not belonging to any specific type, and is capable of directly affecting an enemy's psyche, which is truly hard to defend against.
And most importantly, these hallucinations can't be dispelled at all.
In a fight, that's extrely fatal.
And this is only the elentary version of [Lord of Horror]…
How powerful would an advanced version of [Lord of Horror] be?
Suddenly, he thought of sothing and imdiately asked:
"Sequence, are you awake?"
Two lines of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:
[Not yet]
[For energy conservation purposes, please do not talk with ]
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He suddenly returned to his senses and started looking at his surroundings.
At so unknown point, all the graves within this graveyard had disappeared.
Even the tombstones were nowhere to be seen.
Only the Samsara War General's tombstone remained on the ground, which had been broken into several pieces.
"So they've all run away?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he felt his vision becoming blurred for a split second.
The howling of a snowstorm.
Whiteness as far as the eye could see.
There wasn't a single thing on the frozen river, and the tattered palaces had all disappeared without a trace.
----he had returned to the Elents War Zone!
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit hesitant.
That snake monster said that everyone who had ever entered this place would have to face a kind of Apocalypse, but now that I've already devoured the Palace of Fear, what's next?
Gu Qing Shan decisively went back the sa way he ca.
Not too long after, he saw the wreck of the Wrought Iron Giant on the ground, as well as------
The snake-headed humanoid monster who was restrained on the ground by 7-8 lengths of chains.
"Hey, I'm back" Gu Qing Shan greeted it.
The humanoid snake monster stared at him and spoke with a disappointed tone: 「 You've actually managed to not die… 」
"That's right, thanks to the information you gave. When it ca to the Palace of Fear, everything you said was indeed the truth" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Even if that's the case, you've already reached the end of your path 」the monster coldly sneered.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "Oh? What else is there? I'm all ears"
The monster's expression beca a bit more arrogant.
Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms and pursued the issue: "You seem quite worried, what exactly is going to happen?"
The monster completely ignored him and started to roll around on the ground, its body slowly sinking down.
Using its long tail, it moved the dirt and mud in the surroundings to cover its body before going completely silent.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
The snowstorm was growing increasingly more intense.
From the other side of the snowy plains, the sound of intense howling could be heard from the faraway mountain ranges.
Heaven and earth slowly beca dim.
"It seems like sothing is about to happen" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
His inner alarms were blaring.
What exactly is it?
It seems… quite dangerous.
--------the humanoid snake's reaction is the best proof of that.
After staying silent for a few monts, Gu Qing Shan walked up and started stomping the ground, calling out: "Hey, co out here"
「 Scram, brat 」
The humanoid snake's voice could be heard from below the ground.
----it was being restrained very tightly by the chains, so it could only sink into the outermost layer of mud, unable to dig itself any further down.
"What are you afraid of over here? Tell " Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Heh… 」the humanoid snake just scoffed at him without answering.
"Don't be so cold, let's talk about this for a bit" Gu Qing Shan earnestly insisted.
The situation abruptly changed------
Whoosh!
The dirt and mud suddenly went flying.
The monster had leapt out of the ground, its sharp claw aiming straight for Gu Qing Shan-------
Shu!
Its claw stabbed straight into its own chest.
Their eyes t.
Plish!
Plish!
Plish!
Blood started flowing.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Haven't you learnt a single thing? Just look, you're bleeding again"
The humanoid snake gritted its teeth: 「 Don't act so high and mighty, do you really think you're going to run away this ti? Dream on! 」
It swiftly pulled its claw back out and swung at Gu Qing Shan again.
Clang!
Gu Qing Shan blocked the claw with his blade and scowled: "Do you really want to die?"
The humanoid snake coldly sneered, then mocked him: 「 I'm going to keep you busy here, then----- 」
It suddenly went silent as its eyes beca filled with fear.
Two faint figures had manifested behind Gu Qing Shan.
Their visages were extrely faint, so much so that one couldn't see them unless they focused. The figures seed to be so sort of insect inside a pot with humanoid upper halves while their lower halves were insectoid.
The two insects were male and female respectively, both of which were eyeing the humanoid snake with an eerie smile on their faces.
The humanoid snake imdiately shrank back and shouted with a trembling voice: 「 To be able to summon them… who exactly are you!? 」
A flash of understanding appeared in Gu Qing Shan's eye.
A line of bloody text was floating in the void of space:
[Lord of Horror (elentary) has taken effect]
-----in other words, this guy is already feeling fear?
What exactly is it seeing?
"You don't need to know who I am" Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and spoke very sincerely: "Just know that I didn't kill you before when you told the truth. What do you say we make another deal right now?"
「 What deal? 」the monster asked.
"If you tell what's really going on here, I guarantee that when I can, I'll co back here to help you escape" Gu Qing Shan proposed.
「 What if I refuse to speak? 」the monster asked.
"If you won't tell , I'll stay right here and keep watch over you. No matter what happens next, I'll make sure you stay right in front of " Gu Qing Shan smirked.
「 You shaless scoundrel! 」the monster burst out shouting.
It clearly wanted to attack him in its fury, but after glancing behind Gu Qing Shan, it fearfully lowered its claw once again.
The sky had gotten even dimr.
The monster suddenly turned its head towards the distance, only to see the snowstorm in the sky becoming thicker, then noticed a faint but sharp buzzing noise in the air-----
It appeared to be struggling internally, then finally sighed: 「 There's no ti, if you have an ability to dig underground, then hide like I just did. If you don't have any skill similar to that, then find sowhere else to hide, don't stay here and get involved! 」
"What exactly is going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The monster answered: 「 A particularly scary fellow has just been alard, so it's using its power to patrol the entirety of the Elents War Zone, anyone who dares to stick their heads up at this point in ti will end up the sa------ dead! 」
After saying that, the monster leapt backwards and once again hid itself under the mud and dirt.
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the distance.
Only to see nothing but a huge mass of dust in the distance, currently boiling up and spreading in every direction.
"Seems like that it is indeed true…"
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit before heading towards the wrecked Wrought Iron Giant on the ground.
-------this Wrought Iron Giant has always remained on the ground, seemingly for a very long ti.
Since it had been able to exist this entire ti, it wouldn't be affected by whatever is coming.
Gu Qing Shan thought back to what he saw the previous ti he was here and followed a thick length of wire to quickly find a tal path that was made to fit the wire.
Climbing into the wire path, he moved through it for a while before seeing a hatch door.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes lit up and stepped forward to take a careful look at the structure of the wire path and the valves.
Pulling his blade, he used the hilt to bang against the hatch door.
Bang bang bang ksssh----
The hatch door quickly fell down and blocked the way in.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and sat down with his legs crossed, his expression remained solemn as he listened to the commotion outside.
This Elents War Zone is full of monsters and Apocalypses.
If an entity could completely ignore all of these monsters and Apocalypses to sweep through the Elents War Zone like this------
Then it would truly deserve to be called the strongest!
While he was thinking, his surroundings were suddenly lit up.
A dark green screen of light had appeared within the tal wire path.
------the internals of the Wrought Iron Giant seed to have been activated!
Gu Qing Shan was caught a bit off-guard, so he defenselessly let the green light pass through his body.
A chanical voice quickly followed:
[Warning!]
[This creation of the Human realm is only accessible to Chosen Saints of the Human realm, the Chosen Saints of the other Realms cannot occupy it!]
[Please leave imdiately, or this creation will forcefully evict the occupant]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Those who aren't Chosen Saints of the Human realm aren't allowed to be here?
He suddenly recalled a ssage from the Supre Sequence right before he set out earlier:
[The only reminder: You can only receive temporary safety and shelter once you've found the clues of the past Wraith realm]
So that's what it ant!
In this Elents War Zone, the remaining artifacts of each Samsara Realm would only protect Chosen Saints from their respective Realms!
As Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he suddenly felt his vision becoming blurry.
He had reappeared in the snowstorm, the wrecked Wrought Iron Giant remained behind him, silently lying on the ground.
The changes at the horizon were getting increasingly more intense.
The sound of the wind had also gotten much sharper, as if nurous monsters were howling and shrieking in unison.
The dust that swept across the entire world was creeping closer, gradually covering up the previous location of the Palace of Fear.
----there's no ti!
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked back to a level bit of ground and kicked it with his feet.
The humanoid snake's voice ca from underneath:
「 You're crazy! Why haven't you found a place to hide!? 」
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "I don't know anywhere that I could hide"
「 I don't either! 」the monster scread.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and lightly stabbed his blade several centiters into the ground, continuing: "-----No, you definitely do"
He suddenly applied force-----
Shuu!
The monster was pried out of the ground.
"Or would you rather stay up here to sightsee with ?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The monster scread in panic: 「 You devil! I only know that whenever the wind blows, I always sense the presence of living people in the Southeast, now hurry up and let go! 」
Gu Qing Shan pulled his blade back and happily said: "Wouldn't it have been easier if you said that earlier------ by the way, if you rembered the wrong direction, I'll be coming back again"
As he stood up, sparks of irregular lightning began to arc from his body.
-----[Lightning Wraith]!
A single bolt of lightning imdiately flashed across the entire frozen wasteland before disappearing, leaving the giant creeping cloud of dust behind.
