Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 446: Witnesses

Gu Qing Shan was looking forward to Guang Yang sect’s treasury quite a bit.

This was a cultivation world whose civilization far surpassed that of the cultivation world.

Gu Qing Shan brought Shannu, Qing Rou and Wan Er flying towards Xiong Ji Hall together.

On the way, they didn’t run into a single person.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around.

Aside from the four of them, there wasn’t anyone on the entire island.

This wasn’t only limited to Guang Yang sect’s floating island

A strange sense of stifled silence filled every floating island in the sky.

Every sect had forced their cultivators to stay only in certain areas.

Truthfully, there was no need for them to hide since the quarantine formation protects them.

But every sect still enforces this on their disciples during “Danger Hour”

This was a standard iron-clad rule that was established through many painful experiences.

Of course, Qi Yan wasn’t limited by this rule.

As the son of the sect master and one of three Hallmasters, he was entitled to certain perks.

“Wan Er”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped and called out Wan Er.

“I’m here, young master”

“What’s going on there?”

Gu Qing Shan pointed in a certain direction.

Wan Er was a bit surprised and followed to look where Gu Qing Shan was pointing.

Some dark-colored lights were glowing in the sky not too far away from where they were.

The dark-colored lights formed sharp jagged teeth that kept multiplying more and more.

The mouths full of jagged teeth were about 4-5 stories tall, opening and closing their mouths as if anticipating something.

They were the realm demon’s unconscious offshoots.

These offshoots were quickly surrounding a floating island not too far away.

Seeing this, Wan Er’s expression changed greatly.

She couldn’t help but back off, grabbing onto Qing Rou’s arm.

“It’s fine, there’s no need to fear”

Qing Rou softly hugged Wan Er and consoled her.

Wan Er was trembling in extreme fear, sticking close to Qing Rou unable to utter a word.

“Young master” Qing Rou looked at Gu Qing Shan and explained: “The realm demon’s unconscious offshoots senses and observes for the presence of spirit energy. They’re currently surrounding that place to wait”

“What are they waiting for?”

“Waiting for——”

Before Qing Rou finished, the situation changed

The unconscious offshoots had already fully surrounded the island.

An airship was dashing out of the island.

Accurately pin-pointing a gap, the airship sped up abruptly and escaped the encirclement of the offshoots.

Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes to observe it closer.

The light of 7-8 different formations could be seen flickering on the airship, so they’ve obviously taken the necessary safety measures.

One of the formations made the air right outside the airship ripple.

This was the sign of the quarantine formation when activated.

It was thanks to this formation and some others that the realm demon’s unconscious offshoots couldn’t sense their existence.

The airship flashed as it disappeared high in the air.

Countless desperate voices came from the floating island.

“No!!!”

“Sect master, you can’t leave us behind!”

“You stole everything the sect has left, you aren’t worthy to be sect master!”

“Wang Bi Shi, I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!”

Such voices rang out all over the island.

The rest of the light that surrounded the island started to collapse into nothingness.

All their formations had disappeared.

The unconscious offshoots who had been waiting all went into a frenzy.

Opening their large jaws, they all rushed towards the floating island.

A second later, a blinding light shot through the sky.

—–boom!

All the unconscious offshoots were blasted away.

A middle-aged man stood in midair, undoing his hand seal.

The spirit energy waves he gave off was similar to that of Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui.

He was a Virtualized realm late stage cultivator.

Even in this world, he was considered quite a powerful person.

Despite blasting all the offshoots away in an instant, the middle-aged man wasn’t the least bit happy.

He shouted worriedly: “All Elders and disciples, take out any spirit stones you may have stored away and activate the formations quickly, otherwise everyone is going to die!”

The cultivators on the floating island hurriedly scrambled to get their spirit stones.

“Young master, they’re too late” Qing Rou told him in a low voice.

“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

He saw that even Qing Rou who’s always had an aloof expression was now fearful.

She answered: “The realm demon’s conscious offshoots are here, the realm demon had discovered them”

Wan Er struggled to speak: “Look, young master, that’s the realm demon great tree”

Gu Qing Shan looked where she pointed.

Trees of flesh that reached so high they fully covered the sky started to grow from below.

The fleshy trees came from the realm demon.

These trees of flesh quickly grew and became stronger, thicker.

There were so many branches that grew.

Then bright red, juicy fruits began to grow from the branches.

Pop!

The fruits exploded one by one,

Humanoid fleshless bags of skin came out from them, hovering in midair.

Despite being so thin that they were flat, the skin acted like actual cultivators, swinging their limbs around to fly. historical

As a bag of flesh saw the floating island, it began to laugh uncontrollably.

His laughter contains endless grudges as well as endless joy.

“Good. Good!!”

The flesh spoke.

Behind it, the other bags of skin also broke out into frenzied laughter.

“Good, good!”

They all exclaimed.

“Finally, new souls! More people to bear this eternal suffering together with us!” one of the bags of skin spoke.

From the ground, a world-shaking roar came.

The roar seems to be urging them.

The bags of skin all shut up.

Turning into lightning-fast afterimages, they invaded the floating island.

The island fell into chaos.

None of the cultivators managed to be as fast as the bags of skin.

As one of them flashed, it had already wrapped around a cultivator.

In mere seconds, all the flesh on the cultivator’s body was gone, turning into a new bag of skin.

The bag of skin that came from the realm demon great tree was now holding a large bag.

This bag contained that cultivator’s flesh, power and soul, the crystallization of his life.

Through mere contact, a cultivator was already killed.

In the blink of an eye, the entire island had been massacred.

The bags of skin brought their spoils of war back to the realm demon great tree.

The tree opened up gaps to let the bags of skin back in.

The only person left alive was the Virtualized cultivator in the sky.

Groups of bags of skin were being blasted away by him.

“No! It wasn’t supposed to be this way!”

While having the clear advantage, the middle-aged man was screaming in despair and frenzy.

No matter where he wanted to escape to, more bags of skin would come up to stop and encircle him.

For the past while, the middle-aged man hadn’t been able to escape, and the bags of skin couldn’t touch him.

Wan Er’s look of fear became even worse.

Gu Qing Shan was busy staring at the battle in the sky so he didn’t notice that.

Shannu looked over to Wan Er and asked: “What’s with you?”

“The realm demon main body is about to attack, it’s about to attack!”

Wan Er’s voice was still shaking.

“Don’t be scared, Wan Er” Qing Rou quickly consoled her, “there’s only one cultivator left, the realm demon won’t act”

“Really?”

“There’s only a single person left, the realm demon won’t waste strength on him, don’t worry, little Wan Er”

Qing Rou hugged her close and said.

Wan Er didn’t stare at the sky anymore, instead hiding her face into Qing Rou’s chest.

She was very seriously trembling in fear.

Seeing Gu Qing Shan and Shannu glancing over, Qing Rou silently gestured to them with her eyes.

She also sent her voice to explain: “The people of Wan Er’s world were once used by Guang Yang sect as sacrifices to probe for the realm demon’s reactions”

“Wan Er was the only survivor”

“How did she survive?” Gu Qing Shan asked through his inner sight.

“Guang Yang sect decided to stop probing the realm demon, so she was the only lucky survivor”

“Stopped probing?”

“That’s right, Guang Yang sect found that this type of probing was useless and any method they used were unable to let them escape from death, so they gave up on this type of meaningless action”

Out of nowhere, the earth began to shake.

A furious roar echoed across the world.

The smell of death in the air became even thicker.

It was now that the Virtualized realm middle-aged cultivator calmed down.

He laughed bitterly, raising one hand to the sky.

“I, Zhang De Dao, swear to the heaven and earth, through this life and all others, towards the traitor of the sect Wang Bi Sh——”

His oath wasn’t even finished.

But countless suction cups had stuck onto his body.

These suction cups that came from the realm demon’s body moved at a speed to fast no one could catch them before they stuck onto the Virtualized realm cultivator’s body.

This time, even Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

So fast!

Even the Virtualized realm cultivator couldn’t react at all.

With such frightening speed, no one would ever be able to escape the realm demon’s pursuit.

The cultivator was still struggling with all he had.

But when the suction cups stuck everywhere on his body, they started to writhe intensely.

The very next second, the Virtualized realm cultivator was nowhere to be seen anymore.

He was fully devoured by the suction cups, not leaving even his skin behind.

Seeing such a horrifying scene out of nowhere, Gu Qing Shan and Shannu both became speechless.

Qing Rou on the other hand, sighed from relief.

“Little Wan Er, it’s over”

The patted Wan Er’s head, softly telling her: “Look, the realm demon didn’t go mad, there’s nothing to fear”
