Chapter 1762: The Samsara’s retaliation

In the darkness.

Fresh blood flowed.

Lines of bloody red text continuously popped up one after another:

[Attention!]

[Under uncontrollable circumstances, the Coin of the Earth has made a decision]

[The Coin of the Earth has released its full power to help you invoke the true power of the Earth God: Virtue]

[Virtue: The true power of a Saint Pillar (unique)]

[Description: By selecting a source of attack, all damage caused by that source will be jointly shared by you and your surroundings. You will gain the seed of that attack’s power, then nurture it through the power of the Earth God until you obtain it as your own]

[To provide for all, nurture all, and grow all, such is the Virtue of the Earth]

[You must fully grasp one seed of power before you can invoke Virtue once again]

The lightning giant quickly skimmed through these notifications while lying at the bottom of the hole.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The ground could be heard continuously rumbling.

The lightning giant laid motionlessly, but he was experiencing a miraculous sensation.

The ground around his surroundings—

No, this entire region itself.

The whole region had just received that previous attack together with him.

The all-destructive power from before is continuously flowing out from my body and is being absorbed by the ground, sharing the damage and force of that ferocious attack.

That’s why Luo Shui city was erased in an instant.

And this damage sharing persists even now.

The injuries I suffered earlier are gradually becoming lighter and fading away.

Otherwise, I would have already died.

「 How ridiculous 」

The lightning giant seemed to have sensed something and took a deep breath before struggling to stand back up.

Once again, everything around him fell into silence.

All the noises had been removed.

「 GARRGHHHH! 」

The lightning giant uttered a resounding roar and took out a giant axe of lightning from thin air.

He tried raising the lightning axe as high as possible.

At almost the same time, from far above the sky, the blindingly brilliant light once again descended.

Like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth, or perhaps a feat of god, the brilliant light crashed into the ground in a flash.

As the light came into contact with the lightning axe, the axe was instantly crushed, offering no protection as the lightning struck the lightning giant.

The ground around him completely broke apart.

The intense shockwaves rampaged across and through the land, scattering dirt and rock all over the place.

「 Want to kill me? Dream on! 」

The lightning giant roared. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

His body was covered in terrifying wounds, but the wounds only appeared without actually spreading or becoming worse.

On the other hand, the entire region of land under his feet had been dug completely through.

However, the void of space around him seemed to be fluctuating as well, seemingly helping him share the damage.

The blinding pillar of light flickered and gradually faded away.

The lightning giant fell to his knee under the deep hole, unable to keep himself from breathing heavily.

Both the void and the earth had shared the full brunt of that attack with him.

This was the reason why he was still alive.

「 Hoh… hoh… hoh… 」

The giant continuously breathed heavily, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Immediately after that, his surroundings once again fell into silence.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

The terrifying silence right before a tsunami hits.

The same attack is coming for the third time!

The giant’s pupils become dilated.

Although the damage I suffered is only about 1/1000 of the attack’s full power, I can’t keep taking damage like this, or I’ll eventually die to the infinite number of attacks.

Right at this point, a few lines of bloody red text appeared in front of his vision:

[Attention, the Sequence had used the remaining portions of its power to help you absorb the power of the Awaitings of Chaos, this process cannot be interrupted, so the Sequence will not be able to aid you]

[But you must persist]

[Persist!]

The lightning giant silently read these notifications.

He spat out some blood and coldly replied: 「 Nonsense… if I didn’t persist, I wouldn’t be able to surrender regardless 」

The giant uttered a battle cry and tried to stand up again.

He struggled to raise his hand and pointed up towards the void of space above his head.

Layers upon layers of glittering lightning began to manifest out of thin air, which stacked on top of one another all the way up.

[Domain of the Tribulation Lord]!

The giant shifted his body and spread his legs to form a defensive posture with his entire body.

At the very next moment.

The night sky once again became day.

A blinding pillar of light pierced through the heaven to crash upon the giant.

All the walls of lightning on the way were easily crushed and erased without leaving anything behind.

Bang!!!

The pillar of light once again struck the giant.

「 GAH! 」

The giant put up both hands in front of himself, trying to block as much as possible.

Under his feet, the ground continued to collapse, being reduced to fine dust as the intense shockwaves were being blown back into the air like a tornado.

The giant continued to be pushed into the ground by the descending pillar.

He was holding his breath while using every last ounce of strength he possessed to block the pillar.

The earth, the void, all things.

Everything was helping him share the damage he received.

But this level of attack wasn’t something that the giant could resist.

Even after using his entire strength, he was still nearly dead.

Boom!

Right as his consciousness was about to fade, he felt his back touching something.

That something seemed to contain an infinite amount of Wind spirit energy, the sheer volume of which instantly took a huge amount of damage for him.

The giant’s consciousness quickly returned and couldn’t help himself from turning around.

He was standing in front of a bunch of Wind Spirit Stones that had been piled up at the center of a formation.

So this place was the Elements Purgatory!

At some unknown point, he had been struck so far underground that he had directly entered the Elements Purgatory!

As if it has been waiting for this, lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up in front of his vision:

[This attack has interfered with the progress of the Samsara’s reset]

[Persevere for a bit longer, you will be saved!]

The giant gritted his teeth and continued trying to block the force of the light pillar.

At the very next moment.

Something unusual seemed to have occurred.

The entirety of the Elements Purgatory suddenly vanished.

The world was nowhere to be seen.

The giant had also left the main world.

The pillar of light that had been attacking him also vanished, no longer able to damage him.

The giant finally had time to catch his breath, his injuries were no longer worsening.

He sat down tiredly on the spot and looked around himself.

「 This is… a Phase Realm? 」

The giant confusedly muttered.

He was witnessing a scene, unlike anything he had seen before.

The entire world, from the sky to the ground, was composed of numerous caskets.

Caskets of varying sizes were lined up neatly next to one another, filling up his vision as far as it could go.

This entire world was filled with a sense of indescribable stifling eeriness, with countless sharp shrieking and moaning voices in the void of space that seemed to directly affect one’s psyche.

If a normal person was here, they would go mad in a mere second.

The giant finally used up all of his power and returned to his human form, unable to maintain his transformation any longer.

It was Gu Qing Shan.

He dropped down to his knee, unable to care about the wounds all over his body and asked: “What exactly is going on here?”

A line of bloody red text appeared in reply to him:

[Do you remember what the Samsara is?]

“I heard it was the ultimate weapon of living beings” Gu Qing Shan replied.

[That attack earlier had affected the Elements Purgatory and interrupted the Samsara’s reset, so the Samsara is about to retaliate] the Sequence explained.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and looked at the caskets around him, muttering: “It has only just reset, currently in its weakest state, and it still has excessive power to retaliate with?”

The Sequence answered: [Originally, I shouldn’t have been this nosy, but you need to have a better perspective]

[You underestimate it too much, everything it’s done so far has been to test the Chosen Saints – its future wielder]

[There is a reason… why it was recognized as the ultimate weapon of living beings]

[You only need to observe what comes next…]

After explaining this, the Sequence returned to silence.

Gu Qing Shan seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked around himself again.

The caskets around him began to open.

Entities donning yaksha masks began to emerge from the caskets, both small and large.

There were male, female, humans, wraiths, Asura, and even non-Samsara entities as well as never-before-seen monsters among these masked entities.

These entities had different physiques, some were about the same size as a human, but there were also some as large as mountains, the only common point between them was the fact that they all had a yaksha mask on their faces.

“Are they all… entities that had fallen… to the Wraith realm?”

Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.

A wraith wearing a yaksha mask depicting a grim expression stepped forward, seemingly the leader of this group.

It slowly looked up towards the void of space.

All the other entities mimicked its movement.

The wraith spat out a single word without a hint of emotion in its voice: 「 Retrieve 」

Its voice was empty and dead, its movements stiff and slow, but everything it did immediately resulted in changes.

Within this entire world.

All the caskets opened with a bang, from which numerous masked entities leapt out and into the sky.

Like a torrent, they rushed into the void of space and vanished from this world.

Enduring his aching wounds, Gu Qing Shan continued to observe this.

This is a secret of the Samsara, so if something so serious hadn’t occurred, I wouldn’t have been able to witness this.

Furthermore, all of them are wraiths.

Could it be because I’m the successor of the Wraith realm that the Samsara only utilized the power of this realm?

He didn’t have to wait for very long.

The void of space fluctuated once again.

An eight-armed monster whose entire body was composed of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The monster was several meters tall and immediately attempted to struggle as it appeared.

「 Release me! I am the Supreme Lord of Annihilation, you—– 」

Before it could finish speaking, the void of space fluctuated again.

Numerous wraiths reappeared.

The monster hurriedly released a blinding pillar of light towards those masked entities.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

It was that pillar of light that attacked me earlier!

He quickly shifted his gaze towards the masked entities.

Only to see that those masked entities either avoided the attack without much trouble or blocked it with a wave of their hand, even the ones who were struck simply halted briefly without being visibly harmed.

They didn’t display any emotions or make any sort of reaction, instead simply surrounded the monster and continued to attack the void of space around it.

One after another, long tubes that were hidden in the void of space were made to appear, then ripped, destroyed, and cut off.

Originally, the tubes were all connected to the eight-armed light monster, but all of them were now destroyed.

The eight-armed light monster finally started to panic.

「 No! I didn’t intend to attack the Samsara 」

It loudly explained itself.

But none of the masked entities reacted to it at all.

The ground gradually shifted with some loud noises.

A brand new casket had emerged from underneath.

The masked entities all moved forward to grab the eight-armed light monster and shoved it into the casket.

Slam.

The casket was closed.

Intense screaming and struggling could be heard from inside the casket.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

And the casket returned to silence.

It simply stood there, becoming one of the numerous other caskets within this world.

Gu Qing Shan observed this entire scene with considerable shock.

A few lines of bloody red text appeared:

[You are about to leave the current Phase Realm]

[The Samsara’s retaliation has ended, no one will be so reckless again in the near future]

[Warning: You have sustained severe injuries, enough to die!]

Gu Qing Shan felt his vision becoming blurry.

In an instant, the world of caskets vanished in front of his eyes.

He had returned to a vast world of empty land.

The Human realm!

Gu Qing Shan coughed up some blood and collapsed.

“Hoh… hoh… hoh…”

He was breathing heavily and felt his consciousness quickly fading away.

I’ve been injured quite severely this time…

I wonder if Xiao Lou, Li An, and the rest managed to escape.

If they had all been sent into Huang Quan and I’m like this, wouldn’t the situation be really critical?

With the last of his consciousness, Gu Qing Shan took out the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

As the orchid started to hover, Gu Qing Shan fell unconscious.

Fortunately, [Moon Invitation] was successfully activated!

Numerous red threads had emerged out of thin air and weaved themselves into a gate.

The gate opened with a slam!

A feminine figure emerged from inside.

She crouched down and embraced Gu Qing Shan without hesitation.

[…Qing Shan...]

She whispered under her breath.
