Earth-shattering Secret

At this moment, Gu Qingshan possessed a total of five archery skills: Wind Riding (Passive), Barrage, Hundred Steps Piercing Willow, Rapid Shot, and Chaotic Dance (Beginner).

Among these, Hundred Steps Piercing Willow was a high-level precision skill, Wind Riding was a passive skill that constantly enhanced the arrow's flight speed, and both Rapid Shot and Barrage were practical archery skills.

As for Chaotic Dance, it was a unique, growth-type skill with the potential to evolve into a 'near-God Skill' in the future.

These were all skills that one could only hope to encounter.

Even those powerful, general-level cultivators might not necessarily have mastered these high-level skills.

Having comprehended the skills within the Night Rain Bow, Gu Qingshan's only remaining weakness was his cultivation level.

A Blood-Drinking Demon fell from the Five Peaks, tumbling as it stood up. It looked up and immediately spotted the array, rushing towards it.

It was fortunate enough to have avoided serious injuries, preserving seventy to eighty percent of its combat power. The upcoming battle to break into the formation was precisely its forte.

Gu Qingshan raised the Night Rain Bow, taking a deep breath.

Wind Riding!

Barrage!

Hundred Steps Piercing Willow!

Arrows poured out like streams of light, striking the Blood-Drinking Demon before it could react.

In an instant, the Blood-Drinking Demon was blasted dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a towering tree and spitting out a mouthful of bloody mist.

Gu Qingshan was so shocked that he forgot to continue shooting.

The Blood-Drinking Demon was comparable to a Golden Core stage cultivator.

The power of a single arrow had skipped two major realms, blasting the Blood-Drinking Demon away.

For archery to be this powerful was simply heaven-defying.

Gu Qingshan forced himself to calm down, silently estimating the consumption of Spiritual Power.

That single arrow had used up ninety percent of his Spiritual Power.

No, this was too draining.

With Gu Qingshan's total Spiritual Power, he could only unleash such an attack once.

After that, he would be at their mercy.

In fact, archery skills like Barrage were prepared for Golden Core stage cultivators, with Nascent Soul stage cultivators being able to unleash its full power.

Prematurely comprehending such a high-level archery skill meant that a Qi Refining stage cultivator's Spiritual Power would inevitably be unable to support Gu Qingshan in prolonged combat.

Even Gongsun Zhi glanced at Gu Qingshan in surprise.

"Oh? This kid is so monstrous in archery? Interesting."

Gongsun Zhi secretly raised his evaluation of Gu Qingshan.

The Blood-Drinking Demon, covered in blood, roared as it stood up, desperately trying to rush forward and tear that annoying Human Race into pieces.

A continuous stream of arrows flew towards it, causing its body to constantly falter, preventing it from advancing even a step for a long while.

This time, Gu Qingshan did not use Barrage.

His archery skill had reached such a height that even ordinary shots possessed immense power.

Logically, Gu Qingshan was only at the Qi Refining stage and could not possibly contend with the Blood-Drinking Demon.

However, the Blood-Drinking Demon had first been injured by the array, and was also far away from Gu Qingshan. It was crippled by a powerful archery skill in one blow, and then, stray arrows poured down, blocking its advance.

The Blood-Drinking Demon's close-quarters combat ability was terrifying, but it had not unlocked the Five Elements and had no ranged attack methods.

Separated by Gongsun Zhi's several defensive arrays, it could not rush over in a hurry.

Arrows pierced into its body with great impact, and none missed, rapidly deepening its injuries, causing the Blood-Drinking Demon to feel fear.

No, this Human Race's bow and arrow is too powerful, I must fight with all my strength!

The Blood-Drinking Demon curled up into a ball, and the next moment, a cold and evil aura emanated from its body.

Gu Qingshan's eyes twitched slightly at the sight.

Gongsun Zhi's expression also changed. He placed his hands on the Array Disc, quickly setting up a defensive formation.

Gongsun Zhi shouted, "Careful, it's going to use Yin Fire Burst!"

Yin Fire Burst is a Five Elements Fire Rend Spell mixed with Underworld Yin Qi. Its power is immense, enough to blast a hole in a formation.

Since its birth, the Blood-Drinking Demon had been accumulating Underworld Yin Qi within its body. When the time came to risk its life, it would sacrifice its life in exchange for a chance to cast a Five Elements Spell.

The Underworld Yin Qi would completely detonate through the fire-type spell.

The Blood-Drinking Demon would only use such an attack once, at the moment of its death.

In the previous encounters, this move had given Gongsun Zhi a headache.

Gu Qingshan quickly drew out a Python Fang Poison Arrow, nocked it on the Night Rain Bow, and shot.

Hundred Steps Piercing Willow!

Chaotic Dance!

The five arrows transformed into gray shadows, rapidly cutting through the sky. They avoided the Blood-Drinking Demon's arms, which were raised in defense, with unpredictable arcs, and simultaneously pierced its occiput.

Pfft!

The arrows pierced in unison, making only one sound.

Dark green blood flowed from the Blood-Drinking Demon's ears.

With a muffled thud, the Blood-Drinking Demon fell to the ground, the Underworld Yin Qi gathered around its body gradually dissipating.

"Killed a high-level monster: Blood-Drinking Demon, gained 30 Soul Power. Current Soul Power: 30/7."

With 30 Soul Power in hand, Gu Qingshan thought for a moment and realized that he had no skills to learn.

Gongsun Zhi looked at Gu Qingshan in surprise and praised, "Good archery! To have comprehended so many archery killing moves at such a young age. Once your cultivation improves, you'll be fit to be a general."

Gu Qingshan waved the Night Rain Bow and Python Fang Poison Arrow in his hand and said, "The equipment is good, and I also relied on Senior's formation for cover."

The Python Demon's fangs were limited, and each one used was one less, but in this critical situation, Gu Qingshan couldn't afford to hold back.

Gongsun Zhi shook his head and said, "You deserve the praise. When I was your age, I was still studying basic formations while clutching an Array Disc."

Boom!

Above the high clouds, a thunderous roar echoed in all directions.

Gongsun Zhi and Gu Qingshan looked up and saw Ning Yuechan retreating rapidly in the air. Her golden armor shone brightly, and the snow-white cloak behind her fluttered incessantly in the strong wind.

Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and asked, "General Gongsun, do you have any other ways to contact the outside world?"

Gongsun Zhi felt a little ashamed when he heard the question.

If he hadn't hesitated just now, perhaps the Communication Talisman would have been sent out.

Once a Saint arrived, the three of them would no longer have to worry about their lives.

But now that the Faceless Giant had arrived and had the ability to absorb Spiritual Power, it was likely that no message could be sent out.

Gongsun Zhi hesitated slightly and sighed, "The only way is to go to the Divine Martial World. There are teleportation arrays set up by us there."

Divine Martial World?

What was that?

Gu Qingshan stared blankly at him, suddenly realizing something.

A cold sweat broke out on his body.

At this moment, he seemed to be led by Gongsun Zhi, delving deep into the lost history, to witness an earth-shattering secret.

Gongsun Zhi said, "You may not know, but that is a destroyed world."

Gu Qingshan exclaimed, "Besides this world, is there another world?"

In his previous life, he had never heard of other worlds until the Apocalypse arrived.

When the game descended upon the real world, its name was "Worlds' Apocalypse Online."

At first, this name caused widespread attention and controversy.

All people knew were the cultivation world connected by the game, and the real world.

Could just two worlds be called the "Worlds"?

Later, after people became familiar with and adapted to traveling between the two worlds, they never found the answer to this question. In addition, the situation became more and more severe day by day, and tens of thousands of people died in the hands of Demons every day.

Gradually, no one cared to study this issue anymore.

Gongsun Zhi said, "Yes, behind the Demon Monarch Imperial Court, there is a Void Turbulence leading to that destroyed world."

Gu Qingshan asked, "You went in?"

Gongsun Zhi said, "Yes, in one world, we found dozens of corpses of peerless experts, initially judged to be Martial Gods at the peak of Martial Arts."

The peak of Martial Arts—that was a Martial God!

Martial Gods were legendary existences, and even in this cultivation world, they were extremely rare and the strongest beings.

Among the Three Saints, one of them was a Martial God.

Even Gu Qingshan, who was used to all kinds of horrors of the Apocalypse, couldn't help but be a little lost at this moment.

He said to himself, "Dozens of Martial God corpses... with such powerful combat power, the world was still destroyed..."

Gongsun Zhi sighed, "Yes, I don't know why, the Demon Kings have long locked onto us and will never allow us to meet anyone again and reveal this secret."

He looked at Gu Qingshan and said in a deep voice, "Meeting you was completely beyond their and our expectations."

This book is called Worlds' Apocalypse Online. Only after writing this chapter can it be considered as breaking the topic. The following story will become more and more exciting. I shamelessly ask for collections and recommendation tickets. Thank you everyone!
