Chapter 558: Scattered Entropy Ghost
“Are these people… all dead?”
Laura opened her eyes wide .
The more Gu Qing Shan looked at these dead bodies that maintained the same stance, the creepier he felt .
Noticing the trembling on his shoulder, he changed the subject: “They look a lot like I do, the only difference is the pale blue skin”
“Of course they do . Old Gods created civilization in their own image, so the human form is highly welcomed in all the 900 million World Layers” Laura was easily caught by the new subject .
“Then what did you originally look like?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
“Ah, like this—-”
Saying so, a small pair of dark green wings appeared on Laura’s back .
“The trend this year is dark green wings, since this color is mature and this year was my 12th birthday, I decided to dye it a bit—— but my wings were originally crystal green” she said .
Gu Qing Shan thought about it briefly and asked: “They’re both green, is there a difference?”
“…What a bore, I really can’t talk about this topic with you”
Laura flapped her wings a bit before retracting them .
She was already feeling a bit less fearful .
“I say—-” the black horse stopped and spoke up .
Both Gu Qing Shan and Laura shifted their attention to it .
“Are you two really not out for a stroll? In such a dangerous situation, I briefly felt an air of anxiety, but why did it disappear suddenly?” he asked confusedly .
“Truthfully, I have already thought that I would die several times already, but I am still alive”
Laura put her hand on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder and continued .
“——so I am completely numb now . I do not know how I managed to live up to this point, so I might as well not think about it since he is here”
“Then what if he’s also stumped?” the black horse asked .
“Then I would not come up with anything good either, I will simply lay down and die” Laura replied .
Seeing how Laura wasn’t scared anymore, Gu Qing Shan took a closer look at these corpses .
Urging the horse to move forward, Gu Qing Shan tried putting his hand on the forehead of one of the standing corpses .
Using his spirit energy, he scanned through the corpse’s body .
The corpse’s organs were perfectly fine without a single internal or external wound .
The corpse itself still had a bit of warmth .

It seems they didn’t die too long ago .
If that was the case…
Could it be an attack that affects the soul vessel?
This might be related to the Daemons of hell .
“How exactly is an Entropy Ghost created?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask .
“My father knows, but I tried asking him about it once and he couldn’t eat anything for that entire day” Laura said .
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Earth sword .
The Earth sword answered: 「 It’s an amalgamation of various ghosts and hellspawns, you can imagine what that means by yourself, I don’t want to talk about that process 」
“Fine then, another question . After an Entropy Ghost dies, will it completely disappear? I know it’s a mix of several Daemons from Huang Quan” Gu Qing Shan asked again .
「 Not sure, there’s no precedent of an Entropy Ghost being killed 」the Earth sword said .
“That’s right, it’s likely that no one knows the answer to that” Laura agreed .
Gu Qing Shan recalled what happened when he killed the Entropy Ghost .
It was completely disintegrated by my sword phantoms, disappearing without a trace .
While everyone here died because of a soul vessel attack .
Ghosts and revenants are the best at attacking soul vessels .
Then, could a new type of Ghost have been created from the Entropy Ghost’s body?
Or is it because this world was originally being attacked by some other Ghosts?
—-no, the Old God’s barrier should be really tight, that level of power isn’t something [Origin] can arbitrarily think of various methods to deal with in such a short time .
Ghosts… wait…
Gu Qing Shan suddenly circulated his entire reservoir of spirit energy, erupting with ready to fight with his full power .
The mutated 5-Elemental Lightning spirit energy he possessed circulated all around his body, making his body glow in a blue-white electrical aura .
Since Lightning spirit energy has the Smiting property, it dealt with increased damage to ghosts .
“What are you doing?” Laura was surprised .
“Ghosts are naturally afraid of lightning, so I want to try and eliminate a possibility”
Then Gu Qing Shan shouted: “Scatter!”
The Chao Yin sword, Earth sword, and Six Paths Great Mountain sword all scattered in different directions, flying out of sight in the blink of an eye .

The three swords all flew at maximum speed .
Within a radius of several miles, they were using the Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow] over and over .
After a few moments, the immense sword qi erupted all over .
An endless storm of black sword images expanded like a lotus, silently blooming in the sky .
As the flying swords flew, the entire space around him was filled with sword phantoms, forming an entire sea of swords .
Gu Qing Shan then silently formed a Lightning seal and infused it into his technique!
The black sword images now suddenly contained blue-white arcs of lightning!
Very quickly, the endless sea of swords turned into a sea of lightning .
The flickering lightning erupted in bright flashes, eliminating the darkness around them .
In a split second, the area in a radius of several miles was as bright as day .
Lightning striking in such a large area was a miraculous sight .
At a certain point, one of the corpses twitched .
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became intense .
His mind moved and so did his sword .
With a ‘pop’, the Earth sword suddenly broke out countless Lightning sword phantoms on its flight .
The Chao Yin sword followed suit, also turning into arcs of electrical snakes .
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword circled around the corpse over and over, creating thin strings of lightning with each slash .
All three swords appeared, creating a Lightning cage out of sword phantoms, completely trapping the corpse inside .
The corpse inside the cage suddenly moved .
A large shadow flew out from the body, crashing into the Lightning sword phantoms .
Hiss hiss hiss…!
The sword phantoms left clear white smoke as they slashed its body .
The shadow screeched in a terrifying cry of pain .
—–it’s a ghost!
Only a ghost could be so heavily wounded by just touching Lightning .
Gu Qing Shan was now more sure of his previous conjecture .

The shadow quickly retreated, dashing around the lightning cage, trying to find a gap and escape .
As he carefully looked at it, Gu Qing Shan noticed that this shadow seemed to be created from several dozen others, their varying bodies and figures overlapped, creating for a really uncanny sight .
Shannu appeared and told Gu Qing Shan: “Gongzi, this is a monster of Huang Quan under the seat of Divinity, created from 13 different soul-devouring revenants, made to eat the souls of living beings”
“Why does Huang Quan have such a cruel creature? And why didn’t I see it the last time I was there?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask .
“Last time you were there, the 7-colored spear already massacred everything in Huang Quan once, so of course you didn’t see anything” Shannu answered .
“Can you talk to them?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
“I can’t, they’ve already lost their sentience, they only know how to kill now” Shannu shook her head .
“Could they be born from the Entropy Ghost’s body after it was destroyed?”
“It’s possible, but then if that’s the case…”
Shannu’s expression slowly became grim .
Gu Qing Shan also understood and quickly asked the Earth sword: “How many Huang Quan ghosts and revenants does it take to make an Entropy Ghost?”
The Earth sword replied: 「 There are a total of 808 hellspawns, 1600 ghosts and revenants in Hell . I’m not sure how many of them are needed exactly, but at least half of them is needed, otherwise it couldn’t take form 」
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank .
If his guest was correct, then a single Entropy Ghost could scatter into at least 1204 other ghosts .
“And I killed 11 Entropy Ghosts just now…”
He muttered .
If all the Entropy Ghosts all scattered into ghosts and revenants, that would mean…
Thinking of that possibility, even Laura who has been listening on the side started to tremble .
At this time, some strange noises came from the road ahead of them .
“We need to stop a bit and discuss this”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan put Laura on the horse’s back and jumped down .
Waving his hand, the three swords performed powerful attacks that directly destroyed all 13 soul-devouring revenants .
They then returned and hovered behind his back .
“I’m going to take a look, you two wait here” he told Laura and the horse .
Laura looked around .
Besides Gu Qing Shan and herself, there wasn’t a single living person here, only a few corpses a bit further away .
These corpses maintained their postures while they were alive, standing absolutely still .
Their facial expressions showed indescribable pain, as if they were hit by extreme fear .
Complete silence .
In the dark of night, this entire city seemed to be dead .
A cold breeze blew past, delivering a chill .
If the Entropy Ghost really did scatter into countless ghosts…
Thinking that, Laura started trembling without being able to stop .
“Gu Qing Shan, I’m scared” she called out .
“Don’t worry, I’ll just go take a look and return right away!” Gu Qing Shan said .
Laura sniffled, sobbing as she insisted: “But I’m really scared”
Gu Qing Shan could only return and put her back on his shoulder .
“Comfortable?” he asked .
Laura strongly nodded .
“I’ll go take a look with her a bit, you can wait here” Gu Qing Shan told the black horse .
He then went ahead together with Laura .
The black horse stared at their backs, then around himself .
On his right, about 30 meters away, a corpse had its mouth and eyes opened wide, apparently screaming in fear at his direction .
Staring for a few moments, the corner of the corpse’s mouth seemed to curl up just a bit .
Did that corpse just smile?
The black horse opened his eyes wide trying to take a closer look, noticing that the corpse’s expression was still that of fright without any hint of a smile .
The black horse went silent, then sighed: “Is a horse not allowed to be scared as well?”
He quickly chased after Gu Qing Shan and Laura .
