Chapter 47: Calamity Source Seed! Sound the Level One Alarm!

"No need for a Sacrificial Mark? What kind of special method does this Gadi actually have to carry out a secret invasion?"

Zhou Chu could not help but furrow his brows.

He had previously heard Xiduo say that after implementing an invasion plan through a Sacrificial Mark, the implementer's strength would be greatly weakened.

And Xina was the one whose original strength had been weakened by such a thing as a Sacrificial Mark.

If the Xina that Zhou Chu had encountered back then had not been weakened by a Sacrificial Mark, the situation would likely not have been what it was.

It was just unclear how much of a chance of winning Xina and Xiduo would have against this Gadi.

At the thought of potentially having to face a true powerhouse of the Calamity Legion, Zhou Chu could not help but feel a bit uneasy.

Just then, Xiduo's voice suddenly appeared in Zhou Chu's mind.

"Master, Gadi is the leader of the Calamity Legion's assassination squad and possesses the unique ability of Void Evasion."

"Void Evasion allows him to be unimpeded by Abyss Rifts and travel freely between multiple spaces; taking a person's life is done in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace."

Xiduo said this to Zhou Chu via Spirit Whisper.

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu could not help but gasp.

Escaping into the void.

Killing without a trace.

This Gadi sounded like he would not be easy to deal with.

Zhou Chu's expression was grave as he tried to respond to Xiduo in his mind.

"Xiduo, do we have any way to restrain his Void Evasion? If he can travel through space at will to kill, this is too dangerous for us."

Xiduo's voice came again: "Master, my sonic attack might be able to temporarily interfere with his Void Evasion, but it cannot stop it completely. Furthermore, this requires me to consume a massive amount of energy; once the consumption is excessive, Gadi might become uncontrollable."

Zhou Chu gritted his teeth: "No matter what, we cannot let him succeed easily. Since we know his methods, we must think of countermeasures. This Secret Realm Tower is of great importance and must absolutely not become an invasion site for the Calamity Legion."

"Yes, Master!"

Zhou Chu pondered for a moment and said to the Calamity Rift Demon: "Do you know where your Lord Gadi is right now?"

The Calamity Rift Demon replied tremblingly: "Reporting to Lord Xina, Lord Gadi is elusive; how would a lowly one like me know?"

Zhou Chu asked again: "Then does he have any habits or characteristics that he displays before launching an invasion?"

The Calamity Rift Demon looked at Zhou Chu somewhat strangely, wearing an expression that suggested he was asking the obvious.

But he still obediently said: "Before every action Lord Gadi takes, the surrounding Calamity Aura becomes exceptionally intense, like thick, dark fog, and some small Calamity creatures will gather for no reason..."

Hearing this account from the Calamity Rift Demon, Zhou Chu could not help but rub his forehead.

It was as good as saying nothing.

However, this Calamity Rift Demon was only a B-Grade demon, actually just an expendable minor character in the Calamity Legion.

And at most, he could be considered Main General-Rank.

He was sent to be cannon fodder, so the things he could know were indeed very limited.

But fortunately, he had learned the news that the Calamity Legion was going to secretly invade the Secret Realm Tower.

That was already enough.

As for how to deal with this Gadi who excelled in the ability of Void Evasion, Zhou Chu could only play it by ear.

"Fine, since that's the case, you can go die!"

A cruel smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Chu's face.

Amidst the Calamity Rift Demon's terrified expression, a chain covered in cold air pierced through his body, instantly turning him into a pile of ice shards.

However, the message for clearing the level did not arrive.

It was evident that something was still hidden on the top floor of the Secret Realm Tower, causing the Secret Realm Tower to misjudge and preventing the mechanism from being triggered.

No need to think; it must be related to Gadi's invasion.

At this moment, a tense atmosphere permeated the empty top floor of the Secret Realm Tower.

This Gadi might use Void Evasion to launch a sneak attack at any time.

To prevent danger from occurring, Zhou Chu's body remained attached to Xina's.

This would also be safer.

Just then, in the very center of the top floor, one could faintly see a series of dim, purple rays of light flickering weakly.

At the same time, Zhou Chu could clearly feel wisps of Calamity Aura drifting outward continuously from this purple point of light.

Zhou Chu could not help but frown.

This aura was simply too familiar.

It was exactly the same as those Magic Source Cores he had destroyed in the Demon Cave.

"It's a Calamity Source Seed!"

Xiduo's voice came once again.

"A Calamity Source Seed can grow by absorbing Calamity Power or Soul Power energy until it grows into a Magic Source Core!"

So that was it!

As the guardian general of the Magic Source Core in the No. 55 Demon Cave, Xiduo was all too familiar with this thing.

He had not expected that this Gadi had already quietly planted a dangerous seed on the top floor of the Secret Realm Tower in advance.

Once this Calamity Source Seed grew into a Magic Source Core, the Secret Realm Tower would fall and become a Demon Cave.

In just three days, incidents of Calamity Invasion like this had happened twice in Guangtian Hua City.

And all of them were encountered inadvertently while Zhou Chu was grinding Copies and climbing the tower.

From this, it could be seen that Calamity Invasion events had already blossomed everywhere throughout Shenxia.

Such matters had to be reported as soon as possible; it had reached a point where it could not be delayed for a moment.

Fortunately, before the Calamity Source Seed grows up, there is a way to solve everything.

It is enough to just pull out the planted seed.

Zhou Chu walked forward a few steps and reached out his hand, wanting to pick up the Calamity Source Seed.

However, he was surprised to find that at this moment, the Calamity Source Seed had firmly adhered to the ground and could not be pried off no matter what.

The spot it was adhered to was precisely the core of the entire Secret Realm Tower, which was also the Energy Source Stone that maintained the operation of the Secret Realm Tower.

Once the energy in the Energy Source Stone is drained by the Calamity Source Seed, it will turn the Secret Realm Tower into a dead tower.

At that time, everything in the entire Secret Realm Tower will suddenly stop, and there is even a danger of it collapsing with a boom.

Clearly, this Calamity Source Seed had been planted for some time, its magic roots had gone deep, and it was already impossible to remove it by hand.

It could only be dealt with using the method for dealing with a Magic Source Core.

Fortunately, Zhou Chu had prepared in advance and had privately asked Jia Mengshan for another Purification Stone before leaving the station.

It came in handy at this moment.

As Zhou Chu already held the military rank of Exorcism Military Officer, it was only natural for him to carry one or two Purification Stones with him.

However, the current Secret Realm Tower was still in a state of not having been cleared.

Logically speaking, the Storage Space on Zhou Chu's person should be temporarily locked, making it impossible to retrieve any items.

But it just so happened that Zhou Chu's Life Soul Artifact, Dead Man's Coffin, was not restricted by this at all, and he could retrieve the things inside at will.

In fact, if others knew, they would certainly conclude that Zhou Chu was cheating in this tower climb.

But the appearance of his golden finger had already made Zhou Chu the strongest cheat in this world.

Zhou Chu did not hesitate in the slightest and quickly took out the Purification Stone from his Life Soul Artifact, Dead Man's Coffin.

As soon as this Purification Stone appeared, it emitted a soft yet powerful light.

Wherever the light reached, the Calamity Aura seemed to shrink back slightly.

At this time, the Calamity Source Seed seemed to sense a huge threat; it began to tremble violently and released an even thicker Calamity Aura in an attempt to resist.

The light of the Purification Stone also grew increasingly intense, colliding with the Calamity Aura of the Calamity Source Seed.

From time to time, it emitted a "sizzle" sound.

At this moment, in the Monitoring Hall, everyone felt very strange as they watched the green dot on the screen suddenly stop moving.

"Why is that child Zhou Chu standing there without moving? Could it be that he is in a stalemate with the final boss? Or is there some unexpected situation?"

Liu Lanzhi's gaze was fixed on that motionless light dot, and she kept pondering in her mind.

Just at this moment, the remote monitoring alarm device of the Secret Realm Tower emitted an urgent alarm.

【Attention! Attention! The Secret Realm Tower Monitoring System has detected an external force implementing an intrusion, causing energy leakage!】

【Attention! Attention! The Secret Realm Tower Monitoring System has detected an external force implementing an intrusion, causing energy leakage!】

A series of alarm voice sounds suddenly rang out throughout the entire Monitoring Hall.

An external force intrusion?

How is this possible?

Liu Lanzhi's expression changed suddenly, but she did not dare to hesitate in the slightest and immediately shouted: "Everyone, enter a state of emergency alert immediately! Sound the level-one alarm and have all tower climbers leave the tower quickly!"
