Chapter 1892

Compared to the astonishing power of Dead Silence Descends, Su Xiao was more interested in the consumption of this ability. This ability, no matter how one looked at it, seemed to be purifying the Dead City.

Every time Su Xiao used this ability, a portion of the Dead City would disappear, being used as the consumption for activating the ability. When the Dead City completely disappeared, Dead Silence Descends could be upgraded.

Su Xiao sensed the injuries in his body. The sword wound on his abdomen still stung, but his health had already recovered to about 30%.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao decided to activate Set Effect 1, to undergo the baptism of will.

Just after activating Set Effect 1, Undying Will (Passive), Su Xiao's vision fell into darkness.

A tall figure stood in the darkness; it was the Black King's consciousness.

"You, are qualified."

The darkness in front of Su Xiao's eyes faded. He didn't suffer any kind of consciousness impact, only hearing the sentence "You, are qualified."

Su Xiao pressed one hand to his chest, sensing the changes in himself. Just at this moment, a pure black energy gushed out from the bracer and sank into his body.

This energy disappeared as soon as it entered Su Xiao's body, most of it merging into his muscles, bones, and blood, and the remaining part entering his head.

The change was more sudden than Su Xiao had imagined. He could feel his cell activity increasing rapidly. This was more obvious than when strengthening his physical attributes, and the increase was even more astonishing.

The most intuitive feeling was that the stinging pain in Su Xiao's abdomen was rapidly fading, and a wisp of white mist emerged from the wounds on his body, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just over ten minutes, the discomfort all over Su Xiao's body disappeared, and his health recovered to 100%. However, even so, his whole body was still weak. Severe exhaustion couldn't be recovered by permanently increasing health.

Su Xiao had never been so severely exhausted. After Hunter Time ended, he would naturally be exhausted, and coupled with his continuous use of the Blood Beast, one could imagine how weak he was now.

【Hint: The baptism of will has ended.】

【Your maximum health limit has been permanently increased by 50%.】

【Your Willpower has been permanently increased by 35 points.】

After Su Xiao moved his much lighter body, he immediately activated Set Effect 2, preparing to accept the Sun King's test.

Crack~

The stone statue on the inside of the sacrificial altar opened one eye. The Sun King just glanced at Su Xiao, and then turned back into a stone statue.

"That's... it?"

Su Xiao looked at the Sun King's stone statue in confusion. The Sun King had no reaction. Seeing this, he checked the set effect again.

Set Effect 1, Undying Will (Passive): Before health drops below 5%, the Hunter will not enter a near-death state. If one enters a near-death state, one will only be slightly affected by the near-death state until death.

Set Effect 2, Day's Time (Passive): All attributes of the Hunter's followers, summoned creatures, and familiars are permanently increased by 10% (excluding Luck attribute), and the Hunter permanently increases 3 summon slots.

Set Effect 3, Dead Silence Descends (Set Ultimate Ability · Active)...

Su Xiao didn't feel anything on his side, but Xiang Bubu Wang and Amu had quite a reaction. Two gentle white lights were wrapping them inside.

Xiang Bubu Wang twisted its body not far away, adapting to its gradually strengthening attributes. The 10% increase in all attributes brought Xiang Bubu Wang's five attributes to:

Strength: 87 points (increased by 8 points)

Agility: 91 (True attribute, increased by 8 points)

Stamina: 88 (increased by 8 points)

Intelligence: 49 (increased by 4 points)

Charisma: 98 (True attribute, increased by 9 points)

As for Amu, it was in a coma, but this guy's True Stamina attribute had reached 110 points, higher than Su Xiao's, and its ability to take hits was significantly increased.

Amu was also frustrated. When others became stronger, they were better at beating people up, but it was the opposite; it was better at taking hits and enduring worse beatings.

After Amu increased its Stamina attribute, although its injuries hadn't fully healed, they were alleviated a lot. At least it was no longer in danger of life.

Su Xiao still had 29.2 of the Source of Darkness, but he only needed 15% to be enough, which was to upgrade the Blood Beast three times.

Su Xiao stood in front of the Dark Star Stone and pressed one hand on it. This time, there was no blood energy explosion.

The process of upgrading the Blood Beast was smoother than Su Xiao had imagined. He had used the Blood Beast twice in a row before, and the blood energy in his body had been squeezed dry. The most troublesome problem with upgrading the Blood Beast was being eroded by blood energy.

When Su Xiao moved his hand away from the Dark Star Stone, red light flickered in his eyes. This was a slight side effect of upgrading the Blood Beast.

Su Xiao checked the Blood Beast. The Blood Beast didn't undergo a qualitative change, but the total damage intensity reached 6370 points (4753 basic damage + 1617 points of damage ignoring physical defense).

If the Blood Beast had this kind of power when fighting the Black King, the battle would never have been as tragic as it was now.

Although the remaining Source of Darkness was a bit of a pity, Su Xiao didn't have a third talent ability. He called Xiang Bubu Wang to test it, but Xiang Bubu Wang couldn't use the Dark Star Stone.

Su Xiao had completed everything he needed to do. He arrived in front of the Sun King's stone statue.

"Let us leave the Dead City."

Su Xiao had known before that he could leave the Dead City from the Sun King. Before, the Sun King had intended to let Su Xiao leave, but Su Xiao had refused. Judging from the Old Shaman opening the door to the Dead City, this method was either developed by the Black King or the Sun King.

"As you wish."

Cracks appeared on the wall behind the Sun King, and the cracks formed a door shape.

Click, click...

A door covered in black rust opened. Veronica stepped forward, her eyes filled with tears.

"Are we leaving now? Yes, it must be."

Veronica grabbed Su Xiao's arm, and the meaning expressed by those eyes was: "Please, let's leave. I'm just an ordinary transcendent. This place really doesn't suit me. I can't even beat the weakest resident of the Dead City."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just carried Amu and walked into the black rust door, with Xiang Bubu Wang and Veronica following closely behind.

"I hope... you can end this land of dead silence. Father, do you think he can do it?"

The Sun King spoke, his eyes now one black and one white.

"Someone who can defeat me can certainly end this place."

A deep voice came. The pitch-black in the Sun King's right eye faded rapidly. The Black King had lost, and now what remained was only a small part of his consciousness, and this consciousness was also about to dissipate.

With a boom, the black rust door closed, and the Dead City returned to dead silence.

The light and shadow in front of Su Xiao's eyes twisted. He felt a force pulling him in the surroundings.

With a thud, light appeared in front of Su Xiao. The strong light made him subconsciously squint his eyes.

Su Xiao's gaze swept around. Dozens of pairs of astonished eyes were looking at him.

"Lord... Kuku Lin?"

A somewhat familiar voice came. Su Xiao turned his head to look; it was Wufu.

The place where Su Xiao was wasn't unfamiliar. He was currently in the middle hall of the palace, beside the throne, and the Night King, Sayeto, was sitting on it.

And on the left and right of the throne were Wufu and the Minister of Finance, and below were various imperial officials.

"You are not..."

Wufu looked at Su Xiao in astonishment. He had previously thought that Su Xiao would never appear again. After all, no one who entered the Dead City had ever come out alive.

Su Xiao waved his hand at Wufu and arrived in front of the Night King, Sayeto. Sayeto, with her full head of silver hair, was wearing a black feather garment, which made her skin appear even fairer.

Su Xiao grabbed Sayeto's jaw. Those officials below seemed to want to say something, and some old officials were even trembling with anger, but in the end, they all chose silence, because this person was indeed someone not to be trifled with.

Su Xiao looked at Sayeto. Sayeto's gaze was somewhat evasive. Her body was trembling because she felt the aura of the Dead City on Su Xiao, as well as a remnant of black energy. At this moment, Su Xiao's aura was terrifying in Sayeto's perception. The voices whispering in her ears were crying and shouting, telling her to stay away from Su Xiao; this was a villain who had killed a king.

"Looks like there's no problem."

Su Xiao let go of Sayeto's chin and tore open the feather garment behind her. A gray brand was gradually shrinking, which indicated that Sayeto's consciousness was recovering rapidly.

"Unreasonable person, let go of our Queen!"

An old official could no longer endure it. Holding the thought of certain death, he roared.

"Wufu, if you don't want to release the things in the Dead City, don't let anyone touch her directly in the next few days. Any physical contact is not allowed. The aura of the living will attract Tree Eaters..."

Su Xiao stopped halfway through his sentence because Wufu and the Minister of Finance didn't know what Tree Eaters were at all.

"My lord, what exactly is in the Dead City?"

Wufu asked in a low voice. After becoming the Right Imperial Guard, he naturally knew something about the Dead City.

"There's a pile of dead people."

Su Xiao looked at Sayeto with a smile. He could perceive that the other party had already recovered some consciousness.

"Behave yourself. After the Sun King can't hold on, you'll have to be a stone statue over there."

"I, I know."

Sayeto spoke in a very low voice. The more she knew, the more clearly she understood how terrifying the Dead City, the Black King, the Sun King, and this man were. The things there were not something she could fight against now.

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the middle hall, tossing Fate Master in his hand. A "Black" character had already been added to it. He had completed everything he needed to do, and it was time to leave this world.

(ps: Two updates today. Didn't sleep well during the day. Was ganked by my cousin and mom, almost forcibly dragged to a blind date. The sorrow of a single dog.)
