Chapter 1902: Fake?

On the stone platform carved with patterns, Su Xiao held his long blade in one hand, his other arm hanging naturally, preparing to activate the 'Dead Silence Descent' ability. Although the hope was slim, he would not close his eyes and wait for death.

The Blade Demon was also looking at Su Xiao, but he did not stand up.

"Traveler, no need to be so vigilant. This is not the original body of that guy."

The black mist figure spoke. He raised his hand wreathed in black smoke and snapped his fingers, causing the raggedly dressed 'Blade Demon' to stand up.

Clack, clack...

A unique grinding sound of gears came from the Blade Demon's body. Su Xiao discovered that this did not seem to be a living organism, but rather a type of mechanism.

Even so, Su Xiao still sensed the aura of the Blade Demon from this humanoid mechanism; that unique feeling could not be wrong.

"The Blade Demon can be considered one of us, but he only came here once. After killing 'Leo', he was kicked out by us. Being able to obtain a portion of his aura from him was thanks to Virgo mediating. Of course, I paid a not-insignificant price. After all, this 'mechanical puppet' is very useful in the Void. That guy is a lunatic..."

The black mist figure let out a low laugh. While he spoke, the mechanical puppet with the Blade Demon's aura had already walked far away, entering the thin mist at the edge. Where that led, into the chaos, was unknown.

Only then did Su Xiao have the opportunity to look around. The location where he stood was a circular stone platform about fifty meters in diameter, surrounded by chaotic thin mist, from which faint, strange noises emerged.

Those sounds included the honking of modern automobiles, the roar of trains from the Industrial Revolution, and even roars resembling those of humans, sounding very primitive. In other places, beast roars could be heard.

Sounds from different eras converged together, some far and some near, making one unable to help but be captivated by the charm of space and time.

Other than that, there was nothing else on the stone platform, and if one did not listen carefully, the surrounding sounds could not be heard at all.

【Prompt: The Hunter has arrived in an unknown domain.】

【Coordinate determination in progress...】

【Determination failed. This is a special domain. No World Source exists. Unable to establish a space node.】

【Warning: There may be huge risks at the Hunter's current location. Space protection mechanism has been activated.】

【You have obtained the temporary ability: Transmission (Active Lv. 120). The Hunter can use this ability to return to Reincarnation Paradise. This ability will be reclaimed upon returning to Reincarnation Paradise.】

A large number of blood-red prompts appeared, and the black mist figure seemed to have sensed something.

"Belonging to Reincarnation Paradise, huh? That one is not to be trifled with. The seventh-generation Scorpio died on that side."

The black mist figure seemed very idle and did not urge Su Xiao to complete the transaction, instead speaking in a leisurely tone.

There was no doubt that this guy was extremely strong, strong enough to fight the Blade Demon head-on, strong enough to obtain a small portion of aura from the Blade Demon through a transaction, and even strong enough to sense the existence of Reincarnation Paradise.

"A rare Law-Extinguishing Shadow. What are you prepared to take out to trade with us? If you want to obtain power, then forget it. You are not a native of a wild world. With Reincarnation standing behind you, we cannot bestow power upon you."

The black mist figure sat in a casual posture. Judging by the voice, this was a male...

Su Xiao roughly understood the current situation. First, after crushing an unknown eyeball, he had entered the Starry Sky Seat, a very mysterious organization in the Void. Second, for a traveler like him who had accidentally entered the Starry Sky Seat, the members' approach was relatively laissez-faire: complete one transaction with Su Xiao, then send him away.

In the Ghost world, Su Xiao had learned from a fifteen-eyed ghost that the ghost had once traded with a member of the Starry Sky Seat, using one-third of its soul to exchange for the aptitude to break through its limits. It was precisely because of this that the ghost had been able to advance to a fifteen-eyed ghost.

Su Xiao had also learned information about the Starry Sky Seat from the Demon race. This organization never competed for territory in the Void. Its members numbered no more than 20, though the exact number was unknown. They could be considered the loosest organization in the Void, but no one was willing to provoke them.

Moreover, according to rumors, the Blade Demon was the only known member of the Starry Sky Seat. As for the authenticity of this information, judging by the black mist figure's words just now, it was likely a fact.

The Blade Demon did not entirely count as a member of the Starry Sky Seat. After that guy entered the Starry Sky Seat, he killed a member, and was then "kicked out." As for whether that was true or false, it was, after all, only the black mist figure's one-sided story.

Clearly, being able to trade with the Starry Sky Seat had a hundred benefits and no harm for Su Xiao. As for what to trade with, he thought of the Black Maple Tree's produce immediately. If the Blade Demon had not traded with other members of the Starry Sky Seat, then the Black Maple Tree should be a very rare resource here.

However, taking out Black Maple Tree produce carried certain risks. After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao took out a crystal the size of a fist from his storage space. This was a cyan crystal possessing strong spatial-blocking properties.

"Cohesive crystal? This thing is not bad. Jormungandr is on the verge of extinction, and this thing is also becoming rare. Without you Law-Extinguishing Shadow members to protect them, those giant octopuses going extinct is only a matter of time."

The black mist figure appeared to be in deep thought, seemingly considering what to exchange with Su Xiao for the cohesive crystal.

Su Xiao had a piece of this cohesive crystal the size of a basketball, so he did not feel heartache about taking out a piece the size of a fist to trade with the black mist figure.

"Let me look... Hmm, this thing should have a not-low value for you. For others, this is just waste paper. At least, I can't understand what is written on it."

The black mist figure took out a yellowed notebook. The edges of the notebook were severely damaged, and there was a small line of text on the cover: 'Perfected 15,476 times of recording'.

"This was left behind by a previous generation of Law-Extinguishing Shadow members. It should be from the first few generations. I originally wanted to use it to get some Black Maple leaves from the Blade Demon, but I ended up getting slashed instead."

The black mist figure tossed the tattered notebook, which stopped in front of Su Xiao.

"Transaction complete. See you again if fate allows, Law-Extinguishing Shadow."

The black mist figure's voice gradually faded in Su Xiao's ears. Su Xiao immediately activated the temporary transmission ability granted by Reincarnation Paradise.

The light around him twisted. Su Xiao felt as if he were being dragged out of a world alive.

When Su Xiao's vision recovered, he was already sitting on the carpet of his exclusive room. At this very moment, the other unknown eyeball he had placed in his bosom burst, followed by an almost brutal pulling force.

I don't know how much time passed, but a somewhat blurry voice entered Su Xiao's ears.

"Another traveler? Let's follow the old rules, fool them and send them away, cough."

After a light cough, Su Xiao heard the black mist figure's voice, which was already somewhat familiar.

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Seat, lucky... eh..."

When the black mist figure saw Su Xiao appearing out of thin air, Su Xiao was also looking at him.

"How did you... come back again?"

"..."

Su Xiao also wanted to know how he had come back again.
