Chapter 2144

Blood stained Su Xiao's upper body in a short time, and waves of intense pain struck him; long-term combat had allowed him to restrain this sensation of agony.

Breathing was smooth, and his lungs were not injured; this was undoubtedly good news.

Azathoth stood up from the ground and charged toward Su Xiao with long strides. This guy's speed was not slow, even a bit faster than Su Xiao's; if not for his rich combat experience, Su Xiao would have been crushed to death long ago.

Su Xiao suspected that if Azathoth were in its peak state, it would not be a Tier 6 boss at all, but of a higher rank.

Azathoth's consciousness and physical body were separated; its consciousness had already been slaughtered by Su Xiao, and its body was the Source of Darkness, Azathoth, before him.

Su Xiao's gaze was fixed on the charging Azathoth. Just as Azathoth was ten meters away from him, he slashed out, the blade light whimpering as it cut toward Azathoth's lower leg.

With a 'Swish—' sound, Azathoth's lower leg was cut open by nearly half, but this guy didn't stop at all, only slowing down for an instant.

Su Xiao's body hunched low, and the next moment he leaped up, covering his ears.

Clap!!

Azathoth's two large hands clapped together, and the resulting loud noise shattered the vegetation on the surrounding rock walls.

Su Xiao landed on Azathoth's head, his right foot stomping down with full force, utilizing Azathoth's forward-lunging momentum to stomp onto the top of its head.

Azathoth's head crashed into the ice surface with a 'Boom—'; to stomp such a behemoth into the ground with one foot was a truly shocking and satisfying thing.

Su Xiao did not slash Azathoth again; this guy's health recovery speed was simply too fast. He looked at the Eye of Darkness floating in mid-air and leaped directly from Azathoth's head.

According to the information Su Xiao had obtained, the Eye of Darkness was extremely difficult to destroy. He was only holding the attitude of giving it a try; even if he couldn't destroy this thing, he had to think of a way to suppress Azathoth's recovery ability, otherwise, there would be no way to fight.

Leaping in mid-air, the air currents brushed against the skin of Su Xiao's upper body. Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in his hand, and he held the blade backhanded, Green Steel Shadow energy surging on the long blade.

The tip of the blade stabbed diagonally, and with a 'Crack!', the long blade pierced into the Eye of Darkness, light blue arcs of electricity surging.

Crackle~

A crisp sound came, and in Su Xiao's somewhat surprised gaze, the Eye of Darkness shattered directly, black crystalline fragments splashing everywhere.

Azathoth, which had been charging forward, suddenly stopped; it seemed to have lost its strength and fell directly to its knees.

Su Xiao had just landed, and although his heart was full of doubts, he charged directly in front of Azathoth.

Zing, zing, zing...

Dense blade lights were slashed out, black blood surged wildly on Azathoth's body, blood energy condensed, and the Blood Beast lunged out.

3.7 seconds later, Azathoth was slashed by Su Xiao until it was covered in wounds, but it did not die.

Su Xiao was just about to slash out 'Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost' but stopped immediately because Azathoth made a very familiar movement: palms lifting upward, black energy gathering in its hands; Azathoth was manifesting the Eye of Darkness again.

No consciousness, acting on instinct—this was Azathoth's greatest weakness.

Su Xiao would certainly not stop this behavior of the enemy; the Eye of Darkness was very easy to destroy. As long as the Eye of Darkness was destroyed, Azathoth would be weakened for 3.7 seconds.

The battle became somewhat strange; Azathoth gathered the Eye of Darkness with a blank expression, while Su Xiao waited not far away.

In less than two seconds, Azathoth re-gathered the Eye of Darkness, and its health also began to recover at a very abnormal speed.

Su Xiao pierced through space, appeared in front of the Eye of Darkness, and slashed out.

Crackle~

The Eye of Darkness shattered, and Azathoth, which had just been preparing to lunge at Su Xiao, sat directly on the ground.

The blood on Su Xiao's body turned into a blood mist, formed by the Blood Beast consuming his blood, and it lunged out directly, clean and decisive.

Blood energy exploded, and Su Xiao stepped forward rapidly, slashing upward. Just at this moment, an anomaly occurred; this time, during the weakness, Azathoth was not completely unable to move.

Boom!

Azathoth's entire left arm exploded. Su Xiao's body leaned forward and disappeared from where he stood; blood-colored 'feathers' drifted in mid-air, and flesh fragments flew past. Su Xiao had used Blade Dao Blade · Blood Blade to dodge this attack.

Pfft.

The long blade slashed across Azathoth's neck. Just after slashing one blade, Su Xiao stood on Azathoth's shoulder, the long blade stabbing into Azathoth's head.

Light blue arcs of electricity surged at the wound, sinking into Azathoth's head; the high amount of true damage demonstrated its lethality at this moment.

"Roar!"

Azathoth roared toward the sky. Su Xiao gripped the blade with both hands, and black-blue smoke emerged on the body of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan; this was the execution effect of the Demon Blade.

Azathoth's body suddenly stiffened, and finally, it collapsed to the ground with a 'Boom—'.

Su Xiao stepped on Azathoth's huge head with one foot and slowly pulled the long blade out of the enemy's head; the last Ancient God in the Wizard World had been slaughtered by him.

Blood dripped along the tip of the blade, the weather became clearer, and fluorescent green light spots appeared, floating around Su Xiao and finally landing on his body surface.

Su Xiao's remaining 19% health gradually recovered. That's right, if he had been injured by Azathoth just now, he would have died. Combat is like this; sometimes the more you fear death, the faster you die. In the situation just now, rashly using a recovery potion would only have allowed Azathoth to seize the opportunity to beat Su Xiao to death in a very short time.

When Su Xiao's health recovered to over half, he received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【The Hunter has obtained the gift of this world; when the Hunter is within this world, it will be defaulted as the 'World Guardian'.】

【Within this world, the 'World Guardian' possesses absolute 'World Element Affinity'.】

【Your health is permanently increased by 1000 points.】

【Your Luck attribute is permanently increased by 2 points.】

【The Hunter's world affinity has been significantly increased, and the Charm attribute is permanently increased by 20 points.】

【Warning: Due to the Hunter's aura, the Charm attribute is about to slide!】

【Warning: The Charm attribute has slid to 20 points!】

【Warning: The Charm attribute has slid to 19 points...】

【Warning: The Charm attribute has slid to 1 point!】

【Judging... The Charm attribute has stopped sliding.】

Seeing the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao's cheek twitched slightly. He checked his own Charm attribute; it was still 1 point, but it had changed from black-red to blood-red. This was a very significant improvement.

Obviously, a simple permanent bonus of 20 points to the Charm attribute could no longer save Su Xiao's Charm attribute. This also made him realize how resilient this last point of Charm attribute was, or rather, when the Charm attribute reaches a negative number, is there some degree of benefit?

Otherwise, this last point of Charm attribute would be too resilient; with a 20-point Charm attribute bonus applied, this last point of Charm attribute only recovered from black-red to blood-red.

【The Hunter has killed the Source of Darkness, Azathoth.】

【778 ounces of Space-Time Power have been reclaimed.】

【The Hunter has reclaimed all Space-Time Power!】

【You have obtained 19.7% of the World's Source.】

【You have obtained 307 Soul Coins; you can exchange for the required rewards from the following rewards. If the Hunter does not make a choice within five minutes, the Soul Coins will be materialized.】

【Current total number of Soul Coins: 429】

1. God Bone (Rare item, exclusive reward for God-Slaying)

Price: 140 Soul Coins.

2. Natural Spring (Special equipment)

Hint: This is a unique reward for the World Guardian, extremely rare.

Price: 350 Soul Coins.

3. Elemental Spirit (Energy creature unique to this world)

Hint: This is a unique reward for the World Guardian, extremely rare.

Price: 300 Soul Coins

Su Xiao saw these three rewards, pondered for a moment, and decided to exchange for 【Natural Spring (Special equipment)】, while as for the 【Elemental Spirit】, heaven knows what kind of creature that was and whether it could assist him in battle.

A crystal bottle formed of crystals appeared in Su Xiao's hand, about ten centimeters high. He was just about to check the attributes of 【Natural Spring】 when Azathoth's corpse showed signs of collapsing.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao stepped forward quickly, extending one hand forward, his palm aimed at Azathoth lying on the ground.

The Soul Eater talent was activated, and a ball of light floated out from Azathoth's chest, which Su Xiao grasped in his hand. This time, the soul memory was of only one type, after all, Azathoth's consciousness and body were separated.

【You have obtained 'Ancient Memory · Nameless Mist (Incomplete)'.】

【Warning: This soul memory is extremely dangerous; the Hunter will definitely die after using it.】

【Hint: The Hunter is already under the protection of this world; in this state, the Hunter can use this soul memory without any risk.】

The black and white ball of light sank into Su Xiao's palm. Just after using the soul memory, the scene before his eyes changed drastically; it was a 'viewing-type' soul memory.

A doomsday-like scene appeared; the sky was dim yellow, and a world a thousand times larger than the Wizard World was collapsing, with spatial rifts visible everywhere.

"Leave this place; there is only one chance."

The voice of the Black Goat, Shub, came...

Through this soul memory, Su Xiao learned that the Dominator, the Black Goat, and the world where Azathoth originally resided were about to collapse. They were originally extremely powerful gods, existences at the conceptual level.

The three conceptual gods left the world where they originally resided and arrived at a place called the Void, which was even more vast. As the price for leaving their original world, the three gods slid from conceptual gods to Ancient Gods.

Even so, the three Ancient Gods were still powerful; at least within the first month of their arrival in the Void, they had never encountered an opponent.

After arriving in the Void, Azathoth, Shub, and Sothoth set up an altar and made a race live in fear—not to be explored, not to be known, not to pry into the gods.

Azathoth, Shub, and Sothoth had long been accustomed to doing such things; at least in their original world, they had always done so. Some had resisted them, and the result was dying in despair.

Just when the three Ancient Gods, Azathoth, Shub, and Sothoth, were together, preparing to make more races live in their fear, they accidentally encountered five humans. Azathoth remembered the conversation of those five humans vividly until its death.

"Yo, is this an Ancient God?"

"Seems like it, but the elemental fluctuations around it..."

"A rare breed of Ancient God; is this a hybrid? Forget it, they have mildly damaged the elemental balance; let's catch them."

"Don't put everything into a cage; that's not a good habit."

"Stop chatting, Ma Wen, they look quite fierce; let's slaughter them on the way."

"Don't slaughter them; hybrid Ancient Gods are very rare!"

This simple conversation made Azathoth feel a trace of anger. It hadn't experienced this emotion for a long time, so it decided to let these five humans who called themselves Law-Exterminators taste hundreds of years of fear, and finally let them die in fear.

The battle began, and the battle ended quickly; Azathoth, Shub, and Sothoth were all pinned to the ground and beaten.

Azathoth, Shub, and Sothoth, who had escaped by luck, arrived in the Wizard World. Although their strength had declined severely, they were the strongest here.

If it weren't for a female lunatic who wanted to lock them in a cage to study exactly what breed they were, the possibility of them escaping would have been minimal.
