Chapter 2169
Su Xiao, who was about to charge forward, paused. Clearly, this Ancient God had seen Law-Breakers before, and judging by her current attitude, she had obviously been dealt with quite severely.
"Which one are you?"
The reason Su Xiao didn't strike was that this Ancient God knew of the existence of Law-Breakers, and judging by her appearance, she had clearly had contact with previous generations of Law-Breakers.
"I am the Goddess of Death..." The female Ancient God stopped halfway through her sentence, seemingly feeling that it was inappropriate to say it that way, and instead said: "I am the Ancient God, Ursula."
"Ursula."
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. After contemplating for a moment, he decided it was better to beat the other party down first; that would make negotiation more convenient.
"You Law-Breakers all have something wrong with your brains! Bastard!"
Ursula's arm raised, and the surrounding air suddenly solidified.
Crack! Crack!
Crisp sounds came from around Su Xiao. Seeing this, Ursula's cheek twitched. She stretched her arms outward, and her body turned into gray butterflies, eventually dissipating.
With a boom, the solidified air around Su Xiao shattered, and he snapped his fingers.
Snap~
Baha, who was on standby nearby, spread its wings. Six black feathers detached from its body, forming a circle before shattering.
Thud!
The space within 1000 meters was sealed by Baha. Spatial abilities within this area were interrupted, and for the next 6 minutes, spatial abilities of Tier 6 or below could not be used in this area. This was the Demon Eagle Domain.
The space in front of Su Xiao distorted, and the pale-skinned Ursula appeared. She was clearly somewhat bewildered, but soon, she saw Su Xiao, who was holding a long sword and had red light in his eyes.
If comparing martial prowess, Ancient God Ursula was at the same level as Sothoth, and might not even be able to beat Sothoth.
Su Xiao had once fought Sothoth one-on-one. One must know that was when he had just been promoted to Tier 6, and now, his strength was vastly different from before.
But don't underestimate Sothoth either; regardless, that guy was a Tier 6 big boss, so Ancient God Ursula was also at the big boss level.
"Ha, haha, I say, I wasn't scolding you just now, do you believe me?"
Ursula tried her best to maintain a smile. She hadn't smiled like this for a long time. For these past few hundred years, she had been an untouchable existence in the Abyss. Whoever dared to go to the Abyss to spy on her would meet a dead end.
"..."
Su Xiao flicked the blood off his sword, and the long sword slowly returned to its sheath.
"You are not a pure-blooded Ancient God."
Su Xiao sat on the stone table. Seeing this, Ursula felt a sense of relief in her heart. She had fled the moment she saw Su Xiao because she sensed that she was highly unlikely to be Su Xiao's match. Furthermore, even if she luckily defeated Su Xiao, there would be even more terrifying Law-Breakers to deal with her. Clearly, Ursula did not yet know that the Law-Breaker era had ended and that Su Xiao was the last remaining Law-Breaker of the Shadow, with the rest being only remnant souls.
"I am an Ancient God, not a hybrid!"
Ursula's attitude suddenly turned tough, as if her tail had been stepped on.
"You are... a hybrid of a neutral deity and an Ancient God? Truly rare. If a certain madwoman were still alive, she would be very interested in you."
"!"
Although Ursula tried her best to hide the change in her expression, her heart skipped a beat. After all, being held like a doll by a certain female madwoman and sleeping for several months—that kind of experience was simply her dark history, too painful to look back on.
Ursula clearly remembered that after that madwoman Law-Breaker saw her, there was surprise and astonishment in her eyes, and she said: "To think there is such a beautiful female Ancient God."
After that, Ursula's nightmare began. That madwoman took her along like an accessory, making her do laundry and cook during the day. If she didn't listen, she would beat her, beat her until she cried, and then lock her in a cage, taming her bit by bit. That pain from the soul was something she could never forget.
And at night, that madwoman used her as a doll, holding her to sleep. Ursula desperately wanted to roar: "I am an Ancient God, damn it! Is it a crime for a hybrid Ancient God to be beautiful? Shadow of the Law-Breaker, screw you!"
Unfortunately, she didn't dare to say it like that. She had seen with her own eyes that madwoman slash a beast-form Ancient God to pieces. That day's dinner was that beast-form Ancient God, steamed, and she had cooked it herself. That madwoman even praised her for her good cooking skills.
The original Ursula was a maid + doll, and after that madwoman tasted the deliciousness of an Ancient God, Ursula gained an extra identity: emergency rations. However, Ursula felt that the other party probably wouldn't eat her; at least, she had never seen that madwoman eat humanoid creatures.
"Oh? It seems you have met that madwoman. It must have been hard for you."
Hearing this from Su Xiao, Ursula looked up at Su Xiao, and her gaze began to change.
"She..."
Ursula had just opened her mouth when she felt something stuck in her throat. She wanted to speak, but couldn't.
"Died."
"Is that so? Such a powerful person, to think she would also die. I originally thought no one could defeat her. Ah~, yes, she would also bleed, and her blood was also red."
Ursula sat slowly on the ground, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Where is the Soul Stone she left behind?"
Su Xiao's inquiry seemed casual, but in reality, he was probing.
"The Soul Stone is in... guess."
Ursula raised her head, looking at Su Xiao with a smile. Hybrid Ancient Gods are indeed lively, unlike pure-blooded Ancient Gods who, if they want to fight, they fight without any nonsense. At least the pure-blooded Ancient Gods Su Xiao had seen were all like that; although they were ugly to a new degree, they were all tough bones.
"..."
Su Xiao chose not to guess and gripped the hilt of Zhan Long Shan.
"You have to make an agreement with me. As long as I tell you where the Soul Stone is, you cannot hack me."
"An agreement?"
"Yes, an agreement. The agreement of a Law-Breaker is worth believing."
"Fine."
Su Xiao's straightforward reply made Ursula's heart waver.
"The Soul Stone is in the skull of the Holy Descendant King."
Ursula's tone was firm. Su Xiao absolutely did not believe that this matter had nothing to do with her.
"The skeleton holding the Soul Stone in the Abyss?"
"That thing? I made it. It is said that even today, there are Holy Descendants studying that pile of broken bones. That was just a skeleton I picked up randomly in the Abyss. Mortals are just so interesting."
Ursula smiled, her nasty personality possibly influenced by that certain madwoman.
"Who is the leader of the Pantheon?"
"Pantheon? Seems I've heard of it. Let me think, oh, right, they came to the Abyss to find me, seemingly wanting to re-establish order or something. Very boring, but they cooperated with the snake."
"Snake?"
"The Abyss Snake, very strong, hmm..." Ursula contemplated for a moment, seemingly unable to think of what to compare the Abyss Snake to, but seeing Su Xiao, her eyes lit up, and she said: "About as strong as you. No, it should be stronger than you. Perhaps only the true King of Sela, the Iron Feather King in his prime, could kill it. But the current Iron Feather King is too old. After all, he is not a Holy Descendant. He is at least 260 years old now; that he hasn't died of old age is already a miracle."
Ursula knew many secrets. At the very least, Su Xiao had never heard of the Iron Feather King she spoke of.
"You will be able to see the Iron Feather King soon. Sure enough, he still hates the Abyss so much."
Ursula looked out the window.
Su Xiao leaped down from the stone table, stood before the window, and looked into the courtyard.
An old man, a little over 1.8 meters tall, holding a hooked spear, stood in the courtyard. This hooked spear was the most commonly used cold weapon on the battlefield, but in this person's hands, it was completely different. And near him were several corpses; these were four Qiyuezhe from the Death Paradise. They hadn't even let out a scream before being slaughtered by this old man, as simple as killing chickens or dogs.
"Ursula, is it? Haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been lately?"
A hoarse but full-of-energy voice came. The Iron Feather King, wearing loose gray clothes, was not strong, but just by standing there, he gave one the feeling that he would never fall.
"Hmm, quite well. I haven't been to Sela in decades. This time, someone awakened me. You must believe me. Also, how is your health?"
Facing the Iron Feather King, Ursula cowered to a new degree.
The Iron Feather King was once a soldier on the battlefield. Everything he possessed was won by killing on the battlefield. As long as he was there, the Northern Alliance dared not attack Alans City. One man, deterring an enemy nation.
