Chapter 2273: Grand Event

Although the fruit of the Void Tree was very tempting, it was clearly not the time to fight for it. He could consider it if there was an opportunity in the future.

Putting away the items obtained, Su Xiao picked up 【Alec's Box】. As a treasure chest dropped by a Son of the World, Su Xiao was looking forward to this thing.

【You opened Alec's Box.】

【You obtained Underworld God's Umbilical Cord.】

【Underworld God's Umbilical Cord】

Origin: Meteor Star

Quality: Special

Type: Bloodline Prop/Functional Prop/Lethal Prop

Usage Effect 1: After eating the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord, you will be eroded by divine power (Ancient). If you do not die within 3 hours and maintain your sanity, your Real Strength, Real Agility, and Real Stamina attributes will be significantly improved.

Prompt: After eating the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord, it will cause irreversible mutation, such as growing tentacles, partial body Ancient God-ification, etc.

Usage Effect 2: Integrate mental power into the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord to conduct short-term mental communication with the Underworld God (Ancient God).

Warning: With the Hunter's current mental strength and soul strength, the risk of mental communication with the Underworld God is extremely high. It will definitely cause irreversible mental damage and soul damage, and intermittent madness (irreversible, permanent), and there is a very high probability of being polluted by the Underworld God's mental power, thus being dragged into the Meteor Star.

Prompt: If mental communication is successful, you can trade with the Underworld God by consuming soul crystals or soul coins. This is an extremely unequal trade.

Usage Effect 3: Can toss the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord at the enemy. If the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord touches the enemy's skin, the enemy will be affected by the "Filthy Whisper," resulting in instant death or partial body collapse.

Prompt: After the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord is used, it must be destroyed within 10 minutes.

Destruction Method: White sheep feces + distilled water + acidic chitin powder + undead powder + holy oak roots.

Introduction: Do not spy on the Underworld God, do not communicate with it, do not listen to its voice, do not look directly at its appearance, do not chant its divine name.

Sale Price: Cannot be sold, can be discarded, can be traded.

A withered umbilical cord fell to the ground. Su Xiao hadn't used his hand to catch this thing just now because he felt danger.

Su Xiao took out a charcoal box from the storage space, used tweezers to pick up the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord on the ground, and put it into the charcoal box.

Don't underestimate this charcoal box. This was Su Xiao lighting the withered branches of the Black Maple Tree to obtain the wooden platform, and using this as a base material to manufacture this charcoal box.

This thing was specifically used by Su Xiao to store dangerous items. It had a very strong isolation effect. The rhizomes of Dibamu, the heart of the White Goat Shab, etc., had all been stored in it, and were later destroyed by Su Xiao because they had no value.

With a snap, Su Xiao closed the charcoal box, and the sense of crisis dissipated. He always maintained vigilance against Ancient Gods. The benefits of slaughtering Ancient Gods were indeed not small, but Ancient Gods were also equally powerful.

Whether it was the Moon God or the Dark Source Azathoth, they had all nearly killed Su Xiao. Describing the battles with them as a narrow escape was no exaggeration.

As for the Nightmare God encountered recently, the other party's ability was countered by Su Xiao. Otherwise, this guy would be even more unsolvable. The moment they met, Su Xiao would have to think of a way to retreat. Being dragged into the dream world would be certain death.

And the Underworld God was an even stronger Ancient God. This Ancient God was so terrifying that just by looking at it, one might be polluted by its mental power. Even the umbilical cord it abandoned when it was born could not be touched.

The Underworld God's Umbilical Cord had many uses, but the usage methods were very limited. Su Xiao would never eat this thing, nor would he integrate his mental power into it.

The only usage method was to use this thing to pit people. The terrifying degree of this thing far exceeded that of deadly poison. If the enemy touched it with their skin, they might die instantly. If it were ground into powder and the enemy "accidentally" drank it, the result could be imagined.

What was even more dangerous was that after the enemy touched this thing, the Underworld God's Umbilical Cord must be completely destroyed within 10 minutes, otherwise there would be serious consequences.

Wrapping the charcoal box with metal wires, Su Xiao put the charcoal box into the storage space and placed it in a corner, away from other items.

The harvest was not small, but it didn't have much improvement on Su Xiao's own strength. He wasn't disappointed and started his daily meditation.

Because most participants were still in the Viking Sea, the fourth round of the Strongest Contest couldn't start. Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry. He could take this opportunity to adjust his state. The fourth round was the Arena mode, which relied on hard strength.

This Arena mode was actually what Su Xiao was best at. The reason was very simple: Bubu Wang, Amu, Bahamut, and Benny were all his followers. Counting Su Xiao himself, it would be four against one, hammering the enemy until they doubted their lives.

The waiting time wasn't long. Aside from daily meditation and practicing sword skills, Su Xiao could also pass the time by tackling puzzle games.

Unknowingly, a few days passed, and Su Xiao's state was getting better and better. Compared to Void races, Su Xiao, who often performed missions in various worlds, was better at adjusting his state in such situations.

【Prompt: The fourth round of the Strongest Contest is about to begin.】

【Venue of this round: El Star, Baro Arena (this is one of the three major arenas in the Void).】

【Number of participants: 167.】

【This round is an elimination points system, and the statistical party is the Void Tree.】

【If the Hunter defeats the opponent, points will be obtained according to the battle duration, number of consecutive wins, etc.】

【The top ten in the points ranking can be promoted to the fifth round of the Strongest Contest (the Ten Strongest Contest).】

【The points leaderboard is in public mode.】

【The Baro Arena can be watched, and it can accommodate 300,000 people. The spectators are all of the same race or relatives of the participants in this contest. Others have no entry qualifications.】

【Teleportation is about to begin.】

The light flashed before Su Xiao's eyes. When his vision recovered, he was standing on a piece of sand. The diameter of this sand field was about 300 meters, and it was surrounded by a completely transparent barrier, shaped like a cylinder.

And behind the barrier were tiered circular spectator stands. At this time, the spectator stands were already full of people: Devil tribe, Feather tribe, Star tribe, spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star, and even some half-orc races.

Cheers appeared like a tide, mixed with many shouts.

Su Xiao stood on the yellow sand field, and near him were other participants, 167 in total. These people were waving to a certain area of the spectator stands above. Especially some participants from medium-sized races, they were relatively excited. Being able to fight to the fourth round, regardless of the result, the races they belonged to could obtain a large amount of resources. Even if they died in the fourth round, they were heroes of their own races.

Shang Yue's gaze swept around, and soon, she saw a middle-aged Feather tribe member draped in black feather garments in the spectator stands. This was her father.

In the spectator stands, the middle-aged Feather tribe member nodded slightly. The expression on his face was still serious, but his fists were clenched. Saying he wasn't worried would be a lie, but the Void was like this. If one wasn't strong enough, one couldn't master one's own destiny. There were too many strong people here, and no faction could completely rule here.

"Everyone, I can understand your feelings, but please stop cheering first."

A Devil tribe member stood on a high platform beside the arena. This was the highest position in the arena, and it also had a panoramic view of the spectator stands behind.

The Devil tribe member on the high platform paused for a moment. After the spectator stands were completely quiet, he began to warm up the scene.

Su Xiao looked around, and soon found the seating area for participants. It was a separately isolated area.

After walking a few steps, Su Xiao vaguely heard someone calling him.

"Look here, yes, yes, just here."

Succubus Lilim was waving in the spectator stands, and sitting beside her was her sister Lilis.

Lilis was not a succubus; she was a combat-type female devil with great potential, just that her brain wasn't very good. Last time in the shallow layer of the Black Abyss, she had cooperated with Su Xiao. After being crushed in IQ again and again, this devil girl doubted her life.

Su Xiao turned his gaze to the nearby seating area. That area was occupied by spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star.

Searching for a moment in this seating area, Su Xiao found a spellcaster. Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at Su Xiao. Eye to eye, this spellcaster was named Mage Sage Sephilia.
