Chapter 2425

~9 min read 1,718 words

Qisi's corpse fell to the ground, dead as could be. Su Xiao deactivated Hunter Moment; he was already nearly exhausted, and if he continued to keep Hunter Moment active, he would be lying on the ground unable to move in 2 seconds, unable to move even a finger.

Amu and Baha did not come to help because of Qisi's "Darkness Burial." When they first met, Su Xiao had used the Apostle's Eye to detect Qisi's data, which was his habit before fighting a strong enemy. The detected data was incomplete, but it did detect an ability with terrifying lethality like "Darkness Burial."

Qisi had not used "Darkness Burial" before, so Su Xiao did not let Baha and Amu come to help.

"Darkness Burial" could not be resisted head-on. The damage from this thing was not high in the first 1.7 seconds, but after 1.7 seconds, physical defense would diminish, leading to a sharp increase in the lethality of "Darkness Burial." If Amu had resisted the entire "Darkness Burial," it would have kicked the bucket directly. Qisi's trump card was extremely ruthless.

Su Xiao did not resist "Darkness Burial" head-on, but the Orphan of Resentment did. At this time, its "corpse" was lying dozens of meters away, most of its body eroded to the point of exposing white bone.

Amu and Baha were approaching rapidly. Just at this moment, Su Xiao felt that the surroundings had changed.

After a roar in his ears, Su Xiao discovered that the surrounding world had turned black and white; the only things with color left were him and the Orphan of Resentment.

"You, are, strong."

The Orphan of Resentment slowly climbed up from the ground. If anyone said the Orphan of Resentment was a crazy monster at this time, that person should be hung up and whipped.

How many years had passed? The Orphan of Resentment, possessing language ability, had not said a word, only using roars to express its meaning. It understood Old God language, Light-Dark Empire language, and even the language of the Hyena Wolf tribe; it could understand some of them.

Black mist slowly spat out from the Orphan of Resentment's mouth; it had just absorbed a large amount of Old God power to resist "Darkness Burial."

With a squelch, the Orphan of Resentment's spine split open, its broken body rapidly dried and cracked, and an Orphan of Resentment that looked like a newborn crawled out from the shriveled corpse.

The Orphan of Resentment's health recovered rapidly: 17%, 36%, 59%, 72%, 89%...

It was not until it recovered to 92% that its health recovery stopped, and its injuries were basically healed; it had nearly returned to its peak state.

The Orphan of Resentment had hidden deeper than Qisi. The fire within the Old God's power represented birth and rebirth.

The Archbishop mastered the Fire of Birth and would be weak after resurrection, while the Orphan of Resentment mastered the Fire of Rebirth, which was a fire closer to the characteristics of the Old God's power, and it would be healed by the Fire of Rebirth after resurrection.

Puchi.

Su Xiao held his blade and slashed a piece of flesh off his left shoulder. His face was somewhat pale, his breathing heavier. Only then did the nearly maddening whispers in his ears disappear.

There was some doubt in the Orphan of Resentment's vertical pupils; it felt that Su Xiao was not the kind of person who would beg for mercy, let alone use "self-mutilation" to gain sympathy.

The Orphan of Resentment ignored this point; it found that its state was very good, even somewhat exceeding its peak state.

The Orphan of Resentment did not hesitate; a cluster of sparks gathered in its mouth, preparing to blast Su Xiao from a distance.

There were only black and white colors left around; this should be within some kind of domain. The Orphan of Resentment's trump card was this kind of domain + Fire of Rebirth. The Orphan of Resentment looked crazy, but it was actually as steady as an old dog, even taking into account the threats posed to it by Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, the Saintess, the Blacksmith, etc.

Su Xiao was very weak; he had just heard whispers for a very short time, and although it was only 0.1 seconds, it had caused his health to slide to less than 5%.

The Orphan of Resentment, just about to spit out sparks, paused. It exerted force throughout its body, and with a squelch, the fragments of Banished broke out from various parts of its body.

Using the Old God's power to expel the Banished from its body, the Orphan of Resentment felt much more relaxed in its heart. This should be the enemy's final trump card.

Just as the Orphan of Resentment was preparing to blast Su Xiao to death from a distance, it looked around nervously, its sharp claws scratching randomly in the air.

"Ah!!"

The Orphan of Resentment screamed sharply and began to scratch its own head and neck with its sharp claws, scratching until it was covered in bloodstains, with bones exposed in some places.

"Roar!"

The Orphan of Resentment roared upward, and the skin, muscles, and blood vessels on its body all rose from its body, clawing and dancing, possessing a kind of cruel and eerie beauty.

The reason the Orphan of Resentment became like this had to be traced back to more than ten seconds ago. When Qisi used "Darkness Burial," Su Xiao activated Hunter Moment. He did not perform space penetration in place, but arrived near the Orphan of Resentment.

At that time, the Orphan of Resentment was using the Old God's power to resist "Darkness Burial." Su Xiao appeared for an instant and threw something called 【Underworld God Umbilical Cord】 onto the Orphan of Resentment.

【Underworld God Umbilical Cord】

Origin: Meteorite Star

Quality: Special

Usage Effect 1:...

Usage Effect 2:...

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

Hint: After using the Underworld God Umbilical Cord, it must be destroyed within 10 minutes.

Destruction method: Sheep feces + distilled water + acidic chitin powder + undead powder + Holy Oak root.

Introduction: Do not pry into 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.

Just as he threw the 【Underworld God Umbilical Cord】 onto the Orphan of Resentment, this thing turned into tentacles, one of which brushed against Su Xiao's left shoulder.

Therefore, Su Xiao slashed off the flesh on his left shoulder. He only heard the "Filthy Whispers" for an instant, but that feeling was like wanting to lift all the flesh on his body, as if his blood vessels had independent consciousness.

Fortunately, this feeling disappeared instantly, and for the Orphan of Resentment, the 【Underworld God Umbilical Cord】 had already invaded its body. Resurrection was useless; the 【Underworld God Umbilical Cord】 was a foreign object produced at the birth of the Underworld God, so how could it be easily shaken off?

At this time, the Orphan of Resentment was wailing on the ground. It was like a flower of flesh and blood, fully blooming, and the "Filthy Whispers" in its ears seemed to want to lift its skull.

Su Xiao retreated more than ten meters, took out a bottle of recovery potion, and after drinking it, his health recovered at a slow speed.

After waiting for a few seconds, the Orphan of Resentment stopped moving. It was no longer a creature, but had turned into a puddle.

Su Xiao did not make a move to kill the Orphan of Resentment, but waited for the opponent to be killed by the "Filthy Whispers." It was not that he didn't want to kill it, but that he couldn't. This was a world belonging to the Void Tree, and the degree of freedom was very high. Killing the Orphan of Resentment at this time might attract the Underworld God, and that would be a huge joke. Su Xiao never denied that he could be greedy and wanted to get more benefits, but he also had to look at the timing.

Once the Underworld God was attracted, no matter how many benefits he obtained, it would be useless.

The colors around began to recover, and the Orphan of Resentment's domain disappeared, which meant it was dead.

After waiting for nearly 7 minutes and confirming that the Orphan of Resentment was dead, Su Xiao took out undead powder, Holy Oak roots, and other items, and began to mix them according to a certain ratio.

With Su Xiao's alchemy level, he finished mixing it in less than a minute. He took out an alchemical raven from his storage space, and after activating it, Su Xiao controlled the raven to fly above the Orphan of Resentment's corpse and pour out a bottle of gray liquid.

When the gray liquid was still in mid-air, Su Xiao disconnected his mental link with the alchemical raven.

With a sizzle, a pungent smell spread, and the alchemical raven flying at a low altitude exploded with a bang.

"Who is it."

A voice that seemed to come from the abyss appeared. Su Xiao ignored this voice; he had already avoided accidents as much as possible. If the Underworld God could still detect him, then there was no help for it.

Soon, some kind of mental fluctuation disappeared. Su Xiao still did not move; he was not in a hurry at all now, as Qisi and the Orphan of Resentment had already been eliminated.

An eye suddenly appeared. Almost at the same time, tree roots spread out of thin air, and that eye dissipated. Now Su Xiao was certain that the connection between the Underworld God and this world had been cut off. The opponent had not obtained the medium, so it could not arrive in this world.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and looked around. The altar was already pitted and bumpy, and the corpses of the Archbishop, Qisi, and the Orphan of Resentment were all lying on it.
