Chapter 2546
Diagonally above the Heavenly Palace, water vapor rose here. Baha swept through the water vapor. The direction it was flying in now was not straight toward the top of the Heavenly Palace; it was flying in the opposite direction.
Baha was very experienced. If it flew vertically to a high place, once there were warning measures above the Heavenly Palace, its presence would be detected, thereby guarding against high altitude.
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears. Su Xiao looked at the scene below that was gradually becoming smaller. The reason he acted now was that the God Village was not suitable for long-term exploration. His purpose in coming to the God Village was very pure: to fish for a large amount of benefits to improve his own strength.
The Empty Seat Banquet was about to begin, and he would then head to a certain place within the Void. Based on his understanding of the Starry Sky Seat, this mysterious organization was very loose, with few members and no common aspirations. The Empty Seat Banquet held every once in a while was the core of this mysterious organization, where members traded items with each other, bartering.
Known intelligence was that the Starry Sky Seat had about 6 to 8 members. In the Void, no major race would take the initiative to provoke the Starry Sky Seat because the cost of provocation was painful, and the Starry Sky Seat had no conflict with any faction, neither snatching territory nor planning conspiracies.
A more important point was that unless all members were gathered, even if one person was missing, the union of the others could not represent the Starry Sky Seat. Personal grievances were resolved by individuals.
This system destined that many people wanted to join the Starry Sky Seat. The known members of the Starry Sky Seat were all very strong, with representative members being the Blade Demon, and Saintess Seat and others who were slightly weaker than the Blade Demon. One could imagine the harvest from bartering with these people. However, there was a prerequisite: being able to produce items that these people could take a fancy to.
Su Xiao judged that with the loose characteristics of the Starry Sky Seat, they wouldn't care at all whether the participants of the Empty Seat Banquet died on the way. Although there would be no external threats once one arrived at the place where the Empty Seat Banquet was held, Su Xiao didn't know how to get to that place yet.
Being able to teleport directly was certainly good. If not, there might be danger along the way. He was a Law-Destroyer, the mortal enemy of the current strongest hegemon of the Void, the Arcane Eternal Star.
Precisely because of this, before going to participate in the Empty Seat Banquet, Su Xiao had to improve his strength as much as possible. Even if there was danger, the Empty Seat Banquet was something he must participate in; this was an opportunity.
The Black Maple Tree Su Xiao planted was now 3.12 meters tall, which gave him a feeling of having a treasure mountain but nowhere to use it.
The Empty Seat Banquet was an opportunity. As long as he didn't collide with the Blade Demon, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of resources or get extremely rare items this time.
Not considering these for now, Su Xiao had to solve the Taba in the Heavenly Palace first. The leader of the Qin was still alive, and the slash from the other party just now made his spine ache faintly even now.
Su Xiao had already drunk a bottle of 【Honor Recovery Potion (Tier 6)】, but the recovery speed of the injury was not as fast as he imagined. The blade in the leader of the Qin's hand was simply an enhancement of the clan leader's 'Wind Passing'. Even if he was slashed from a distance, the healing speed of the wound was very slow.
After a while, Baha flew above the abyss. After arriving here, it began to increase its flight altitude, and then flew from several thousand meters high to above the Heavenly Palace. This was the most secure way.
With nothing to do during the flight, Su Xiao looked at the abyss below. The abyss with a span of over two kilometers was pitch black, and the bottom could not be seen.
Just as Su Xiao was about to turn his gaze, he discovered a figure lying on a protruding stone platform in the abyss, seemingly sleeping there. This figure was none other than the Titan King.
Su Xiao still hadn't figured out the Titan King's purpose for entering the God Village; the other party hadn't gone to find the Taba.
As Baha increased its flight altitude, the Titan King's figure gradually turned into a small black dot and finally disappeared from Su Xiao's sight.
While Baha was still flying, Su Xiao checked the reward prompt from just now.
【You have killed Taba · Li Sa.】
【You have obtained 12 Soul Coins.】
【You have obtained Ba Soul x3.】
【You have killed elite Taba · Hao Hun.】
【You have obtained 42 Soul Coins.】
【You have obtained Ba Soul x12.】
【You have killed leader of the Ni · Lie Chao.】
【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-level treasure chest (42%).】
【You have obtained Ni Soul (special item). After use, you can obtain a certain amount of World Source. This item can only be used in this world.】
【Prompt: Holding Ni Soul, if you find the one-armed blacksmith · Raglen in the God Village, you can forge a 'Source characteristic' ranged weapon. This weapon will carry the Ni ability (after being blessed to the weapon, the effect of the Ni ability will be reduced).】
【Prompt: After returning to the Reincarnation Paradise holding Ni Soul, you can use this item to strengthen ranged weapons. The strengthened weapon will carry the 'Water Life' characteristic.】
【You have killed Taba...】
A large number of reward prompts appeared. After looking through them, Su Xiao discovered that whether it was an ordinary Taba or the leader of the Qin · Lie Chao, one could not directly obtain World Source after killing them.
The only way to obtain World Source was to use the 'Ni Soul'. After use, one could obtain 10% of the World Source.
Su Xiao decided to keep it for now and not use it. His current World Source acquisition was 117.85%. If there was really hope of rushing to 150%, he would use the Ni Soul then; otherwise, it would be too wasteful.
Su Xiao had an impression of the one-armed blacksmith · Raglen who appeared in the prompt. He had once obtained a weapon named 【Asasaye】, which was forged by the blacksmith in the God Village.
A blacksmith capable of forging Holy Spirit-level weapons would definitely not be easy to find. Su Xiao even suspected that the three treasures of the Taba, the Dragon Heart Axe, the Qin Heart Blade, and the Source Bow, were all forged by this one-armed blacksmith.
After all the rewards were settled, Su Xiao had obtained a total of 850 Soul Coins and 210 Ba Souls. Killing the five elite Taba had yielded a lot of Ba Souls.
Su Xiao didn't waste this opportunity for Dead Silence Descent, which could only be used once per world. Compared to previous harvests, this was definitely a large amount of resources. But compared to what Su Xiao was about to do next, these gains were just an appetizer.
Baha spread its wings and had already flown to an altitude of over 5700 meters above the Heavenly Palace. Directly below was the Heavenly Palace.
Su Xiao and Baha were already below the cloud layer. Looking down at the Heavenly Palace below from here, the entire Heavenly Palace was like being built on a spiral giant peak, spectacular to the extreme.
Such a spectacular Heavenly Palace, viewed from Su Xiao's current altitude, was already somewhat small.
Su Xiao's arm exerted force, and he came to Baha's back from below. Because of Baha's body size, Su Xiao could only step on Baha's back with one foot. For what he was about to do next, this standing posture was not suitable.
"Boss, step on the head."
"Hmm."
Su Xiao's left foot stepped on Baha's head, and his right foot stepped on Baha's back. The high-altitude airflow made his clothes flutter loudly.
A glowing red gelatinous object appeared in Su Xiao's hand; it was 【Wrath of the Blazing Sun · Apollo】. He didn't throw the Apollo down directly to let the Taba in the Heavenly Palace eat the pineapple; the coordinates hadn't been set yet.
After waiting for a few minutes, the communicator in Su Xiao's bosom rang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had infiltrated the Heavenly Palace, had already set the coordinates, choosing an area where the Taba were most dense. Sending a signal at this time meant Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already withdrawn.
"Turn into ashes, Taba."
As Baha spoke, Su Xiao activated the Apollo in his hand. 15 seconds later, the Apollo would explode.
Click, click, click~
Crystal layers clung to Su Xiao's right hand. The Apollo in his hand emitted a strong light, like a small sun in the sky.
Su Xiao made a throwing posture, waiting for the Apollo to have 3 seconds left before exploding. From an altitude of over 5000 meters, with the speed he threw it, 3 seconds was enough.
Just when the Apollo had 3 seconds left before exploding, Su Xiao threw the Apollo in his hand with all his might.
Bang!!
The air exploded, and the residual sound remained. A blinding ray of light rushed straight downward, leaving a wisp of firelight that gradually thinned and dissipated along the way.
At the same time, inside the Heavenly Palace, many Taba were standing on the roofs of pavilions, having already entered a state of alert.
Inside a relatively low pavilion, the leader of the Qin sat cross-legged on the ground, and behind him was a sky-blue, irregularly shaped crystal. Careful observation would reveal that the lower left corner of this crystal had very inconspicuous damage marks, as if a small piece had been smashed off.
In the quiet room, the leader of the Qin was closing his eyes and thinking, considering whether he should prioritize finding the outsiders or prioritize guarding the 【Source】.
Just when the leader of the Qin was worried, the thing that could help him 'cure' his worries arrived.
It was only for an instant, but the leader of the Qin's sense of crisis was stimulated to the maximum. His first reaction was that someone had come to assassinate him, but he immediately abandoned this idea; the sense of crisis didn't come from one direction, but from all directions.
Thud!!
The leader of the Qin felt the board bed under his feet shake, and the entire pavilion was shaken off the ground.
A blinding golden-red light surged from ahead. This was not light, but surging solar flames.
With a whoosh, the solar flames surged past the leader of the Qin. The pavilion where he was located turned into ashes inch by inch, and the ashes were evaporated into a gaseous state due to the high temperature.
The leader of the Qin didn't even feel the pain of being burned by the solar flames at the first moment. He wanted to know what exactly had happened to the Heavenly Palace.
