Chapter 2879: Dungeon Killing God

Seeing the attributes of 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】, Su Xiao knew what the core bonus of Immortal Grade equipment was. For example, the Core Passive of 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】 was that every time an enemy was injured, the enemy's maximum health limit would be reduced.

Su Xiao's maximum health limit was 100%. Once injured by 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】 a few times, it would slide to 65%. Even if a recovery potion was drunk, it could only be restored to a maximum of 65%, which was extremely fatal in battle. The name 'Death Notice' was very appropriate.

Once injured by 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】, apart from having high enough soul strength to allow soul injuries to self-heal, one could only rely on potions like 【Holy Fire Baptism】 that restored soul damage.

【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】 also had a characteristic: once the enemy's soul injury could not be recovered for a long time, it would cause the maximum health limit to permanently decrease to 65%.

Perhaps there was a way to recover after returning to Reincarnation Paradise. As for what the price was, one didn't need to think to know it would be very high. Under such circumstances, the 【Holy Fire Baptism】 potion, which could recover permanent soul damage, was very useful.

On the attributes of 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】, other attributes were normal colors, only 'Equipment Effect 2: Death Notice (Core Passive)' had a dark golden font, and soul flames seemed to be slowly burning on it, looking very conspicuous.

Fighting against an enemy holding 【Soul Scythe - Death Notice】, the role of recovery items and healing-type contractors would drop by more than half.

The maximum health limit was reduced to 65%. Even if the healer's healing amount broke through the sky, the effect wouldn't be obvious. Tank-type contractors would cry in the toilet when seeing this weapon.

Su Xiao was looking forward to what the core bonus of Dragon Flash was. After all, the core bonus of every Immortal Grade piece of equipment was different, which made the characteristics of Immortal Grade equipment more distinct.

243 Soul Coins remained, not enough to exchange for other favorite items. Su Xiao was just about to leave the right side hall to go to the Ring Water Altar to fight Rogesh to the death, when he discovered that the Soul Skeleton ahead had undergone some slight changes.

On the metal cup held by the Soul Skeleton, all six gemstones had turned blue. Before, this Soul Skeleton wasn't like this. Only the two Soul Skeletons in the 'Prayer Site' and 'Holy Sacrifice Hall' had all six gemstones on the metal cup turn blue. Other Soul Skeletons had half a gemstone that was fluorescent white.

Su Xiao's index finger touched the gemstone of the metal cup. He felt that this gemstone connected to a certain place.

Of the six gemstones, except for one that didn't have this feeling, the other five were like this. Su Xiao thought of a possibility. He concentrated his mental power on the first gemstone.

The Backflow Incense overflowing from the metal cup spread toward Su Xiao. The surroundings turned pitch black. A few seconds later, the pitch black around him gradually faded. He was already located inside a prison cell, and in front of him was a Soul Skeleton.

This was the Painful Dungeon, and the Soul Skeleton in front was the first Soul Skeleton Su Xiao activated.

Discovering this point, Su Xiao thought that the six Soul Skeletons were already connected to each other, and could teleport between the six places with Soul Skeletons without consuming Soul Coins.

Su Xiao planned the route in his mind. After finishing a certain thing, he wouldn't return to the Royal Palace, but go to the Qiliade Royal City Prayer Site, which was closer to the Ring Water Altar.

Su Xiao walked toward the inner side of the Painful Dungeon. He had to return to the underground passage and go to the large stone house in the Barren Village. Dudu Gugu was there. Returning to the large stone house to obtain Dudu Gugu's buff was the key before the decisive battle with Rogesh.

At the same time, in the central area of the Qiliade Royal City.

The Priest stood before a stone well. He took out a cloth bag containing more than two hundred seeds and poured all the seeds inside into the well mouth.

This stone well was about seven meters wide, pitch black inside, and bottomless. More than two hundred seeds fell into the well for more than ten seconds, and vines the thickness of an arm grew wildly out.

Just as these vines grew out, the Priest took out a scepter, which was the Judgment Scepter. This was the reason he cooperated with Rogesh.

After the Priest took out the Judgment Scepter, the wildly growing vines in the well rolled toward him, wrapping him within them, and continued to grow wildly upward.

Before long, these intertwined vines stood between heaven and earth like a pillar composed of plants.

Sunlight scattered down and was absorbed by these vines, finally gathering together. The entire sky dimmed, and the 'Sun' in the sky seemed to lose its color.

Crack~

A crack appeared on the 'Sun', and golden liquid flowed down from the sky like a waterfall, pouring onto the vine pillar and being absorbed by the vine pillar. The Priest was at the very center of the vine pillar. What he was coveting was the Sun of the Holy Land, or rather, the energy within the 'Sun'.

The Priest's goal was to convert the energy within the 'Sun' through a unique vine in the Holy Land, converting it into Sun Power possessing plant characteristics.

He didn't want to absorb this Sun Power, nor did he want to become a Sun Warrior, but wanted to rely on this Sun Power, which had been filtered by plants and possessed life + scorching light characteristics, to wash away the Ancient God power in his body, so that this power wouldn't continue to erode his body, corrupt his soul, and he wanted to completely master this kind of power.

If the Priest really succeeded, then he would be the first human to master Ancient God power without being influenced by other high-position Ancient Gods and without being eroded by Ancient God power. No one had done this, never before.

From the beginning, the Priest hadn't been worshipping Ancient Gods. He was a shepherd of gods, but he liked to steal and eat the lambs, elegantly and slowly tearing off a piece of raw meat, placing it in his mouth to chew slowly, and finally smiling and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a napkin. This was the Priest.

Barren Village, inside the large stone house.

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the stone plate in front of the wall. Several cold small bone hands were grabbing his hand, performing a buff on him.

Su Xiao's current True Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes were all 194 points. Dudu Gugu could temporarily increase the three attributes by 4 points, allowing them to reach 199 points. Plus, after Su Xiao opened the Dragon Hunter Set, the three attributes would increase by 5 points within five minutes.

In this way, Su Xiao's True Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes all reached 200 points. Breaking through 200 points couldn't be done for the time being.

This was the strongest state Su Xiao could reach at the current stage. He threw a piece of Soul Crystal Fragment into his mouth and began to wait.

More than half an hour later, Bubu Wang brought Amu into the large stone house. For some reason, after Su Xiao returned to the large stone house, he discovered that the scorching of the 'Sun' had weakened. A few minutes later, it reached a degree where one could move freely in the Holy Land even without drinking the Sun Potion.

This was highly likely done by the Priest. It could be said that this helped Su Xiao unintentionally. As a major combat power of Su Xiao's team, if Amu was present in the battle with Rogesh, the chance of winning would be higher.

After Amu arrived, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. The hidden danger he was worried about before had come. Right now, the Priest wouldn't take action. As long as he solved the other hidden danger, he could deal with Rogesh with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao walked toward the secret passage on the wall of the stone house. He didn't close the secret passage after he left. Others would come to this large stone house. Letting the jailers in the Painful Dungeon greet these people was the best choice. About to start a war with Rogesh, he had to save his stamina and maintain his peak state.

At this time, in the warm forest outside the Barren Village, several figures were hiding behind trees, looking at the Barren Village from afar.

"Is there really no problem? This is a Seventh-Tier high-risk area."

"No problem."

A very magnetic male voice came. This was a man who combed his hair meticulously and wore a striped suit.

"You guys, don't have any ghost ideas."

The Moon Apostle hiding behind the tree spoke. Near her was Morey.

In fact, Morey and the Moon Apostle had already scouted half of the ancient capital of the Eastern Continent. In the situation of nearly being heat-stupid, the two climbed the Sun Ladder and arrived at the top floor. The stealth-type summoned creature of the Moon Apostle was the first to see Amu.

Seeing Amu meant that they were not far from Su Xiao. After squatting for 5 hours, the stealth-type summoned creature responsible for watching conveyed the message to the Moon Apostle that the bull-headed man had entered the 'door'.

Learning this news, the Moon Apostle was very happy. She had once nearly been slaughtered by Su Xiao, so this time she was educated by the Black Demon, and thus she decided to be an old schemer for once, observing in secret and waiting for an opportunity.

"Is there really no problem? I feel that there is a big problem in this place, not a place we should come to."

Morey looked around at the surroundings. It was just a wetland forest terrain, yet she felt inexplicably panicked.

"It's fine. With those guys there, if we die, they will die first."

The enemy was already in front. Retreating at this time was already impossible. Su Xiao activated the Dragon Hunter Pendant on his neck. With this thing, the probability of him winning could be improved a lot.

Rogesh's survivability was very strong, but Su Xiao's survivability wasn't weak either after activating the Dragon Hunter Set.

Su Xiao activated the Dragon Hunter Set's ability. A thick energy appeared in his body and was quickly absorbed by his body.

Set Effect: Dragon Hunter (Active). After opening this ability, it will forcibly extract the Dragon Blood Power within this equipment. True Strength +5, True Agility +5, True Stamina +5, Maximum Health +46%, Stamina recovery speed significantly increased.

Hint: This effect lasts for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 10 natural days. Each activation requires consuming Soul Crystal (Complete) x1.

Hint: After this bonus effect ends, if the wearer's health is lower than 50%, a life force recovery effect will be obtained. This is a continuous recovery effect until one's own health is higher than 50%.

Hint: If this recovery effect continues for a long time, it will significantly consume the durability of the Dragon Hunter Set. When the equipment durability reaches 0 points, the recovery effect will be forcibly interrupted.

Wisps of blood mist rose on Su Xiao's body surface. His health suddenly increased by a large margin, an increase of nearly half.

With a boom, water splashed under Su Xiao's feet. He rushed forward at full speed. Amu followed behind him. Baja broke through a gas explosion and headed straight for the sky above Rogesh. Bubu Wang hid at the edge of the valley, with all three aura abilities fully opened.

Wherever Su Xiao passed, the splashed water was scattered by him. The long sword in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground, the tip of the sword submerged in the water. When he was still more than ten meters away from Rogesh, he slashed upward with his sword, the tip of the sword bringing up a water mark.

Crack, crack, crack~

The arc-shaped water mark was frozen. The cold air, with the help of this water mark, spread in the air like plant roots, freezing Rogesh within it.

The long sword tore through the air, slashing straight toward Rogesh's neck. This was Su Xiao's fighting style: either don't fight, or slash straight at the vital parts.

Clang!

The long sword that slashed out a residual image stopped. An impact spread with Su Xiao and Rogesh as the center. The surrounding accumulated water surged away, revealing the stone surface below. Rogesh's left hand was raised, blocking in front of his neck. At this time, his left hand was already pitch black.

The blade of Dragon Flash slashed open Rogesh's palm, submerged less than one centimeter, and couldn't advance any further, blocked by the Dark Barrier condensed in the other party's hand. This was the first time an enemy had blocked the slash of a Holy Spirit Grade Dragon Flash with their bare hands. ===== CHAPTER 2881 =====

"!"

The Moon Apostle was like being struck by lightning. She looked at Morey, and both understood the other's meaning. Retreat, leave this place immediately.

"Just such a small monster? 7 Soul Coins? This is a high-yield area."

The suit man was clearly addicted to mining. Some things, he hadn't thought of.

A group of people also discovered that a jailer holding a large single-edged axe was climbing on the ceiling covered in black filth. When it arrived above the eight people, it landed silently.

Puchi!

The large axe stained with dried blood and broken flesh slashed down, splitting a contractor holding a small round shield into two halves. The armor and defensive gear on his body were like a layer of paper.

Before in the dungeon, the Priest was nearly killed in seconds by several jailers working together. With the Priest's strength, under the defense of tentacles, he resisted a few strikes and was nearly on the verge of death.

Warm blood splashed on the Moon Apostle's face. She had guessed this would happen before. Killing a miscellaneous soldier-level enemy actually had a kill reward of 7 Soul Coins. To what extent would this ghost place be dangerous?

The large axe jailer succeeded in one strike. It was like a dungeon killing god. The large axe in its hand swept horizontally, the wind sound wailing, and the speed of the large axe slashing was extremely fast, making people not only doubt whether it was a hidden boss.

With a squelch, the large axe slashed into the suit man's body. An arm flew up, and the large axe was stuck by his bones and flesh. The axe blade was only 5 centimeters away from his heart. The suit man let out a miserable howl, no longer caring about maintaining his demeanor in front of Morey and the Moon Apostle.

"Roar."

The jailer roared, its eyes turned golden-red, and its entire body was like shattered porcelain. The 'Dungeon Killing God' was about to self-destruct.

Boom!

Flame explosion, the Moon Apostle and others were blown back, gravel and broken iron railings flew horizontally, and the suit man's corpse fell into a prison cell.

The Holy Land Qiliade gave these people a lesson, which was: without Eighth-Tier strength, don't even come to the edge area, and there were even more dangerous 'Qiliade Royal City', 'King's Palace', 'Gallery' and other areas behind.

Compared to the Great Axe Brother, the large axe jailer was simply a little brother among little brothers.

Above the city wall, Su Xiao closed the screen fed back by the mechanical bee. The Moon Apostle had too many space-type items. Once encountering danger, she would immediately use space-type items to escape.

Su Xiao arrived before the Soul Skeleton on the city wall, pointed his index finger at the third gemstone on the metal cup, and the pitch-black Backflow Incense shrouded him within it. A few seconds later, the darkness faded, and he arrived at the Qiliade Royal City Prayer Site.

According to the route provided by the Nightmare Prince, Su Xiao walked through the buildings. Not long after walking out, he saw marks on the wall. These marks were very new.

Looking at these marks, Su Xiao had a premonition that the situation was not good. He quickened his pace. The buildings around became increasingly sparse. In the end, there were no buildings nearby.

The location of the Ring Water Altar was on the east side of the Royal City. This place was once a place for the Royal Family to play, and civilians were forbidden to enter or exit.

Su Xiao stopped near a giant rock. A figure covered in blood was leaning against the rock. Blood that had already begun to thicken was dripping from the other party's chin.

"Wuqi."

Su Xiao opened his mouth. Hearing his voice, Wuqi slowly raised his head, opening his eyes that had already dimmed with misty light.

"Bai Ye, you came. Cough, cough, cough, I... was careless. I met an old friend and thought about killing Rogesh together with him. I was somewhat... distrustful of you, hehehehehe."

Wuqi grinned, revealing teeth full of blood.

"Rogesh didn't come to hunt me down. He... didn't treat me as an enemy at all, didn't put me in his eyes. This is weakness, and also shame."

After Wuqi finished this sentence, he lowered his head. He wasn't dead, but he couldn't be saved either. All his internal organs had become paste, and his entire inner cavity was like a water pot, filled with this paste.

Su Xiao stepped forward to continue moving. When he stopped, he was already standing above a circular valley. The diameter of this valley was about several hundred meters. The surrounding rock walls were very steep, almost vertical, and covered in moss.

The Great Axe Brother, whose entire armor was twisted, lay to the side. His blood flowed down the rock wall, leaving a very large red mark on the rock wall.

Su Xiao looked into the valley. The ground of the valley was flat rock. The waterfall flew down, making the stone surface have nearly ten centimeters of accumulated water, which could reach the ankles. Beyond this height, the accumulated water flowed away along the stone holes on the surrounding rock walls.

This was the Ring Water Altar. The waterfall flowed down, the moss covering the rock walls, and the very shallow accumulated water on the ground made the scenery here very beautiful. Under this beautiful scenery, Rogesh, whose full head of black long hair hung past his knees, was standing before the waterfall.

Su Xiao leaped down from above the valley. Before he landed in the accumulated water, his downward momentum slowed. After his feet stepped on the accumulated water, ripples were stirred up.

The ripples spread toward Rogesh. Ripples also appeared under Rogesh's feet. The two ripples touched each other.

Boom!

Blood energy and soul energy surged wildly. One red and one black collided and eroded each other, each occupying half of the Ring Water Altar area. The water droplets splashing in mid-air were all stilled.

Rogesh, wearing the Dark Mask, turned around. The pupils under the mask were very calm. He stared at Su Xiao.

"Bai Ye, are you here to avenge Xixiluo?"

Rogesh opened his mouth in a flat tone.

Clang.

The long sword left its sheath. Su Xiao didn't say a word. He wasn't here to avenge Xixiluo. Everyone had different choices, and Xixiluo made his own choice, thus dying.

Su Xiao came here just to slaughter Rogesh, nothing more. Either he died in battle here, or Rogesh was slashed to death. ===== CHAPTER 2880 =====
