Chapter 3017: Greeting Gift and Set Meal

First half area of the dream world, Gloomy Square.

Su Xiao walked out of the alley between the buildings. The Gloomy Square ahead had gusts of cold wind, but it didn't matter; it wouldn't be long before it got warm here.

Cluttered stone carvings were placed in the square, most of them had fallen over, and some had been smashed. There was no one in the Gloomy Square.

Su Xiao came to this place alone. He looked up toward the sky, where a monster bird was flying in mid-air.

"Bai Ye, I never thought about killing you. Your strength, my wisdom—joining forces to deal with the Ancient God is the wise choice."

The Great Sage's voice came, using the monster bird in mid-air as a medium.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just drew the long blade from his waist. Seeing this, the Great Sage stopped talking nonsense. The monster bird in mid-air exploded, turning into black blood that splattered everywhere.

Splat, splat~

Wet footsteps came from the surroundings. Beast tribes with light black hair all over their bodies, mixed with a foul stench in the dampness, walked out from around the square, completely surrounding Su Xiao.

The gazes of these beast tribes were turbid. It was unknown how many years they had stayed in the dream world. Their bodies indeed wouldn't decay, but their spirits had long since rotted.

Not only that, the souls of these beast tribes had clearly been modified. This made Su Xiao think of one point: was the Great Sage related to the Soul Zhong Ta faction?

The Soul Zhong Ta once supported the Light King, and even went to the White Town for pilgrimage. Time would change many things. The Light King's half-dead state couldn't continue to bind the Soul Zhong Ta. Those crazy scholars who studied souls and twisted them—there was nothing they couldn't do.

If Su Xiao's speculation was true, the major factions of this world had basically surfaced.

1. Great Sage faction: This side represented more than half of the beast tribes and was in collusion with the Soul Zhong Ta.

2. Mother God faction: Don't look at the Mother God admitting defeat before; in fact, she was hiding very deeply. A centipede dies but doesn't stiffen. The Mother God was once the only deity in this world and must have had believers supporting her. At the moment, these believers should all be hidden in the shadows.

3. Kodo School: This side didn't look like much, but don't forget one thing: the strong of the Kodo School were very scattered, dispersed all over the continent. If the Kodo School gathered these strong people back, its overall combat power would definitely not be underestimated.

4. Ancient God: At the current stage, the Ancient God was being sealed, and the specific situation was unknown.

5. White Town: At the moment, Su Xiao was the representative of the White Town. If the Demon Blacksmith was included, the White Town would completely crush all factions in this world. Unfortunately, the Demon Blacksmith wouldn't take action at all.

Initially, the situation in the Dark Star world was very simple: an Ancient God was sealed, and other factions were all in despair, waiting for the end of the world to come.

But as Su Xiao gradually explored, he found that it wasn't like that. Although the Great Sage and the Mother God didn't dare to face the Ancient God directly, the attitude they showed was that they weren't too afraid of the Ancient God breaking the seal.

The Kodo School was clearly also not afraid. Although it couldn't deal with the Ancient God, it had ways to protect itself.

As for the Soul Zhong Ta, they were very panicked at first, but after modifying their souls, they were completely high. Their method of curing fear was to excise part of their brain tissue.

Many people thought that faith fanatics were the most terrifying. In the Dark Star world, it wasn't like that. Those crazy scholars were even more terrifying.

Faith fanatics at least had sound brains and souls, but those crazy scholars didn't. They cut their brains wherever there was a problem. Have fear? Cut off part of the brain tissue. Have desire? Cut off part of the brain tissue. Have a traitor? Then cut off all his brain tissue and let him go 'aba aba.'

This made Su Xiao secretly decide in his heart that after dealing with the dream world, he would stop for a while, wait for the space-time power transaction to start, and after seizing the space-time power, he would focus on completing the main task.

It was getting more and more lively here. Heaven knows what changes would happen later. Even if the Ancient God suddenly broke the seal now, Su Xiao wouldn't feel surprised.

After all, in this world, there were faith fanatics, crazy scholars, the Great Sage (an old schemer who was especially good at surviving), and the Mother God who was patient to the point of being outrageous.

Simply put, these factions were all pretending to be grandsons. The reason was that whichever side appeared strong would be elected to deal with the Ancient God.

Fighting that Ancient God, human-sea tactics weren't as simple as throwing lives away; it was self-increasing the difficulty of the battle. Before the willpower reached a certain critical point, as long as one saw that Ancient God, one would be instantly enslaved and turned into a divine servant.

Su Xiao was a Law-Breaker. Ancient God energy couldn't erode his body. Furthermore, he was a Blade Technique Grandmaster and had the strongest resistance to mental influence among the same tier, which was why he could hunt gods.

Numerous beast tribes surrounded him from the surroundings. Pairs of turbid eyes looked at Su Xiao, and their withered yellow sharp teeth clicked.

"He is an Ancient God believer, tear him to shreds."

Following this shout, all the surrounding beast tribes pounced on Su Xiao.

'Blade Dao Blade · Super · Ring Slash.'

Zing!

The ring-shaped slash light spread. The rushing beast tribes all felt a numbness in their waists. Before they could stop their footsteps, their bodies were slashed from the chest and abdomen, and their arms were also severed by a section.

A large area of beast tribes pouncing from the surroundings fell. However, only a small part of them died. A few meters away from Su Xiao, a beast tribe member slashed into two segments was quickly crawling toward its lower body. Within the flesh and blood of its waist, translucent threads appeared. These threads went into the cross-section of its lower body's wound, pulling its severed body together and healing rapidly.

These translucent threads were composed of souls. There was no mistake; the Soul Zhong Ta must be in collusion with the Great Sage. Other factions didn't have this kind of soul technology.

"Roar."

A beast tribe member with a ferocious face pounced on Su Xiao. Su Xiao slashed diagonally, and half of the beast tribe member's skull flew out, dying on the spot.

Blade light crisscrossed. If one looked down from above, one would find that countless beast tribes were rushing from all directions, surrounding the Gloomy Square until it was impenetrable. The beast tribes even started trampling on each other.

The reason Su Xiao came here alone was for this purpose. The dream world was not small. If he didn't attract the beast tribes here to one area, the killing effect wouldn't be obvious.

Su Xiao was located in the siege of a large group of beast tribes. The long blade in his hand slashed repeatedly. Because the Dragon Flash had been promoted to the Immortal level, the feel of the blade cutting through the enemy's flesh and blood was exceptionally smooth, like cutting melons and vegetables. After he slashed dozens of beast tribe members, the body odor and blood stench in the surroundings became pungent.

Expanding the perception circle and determining the number of beast tribes in the surroundings, Su Xiao contacted Baha in the sky through the team channel.

A sense of crisis suddenly struck from above. Even for Su Xiao, there was a stinging sensation in his perception. It was 【Fury of the Sun · Apollo】.

Don't look at the beast tribes in the dream world being ferocious; facts proved that they were also afraid. At this moment, the surrounding beast tribes were all looking up at the sky, and some simply turned and fled.

Baha had been prepared for a long time. After Su Xiao contacted it, it first increased its flight altitude, then activated Apollo at an altitude of over 3000 meters, and then threw Apollo down. By the time the enemy reacted, it was already too late.

Apollo turned into a golden line of fire and headed straight down. The beast tribes around Su Xiao had already fled. The long blade in his hand returned to its sheath, his legs bent slightly, and he leaned his upper body slightly forward.

With a bang, Su Xiao left a giant crater in place, leaping toward the distance like a cannonball out of the chamber.

Thud!!

Apollo exploded the moment it landed. At first, it was a dazzling golden light, then the golden fireball expanded, instantly expanding to a diameter of 3 kilometers.

Within the solar flames, a beast tribe member's hair burned all over its body. It held its head and wailed. Its body first dissolved, then turned into ashes, and finally even the ashes were scorched to gasification by the high temperature.

"Oh gods, is this the punishment for entering the dream?"

An exceptionally tall beast tribe member was kneeling on the ground, wailing in pain. The pain only lasted for 1.2 seconds before it was gasified.

At the edge of the solar flames, Su Xiao rushed out from the solar flames and ended the space penetration state. Just now, he had used Dragon Shadow Flash three times in a row, entering the space penetration state for a total of 6 seconds, before rushing out from the range of the solar flames.

Su Xiao's long leather coat was covered in sparks, and the crystal layer wrapped around his body surface was cracked. Experiments proved that within the explosion range of 【Fury of the Sun · Apollo】, even if one penetrated space, one couldn't avoid the solar flames. The high temperature scorched through space. This was the effect caused by high-amount real fire damage.

"Hoo~"

Su Xiao exhaled a breath of hot air. He didn't look at the kill prompts; there were too many, and they were frantically 'scrolling the screen.'

Baha swooped down and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. Carrying Baha, Su Xiao walked toward the direction of the thick fog area.

Deep in the dream world, in front of the Cathedral, the Great Sage looked at the giant fireball in the distance. When he first saw this thing just now, he even suspected that the sun had fallen.

"Just like this, it still can't crush me."

The Great Sage's gaze was calm, but the wooden staff in his hand had been gripped until it clicked. Those beast tribes that were blown up were accumulated by the Great Sage for many years, tricked and cheated, before he got them into the dream world, and then carried out soul modification.

Encountering the current situation, that was the Great Sage who had survived for hundreds of years. If it were someone else, their mentality would have collapsed long ago.

It could be said that the Great Sage thought things were too simple. There were 'combination set meals' waiting for him later. ===== CHAPTER 3018 =====
