Chapter 3569: Sin Aggregate
Inside the Atonement Hall, the air seemed to echo with the babbling of the dead, but if one listened carefully, one could hear nothing.
Behind was the black fog door rushing down. This black fog door only allowed entry, not exit, or rather, this indicated that once facing sin, there was no chance to turn back.
The broken limbs and arms everywhere were now turning into burning debris flying upward. 12 Wolf Knights and the 30 Choir members behind them were amidst this flying debris, as if at this moment, the glory of the Old Church reappeared.
In the old days, the Wolf Knight team was the sharpest sword of killing, fighting against the invasion of the abyss on the front line, while the Choir was the guardian of the rear, preventing the abyss from invading the places where people lived.
And now, Su Xiao was facing the Wolf Knight team and the Choir at the same time. Although these were all transformed by the split individuals of the Sin Aggregate, these individuals indeed contained part of the soul power of the Wolf Knights and Choir members.
The good news was that among the 12 Wolf Knights, there was no Wolf Knight Captain, and fortunately there wasn't, otherwise it would be completely impossible to fight. And the 30 Choir members, although they looked numerous, they couldn't fuse into one, meaning they couldn't become the true Saint Heart One.
In the known power ranking of the Silent City, the top three were either gods or demigods. The fourth and fifth places were occupied by the Wolf Knight Captain and the Choir (30 fused into 1 state).
The one ranked sixth was the Sin Aggregate. Now it seemed that this ranking wasn't very accurate. The combat power of the Sin Aggregate was very close to the Choir. If not careful, the Sin Aggregate was ranked fifth.
If possible, Su Xiao wouldn't come to fight the Sin Aggregate alone, but would gather other "good teammates." The problem was, now that he had Source Stones, he didn't have proof objects.
Unable to absorb Source Stones with proof objects, he couldn't bring a shelter effect. Relying only on the level 5 shelter provided by the shelter stone, coming to this place was seeking his own death.
The pressure rushed toward him, but for some reason, Su Xiao always had the feeling that he had at least a 60% chance of winning against the Sin Aggregate. The strong enemy ahead was both fatal and not to the extent of being completely impossible to deal with.
Su Xiao looked around at the 12 Wolf Knights ahead, as well as the 30 Choir members. The Wolf Knights were all wearing silver-black battle armor. That was originally moonlight silver, and later eroded into black by the abyss, which was the unique color of the Wolf Knight battle armor. The exterior of the battle armor was eroded to be rough, but the defensive power was excellent.
The 30 Choir members were wearing full-body battle armor made of metal armor and dark red cloth. Because the Choir were all female members, the shape of the battle armor was relatively slim, and combined with cloth, it had both beauty.
Su Xiao was clear about one point: what he had to do was not just defeat these 42 enemies. After the Sin Aggregate transformed into this form, he discovered that the Sin Aggregate had a core. To be precise, it should be called the "Main Soul."
Only by eliminating the "Main Soul" could the Sin Aggregate be eliminated in the true sense. Otherwise, the Sin Aggregate would continuously "resurrect" the incomplete souls it had assimilated. If it "resurrected" the Wolf Knight Captain, it would be over.
At this moment, the "Main Soul" of the Sin Aggregate was inside the body of one of these 42 enemies ahead. Finding this "Main Soul" and killing the body it was attached to was the primary thing, rather than fighting to the death with the Wolf Knight team + Choir.
However, Su Xiao was also worried about one problem, which was whether the "Main Soul" of the Sin Aggregate could freely transfer between the Wolf Knights and the Choir members. If it could transfer, it would be difficult to kill.
Amidst the flying debris, Su Xiao's perception was fully unleashed. Just then, his brow suddenly felt a stinging pain; it was a warning perception pain.
Clang!
A sharp and metallic stabbing sound rushed toward him. Within the perception circle, Su Xiao's perception hadn't yet captured the incoming enemy when a spiral spear had already stabbed toward his face. The sharpness and agility of this spear reached a degree that was shocking. If it weren't for Su Xiao's "Intuition" ability having reached Lv. 70, and having upgraded the "Perception Basic Passive · Awakening" to Lv. MAX, this spear wouldn't have been perceived.
Crack!
Broken light blue crystals splashed everywhere. Looking at Su Xiao again, he was already wrapped in crystals, and maintained a side-head posture. What was strange was that the crystals beside him, as if recording his slow-motion movement, formed a connected crystal statue. What was pierced by the spear was the head of the crystal statue maintaining an upright posture.
The principle of this was to wrap himself with crystals while they were still active, not letting them solidify, while he performed dodging, and let the crystals constantly form, pushing him to assist in dodging.
This feeling was like having an invisible hand pushing him aside while dodging an attack. Precisely because of this, it would form a connected crystal statue like a slow-motion snapshot.
Although this move hadn't been named yet, when dodging surprise attacks and stabbing attacks, it had a faster speed than Dragon Shadow Flash. Dragon Shadow Flash still had a process of penetrating space, while this move was faster.
Of course, if dodging horizontal slashes, blunt strikes, or large-scale energy attacks, Dragon Shadow Flash was still stronger. Right now, this move was limited to dodging single-target ultra-high-speed attacks.
With a whoosh, Su Xiao's black hair was blown up. He faintly perceived a Choir member brushing past him. The speed of the other party was so fast that it couldn't be captured by perception.
The dark blue in the center of Su Xiao's pupils immediately turned into light blue. This was caused by switching to the "Soul-Severing Shadow" mode. He had previously activated the "Soul-Slash · Soul Core," but right now he switched to the "Rapid · Soul Core."
Ignoring the multiple crises rushing from ahead, he slashed forward with his blade while already activating the Dragon Shadow Flash ability, moving 3 meters backward.
The moment Su Xiao moved through space, a spiral spear stabbed toward his back. It was the Choir member whose speed was unreasonably fast.
Pfft.
Blood splashed everywhere. Su Xiao was pierced through the back of the heart. A petite Choir member with a cloak like wings on her back appeared behind Su Xiao. This was the previous Saint Heart One.
With a slap, the "Su Xiao" pierced through the back of the heart exploded, turning into crystal fragments and diffusing blood smoke.
Almost simultaneously, Su Xiao, who had just flashed three meters backward with Dragon Shadow Flash, had already slashed out. This time, he was behind the Saint Heart One.
No matter how fast the Saint Heart One was, she couldn't dodge this slash because this was a slash Su Xiao had already made in advance while activating Dragon Shadow Flash.
Pfft.
The Saint Heart One's spine was slashed open. Even with battle armor defense, the wound was still very deep.
Whoosh~
The Saint Heart One swept out a golden-red afterimage, moving away from Su Xiao. Petite in stature, she stood on the ceiling with both feet, hanging upside down, and the white fishbone braid protruding from behind her head armor hung down.
Slashing back the astonishingly fast Saint Heart One with one slash, Su Xiao immediately raised his blade to block. He hadn't forgotten that there were 41 other enemies ahead.
Clang! Clang!
Two wolf swords slashed over. The ground under Su Xiao's feet blasted open. He felt his right arm go numb instantly.
At the same time, a Wolf Knight nearly 3.5 meters tall, holding a wolf greatsword, had arrived at Su Xiao's side. He saw him quickly cling a crystal layer to his right leg and kick toward Su Xiao's side.
Thump!!!
Su Xiao turned into a straight afterimage, disappearing into the side wall. The next instant, smoke and dust surged, and three spiral spears of the Choir stabbed into the smoke and dust.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks splashed everywhere. The three spiral spears stabbed into the smoke and dust were slashed away, turning 90 degrees with full force, flying to both sides.
Su Xiao held his side rib with one hand, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. This side kick was so damn Law-Exterminator-like. That energy crystalization, then covering the body surface, was definitely the direct inheritance passed down by the previous generation of Law-Exterminators to the Moon Wolf, and then taught by the Moon Wolf to them.
The situation was worse than expected. Su Xiao was hesitating whether to use 【Drifting Bait】 to retreat temporarily.
This thought just appeared when he saw flames burning on the petite Saint Heart One a few dozen meters away. These flames were much deeper than ordinary flames, faintly revealing the dark red of magma. This was... Sin Fire.
Su Xiao confirmed that what was burning on the Saint Heart One was Sin Fire. The reason was that he had just slashed the other party once.
"God-Judging Ring · Equipment Effect 2: Sin Fire (Passive), when attacking with any melee means, there is a probability of igniting the enemy's sin, thereby causing a continuous soul-burning effect (if the enemy has no sin, this ability is invalid).
Prompt: If the wearer kills a new Evil God, the ability obtained from God-Slaying will forcibly replace this ability."
Su Xiao generally didn't like this kind of probability-based ability, but this time, Sin Fire was destined to make him look at it with new eyes.
First, the intensity of Sin Fire. The Sin God was called the strongest Tier 8 Old God. The intensity of the Sin Flame produced after its fall could be imagined.
Secondly, the probability-based triggering. The characteristic of Sin Fire was that the greater the enemy's sin, the higher the ignition probability. Su Xiao was currently dealing with a strong enemy named Sin Aggregate.
This also resulted in Sin Fire, which was originally probability-based, becoming guaranteed to trigger when dealing with the Sin Aggregate.
The Saint Heart One a few dozen meters away was already covered in Sin Fire. This Sin Flame burned more and more vigorously. Her originally pitch-black eyes revealed a pair of amber pupils, combined with her very long white fishbone braid. In terms of temperament, all he could say was that she was worthy of being the previous Saint Heart One.
The Saint Heart One nodded to Su Xiao, and then she turned into ashes in the Sin Flame.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao knew that this fight was going to be a tough one. It seemed that the enemy was numerous and he was few, but with the blessing of the God-Judging Ring, Sin Fire, he only needed to slash the enemy, regardless of position or depth of the wound, it was a slash to ignite Sin Fire, thereby achieving a one-slash kill.
Of course, slashing out blade light, or using blade art moves like Ring-Severing or Green Ghost was useless. That belonged to mid-range attacks. The blessing effect of the God-Judging Ring was limited to Su Xiao himself and the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.
With a clatter, gravel slid down from the giant crater on the wall behind Su Xiao. It seemed he was semi-encircled in this place, but in fact, it avoided being attacked from all sides.
Boom!
Attacks rushed from the surroundings, and the wind pressure caused a loud noise.
Between the wolf sword and the spiral spear, Su Xiao's perception was unleashed to the limit, forming a perception circle with a diameter of 10 meters. In his perception, everything around him slowed down, and so did he.
With a sizzle, the blade of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan brushed past a stabbing spiral spear, bringing up a string of sparks while changing its stabbing trajectory, letting its spear blade brush past Su Xiao's cheek. Even though it left a bloodstain, it was much better than being pierced through the head.
Just after blocking the spiral spear, a wolf greatsword, carrying a whimpering slashing sound, slashed toward Su Xiao's neck from the side. He didn't choose to dodge. The reason was that this wolf greatsword was already severely damaged, and it was only one last sufficiently powerful collision away from breaking.
Click, click, click~
A crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's left hand. He swung his fist sideways. Compared to having his left hand slashed off, trying to see if he could hard-shake this attack was more important, otherwise, there was no way to perform subsequent chain parries.
Clang!
The crystal layer splashed everywhere. The wolf greatsword was broken by Su Xiao's side-swinging punch. This weapon, which had conquered the Abyssal battlefield and experienced the vicissitudes of years, slashed its last strike.
At this moment, Su Xiao had already closed his eyes. The reason was that there were too many enemies around, not because of the flying debris, so he could only rely on perception.
While breaking the wolf greatsword with one punch, Su Xiao jumped with the help of the reaction force, which let the three slashing wolf swords slash empty, and two spiral spears nailed into the ground.
Zing!
The slash light flashed and disappeared. When Su Xiao appeared again, he was already on the other side of the hall. Three spiral spears pierced through his torso in a crisscross pattern, and a wolf greatsword stabbed into his chest, only a finger's width away from injuring his heart.
The blood flowing from Su Xiao's wound turned into blood energy. These blood energies clung to his back, turning into extendable blood energy arms, holding the spiral spears and wolf swords stabbed into him, pulling them out. Finally, all the blood energy arms dissipated.
Su Xiao was not lightly injured, but among the group of Wolf Knights and Choir members, five of them suffered slashes when Su Xiao swept past like a blood shadow.
Whoosh, two Wolf Knights and three Choir members surged with Sin Fire. Soon, they were burned into ashes. There were still 36 enemies left.
Drip, drip~
Blood dripped along the tip of the blade. Su Xiao held the blade with one hand, the tip pointing diagonally to the ground. Suddenly, Sin Fire ignited on the long blade.
"Blade Art · Flow."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The elegant wind marks slashed onto the incoming wolf swords. Su Xiao suddenly appeared behind a Wolf Knight, but this Wolf Knight reacted extremely quickly. A burst of dark energy erupted from his body, accompanied by a fierce wolf roar.
Su Xiao's ears buzzed. When he came back to his senses, he was already a few dozen meters away to the side, and half-submerged in the wall. This was being stunned by the previous Abyssal wolf roar, and then blasted to this place by another Wolf Knight.
Although his whole body felt like his bones were about to fall apart, Su Xiao was still sharp. He leaned backward, and a spiral spear brushed past his chin, clattering into the wall.
Wind pressure rushed from the side, and Su Xiao's pupils gradually tightened.
"Blade Art · Time."
Thump~
Time's domain expanded. Su Xiao's perception clearly captured a spiral spear stabbing toward his side neck. His right hand hooked, tossing the long blade in his hand.
The long blade flew past the ear of a Choir member. Space fluctuations appeared, and Su Xiao appeared behind this Choir member. He held the hilt of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan in a reverse grip, and while turning his body, he stabbed backhand with one blade, the long blade piercing through the neck of this Choir member.
After killing the enemy with one blade, the long blade flicked outward, taking advantage of the momentum to slash forward, blocking the wolf greatsword slashing toward his face.
With a clatter, Su Xiao was deliberately slashed away. In mid-air, the long blade in his hand flipped, changing from a reverse grip to a forward grip. He took advantage of the momentum to stand on the ceiling, tilting his head in an upside-down posture with his head facing down. A spiral spear that was tossed flew past his ear.
Sizzle~
The boundary-breaking thread wrapped around this spiral spear tightened. Su Xiao was taken away by the momentum of the spiral spear. Upon landing, he held the spiral spear with one hand, holding the blade in one hand and the long spear in the other, rushing toward a Wolf Knight.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
The continuous slashes and spear sweeps made this Wolf Knight retreat two steps. Immediately after, blood energy clung to the long spear, relying on the spear blade, forming a huge axe blade with blood energy.
Su Xiao swung his stance, hacking down with his spear-axe. After striking the wolf greatsword opposite him, the blood axe exploded with a boom. The resulting impact caused the blood smoke, which could block perception and line of sight, to disperse.
Zing~
The light and elegant slash flashed and disappeared. The slashed Wolf Knight turned into a dark energy form. A moment later, he appeared a few meters behind. He raised his hand to press his throat. The neck armor was broken, and a slash mark was exceptionally obvious. With a whoosh, Sin Fire ignited on his body.
Su Xiao disappeared into a blood shadow, and the roaring sound continued in the Atonement Hall.
Half an hour later.
Thump!
Su Xiao hammered a Choir member straight into the wall, and then slashed off the arm holding the spiral spear with one blade. Sin Fire appeared on the other party's body.
"Blood Smoke Cannon."
Su Xiao pointed at a Choir member rushing over. A straight blood energy ray blasted out, but this Choir member didn't dodge or evade. Even if her shoulder was pierced, she still chose to rush toward Su Xiao.
Suddenly, this Choir member stopped. Sin Fire ignited on her body with a whoosh. If observed carefully, one would find that with the help of the previous "Blood Smoke Cannon," a spirit shadow thread had entered her wound. On this spirit shadow thread, Sin Fire was burning.
With a buzz, golden light balls appeared beside Su Xiao. Before he could react, these golden light balls the size of walnuts exploded one after another.
Boom, boom, boom...
The explosion was so loud that it shook the Atonement Hall. When the energy explosion ended, Su Xiao, covered in tattered crystal layers, half-squatted on the ground, blood dripping along his chin. There were two enemies left.
The "Main Soul" of the Sin Aggregate had nowhere to hide. Su Xiao confirmed that this "Main Soul" was inside the Choir member opposite.
Fighting to this extent, Su Xiao had discovered the key. Whether it was the Wolf Knight team or the Choir members, their combat power was quite different from when they were alive; it was just that there were too many of them.
An even more important point was that the Sin Aggregate was more difficult to deal with than imagined. It had an ability that could "resurrect" a powerhouse with an incomplete soul every few minutes.
Up to now, Su Xiao had killed 16 Wolf Knights (incomplete combat power form), as well as 35 Choir members, plus 11 great warriors of the God era.
If there were no Sin Fire, for Su Xiao, the Sin Aggregate would be more difficult to deal with than the Choir. Or rather, fighting to the end, he could only retreat with 【Drifting Bait】.
This ability to "resurrect" a powerhouse every few minutes was really too difficult to deal with. Plus, the "Main Soul" of the Sin Aggregate could freely transfer between the powerhouses it "resurrected." What was even more fatal was that Sin Fire couldn't burn this "Main Soul" to death in a short time.
The long blade in Su Xiao's hand stabbed into the head of a great warrior. This great warrior, who was kicked straight until only his upper body remained, ignited with Sin Fire.
He was not lightly injured. In order to reduce the number of enemies as quickly as possible, he chose to kill by injury several times to avoid the Sin Aggregate "resurrecting" more powerhouses.
Su Xiao had just solved the great warrior when the Choir member opposite spread black semi-fluid from her whole body. It was caused by the "Main Soul" of the Sin Aggregate. It wanted to enter another form to destroy the strong enemy of this battle.
Black mud surged out, turning into a half-human, half-beast form. This monster stood in a human-like posture, but it had eight arms, and behind it were bone spurs bending backward. Painful faces appeared all over this monster's body.
"Ah!!"
The sharp shrieks mixed with men, women, old, and young spread. This sound was like tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more people shrieking at the same time. This double attack of spirit + soul made the world in front of Su Xiao appear with double images.
He wasn't afraid of soul attacks, but he still found it difficult to exempt from mental attacks. If it weren't for his mental strength as an Alchemist being sufficient, he would have been shaken to bleed from seven orifices by now.
"Blood Smoke Cannon."
Bang!
After a Blood Smoke Cannon, the Sin Aggregate opposite shattered, but the next instant, its shattered body was pulled back by a kind of black thread, healing into its original appearance.
Seeing this, a bottle of 【Honor Resurrection Potion】 slid out from his sleeve. He could naturally win this battle. Under the condition of ability restraint, don't look at his heavy injuries, but the victory was always in his grasp. However, right now the Sin Aggregate entered the second stage. Su Xiao wanted to win, but he had to pay some price.
Su Xiao was just about to use the 【Honor Resurrection Potion】 when the Sin Aggregate opposite suddenly did something unimaginable.
The twisted monster-like Sin Aggregate suddenly froze there. An aged, withered arm protruded from the neck position of the Sin Aggregate and grabbed into its mud-like head.
This made the Sin Aggregate completely freeze. Su Xiao naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. After confirming in the shortest time that this wasn't a trap, he raided to the front of the Sin Aggregate.
The long blade clung with Sin Flame, slashing diagonally onto the body of the Sin Aggregate. With a whoosh, the Sin Flame slashed through the body of the Sin Aggregate, forming an arc-shaped fire slash in the rear, with embers flying.
After one slash, the long blade immediately pierced through the head of the Sin Aggregate from bottom to top.
With a thud, the Sin Aggregate knelt on the ground. Its body began to turn into black mud. A deep red eye appeared on the black mud. The hatred and anger in this eye were so intense that they seemed to overflow.
【The Sin Aggregate has entered the extinction stage, and some of its abilities have been activated.】
【Warning: You are about to be subjected to Soul Strangulation, this is a soul-type execution ability.】
【Soul strength judgment in progress...】
【Judgment passed, you have exempted from this soul execution.】
【Warning: You are about to be subjected to All-Living Gaze, this is a will-type execution ability.】
【Willpower judgment in progress...】
【Judgment passed, you have exempted from this will execution.】
【Warning: You are about to be subjected to Sin Judgment, this is a mind-type execution ability.】
【Your Sword Art Grandmaster ability has exempted from this judgment.】
【Prompt: You did not die under the Sin Aggregate's ability, the Sin Aggregate's "Live by Devouring Death, Lv. EX" ability failed to activate, and it will not be able to resurrect through your death.】
【The Sin Aggregate is about to dissipate.】
【You have passed the Sin Trial.】
【Your soul strength increased by 0 points (Hunter's soul strength is too high, cannot increase through this trial).】
【Your willpower attribute +5 points.】
【Your mental strength +12 points.】
With the end of the prompt, the black smoke that had been drifting on Su Xiao's body surface dissipated. It could be said that after inflicting lethal damage to the Sin Aggregate, the battle with the Sin Aggregate actually just began. This was a triple battle of soul, mind, and will. It was just an instant, but it was exceptionally dangerous.
The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan nailed to the black mud was rising with Sin Fire, which made the black mud decrease rapidly. Finally, only a part remained, forming a human-like upper body. This human figure only had a small half of the torso and left arm, as well as the head, and the whole thing turned from black to withered gray.
Su Xiao pulled out the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan on the ground and came to this gray human figure, finding that this person's appearance was 90% similar to the Ghost Old Man.
The Ghost Old Man, who only had a small half of his upper body left, struggled to open his eyes. In his turbid eyes, there was a different look.
"Law-Exterminator, it wasn't in vain that I helped you, you won."
The Ghost Old Man made a laugh with insufficient breath. The arm that protruded from the neck position of the Sin Aggregate just now was indeed his.
In fact, the Ghost Old Man was also a big figure. In the God era, he was called the Wanderer, a person with real strength but sometimes good and sometimes bad, until later, this world welcomed the invasion of silence.
Later, the God Church was unable to fight against the silence and made up its mind that no matter what, it couldn't let the silence continue to spread. Even if it welcomed the end, it couldn't let this super-transcendent world that had once bathed in the glory of gods be completely invaded by silence.
The powerhouses of that era had all experienced the invasion of the abyss, and few of them were afraid of death, so they decided to perform a self-low-dimensional strike on this world and abandon transcendence, letting the Tree of the Void notarize this place, and through rule-based suppression, curb the spread of silence. This was also the only way they could think of.
But this resolution was opposed by the Steel Maker. He was in his peak period and was unwilling to take this inferior strategy.
Precisely because of this, the God Church united with the Ghost Old Man to calculate against the Steel Maker, sealing him in the Ancient Laboratory.
Although the Steel Maker was calculated against, before he was sealed, he shattered the Ghost Old Man's body, letting him only exist in the world as a soul body. Over time, the Ghost Old Man was assimilated by the Sin Aggregate.
"Law-Exterminator, is it okay outside the Silent City?"
The Ghost Old Man spoke. His remnant body had begun to gradually turn into ashes and dissipate.
"It's okay."
Hearing this, the Ghost Old Man laughed dryly. He said in an increasingly low voice:
"Is that so? It seems our choice back then was not wrong. I'm relieved. That's good."
After saying that, the Ghost Old Man completely turned into ashes and dissipated.
【Prompt: You have killed the Sin Aggregate.】
【You have obtained Source Stone.】
【You have obtained Original Sin Box (treasure chest item).】
Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao discovered one thing: the Source Stones of other powerhouses were carried on their bodies or inlaid on weapons, but the Sin Aggregate was different. It simply used the power of the Source Stone to treat the Source Stone as half a core.
Killing the Sin Aggregate didn't obtain World Source. The reason for this should be that the Sin Aggregate was a special individual.
With the demise of the Sin Aggregate, the black fog door behind dissipated, and the tall metal door ahead slowly rose.
"Boss, it seems very dangerous."
Baja flew in and began to patrol whether there were other dangers in this place.
Su Xiao let Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja check this place. After drinking a bottle of recovery potion, he came to the metal door ahead.
The scene outside came into view. The scene was gray and dark. Gray flocculent objects fell from above, like gray snowflakes symbolizing death falling. The ground was soft dust, making the terrain crisscrossed with gullies.
Through the constantly falling gray flocculent objects, Su Xiao saw a towering building in the distance. That was the Supreme Sanctuary.
Just fought a battle with the Sin Aggregate, going to the Supreme Sanctuary now was no different from sending himself to death. This kind of thing must be done with "good teammates."
"Boss, this way."
Baja's shouting came. Su Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and found that on the side wall, a secret door had opened.
Walking into the secret door, this was a side hall of about a few hundred square meters. A row of wooden shelves was placed against the wall, on which were various accessories and weapons, as well as some peculiar objects, such as a piece of tattered cloth, a withered eyeball, etc.
These were the proof objects of the chosen ones of all generations, all collected here by the Sin Aggregate. No wonder he couldn't find a single proof object in the inner city area before.
Collecting all the proof objects, Su Xiao was just about to leave when he found that the wall on the inside of the side hall was slightly abnormal. This wall surface of a few square meters was twisting in an irregular way.
Su Xiao picked a piece of gravel from the wall beside his hand and threw it toward the twisting wall. The stone block disappeared as if it had entered water, and it also caused layers of ripples on the wall.
A few seconds later, the stone block flew out from inside the wall and landed at Su Xiao's feet with a plop. Seeing this, Baja beside him picked up the stone block and threw it in again. This time, after only two seconds, the stone block was thrown out.
Seeing this, Baja threw the stone block into it again. There was no movement inside the wall, but after more than ten seconds, first the stone block flew out, and then broken table legs, broken teacups, etc., were thrown out one after another.
"Aha?"
Baja was a bit confused. It felt that there seemed to be intelligent creatures inside the wall, and those intelligent creatures had a bit of a temper, but they weren't of the evil camp, otherwise, what was thrown out wouldn't be broken table legs, broken teacups, etc.
Su Xiao's hand reached toward the wall. He didn't touch a solid object; his hand was like reaching into a liquid with no temperature difference. He walked into it entirely.
The light in front of him was a bit brighter, and warm yellow light shone from above. Su Xiao looked around and discovered one thing: he was no longer in the Dark World; he had actually left the world where the Silent City was located.
Su Xiao was in a corridor. This corridor was about a dozen meters wide, and the walls were covered with complicated, ancient patterns. Creatures suspected to be little elves were floating ahead.
These little elves that could fly were all looking at Su Xiao angrily. One of the little elves even had a bump on its forehead, as if it had been hit by a stone block.
"Stranger, welcome to the Soul Library."
An old and gentle voice came. Su Xiao looked in the direction of the sound. At the end of the corridor more than a dozen meters away, an octopus-headed old man was sitting behind a wooden table, on which were books, pen holders, etc.
The octopus-headed old man's head was translucent and ghostly blue. It wore a large robe, and behind it were two giant doors that opened to both sides.
"Show your credentials."
The octopus-headed old man, that is, the administrator of the Soul Library, spoke. Although its attitude was gentle, it didn't mean this was an existence that was easy to provoke.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He had some knowledge of the Soul Library. The origins of the three items he had came from the Soul Library.
"No credentials? Very sorry, I can't let you enter the library. Go back, see you again if fate allows, young Law-Exterminator."
The ancient book in the administrator's hand closed. The next instant, Su Xiao felt the administrator ahead and the scene around the other party retreating. No, it was the space he was in that was retreating.
After a flash of the scene in front of him, Su Xiao returned to the side hall of the Atonement Hall. He raised his hand to touch the wall ahead and found that this wall had become hard and could no longer lead to the Soul Library.
Su Xiao could confirm that when he arrived at the entrance corridor of the Soul Library just now, he had detached from this world, and the credentials required by the Soul Library, he naturally didn't have.
The Soul Library gave Su Xiao the feeling that it was like a small world, existing independently, not contending with the world, but collecting knowledge of thousands of worlds. If possible, he must obtain the credentials to enter the Soul Library.
Before obtaining the knowledge of the Steel Apostle, Su Xiao had some understanding of the Soul Library. The reason why the pharmacists of this world could have high attainments was that a small part of them had the qualifications to enter the Soul Library.
In this way, there was a not-low probability that there were still credentials left in the Silent City that could enter the Soul Library.
"Wonderful."
Su Xiao turned and walked to a stone platform. On this stone platform was a small sculpture of the God of Immortality. This was a teleportation device. He had known before that the Atonement Hall had a teleportation device.
Adjusting the teleportation device to connect to the cathedral, Su Xiao activated it. When the space movement ended, he arrived in the small room inside the cathedral.
After pushing the door out, Su Xiao found that Wood and Caesar had returned. Among them, Wood was holding a metal helmet. This metal helmet was more than half rusted. Although it was a proof object of a chosen one, it was now useless.
"I found the proof objects."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Wood asked: "How many?"
"A pile."
"Cough~"
Wood coughed dryly and nodded.
"My... ah no, Bai Ye, the Saintess Badge you sold me can't be used at all."
Gulu walked over angrily, but stopped two meters away. She thought for a while and even retreated half a step, maintaining a position where Su Xiao couldn't catch her if he raised his hand directly.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Seeing this, Gulu was even more angry. She said: "The proof exchanged with the Saintess Badge is of no use at all. That old guy doesn't even pay attention to me, let alone let me enter the Ancient Laboratory."
"Oh."
"You still oh, the Saintess Badge clearly could exchange for the Source of Darkness before."
"If it could be exchanged, would I sell it to you for 200 Soul Coins?"
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Gulu didn't speak, but began to think about how to sell the Ancient Laboratory Pass exchanged for by the Saintess Badge to Saint Poetry.
Su Xiao looked at Caesar sitting on the steps. Noticing his gaze, Caesar looked around with thief-like eyes, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Su Xiao searched the Silent City and definitely couldn't find a second scoundrel who didn't use the badge to exchange for the Source of Darkness. Previously, he thought that the way the camp shop here used badges as currency was something Caesar couldn't operate. Now it seemed he had underestimated Caesar.
Caesar quietly gave a wink, meaning that there would be cooperation in this regard with Su Xiao later, and this matter couldn't be publicized yet.
Su Xiao had always wanted to know what method the Healing Church used to produce the Source of Darkness. Now it seemed that Caesar seemed to have figured out the key to it.
Thinking of the Black Maple Tree in the Silent City, the production of the Source of Darkness might be the key to the production of the Black Maple Tree.
Just at this time, the stone door of the forging room a few dozen meters away rose, and a heat wave diffused. The Demon Blacksmith walked out from inside.
"Kid, I'm thirsty, get something to drink."
While the Demon Blacksmith was speaking, he placed a scabbard and a blood-red crystal feather 30 centimeters long on the forging table.
Su Xiao took out a bottle of rum and handed it to the Demon Blacksmith. The Demon Blacksmith took it, pulled out the cork, and drank nearly half the bottle in one breath. He tasted it with a bit of suspicion, looked at the wine in his hand again, and said:
"Good wine."
The wine praised by the Demon Blacksmith was naturally good wine. This wine was called 【Forgotten Brew】, had no bonuses, and was only rated as a rare wine, notarized as Saint Spirit-level.
Su Xiao picked up the scabbard and blood-red crystal feather on the forging table, and a prompt appeared.
【You have obtained Blood Feather (Overlord Equipment).】
【You have obtained Demon Sealing (Origin-level · Scabbard).】 ===== CHAPTER 3570 =====
