Chapter 3690

Eternal Ring City, Fifth City District, inside a mansion on South Street. The morning sun shone into the room. The various furniture in the living room had been cleared away, becoming empty. The ground was covered with spatial formation diagrams. Because it had been used once, the high temperature after the formation diagram was activated had burned through the carpet and deeply embedded into the ground.

Su Xiao sat on a lonely chair in the living room, staring at the formation diagram on the ground. It had been developed, but the problem was that no one dared to use it for the time being. Even Su Xiao himself had reservations about this formation diagram. Although this was a 'launch-type teleportation' like a spatial railgun, the problem was that the power of this 'launch' was always difficult to determine.

Su Xiao had previously teleported a crystal statue to the backyard of the Dusk Winter City Lord's Manor while dealing with the ambush, but half an hour ago, Su Xiao contacted Bubu Wang and Baha, who remained at the manor, and asked them to go to the teleportation array in the backyard warehouse to see if the crystal statue was intact.

The reply was: what crystal statue? They didn't even see a scrap, and the teleportation array in the backyard warehouse looked like it had been hit by a punch from the heavens, beaten into a dented, terrifying shape. Last night, everyone in the manor only heard a loud bang, but they couldn't find the source of the sound. This morning, the case was finally solved.

Su Xiao's original idea was to attach a crystal layer to his whole body and then try to experience it, but after seeing the photo of the backyard teleportation array sent by Baha, he gradually abandoned this idea.

He could be sure of one thing: as long as he used it once and ensured he didn't die, his spatial resistance would definitely increase greatly, so the next time he used it, it wouldn't be dangerous. Although the experience would also be terrible, after using it a few more times, he would slowly adapt until he was completely used to it, just like using the Demon Teleportation Array now.

This made Su Xiao think about whether he could use protective gear to resist the impact brought by teleportation during the first few times he used this teleportation array. Aoge's defense against this was poor, likely because of the head-on collision, which led to a sharp decrease in defense.

If he used a soft collision, perhaps it would be much better? For example, by cultivating a type of cyst with excellent toughness through the Zerg Hive, and wrapping himself with this cyst before teleportation, he could significantly reduce the risk of teleportation.

It seemed like it took a lot of effort to complete the teleportation, but don't forget, this was also a type of training, a training that could improve spatial resistance. When encountering spatial powerhouses, high spatial resistance was an absolute advantage, at least he wouldn't be directly teleported to a dangerous area by the other party.

That's right, high-tier spatial powerhouses were just that shameless. As long as they were given 2–3 seconds of charging time, they could teleport the enemy away over a long distance.

Su Xiao took out the communicator and contacted the Priest. After learning that the other party was also in Eternal Ring City and was preparing to complete the transaction of the 【Temple Key】 with Cain, Aiger, and Lilia, he decided to meet them.

Upon learning this news, Su Xiao went out and took a public bus to the city district where the Priest and the others were. When he arrived at a villa area, he saw the Priest in black attire. The other party was still as kind and amiable as ever. If you only looked at his appearance, he was just a kind old priest with gray hair.

"They are already waiting inside, let's go."

The Priest spoke with a smile, not a fake smile, but truly in a good mood because of meeting an old friend. This friendship was indeed real, but for the Priest, calculating against an old friend did not cause any psychological burden.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He arrived in front of a mansion with the Priest. Before entering the door, he could sense two very vigilant auras inside; they were Cain and Aiger.

The door was opened by a woman dressed as a witch with a lazy temperament. It was Witch Lilia. Lilia, who was holding a slender pipe in one hand, exhaled purple mist from her mouth. After looking at Su Xiao with a complex gaze, she said: "Two gentlemen, please come in."

A moment later, the five of them were seated on the sofa in the living room. Cain, who was opposite, broke the silence and said: "Two gentlemen, the Temple Key is indeed what we need, but this is only one part of the world mission, not the final required item."

Cain's meaning was very clear: the 【Temple Key】 was indeed a mission item, but not the item required for the most important part of the mission. Therefore, if the price was too high, it was not impossible for the three of them to give up this world mission. After all, they had only executed it to the second part, and the cost of giving up was not as high as imagined.

"Rest assured, we won't ask for an exorbitant price. Let's just say 2 million soul coins, 1 million each for me and Bai Ye."

The Priest's words caused the faces of the two people opposite to sink. Witch Lilia's expression remained unchanged, always looking at Su Xiao with a smile in her eyes.

"Old thing, you are really black-hearted."

Cain said this with a full face of smiles. The Priest still had a kind gaze and took out the 【Temple Key】, placing it on the table.

"We don't have 2 million soul coins, but we have a supreme treasure. I wonder if the two of you are interested? Let's barter."

While Aiger was speaking, he took out a sealed box. After opening it with a solemn expression, he poured the contents out of the sealed box onto the coffee table. This was a black ring one size larger than a finger ring. As soon as this object touched the coffee table, the entire coffee table was stained pitch black. Black mist like backflow incense diffused on the teapot and even settled downwards along the surrounding edges.

This black metal ring was covered with fine runes. The inside of the ring seemed empty, but it made people feel as if it were endless darkness. Yet, in the center of this darkness, there was a kind of extremely pure life force. It went without saying that this object could significantly increase health.

【Endless Ring】

Origin: Abyss.

Quality: Abyss-tier.

Type: Buff-type equipment.

Equipment Effect 1: Robust Life. While carrying this equipment, Health +200 points.

Hint: This bonus will not disappear immediately after losing this equipment, but will gradually lose this health bonus within the subsequent 24 hours.

Equipment Effect 2: Rapid Devour. Can permanently increase the rating of this equipment by devouring high-value items such as equipment, props, and gems.

Equipment Effect 3: Slow Absorption. Can slowly devour equipment or special artifacts, and before completely devouring this equipment, will temporarily obtain its characteristics, and enhance the temporarily obtained ability according to the existing rating.

Equipment Debuff: Darkness Drowning. While carrying this equipment, you will gradually be invaded by the darkness of the Abyss.

Rating: 10 points.

Introduction: Darkness is always quiet; quietness derives sedimentation; sedimentation brings decay; decay transforms into nutrients; nutrients nourish life. In the very center of darkness, the purest and most robust life essence is conceived.

Sale Price: Cannot be sold after activation.

The characteristics of this equipment were very interesting. There was no doubt that its background was very large, and calling it a supreme treasure was not bragging. However, the Abyss origin immediately made people feel a bit guilty.

"This object..."

Aiger spoke. Just as he was about to praise the advantages of this object, Su Xiao picked up the 【Endless Ring】 on the coffee table. This caused Aiger's words to come to an abrupt end, and even Lilia, who had been looking at Su Xiao with a smile in her eyes, restrained her smile, her gaze becoming exceptionally solemn and serious.

Su Xiao pinched the 【Endless Ring】 with his thumb and middle finger and tapped it with his index finger. He praised calmly: "This object is not bad."

"Uh~, haha, it... it is not bad."

Aiger's expression was a bit dazed. With his combat strength in the top tier of the Ninth Tier, he couldn't understand at all why Su Xiao dared to pick up this thing with his bare hands and still calmly evaluate it as not bad.

"Bai Ye, you... don't feel anything wrong?"

Cain sat falsely, looking like he was ready to jump back at any time and stay away from Su Xiao.

"Very wrong, I have been severely eroded by this object."

Su Xiao placed the 【Endless Ring】 on the coffee table. Saying that he felt nothing when picking up this thing was nonsense, but it was just that his fingertips were a bit numb. Compared to holding the 【Soul Crown】 with his bare hands, this feeling was nothing at all, a small witch meeting a big witch.

"Severely eroded..."

Cain, Aiger, and Lilia were all speechless. This 'severely eroded' was truly too perfunctory.

"As everyone knows, items from the Abyss origin have extreme duality. This object looks good, but the side effects are astonishing."

The Priest stopped here and said: "Look at Bai Ye, he's so eroded by darkness that he doesn't even speak."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Cain, Aiger, and Lilia were even more speechless. Originally, the plan of the three of them today was to first take out the 【Endless Ring】 and use the Abyss invasion as a deterrent, and then Cain would take out an Abyss-characteristic item as a negotiation guarantee, so as to avoid them, whose abilities were restrained, from evolving from verbal negotiation to physical negotiation.

However, the plan was very beautiful, but when it was truly to be implemented, the three of them witnessed Su Xiao picking up the 【Endless Ring】 with his bare hands and praising it as not bad.

From the current situation, it could be seen that Cain, Aiger, and Lilia had all tried to touch the 【Endless Ring】, and the result was self-evident. As for carrying this object for a long time and getting the bonus of this object, that was simply courting death.

This also led to the fact that the 【Endless Ring】 had the theoretical value of a supreme treasure, but in reality, few people could use it.

"My seventy percent, this thing will cover it. Priest, for your thirty percent, name your own price."

Su Xiao finished speaking and looked at the three people opposite. After obtaining the unanimous consent of the three, he put away the 【Endless Ring】. If developed well, this object could bring a high health bonus, and even the bonus strength would be above the 【God's Judgment】 ring.

The way to improve the 【Endless Ring】 was simple and crude. Any valuable equipment, props, gems, etc., could be devoured by it. Of course, Abyss-characteristic items were its favorite. If it were allowed to devour the 【Seed of Original Sin】, perhaps it could significantly increase its rating?

The good news was that this object was clearly not of the Original Sin type, but a type of Abyss-characteristic equipment with strong buffs and strong debuffs.

As long as the rating of the 【Endless Ring】 was improved, it could get a health bonus of 20 points per rating point. Besides this characteristic, the effect of the 【Endless Ring】 was also very interesting.

Simply put, it allowed the 【Endless Ring】 to devour a piece of equipment at a slow speed. This process could be a few days, a dozen days, or even longer. During this period, although the devoured equipment would gradually disappear, the 【Endless Ring】 would temporarily seize its characteristics and enhance this seized ability according to the current rating.

Equipment like 【Heart of Berg】 and 【God's Judgment】 ring could not be used this way. Although they could bring high buffs for a period of time, they would also consume such precious equipment. Conversely, detection equipment like 【Eye of the Gods】 that could no longer keep up with the tier could be used this way.

Of course, all this had to be based on the situation where the rating of the 【Endless Ring】 had already been improved. Fortunately, for Su Xiao, this was not difficult.

After Cain, Aiger, and the Priest had a private talk for a while, the transaction was finally completed under Aiger's increasingly gloomy expression. The Priest placed the 【Temple Key】 on the coffee table.

Su Xiao looked at Witch Lilia opposite. For some reason, this person had been looking at him with a smile in her eyes from the beginning to the end. This was not the point. The other party was a divination-type + causality-type. There was one thing he could entrust to the other party.

"Witch, there is a transaction, are you interested?"

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Lilia, who had a lazy temperament, took a light sip of her slender pipe and said with a smile: "Quite interested, tell me what it is."

"Peering into the past."

"A very distant past? This is the Wind Sea Continent. I might not be able to see things that are too distant."

Talking about business, Lilia no longer had a smile in her eyes, but her tone was still lazy and charming.

"It's just what happened last night."

"That's simple. Are there any powerhouses present?"

"Yes."

"What level?"

While speaking, Lilia tapped the slender pipe in her hand on the ashtray on the coffee table. Purple ash fell into it, and there was a faint purple shimmer drifting on the ash.

"Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe."

"If there is only one Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe, although it is a bit difficult, it is no problem. After all, it only happened last night, and the time is very close."

Hearing this, Su Xiao thought for a few seconds and said: "There should be more than one, three to five? It's hard to determine specifically."

"That's not easy to handle."

Witch Lilia smiled even more charmingly.

"Name your price."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Witch Lilia did not directly name her price, but said: "Fate is a very wonderful thing. Last time I fought you, you almost took my life."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, but he was very puzzled in his heart. Before today, had he met this witch named Lilia? In his impression, he had never had the memory of meeting this person. Could it be that he was affected by mental abilities? That shouldn't be either; he was a Blade Art Master and could ignore this aspect.

Seeing Su Xiao silent, Lilia said lazily: "As a reward for you sparing me once, I'll help you with a free divination this time."

"..."

Su Xiao still didn't speak. All along, he hadn't felt that there was any problem with his memory, except for occasionally not remembering Yuyu..., Yuyu An? Let's assume so. Except for occasionally forgetting Yuyu An, he remembered other things very clearly, not to mention the enemies he had fought.

"Actually, I have always been very puzzled. Why did you spare my life that time when you were called? I took the initiative to challenge you, so even if you killed me that time, I would have no complaints, but you spared my life."

"..."

Su Xiao was still silent. How would he know why he spared the other party's life? What he was more puzzled about at the moment was, how did that so-called fight happen?

"I killed too much during that time, and felt compassion."

Su Xiao found a reason to perfunctorily deal with it.

"Pfft~, sorry, I suddenly thought of something very funny. You continue."

Cain rubbed his face with one hand, almost unable to hold back his laughter.

"You, don't remember the fight we had when our factions were hostile?"

Witch Lilia was no longer lazy, but stared at Su Xiao with a serious face.

"My memory is very average."

"But that was only two months ago."

After Witch Lilia said this, she couldn't quite maintain her lazy, elegant witch image, and her gaze was a bit doubtful of life.

"..."

Su Xiao had no impression of this matter at all. Even if he had a little bit of relevant memory, he could act it out. The problem was, at the moment, let alone subtitles or scripts, he hadn't even seen the footage of this show even once. No matter what kind of acting skills he had, he couldn't act it out, not to mention the witch opposite was a divination-type + causality-type.

"That time I challenged you, trying to peer into your causality, I almost died. Do you have no reaction to this?"

Hearing this, Su Xiao thought carefully, and the answer he got was: no reaction at all.

"From a sensory point of view, there is no specific feeling."

"Im, pos, sible."

Witch Lilia was a bit uneasy.

"Although this is a bit offensive, would you feel a speck of dust falling on you?"

Hearing this, Witch Lilia opposite froze there. After a few seconds, she said: "Wait a minute, let me slow down. That is to say, you haven't sensed the causality-types that have been troubling you all along? You haven't noticed that many causality-types have challenged you?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. For so long, including Lilia he met this time, the causality-types he had seen could be counted on one hand. As for fighting, he was very puzzled about how causality-types fought enemies.

"You don't know that you are very famous in our causality-type circle?"

Witch Lilia seemed to have discovered something incredible, and her gaze was burning.

"..."

"From the fourth to the eighth tier, the most powerful causality-types in each tier have all been educated by you. Do you really not feel the influence of causality-type abilities on you at all?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't answer this question. The reason was that causality-type abilities had no influence on him. How could he have any reaction? The Shadow of Law-Breaker was an element guardian. While causing bad luck, his own causality was exceptionally huge. It could be said that there were gains and losses.

Witch Lilia opposite was silent for a moment and decided not to mention this matter again. The reason was that she found it a bit hard to accept in her heart. During that challenge last time, she almost died from causality backlash.

At this moment, Witch Lilia finally knew why the notorious Law-Breaker opposite spared her life. The reason was that the other party didn't sense the so-called challenge at all. She was fighting with air.

Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of shame struck. Witch Lilia slowly exhaled. Cain and Aiger, the temporary teammates on the side, both stood up, making an excuse to go out for some air. But after the two closed the door, the happy laughter coming from outside the door made Lilia clench the slender pipe in her hand, secretly deciding to let these two guys have bad luck for two days.

The Priest also stood up and left. After the Priest left, Witch Lilia said with a serious face: "Bai Ye, you should be careful of this old guy."

Lilia was very curious about the causality of the Law-Breaker, why it was so powerful and unsolvable. She vaguely felt that as long as she peered into a corner of it, her development in the causality-type would have unimaginable achievements. But she wouldn't study this point, but start from another direction, a direction that could cooperate with the Law-Breaker in front of her, which was safer and the benefits were equally not small.

"I'm reaching my limit. My potential in the causality-type seems to only go this far."

"..."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, looking at Witch Lilia opposite.

"I am very curious about the causality of the Law-Breaker, but I won't be so arrogant as to feel that I can peer into the secrets within it. However, I found that Spellcasters seem to have similar characteristics, but compared to Law-Breakers, I can still peer into some Spellcasters who are similar to me in strength."

The secret shared by Witch Lilia was very valuable. It could be seen that she was prepared to show some sincerity first, so as to pave the way for subsequent cooperation in this regard. As for the content of the cooperation, it was naturally to study the luck and causality of Spellcasters.

"The causality and luck of Spellcasters and Law-Breakers have one thing in common, which is that they are very difficult to peer into. But the feeling Spellcasters give people is... scattered? Precisely because of this scattering, I can peer into the luck of Spellcasters of the same tier as me. And for the Law-Breaker faction, I estimate that you, this legendary last Shadow of Law-Breaker, should have all the causality of the entire Law-Breaker faction on you, so your causality volume is so huge that it makes causality-types despair."

Speaking to this point, Witch Lilia's meaning was already very clear. If she wanted to figure out what was going on with the Law-Breaker's luck, it was inevitable that she would be suspected of looking for Su Xiao's weaknesses. But studying the luck of Spellcasters could achieve more stable cooperation because they had a common opponent.

Su Xiao and the Arcane Eternal Star were mortal enemies, and fighting was naturally inevitable. During this period, obtaining the soul remnants of Spellcasters, or original soul blood, was a common occurrence.

Such things were of little use to Su Xiao, but for Witch Lilia, who wanted to peer into the mystery of Spellcaster causality, they were priceless treasures. Plus, as a Paradise faction member, she was not very afraid of the Arcane Eternal Star's retaliation. At most, she wouldn't go to the Void. The Arcane Eternal Star side couldn't possibly send people to hunt her down for this little thing.

Su Xiao stood a sealed glass tube on the table. Inside was the soul blood of a Spellcaster. Seeing this, Witch Lilia said:

"Just like I said just now, be careful of that old guy, the Priest. He is carrying something incredible."

"Original Sin item."

"You, you sensed it?!"

"Sensed the characteristics of that Original Sin item."

"?"

Witch Lilia's gaze was a bit confused. She didn't understand what kind of tiger-wolf words Su Xiao was saying. Sensing the characteristics of an Original Sin item was no longer outrageous. Under normal circumstances, this was courting death.

"Don't be so nervous. I have a few Original Sin items, so that Original Sin item won't come looking for me just because I sense it. I can vaguely sense that it is repelling me."

"??"

Witch Lilia's gaze was even more confused. She seemed to have just heard such terrifying words.

Witch Lilia was silent for a few seconds and said: "We are considered cooperators, right?"

"Yes."

"Then in the future, for the sake of my life safety, I won't divine your future. At least the future involving Original Sin items cannot be divined."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just took out a formation diagram fragment and let Witch Lilia use it to peer into what happened last night.

More accurately, among those who ambushed him last night, how many were there, and who were they? He was prepared to hunt one of the Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe Spellcasters among them.

Besides this, regarding the Priest side, he didn't know if he found an Original Sin item or was entangled by an Original Sin item. If it was the latter, then helping the other party transfer this Original Sin item to the Arcane Eternal Star seemed to be a good choice.
