Chapter 3694
, Samsara Paradise
Inside the exotic space, the Soul Reaper, who had suffered the Goblin Jump, just stood up. This exotic space, about tens of thousands of square meters in size, closed off, giving him no chance to escape this place.
The Soul Reaper, over ten meters tall and draped in a large black robe, floated up, full of intimidation. Alas, he had taken a direct kick to his torso, was then weakened by the Priest's Ancient God-type ability, and was also poisoned by Witch-Poison Master Baze's strongest witch-poison.
As the Soul Reaper stood up, the broken exoskeleton at his chest scattered from within the large robe, clattering onto the ground. From the shattering of this large area of exoskeleton, one could see how hard that direct kick had been.
As for how the Soul Reaper felt after taking this kick, at that moment, he felt as if his body had been hit by a planet, with no room to resist with strength.
With the Soul Reaper's rich experience of thousands of years, he naturally noticed the fluctuation of that technique-type ability. But what he didn't understand was what kind of maniac would develop a technique ability to be so singular and terrifying.
That's right, at high tiers, the more singular the ability's characteristics, the more terrifying it is. This is discarding the flashy and gorgeous, concentrating everything into one.
Not only did the Soul Reaper, as the person involved, feel this direct kick was unbelievable, but even the Priest and Witch-Poison Master Baze, as bystanders, were secretly shocked. For a moment, they even doubted whether the Soul Reaper would be killed instantly by this kick.
Facts proved that the Soul Reaper, as a god who had existed for thousands of years, could still withstand this direct kick, but the damage was relatively severe.
Inside the exotic space, Su Xiao walked toward the Soul Reaper step by step. As he lifted his feet to move forward, his somewhat numb right lower leg recovered. This kick had truly been delivered with a bit too much force. Fortunately, he had previously maxed out all six types, and the resulting powerful physique allowed this direct kick not to backfire on himself.
Seeing Su Xiao step forward, the Priest and Witch-Poison Master Baze both chose to watch from behind. It wasn't selling out their teammate, but the Priest provided a weakening ability; every second that passed would cause the Soul Reaper's various resistances to be reduced, while Witch-Poison Master Baze was responsible for maintaining the witch-poison effect, causing continuous true damage to the Soul Reaper with witch-poison.
When he was still tens of meters away from the Soul Reaper, Su Xiao drew the long blade at his waist and almost simultaneously released the Blade Demon Spirit. The Demon Spirit, composed of black-blue smoke, was exactly the same size as Su Xiao and held a crystal long blade.
With a boom, the Demon Spirit swept out an air blast and charged toward the Soul Reaper, arriving in front of the Soul Reaper in an instant.
The Soul Reaper raised his hand, which looked like it was only bone, and with his ten-meter-tall size advantage, pressed down from thin air. A soul stance spread out, like a gravity field, crashing down and crushing the Demon Spirit.
"Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost."
Whoosh!
A Green Ghost, ten meters in size, slashed out fiercely, sweeping up a wind pressure, narrowly missing the Soul Reaper. The Soul Reaper, dodging sideways, had his large robe rustling from the wind pressure.
With a slap, the giant Green Ghost behind the Soul Reaper shattered on its own, turning into dozens of small Green Ghost slash beams. As if they could track, they drew arcs, leaving elegant blue-green slash marks in mid-air, and slashed toward the Soul Reaper's back.
Noticing this situation, the Soul Reaper was very puzzled. The reason was, why would he be tracked without being marked by an ability? And it was tracked by a sword technique ability. This was very unreasonable.
Because this attack was too sudden and unreasonable, the Soul Reaper, without any precautions, only blocked most of the Green Ghosts with his Soul Floating Shield, while the rest slashed onto his back.
As for why the Green Ghost could track the Soul Reaper, the Green Ghost certainly couldn't track enemies, especially since Su Xiao didn't have a marking ability. But the Green Ghost could track the Blade Demon Spirit that condensed marks with the same source energy. More accurately, Su Xiao controlled the Blade Demon Spirit to retract the Green Ghost blade chain after it was slashed out. The Green Ghost blade chain, while being retracted, just happened to hit the Soul Reaper.
The Green Ghost's frontal slashing power was often embarrassing, so he changed his strategy. He slashed out what looked like a giant blade beam, but was actually a slash composed of a blade chain, deliberately letting the enemy dodge it, and then using the Demon Spirit's size to retract the blade chain, letting the blade chain be retracted at a faster speed and with stronger cutting power than when it was slashed out, thereby hitting the enemy on the retraction path.
Since the Green Ghost was often shown up by enemies, he simply let the enemy show off during the first stage of the Green Ghost's attack. The second stage of the retracted blade chain was the fatal killing move.
The small blade chain Green Ghost indeed had stronger penetrating power. Several half-meter-wide Green Ghosts actually slashed through the Soul Reaper's body, gathered into a blade chain, were retracted by the Demon Spirit, and finally shattered due to the loss of energy maintenance.
The current Green Ghost was only in its initial form. The blade chain when retracted was composed of 50 small Green Ghosts. If it continued to be developed, presumably a blade chain composed of hundreds of small Green Ghosts could appear, then be retracted by the Demon Spirit, thereby penetrating the enemy. If the situation allowed, the Demon Spirit could also swing the retracted blade chain out again, causing a third stage of attack on the enemy.
With a buzz, a ten-meter-long soul greatsword formed in the Soul Reaper's hand and slashed across with unstoppable momentum. This was an undefendable strike, ignoring physical defense and directly damaging the soul.
With a slash, the soul greatsword slashed through the Demon Spirit, cutting it into two, and then slashed at Su Xiao. However, at this moment, Su Xiao had already penetrated space through Dragon Shadow Flash, successfully avoiding this strike.
The Soul Reaper who slashed this killing move felt a sense of depression in his heart. Su Xiao being able to dodge this strike was acceptable to him. The problem was that the black-blue smoke shadow actually ignored this soul slash.
Under Su Xiao's control, the Demon Spirit rushed straight toward the Soul Reaper. Just when the Demon Spirit was a few meters away from the Soul Reaper, a soul shield wall appeared in front.
Click, click, click~
The crystal long blade in the Demon Spirit's hand turned into a crystal warhammer and smashed onto the soul shield wall. Accompanied by the explosion of the crystal warhammer, a breach was smashed into the soul shield wall.
Almost simultaneously.
"Blood Smoke Cannon."
A Blood Smoke Cannon just happened to pass through the breach in the soul shield wall and hit the Soul Reaper's face. Amidst the splashing of broken exoskeleton, the Soul Reaper staggered backward.
A blood-energy phantom appeared behind Su Xiao. As the soul great bow was drawn, the Demon Spirit instantly turned into black smoke, constructing a black smoke arrow on the soul great bow.
Bang!
The three-meter-long black smoke arrow pierced through layers of space ripples and headed straight for the Soul Reaper's face. The Soul Reaper's skeletal hand, covered in soul crystals, blocked in front of his face. He prepared to counterattack Su Xiao after blocking this strike, thereby suppressing Su Xiao with the advantage of soul abilities.
The black smoke arrow's speed was extremely fast, arriving in front of the Soul Reaper's hand in an instant. But in the next instant, Su Xiao and the black smoke arrow swapped positions. Having already built up his slash, he appeared in front of the Soul Reaper's face.
"Blade Dao Blade · Extreme."
Clang!!
A bright slash cut through. It was already the peak of close-quarters slashing power, and now, after building up for 2 seconds, the slashing power was strong to the extreme.
Pfft~!
The Soul Reaper's hand was severed from the wrist. The Soul Reaper's five eyes were all staring at Su Xiao. The other remaining soul hand reached over, preparing to grab Su Xiao and use a killing move. But in the next instant, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Demon Spirit again.
The Demon Spirit in black smoke arrow state had only flown for 0.15 seconds and was about to hit the boundary wall of the exotic space when, due to swapping positions with Su Xiao, it suddenly appeared in front of the Soul Reaper.
Boom!!
The Soul Reaper was shot backward, staggering. He covered his face with one hand, and only two of his five eyes remained. Black-blue smoke drifted out from between his fingers. These black-blue smoke returned behind Su Xiao, reconstructing the Demon Spirit.
"ROAR!!"
The Soul Reaper let out a roar that shook the soul. But Su Xiao, as if he had foreseen it, manifested a blood-energy phantom. A Blood Smoke Cannon strengthened by double blood souls was fired, forcibly interrupting the Soul Reaper's soul-shaking roar with the suppression of power.
With a boom, the Soul Reaper was smashed by the Super Blood Smoke Cannon against the space boundary wall behind him. Without giving him even a 0.1-second breathing gap, the black smoke arrow shot over again.
This time, there was no need for the Soul Reaper to block. After the black smoke arrow flew in front of the Soul Reaper, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Demon Spirit in black smoke arrow form again, and with a side kick built up with power, kicked the Soul Reaper's face.
Boom!!
A side kick hit the Soul Reaper's head. Because the space boundary wall was behind his head, he crashed hard into the space boundary wall, and his body fell forward. However, at the same time, he used his last bit of strength to grab at Su Xiao with his soul hand. This grab carried a powerful suction force, unavoidable.
A black hole vortex appeared in the Soul Reaper's palm, which grabbed Su Xiao fiercely, and then he clenched his fist, and a terrifying explosion sound came from his hand.
With a boom! Everything fell into silence. But after the soul impact dissipated, wisps of black-blue smoke drifted from between the Soul Reaper's fingers. His ultimate killing move didn't grab Su Xiao at all. At the very last moment, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Demon Spirit. To be precise, in this battle, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Demon Spirit for the fourth time.
Every time he released the Demon Spirit, Su Xiao could only swap positions three to four times. Now, for the fourth swap, the Demon Spirit in black-blue smoke state returned to the Checking Zhan Long Shan on its own.
Su Xiao flicked the black blood off his blade and was just about to start a bitter battle and raid the Soul Reaper opposite him. But who knew, the Soul Reaper tens of meters away suddenly fell forward, and black blood spread along the tattered robe to the surroundings.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao became vigilant. The Demon Spirit ability had just entered the cooldown stage, and he hadn't started close-quarters combat yet, and this Soul Reaper had fallen? It must be a trap. He was already Ninth Tier, and he was still using this playing-dead strategy; it was truly unwise.
Su Xiao raised his left arm, and his left index finger pointed at the Soul Reaper. Blood energy compressed to the extreme gathered at his fingertip.
"Blood Smoke Cannon."
After the blood spear gathered at Su Xiao's fingertip was compressed to the limit, it turned into a blood-colored ray and struck, hitting the Soul Reaper's head with a boom. Amidst the blood smoke, broken exoskeleton and black blood splashed.
When the blood smoke dissipated, the Soul Reaper was still in a prone position. However, he looked like he was struggling to get up, but due to severe injuries, he failed several times. Instead, he sprayed blood from his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. The Soul Reaper was a Ninth-Tier god, after all. Even if he wasn't the top of the Ninth Tier, he shouldn't be this fragile. But if the other party was acting, then this acting was truly so realistic that it was admirable. The way he spat black blood, it seemed as if he would die in the next second; he acted just like the real thing.
Su Xiao raised his hand again, and another Blood Smoke Cannon blasted onto the Soul Reaper's head. The Soul Reaper still looked like he was dying.
"Brother Bai Ye, if you have a killing ability, solve it as soon as possible. I feel he shouldn't be able to hold on much longer."
Witch-Poison Master Baze spoke. Originally, he wanted to help, but as the battle continued, he found there was no such need at all.
"..."
Su Xiao stared at the Soul Reaper, always feeling that this famous one of the three supreme gods of the Dark God Sect shouldn't be this un-durable.
"Cough, I personally feel that he doesn't seem to be playing dead."
"..."
Su Xiao half-activated his Dragon Shadow Flash ability. After raiding to the front of the Soul Reaper, black-blue smoke diffused on the long blade, and the Demon Blade ability was activated. He slashed through the Soul Reaper's huge head, black-blue embers flew, and the kill was successful.
【Prompt: You have killed the Soul Reaper.】
【You have obtained the Origin-level Treasure Chest · Soul Reaper.】
【You have obtained 1.2% of the World Origin.】
Until he killed the Soul Reaper, Su Xiao still felt puzzled. Why was this Ninth-Tier god so un-durable? He had only used one direct kick + one side kick, plus 40-50% damage from the Green Ghost blade chain, plus one full-charge Blade Dao Blade · Extreme, plus two Blood Smoke Cannons, one double-strengthened Super Blood Smoke Cannon, and one Demon Spirit arrow hit to the head, and finally the 25% maximum health execution of the Demon Blade.
Su Xiao was still in the first stage and hadn't activated it, meaning he hadn't entered the second stage, yet he hammered the Soul Reaper to death. This was indeed something he hadn't expected.
Currently, Su Xiao's three stages have changed after he gained a few more Law-Breaker abilities. The changes are as follows:
First stage: Primarily based on Sword Technique Master and Close-Quarters Combat Master, supplemented by the flexibility of the Demon Spirit. The first stage has average defense, but the attack ability is quite strong.
Second stage: The Blade Demon Spirit is retracted, and Health drops to 25%, triggering the ability. This will increase Su Xiao's body defense by 599 points, causing his frontal combat strength to soar, entering a combat style centered on sword technique + close-quarters combat.
Third stage: Health drops to 20%, entering a dying state, triggering the close-quarters attack damage passive of the Blood Spear Master, bringing a powerful buff of 65% increase in close-quarters attack damage. In this state, Su Xiao not only has powerful defense, but his own attack intensity also reaches its peak, and he enters a combat state entirely centered on sword technique.
An interesting point is that in Su Xiao's ability system, his attack methods are stronger the more singular they are. When he was still using Demon Spirit and Blood Spear abilities, the enemy's experience was thrilling, but definitely not the worst. When Su Xiao only used basic slashes, that was the beginning of the enemy's nightmare.
As for why the Soul Reaper was so un-durable this time, to be precise, it wasn't that the Soul Reaper was un-durable, but that after Su Xiao obtained the Awakening Stele, his comprehensive combat strength had a qualitative leap.
The Shadow of Law-Breaker is a legacy system that gets stronger the later it goes. The problem is that, for various reasons, Su Xiao never had the opportunity to master new Law-Breaker abilities. This also led to him having to stack passives to ensure his combat strength didn't fall behind in the same tier.
From the first tier to the ninth tier, Su Xiao had persisted like this, and without obtaining it, he had already achieved an ability system that gets stronger the later it goes, after all, he had stacked many passive abilities.
After the last world progress ended, Su Xiao finally obtained it and began to master several core abilities of the Shadow of Law-Breaker one after another. These Law-Breaker passives, plus the passives he had been stacking all along, led to a qualitative improvement in his combat strength.
The Soul Reaper was certainly not weak. He belonged to the category of having a strong divine body and being strong at mid-range, and had extremely strong suppression power. If it were Su Xiao's previous ability system, just to engage in close-quarters combat with the Soul Reaper, he would have had to pay a significant price.
Now with the Demon Spirit, two raids by swapping positions with the Demon Spirit were both injury-free raids, and both caught the Soul Reaper off guard.
Perhaps the Soul Reaper didn't understand until he died why Su Xiao could still swap positions with the Blade Demon Spirit while interfering with space and distributing it within a hundred meters. Was this a space-type or energy-type ability? Regardless of which type of ability it was, it should have been interfered with under such a seal.
The real problem lies here: Su Xiao's position swap with the Blade Demon Spirit is neither; it is the purest position swap.
Of course, this is one of the three strongest abilities in the Shadow of Law-Breaker ability system. The first is, the second is, and as for the third, although Su Xiao has mastered it at the current stage, he hasn't awakened the full picture of this ability yet.
The Soul Reaper was simply hammered into confusion by this simple ability. All his soul-type suppression and knockback abilities were truly useless in the face of this position swap.
Just thinking about it, one knows how vivid the mask of pain on the face of a mid-range combat-oriented powerhouse would be after being approached without injury by a three-technique master.
And this injury-free approach was experienced by the Soul Reaper twice. Once he took a full-charge Blade Dao Blade · Extreme, and the second time his head took a full-charge side kick, after which he fell forward. He really wasn't acting dead; he was really going to die. Don't forget, he was experiencing these two painful hits under the Priest's weakening ability and Witch-Poison Master Baze's witch-poison.
After experiencing a fierce battle, the exotic space became increasingly unstable. Seeing this, Su Xiao walked out of the exotic space and returned to the Rock Temple.
As Baha closed the exotic space passage, that exotic space began to collapse. There are thousands of such exotic spaces in every world, and they generate themselves over time.
Everyone in the temple looked at the Soul Reaper's divine body. Su Xiao took out the extraction device and activated it. Soul Source, dense enough to form a liquid, was extracted. A total of over 2,000 ounces of liquid were collected before the extraction device shut down on its own.
Su Xiao certainly wouldn't absorb these directly, but would wait until he returned to the Samsara Paradise, pay the cost of Space-Time Power, and then, relying on his own Hunter authority, filter and purify them through the facilities of the Samsara Paradise. Only when the Samsara Paradise notarized them as completely pure would Su Xiao concentrate them and formulate them into a potion to drink, thereby exerting the maximum effect.
The Priest took out a ritual cup. This ritual cup looked like it was made of gold, but it had an indescribable sense of holiness, like a Holy Grail. But for some reason, this golden Holy Grail's sense of holiness made one's heart feel cold.
A suction force erupted from the golden Holy Grail, and the Soul Reaper's divine source blood was all extracted and submerged into the golden Holy Grail, causing the fresh red divine blood in the golden Holy Grail to overflow. The Priest began to drink the divine blood in the golden Holy Grail. This scene, for some reason, made people unable to suppress the fear in their hearts.
Finally, Witch-Poison Master Baze came to the Soul Reaper's divine body. The sides of his cheeks split open, allowing his mouth to split to the roots of his ears. After he opened his mouth, his gray hair grew wildly. As his sharp fingers grabbed onto the Soul Reaper's divine body, the divine body seemed to soften and was stuffed into his mouth in large chunks by Witch-Poison Master Baze.
After Xian Lulu saw this scene, she slowly hid behind Su Xiao's legs, not daring to breathe. She was very scared in her heart.
Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred. A black vortex appeared in front. After this vortex erupted with a brief darkness, it turned into an oval mirror image.
The mirror image was dim. As the surrounding fluctuations stabilized, the scene inside the oval mirror image became clear. It was a dim divine realm with three towering divine thrones. One was empty, and on the other two were the Desire God and the Snake God, two of the three supreme gods of the Dark God Sect.
The reason for the formation of this space mirror image was very simple. The Desire God and the Snake God sensed that the Death God had been killed. As three supreme gods of the Dark God Sect, they were all in the same boat and naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Another point was that now that the Soul Reaper had been killed, his Soul Source, divine blood, and the wealth he had accumulated were all very tempting.
Furthermore, the Soul Reaper had just died, and the person who killed him was likely in a severely injured or even dying state. The Desire God and the Snake God were prepared to reap the benefits of the fisherman and also prepared to make the person who dared to kill the supreme god of the Dark God Sect pay the price, which could be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
At this moment, in the divine realm, the Desire God and the Snake God, sitting on their divine thrones, were observing the situation in the Rock Temple through the space mirror image. The situation of the winner being severely injured or dying after a bitter battle, which they had anticipated, did not appear. What they saw was:
A Law-Breaker covered in blood energy, with a blood beast phantom lurking behind him, holding a Soul Source container in his hand, and beside him, the Priest with a kind smile, holding a Holy Grail stained with divine blood.
And the Tribal High Priest, with his face full of primitive graffiti, head tilted back, mouth open, mouth split to the roots of his ears on both sides, releasing a divine eyeball the size of a fist from his hand, and swallowing it with a gulp.
Beside the Tribal High Priest was a little old man carrying a large cloth bag with a wretched smile on his face. Inside that large cloth bag was the entire fortune of the Soul Reaper that had been stored in his space items.
All that remained on the ground was a divine skull nearly two meters high, with five eye sockets and covered in cracks.
After the Desire God and the Snake God in the space mirror image witnessed all this, even as gods of the evil faction, they couldn't help but gasp in their hearts. The four enemies they encountered this time seemed very difficult to provoke: soul-stealing, blood-drinking, flesh-eating, and wealth-stealing.
An even more heart-stopping scene appeared for the Desire God and the Snake God, because the gazes of Su Xiao, the Priest, Witch-Poison Master Baze, and Caesar toward them were very wrong. Those four gazes seemed to contain:
A new wild treasure chest.
A new source of divine blood.
New divine flesh.
A new mobile money bag.
With a whoosh, the Desire God and the Snake God on the opposite side closed the space mirror image. Judging from the speed at which the space mirror image disappeared, the two gods on the opposite side seemed somewhat hurried. It goes without saying that the mentality of those two gods of the Dark God Sect had undergone a huge change; to be precise, their mentality had cracked a bit.
