Chapter 3711: Rare Title

Sea Clan main city, back street, in a cold and damp narrow alley.

A figure wearing the high priest robe of the Sea God Sect, with star-like bloodstains on his face, was leaning against the wall and panting heavily. Having been quite prestigious in the main city and relying on the prestige of the Sea God Sect to be arrogant and domineering, he was now like a stray dog. His face, full of oil and sweat, was twitching due to the anger in his heart. A pair of eyes tightly staring at the entrance of the alley showed how panicked and uneasy he was at this moment.

The Sea God Sect was defeated in a short period of time. Although it wouldn't perish, the middle and high levels were almost completely replaced, which also meant that the Sea King was now in full control of power.

The cooperation of Su Xiao, the Priest, and the Sea King seemed to have the Sea King bearing the highest risk with no direct benefits, but in fact, it was not so. In the long run, this time the Sea King benefited the most.

First of all, he cleaned up the Sea God Sect under a legitimate name. The current Sea God Sect only followed the Sea King's lead. The Council of Elders had already hugged the Sea King's thigh before, which meant that the Sea King was in full control of power.

It had to be said that the timing chosen by the Sea King was also very good. If the Beast King hadn't aged to the point he was today, there would definitely have been trouble in the whole thing, and it wouldn't have been like it was now—starting on a high note, then sharing benefits, and finally ending on a low note.

Overall, Su Xiao successfully rescued the Dwarf King, the Priest obtained 20.3% of the "Initial Mark" fragments, the Sea King successfully took full control of power, and the Dark God Sect took the blame for it.

At present, both the Beast Clan and the Sea Clan had established a Dark God Sect suppression department, because the Dark God Sect not only destroyed the Wolf God's seal but also united with the Sea God Sect to assassinate the Sea King.

That's right, the Sea King was very ruthless. Not only did he shift the blame for the assassination attempt on him to the Sea God Sect, but he also splashed dirty water, saying that the Sea God Sect colluded with the Dark God Sect to carry out this assassination.

If it were only the former, it would at most be considered the internal power struggle of the Sea Clan. In such matters, the Sea King would at most handle it on a low note and continue to endure the other party's disgust. But once the name of the Sea God Sect colluding with the Dark God Sect was confirmed, the Sea King could deal with the Sea God Sect as he pleased, because this clearly belonged to eating inside and out.

However, the high priest who was lingering on his last breath in the alley didn't intend to end it like this. His gaze gradually deepened, and he began to consider how to escape this place and how to make a comeback later.

But just at this moment, the high priest suddenly heard a muffled sound. He looked at the front diagonally above, where black flesh had already grown, and black tentacles as thick as little fingers poked out, twisting wantonly and eerily.

"Old... God!"

Great terror appeared on the high priest's face. Having once been a member of the power class of the Wind Sea Continent, he knew better than most people how terrifying high-level Old Gods were.

A skeleton covered in blood and flesh crawled out from the black flesh. This skeleton had a small amount of flesh and blood on it, and the organs in its body were still relatively complete, but its head was particularly creepy. Apart from the white bones and the brain, only two eyeballs remained in the eye sockets.

"Lost, lamb."

The skeleton tilted its head and looked at the high priest, which made the high priest's brain buzz. His vision became narrower and narrower, and finally, he fell into endless darkness.

The skeleton moved forward with difficulty, as if it would fall apart with every step it took. When it reached the front of the high priest, if one looked back, one would find that the entire way was dissolved flesh and blood scattered on the ground.

At this moment, the high priest's eyes had lost their luster, and saliva was flowing out unconsciously. The skeleton in front raised its hand. As its bone hand pressed onto the high priest's head, the high priest quickly withered and turned into a dried corpse in an instant.

After ingesting this life force, a lot of flesh and blood grew on the skeleton's body. Some places even had skin, and a smile gradually appeared on that face, which was old but not aged.

If one observed carefully, one would find that in the center of the organs inside his ribs, a golden holy cup was located here, and the flesh and blood tentacles poking out from various organs were all connected to this holy cup, with this as the center.

"Still thought I would receive the top-tier Original Sin item, but what came was the Candle Girl. Really ruthless, old friend."

The smile on the Priest's face was kind. As an "old friend," he naturally knew something about Su Xiao's style of doing things, so he concluded that after he led the World-Extinguishing existence, the Dark Eater, over to his side, the revenge from that side would arrive synchronously. Being anticipated and calculated by that side was something the Priest could accept. They were both "old friends," and naturally knew each other's difficulty.

The Priest's plan this time had two parts. One was to obtain enough "Initial Mark" fragments. His purpose for coming here was different from others. Others were summoned to come here, while he obtained the entry qualification only for the final reward of this mission.

As for why this was the case, it involved the Gray Gentleman. Although the Gray Gentleman was dead, he had once stored an item that could be called a supreme treasure for violators in a certain place.

The function of that thing was very simple: severance. More precisely, it was a top-tier authority of the Void Tree. The function of that authority was very simple: to sever the brand. After losing all the conveniences brought by the notarization, one could completely get rid of the identity of a violator and all the corresponding evil consequences.

The reason the Gray Gentleman didn't use this thing was very simple. Although a violator was a high-risk identity, it had the brand notarization of the Void Tree, which could be used to enter mission worlds and go to large gathering places, and could also use the attribute enhancement chambers notarized by the Void Tree. Apart from the different ways of receiving missions, there was no huge difference from a contractor.

The Priest plotted for this thing, and he didn't intend to use it immediately, but only when his strength reached a certain peak would he use it.

And one of the final rewards for the winner of the "Initial Mark" this time was the "ticket" to that treasure storage place. The Priest had been there before, but after the Tree-Born World, only by passing the "ticket" could one possibly go there.

This was also why the Priest risked his life to snatch the "Initial Mark." Of course, the Priest actually had another plan, or rather, this plan was used to compensate for the risk of plotting for the "Initial Mark" this time.

To obtain that 20% "Initial Mark," he would definitely face the World-Extinguishing existence, the Dark Eater. The Priest didn't want to face this opponent because the other party would eliminate him physically. Even if he were to be eliminated, the Priest hoped to face other methods.

The best way to avoid the Dark Eater was naturally to lead the Dark Eater to Su Xiao's side. In this way, the Priest would have a chance to steal the "Initial Mark."

But this was the Priest. Would his plan be so rough? Of course not. Based on the Priest's understanding of Su Xiao, this "old friend," he was certain that Su Xiao could judge the general situation of this matter, and the other party's revenge had always been that if it could be taken on the spot, it would never be left overnight.

The Priest estimated that he was eight or nine out of ten likely to receive an Original Sin item. Whether it was the "Book of Necromancy" or the "Nether Bone Ring," once he received such a top-tier Original Sin item while holding the "Golden Holy Cup," he would basically be finished.

So the Priest thought of a way. He poured most of his divine source blood into the "Golden Holy Cup," and plus the "Golden Holy Cup" was not a top-tier Original Sin item. Assuming the "Book of Necromancy," "Nether Bone Ring," and "Abyss Jar" were 100-point danger Original Sin items, then the "Golden Holy Cup" was between 70 and 80 points.

In fact, this was also why many strong people were stunned after seeing Su Xiao holding three Original Sin items. Holding three Original Sin items was already incredible enough, but the key was that there were two "big daddies" among the Original Sin items, the "Book of Necromancy" and the "Nether Bone Ring," and the remaining one was also very tricky, the "Soul Crown" with a danger rating of at least 99.5 points.

As for Original Sin items like the "Origin Demon Mirror" and "Golden Holy Cup," the danger rating was only 70 to 80 points. It was precisely because of this that Water Brother could use the "Origin Demon Mirror" to a certain extent.

More importantly, don't look at Su Xiao holding three Original Sin items; he had one essential difference from other Original Sin item holders, which was that he never directly used these Original Sin items. He had never flipped through the "Book of Necromancy," never put on the "Soul Crown," and never worn the "Nether Bone Ring."

It was this bottom-line awe and vigilance that allowed Su Xiao to maintain the current situation.

However, this also sideways illustrated Caesar's awesomeness. The other party could safely use the top-tier Original Sin item "Abyss Jar" with a danger rating of 100, and even gave people the feeling of being in cahoots.

This was actually not a natural talent, but focus. Until today, Caesar's personal combat power was also ridiculously weak. This guy, because of extreme fear of death and not wanting to die, had always been developing special survival abilities.

Caesar's ability to accumulate wealth was obvious to all, and where did the resources he got go? The answer was, all used to develop special survival abilities.

This led to the fact that when Caesar first encountered the "Abyss Jar," the compatibility was directly full. One would passively kill the holder and had changed countless holders; one had invincible special survival abilities. The two hit it off, colluded, and were in cahoots.

The Priest's plan was that he didn't expect to be able to perfectly fit with the Original Sin item like Caesar. What he wanted to achieve was coexistence. Don't think that an Original Sin item with a danger rating of 70-plus was not fatal. The "Golden Holy Cup" belonged to a blunt knife cutting meat, slowly consuming the holder to death.

Precisely because of this, the Priest gambled once. After he poured a large amount of his divine blood into the "Golden Holy Cup," he embedded this Original Sin item into his body, connecting his organs and even his soul to it.

The Priest's purpose was only one, which was to drag the "Golden Holy Cup" to perish together in the few seconds before he perished. Even if he couldn't completely destroy this Original Sin item, he would make it suffer heavy damage. Either coexist or perish together.

And for this external threat, the Priest thought of top-tier Original Sin items. Whether it was the "Book of Necromancy" or the "Nether Bone Ring," they all had this qualification.

In this way, the situation after offending Su Xiao was filled. With the help of the Original Sin item sent by Su Xiao, he forced the "Golden Holy Cup" to coexist with himself before he died. This was the Priest's plan. Anyway, the follow-up was also being cut by a blunt knife, gradually being devoured by the "Golden Holy Cup," so it was better to be decisive.

The result was that the top-tier Original Sin item didn't come, but an existence on par with the danger of a top-tier Original Sin item came. For this reason, the Priest almost used up all his family fortune to make this grandmother not follow the causal line and swallow all the Old God soul seeds he had set up.

In the dim narrow alley, the Priest pressed one hand on his ribs, feeling the "Golden Holy Cup" that had temporarily coexisted with him. Even if it wasn't permanent coexistence, it was enough.

Just at this moment, several figures stopped at the entrance of the dim alley. These people were all wearing magic robes, and the magic energy fluctuations on their bodies were obvious. They were clearly several Spellcasters.

"Found him. He's here. The Original Sin aura is strong. It can't be wrong."

Several Spellcasters stared at the Priest with murderous intent, which made the smile on the Priest's face even more kind.

Lord's Manor, flower room on the fifth floor of the castle.

Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the floor meditating. Just at this moment, a prompt appeared. After opening it, he found that it was a follow-up prompt he had preset. He opened the list of the World Contact Platform and found that the Priest's name inside had changed from gray to normal, which meant that this old guy had come back to life again.

To this, Su Xiao was not surprised at all. On the contrary, if the Priest had died just like that, he would have felt surprised instead.

However, letting the Priest hide in the dark to take this opportunity was clearly a hidden danger. Naturally, he had to drive him out into the open.

Su Xiao didn't know exactly where the Priest was, but given the vastness of the Sea Clan's main city, the Priest was very likely still over there. Since that was the case, it was easy to handle; just provoke him a little.

The Sea King wouldn't let this humanoid Old God stay in the Sea Clan's main city for a long time. Heaven knows what the other party was planning. And the Spellcasters over there were extremely nervously sensitive to Original Sin items. A humanoid Old God carrying an Original Sin item satisfied the dual hostility of the Sea Clan and the Spellcasters. Plus, with Caesar working secretly, and the Sea Clan dignitaries provoking him, everything became logical.

Su Xiao didn't know whether it was the Sea Clan or the Spellcasters who found the Priest first. It was best if it was the latter. Don't look at this old guy, the Priest, looking kind; under that smiling face, his desire for revenge was very strong.

Thinking about it, the other party had just escaped death from the Candle Girl. Being blocked by the Spellcasters at this stage, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin. The Priest's secret hatred for the Spellcasters must have soared.

In this way, the follow-up plan to ambush the Peerless-level Spellcaster could count the Priest in. It was both for revenge and to fight for the kill reward of killing a "Peerless-level." The Priest wouldn't miss it.

It was interesting to say that as long as the Priest was allowed to hide in the dark, the one being calculated and suffering would definitely be Su Xiao. But if both were in the open, the Priest would suffer more often.

Su Xiao took out a wooden box from his storage space. After opening it, ten "Primordial Fragments" were embedded in the soft padding inside.

Initially, the White Cow gave one, one was obtained in the previous world progress, two were obtained by snatching the family heirloom in this world, two were exchanged in the Abyss shop, three were paid by the Secret Pattern Master after rescuing the Dwarf King, and finally one was obtained by trading with the Candle Girl.

It could only be said that this place was worthy of being a Transcendent Native World. The "Primordial Fragments" that originally needed to be saved for a long time were now only four pieces short of what was needed to promote to "Peerless."

Su Xiao took out the 【Secret Treasure Box】. There was a probability of opening 1-3 "Primordial Fragments" inside. He was hesitating whether to let Morey help try.

The risk was that once the bad luck level reached "Calamity-level," the loss would outweigh the gain.

However, compared to this matter, another matter was more urgent, which was the 【Fake Law-Extinguishing Blade · Demon Spirit Will (Unawakened State)】 forged this time. The appearance of this sword represented two things: one was that the plan to scam the Hunter Guild had completely failed, and the intended fake Law-Extinguishing Blade hadn't been forged.

The harvest was that Su Xiao might be able to develop an extremely powerful Demon Spirit.

【Law-Extinguishing Blade (Fake)】

Origin: Law-Extinguishing Faction/Wind Sea Continent/Dwarf King.

Quality: Origin-level

Category: Long Sword

Durability: 1200/1200 points.

Attack Power: 1-10.

Equipment Requirement: No one can use this weapon normally.

Rating: 3000++++ (Origin-level equipment rating is 1500-3000 points).

Introduction: A weapon forged by a legendary blacksmith. Even if the craftsmanship is ingenious, it is still just a replica. But inside this blade, there is an accidentally born Demon Spirit Will. This will cannot exist independently. Its fate is to be devoured by the Demon Spirit one day, but this is the beginning of everything. Those whose will is not strong are not qualified to possess a Demon Spirit, and those whose soul is not strong are not qualified to let the Demon Spirit awaken its will.

That's right, the appearance of this weapon was just for show, but the Demon Spirit energy inside was incomparably powerful. Su Xiao tried to check the more detailed attributes of this equipment, and the value obtained was that if the Blade Demon Spirit in the Zhan Long Shan devoured this Demon Spirit energy, the Demon Spirit strength of the Blade Demon Spirit would increase by at least 100-130 points.

One had to know that the current Demon Spirit strength was only 87 points. This was still after mastering the "Demon Spirit Awakening" ability to increase it by 15 points, and devouring two Indestructible-characteristic Abyss-nourishing creatures.

Such a large increase had corresponding risks, which was to have a sufficiently high soul strength, otherwise the Blade Demon Spirit would likely backfire.

Su Xiao didn't worry about this aspect. He had a soul strength of 710 points. However, the current Blade Demon Spirit was still digesting the origin energy of the Abyss-nourishing creatures. He had to wait until it finished digesting this aspect before he could start devouring.

Su Xiao put the 【Fake Law-Extinguishing Blade · Demon Spirit Will (Unawakened State)】 into his storage space, and then contacted Morey in the squad channel.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Morey slowly pushed open the door. After sitting on the velvet blanket, she yawned with full sleepiness and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Interested in opening this thing?"

Su Xiao took out the 【Secret Treasure Box】. This made Morey gradually become energetic. She had the chain mission of treasure chest achievements.

This achievement mission was quite interesting. Everyone could only do it once in their lifetime. The content was: the more types of treasure chests opened, the more generous the reward for this mission, and it could continue to accumulate. And Morey received this achievement mission when she was in the Second Tier and had been saving it until now. This made Moon Apostle and Hao Mei feel that she was a ruthless person. How did she endure not harvesting it?

Hearing Morey show off this mission, Su Xiao felt quite interested and asked casually how to trigger it. But Morey stammered and finally squeezed out: "I'll tell the truth, you can't do anything."

Hearing this, Su Xiao basically knew what attribute triggered this mission. It must be the charm attribute. He simply stopped asking to avoid affecting today's mood.

"Last time you opened a treasure chest, you had so much bad luck, so forget it."

Morey frowned and spoke.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Seeing this, Morey made a gesture to open the treasure chest.

Almost at the same time, Su Xiao felt that the luck he couldn't sense in the past could suddenly be sensed at this moment, and the bad luck was like invisible cold needles hanging around him. As long as Morey opened the chest, these bad lucks would immediately invade.

"Stop."

Su Xiao spoke. Morey, who was prepared, stopped opening the chest.

Su Xiao could clearly sense that if he let Morey help open this treasure chest, "Calamity-level" bad luck would definitely strike, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

"Phew~, I said don't open it. What if you get struck by lightning later and implicate me."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Morey with a smile. This made Morey shiver and explained: "Don't mind it. I mean, when you are unlucky, you will be struck by lightning. Ah, no, in short, it's a kind reminder. But come to think of it, is being struck by lightning quite exciting?"

The comfort of a skin-breaking leg was always so impressive. Su Xiao asked casually: "You are a Battle Angel of the Apocalypse Paradise. Have you ever obtained a brand of an Apocalypse Paradise violator?"

"Of course not."

Morey answered with a normal expression. Seeing this, Su Xiao knew that she definitely had it. When Morey lied, her aura would subconsciously be a bit uneasy. She didn't even notice this point herself.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of permanent buff potion and placed it on the floor in front of him. As a little rich woman, Morey's expression was normal, her hands crossed over her chest, looking like she had seen the big world.

Da, da, da, da~

Bottle after bottle of buff potions were placed on the floor. Morey also gradually changed from the proud gaze of crossing her arms to scratching her head with one hand, and finally to touching her chin in entanglement.

"Actually, I really don't have that kind of brand, but Moon Apostle has it. Wait a moment, I'll go beat her... cough~, I'll go discuss it with her, discuss until she agrees."

Morey walked away quickly. A moment later, in the warm bedroom, Moon Apostle was sleeping sweetly. In her dream, Morey was taking her to eat delicious food. Clearly, Morey often did this, which was why Moon Apostle dreamed of it.

Suddenly, Morey grabbed Moon Apostle's petite shoulders and shook her while saying urgently: "It's not good! The enemy has found us! Give me that violator brand you saved, I'll go deal with it!!"

After a chaotic shaking and anxious calling, Moon Apostle was completely confused, and even more confusedly took out a brand. Before she understood what was going on, only she was left in the bedroom.

"w(? Д?)w"

Moon Apostle relaxed for a moment and gradually realized that she had been fooled. But on second thought, continue sleeping. When Morey came back later, she would tell her what price it sold for. Anyway, she couldn't use that thing and had almost forgotten she had it.

The Title Burning Disc manifested. After Su Xiao exchanged for the violator brand with several energy control and mental potions, he was naturally prepared to try whether he could burn out the expected title.

First, use the 【Apocalypse】 title to absorb the violator brand into it, and then embed the 【Apocalypse】 title, 【Holy Flame Pharmacist】 title, and the 3 non-characteristic six-star titles he had saved onto the burning disc.

Try to activate directional synthesis, and the prompt received was that there was no Soul Coin consumption for this burning synthesis, but there was a probability of failure.

In the past, the failure rate for the synthesis of five titles was 0%. This synthesis was clearly quite special. Su Xiao felt he could try it. Recently, his luck had been good, and there was indeed no other room for operation, so he could only try. Besides, the failure rate was indeed very low.

The time required for this title synthesis was not long. During the waiting period, Su Xiao began to consider one thing, which was that since the plan to scam the Hunter Guild failed, it was time to start preparing to kill the Peerless-level Spellcaster.

Regarding this target, it was naturally to choose between Serphilia and Dean Guya.

This matter must not be rushed. In addition to preparing a group of elite Horse-Clan heavy cavalry, with the bonus of the Sun Lord title, there must also be several soul figures in this battle.

First was the Voodoo Warlock Baze. This guy's voodoo could poison Su Xiao, the Holy Flame Pharmacist, and the Priest, the humanoid Old God, which showed his methods in this regard.

The Priest also had to be dragged onto the thief ship again. He urgently needed this guy's poison resistance reduction ability. This guy could even reduce the Wolf God's resistance, so there would definitely be no problem against a Peerless-level Spellcaster.

Besides this, there was another key figure, which was the strongest echelon fortune teller in this world. This fortune teller was the adopted daughter of Grand Commander Kane. Originally, the squad heading to Floating Light Island had a spot for her, but later, considering that the Wolf God's soul power was too powerful, she wasn't allowed to join the squad.

That's right, this one was not only a fortune teller but also skilled in soul poison. This fortune teller's soul poison and the Voodoo Warlock Baze's voodoo were on the same level. Precisely because of this, Grand Commander Kane always disagreed with Su Xiao meeting this fortune teller, both worried that Su Xiao would calculate the other party and worried that the other party would poison Su Xiao.

If this squad was formed, what Serphilia or Dean Guya would face would be voodoo + poison + soul poison, as well as the Priest's poison resistance reduction. Even a "Peerless-level" would find it hard to hold up against this lineup.

【Prompt: Successful synthesis has ended.】

【Synthesis failed.】

【Because the success rate of this synthesis was as high as 99.2%, even if the burning synthesis failed, it was not a complete title shattering. The completion degree of the title synthesis has reached over 96%.】

【You have obtained Title Fragment · Violator. Yes/No to consume enough title origin energy to re-gather this title.】

【You have paid non-characteristic six-star title x1 piece to extract title origin energy.】

【Title reshaping completed. You have obtained special title · Violator.】

【You have obtained commemorative title · Courageous in Defeat (If synthesis fails under the condition that the title synthesis success rate is higher than 99%, you can obtain this commemorative title).】

【Yes/No to claim this commemorative title.】

【Because it was not actively claimed, this title has been stored in your title column by yourself and can be taken out for appreciation at any time.】 ===== CHAPTER 3712 =====
