Chapter 3732: Treasure

As time passed, the temperature inside the sand dune shelter gradually climbed, and dim technique patterns appeared on the surrounding hard sand walls. However, the years of these techniques were too long, and they could no longer play a good shelter effect.

Before, there was no one in this shelter, so it naturally wouldn't be activated. After Su Xiao's team arrived, this shelter was barely operating, but because of the aging of the shelter techniques, this shelter could be maintained for at most 2–3 days.

Su Xiao currently had two Shelter Stones, one of which was produced in this world, and the other was obtained through the Chapter of Greed, which was the 【Extreme Daylight · Shelter Stone】. He didn't plan to use this Shelter Stone for the time being. The reason was that the effect of this Shelter Stone was stronger, and he would only use it when he needed to enter some ultra-high-risk areas.

Pondering, Su Xiao had already set up spatial coordinates in the secret room of the shelter, which made it convenient for him to quickly return to this place with the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" after leaving.

Letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja use the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" was also possible, but they could only use it 1–2 times a day. This was also thanks to the training in the exclusive room.

The training method was very simple. Su Xiao set up a "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" in the trial room of the exclusive room and another one in an empty room. Then, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny, under the condition of wearing a large amount of protective equipment, used the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" in the trial room to teleport to the empty room, and then immediately restored their injuries with the treatment authority.

At first, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang started to slack off after training a few times, but after being hit by a few slippers, it was forced to continue improving its spatial resistance.

Even so, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny still couldn't withstand the teleportation of the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array." If they teleported directly, they would definitely die suddenly. However, after Su Xiao added the crystal layer to them, they could barely withstand 1–2 teleportations a day.

Presumably, through gradual training in the future, this situation would definitely improve. Of course, there was one exception, which was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could use the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" without injury after triggering the 10-second invincibility of the 【Intense Emblem】.

Su Xiao came to the exit of the sand dune shelter. After pulling open the metal door, the hot yellow sand blocked outside flowed in a bit, allowing the upper part of the exit to see the outside.

The scene that met his eyes was a piece of yellow sand. The scorching sun, more than ten times larger than the world he was looking for, hung high in the sky, roasting the sand ground that presented a wave shape, and wisps of white mist occasionally emerged from the sandy soil.

Su Xiao held a handful of yellow sand in one hand. Besides the heat, he actually felt the wetness of this yellow sand. After the yellow sand flowed away from his fingers, he actually got some water liquid on his hands. This feeling was like, what was in front of him was not a dry desert, but a sea of sand.

This was very bad. If this was a desert, then after using the Shelter Stone, he could just walk forward. But if it was a sea of sand, then he needed a boat to cross the sea. And under this calm desert, God knows what terrible creatures were there. This was the Eternal Light World. Even if a strange beast with the strength of an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe suddenly rushed out of the sand sea, Su Xiao wouldn't feel surprised.

The special environment of the Eternal Light World caused some terrible creatures that only lived and existed here to be produced. The characteristics of these creatures were very extreme. They might have the powerful combat strength of an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe, or even an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe. In contrast, once they left the Eternal Light World, they would die in a short time.

The reason these creatures were so terrible was that they were constantly devouring elemental power. If elemental power was compared to oxygen, then the oxygen content in the outside world was about 25%. As for the Eternal Light World, the oxygen content here was 5000%.

This was not an exaggerated metaphor. Saying that the elemental power content here was 5000% was already somewhat reserved. Therefore, creatures that could devour natural elements here were exceptionally powerful.

Regarding why spellcasters didn't come here to absorb elemental power, this was like breathing. Inhaling air with 21% oxygen content would prolong life. But if one inhaled 5000% ultra-concentrated pure oxygen, one would only be poisoned.

What spellcasters devoured were natural elements that coexisted and contacted with Abyss energy, not the terrible elemental power of the Eternal Light World, which had no Abyss energy nourishment.

Su Xiao threw a skeleton outside the shelter. Sure enough, as soon as it landed on the sand water, the skeleton sank. And during the sinking process, because it was illuminated by the daylight here, the skeleton began to become semi-transparent, and then turned into transparent water liquid, merging into the sand sea.

This was the characteristic of the daylight here: evaporating the flesh of living creatures, waterizing bones. Of course, after using the Shelter Stone, this situation could be avoided.

Su Xiao crushed the Shelter Stone in his hand. With a snap, milky-white brilliance spread out from inside, climbed onto his body surface, and finally faded away. He climbed out from the upper half of the exit, climbed to the top of the shelter, and looked around. Ripples slowly swung across the sand ground in the surroundings, just like the sea surface.

Su Xiao was now wearing the 【Rule-Breaker】 title, disguised as a rule-breaker. The reason was that as a Law-Breaker entering this world, once his identity was exposed, he would immediately attract the pursuit of all world-destroying existences and Abyss-corrupted creatures.

At present, those terrible existences didn't know that Su Xiao had come to this world, but this wouldn't last long. As long as he made a move to fight, and the enemy was a world-destroying existence or an Abyss-corrupted creature, his identity would be immediately exposed.

Therefore, before his identity was exposed, Su Xiao had to get enough Shelter Stones at the very least, otherwise he wouldn't even have the qualifications to deal with the pursuit.

He took out a metal pillar the thickness of a forearm. After pressing the bottom, the things inside it expanded, forming a small wooden boat. Don't underestimate this wooden boat. This boat could float on more than 96% of the sea surface, and it had the effect of hiding aura. After specifying a direction, it would automatically drift. These functions were all tested by Benny and were very easy to use.

Su Xiao jumped down from the top of the shelter and landed on the boat. The boat began to sail in the specified direction, which was the direction where Benny was.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and everywhere the eye could see was yellow sand. Yet, the breeze that blew carried a damp, cool sensation of water vapor. Compared to sailing on the endless sea, drifting on the sea of sand is actually more terrifying, because one cannot see what lies at the bottom of the yellow sand at all. The sand here only looks like sand; at a depth of more than a dozen centimeters, the water-sand is much more diluted, and beyond a meter deep, it is completely thinned out to the same consistency as liquid water.

After sailing for less than a kilometer, Su Xiao felt the wooden boat under him have signs of floating up. This feeling was clearly that something was swimming past underneath, and the size of this thing was not small.

Su Xiao confronted the giant thing underneath for a few seconds. Although he was disguised as a rule-breaker, his blood energy was not disguised at all. Sufficiently strong blood energy was more convenient for walking in the Eternal Light World.

After confronting the giant thing invisible under the water for half a minute, the wooden boat was lifted up by a wave again. After that, the sand ground calmed down. He could vaguely hear the low humming sound from the bottom of the nine netherworlds underneath.

Su Xiao's hand had just lifted from the hilt of the blade, and the next moment, the wooden boat under his feet was lifted up.

'Extreme Blade · World!'

Zing!!

The circular Extreme Blade domain suddenly shrouded the surroundings. The amplitude of the wooden boat being lifted up stopped, and then it fell. In turn, the surrounding sand ground became wet, completely waterized, and then dyed blood red. A giant thing with a shape like a catfish and a body length of several hundred meters floated up. Most of its fish head disappeared, the arc-shaped cut was exceptionally smooth, and black marks crossed in the surrounding space.

Su Xiao's hand no longer pressed on the hilt of the blade. He jumped onto a new small wooden boat. The wooden boat gradually sailed away. And where the giant catfish corpse was, thousands of fish appeared. They all had ferocious sharp teeth, which was the standard configuration in the sand sea. In a very short time, the giant catfish that dared to attack Su Xiao just now didn't even have a residue left.

As the temperature continued to rise, the true appearance of the sand sea was revealed. Except for a thin layer of sand on the surface, the bottom had completely turned into water liquid.

Su Xiao's aura gradually calmed down. Using 'Extreme Blade · World' for the first time to kill an enemy, he found that this ability was easier to use than he imagined. In contrast, the physical consumption was also very large. If it weren't for the support of many passive abilities, using this ability once might lead to exhaustion. And with his current physique, there was no feeling of exhaustion after using it, but it must not be used continuously in a short time.

After sailing for almost an hour, a pile of ship wreckage came into view. These wrecks were mixed with wooden boards and metal, which looked like it was only a few days ago.

This showed that in this world, besides the Shelter City, this largest gathering place, there were some other shelter areas of different sizes, although the scale should be less than one-tenth of the Shelter City. But compared to the Shelter City, these small and medium-sized shelter areas were more daring to come out and explore.

A series of broken floating islands appeared in front, and these floating islands were connected by chains and vines. In some places, there were suspension bridges and spiral staircases, and at the very top, there was a giant ship. This giant ship was dragged by the floating islands and moved forward slowly.

Looking into the distance for a while, Su Xiao decisively put away the small wooden boat and jumped into the sand water, letting himself float quietly a few meters away from the water surface. The surroundings were pitch black, and the dark bottom under his feet brought people the unknown and fear of the deep sea.

Maintaining this state for nearly an hour, Su Xiao floated to the water surface, released the boat again, and jumped onto it. The floating islands and giant ship he saw just now had already drifted away. He could vaguely perceive that inside the kilometer-long giant ship, it was crowded with a kind of liquid existence. This thing was a certain world-destroying existence.

Continuing to sail, Su Xiao perceived through his intuition that the tingling sensation that kept coming from the surroundings had gradually disappeared. This meant that he was heading toward the edge of the sand sea. Unfortunately, there was no map, otherwise he could roughly judge how far it was from the "Shelter City."

Only then did Su Xiao have time to check the hint that appeared just now, which was about the rewards of the "Survival Ranking."

【The rewards for this round of Survival Ranking are as follows:】

First place: Talent Badge (Talent-type item, each person can use at most once).

Second place: Abyss Box (After opening, there is a high probability of obtaining Abyss products).

Third place: Random Origin-grade set (After opening, you can obtain one of the only ten Origin-grade sets.)

Fourth place: Crimson Crystal (Abyss characteristic item).

Fifth place: Golden Power Scroll (After use, you can obtain 1–30 Golden Skill Points).

Sixth to tenth place: Can obtain corresponding 80–20 Soul Crystals.

Tenth to fiftieth place: Can obtain 20,000–5,000 Soul Coins.

Various rewards floated in front of his eyes. Among them, the one that immediately attracted Su Xiao's attention was not the 【Talent Badge】 in the first place, but the reward in the second place, the 【Abyss Box】.

【"Abyss Treasure Chest (After opening, there is a low probability of obtaining Abyss products)."】

【"Abyss Box (After opening, there is a high probability of obtaining Abyss products)."】

Su Xiao had successively opened three Origin Sin items from the 【Abyss Treasure Chest】 with a low probability of opening Abyss products. If he opened the 【Abyss Box】, wouldn't that be amazing? Even if he obtained the 【Abyss Box】, he had to consider selling it. At the current stage, Su Xiao holding four Origin Sin items was already the limit.

This made Su Xiao determined that this time he would either board the first place, or the third place, or below the third place. All of these were acceptable. In short, don't obtain this 【Abyss Box】.

Besides the ranking, Su Xiao checked the world shop of the Tree of Void this time. Every time he could obtain world reputation, there was naturally a world shop. The disadvantage was that no matter how great his ability was, it was impossible to operate in the world shop. The good news was that the world shop would expand the exchange list in stages, and there were often high-star titles inside.

If he could raise two main titles to nine-star titles this time, Su Xiao's grasp of completing the attribute trial and being promoted to Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe would be greatly improved.

【World Shop has been activated. Due to the special situation of this world, the world shop will not add exchange items in stages, but will only retain the most basic title exchange.】

【Title exchange method is being randomly selected...】

【Selection completed. This time, title exchange will be provided in the form of "Title Treasure Chest."】

【Due to the characteristics of this world, the exchange item types of the world shop have been compressed to the minimum, and corresponding authority will be compensated. You can choose one of the following authorities.】

1. Temporarily activate the Title Burning Disk notarized by the Tree of Void, and you can use this Title Burning Disk to synthesize titles for free in this world.

2. The probability of producing high-star titles in the Title Treasure Chest is increased.

【Your current world reputation: 0 points (World reputation in this world can be obtained through various ways).】

【You can exchange for the following items.】

1. Title Treasure Chest.

Usage effect: After opening, you can obtain ★–★★★★★★★★★ titles.

Hint: Before opening, you can choose a fixed-characteristic title or a non-attribute title.

Inventory quantity: -- pieces (No limit on exchange quantity).

Exchange price: 1 point of world reputation.

Seeing this Title Treasure Chest, Su Xiao's gaze gradually became solemn. He tried to consult this Title Treasure Chest on what probability it used to produce titles. The result obtained was that it was based on personal luck, plus the Tree of Void reputation as a measure, combined with the two to determine the probability of the contractor drawing a high-star title each time.

If the luck was good, it was completely possible to draw a nine-star title in one go. Of course, that was a 0.001% probability.

Seeing this data, Su Xiao chose the "Title Burning Disk" free usage authority without any hesitation.

Since he had the Law-Breaker luck, plus the Tree of Void reputation -???, then he would use one-star titles to synthesize. Titles with fixed characteristics generally could only be synthesized three times, which meant that one-star titles could be synthesized to four stars at most. But non-attribute titles didn't have this problem, because the title energy within non-attribute titles was very pure. With the corresponding authority obtained in Tier 9, it was completely possible to synthesize them continuously.

To be more precise, the reason why titles with attributes could only be synthesized three times was not because of the restriction of the Reincarnation Paradise, but because the main title was improved by title energy with multiple characteristics, leading to an upper limit, so there was such a situation.

Non-attribute titles didn't have this problem at all. Actually, this was the purest title energy, and synthesizing to a higher star level was also a process of gathering less to make more.

There was one problem: Su Xiao's two main titles were both eight-star titles. To burn and synthesize one of them into a nine-star title, at the very least, he needed 5 eight-star non-attribute titles.

May I ask, how many one-star non-attribute titles are needed to synthesize 1 eight-star non-attribute title? The answer is 78,125 pieces. If it were 5 eight-star non-attribute titles, it would need 390,625 one-star non-attribute titles.

There was one problem: Su Xiao needed a total of 10 eight-star non-attribute titles, which meant a total of 781,250 one-star titles were needed. This sounded like a lot, but in total, 781,250 points of world reputation were needed.

As for why Su Xiao was so sure that he would definitely draw one-star non-attribute titles when he opened the 【Title Treasure Chest】, if this Title Treasure Chest only looked at luck, then Su Xiao had a way. After all, he had 70 points of luck attribute, plus Law-Breaker luck was not continuously unlucky. According to the original words of the Goddess of Luck, luck was an electrocardiogram, sometimes very low, sometimes very high.

Therefore, if the 【Title Treasure Chest】 only looked at luck, it could still be operated. The problem was that this thing also looked at the Tree of Void reputation, which was unsolvable. The Tree of Void reputation was the price for developing the Zerg. Undoubtedly, this was worth it, otherwise what Su Xiao faced when he came to the Eternal Light World today would be a dead end.

Su Xiao tried to materialize the Title Burning Disk notarized by the Tree of Void. It was different from the Title Burning Disk notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. There were root-like patterns on it. After checking the synthesis limit, he found that synthesizing hundreds of one-star non-attribute titles at the same time was no problem, and the synthesis speed of one-star titles was also very fast.

Closing the Title Burning Disk, Su Xiao looked at a dense forest in front. The appearance of such a dense forest on the edge of the sand sea was too abnormal, so he controlled the small wooden boat to bypass this place.

Because the sand dune shelter itself was on the very outer edge of the sand sea, Su Xiao arrived at the edge after sailing for more than an hour. In front was a towering black wall. After putting away the small wooden boat, Su Xiao climbed up the black wall and looked around. This was a piece of Gobi that looked like it had been roasted by fire.

Su Xiao had just prepared to continue moving toward the direction where Benny was, when he suddenly found a low building on a hill in the distance. That looked somewhat like a space tower.

After observing for a while, Su Xiao decided to go and see. When he arrived near the space tower, he perceived the faint and strange aura inside. This should be some kind of powerful ghost. He walked toward the space tower without restraining his aura. The powerful ghost inside hid. Blade Technique Grandmaster was simply the nemesis of this kind of strange existence.

Walking into the space tower, Su Xiao found that this place was kept quite intact. He came to the teleportation platform and observed for a while. The teleportation array on it was severely aged, and 99.9% of people wouldn't dare to use it, but Su Xiao dared. It wasn't that he was blindly confident, but compared to the "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array," the risk of this old teleportation array was simply not worth mentioning.

Observing the scale dial of the teleportation array for a while, one of the symbols caught his attention. That was the representative symbol of the Shelter City, which he had seen in the world introduction.

Click click~

Following Su Xiao's adjustment, the spatial scale was stabilized in the direction of the Shelter City. Su Xiao activated the teleportation array.

Boom!

The teleportation ended quickly. On a strange, dilapidated teleportation platform, Su Xiao staggered forward a few steps due to inertia. Terrifying spatial debris splashed around him, but he casually raised his hand to block them. This level of spatial fluctuation was simply a piece of cake.

Su Xiao had just left the old teleportation tower he was in when the tower collapsed. The translucent sunlight was exceptionally dazzling, making people squint their eyes subconsciously.

Located in front, a black stone giant tree stood between heaven and earth. This black stone giant tree was ridiculously tall, and its top stood in the clouds. All its branches hung down, like a giant umbrella shape, except that all the black stone branches hung to the ground, and even sank deep into the soil.

The range covered by this black stone giant tree was at least the size of a medium-sized city, or even larger. And those hanging branches were very dense, forming a tree-wall-like barrier, leaving only an entrance a few dozen meters high. But the metal opposing doors of that entrance were tightly closed, and the small door a few meters high under the giant door was open, with guards wearing heavy armor inside.

That's right, what was in front was the Shelter City. The structure of the entire Shelter City was very simple, divided into Lower City, Middle City, and Upper City. The Lower City at the very bottom was the area where civilians lived, which was also the largest area, occupying more than 70% of the entire Shelter City area.

The Middle City area was controlled by the Lightless Temple. Civilians who had been approved could enter it. And the Top City located at the very top was a place for civilians to worship the Lord of Eternal Darkness. Although the Lord of Eternal Darkness was not there, no one dared to set foot in it.

Su Xiao soon stopped at the entrance of the Shelter City. As a result, he found that the guards inside the door didn't come up to check. That attitude clearly meant that as long as it was an intelligent life, it could enter and leave the Shelter City at will.

As he walked into the Shelter City, a cool feeling came to his face. Without the illumination of daylight, the light also dimmed. A feeling of both safety and danger appeared, which made Su Xiao frown. This Shelter City was not right, very not right, especially the top. Others couldn't perceive it, but as the nemesis of world-destroying existences · Shadow of Law-Breaker, he perceived that there was the aura of a world-destroying existence at the top of this Shelter City for the first time. Although it was very faint, he wouldn't perceive it wrong.

That aura was very faint. Even if perceived, it would be mistaken for the aura of a god. Except for Law-Breakers or Abyss Wardens, others basically had no possibility of perceiving that something was wrong. And this aura was exceptionally powerful, that kind of power that swallowed all light. Thinking that the Shelter City was controlled by the Lightless Temple, and the Lord of Eternal Darkness believed in by the Lightless Temple, Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on.

He was strange before, how could these terrible monsters in the Eternal Light World endure not coming here to hunt for living creatures? Most world-destroying existences were very eager for fresh vitality. Now it seemed that everything was reasonable, because the one sheltering here was one of the strongest world-destroying existences in this world · The Lord of Eternal Darkness.

Walking on the street, there were quite a few pedestrians. The native people here didn't know what was sheltering here, mistakenly thinking that the Lord of Eternal Darkness was a god-like existence. Therefore, the pedestrians on the street had natural expressions, street vendors were cooking snacks, and in the darker alleys, a few teenage pickpockets were counting the stolen property with full faces of pride.

Although Su Xiao had just arrived at the Shelter City, he knew one thing: the residents of the Shelter City and some of the powerhouses there actually didn't have any malicious intent. At most, some powerhouses had become disheartened after being struck down by the powerful monsters from the outside world. As for the members of the Lightless Temple in the middle district here, they were the lackeys under the command of the Lord of Eternal Darkness.

The Lightless Temple was founded by the Lord of Eternal Darkness. Thinking about it this way, this faction basically represented some world-destroying existences or Abyss-corrupted creatures. It was possible that the highest ruler of this faction was not only the Lord of Eternal Darkness, but also other powerful world-destroying existences or Abyss-corrupted creatures.

The only good news now was that the Lord of Eternal Darkness was not in the Shelter City, otherwise the aura at the top of the Shelter City wouldn't be so faint.

Su Xiao tossed a gold coin in his hand. This gold coin had an emblem representing the Devil race, emitting a fluctuation that was extremely difficult to perceive. When he walked to a side street, a figure stood in a small alley on the side, wearing clerical attire, with both hands crossed and leaning against the wall. Seeing Su Xiao cast his gaze, this person showed a smile.

That's right, it was the "good teammate" Zui Yas. Two world progressions later, this guy's aura was even more unfathomable. That was a kind of aura that was exceptionally difficult to kill and eliminate.

Su Xiao walked into the alley. Zui Yas, who was leading the way, didn't speak, just pushed open a door at the innermost part of the alley.

The door closed, and in the pitch-black room, the three of them sat opposite each other in the dark across a small round table.

"Bai Ye, it seems you have encountered a big trouble this time."

Wood spoke first. The emerald pupil flames made him look strange in the dark. This guy had always been strange, no, it was even stranger than before now.

Su Xiao didn't speak. He lit the candle on the table. Zui Yas on the side said: "Wood, don't say those meaningless things. This time, all three of us have our own troubles, don't we."

"Promotion to Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe."

Su Xiao didn't hide it and told his core purpose of coming to this world.

"Monarch's Treasure."

Zui Yas spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao and Wood both looked at him, their gazes almost saying: 'You actually fell for such a trap.'

"Damn!"

The more Zui Yas thought about it, the angrier he became. He knocked on the table with his fist. He pondered for a few seconds and said with a bit of gnashing teeth: "Here... there really is a Monarch's Treasure. The faction I belong to has been looking for this treasure for a long time, and this time it was finally located. This treasure is here."

"..."

"..."

Su Xiao and Wood looked at each other, suddenly feeling that the current situation was confusing.

"I don't know which bastard spread the news that there is a Monarch's Treasure here. The photos spread by that guy are completely nonsense. The photos are fake, but this matter is true."

The more Zui Yas spoke, the angrier he became, and he knocked on the table with his fist again. The candle flame on the table flickered.

"Wait, you mean, the person who spread this news actually didn't know there was a Monarch's Treasure here. That guy's situation is similar to the time Bai Ye went to the Dead Silence City, and then the real situation is, there really is a Monarch's Treasure here?"

Wood spoke with a smile. It could be seen that he didn't laugh out loud because of his friendship with Zui Yas.

"It seems, that's the case."

Zui Yas finished speaking and stopped talking, his gaze looking at Wood.

"To tell you the truth, our Devil race actually has another Origin Sin item. I came here this time to place this Origin Sin item in the Eternal Light World."

Wood said it relatively tactfully, which was actually to get rid of the "Wild Father."

Wood's gaze looked toward Su Xiao. That look seemed to be asking: 'Bai Ye, since you have already sealed two Origin Sin items, the Book of Dead Spirits and the Soul Crown, why not seal another one?'

Wood naturally didn't know that the Origin Sin items held by Su Xiao had increased from two to four.

Su Xiao was also looking at Wood. The reason was that since the Devil race could hold two Origin Sin items before, now that only one was left, why not add another one? For example, the "Nether Bone Ring," that emerald green tone was almost the same as Wood's pupil flames.

Su Xiao and Wood looked at each other, both asking the other party with their eyes if they were interested in adding an Origin Sin item. And Zui Yas on the side didn't even dare to breathe out loud. ===== CHAPTER 3733 =====
