Chapter 3735

Having harvested 2680 one-star non-attribute titles, Su Xiao opened the Title Burning Disk notarized by the Void Tree, gathered all these non-attribute titles into it, and chose to synthesize them.

The synthesis speed of non-attribute titles was very fast, and results came out in a while. Su Xiao obtained 4 five-star non-attribute titles, 1 four-star non-attribute title, 2 three-star non-attribute titles, and 1 two-star non-attribute title.

This is still a long way from gathering 10 eight-star titles, but it is also a good start.

Furthermore, as long as he can get 5 eight-star non-attribute titles and upgrade War Lord to nine stars, then this world will basically be stable in the mid-stage. In the mid-to-late stage, he will consider how to upgrade the combat-type title 【Deep Blue Shadow】 to nine stars.

Originally, the limit of the 【Deep Blue Shadow】 title was to be burned to eight stars, but the way this title was promoted to seven stars was special, achieved through a title named 【Holy Meal】, which greatly increased the potential of 【Deep Blue Shadow】.

The current performance of 【Deep Blue Shadow】 is not bad. There are three bonuses: Blade-type weapon damage tier +1, total health +30%, and speed bonus.

However, the total health +30% began to gradually weaken when Su Xiao's health reached 500,000 points. Even if this bonus has priority, it is relative. This is an eight-star title, so theoretically, it corresponds to the Eighth Tier, so it has priority at the Eighth Tier level.

When Su Xiao's health completely exceeded the upper limit of the Eighth Tier, the title's health enhancement began to decrease continuously. By now, it has been reduced to a very low level.

But this does not matter. Titles from one star to eight stars correspond to the First Tier to the Eighth Tier, respectively. But as long as a title is promoted to nine stars, it is another level, because nine-star titles correspond not only to the Ninth Tier but to the Ninth Tier to Supreme-level. Therefore, the gap between Ninth-Tier titles is particularly large.

After reaching nine stars, the rules for title burning have changed. Nine-star titles can also be burned and upgraded through 5 nine-star sub-titles, but only the title strength is improved, and the title star level will no longer be improved. There is another point: when a nine-star title completes one burning, the success rate of the next burning will not be 100%, even if the five sub-title slots on the burning disk are inlaid with Ninth-Tier titles, but will be reduced to 80%.

After completing the second limit burning, the success rate of the third limit burning will fall to only 20%. The fourth time is even more outrageous, not even 5%. As for the fifth limit burning, there may not even be a 0.1% success rate.

The reason for this is related to the structure of the title. What determines the title strength is something called title energy. This is a miracle energy that can only be realized under the notarization of the Paradise faction.

Each limit burning of a Ninth-Tier title is to pour more title energy into the Ninth-Tier title, and the body of the Ninth-Tier title is equivalent to a container. The success rate of each subsequent burning is actually the probability of this container breaking. That is correct, once it fails, the Ninth-Tier title painstakingly synthesized will instantly shatter.

The Paradise faction has always been high-risk and high-reward. The improvement of the second limit burning of a nine-star title is already very exaggerated. As for a nine-star title that has been limit-burned five times, it seems that it has not appeared yet.

There is a very interesting saying that in the later stages, upgrading a title to nine stars is actually just the beginning. The subsequent upgrades are thrilling, even more breathtaking than strengthening equipment.

Because Su Xiao has -19 points—no, after arriving at the Eternal Light World, it has become -20 points of Charm attribute—he does not have many ways to obtain titles. They are generally obtained through the World Store or Title Store notarized by the Void Tree.

This gave Su Xiao an idea. Because the danger level of this world is ridiculously high, the Title Chest in the World Store has a temporary permission, with a 15% probability of opening a tradable title. Therefore, buying titles from other contractors is not a bad choice.

The problem is, what to buy with? Soul coins? Su Xiao himself is particularly short of this thing, especially after mastering "Technique Sublimation · Ultimate Blade" and unlocking a large number of "General Passives" on the Awakening Monument.

There is something that can be used to buy titles, and that is Space-Time Power. If all the bounties on this "Hunting List · Blood Pact" are completed, a total of 26,000 ounces of Space-Time Power can be earned. Among them, 10,000 ounces are reserved for buying things in the Honor Store, and the remaining 16,000 ounces of Space-Time Power can actually be used to buy titles.

Among the bounties in the "Hunting List · Blood Pact," the Molten Giant and the Origin Stone · World Fragment must be found. The former relates to the improvement of armor, and the latter is the last missing fragment.

The bounty for the Molten Giant is 2500 ounces of Space-Time Power, and the bounty for the Origin Stone · World is 7500 ounces of Space-Time Power. Excluding these two types of bounties, the Space-Time Power obtained from other bounties can be used to buy titles.

There is an even more important point: whether it is the Apocalypse Paradise, the Holy Light Paradise, or the Sanctuary Paradise, they are not very rich in terms of Space-Time Power. The Death Paradise is okay, but it cannot compare with the Reincarnation Paradise.

The specialty of the Death Paradise is 【Dead Holy Emblem】, the specialty of the Apocalypse Paradise is 【Star Meteor Melting Furnace】, and the specialty of the Reincarnation Paradise, in the early and mid-stages, Su Xiao thought for a long time that the specialty of the Reincarnation Paradise was Space-Time Power. Later, he found that it was not. Space-Time Power is a resource of the Paradise level.

This also leads to the fact that the difficulty for Reincarnation Paradise contractors to obtain Space-Time Power is lower than that of contractors from other paradises. Therefore, in the perception of other paradises, Space-Time Power is more precious. In addition, before the brand level reaches Lv. 85, there are various restrictions on the trading of Space-Time Power between contractors.

Even if the brand level exceeds Lv. 85, there are actually restrictions, but they are not as strict as before. Before the brand level reaches Lv. 90, the Space-Time Power trading limit for a world progression is within 20,000 ounces. This is still the brand restriction situation of the Reincarnation Paradise; the brand restrictions of other paradises should be greater.

And after having the "Hunting List · Blood Pact," Su Xiao already has a stable way to obtain Space-Time Power.

These things are not urgent for now. Su Xiao needs to complete the breakthrough of the 300-point attribute barrier as soon as possible at this stage, because in his view, successfully ascending to a Supreme-level entity is the beginning of the journey in this world. Otherwise, let alone searching for the Monarch's Treasure and preventing world-destroying existences from escaping this world, even encountering 'wild monsters' in this world could lead to sudden death.

Originally, Su Xiao's idea was to find an opportunity to develop the Zerg after entering this world and use the Zerg to get through the most difficult initial stage. But after entering the Eternal Light World, he found that the situation was much better than estimated because of the appearance of the Monarch's Treasure, and the entire Lightless Temple was staring at this matter.

Powerful existences like the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Abyss Archbishop, the Progenitor, and the Astral Devourer were almost driven crazy by being locked up. Among them, the Progenitor had been imprisoned here for more than 100,000 years. The Eternal Light World had not been a cage for long when the Progenitor was locked in.

The Astral Devourer ranked second, having been locked in for over 90,000 years. The Abyss Archbishop had been there for about 50,000 years, while the Lord of Eternal Darkness had the shortest time, having been locked in for a few thousand years.

Precisely because of this, the Lord of Eternal Darkness had the firmest idea of escaping. It built the Shelter City and created the Lightless Temple faction. And when it used the divine position of the Lightless Temple to win over the Abyss Archbishop, the Progenitor, and the Astral Devourer, the attitudes of the three parties were very interesting.

The attitudes of the Abyss Archbishop and the Astral Devourer were, whatever, they couldn't get out anyway. The Progenitor was the least interested. You must know that when it was sealed, its range of activity was not as large as a world, but in a place the size of only one building, sealed for more than 100,000 years.

At first, it was angry and arrogant, but after 100,000 years, it began to repent for its past evils, regretting having devoured all living beings in nearly a hundred worlds. Immediately after, the Progenitor was numbed by being locked up, until finally, this world-destroying existence went a bit crazy.

Therefore, the Progenitor is the one who hates the Law-Extinguishing Shadow the most and is the craziest among the four giants of the Lightless Temple. If it had to choose between escaping this world and killing Su Xiao, the Progenitor would choose the latter without hesitation.

The good news is that these world-destroying existences do not know that Su Xiao has already arrived here.

This advantage must be maintained. Therefore, Su Xiao decided to postpone the time to summon Jila here. Furthermore, to really deal with the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Abyss Archbishop, the Progenitor, and the Astral Devourer, one cannot rely on Jila. Such world-destroying existences are the least afraid of human-sea tactics. For example, the Abyss Aura of the Abyss Archbishop: targets within a certain range of it, once their vitality is lower than a certain critical point, will be instantly absorbed by it.

But this does not mean that Jila does not need to be developed. There are many enemies in this world that need Jila to deal with, such as Star-Parasite Crabs, World-Eaters, etc. These are enemies that Su Xiao cannot deal with either after ascending to Supreme-level.

Simply put, there are two types of enemies in the Eternal Light World.

One type is invincible in group battles, which Jila has to deal with. Su Xiao has no possibility of winning, and even fighting them is certain death.

The other type is powerful individuals who are natural enemies of group battles. These powerful enemies need to be killed by Su Xiao after ascending to Supreme-level. Jila cannot deal with them at all. It can be said that these are Jila's nemesis, but such existences are particularly rare, and there are only a few in the Eternal Light World.

After making up his mind, Su Xiao decided to go to the Eroding Rain Land first. The Watcher's Gao Ta is over there. The problem is that he is not very confident in going to the Eroding Rain Land alone. If he could trick two "good teammates" into coming and let those two guys go to the Eroding Rain Land with him, it would be much safer.

As long as the "good teammates" are found, the probability of survival after encountering danger will soar by at least two-thirds, because after encountering enemies that cannot be dealt with, Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas will turn and run away at the same time, and if there is only one enemy, it can only choose one of the three to chase.

If you team up with others, it really doesn't have this effect. The reason is that Su Xiao's Charm attribute is -20 points, which makes it easy for him to become the one being chased. But after standing with two "good teammates," this is not a problem at all.

Zuiyas's arrogance has penetrated into his aura and even his soul. The first time an enemy sees this guy, they will subconsciously feel: "Damn, this guy is so arrogant, the more I look at him, the angrier I get."

As for Wood, the triple passive taunt buff of Devil Race + Trickster + Contract Master is superimposed.

20 points of Charm, arrogant into the soul, triple passive taunt. When these three stand side by side, the enemy's thoughts will stutter. For a moment, it is really difficult to decide which one to chase first.

Just as Su Xiao was thinking about this, the teleportation array on the outer side of the sanctuary lit up, and two figures walked down from it. One of them was Thorns, and the other was a woman in a black long dress with a gentle figure. This was the Dark Lady.

The Dark Lady's eyes were pitch black. Although her temperament was gentle, when she stared at people with her faint gaze, it would make those with weak willpower feel inexplicably terrified.

In addition to those pitch-black eyes, the Dark Lady's arms were black-blue crystal prosthetics. The crystals of these two prosthetics near the shoulders were completely pitch-black. The closer to the hands, the more transparent blue they were. The fingertips still retained a beautiful light blue feeling. All the details of these two arms were very fine, but the degree of damage was not low, especially the left arm. The wrist under the cuff was already half damaged.

After the Dark Lady walked down from the teleportation platform, she inserted a sharp sword in its scabbard into a groove of a sculpture. On this sculpture, there were more than a dozen sharp swords in their scabbards, including great swords that looked like wolf swords and mechanism swords used by Eternal Light Watchers.

After placing the weapons, the Dark Lady came to Su Xiao and said softly: "Lord Law-Extinguisher, are you here to fulfill your duties as a Law-Extinguisher?"

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. He glanced at the pair of skulls near the teleportation array that had been burned to white bones by darkness. Conservatively estimated, this pair of skulls were both Supreme-level when alive, and the combat power of the Dark Lady who turned them into this appearance and piled them here can be imagined.

Thorns, a few meters away, had already begun to wink frantically, because after the Eternal Light World fell into this situation, the existence of the Dark Lady was different from the past.

In the past, the Dark Lady's duty was to provide the "Shelter" buff status for Law-Extinguishers and Abyss Watchers, and to ensure the safety of the Watcher's Gao Ta when needed.

But later, most of the Watcher's High Towers were destroyed, and one Dark Lady after another died. The last Dark Lady came to the Gray Sanctuary and activated this last sanctuary. After that, the Old Tree Clan member, Thorns, and the scroll master came here. Since then, the Dark Lady's duty changed to cleaning up the world-destroying existences in this world as much as possible.

The Dark Lady has been fulfilling this duty, and today, a Law-Extinguishing Shadow has arrived. If Su Xiao agrees to the Dark Lady's "Oath," then the Dark Lady's duty will be restored to the beginning, which is to ensure the safety of the Gray Sanctuary and to bless the Law-Extinguishing Shadow with the "Shelter" status, allowing the Law-Extinguishing Shadow to be completely fearless of the extreme daylight of the Eternal Light World.

Although Su Xiao did not answer the Dark Lady's "Oath," the Dark Lady just waited quietly. After a while, he asked: "What is the duty of a Law-Extinguisher here?"

"To slash and extinguish the prisoners who escaped from the cage."

"Is that so? Then I should have no problem."

"I wish you success, Lord Law-Extinguisher."

After the Dark Lady spoke, she came to a seat by the wall and sat on it quietly. In front of her was a small round stone table, and opposite was a stone chair with a backrest. After the Dark Lady sat down, she made a gesture of invitation, meaning to let Su Xiao sit opposite.

Su Xiao had just sat down when the Dark Lady opposite raised her hands, holding them in a virtual grip. On her transparent blue crystal fingers, black energy emerged, forming an energy black ball between her virtual hands.

The overly dense darkness caused a bright white faint light to appear in the center. A silk thread spread out from this faint light. This bright white silk thread spread to Su Xiao's arm, and subsequently, a shelter energy was blessed upon him.

Not only that, this shelter energy continued to spread, spreading to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja in the form of silk threads.

【You have obtained the Dark Lady's "Shelter" buff. For the next 10 natural days, you will be fearless of the scorching of the extreme daylight.】

Su Xiao finally understood why Thorns said he shouldn't need these things when he gave him shelter stones before. The Dark Lady can bless the "Shelter" status once, and it can last for 10 days. And this status can not only be blessed once. When the time is almost up, you can come to the Dark Lady to bless it again.

"Lord Law-Extinguisher, my arms are damaged. Can you help me repair them?"

The Dark Lady raised her left arm, pulled up some cuffs, and placed the crystal prosthetic on the stone table.

Su Xiao's index finger pointed at the damaged part of the Dark Lady's wrist. Subsequently, he discovered that these two crystal arms should have been constructed by a certain previous generation Law-Extinguisher using the Proud Song ability to crystallize the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability. After so many years, the structure of these two crystal arms was still so stable, which shows how powerful the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability of that Law-Extinguishing Shadow was at that time.

Su Xiao constructed crystals with 9500 points of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. This was the highest intensity Proud Song crystal he could generate. Subsequently, he used these Proud Song crystals, which were still in a liquid state, to repair the Dark Lady's crystal arms. Not only the left arm, but he let the Dark Lady place both crystal arms on the stone table.

In a while, the damaged parts of the Dark Lady's two crystal arms were repaired. Not only that, Su Xiao constructed dozens of Spirit Shadow Lines, letting these highly active Spirit Shadow Lines sink into the Dark Lady's arms as the nerves of these two arms, and connected them to the nerves of the broken arm at the shoulder.

The Dark Lady's shoulders moved unnaturally, and then returned to quiet. It can be said that the Dark Lady is always very quiet, quiet, gentle, but powerful.

If it is said that constructing prosthetics with Proud Song crystals, with Su Xiao's current Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability level, it is indeed not as good as the previous generation Law-Extinguisher. But if it is said that the perfection of the crystal arms, Su Xiao is not afraid of any previous generation Law-Extinguisher. This point has been recognized by the unscrupulous Law-Extinguishing mentor and the old Law-Extinguisher.

When the perfection of the crystal arms ended, the Dark Lady raised her hand and touched her cheek with her fingers. Subsequently, the touch of her fingertips made her pitch-black eyes have a bit of surprise. This was the first time she had expressed other emotions besides being quiet since they met.

The Dark Lady slowly moved her ten fingers. After a while, she bowed slightly to Su Xiao and said: "Thank you, Lord Law-Extinguisher."

After speaking, the Dark Lady took out a parchment map from the drawer of the stone table and placed it on the stone table.

【Prompt: You have received a side mission: Treasure.】

【Side Mission: Treasure.】

Difficulty Level: Lv.???

Mission Introduction: When you complete a specific event, or kill one of the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Abyss Archbishop, the Progenitor, or the Astral Devourer, the Dark Lady will hand you the location of the Law-Extinguishing Treasury she found in the form of a treasury map.

Warning: Do not attempt to forcibly seize the treasury map from the Dark Lady. Otherwise, she will take corresponding measures to give you a counterattack that will never be fatal but will require many days of recuperation.

Mission Deadline: Before leaving this world.

Mission Reward: -- (determined according to the actual situation).

Mission Penalty: None.

The mission content is very simple. For example, if Su Xiao activates the "Super-World-Tier Sealing Technique" left by the Law-Extinguishing faction, or kills one of the four giants of the Lightless Temple, he can get a treasury map from the Dark Lady to find the treasury left by the previous generation Law-Extinguishers.

There are quite a few Law-Extinguishing treasuries in this world, but these are all personal assets of the Law-Extinguishers. The truly amazing resource wealth is in the faction treasury of the Law-Extinguishing faction.

There is only one faction treasury, but the problem is, it is unknown whether it has been discovered by world-destroying existences.

Su Xiao took out the map given by Thorns. Using this map as a reference, he soon found that this treasury map in his hand was located in the area where the Eroding Rain Land was. This should not be a coincidence; it is because the Dark Lady knew that the last Watcher's Gao Ta was in the depths of the Eroding Rain Land.

"Lord Law-Extinguisher, the Lightless Temple is already looking for the location of the Monarch's Treasure. It is necessary for you to find this treasure before them. In this treasure, there is a method to open the Eternal Light seal, but this is not as important as opening the 'World-Tier Technique'."

The information provided by the Dark Lady is quite important, but Su Xiao had already learned about this through the 'good teammates' before.

"I know about this. Judging by the current situation, we have no advantage in this matter."

"There is, Lord Law-Extinguisher."

While speaking, the Dark Lady placed a simple and heavy key on the stone table. Su Xiao picked it up and checked its attributes. This was clearly the key to open the Monarch's Treasure. Without this thing, don't even think about entering the Monarch's Underground Palace. According to Zuiyas, the entrance to the Monarch's Underground Palace and the Monarch's Underground Palace are not in the same space. The Underground Palace is located in an independently existing space.

Because the Eternal Light World has an overall spatial blockade, such independently existing small and medium-sized spaces are particularly difficult to explore, or rather, there is basically no way to explore them. Even if a spatial expert comes, it is useless. Therefore, the way to find the Monarch's Treasure is only to find the entrance and then use this key to open the sealed spatial door to enter the Monarch's Underground Palace.

Looking at the key in his hand, Su Xiao's subsequent plan began to become clear. He took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja, left the Gray Sanctuary with the Eternal Light Watcher ring, and then headed straight for the Shelter City.

After arriving in the area near the Shelter City, Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja wait in a valley. He used the 【Violator】 title to disguise himself, chose the appearance of a violator at random, and walked toward the Shelter City.

The guards at the entrance still had cold eyes, the same as when he came last time. Without any inspection, they let Su Xiao enter. Thinking about it, this Shelter City is not a safe area at all.

Going deep into the lower city area, after wandering around in the dirty and winding alleys, Su Xiao stopped in front of a two-story small building and pushed the door to enter.

Beside the small round table, Zuiyas and Wood had already sat down. The light shining down from above flickered, and Su Xiao also sat down.

"Bai Ye, what good news do you have?"

Zuiyas spoke. He and Wood came here in a hurry precisely because Su Xiao said in the team channel that there was good news to discuss in person.

At present, the cooperation of the 'good teammates' has officially begun. After having a common goal, they can start to appropriately trick each other. Regarding this point, whether it is Su Xiao, Zuiyas, or Wood, they all default to it. Among them, Wood tricks Su Xiao and Zuiyas the most.

"I found the location of the Monarch's Underground Palace key."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Zuiyas and Wood both gained some spirit. Wood asked: "Where is the key?"

"In the Eroding Rain Land, in the Watcher's Gao Ta. Let's go find it together."

Su Xiao gave an exceptionally clear answer. As for whether this is tricking the 'good teammates'? It cannot be completely considered tricking. The key is on him. Once he arrives at the Watcher's Gao Ta in the Eroding Rain Land, his information will be true.

After hearing this news, Zuiyas and Wood both seemed quite happy, but in fact, they were secretly guessing in their hearts because they both suspected that the key was on Su Xiao at this moment.

"Oh, by the way, there are quite a few soul crystal cores stored in that Watcher's Gao Ta."

Su Xiao spoke again. He did not trick them at all with this information.

"How many?"

Zuiyas was already moved, and Wood was the same.

"Not many, thousands. If you feel it's dangerous, we can actually go to that high tower later..."

Su Xiao's words were only half spoken when Zuiyas interrupted firmly: "No, we must go! That key is crucial to us. Let's set off now!"
