Chapter 3745: Secret

~26 min read 5,010 words

With the hint of the "Super-World Level Sealing Technique" opening, in the Gray Dark Sanctuary, Su Xiao faintly felt a fluctuation coming from afar. Even though the Gray Dark Sanctuary was in an independent space, it still could not escape the range of that fluctuation.

Hum~

After a brief humming sensation, Su Xiao felt a fluctuation sweep across him. This was the effect of the "Super-World Level Sealing Technique". However, he was not a Supreme Tier above the Absolute Tier, so he didn't feel much about this seal.

【Announcement (Void Tree): The combat power limit of this world has been sealed to the Absolute Tier, lasting for a total of 0 natural days.】

After this hint appeared, Su Xiao opened the World Contact Platform. When he first entered this world, the World Contact Platform was extremely lively, and it only calmed down in the last two days. At this time, once this announcement came out, the contact platform became lively again, all spitting out fragrant words, asking who opened this seal.

After this seal was opened, did the danger level of the Eternal Light World become lower? Not at all. In this world, besides the four giants of the Lightless Temple and the mechanical creator of Iron Black City, there were Supreme Tiers that were far weaker than them.

This type of Supreme Tier, although not many, had at least ten, either Abyss creatures or World-Extinguishing existences. Of course, there were also powerful people in this world produced due to the extreme elemental environment of this world.

Before the "Super-World Level Sealing Technique" was opened, these Supreme Tiers, unless they fought each other, nothing could threaten them. Now that the "Super-World Level Sealing Technique" was opened, the combat power they could reach was sealed to the Absolute Tier, which meant that the enemies that could threaten them suddenly increased sharply.

Under such circumstances, whether it was the four giants of the Lightless Temple or those Supreme Tiers weaker than them, their killing intent would be exceptionally strong, causing the danger level of this world to soar by a large margin compared to before.

From the number of Supreme Tiers, one could see the terrifying degree of the Eternal Light World. The Feng Hai Continent produced a Supreme Tier, Spider Lady, which had been the pride of that world for many years. In contrast, the Eternal Light World had Absolute Tiers as common as dogs, and more than ten Supreme Tiers. As for the top of the Ninth Tier, here it was just an elite monster, the kind of very ordinary elite monster.

It was precisely because of this that Su Xiao put so much energy into developing the Zerg before entering the Eternal Light World. But plans never kept up with changes. The Monarch's Treasure appeared during this period, which made the eyes of the Lightless Temple stare fixedly at this aspect.

If Su Xiao still followed the original plan and developed the Zerg after entering this world, it would not only bury this advantage but also increase the danger of exposure.

However, developing the Zerg in this world was still very necessary. Not to mention anything else, there were two old friends that even the current Su Xiao could not deal with, which were the World-Borer and the Star-Parasite Crab. This kind of group could only be dealt with by developing the Zerg.

Especially the World-Borer, the splitting speed of this thing was simply unsolvable. Initially, Su Xiao summoned the World-Borer with a title ability. That was just a silver-gray metal flying insect, and that was also the best opportunity to eliminate the World-Borer.

After the World-Borer was summoned, the first thing it did was to absorb soil and rock, the most common things on this planet, and then split with the energy converted from these inorganic substances. Then one split into two, two split into four, and in the end, it was endless.

Wherever the World-Borer passed, let alone rock and soil, even space was riddled with holes by the World-Borer. What was even more terrifying was that the current World-Borer had no main body, and any of its individuals could be considered the main body.

This also meant that even if one World-Borer was not eliminated, it wouldn't be long before the World-Borer group would reappear. As a Sword Technique Master, Su Xiao, even if he ascended to the Absolute Tier, was not good at dealing with this kind of enemy.

At the moment, he was not in a hurry to develop the Zerg. There were too few places to develop the Zerg in the Eternal Light World. He had to wait until he found the Silver Queen to find a development area for the Zerg. Perhaps the Silver Queen never dreamed that one of Su Xiao's purposes for banishing her to the Eternal Light World was to let her help Zhila find an area where the Zerg could develop first.

Only the Zerg understood the Zerg better. If the Silver Queen found a place where development was very comfortable, Zhila would definitely like it very much.

In fact, Su Xiao's original idea was that if the Silver Queen had an intention to cooperate, he could of course accept it. The problem was that the other party had clearly reached the level of recovery but had been hiding her aura, hiding in the Origin Stone · Silver Queen. This was clearly waiting for an opportunity to break the seal, take Su Xiao as the first prey, and then use the resources obtained from Su Xiao to quickly recover herself, thereby developing the Zerg Nest.

Facing such a situation, of course, it was to banish the Silver Queen to the Eternal Light World. It was just that he didn't know which area the other party chose as the lair for development.

This matter was not urgent for the time being. Su Xiao had already let the irritable little elf, Diagu, go to find the traces of the Silver Queen.

As long as he found her and found a way to capture the Silver Queen alive, Zhila could quietly replace the Silver Queen, re-establish the Zerg Nest characteristics, and develop quietly, avoiding the attention of the Lightless Temple as much as possible. One point must be admitted: the Lightless Temple was the strongest force in this world, none other.

The four giants of the Lightless Temple were the leaders of this force, which was beyond doubt. Under such circumstances, the Lightless Temple was destined to be able to win over some World-Extinguishing creatures or Abyss-nourished creatures. The reason was that joining the subordinates of the Abyss Archbishop, Eternal Dark Lord, Progenitor, and Star-Boundary Swallower would not make other World-Extinguishing creatures and Abyss-nourished creatures feel that they had lost face.

Dealing with the four giants of the Lightless Temple, for Su Xiao, was not only because he had to complete the first stage of the talent awakening mission, or rather, this talent awakening mission coincided with Su Xiao's original purpose.

First of all, there was something in the Monarch's Treasure called 【Moonlight】. The so-called 【Moonlight】 was actually the key to the Eternal Light World used by the Moon Wolves.

The Lightless Temple side had already learned of this matter, so the four leaders of the Lightless Temple ordered to find 【Moonlight】 at all costs.

If the four giants of the Lightless Temple obtained 【Moonlight】, would the four giants who had regained their freedom forget the things they had been imprisoned for, the longest for tens of thousands of years, and the shortest for thousands of years?

Even if they suddenly changed their nature and became broad-minded, they would also consider another question: would the only Law-Destroyer become stronger and stronger? When the other party ascended to the Supreme Tier, would he, like the previous generation of Law-Destroyers, be unable to look at them swallowing the creatures of all worlds, and then lock them into the Eternal Light World again?

This destined one point: as long as the four giants of the Lightless Temple left the Eternal Light World, after they regained their respective immortality abilities, they would inevitably join forces again until they killed Su Xiao, the last Law-Destroyer.

Therefore, Su Xiao must not seek stability at the current stage, but must eliminate the four giants of the Lightless Temple as much as possible. The four giants had been imprisoned for so many years, and the immortality abilities of two of the World-Extinguishing existences had been exhausted and could not be restored for the time being. The situation of the remaining two was unknown, so this opportunity must be grasped.

Having said that, with Su Xiao's current strength, going to find any one of the four giants of the Lightless Temple was just sending himself to death. No matter what, he had just ascended to the Absolute Tier, even if he used a piece of 【Original Fragment】 to stabilize his strength, he still needed to fight a few battles.

The Extremely Dark Castle in the Wet Salt Area was a very good choice. It was challenging enough and could obtain Precipitated Glaze. After ascending to the Absolute Tier, Su Xiao was prepared to save up more than 4000 Precipitated Glaze and then exchange for a 【Source Fruit】 in the Abyss Store.

【Source Fruit】

Category:???

Inventory quantity:??? (Hunter's credibility is too low, unable to view).

Exchange price: 4608 Precipitated Glaze (original price 7680 Precipitated Glaze).

This thing was a resource that one was qualified to use only after ascending to the Absolute Tier. Before the physique was strong enough to the Absolute Tier level, those who dared to use it would surely die. It was not that this thing had side effects, but its efficacy was too fierce, and if the physique was not strong enough, it was difficult to withstand.

【Source Fruit】 did not increase strength. Its role was to stabilize the current foundation. A simple metaphor is: assuming the foundation of one's own combat power was rock, then the role of 【Source Fruit】 was to turn this foundation from rock into indestructible metal.

Only in this way could one carry the strength brought by high-tier abilities, and whether one was qualified to move towards the Supreme Tier level largely depended on whether one's own foundation was solid.

Assuming that the Ninth Tier was a mansion, then the Absolute Tier was a palace, and the Supreme Tier was a magnificent building standing between heaven and earth. The foundation that could carry the Absolute Tier would be crushed by the Supreme Tier in an instant.

Why were there so few Supreme Tiers? The reason was that a large part of the Absolute Tiers did not dare to take that step. Once they chose to take this step, either they withstood the Supreme Power and ascended to the Supreme Tier, or they died and their souls were extinguished, crushed by the Supreme Power until not even ash remained.

Not to mention the Supreme Tier level, to what extent one could reach in the Absolute Tier level was also directly related to one's own foundation.

The difficulty of obtaining 【Source Fruit】 was already very high. After obtaining it, one had to find a potion master to formulate it into a potion. If eaten directly, the effect would be less than one in ten. Regarding this point, Su Xiao didn't need to find others. He himself was a potion master. If he was in the mood, he might be able to formulate a "Miracle" grade source potion, which would be extraordinary.

Su Xiao felt that his state had been adjusted almost enough. Just as he was about to leave the Gray Dark Sanctuary with the Watcher's Ring, he received a hint from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Detected that the Hunter has ascended to the Absolute Tier, and a current health judgment settlement is about to be carried out. Because you have ascended to the Absolute Tier, the enhancement range of some of your abilities and equipment that increase health by percentage will change.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao began to stabilize his aura to make the check complete faster. He actually also wanted to know how much his health could reach after ascending to the Absolute Tier without the 1 million health upper limit restraint.

However, he felt that it should be lower than expected. Because he ascended to the Absolute Tier, some equipment that could originally reach 50% health bonus might now be reduced to 45% or even lower, which would lead to the previously estimated values no longer being accurate.

【Because health is a special attribute, it will not be semi-digitized into an absolutely precise value.】

【Your current health upper limit is 1.1 million points.】

Getting this result, Su Xiao was in a good mood. He didn't know what level 1.1 million health was at the Absolute Tier, but it shouldn't be in the fragile category. No matter how you looked at it, it was considered a melee type with medium survivability.

If a group of veteran Absolute Tiers knew Su Xiao's measurement standard, everyone would definitely be speechless.

Po~

Space fluctuations spread. Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha out of the Gray Dark Sanctuary. Amu was still sleeping soundly because of the large increase in physical attributes. It was estimated that it wouldn't be able to wake up for the next few days. Later, when fighting a few ultimate bosses, Amu would surely have a brilliant performance.

The benefit of the Watcher's Ring is that as long as you are not in a space seal or a very special area, such as the deep part of the Extremely Dark Castle, you can use this ring to return to the Gray Dark Sanctuary at any time. In contrast, wherever you came back from last time, you will definitely be there when you go out this time.

Inside the tunnel entrance of the train station, poisonous purple rain was falling outside, and a fishy sweet smell diffused. Su Xiao did not enter the Corroding Rain Area. He went down along the tunnel entrance and came to Platform 15.

After arriving at the underground platform, Su Xiao put an Iron Black Coin into the pillar-like machine. After a clattering sound of gears inside, everything became quiet. A few minutes later, the roaring sound of the train came from the other side of the tunnel.

Accompanied by the spray of steam, a single Angry Beast train stopped, and the train door of one carriage opened. After getting on the train, Su Xiao came to the coin slot, twisted the dial on it, and adjusted it to the platform symbolizing 0, which represented the terminal of Iron Black City.

The Angry Beast train charges Iron Black Coins according to the distance. For example, from near the Shelter City to the edge of the Corroding Rain Area, passing five stations in total, that is a fee of 50 Iron Black Coins. If you want to go to Iron Black City, this is the cheapest, no matter where you start, it is 5 Iron Black Coins.

It can be seen that this is the kindness of Iron Black City to the residents in this world. After putting in the Iron Black Coins, the train door closed, and then it started. Su Xiao began to close his eyes and take a nap.

Compared to the significant increase in strength this time, the two pieces of equipment completed with 【Miracle of God】 were not very conspicuous. Because they reached the limit after this enhancement, Su Xiao had used two Origin-grade 【Miracle of God】 on 【Berger's Heart】 and 【Killing Instinct】 in Reincarnation Paradise before. Until now, these two pieces of equipment had just completed the enhancement.

【Berger's Heart】

Quality: Origin-grade.

Category: Accessory · Pendant.

Equipment effect: Power of Adaptation (Core · Passive), during combat, will increase the wearer's abnormal status resistance by 110~10 points according to the enemy's ability characteristics (adaptive).

Rating: 850 points (Origin-grade equipment rating is 1500~000 points).

【Killing Instinct】

Quality: Origin-grade.

Category: Belt.

Equipment effect: Instinct Activation (Special Skill), after wearing this equipment, a willpower judgment will be carried out. If the judgment is successful, the "Instinct Activation (Passive)" effect will be activated. If the judgment fails, it will enter the Instinct Killing state (Active), the effect lasts for 10 hours. After the Instinct Killing (Active) state ends, it will be permanently unable to wear this equipment.

Instinct Activation (Passive): Significantly increase the growth speed of the wearer's perception-type abilities.

Hint: Detected that the fit between Instinct Activation (Passive) and Intuition ability reaches 95.8%, Intuition ability improvement speed increases by 10~95 times (95 times during combat, 56 times in dangerous environments, 10 times in safe environments).

Rating: 960 points (Origin-grade equipment rating is 1500~000 points).

These two pieces of equipment can still be used for a long time. As for why he didn't change them to Eternal-grade as soon as possible, this was a tricky problem. Mainly, he couldn't afford it. Just after upgrading all seven "Basic Passives" to X, and pushing the obtained Dominator's Power to almost full level, he couldn't resist the temptation of high-tier passives. 【Technique Sublimation · To Blade】 was really too hard to refuse.

Under such circumstances, it was too difficult to save money to change to a piece of Eternal-grade equipment. The price of Eternal-grade equipment was 100,000 to 500,000 Soul Coins. This was still uncrafted Eternal-grade equipment. That kind of weapon with a full rating of 6000 points, inlaid with Eternal-grade gems, and enhanced +10 or more, was expensive enough to be surprising.

The train stopped. After the train door opened automatically, a fragrance of food drifted over, and he could vaguely hear the noisy human voices. Walking off the train, what came into view was a fairly prosperous train station, and trains often entered the station.

Just after Su Xiao got off the train, a team of sharp-eyed patrol guards came up. Although they were fairly polite, their words were full of traps, trying their best to test Su Xiao's origin and the purpose of coming here. Only after confirming that Su Xiao was a traveler and had permission to enter Iron Black City did they let him pass.

This place was the exact opposite of the Shelter City. To enter Iron Black City, one had to pass through several levels of checkpoints. Conversely, to leave, one only needed to accept a simple inspection. Shelter City was another situation. It was easy to enter, but it was almost impossible to get out by conventional methods.

Walking into Iron Black City, as an underground city, there was no dark or damp feeling here. A faint light shone from the top of the city. Because it was tens of thousands of meters deep underground, the ground of Iron Black City was more than ten thousand meters high from the dome above, and there were even giant airship-like aircraft flying in the air.

The area of the entire Shelter City was very large. Comparing it with the Feng Hai Continent, it was about the size of a district of the Eternal Ring City. Don't think this is very small. The range of one district of the Eternal Ring City was several times larger than the area of some small and medium-sized kingdoms.

Walking on the street, there were many vendors on the side of the street, which showed that the public security here was still okay, at least it was a place constrained by law. Su Xiao's purpose in coming here was both to meet with 'good teammates' and to exchange some Iron Black Coins. Previously, Amu and the irritable little elf, Diagu, came here together, but only exchanged for more than a hundred Iron Black Coins, which was not enough for the subsequent Angry Beast train ride.

"Boss, this way."

Baha flew back. It had just inquired about the basic news here and learned that it was more profitable to exchange for Iron Black Coins at the exchange on the south side.

It happened to be on the way to meet with the 'good teammates'. Su Xiao walked towards the exchange. When he could already see the ten-story metal building of the exchange, he suddenly had an idea: would there be World-Extinguishing existences and Abyss-nourished creatures in Iron Black City? Thinking of this, he opened the "Hunting Vision".

The world in Su Xiao's eyes changed drastically. Everything lost its color, and only the pedestrians presented a light red representing the fire of life. This light red was very gentle, but between this gentleness, there were some black fine particles distributed, just like black sand and soil standing still in the air.

Su Xiao observed intently and confirmed that this was the residual aura of a World-Extinguishing creature. Although the other party didn't make a move and just passed through this place, it still left obvious traces.

Su Xiao's blood energy was completely restrained. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's silly happy gaze gradually disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes and blended into the environment. Baha invaded the space and turned into a magic eagle, gliding silently in the space cracks.

After opening the "Hunting Vision", Su Xiao discovered one point: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha, as his followers, also shared a part of this ability. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang began to be able to smell the aura of World-Extinguishing existences, Abyss-nourished creatures, and various evil spirits, and Baha could overlook the general direction of these things from the air.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha combination, once the "Hunting Vision" is opened, it is a tracking with no dead ends.

This meant one thing: as long as they were tracked by Su Xiao, whether it was a World-Extinguishing existence, an Abyss-nourished creature, or various evil spirits, they had nowhere to escape. No matter how terrifying these things were in normal times, they were all prey at this moment.

Tracking the residual aura of the World-Extinguishing creature, Su Xiao soon came to the Dark Zone. There were many scavengers and explorers in Iron Black City. Even if they used Shelter Stones, they were irradiated by daylight outside for a long time. After returning, they needed to recuperate in the Dark Zone for a long time to recover.

Finally, Su Xiao stopped in front of a two-story residential house. This was a private nursing home that charged fees to help explorers who were severely burned by daylight recuperate. From the introduction next to the door, it was operated by an old couple, and perhaps there were their children, which was a family business. Unfortunately, the aura of that World-Extinguishing creature reached this nursing home, representing that the other party was still here.

Under such circumstances, this family was nine times out of ten unfortunate. More than 90% of World-Extinguishing creatures would not have the slightest compassion for living beings, and more than half of them showed a happy reaction to the pain of living beings.

Su Xiao's "Hunting Vision" ability was further opened, from consuming 0 points of mana per second to consuming 50 points of mana per second, which made the walls of the house covered by black particles in front become transparent.

But after seeing the scene inside the building clearly, Su Xiao felt a bit surprised. The old couple of this nursing home, as well as their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in her early teens, were all safe and sound. And this granddaughter was with that World-Extinguishing creature, and the distance between the two was no more than half a meter.

Su Xiao raised his hand. Baha, who had sneaked into the space, flew over silently. The eagle claws probed towards the wall in front, and with space ability, made this wall transparent silently. Su Xiao walked directly through this illusory wall.

Completely restraining his aura, Su Xiao entered the building. He came to another wall, silently drew the long knife from his waist, and Baha still flew over silently. The eagle claws touched, and this wall also became illusory.

After Su Xiao passed through this wall, he entered the room where the little girl and the World-Extinguishing creature were. The scene that came into view made him surprised for a moment. At this time, on the floor of the room, the Dark-Eater was sitting with the little girl next to the castle of building blocks. The Dark-Eater's small face, full of cracks, was exceptionally serious, and he was holding a building block in his hand.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. It seemed that he finally discovered that a hunter had come here. The Dark-Eater's gaze suddenly became fierce. He turned his head to look at Su Xiao, was stunned for a moment, subconsciously hid the building block in his hand behind his back, but then thought of the powerful close-range perception of the Sword Technique Master, so he stuffed the building block directly into his mouth and chewed it with a clatter.

"This biscuit is quite delicious."

The Dark-Eater spoke. As a World-Extinguishing creature, even if he only ate dark spirits and had no interest in devouring living beings, but playing with building blocks so happily with a human little girl, even if the Dark-Eater died today, he would not admit it. If this spread to the ears of other World-Extinguishing creatures, the Dark-Eater just thinking about it felt shame rushing over.

"Let's go out and talk."

The Dark-Eater got up and walked out. The little girl who was still holding the building block asked: "Little brother, are you leaving?"

Hearing this, the Dark-Eater didn't speak, but his pace was faster. Seeing this scene, the little girl smiled until her eyes curved. From that look, one could see that this little girl was smarter than ordinary people. However, although she was smart, she was also a child.

A moment later, in a nearby alley, Su Xiao stood at the alley entrance, while the Dark-Eater was inside.

"Oh, so you ascended to the Absolute Tier, but you have to know, there are differences in strength among Absolute Tiers..."

Before the Dark-Eater finished speaking, Su Xiao had already started to release his aura. Sensing his aura, the Dark-Eater's eyes, which were black with white lines, were confused. He was very sure that more than ten hours ago, this Law-Destroyer was not an Absolute Tier, but at this time...

"Even if your strength is above mine, can you be sure that you can definitely kill me?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, and the long knife in his hand slanted towards the ground.

"I know the location of a treasure vault, but I can't open it even if I bombard it with all my strength. The secret pattern structure on it is very complex, but I can take you to try."

Hearing this, Su Xiao's pace into the alley paused. The probability of the Dark-Eater lying was not high. There were indeed many treasure vaults in the Eternal Light Continent. This place was too dangerous, so it was more stable to store materials in a treasure vault. Also because this world was too dangerous, it was common for some forces to be wiped out, leading to many treasure vaults being in an ownerless state.

After exchanging some Iron Black Coins with Soul Coins at the exchange, Su Xiao took the Angry Beast train to Platform 1. Two hours later, he arrived in a cave. A giant metal door blocked the way. On the door was a cumbersome secret pattern lock plate. From the degree of disorder of the lock plate, it could be seen that the Dark-Eater had already tested it, but the result was that it didn't open.

This time the Dark-Eater went to Iron Black City, both to meet the mechanical creator and to express to this big shot that although he was a World-Extinguishing creature, he didn't devour living beings and was prepared to stay in Iron Black City. After getting the permission of the mechanical creator, the Dark-Eater began to take the picture of the copied lock plate and look for someone in the city who could solve the puzzle.

As a result, a young little girl successfully solved 90% of this lock plate, and obviously could solve it completely. As a reward, the little girl asked the Dark-Eater to accompany her to play. Her grandparents and parents were usually very busy and didn't have time to accompany this top-notch little genius.

"So, this is the reason why you played more and more vigorously. Do you want to see how involved your expression was before?"

Baha had always been a master at picking at people's scars. Hearing his words, the shark teeth in the Dark-Eater's mouth clattered.

"The method to open the lock plate of this treasure vault, only I know now, so if you want to open the door, you can only..."

Before the Dark-Eater finished speaking, Su Xiao had already stepped forward a few steps and kicked directly.

Boom!!

When everything calmed down, the Dark-Eater looked at the hole in the door. Because the strength was well controlled, the metal around the hole was curled inward, and no metal fragments flew into the treasure vault.

The Dark-Eater's gaze became solemn, because he discovered that the Law-Destroyer opposite had already looked at him. It seemed that he could become the target of the next kick at any time.

"Okay, you can indeed kill me. I'll exchange it with a secret, and the previous grievances will be written off."

The Dark-Eater's eyes narrowed a bit, and the hatred in his eyes was already full, but this hatred would not be directed at Su Xiao.

"Speak."

"Guarantee in your own name that you are not lying to me."

"I guarantee in the name of the Law-Destroyer."

"Tsk."

"..."

Su Xiao pondered for a while and said: "Speak."

Having obtained this promise, the Dark-Eater said with full hatred: "The remnant soul of Green Gillian is somewhere in this world, I'm sure!" (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 3746 =====
