Chapter 3749: Ultimate Soul Slash

Inside the City Lord's study, Su Xiao sat on a crystal chair, his gaze fixed on the password-protected cabinet door in front of him. He had been in a very good mood upon seeing two "Primordial Fragments" inside, but the subsequent soul container made the situation suddenly complicated to the extreme.

That familiar yet strange soul aura made Su Xiao think. It was familiar because it was homologous in terms of power systems, and strange because he had never seen this soul before. So, what could satisfy such a situation? The answer needed no further words: the remnant soul of a certain predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadow.

Although a remnant soul of a Law-Extinguishing Shadow could exist for a long time, it had not reached an exaggerated degree. That is to say, only the last few predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadows before the collapse of the Law-Extinguishing faction could possibly leave behind a remnant soul.

The predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadows known to Su Xiao were:

Marwen Waltz (the unscrupulous mentor).

Old Law-Extinguishing Shadow (the unscrupulous mentor's master).

Star-Swallowing Akas (the most reliable predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadow).

Ximan Achid (Shadow of the Abyss).

Green Gillian (the Law-Extinguishing Shadow with the worst personality in history).

……

Excluding Ximan Achid, Marwen Waltz, and the Old Law-Extinguishing Shadow, the remnant soul inside this soul container should be either Star-Swallowing Akas or Green Gillian.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao reopened the door of the password cabinet. If this were Akas's remnant soul, that would be great. In the future, if there were any parts of various abilities he didn't understand, he could ask this predecessor Law-Extinguishing Shadow. Sometimes it wasn't that the unscrupulous mentor and the Old Law-Extinguishing Shadow didn't want to teach, but when it came to teaching abilities, they were even more confused than Su Xiao, the learner.

A long time ago, Marwen Waltz tried to teach Su Xiao the "Undying Constitution" ability. Su Xiao listened intently for over an hour, and in the end, their expressions were respectively:

"What are you saying?"

"What am I saying?"

The Old Law-Extinguishing Shadow on the side grew anxious, then told Marwen Waltz to step aside, and he personally gave Su Xiao some guidance.

A moment later, let alone Su Xiao, even Marwen Waltz, who had already mastered this ability, was left confused. At that time, the expression was basically: "Is this ability really like this? Could it be that I mastered it wrong back then?"

It had even stumped Marwen Waltz, who had already mastered the ability, let alone Su Xiao, who hadn't.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment, took out the "Book of Original Sin," and flipped it to the fifth page. The painful mask of the Molten Gold Demon, looking like a photograph, came into view.

It seemed that the inside of the page could see the outside to a certain extent. The Molten Gold Demon's avatar gradually changed, from a painful mask to eyes streaming with hot tears. For some reason, combined with those golden bull horns, this expression gave people an inexplicable sense of humor.

Su Xiao held the open Book of Original Sin with his left hand, and his other hand faced downward, palm toward the fifth page of the Book of Original Sin. Accompanied by a dragging motion, the Molten Gold Demon inside the Book of Original Sin was extracted, but was immediately sealed inside a sealing ball.

Compared to the foul language when it was sealed before, this time the Molten Gold Demon was exceptionally quiet. Seeing this, Su Xiao threw the sealing ball into the box originally used to seal Original Sin items, then put the box away.

He put away the Book of Original Sin. Although the probability was not high, if the soul container really sealed Star-Swallowing Akas, it would be truly inappropriate to hold the Book of Original Sin upon first meeting this elder.

Su Xiao opened the door of the password cabinet, first putting away the 2 "Primordial Fragments" inside, as well as a small bottle of Space-Time Power, which looked to be about 80-plus ounces. In this way, only the soul container remained inside.

Picking up the soul container, Su Xiao tried to open it, but found that the seal on this thing was exceptionally tight. With his level of sealing knowledge, he couldn't reach this level of soul confinement. Trying to destroy it by force was clearly not feasible, and this soul container was definitely a supreme treasure.

After studying it for a moment, Su Xiao found that the patterns on the surface looked like the mark of a Law-Extinguishing Shadow. He gathered some Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy at his fingertips and touched it.

Click—

The multiple locking rings on the soul container rotated, then opened in response. The opening method of this unbreakable soul container was somewhat unexpected; it could be opened immediately just by touching it with Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. However, there should be other restrictions, which could be slowly studied in subsequent use.

As the soul container opened, some fluorescent blue soul mist surged out from inside. These soul mists gradually formed a graceful figure. Seeing this, Su Xiao felt disappointed in his heart; it was not Akas, the reliable mentor among the Law-Extinguishing Shadows.

The Law-Extinguishing remnant soul floating in front gradually stabilized. The short hair just reached the neck, and even as a soul body, the center of the pupils retained a blood-red color. There seemed to be a somewhat neurotic smile hidden there, as well as the earring on her right ear, which had manifested even after becoming a soul body.

"I am very happy to see such an excellent new generation of Law-Extinguishing Shadow. As a thank you for saving me, before my remnant soul dissipates, I will teach you all my skills. Are you from the Paradise faction? That's very good."

Green Gillian smiled, indicating that she was not a strict elder, but easygoing and easy to get along with. If one didn't know Green Gillian, one might be deceived by her supreme-level acting skills.

"……"

Su Xiao was expressionless. Seeing this, the Green Gillian opposite had an unchanging expression, but her inner thoughts were: 'This little brat is not easy to handle. I wonder if he has taken the blame for my past affairs.'

"Hmm, good vigilance..."

Before Green Gillian finished speaking, Su Xiao suddenly said, "Alice."

Su Xiao said a name, which made Green Gillian's eyes show "doubt."

"Anna."

Hearing the second name Su Xiao said, the corners of Green Gillian's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"Ursula."

"Hmm, what? We are meeting for the first time; guessing my name randomly is very impolite."

"Mage Sage Seraphia."

Hearing this name, Green Gillian's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, she decided to deny it to the end, even if the names of her four old lovers were all reported.

"It seems you have heard some rumors about me. Sigh—those are just slanders from those spellcasters. Although Seraphia and I are in opposing factions, we are friends, very... intimate close friends."

"……"

Su Xiao stopped reporting names and instead took out a notebook. This item was called 【Green Gillian's Notebook】.

"Tch—"

Green Gillian crossed her arms, her blood-red eyes gradually narrowing, while her face wore that unique, somewhat neurotic smile.

"I must have had my head squeezed by a door back then to have written this thing."

Green Gillian descended from her floating state. As she sat down, a crystal chair formed, and she happened to sit on it. Her entire soul body relaxed, she tilted her head back slightly and let out a breath, her face wearing an irrepressible smile.

"Finally... out, hahahahaha!"

If there were someone with insufficient courage, this wild laughter alone would be enough to make their soul fly away. Green Gillian's Soul-Severing Shadow, besides Soul Slash, also had a terrifying sense of domination over others' souls.

"It seems your style is different from Waltz's; you are more like that reliable and silent guy Akas. To be honest, I am very glad that the last Law-Extinguishing Shadow can be so reliable."

Green Gillian sized up Su Xiao. After her disguise was completely punctured, Green Gillian had revealed her true colors.

Seeing that Su Xiao's gaze opposite remained unkind, Green Gillian asked tentatively, "Could it be that Seraphia caused you trouble because of me?"

"No trouble."

"Haha, I said so, back then she and I were..."

"She directly brought other supreme powerhouses from the Arcane Eternal Star to hunt me down."

"Uh—"

The smile on Green Gillian's face stopped abruptly. She laughed sheepishly, then asked, "This matter is indeed my problem. Speaking of which, besides the Arcane Eternal Star side, have you encountered any other... trouble left behind by my personal charm?"

"Can't remember."

"Ahahaha, then it seems there isn't any. Young man, your memory needs improvement."

"Too many to remember."

"Uh—"

Green Gillian's smile stopped abruptly once again.

"Otherwise, you can beat me up to vent your anger..."

Before Green Gillian finished speaking, Su Xiao already had the momentum to stand up. Seeing this, Green Gillian immediately added:

"I know that with your reliable style, you definitely can't hit me, your senior. You can't bring yourself to do it; you are not that kind of person. Right, let's sit down and talk. Let me think, right! I hid over 500 soul stones in a Watcher Tower. By your Paradise standard, that's over 500 Soul Crystals. Haha! Although I have a bad reputation, how could I treat a junior badly? Do you have a map of this place? Take it out, and I'll mark it for you."

"……"

Su Xiao took out the Watcher map. After Green Gillian took it, the more she looked, the deeper her brows furrowed. She pointed her finger at a dark erosion zone and said, "I say there used to be a Watcher Tower here; do you believe me?"

"……"

Su Xiao didn't speak. Green Gillian stared at the map for a long time, and finally, after confirming that the Watcher Tower had been razed to the ground, she spat out fragrant words in a low voice.

"We are all Soul-Severing Shadows; I have developed quite a few soul cores. So, when are you going to put away that broken book? Seeing that thing makes me feel a bit creepy. Do Law-Extinguishing Shadows now collect Original Sin items? I..."

Green Gillian said to the end, sizing up Su Xiao, and muttered, "If you were from my era, I could brag to my friends about you collecting Original Sin items."

Hearing this, Su Xiao felt suspicious and asked, "Don't Law-Extinguishing Shadows often encounter Original Sin items?"

"Who said that? Waltz?"

"Yes."

"Don't listen to his bragging. He tried to use the Nether Bone Ring back then and almost died. He still brags to you; the dog thief is still as shameless as ever."

Green Gillian laughed herself at the end.

"Marwen Waltz and the Old Law-Extinguishing Shadow's remnant souls are still there."

"Re... ally? I said so, how could these two Demon-Devouring Shadows dissipate easily."

While speaking, the smile on Green Gillian's face gradually deepened. Unlike her usual neurotic smile, this time she was truly laughing.

"Ximan Achid lived until recently and died in a confrontation with me."

"Hmm??"

Green Gillian was stunned. She raised her hand to scratch her head, and with a mismatched-eye expression, asked, "You defeated Ximan Achid? Oh! I know, you must have cultivated the Demon Spirit to be very strong. After that guy got old, his Demon Spirit must have been suppressed by your Demon Spirit. Not bad, kid."

"No, I couldn't release the Demon Spirit at that time."

"??"

Green Gillian was completely confused. A moment later, she nodded: "That guy Ximan has always valued his disciples. If he wanted to have a decisive battle with you, he wouldn't dare to take your life. You at least carried... four pieces?"

"Yes."

"You carried at least four Original Sin items. If Ximan killed you, none of his disciples would have a good death. But don't blame this traitor; he... also had no choice. Besides, he didn't betray the Law-Extinguishing faction."

Speaking to this point, Green Gillian let out a long breath. She stared at Su Xiao, and finally, she sighed, sighing with emotion:

"Being able to see a Law-Extinguishing Shadow before dissipating can be considered a good ending. Hmm, that's right, my remnant soul has been trapped for too long; it will probably dissipate in a few days. You kid let me out; in the next few days, I will teach you everything I know. Don't look at me like this; I am very good at teaching people abilities. The Law-Extinguishing abilities of those big dogs were all taught by me. Hahaha, someone like me actually having this decision in the end is really... wonderful."

Green Gillian leaned back, tilted her head and closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and said seriously:

"Let's start. I don't have much time. Let's start with the soul core. How many soul cores have you mastered? I have a stunt; a Soul-Severing Shadow can expand up to 12 soul core slots. Imagine the strength of a Soul Slash Soul Core occupying 8 soul core slots. I once pierced through the Soul Elder's soul plating with one slash. Since then, he has had few moments of clarity and spends most of his time sleeping to heal his soul wounds."

Hearing this, Su Xiao remembered the Soul Elder sleeping on the top floor when he went to the Great Soul Library. He had wondered why the Soul Elder was always sleeping every time he went. Now it seemed that the soul wound from the confrontation with Green Gillian, the Soul-Severing Shadow, hadn't completely healed even now. It was evident how powerful a Soul Slash Soul Core occupying eight soul core slots was.

"Which soul core do you want to master first? Say something; I've been talking to myself for a long time, although I've been locked up for so many years and really want to talk to someone."

"……"

Su Xiao took out a photo and placed it on the table. Seeing Green Wei in the photo, Green Gillian gradually frowned.

"How strange, this is clearly the style I like, but I, it seems like I saw a relative? Strange, I shouldn't have any direct relatives. Too strange."

Hearing this, Su Xiao had some judgment on Green Gillian's perception ability. Even top Law-Extinguishing Shadows, even after becoming remnant souls, had such accurate sensing power.

"This is a Law-Extinguishing Shadow-like being cultivated by Seraphia using your cells."

"Oh?"

Green Gillian was shocked, with an expression of how she hadn't discovered Seraphia was so playful before.

"……"

Su Xiao looked at Green Gillian. Green Gillian smiled sheepishly and said, "You continue."

"If I'm not mistaken, Green Wei can accommodate your remnant soul with 100% compatibility. Once the remnant soul has such a suitable body, it will definitely be nourished. But you must remember one thing: you must not try to destroy or devour Green Wei's soul and consciousness. She is the owner of this body; you are just a tenant with 100% compatibility. If the owner of this body is gone, this body will also die, and you, as a tenant, will lose your place to live."

"Wait... wait a minute, I'm not very proficient in techniques. You put these techniques away and tell me again."

A moment later, the look in Green Gillian's eyes was different, because once Su Xiao's plan succeeded, she, as a remnant soul, would not only not dissipate but could gradually recover under the nourishment of a 100% compatible body.

Even if she were eventually discovered by the high-level spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star, as long as her remnant soul successfully escaped, her nourished remnant soul would definitely not exist for less time than the Old Law-Extinguishing Shadows.

"I am in the Eternal Light World, which is on the Arcane Eternal Star side. It's unlikely I can reach there in a few days in the form of a remnant soul."

"Theoretically speaking, as a remnant soul, you can go there in an instant."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Green Gillian pondered for a few seconds and said, "This matter is definitely not simple to do. If you are hostile to the Arcane Eternal Star and let me go to harm them, that makes sense, but I gain huge benefits from it. I am a person who doesn't feel at ease if I don't give something back after gaining benefits."

Speaking of this, Green Gillian paused and added, "Teaching abilities regarding soul cores cannot be considered a reward; that's what I promised just now. Let me think... Walpol of the Demon race, is he still alive?"

"Alive."

"That's good. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, as long as I don't dissipate, I owe you... 100 soul stones, which is 100 Soul Crystals by your Paradise standard. Promising more is just bragging. I've been dead for so long; this is the limit. Don't think it's too little; it's also compensation for the things I implicated you in."

"As you wish."

Su Xiao hadn't cooperated with Green Gillian before and didn't know how the Law-Extinguishing Shadow's credibility was. But one thing was certain: as long as Green Gillian made the Arcane Eternal Star wear a painful mask, helping the other party reach Green Wei and letting both exist in one body was still doable.

Although Green Gillian's remnant soul was about to dissipate, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. By then, she would definitely suppress Green Wei's soul. Even Green Wei might not notice her existence. When Green Gillian appeared, Green Wei's feeling would be like falling asleep.

Su Xiao opened the soul container again. Although Green Gillian was full of reluctance, she had no choice but to enter it.

"Don't close it; I've been locked here, almost locked out of..."

Before Green Gillian finished speaking, Su Xiao had already closed the soul container. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had been soft-spoken and promised various things as soon as she came out, and was indeed willing to teach him various soul cores, he would definitely have sealed the other party in the Book of Original Sin for a period of time.

Leaving the City Lord's study, Su Xiao came to a lift, started the lift that went straight to the first floor, then wandered around, pushed open a door that was covered in scarlet on the outside but could be easily opened from the inside, and then left the Scarlet Castle from the inner door on the first floor.

The further he went, the thinner the surrounding darkness became. In the end, the unique smell of the wet salt flats appeared, and Su Xiao successfully walked out of the range of the Dark Ancient Castle.

He opened the squad channel and learned after contacting them that Zuiyas, Wood, and the Dark Eater had not reached the Scarlet Castle through the underground labyrinth. They had discovered a route deeper underground, which was a dark zone with many dark creatures.

Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar retreat the same way. The risks in the underground here seemed no lower than exploring the Scarlet Castle. Zuiyas, Wood, and the Dark Eater were prepared to continue exploring, but Su Xiao was not prepared to join them. He had to return to the Gray Sanctuary first; there were some things he had to deal with first.

When Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar walked out of the black mist, Su Xiao found Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes filled with tears. It seemed it had seen quite a few ghosts. Judging from the butt that had been hit by a soul arrow, it should have been chased and killed the whole way.

After moving away from the black mist area, Su Xiao activated the Watcher Ring, and space mist surged. When everything calmed down, he returned to the Gray Sanctuary. The sound of the Molten Giant forging items, plus the environment here, made people feel very safe.

"Woof."

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang asked Su Xiao to help pull out the soul arrow, it ran to the recovery point, lay on the stone platform, and prepared to sleep to soothe its heart that had suffered multiple critical hits today. Xiang Bubu was also unlucky, encountering a ghost that was both fierce and liked to play with its enemies.

Arriving at the workshop, Su Xiao just entered when the Molten Giant stopped forging, picked up the Night of the Wild Hunt in the wooden box, and said, "It will take a while to succeed, but just wait for now, so you can take it."

"Reward."

"A friend's commission, no reward."

"……"

Su Xiao took out a large barrel of elemental brew. The nearly two-meter-tall barrel was like a large wine bottle in the Molten Giant's hand. He opened the seal and took a few large gulps, a simple and honest smile appearing on his face full of messy whiskers.

After getting to know the grocery guy Thorns and the Molten Giant, the stock of elemental brew began to run low. However, a new batch of elemental brew was already being brewed in the exclusive room. By the time he went back this time, it would basically be brewed.

Now that his strength had stabilized, Su Xiao was prepared to use all 4 Primordial Skill Points. Not only that, the Demon Spirit energy in the fake Law-Extinguishing Blade could also be devoured by the Blade Demon Spirit. After he was promoted to a supreme powerhouse, it was no problem for him to control a Blade Demon Spirit with a Demon Spirit intensity below 300 points.

However, before doing all this, he had to complete the plan with Green Gillian. Meeting Green Gillian this time was a rare stroke of luck. The reason for saying this was that after Su Xiao was promoted to a supreme powerhouse, the intensity of the hunt from the Arcane Eternal Star side would undergo a qualitative change.

When Su Xiao was at the ninth tier, even if the Arcane Eternal Star hunted him, they could only send ninth-tier combat power to kill him. But after he was promoted to a supreme powerhouse, the power ceiling of the worlds he entered could reach the highest supreme level, which also led to the people coming to kill him likely being supreme-level + several supreme powerhouses.

Su Xiao could be certain that if he faced Lord Soul now, there would be no accidents; he would definitely die. Lord Soul was of the soul system and was not very restrained by Law-Extinguishing abilities. Su Xiao's soul intensity of over 800 points really couldn't compare to Lord Soul's soul intensity of over a thousand points.

Encountering Green Gillian now provided a turning point. Imagine how terrifying Green Gillian, who could perfectly disguise herself as Green Wei, was to the Arcane Eternal Star.

The greater the pressure Green Gillian gave to the Arcane Eternal Star, the less pressure Su Xiao would bear. This was also why he was willing to build the formation to help Green Gillian complete this matter. No matter how you looked at it, this was a win-win.

Not to mention, Green Gillian had a bad personality, but judging from her promises, she was indeed a person who knew how to repay kindness. This might be a very rare shining point in Green Gillian's personality.

Su Xiao opened the soul container. As soon as it opened, Green Gillian floated out from inside. Her gaze scanned the surroundings, and then she focused her sight on the Dark Lady, her gaze gradually changing from smiling to wary.

Was the Dark Lady the hidden ultimate boss? Not really. The reason Green Gillian was like this had to be traced back to the previous generation of the Dark Lady. That was the strongest Dark Lady in history, bar none. That's right, Green Gillian went to tease her, and then, caught off guard, was beaten by the Dark Lady and lay in bed recovering for more than two months.

At this moment, as soon as Green Gillian saw the Dark Lady's black dress, her whole body seemed to ache a little. That time she was really beaten miserably. She turned her gaze and looked at the Old Tree race.

"Hey! Look who's here. You've become so old; your crown used to be emerald green. Hmm? Are you asleep?"

Green Gillian's footsteps paused, and in the end, she didn't go up to disturb her. Although a long time ago, she and the Old Tree race had a disagreement, and she beat the other party until green juice came out, but seeing an old friend at this time, she still felt some emotion in her heart.

Su Xiao began to set up the formation. The reason he could be sure he could teleport Green Gillian to Green Wei was that he had a sample of Green Wei's blood. This was originally prepared to calculate Seraphia through Green Wei; he didn't expect it to have such a key use now.

Another point was that as a Law-Extinguishing Shadow, even if Green Gillian became a remnant soul, she would be more relaxed when breaking through the Eternal Light World's ban.

A few hours later, Su Xiao had set up the formation. He had been to the Arcane Eternal Star and had a very accurate grasp of the coordinates there. After doing all this, he took out a bottle of soul potion and threw it to Green Gillian.

"This is?"

"To help you stabilize your soul body. This teleportation distance is long, the precision is high, plus the teleportation formation I improved, the power..., the effect is quite strong."

"Tch—just a teleportation formation. I used the oldest version of the Demon teleportation formation before. Wait! Your formation..."

Before Green Gillian finished speaking, Su Xiao activated the teleportation formation.

Boom!!

At this moment, Green Gillian's eyes were filled with light.

……

Arcane Eternal Star.

The morning sky was clear, and the Arcane Eternal Star's space confinement was activated, but it stopped after a brief activation. Regarding this, the space-type spellcasters were already used to it. Enemy forces often tried to break through the Arcane Eternal Star's space defense.

However, the spellcasters who set up these space defenses back then didn't expect that someone would use such powerful teleportation power to teleport a soul body here.

At this moment, Silver Moon Lake Lakeside Dormitory.

The morning sun shone in through the gaps in the curtains. Green Wei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly got up and fell from the bed. She supported the wooden table with one hand and dry-heaved for a moment before she calmed down. In the end, she leaned back on the chair in front of the desk.

Two souls were in this body at the same time, but because of the later soul, the original soul of this body fell into a short sleep. This sleep was very stable. Thinking about it, after waking up, it would be difficult to discover that there was an extra soul in the body. After all, the two were 100% homologous.

Green Wei sitting in front of the desk, no, it should be Green Gillian, had her left elbow on the desk, her hand covering the upper half of her cheek, while a smile gradually appeared on the lower half of her face that was exposed, and this smile became increasingly intense, even to the point of becoming perverted. ===== CHAPTER 3750 =====
