Chapter 3757: Bait

Shelter City · Top City, the fifth floor of the Supreme Temple.

The atmosphere that was just relaxed suddenly became tense, and the air was almost about to solidify. The Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Ancestor, and the Star Devourer all stared at the Abyss Archbishop.

If the Four Giants present were all poisoned, these four would definitely guard against the surprise attacker who might appear. The problem was that the four of them swallowed primordial life force together, and only the Abyss Archbishop was fine.

"This must be the poison cast by that Law-Breaker."

The Lord of Eternal Darkness spoke. At this moment, pale golden mist was drifting from its body, and its aura was very unstable. Although this fierce poison could not poison it to death, it also made it feel uncomfortable. Only by continuously suppressing this fierce poison could it be prevented from erupting completely.

Hearing the Lord of Eternal Darkness's words, the Abyss Archbishop's face looked better. Among several collaborators, there was still one with both high strength and wisdom.

"The Archbishop is not poisoned by this strange poison, which is likely because of his Abyss power. At such a time, we should instead trust the Archbishop more, not be broken one by one by that Law-Breaker. As long as we can escape this prison, any one of us will not fear the Shadow of the Law who is the only one left."

The Lord of Eternal Darkness spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, the Abyss Archbishop's mood was very comfortable. Having an old and cunning collaborator was really too important at such a critical moment.

The Star Devourer, whose aura was becoming more violent due to the fierce poison, gradually calmed the killing intent in its heart, and the star patterns on its horns subsequently faded.

The Ancestor, who had been silent all along, half-opened its eyes, and the dark gold bandages wrapped around its body became loose, as if it were ready to reveal its true face at any time.

After the words of the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the tense atmosphere in the temple calmed down. The Star Devourer, who had the most violent temper, sat down and began to suppress the fierce poison in its body with star power.

Before long, the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Ancestor, and the Star Devourer all discovered one point: the fierce poison they were poisoned with was more violent than just now, and it seemed that there was some incentive that was causing this fierce poison to be catalyzed and enhanced.

The Lord of Eternal Darkness, whose perception was the most powerful, discovered that it was the elemental power around them that was gradually enhancing this fierce poison, and the enhancement efficiency was extremely exaggerated. It felt as if all the natural elemental energy in this large area was gathering here, and then began to target the three of them, continuously enhancing the fierce poison they were poisoned with.

This fierce poison would be enhanced by natural elements. The Lord of Eternal Darkness was not too surprised, because a fierce poison that could be effective against world-ending existences was already unheard of, so this fierce poison having this effect would not make the Lord of Eternal Darkness very surprised.

But the problem was, no matter how powerful this fierce poison was, it was just a fierce poison. How could it gather natural elements? This didn't make sense.

After further perception, the Lord of Eternal Darkness discovered the clue: within a range of no more than 10 steps from it, there seemed to be a huge, vigorous existence that was absorbing the surrounding natural elements.

The actual situation was that after the Abyss Archbishop absorbed the "Life Crystal", his rising life force attracted wood-type and water-type natural elements. After these two types of natural elements became active, earth-type natural elements were also attracted.

Three types of natural elements gathered toward the surroundings, driving other natural elements, finally triggering the phenomenon of elemental gathering. This also caused the extreme elemental power in this large area to gather toward this side, which also caused the Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Ancestor, and the Star Devourer, who were poisoned, to have the fierce poison in their bodies violently enhanced.

Although the Lord of Eternal Darkness could not perceive the reason for the gathering of natural elements, it could be certain that it was because of the Abyss Archbishop that the natural elements were gathering toward the surroundings. More accurately, it was these elemental forces that were gathering toward the Abyss Archbishop.

As everyone knew, elements and the Abyss were two opposing and mutually restraining forces. Even if the two had fusion phenomena, it was shallow fusion. Thinking this way, the Abyss Archbishop was actually quietly gathering elemental power, which was really... too suspicious.

If this fierce poison was ineffective against the Abyss system, the Lord of Eternal Darkness could pinch his nose and believe this point in order not to fight among themselves. But now, the Abyss Archbishop was actually quietly enhancing this kind of fierce poison, which was unreasonable.

"Archbishop, what are you doing."

The Lord of Eternal Darkness was already very restrained. If it were the Star Devourer who discovered this point, a meteorite would have already been blasted toward the Abyss Archbishop.

"What?"

Although the Abyss Archbishop noticed that elemental power was gathering toward this side, he was not omniscient and didn't know that elemental power would enhance this fierce poison. Or rather, even with the Abyss Archbishop's experience, which was terrifyingly rich, there was no concept that elemental power would enhance fierce poison.

As soon as the Abyss Archbishop's words fell, he discovered that the Ancestor on the side was also looking at him with unkind eyes. This was clearly discovering the enhancement of the fierce poison by elemental power.

The Star Devourer didn't discover it; it just spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and its aura became more violent and cruel.

"Archbishop, you leave here, or we leave... no, there is no or, you, leave here now."

The Lord of Eternal Darkness spoke coldly, golden blood droplets flowing down the corner of his invisible mouth, and then dripping on the ground.

"Stop talking nonsense with him! Roar!!"

The Star Devourer had star patterns appearing on its body. After its height increased to more than eight meters, it stood up and punched toward the Abyss Archbishop. This punch blasted out, and a large area of space was blasted toward the Abyss Archbishop, with no possibility of dodging.

At this moment, in the lower city district, Yusha took several half-grown children, all wearing metal collars, and walked out of Shelter City from the city gate. This collar was a necessary process for commoners to leave Shelter City, and it was inlaid with Shelter Stone powder that slowly volatilized.

Although she knew that the risk of leaving the city was extremely high, under the exploitation of the gangs in Shelter City, Yusha had to choose to take the risk, otherwise there would be no rations for the next day.

When she was completely exposed to the daylight, Yusha took a deep breath. The paint on her face made it impossible to see her face, which had a wild beauty.

Boom!!

A loud noise came from the firmament, and Yusha was shaken until her whole body was numb, falling to the ground. She looked at the sky and saw the broken wall in the upper part of the Shelter Tree, the top city area, with darkness spreading out. In that darkness, there seemed to be something exceptionally terrifying.

"Roar!!"

A giant beast covered in star patterns grabbed the Shelter Tree, which was known as inviolable on weekdays, with its beast claws and hind limbs, causing the bark to crack and parts of the trunk to lift.

At a speed Yusha couldn't see clearly, the giant beast swept out and rushed into the darkness above. Subsequently, this area mixed with darkness and starlight moved toward the distance. The entire world seemed to be roaring, which was just a few seconds, and that darkness exceeded Yusha's field of vision.

A whistling sound of breaking through the air came from above, and meteorites fell one after another. Yusha, who had recovered, just prepared to escape to the entrance of Shelter City, when she thought of her several companions she brought out. She turned her head to look, and the scene in front of her came to an abrupt end. The last remaining vision could vaguely see the blue flames that emerged after the meteorites fell, hitting her face.

'Wake up.'

'Sea of Sand.'

'Deep inside.'

'Seal, cannot be opened yet.'

Blurred whispers came into Yusha's ears. While she took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly opened. Her eyes, which were completely occupied by scarlet, looked exceptionally soul-stirring, but this scarlet quickly retracted, and the Watcher Ring floating on her index finger also disappeared.

Due to the powerful impact, many cracks appeared on Yusha's body, but no blood flowed out. Along the cracks in the flesh, one could see the scarlet flickering inside. With the scarlet flickering, the cracks on Yusha's body healed rapidly, and she fainted completely.

A dozen meters away, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was watching this scene, and then Baja's voice came from the communicator in his ear:

"Xiang Bubu, I'm watching the Star Devourer side. You wait for the opportunity first, and set off to the Top City in ten minutes."

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, then stepped forward to carry Yusha on his back, fixed her with a magnetic device, and ran toward the entrance of Shelter City, which was in chaos.

On the guard tower on the south side of Shelter City.

Su Xiao was observing the situation in Shelter City through a viewing device. Among the Four Giants, the Star Devourer and the Abyss Archbishop had already clashed. Regarding this, he was not surprised, because the plan to make the enemy fight among themselves was aimed at the Star Devourer.

Su Xiao never thought from the beginning that he could calculate all the Four Giants, especially the Abyss Archbishop and the Lord of Eternal Darkness, who were old schemers. But he didn't need to calculate the Four Giants at the same time; he only needed to make one of them lose their head and take action, which was enough. As for who this choice was, it must be the Star Devourer.

The current situation was that the Star Devourer was chasing the Abyss Archbishop, preparing to make the traitor pay the price, while the Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Ancestor also acquiesced to this result. The two of them were not thinking that the Abyss Archbishop was a traitor, but that continuing to stay with the Abyss Archbishop would make the fierce poison in their bodies more violent.

At this moment, only the Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Ancestor remained in the Top City. How to separate these two guys was the key. The Lord of Eternal Darkness was cautious, and the Ancestor was selfish. This information, known through the Grocery Brother, Thorns, naturally had to be utilized.

Su Xiao sat on the metal railing, looking at Shelter City from afar. This distance was just right. On the ground behind him, a "Law-Breaker teleportation array" was already in a semi-activated state.

South side of Shelter City, Desperate Swamp.

A black beam of light fell from the sky. As mud splashed, the Abyss Archbishop landed. Just after landing, darkness spread along the ground like a water curtain, turning the surrounding ten-plus kilometers into a dark zone controlled by him.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Meteorites fell one after another. Flying star fragments and black-blue flames spread. Subsequently, a figure like a giant beast with four arms crashed down, causing the blue flames around to dissipate.

The erosive sharp pain brought by the fierce poison made the Star Devourer irritable to the extreme. But just as it was about to rush toward the Abyss Archbishop, a figure wearing a black long dress and holding a sharp sword walked over. The other party walked on the darkness without being eroded.

It was the Dark Lady who came. Originally, the Four Giants of the Lightless Divine Sect were not afraid of the Dark Lady, but after the "Super-World-Level Sealing Spell" was activated, the Dark Lady became particularly dangerous.

Seeing the Dark Lady appear, the Abyss Archbishop knew that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to speak, the Star Devourer spoke first:

"I knew it, you Abyss scum had no good intentions. So, you colluded with the Watcher. Why, they promised to let you out, and as a price, you have to help them poison us to death."

After the Star Devourer finished speaking, a cruel arc appeared on the corner of its bloody mouth.

Hearing the Star Devourer's words, the Abyss Archbishop remained silent. He sincerely hoped that it was the Lord of Eternal Darkness here. If that were the case, he could join forces with the Lord of Eternal Darkness to get rid of the Dark Lady without being backlashed by the sealed item of the other party.

The Star Devourer's aura became more violent, but it was not stupid enough to pounce on the Abyss Archbishop, causing itself to face both the Abyss Archbishop and the Dark Lady at the same time. The series of events made it feel that there must be some conspiracy in this. Therefore, it decided to kill the Dark Lady first and see how the Abyss Archbishop reacted.

Noticing that the Star Devourer locked onto the Dark Lady, the Abyss Archbishop felt a little relieved. The Star Devourer still had some brains.

The situation at this moment was that as long as the Star Devourer pounced on the Dark Lady, the Abyss Archbishop, who had almost taken the blame, would definitely take the Dark Lady as the target at the first time. No matter what, killing this member of the Law-Breaker faction first was the most reliable.

Just as the three parties confronting each other were about to take action, Zayas walked through the mud and said with a smile: "Archbishop, you've worked hard. This is the reward promised to you."

After speaking, Zayas threw a 【Blade of Sealing】 toward the Abyss Archbishop. This 【Blade of Sealing】 was gathered by Su Xiao, with a durability of only 1 point, which meant it could be used once, and the spatial passage opened was not particularly stable. For a powerhouse of the Abyss Archbishop's level, it would be enough to pass through one, which would cause the opened spatial passage to break, but for any one of the Four Giants, this was already enough to leave this world.

The Abyss Archbishop didn't directly catch the 【Blade of Sealing】, but after perceiving this crystal short blade half-submerged in the mud, the Abyss Archbishop raised his hand, and the 【Blade of Sealing】 was already in his hand.

Feeling this key that could open the spatial seal of this world, the Abyss Archbishop's pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't dare to use too much force with the hand holding this item, worrying about crushing this crystal short blade.

This was the opportunity to get out of here. Having been imprisoned here for 50,000 years, the Abyss Archbishop's gaze no longer had the usual majesty or cunning, but was boiling with killing intent. No one could take this key away from him.

If it weren't for others being present, the Abyss Archbishop would even use this item immediately to leave this world.

The Star Devourer, who had been imprisoned in this prison for 90,000 years, stared straight at the 【Blade of Sealing】. It would never forget this thing, because it was banished to the Eternal Light World by a Shadow of the Law using this thing.

"Give it to me!"

Star light drifted from the Star Devourer. If it had some performance components just now, wanting to deliberately lure out the person who poisoned it from behind, then at this moment, the Star Devourer was serious. What Lightless Divine Sect, what Four Giants contract, compared to being able to leave this prison, all of those were not worth a damn.

The Abyss Archbishop put the 【Blade of Sealing】 into the darkness. He now clearly knew that this was the open conspiracy of that Law-Breaker. That Law-Breaker felt that the probability of killing him was not high, so he came up with this open conspiracy. And that fierce poison was more like a paving, a paving to make the cooperation of the Four Giants appear cracks. This 【Blade of Sealing】, which had been adjusted and could only be used by one person at most, was the bait he couldn't refuse, and the absolute kill that made the Four Giants of the Lightless Temple turn against each other.

"Devourer, this is that Law-Breaker's trap, don't be fooled."

The Abyss Archbishop spoke with a smile, and the darkness on his body became more intense.

"Well, of course I know this is a trap, but as long as I can leave this ghost place, nothing else matters. So give it to me, don't make me repeat it a second time. Facing the enemy head-on, you are stronger in the outside world, but in the Eternal Light World full of natural elements, you are not my opponent."

Star light floated around the Star Devourer, each one containing terrifying power.

Seeing this scene, the Dark Lady grasped the hilt of the sharp sword. The next second, Baja detached from the different space and whispered: "My aunt, run away quickly, why are you really going to fight."

"..."

The Dark Lady was silent for two seconds, turned and walked toward the distance, which made Baja breathe a sigh of relief. Turning to look at Zayas, he found that this scoundrel had long since disappeared without a trace, which made Baja enter the different space and disappear soon after.

When all the auras around disappeared, leaving only the Star Devourer and the Abyss Archbishop, the two sides confronted each other for a few seconds, and then rushed toward each other. For these two powerhouses, compared to being able to leave this prison, everything else was not worth mentioning.

Shelter City · Top City, inside the Supreme Temple.

The Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Ancestor had already temporarily suppressed the fierce poison they were poisoned with. The Ancestor among them said: "We performed so devotedly, but we didn't lure out that Law-Breaker."

The Ancestor didn't seem to worry that the Star Devourer and the Abyss Archbishop would really fight, as if all this was in the plan.

"This fierce poison, you miscalculated."

A ball of primordial life energy appeared in the hand of the Lord of Eternal Darkness. This one of the Four Giants didn't swallow a large amount of primordial life energy in the "Life Crystals", only swallowed less than one percent, so he was only slightly poisoned. With the powerful adaptability of world-ending existences, he was already fine at this time.

Actually, the Ancestor also vaguely guessed that those "Life Crystals" were wrong, but as a world-ending existence, it didn't care at all that someone did something to those "Life Crystals", which was why it was poisoned.

"It's not without gains. Later I will ask the people below where they found those "Life Crystals". Ancestor, you sacrifice some "Source Blood" to track that Law-Breaker."

"Impossible."

The Ancestor refused immediately, which made the Lord of Eternal Darkness silent. As if feeling that this refusal was slightly inappropriate, the Ancestor changed the subject and asked: "How did the Star Devourer go for so long? It's enough to mean it, there's no need to really fight with the Archbishop..."

The Ancestor's words had just reached this point when it suddenly felt that the world around it shook.

Boom!!

Dazzling star light exploded in the distance. Liquid-like light splashed up at a position more than a hundred kilometers away from Shelter City. Looking at this scene, the Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Ancestor looked at each other. The Star Devourer and the Abyss Archbishop were actually fighting for real. The Star Devourer even used star light, which clearly showed killing intent.

"Bad, this idiot Devourer."

The Ancestor was so angry that it was poisoned again. It made a move to get up, but its aura was unstable due to the poison.

"I'll go."

The Lord of Eternal Darkness flew up, looked at the Ancestor, and disappeared from the spot.

At first glance, it was the Lord of Eternal Darkness going to stop the clash between the Abyss Archbishop and the Star Devourer, leaving the poisoned Ancestor behind. In fact, this was another trap. The Lord of Eternal Darkness didn't leave too far, only waiting for the Law-Breaker Su Xiao to appear and kill the poisoned Ancestor, and the Lord of Eternal Darkness would immediately appear.

Compared to stopping the clash between the Abyss Archbishop and the Star Devourer, getting rid of the Law-Breaker was more important to the Lord of Eternal Darkness. It seemed that the Four Giants were calculated and dispersed, but wasn't this also a trap waiting for the Law-Breaker to come here?

At this time, the Ancestor was on the fifth floor of the Supreme Temple in the Top City, and the several tall buildings around the Top City were almost crowded with world-ending creatures and Abyss-corrupted beings of the Shelter City faction. These were the mortal enemies of the Law-Breaker, just waiting for the Law-Breaker to appear and surprise attack the Ancestor, who was poisoned and alone on the fifth floor.

Inside the fifth floor of the Supreme Temple, due to the hole blasted by the Star Devourer on the wall, the wind was whistling from high altitude. The Ancestor was calming its aura and suppressing the fierce poison in its body.

At this moment, on the guard tower in the distance, Su Xiao checked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's message. It had been confirmed that only the Ancestor was in the Supreme Temple of the Top City, and he was poisoned. It seemed to be an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack, but in fact, it was definitely a trap.

A blood aura phantom appeared behind Su Xiao. He clasped his hands together, and Green Steel Shadow energy gathered between his hands. As he stretched his hands to both sides, a crystal long spear was formed. To be safe, he plated a layer of blood aura on this crystal long spear, wrapping the crystal long spear with a blood spear shell.

Ka ka ka~

The blood aura phantom pulled the soul bow. Su Xiao was not a bow technique master, but he rarely missed. The reason was that the combination of blood aura phantom + soul bow + blood spear shot out a completely straight trajectory. As long as he aimed using Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's positioning and shot at a non-moving target, even long-distance shooting rarely missed.

After aiming for at least 10 seconds, Su Xiao manipulated the blood aura phantom to release the bowstring. With a muffled sound, the blood spear flew out through the air.

Inside the fifth floor of the Supreme Temple, the Ancestor, who was suppressing the fierce poison, had a faint smile on his face. The next instant, a blood spear flew in from the huge hole in the wall, heading straight for the Ancestor's head.

The Ancestor waved his hand casually, and only used the back of his hand to shatter the incoming blood spear. Even the dark gold bandages wrapped around his hand had no damage. The Ancestor could be certain that the Law-Breaker had taken the bait.

However, the Progenitor did not notice that the interception it had just performed with a casual wave only shattered the outer shell of the blood spear; the crystal spear inside was not shattered by it, but rather controlled by Su Xiao from afar to shatter just before the attack landed.

With a "pala" sound, the crystal long spear shattered, and the scattered crystal fragments formed a circular array in mid-air. This was clearly a "Law-Breaker teleportation array."

Even an old immortal like the Ancestor, who had lived for a hundred thousand years, was surprised in his heart by this unprecedented operation. A violent spatial suction force hit his face. The Ancestor didn't dare to take action to interrupt this teleportation, and was teleported away. It could only be said that the Ancestor's decision was correct; forcibly interrupting the "Law-Breaker teleportation array" was too terrifying.

At the same time, standing on the metal railing and releasing the blood aura phantom, Su Xiao fell backward. The "Law-Breaker teleportation array" behind him was activated, and the teleportation light enveloped him.

Boom!

The teleportation array started.

Scarlet Castle, fifth floor, in the hall where Su Xiao fought the City Lord's wife.

Two "Law-Breaker teleportation arrays" on the ground were activated at the same time. Su Xiao and the Ancestor appeared on a teleportation array respectively.

Just as Su Xiao appeared, Amu, who was waiting here, stood behind him, the Dragon Heart Axe hanging low, the axe blade sinking into the ground, and the cold air diffusing.

In the cold air, Su Xiao's eyes, with blue light in the center of the pupils, stared at the Ancestor opposite. The pressure at this moment made the Ancestor put away his contempt for the new generation Law-Breaker. The pressure coming toward his face was no weaker than the predecessor Law-Breaker of the same strength. No, it was even stronger. ===== CHAPTER 3758 =====
