Chapter 3760: Title Synthesis

The Progenitor's aura dissipated completely. Seeing this, Su Xiao used his remaining strength to grab the two treasure chests floating in front of him, as well as a sphere made of golden particles, and stored them all in his storage space.

A sense of weakness struck. Su Xiao couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a *thud*. Fortunately, his HP was slowly recovering.

When his HP recovered to over 10%, Su Xiao finally regained some strength. He sat up. Only then did he have time to check the gains from killing the Progenitor, totaling as follows:

【You have killed the World-Destroying Existence · Progenitor.】

【You have obtained 10 Golden Skill Points.】

【You have obtained 9,950 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained Eternal-level Treasure Chest · Progenitor.】

【You have obtained Source Treasure Chest.】

【You have obtained Withered World Will.】

【You have obtained 526,000 World Reputation points.】

The rewards were very generous. Su Xiao checked the data of the 【Source Treasure Chest】 and found that the method of opening this thing was the same as a normal treasure chest. There were two types of gains, with a 30% chance to obtain one and a 70% chance to obtain another. Because there were many types of 【Source】, the specific gains depended on luck.

Although Su Xiao really wanted to obtain 【Source】, he had recently used two portions. Within this world progress, it was best not to use this thing again to avoid adapting to too much physical attribute improvement in a short time, causing his combat power to decline instead.

Therefore, the 【Source Treasure Chest】 would not be opened in a hurry. Even if what was opened was 【Source】, it had to be absorbed within the Reincarnation Paradise to avoid accidents during the absorption process.

He took the 【Withered World Will】 out of the storage space. This thing was like golden sand, forming a sphere the size of a fist. If he exerted force to squeeze it, the object would disperse, turning into loose golden light sand, and then gradually condense again.

This thing had two effects. One was to use it directly, which would increase the super-huge amount of Luck attribute within a world progress. Don't think it was an increase of dozens or hundreds of points, but at least six or seven hundred points or more. However, once he left the world, this effect would disappear.

There was another effect: when refining a title, this item could be added. But there was a warning on the item's attributes: if this item was added when refining a title, then when wearing this title later, once he encountered a World-Destroying existence or an Abyss growth, he would definitely be attacked by the other party.

Su Xiao didn't need to consider how to choose. Increasing the Luck attribute wasn't useless to him, but the effect wasn't very obvious. Reducing the improved value by one digit was roughly the actual bonus he could get.

Therefore, it was definitely to add this item when refining a title. As for the hostility of World-Destroying existences and Abyss growths, even without this effect, Su Xiao, as a Law-Breaker of Shadow, was naturally hostile to these two types of existences, and the hostility level would be maxed out on the spot upon meeting.

For the final 500,000+ reputation points, Su Xiao directly exchanged them for title treasure chests.

【You have exchanged for 526,000 title treasure chests.】

【Title Treasure Chest: After opening, you can obtain a title.】

【You have opened 526,000 title treasure chests.】

【You have obtained 526,000 1-star non-attribute titles.】

【Because you have opened treasure chests many times without obtaining tradable titles, and there is no possibility of selling such titles, your title opening results will no longer be announced on the World Contact Platform. If you need to make an announcement, you can adjust this permission yourself later.】

Su Xiao naturally wouldn't adjust this announcement permission. He put all the obtained titles into the title list and raised his hand to catch the Observer Ring handed over by Baha. Baha, as his follower, could naturally activate this ring, so Amu had already teleported back to the Dark Sanctuary.

Su Xiao activated the Observer Ring. When the surrounding space mist dispersed, he returned to the Dark Sanctuary. Neither the Dark Lady nor the Sundry Goods Brother, Thorns, were there; both were near the area where the Abyss Archbishop and the Astral Devourer were clashing.

Arriving at the treatment point, Su Xiao sat on the stone platform. The cool treatment energy made the pain in his body fade rapidly. The feeling of comfort throughout his body made him feel a bit drowsy.

When Su Xiao woke up, several hours had passed, and his HP had recovered to over 90%. However, due to the injuries on his body not being fully healed, even at the recovery point, it was difficult to fully recover his HP. But after drinking several types of recovery potions, his injuries began to gradually heal. This was the advantage of being a master of pharmacy; even if severely injured, he could quickly recover his combat power.

Opening the title list, there were already a large number of 1-star non-attribute titles inside, enough to synthesize 5 8-star non-attribute titles. Seeing this, Su Xiao activated the Void Tree's title refining disc and began to synthesize titles. Fortunately, synthesizing titles in this world didn't require payment; otherwise, the Soul Coins required for title synthesis alone would be a huge expense.

Excluding the 5 8-star non-attribute titles needed for synthesis, Su Xiao still had 269,820 1-star titles left. As the saying goes, if luck is bad, strength makes up for it—that was the situation.

Su Xiao's two main titles, 【Deep Blue Shadow】 and 【War Lord】, were both 8-star titles. To be the final winner, upgrading these two titles to 9-star was essential, especially 【Deep Blue Shadow】, this combat-type title.

Su Xiao prepared to upgrade 【Deep Blue Shadow】 first. There were many reasons. First, he had to deal with the remaining three of the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple, and in addition, he had obtained a gain called 【Withered World Will】 from killing the Progenitor this time, which could be added when synthesizing titles.

If he guessed correctly, adding this item to title synthesis would likely result in title effects that targeted World-Destroying existences and Abyss-type enemies.

The synthesis speed of non-attribute titles was faster than expected; after all, it was more like the condensation and refining of title energy. It took a total of two hours for the refining to be completed.

【You have obtained 5 8-star non-attribute titles.】

Seeing this, Su Xiao took 【Deep Blue Shadow】 out of the title list. After a crisp sound, he inlaid it in the center of the refining disc, and then took out 【Withered World Will】. The 【Withered World Will】, like golden light particles, clung to 【Deep Blue Shadow】.

Five slots appeared around the title refining disc, representing that up to five sub-titles could be inlaid. After five crisp sounds, five 8-star non-attribute titles were inlaid on it.

【Yes/No to perform this title refining.】

【The success rate of this refining is: 100%.】

【This refining has been confirmed. It is expected to be completed in 12 hours.】

Closing the prompt, Su Xiao began to think about the subsequent plan. His goal in this world was not complicated: complete two missions, the Talent Mission · First Stage and the Legendary Mission · Eternal Light Lord.

Although the goal was clear, doing these two things was very difficult. At present, he had only completed one-third of one of them and had almost lost his life on the spot, not to mention that the other three of the Four Giants would only be harder to deal with.

Dealing with the Progenitor this time, Su Xiao actually had a considerable advantage. First, Zhan Long Shan 16 was just right to counter the Progenitor's 【Corruption】, and the Progenitor's most difficult 【Corruption】 was naturally countered by his Blade Master.

Without these two advantages, Su Xiao might still have won this battle, but it would have been more dangerous. He actually still had trump cards unused, such as Dead Silence Ash and the super-high burst of King of Shadow at the end of the battle.

It wasn't that Su Xiao underestimated his opponent by keeping these two hands, but to guard against any other trump cards the Progenitor might have. In fact, the Progenitor really did have a backup plan, but the alchemical poison erupted at the end, and the Progenitor's backup plan wasn't used.

Among the remaining Four Giants, Su Xiao's next target was the Astral Devourer. The undying source of this World-Destroying existence had been exhausted. Before it could escape this place and devour planetary power from the outside world, the Astral Devourer's undying source could not recover.

As for the remaining Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Abyss Archbishop, Su Xiao didn't have much confidence in killing them. The Lord of Eternal Darkness had only been imprisoned here for a few thousand years, and its undying means were very likely not yet exhausted, while the Abyss Archbishop was a conceptual type of immortality, which was even more troublesome.

Therefore, before completing the Talent Mission · First Stage, Su Xiao would not let any of the Four Giants have a chance to escape the Eternal Light World. Moreover, this was not just for the Talent Mission; once any of the Four Giants escaped this place, the consequences would be endless. An immortal enemy with supreme strength—just thinking about it felt troublesome.

Listening to the forging sounds coming from the massive workshop, Su Xiao began to perfect the subsequent plan. The Progenitor had been killed, and the other three strong enemies would inevitably notice and become more cautious and murderous.

Previously, the intelligence obtained by the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple was that a Law-Breaker who had not yet promoted to Supreme had come to the Eternal Light World. Regarding this, the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple, out of fear of the Law-Breaker of Shadow, were still somewhat vigilant about Su Xiao, but only vigilant.

Compared to finding the Monarch's Treasure and obtaining the key inside to leave the Eternal Light World, taking revenge on a Law-Breaker of Shadow who had not yet promoted to Supreme seemed less important. Therefore, the attention of the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple had been focused on the Monarch's Treasure.

But now, the Progenitor had been killed by this Law-Breaker who had not been promoted to Supreme for long, which made the other three of the Four Giants feel a great threat. This sense of threat was enough for the Four Giants to temporarily abandon the key in the Monarch's Treasure and turn to deal with Su Xiao.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao knew it was time to open the Monarch's Treasure. Only in this way could he lure out the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple, who were full of vigilance. However, before that, he had one more thing to do.

Arriving at the room where he was staying, Su Xiao saw Amu, whose complexion had recovered a lot. But for some reason, Amu seemed a bit down. Even when it was almost killed by a big boss in the past, he hadn't seen it like this. After asking, Amu took out its Dragon Heart Axe.

At this moment, the Dragon Heart Axe had changed drastically. The ice-blue dragon heart in the center of the axe head had stopped beating and was completely withered. This weapon that had accompanied Amu for a long time was about to turn into an ordinary battle axe because its source power had been sucked dry by the Progenitor's ability. No wonder Amu was in low spirits.

Observing the battle axe for a moment, Su Xiao carried it out of the residence and came to the Molten Giant's workshop. Seeing Su Xiao coming, the Molten Giant stopped forging. Seeing the Dragon Heart Axe in his hand, the Molten Giant shook his head, meaning he was powerless.

"The source power of this weapon is about to dry up."

Hearing that the source power was drying up, Su Xiao frowned and thought for a moment. He did have an item with exceptionally strong source power, and the upgrade of this item had also reached its limit. More importantly, he couldn't use this thing normally.

That's right, it was the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor. Not all quasi-original sin items could be promoted to true original sin items. For example, the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor had reached its limit and could no longer devour original sin characteristics.

It was strange to say that Su Xiao had fed the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor several 【Abyss Buds】, but it ultimately couldn't become an original sin item. Conversely, the Ancient Mask, which hadn't invested any resources and had already run away from home, was only one step away from being an original sin item.

Because of this, Su Xiao had never sealed the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor. Although the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor had grown to its limit, the problem was that Su Xiao couldn't wear this armor. This armor would provide a high amount of attack lifesteal effect, true, but it would also reduce Sanity. For a technique-type, exchanging Sanity for lifesteal effect was a big loss.

After Su Xiao took out the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor, the Molten Giant became interested. Among the three legendary blacksmiths, the Molten Giant was best at forging armor. He studied the Blood-Thirsty Battle Armor for a moment and said he could try to forge this semi-fluid armor into the Dragon Heart Axe. If successful, it would not only allow the Dragon Heart Axe's source power to recover, but its strength would also be qualitatively improved.

After finishing this, Su Xiao sent a message in the team channel, summoning the other "good teammates" to gather at the manufacturing plant in Black Iron City. This time, opening the Monarch's Treasure, besides destroying the key 【Moon Glow】 that could leave this world, he also had to compete for the treasure itself. Whether it was 【Soul Crystal Essence】 or 【Power Source】, they were resources Su Xiao needed.

【Soul Crystal Essence】 went without saying; once a technique-type reached the later stage, no one was short of this thing. And 【Power Source】 was equally important. Besides needing to consume one to stabilize one's physique after each use, it was definitely one of the protagonists among the several prerequisites for promoting to a Supreme.

Reaching the Supreme level was not Su Xiao's final goal. His enemies were too strong, so he had to move toward the Supreme level. Promoting to Supreme was different from promoting to Supreme. When promoting to Supreme, as long as one had enough courage and didn't consider the strength after promotion, it was completely possible not to use 【Power Source】. As long as one successfully promoted to Supreme, one could obtain 1 Primal Skill Point.

But to promote to Supreme, one of the several prerequisites was 50 【Power Source】s. This was a necessary material. Without it, one didn't even have the qualification to promote.

Su Xiao currently had 2, and he was still far from saving up 50. However, he had to start saving as early as possible to avoid being short of half the amount like when promoting to Supreme.

Since entering the Eternal Light World, Su Xiao hadn't rested much. Now that he had finally defeated a strong enemy, the burden in his heart eased a bit. Coupled with the influence of his injuries, he fell asleep without knowing it.

When Su Xiao woke up, it was already evening. The hunger in his stomach made him want to find a restaurant in Black Iron City. Just out of the room, he saw the Dark Lady sitting there quietly.

"Law-Breaker, you succeeded."

Hearing this, Su Xiao sat on the stone chair opposite the Dark Lady. Across the small stone table, the Dark Lady took out a treasure vault map from a hidden compartment in the stone table.

After taking this map, Su Xiao found that it was a map within the Wet Salt Zone, closer to the depths of the Wet Salt Zone, located near a small town.

"The treasure vault pointed to by the last map fragment was empty."

"This time it won't be."

The Dark Lady answered with extreme calmness, even drinking a sip of the freshly brewed maple tea.

"..."

Su Xiao suddenly felt that this statement was wrong. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Dark Lady seemed to know that the previous treasure vault was empty.

"Could it be that you knew the previous treasure vault was empty?"

"Of course not, Law-Breaker."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He had a feeling that the Dark Lady seemed to be testing something while maintaining goodwill in the same camp. However, with the Dark Lady's personality, if she didn't want to say it, no method of asking would be useful. Presumably, it had something to do with what the Dark Lady was sealing.

Amu's state hadn't fully recovered, so Su Xiao only took Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha to leave the Dark Sanctuary, then arrived at the edge of the Wet Salt Zone and took the Beast Train to Black Iron City.

Two hours later, in Black Iron City, in a somewhat remote gourmet street, inside a strange beast restaurant, Su Xiao, who had just had a full meal, was feeling his physique gradually returning to its peak state. Just then, a prompt appeared.

【Deep Blue Shadow has successfully promoted to a 9-star title.】

【Deep Blue Shadow】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality:

Category: Title · Rare.

Title Effect 1: Power of Adaptability, all damage tiers +1.

Title Effect 2: Deep Blue, your body speed increases by 29.75% overall.

Title Effect 3: Wrath Shadow, when confronting World-Destroying existences and Abyss-type enemies, will deal an additional 10% true damage.

Introduction: This is the Wrath-Killing Shadow in the deep blue.

Price: Cannot be sold.

The bonus of 【Deep Blue Shadow】 could be said to have undergone a qualitative improvement. Even for Su Xiao, who was at the Supreme level, wearing this title brought nearly a one-third increase in speed. One could imagine the strength of this title.

Besides this, the effect against World-Destroying existences and Abyss-type enemies was also what he urgently needed now. However, the appearance of this attribute was not unexpected.

The 【Deep Blue Shadow】 promoted to 9-star was already very powerful, but this was not the limit. 9-star titles didn't just correspond to the 9th tier, but to the 9th-tier Supreme level, so the gap between 9th-tier titles was particularly large.

9-star titles could also be refined and upgraded through 5 9-star sub-titles, but this only increased the title's strength and would no longer increase the title's star level. This was extreme refining.

After a 9-star title completed one extreme refining, for the next refining, even if all five sub-title slots on the refining disc were inlaid with 9th-tier titles, the success rate of this refining would not be 100%, but would drop to 80%.

After completing the second extreme refining, the success rate of the third extreme refining would drop to 20%, and by the fourth time, it wouldn't even be 5%. As for the fifth extreme refining, theoretically, it was possible to perform the fifth extreme refining, but unfortunately, there wasn't even a 0.1% success rate, so to date, no one had been able to perform extreme refining on a 9-star title five times.

Entering the Eternal Light World this time, due to the outrageous danger level of this world, tradable titles could be opened from title treasure chests. For Su Xiao, who had -21 points of Charm attribute, title acquisition had always been his weak point. Therefore, he prepared to take this opportunity to buy a few 9-star titles with Space-Time Power to perform an extreme refining on 【Deep Blue Shadow】.

Opening the World Contact Platform, Su Xiao edited a message, the content being to acquire 9-star non-attribute titles with Space-Time Power. He hadn't decided how much Space-Time Power per title yet; he would talk to the seller then.

Returning to the manufacturing plant, Su Xiao found that Sin Aiya, Wood, the Dark Eater, and Caesar had all arrived. Needless to say, the group set off for the entrance of the Monarch's Treasure.

When the group arrived at the innermost area of the Wet Salt Zone, under a rock cliff, they found that it was guarded by a large number of No-Light Temple members. This was the entrance to the Monarch's Treasure discovered by the No-Light Temple.

The entrance to the Monarch's Treasure was on this stone wall, about two meters above the ground, with a lock dial. A dozen No-Light Temple warlocks were studying the lock dial with worried expressions. Under the circumstance of not being able to break it by force, opening this lock dial was simply too difficult.

"How do we get over there..."

Before the Dark Eater finished speaking, he found that Su Xiao beside him had already walked out of the cover and headed straight toward the thousands of No-Light Temple members guarding there.

Su Xiao hadn't walked many steps before a No-Light Temple member saw him. This temple knight's eyes revealed a fierce light, and he shouted:

"Stop! If you dare to come any closer, I will..."

The temple knight's voice grew lower and lower, his gaze gradually changing from fierce to flustered and fearful. He snatched the portrait from his colleague's hand, compared it carefully, and found it was exactly the same as the one on the portrait.

Su Xiao walked past the temple knight like this. The originally fierce temple knight didn't dare to move at all now. Even if sweat flowed down his face under the metal helmet, he didn't dare to twitch his face. This was the pressure of a Law-Breaker, or rather, the pressure after killing the World-Destroying Existence · Progenitor.

Su Xiao walked through the path voluntarily cleared by the crowd with a calm aura. He looked at a red-robed priest and said, "You, come over."

Hearing this, the red-robed priest pointed at himself. The other two red-robed priests beside him moved away from him by a few steps in unison. The red-robed priest's eye twitched, and he stepped forward reluctantly.

"This... friend, you came here... what is the matter, hahahaha."

Speaking to the end, the red-robed priest laughed awkwardly and stiffly. As for why he was like this, it was just because he didn't want to die in vain. Just moments ago, he learned through his superior, Temple High Priest · Erzul, that a supreme existence had died at the hands of the Law-Breaker of Shadow · Bai Ye.

From this point, it could be seen that the priest who disguised himself as Temple High Priest · Erzul was about to start making trouble; otherwise, it would be impossible to risk being punished by the Four Giants to release the news that the Progenitor had died at the hands of the Law-Breaker of Shadow · Bai Ye.

"Did you break the lock by force?"

Su Xiao's question stunned the red-robed priest, who immediately answered no.

"Is that so? Then you all go back first. Tell the Lord of Eternal Darkness that I am waiting for him inside."

After speaking, Su Xiao came to the lock dial, took out the key, and inserted it. Then the lock dial turned on its own, and two opening space doors opened.

The No-Light Temple members guarding here retreated step by step. When they were far enough from Su Xiao, these No-Light Temple members began to run for their lives. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao ignored these rabble. Killing these small fry might indeed drop treasure chests, but the probability was too low. It was better to let them go to add some trouble to the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple.

If the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple punished these people, who would they hate more in their hearts? The Law-Breaker who was hostile to their camp but spared their lives? Or the cruel leader who punished them? If the Four Giants of the No-Light Temple didn't punish these people, it would be even worse. In the future, when No-Light Temple members saw Su Xiao, they wouldn't try to resist at all. Compared to being loyal to monsters, saving their own lives was clearly more important.

Su Xiao reached into the space door with one hand. A dragging force came. Even though he hadn't entered it yet, he felt that the location of the Monarch's Treasure was much larger than he had imagined.

In the center, on a wasteland.

Darkness slowly drifted from the earth. The only person who could achieve this level of terrain change in the Eternal Light World was naturally the Abyss Archbishop.

At this moment, the Abyss Archbishop's complexion was terrifyingly pale, and the black bishop's robe he was wearing was also a bit tattered. Repelling the Astral Devourer was truly difficult for the Abyss Archbishop in the Eternal Light World. However, the Abyss Archbishop had still become the winner.

The Abyss Archbishop spread his hands. As darkness emerged, a 【Blade of Sealing】 detached from the darkness and fell into his hand. Facing the Law-Breaker's open conspiracy, the Abyss Archbishop could not refuse.

"Finally, I can leave this cage."

The Abyss Archbishop gripped the 【Blade of Sealing】 with one hand and then activated it. With a *buzz*, a space channel appeared. However, this space channel was not very stable, and then the 【Blade of Sealing】 in his hand shattered.

With the Abyss Archbishop's discernment, a fake 【Blade of Sealing】 or a 【Blade of Sealing】 he couldn't use couldn't deceive him. The result at hand was indeed the case; this 【Blade of Sealing】 did indeed briefly open a gap in the space seal of the Eternal Light World.

The Abyss Archbishop didn't hesitate anymore and rushed into it. A large amount of space mist appeared.

However, what the Abyss Archbishop didn't know was that although this 【Blade of Sealing】 was real and did indeed briefly open a gap in the space seal of the Eternal Light World, forming a space channel, there were some problems with this space channel.

Normally, this space channel should be straight, with the exit leading to the outside world. But the 【Blade of Sealing】 set by Su Xiao was to open a U-shaped space channel.

The space seal of the Eternal Light World was very much like a massive sphere, covering the Eternal Light World inside. If a U-shaped space channel was opened, it was like pressing this U-shaped channel onto the spherical space seal. The entrance opened was in the Eternal Light World, while the exit on the other side was actually also somewhere in the Eternal Light World.

The Abyss Archbishop only felt a *boom* of space vibration. This space teleportation was faster than he had expected, completed in an instant, not even giving him a chance to break the space channel to prevent problems with this teleportation.

After the space teleportation ended, the Abyss Archbishop found that his vision suddenly cleared. Even with his old-fashioned cunning, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. At this moment, the Abyss Archbishop's feeling was: 'This outside world looks pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it, especially that massive building in the distance that looks a bit familiar.'

Suddenly, the smile on the Abyss Archbishop's face froze, because the more he looked at that massive building in the distance, the more he felt it looked like the Shelter City of the Eternal Light World. ===== CHAPTER 3761 =====
