Chapter 3838: Devouring
Moon Ring City · District 1, in a detached small building in the backyard of the Witches' Guild headquarters.
The trees were lush, and a group of blue-necked egrets flew over the three-story small building and landed by the shallow lake in the back. In the backyard of the Moon Witch Guild headquarters, there was actually such a shallow lake, which was undoubtedly surprising.
Looking from afar, this shallow lake had a small lake-center island, on which stood an old but imposing sculpture of a giant wolf howling at the sky. If it were a night with moonlight, one could see cyan moonlight slowly drifting out from this sculpture.
In the bedroom on the third floor, Su Xiao leaned against the head of the bed, his spirit appearing somewhat exhausted. This was not only because he was seriously injured in the death battle with the Ancient King, but also because this serious injury caused the Magic Spirit's invasion feeling to be stronger.
Under the chain reaction, his injuries recovered very slowly. In the past, when fighting powerful enemies to the death, with his attainments in pharmacology, he could recover 70-80% of his state in a few hours and recover to his peak state within two days.
This time, a few hours had passed, and even with the nourishment of various potions, Su Xiao's injuries had only recovered by 50%. To recover to his full state, it would take at least five days.
For other Supreme powerhouses, this was already an extremely fast recovery speed. After all, it was a confrontation at the same level. Sometimes after damaging the origin, it might take more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, to recuperate.
The problem was that Su Xiao was a Hunter. His stay time in a world was short, half a month to twenty days, and generally about a month. Like the Witches' World, a Transcendental · Native World, he would stay for about two months.
There were only 60 days of stay time in total, and a serious injury would take more than 5 days to recover. This not only significantly increased the risk but also reduced the gains. Therefore, he had to suppress the Blade Magic Spirit as soon as possible.
Currently, the Magic Spirit intensity of the Blade Magic Spirit was 560 points. According to the soul intensity and Magic Spirit intensity ratio given by Devouring Star · Akas:
900 soul intensity: 450 Magic Spirit.
1000 soul intensity: 500 Magic Spirit.
1100 soul intensity: 600 Magic Spirit.
Su Xiao's soul intensity needed to reach over 1060 points to suppress the Blade Magic Spirit again. However, there was one point: the experience of letting the Magic Spirit be on the verge of losing control this time was quite valuable. If he hadn't personally experienced the feeling of the Magic Spirit wanting to break free this time, Su Xiao wouldn't have been able to develop the advanced technique of "Replacement": "Transmission."
At present, Su Xiao's soul intensity had reached 902 points. When he first entered this world, his soul intensity was 860 points. Later, the Soul Eater talent increased it by 30 points, and the pseudo-original sin item "Doom Ancient Scroll" increased it by 12 points.
Regarding this improvement range, Su Xiao was somewhat dissatisfied. Compared to other pseudo-original sin items, the "Doom Ancient Scroll" had a great reputation, but such a famous pseudo-original sin item would move to show a state of wanting to crack at every turn, which made one suspect whether this item was just a name.
The improvement progress was slow, Su Xiao could wait. The key was that after increasing his soul intensity by 12 points, the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was already ineffective for him. It neither imposed doom on him nor increased his soul intensity, and it also required him to feed it some resources with original sin characteristics, otherwise it would show a state of cracking on the spot.
The current state of the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was reverse wool-gathering.
In fact, Su Xiao was indeed making things difficult for the "Doom Ancient Scroll." After all, this was a pseudo-original sin item, and it was still far from a true original sin item. Compared to big-daddy-level original sin items, it was even more of a world of difference.
First was the effect of this pseudo-original sin item. As long as the holder signed their name on it, it would continuously impose doom on the holder, and in exchange, it would continuously increase the holder's soul intensity.
The problem lay in imposing doom on Su Xiao. The "Doom Ancient Scroll" imposing doom on Su Xiao could be described as quite painful. It imposed doom on Su Xiao, which was equivalent to affecting the Paradise faction's judgment, Law-Exterminator luck, five original sin causes, dead silence causes, and the Origin Stone · World's chosen cause. After experiencing these, the "Doom Ancient Scroll" could impose doom on Su Xiao.
Just the process of "imposing doom on Su Xiao," the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was almost tired to the point of collapsing on the spot. As for continuously imposing doom on Su Xiao, if it had any conscience at all, it shouldn't have made such a request of a pseudo-original sin item.
Su Xiao's goal at the current stage was to increase his soul intensity to 1000 points. In this way, he could use the 【Trial Voucher (Eternal-level)】 to conduct the Soul King Trial. As long as he passed the Soul King Trial, not to mention what the trial gains were, this 【Trial Voucher】 Eternal-level equipment would be consumed and transformed into high-concentration soul source quality for him to absorb, thereby permanently increasing his soul intensity by 100 points.
In this way, a soul intensity of 1100 points would be enough to suppress the Magic Spirit again. The problem now was the step from 902 points to 1000 points. Even if he could return to the Reincarnation Paradise smoothly, it was very much a matter of luck to acquire such treasures and passive skills with heavy money, totaling a permanent increase of 50 points in soul intensity.
Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, Su Xiao left the bedroom and saw Alanna, who was addicted to seal studies. This ancient book, half a meter high and 30-something centimeters thick, was the "High-Level Seal Studies (Part 1)" Su Xiao bought in the Soul Library with library silver coins. The total price of the upper and lower parts was 3800 library silver coins. Because the library silver coins on hand were insufficient, he only exchanged for the upper part.
Although Alanna was sent by the Moon Witch, Alanna had been dutiful from beginning to end. Naturally, he had to give some extra rewards. Giving soul coins, space-time power, etc., directly would inevitably arouse suspicion of poaching. Alanna, a Master of Ancient Mystery + Master of Wizard Spell Studies + Master of Seal Studies, was the apple of the eye of the Moon Witch · Serithis, and the most important confidant that woman cultivated for the next generation of Moon Witches.
Therefore, taking out "High-Level Seal Studies (Part 1)" for Alanna to read was the best choice. As a Master of Seal Studies, Alanna had just flipped through two pages of this ancient book and was completely attracted. Now she even hugged it when sleeping.
"Go out with me."
"Okay, Master Bai Ye, wait a few seconds."
Alanna took out a bookmark, placed it on the page she was currently reading, and then she asked: "Master Bai Ye, can I use the bookmark that comes with this book? It can record the progress of my mastery of the knowledge on it."
"I'm using it."
"Uh~, Master Bai Ye, you have this hobby? Have you already mastered four-fifths? The progress is very fast. How long have you been studying hard, Master?"
"One month."
"?"
Alanna looked at Su Xiao with those ignorant big eyes, as if her cognitive view had received an unprecedented impact. She was stunned for a few seconds before asking tentatively:
"Mr. Bai Ye, if possible, I want to try your method of absorbing seal studies knowledge. Although it is very presumptuous to say so, I really can't help it."
"..."
Su Xiao was silent for a time. He mastered seal studies so quickly, 10% of the reason was the nine-star title "Mysterious Scholar," and the remaining 90% was the supervision of the five original sin items 'teachers'.
"My method is very extreme, are you sure you want to try."
"Think, think, think."
Alanna nodded repeatedly. Mastering four-fifths of "High-Level Seal Studies (Part 1)" in one month was really stimulating to her.
"She doesn't want to, Bai Ye, come to my office, I have something to talk to you about."
The incarnation of the Moon Witch · Serithis appeared, left this sentence, and turned into moonlight fragments and drifted away. Hearing the Moon Witch say this, Alanna, holding the "High-Level Seal Studies," didn't dare to make a sound anymore and followed behind Su Xiao.
Just out of the three-story small building, Su Xiao saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha recuperating on lounge chairs. Today, in the death battle with the Ancient King, Amu was seriously injured. Fortunately, there was the rescue of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. But later, they encountered an ambush arranged by the Abyss Archbishop.
At the critical moment, Baha killed all directions. As Su Xiao's follower, he had previously enjoyed the follower promotion qualification. Now he was a Supreme-level dark space assassination type.
Compared to Baha, whose feathers were full of blood at that time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked even more miserable. When Su Xiao rode the Storm Flame Dragon to meet them, he looked down from afar and was still puzzled, why was there a big hedgehog squatting beside Amu.
Where was this a hedgehog? It was clearly Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with arrows stuck in both sides of his butt. It hurt even when lying down, so he stuck his butt up. Later, when they arrived at the treatment center attached to the Witches' Guild, the scene was even more funny. Therefore, at this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was lying on the lounge chair, with a bit of sadness in his dog eyes.
Walking into the Witches' Guild headquarters, when Su Xiao arrived at the Moon Witch's office, he found more than a dozen high-level members of the wizard faction here. These old guys with an average age of over a thousand years were all worried at this moment. An old woman was angrily scolding the Moon Witch loudly, and the old President was persuading her on the side.
The Moon Witch · Serithis behind the desk supported her forehead with one hand. The one opposite was her mentor, so she could only listen to the other party's scolding without saying a word. Abandoning Sky City was a decision she made, and she was also prepared to bear all the consequences derived from this decision.
The reason why the old woman was so angry was not only because the Moon Witch · Serithis abandoned Sky City, but also because Serithis transferred all dissidents to Sky City by various means. Now it seemed that this was clearly using the enemy's hand to eliminate dissidents. This was the reason for the old woman's anger. More precisely, she was angry that Serithis did it so obviously.
Other high-level members of the wizard faction who didn't dare to discuss loudly in front of the Moon Witch · Serithis in the past now had enough confidence after the old woman supported them. Everyone talked at once, refuting the Moon Witch · Serithis until she didn't say a word.
"Everyone, I have some important matters to discuss with the Law-Exterminator. We will discuss your proposals later."
Hearing Serithis say this, the old woman opposite drank some warm water to moisten her throat, leaned on her cane, and under the support and crowd of everyone, left the office.
After the office was quiet, the Moon Witch · Serithis let out a long sigh. She had been scolded by her mentor all afternoon, and her head was big. As for why this Moon Witch, who was beautiful, wise, top-level in strength, and ruthless in means, was so tolerant of the old woman? In fact, there was nothing, just that before Serithis ascended to Moon Witch, the old woman taught her various secret techniques, provided rare resources, and saved her life more than ten times, disregarding the opposition of others, not hesitating to lose the position of Witches' Guild · Council Elder, and strongly supported her position as Moon Witch.
"Is this the reason you called me here?"
Su Xiao spoke. This opening remark could be described as pretending to be confused while knowing the truth.
Serithis of course knew this, but she wouldn't point it out. She pulled open the drawer, took out a stack of photos, threw them to a place where Su Xiao could just reach, and said: "This is the situation in Sky City."
"..."
Su Xiao picked up the photos to check. At this moment, Sky City was shrouded in dimness, the sky was covered with black clouds, the ground was covered with a thick and greasy black substance, like some kind of moss. The roots of the outer walls were also like this. Further up, a layer of white particles resembling sea salt clung to it, from which some white stems grew, bearing black flowers.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao knew that the Priest and others didn't open an Abyss passage, or rather, for the Witches' World that had resisted the Abyss once, opening an Abyss passage could be dealt with.
The thousand-meter-high dark space gate in the central district of the Lower City of Sky City should be connected to a severely eroded abyss zone. The primordial abyss energy there has already mutated; it is a type of cold, damp, dark liquid substance with strong corrosive, spreading, assimilating, and adaptive properties. Because of this, about eighty percent of the residents of Sky City have mutated into monsters.
Sky City's population wasn't large, only 75-80 million. The least optimistic situation was that in the dark mist in the city at this time, there were more than 60 million dark monsters lurking.
According to Su Xiao's judgment, the force that invaded this time should be the "Calamity Legion." For this force, he had a certain understanding. This was a force that could only continue to exist by constantly invading and destroying.
The leader of the "Calamity Legion" was known as the Corruption Lord. The birth of this leader was very legendary. It was the beginning of the Second Era. The Corruption Lord was still a Grand Commander of an empire. As a Tier 9 top-tier world, this place was invaded by the Abyss earlier than the Wind Sea Continent.
The Corruption Lord, who was still a Grand Commander, led his legion to guard the front line. When other legions of the empire were beaten to the point of crying and howling, and were defeated, his side had already gathered elite warriors and organized an effective and accurate counterattack.
Just when the Grand Commander's elite cavalry legion had counterattacked to below an Abyss passage, he received an order that struck him like lightning: return to the Royal Capital immediately and cover the Royal Family and the great nobles to retreat to the nearest Tier 8 world · Alliance Star.
To put it simply, the Grand Commander had beaten the first wave of Abyss beast tides back step by step on the front line. Just when his soldiers were constantly becoming stronger and were about to become a Transcendental-level legion, his monarch actually wanted to take his relatives and great nobles and run away.
The Grand Commander refused this order and abandoned the empire's battle flag. He led his subordinates to retreat from the front line and guarded the empire's most populous trading city · Boshengdun for fifteen years, until his soldiers were reduced to only 10%. The Abyss invasion began to spread to the trading city · Boshengdun. A few months later, the Grand Commander stood on a mountain of giant beast corpses, and after fighting until he lost 90% of his blood, he sat on the top of the giant beast's head without a word, slowly being swallowed by the darkness gathering around him.
The Grand Commander died, the Corruption Lord appeared in the world, and his resentment, which was as cold as the Nine Nether, made the initial Abyss energy in this world begin to have a mutation direction, becoming more erosive, spreading, assimilating, and adaptive. His former subordinates gradually stood up and became the first batch of corrupted ones, and the "Calamity Legion" appeared.
Invasion, erosion, assimilation, this was the process of the "Calamity Legion" turning a world from vibrant to dark, cold, and broken.
The core combat power of the "Calamity Legion" was the corrupted ones. Their numbers were numerous, so many that it was difficult to count. The Sky City residents invaded by the Calamity Mist turned into the sunken ones. They were all low-level miscellaneous soldiers and needed to absorb the Calamity Mist for a period of time before they could transform into corrupted ones.
That was to say, the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and the Abyss Archbishop, the three of them, cooperated with the Corruption Lord to have the scene before them. As for the ultimate goal of both sides, it was temporarily unknown. What could be determined was that if this side achieved its goal, the wizard faction would definitely pay an extremely painful price, and might even be unable to recover from this.
With the combat capability of the "Calamity Legion," the Sea Clan and Beast Clan of the Wind Sea Continent could indeed compete with it. The wizard faction wasn't very optimistic. This side had many top-level powerhouses, but in terms of legion combat power, it could only be said that it wasn't bad.
"Bai Ye, your means of cleaning up the Eternal Light world should also be able to deal with this enemy."
The Moon Witch's meaning was very clear: invite Su Xiao's Demon Zerg to deal with the enemy of Sky City together with the wizard faction. Of course, there would be rewards afterward.
Su Xiao looked at the Moon Witch opposite, feeling some doubt in his heart, which was why the Moon Witch would think that in the confrontation of the legion flow, the wizard faction could take advantage of the "Calamity Legion."
Thinking about it, this Moon Witch hadn't resisted the Abyss invasion, and after becoming the Moon Witch, she had always protected the Witches' World as an individual powerhouse, and let the place have better development. As for defeating the Ancient King Legion, Ice-born Legion, tribes, etc., all were done by the first generation Moon Witch. By the time of Serithis's generation, the legion flow of other factions in the Witches' World had long been beaten away, and it had changed to developing individual powerhouses.
This was a Transcendental World. The "Wizard Legion" of the Witches' World had always had a feeling that they and the Wind Sea Continent were both Transcendental Worlds, so the legion flow combat power should be about the same. The "Wizard Legion" admitted that the Wind Sea Continent was stronger in this aspect, but it was at most half a chip stronger.
The Witches' World had been peaceful for thousands of years. The Wizard Legion here had never been in power. This time, it was finally valued by the Moon Witch once. The dozen or so Wizard Legions naturally wanted to show their powerful combat power and promised that in 10 days, at most 10 days, they would drive the "Calamity Legion" out of the Witches' World. It could be seen that the generals of the Wizard Legion hadn't completely lost their minds, knowing that the "Calamity Legion" was strong, so they only said to drive them out and didn't brag about completely annihilating them.
The Moon Witch · Serithis of course wasn't omniscient. She judged that the generals of the Wizard Legion had components of boasting, but after estimation, the Wizard Legion + the massive individual powerhouses of this world, driving the "Calamity Legion" out, was just a matter of time.
Therefore, regarding the willingness to request Su Xiao's Zerg to be dispatched, although she expected it, it was far from reaching the level of urgency.
Under this situation, if Su Xiao dispatched the Demon Zerg, even if they repelled the "Calamity Legion," it would offend many people, and the gains that could be obtained from the wizard faction wouldn't be much, which belonged to thankless work. On the contrary, letting the wizard faction experience the legion flow strength of the "Calamity Legion" first, and letting the other side beg for their own side to take action, the gains obtained would be completely different from the former.
"The price for the Zerg to enter the Eternal Light world is that they can no longer leave that place."
Su Xiao wasn't fooling the Moon Witch, and the facts were indeed so. Now the only way for the Zerg to leave the Eternal Light world with full combat power was through the summoning of the "War Lord" title.
"Is that so? What a pity."
The Moon Witch finished speaking and no longer discussed this topic. She asked: "You want to borrow a Wizard Workshop? You must know that you just rejected me, and I have to consider rejecting you once."
"Hmm, very fair."
While Su Xiao was speaking, he took out a bag of maple tea from the storage space and brewed two cups with the tea set on the Moon Witch's table, which made the Moon Witch feel suspicious. She had just rejected the Law-Exterminator opposite, and the other party not only didn't have dissatisfaction, but instead invited her to drink the maple tea unique to the Law-Exterminator faction, which made her couldn't help but ask:
"Tell me, what are you doing borrowing the Wizard Workshop."
Hearing this, Su Xiao's hand holding the teacup paused. Before tasting the maple tea, he answered: "I am preparing to study the 'Doom Ancient Scroll' in depth. Regarding this original sin item, I don't know it too well yet. In order to avoid risks..."
"This is the key to my Wizard Workshop."
The Moon Witch pushed a bunch of keys over. Seeing this, after Su Xiao drank a sip of maple tea, he said: "The construction cost of the Wizard Workshop is high, I'd better..."
"You must use it. Except in my Wizard Workshop, don't mess with those 'collectibles' of yours that can destroy the world at every turn outside."
The Moon Witch stared at Su Xiao. After a moment, she asked: "Bai Ye, how do you feel about Serin."
"In a sense, she can be considered to have recast the glory of a certain former Law-Exterminator."
Hearing this, the Moon Witch frowned slightly in doubt. She added: "I mean, do you feel Serin is qualified to be the next Moon Witch."
"..."
Su Xiao simply stopped paying attention to the Moon Witch. Regarding other people's affairs, he never pointed fingers. If it weren't related to himself, he wouldn't even mention opinions.
Seeing Su Xiao's attitude, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in the Moon Witch's eyes. But in her heart, she felt comfortable. The attitude Su Xiao displayed was clearly that whether Serin became the Moon Witch was a matter of the wizard faction and had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't prepared to interfere.
After chatting with the Moon Witch for a while, Su Xiao left. In the elevator, he moved his crystal left hand. Afterward, except for recuperating, he just needed to wait for the news that the Wizard Legion was beaten to the ground. As for the Dark Eldest Son holding Dark Blood · Power, if he wasn't mistaken, the other party had an 80% probability of being in the mutated Sky City at this time.
Regarding the plan set up by the Priest and others in Sky City, Su Xiao and Caesar had long been on guard. However, both of them had misjudged, originally thinking it was the Dark God Sect wanting to bring in a large amount of Abyss energy and take the opportunity to rise. Who knew that what appeared was the "Calamity Legion."
Regarding this kind of judgment error, both Su Xiao and Caesar felt particularly gratified. They had already stocked up in the treasury of the Dark God Sect headquarters before. Being able to stock up a second time was naturally refreshing, but the gains weren't very high. On the contrary, the "Calamity Legion," which had destroyed many high-tier worlds, had come now. The huge treasury belonging to the Corruption Lord should be piled up with all kinds of rare treasures.
Don't forget, the three cheapskates of the Arbiter are gathered in this world at this time. The prototype of this plan has been prepared. As long as Su Xiao's Demon Zerg and the Calamity Legion clash, the follow-up plan can be implemented. It could be said that the three cheapskates of the Arbiter now have green eyes.
The President · Po Yien, who met the three a few hours ago, turned around and went to a place where no one was, and quickly contacted the Moon Witch remotely. The content of the call was very simple: must protect the treasury of our wizard faction. He just saw the green light of the financial wolf faintly appearing in the eyes of those three guys, and he felt terrified in his heart.
Witches' Guild Headquarters · Back Courtyard, before eight o'clock that night, Su Xiao arrived at the Moon Witch's Wizard Workshop. This place had multiple sealing spells. He estimated that unless a "Sun Holy Sword" was detonated inside, there was no possibility of shaking the defense spells here.
Of course, the Moon Witch wasn't completely at ease letting Su Xiao study the "Doom Ancient Scroll" here, so she let Lady Silver and the old President come here to avoid accidents.
Regarding these two being present, Su Xiao didn't care. He took out the "Doom Ancient Scroll." For him, this pseudo-original sin item was simply a perfect fit. Not only could it increase soul intensity, but even the doom it imposed was a kind of gain for Su Xiao, because:
【Doom Ancient Ring】
Quality: Doom (Can increase the strength of this equipment by injecting doom).
Prompt: This behavior will bring unknown risks.
Category: Ring
Durability: 1/1 (The durability consumed by wearing and using is extremely low, extremely fragile when bearing attacks, weak to all characteristic attacks).
Equipment Requirement: None
Equipment Effect 1: Fatal Range (Passive · Unique), when attacking enemies from a distance, the farther the distance to the target, the greater the damage increase (increase 1.2-3.8 times).
Equipment Effect 2: Doom Revelation (Passive · Unique), when attacking enemies from a distance, your negative attributes will bring bonuses to this ancient ring, thereby bringing long-range damage increase.
Prompt: If attacking enemies from a distance, the damage caused will increase by 9.49 times (-22 points of charm attribute bonus damage intensity).
Equipment Effect 3: Energy Adaptation (Passive): If you want to activate the characteristics of this equipment, you need to consume a certain amount of physical energy. The consumption range is, for every 0.2 times increase in long-range attack intensity, you need to consume 1000 points of mana for bonus.
Prompt: If you want to reach the theoretical full attack intensity bonus, one strike needs to consume 60,000 points of mana (increase 12 times long-range attack intensity).
The maximum long-range attack multiplier for this equipment is: 25.29 times.
Equipment Penalty 1: Fragile (Passive · Cannot be exempted)...

Equipment Penalty 7: Abyss Desire (Core · Passive...
Equipment Penalty 8: Doom Curse (Passive · Cannot be exempted), the probability of you being attacked by evil spirits, wronged souls, ghosts, etc., increases by 800% (this is a new penalty).
Regarding this new characteristic, Su Xiao didn't feel the effect. It seemed that the 800% increase in the probability of being attacked by evil spirits couldn't offset the deterrent effect of blood aura.
Su Xiao sat at the engraving table and placed the "Doom Ancient Scroll" on it. To make this pseudo-original sin item exert its effect, the cost of strengthening it was too high, so he could only use the trick of burning newspapers on the grave to fool the ghosts. Since the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was imposing doom on Su Xiao by bearing the Hunter's judgment, Law-Exterminator luck, etc., helping the other party reduce the burden was the best choice now. Su Xiao opened the title list, equipped the 【Violator】 title, and activated the effect of this title.
A series of prompts appeared in front of Su Xiao. The names of violators appeared one by one, all of whom were violators who had died in the Witches' World. Su Xiao could choose one of them to disguise for a period of time. He chose a Supreme-level violator named Bai Lang · Voyeh as his disguise identity.
Don't underestimate this disguise. This was the highest-level permission notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. After all, the positioning of this title was for Su Xiao to invade the world under the Apocalypse Paradise. Of course, the permission level was maxed out.
The result of this was that Su Xiao's Hunter judgment, Law-Exterminator luck, etc., were all temporarily shielded or hidden at this moment.
Su Xiao took out the contract pen and signed the name of Bai Lang · Voyeh, whom he was disguised as, on the "Doom Ancient Scroll." Logically speaking, before the previous holder of the "Doom Ancient Scroll" broke free or died, no other names could be signed on the ancient scroll. But under the disguise interference of the Reincarnation Paradise, Bai Lang · Voyeh was signed on very smoothly.
A gray doom came head-on. That's right, it was the "Doom Ancient Scroll" on the engraving table that stood up. Since being held by Su Xiao, this pseudo-original sin item could be described as suffering. At this moment, it finally had a chance to be proud.
A massive amount of doom invaded Su Xiao, attaching to him. The most intuitive performance was that his 80 points of luck attribute slid down like flowing water. Although it was a temporary reduction, it also made people feel the power of doom. A few seconds later, his luck attribute became 0 points. After a short stagnation, the luck attribute became -1 point.
In just over ten seconds, Su Xiao's luck attribute became -15 points. He took out the 【Doom Ancient Ring】. This equipment was like a whale sucking water, quickly absorbing the doom on Su Xiao. For a time, the output of the "Doom Ancient Scroll" and the absorption of the 【Doom Ancient Ring】 actually reached a bit of balance.
The "Doom Ancient Scroll" finally caught an opportunity, preparing to curse Su Xiao to death on the spot with a massive amount of doom this time. And the 【Doom Ancient Ring】, the absorption of doom by this equipment initially could only be said to be quite strong, but under the training of the Law-Exterminator luck being beaten once every three days and poisoned once every five days, its doom absorption had long reached Lv. EX. Now it had an attitude of refusing no one.
Compared to these two big shots, the Holy Snake, a luck equipment in Su Xiao's storage space, was curled up into a ball and shivering. It was terrified, afraid that its holder would take it out and involve it in the terrible doom storm outside.
Thinking of this, tears appeared in the eyes of the miniature Holy Snake. As a luck equipment, the previous generations of owners all cherished it very much, especially the lady who owned it last, who had always worn the 【Holy Snake Protection】 pendant on her neck and said goodnight to it every day before going to bed.
Although following the previous generations of owners, it was hungry for more than 25 days in a month, at least it wouldn't lose its life at any time. Since following Su Xiao, the Holy Snake hadn't been hungry, but was always in a state of being full to the point of being stunned. Once, it devoured doom for a month in a row. By the end of the month, it was a bit bloated.
Not to mention the shivering Holy Snake, the doom confrontation outside lasted for a full hour before ending. The doom poured out by the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was still continuous, while the 【Doom Ancient Ring】 had reached its limit. More importantly, the improvement range of Su Xiao's soul intensity had obviously slowed down and had a trend of stagnation.
Some people said that the "Doom Ancient Scroll" could infinitely enhance the holder's soul. After Su Xiao's actual test, he found that the "Doom Ancient Scroll" didn't have such a large improvement for soul intensity above 900 points. After increasing his soul intensity from 890 points to 940 points, the improvement from this pseudo-original sin item suddenly became negligible. But in contrast, the invading doom was still fierce.
Seeing this, Su Xiao lifted the disguise of the 【Violator】 title. Hunter judgment, Law-Exterminator luck, five original sin causes, dead silence causes, and the Origin Stone · World's chosen cause all returned. Cause and effect was two-way. The more fierce the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was when imposing doom on Su Xiao just now, the more intense the feedback of several powerful causes to the "Doom Ancient Scroll" was at this moment. The matter of pretending to be cool and wanting to run didn't exist at all.
Cracks appeared on the "Doom Ancient Scroll" visibly to the naked eye. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao couldn't help but suspect whether this pseudo-original sin item was going to die on the spot. He immediately took out the "Original Sin Book." As the saying goes, make the best use of everything. Even if the "Doom Ancient Scroll" really exploded into fragments, he could let the "Original Sin Book" devour it. It was not easy to obtain a pseudo-original sin item, so it couldn't be wasted.
With a slap, the "Doom Ancient Scroll" could no longer bear the strong backlash of several major causes and exploded on the spot. While fragments splashed, a gray mist emerged. Su Xiao dragged the "Original Sin Book" with one hand, and dark golden tentacles emerged on it, wantonly devouring the gray mist while rolling up the fragments of the "Doom Ancient Scroll" and stuffing them into the devouring mouth of the book cover, chewing with extra satisfaction.
After the "Original Sin Book" devoured the fragments of the "Doom Ancient Scroll," it fed back a satisfied fluctuation to Su Xiao and landed on Su Xiao's hand again.
Compared to the rebellious son "Ancient Mask" who left home, and the useless prodigal "Bloodthirsty Battle Armor," the "Original Sin Book" was worth pinning high hopes on. After completing the devouring of the broken pseudo-original sin item for the first time, Su Xiao could sense that the sealing strength of the "Original Sin Book" had soared by a tier. It seemed... coming again with a big-daddy-level original sin item, it was also possible to seal it.
Su Xiao's gaze looked at the tree spirit of the "Greedy Life Tree" that had long been released. At this time, the tree spirit was already shivering there. It witnessed with its own eyes that its kind was destroyed by Su Xiao, and then devoured by the "Original Sin Book." The dark golden tentacles spreading from the "Original Sin Book" were all faintly pointing at it, as if asking Su Xiao for permission, it hadn't eaten enough and wanted to devour this "Greedy Life Tree" as well.
Putting away the "Original Sin Book," Su Xiao looked at the tree spirit and let the other party experience for himself whether he should continue to be lazy and not bear "Life Fruits" in the future.
On the side, Lady Silver and the old President witnessed all this. After being dumbfounded for a few seconds, the two looked at each other and then fell into silence, their moods particularly complicated.
Su Xiao didn't care about the psychological shadow area of the two. He took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it. After feeling the recovery progress of his injuries, he felt that the recovery situation was okay. Afterward, he just needed to wait. Waiting for the wizard faction to be beaten to the ground by the "Calamity Legion" in terms of legion flow, then it would be the turn of the Demon Zerg to appear.
I didn't update yesterday. I originally wanted to update 10,000 words today, but this neck of Mosquito really didn't give face on a rainy day.
