Chapter 3843: Purpose
Thick corrupt smoke emerged from chimneys that were thick at the bottom and thin at the top, making Sky City pitch black. The water sources on the surface all presented a reddish-brown color, which was highly toxic and eroded the surrounding land.
This was Green Shade Star, a 9th-rank top-tier world that was originally lush and could be called a plant kingdom. The natives living here were called the Giant Spirit Race. They cherished nature and life, believed in natural causality, and firmly believed that only by cherishing and thriving in the world they were in could they have a better future.
This made the Giant Spirit Race one of the oldest groups. From the beginning of the Void's First Era, they had lived on Green Shade Star. This was originally a waste star. In the early 2nd rank, it almost slipped to the 1st rank world stage. Therefore, this world only had one planet and no wonderful and rich world structure.
Actually, the Transcendent Native World also only had one planet. The problem was that this planet of the Transcendent World was incomparably vast. For example, the Witch World. To date, the Wizard Faction could only completely control the land of the Wizard Continent, and this land occupied about 6.5% of the entire Witch World. What was more vast were the oceans, islands, dark spreading areas, and those Sky Cities with rare animals.
However, the Wizard Faction was indisputably the face of the Witch World. Their rise and fall determined the fate of the Witch World. This ridiculously vast Witch World had too many secrets and dangers, and these were all suppressed by the Wizard Faction.
Don't look at how the Disaster Legion jumped when invading the Witch World. This was because the Wizard Faction didn't show its true skills. Ask, where did the middle-level forces of the many Wizard families go? The answer was: to those extremely dangerous places that needed them to suppress. It was not because of the Witch World that wizards were prosperous, but because of wizards, the Witch World was suitable for intelligent beings to live and work in peace. Otherwise, this would be a hunting ground for all kinds of terrifying monsters, a purgatory.
Green Shade Star, which was a waste star at the beginning, was only a 2nd-rank world. After the Giant Spirit Race, as a wandering group, came here, they didn't dislike the barrenness of the waste star but settled here. At that time, the Giant Spirit Race was a 7th-rank group. Initially, they purified the pollutants on this planet day and night, letting the land and water sources regain their vitality.
Under the care and development of the Giant Spirit Race, by the end of the Void's First Era, Green Shade Star had become a 6th-rank world. The Giant Spirit Race didn't like houses but lived in forests or mountains. This was a group with an average elemental affinity of over 300 points, which could imagine their love for nature and life.
By the middle of the Second Era, Green Shade Star developed into an 8th-rank world. At this stage, it became Green Shade Star nurturing the Giant Spirit Race. By the end of the Second Era, the Giant Spirit Race's group rank reached the 9th rank, and they began to feed back to Green Shade Star.
The beginning of the Third Era was the peak of the Giant Spirit Race and Green Shade Star. As a top-tier 9th-rank group, they didn't bully the weak. At that time, the Giant Spirit Race began to like long-distance travel. They went to those mid-to-low-rank worlds that were about to wither and collapse. If they could save them, they would use gentle means to save them. If not, they would let the living beings of this world spend the last period of time as painlessly and peacefully as possible.
Green Shade Star had massive resources and abundant natural elements. The latter naturally attracted the attention of the Arcane Eternal Star. However, the Arcane Eternal Star still wanted face. Plundering the Giant Spirit Race, these old good people of the ten thousand worlds, was both shameful and damaging to their reputation. They simply pretended not to see it, and if they didn't see it, they wouldn't covet it.
The Arcane Eternal Star wanted face, that's true, but some forces didn't want face, and that was the Disaster Legion. The former Supreme Commander who resisted the Abyss had long been completely eroded by darkness. Green Shade Star became its target.
The Giant Spirit Race was very powerful. Unfortunately, the Disaster Legion was a legion-flow level invader. Speaking of which, the Giant Spirit Race was only a little different from the Little Elf Race, which was that they didn't find a backer. The Little Elf Race had the Soul Library behind them. Forces at the level of the Disaster Legion didn't dare to challenge the Soul Library.
The beautiful scene of Green Shade Star had long since disappeared. Corruption heavily polluted this place. The entire planet revealed a dirty black-red color, and plants had long since become extinct.
A magnificent building tens of thousands of meters high stood tall. In the whistling wind and sand, this building appeared both magnificent and somewhat dead. This was the base of the Disaster Legion.
In the meeting hall on the top floor, the Corruption Lord in dark red armor was in the first place. Besides the Evil Spirit King, the Alien Demon Leader, and other high-level officials of the Disaster Legion, the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and the Abyss Archbishop were all present. Even the Son of Darkness, who was shrouded in black smoke and whose shape and appearance could not be seen, was also present.
What was even more confusing was that a group of high-level officials of the Dark Church were also present. The reason they left the Witch World and came to this dilapidated Green Shade Star was that their old nest in the Witch World, Shadow City, had turned into scorched ruins.
The entire Shadow City was the territory of criminals, desperadoes, and members of the Dark Church. It was impossible for anyone living there to be a good person. There, anyone who showed even a hint of kindness would be like breaking a wound in a piranha pool and would soon be dead without a corpse. However, the public security of Shadow City was no longer a problem now. Dragon flames made this city of evil cease to exist.
Speaking of which, the Dark Church in the Witch World falling into such a situation was entirely caused by the Abyss Archbishop. It sounded absurd, but the fact was so.
For the Dark Church that believed in the Abyss, the status of the Abyss Archbishop in their belief was only lower than the Abyss. The problem was that the Abyss Archbishop had been sealed in the Eternal Light World for 100,000 years.
Now that the Abyss Archbishop had returned to the Witch World, would the high-level officials of the Dark Church cheer? Of course not. Before, they could do whatever they wanted, but now, they had to obey the orders of the Abyss Archbishop.
The Dark Church in this world had three factions, and the leaders were the Light-Dark Lord, the Black Hole Azle, and the Son of Darkness. Ask, would these three parties be willing to obey the Abyss Archbishop obediently?
The backbone members under them were all recruited by themselves, and their dark power was obtained through believing in the Abyss + paying a price. Both of these, no matter how you look at it, had nothing to do with the Abyss Archbishop. Why should they all listen to him now?
As a super old schemer, the Abyss Archbishop realized this point as soon as he returned to the Witch World, so he didn't show strength. He also took out the "Dark Codex", secretly summoned the Light-Dark Lord, the Black Hole Azle, and the Son of Darkness, gave the codex to the three of them, and told them to use this codex to win over people's hearts and strengthen their forces. Only if the Dark Church was strong would he be safe. After all, he had many enemies, and the interests of their four parties were the same. He had many such dark knowledge.
How could the three guys whose ages added up to barely a thousand years calculate against the Abyss Archbishop, an old schemer of 100,000 years? He knew the Witch World very well, even better than the contemporary Moon Witch. Therefore, he was sure that a certain Law-Extinguisher would be invited, which was the optimal solution to solve the current problems of the Witch World.
In order to pave the way, the Abyss Archbishop backstabbed the Death Witch Doro, took the other party's dark blood, and gave it to the Light-Dark Lord. He also went to the tomb of the first Sky City City Lord, took the second dark blood, and gave it to the Son of Darkness.
The Abyss Archbishop was not sure he could succeed, but as long as there was a 30% probability, this matter was worth a try. After learning that the Law-Extinguisher had really come, he completely hid himself because he couldn't be noticed by the other party. He had interfered with the direction of the two dark bloods, and this was not a calculation, but "courtesy demands reciprocity".
The Abyss Archbishop helped Su Xiao reduce the difficulty of obtaining dark blood, and the Abyss Archbishop needed Su Xiao to help him get rid of the three current leaders of the Dark Church.
But the Abyss Archbishop really didn't expect that Su Xiao would directly destroy Shadow City. This not only caused the Abyss Archbishop heavy losses but also gave him an opportunity.
Actually, the Abyss Archbishop had always wanted to leave the Witch World. The Wizard Faction here didn't look like its luck had run out, and the development of the Dark Church must be to cannibalize the corpse of a big force to take its place. Only in the Wind Sea Continent could there be such an opportunity. The Abyss Archbishop was sure that the Wind Sea Continent must be the first Transcendent World to decline.
The current situation was that the destruction of Shadow City had made hundreds of mid-level members of the Dark Church no longer trust the Son of Darkness. The Abyss Archbishop didn't need to spend too much effort to take these mid-level members under his command and take them to the Wind Sea Continent for development.
As for those lower-level members who had combat power but no brains, after arriving in the Wind Sea Continent, there would be as many as they wanted. Those with weak minds found it difficult to refuse the easily obtained dark power.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was very oppressive. The powerful combat power of the Demon Zerg had already beaten the Disaster Legion until they were confused. Now the more thorny problem was whether the Demon Zerg would attack.
"Everyone, as far as I know, the Zerg are not good at tracking. Besides, Green Shade Star was transformed into a wandering star by us long ago. Our location is very difficult to lock."
The Alien Demon Leader spoke. Its four hands were crossed, and there was a bit of confidence in its radial pupils. After all, this planet was transformed by it. It was originally thinking of transforming it into a mobile world-level war fortress. Unfortunately, the result became the difference between the seller's show and the buyer's show.
"With the movement speed of this planet, it is indeed very difficult to track."
The Evil Spirit King expressed his position. What he said had a level. He and the Alien Demon Leader were deadly rivals. Under the current situation, stepping hard on the Alien Demon Leader's statement would definitely attract dissatisfaction, so he chose to praise to kill.
"Everyone."
The Priest spoke, and everyone's eyes looked at him. He continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the Law-Extinguisher Bai Ye is currently working with the Deceiver Caesar to deal with you. Do you really have confidence that you can escape the pursuit of the Deceiver?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions. Since the Deceiver successfully stole the No. 2 to No. 5 treasuries of the Earth Spirit Chamber of Commerce, his name had spread outside the Void.
Mentioning Caesar, not many people recognized him, but mentioning the Deceiver, as long as it was not the kind of world that was not qualified to communicate with the outside world, the powerhouses of this world must have heard of the Deceiver's name, and would subconsciously worry about their own treasuries. This was like subconsciously touching the wallet in the inner pocket of the coat to see if it was still there, which was a psychological state.
"Everyone, don't be so worried. Actually, I have good news."
The Priest took out a fluorescent purple space fragment, placed it on the table, and said: "This is a Void Gate fragment I obtained at the cost of one clone. Based on my judgment as a member of the Paradise Faction, this is not an inherent ability or equipment characteristic, but a title ability..."
Hearing this, a bull-headed alien demon under the Alien Demon Leader felt it was unreliable and questioned loudly: "How can you prove that this is the ability of the title you said."
The Priest was interrupted but not angry. He smiled kindly and explained to the bull-headed alien demon: "Can you distinguish the taste of apples, oranges, and pears?"
"Of course I can."
The bull-headed alien demon answered decisively. Then, he seemed to understand something, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
The Priest with a kind smile continued: "Assuming this Void Gate is a title ability, then there is a 70% probability that it has an ability time limit, and even has usage frequency limits in every world. Otherwise, the Star Island closest to the Wizard Continent would already be the territory of the Zerg."
After the Priest finished these words, everyone present felt that this made sense. But another problem was that the Witch World and Green Shade Star were not the same world. In the Witch World, the Void Gate did have usage restrictions, but in Green Shade Star, it did not.
"There is one more point. You don't have to worry that the Law-Extinguisher will attack Green Shade Star indiscriminately. Someone among us has something that the Law-Extinguisher desperately wants."
The Abyss Archbishop's words made the Son of Darkness's expression gloomy. He pressed one hand on his chest, feeling the dark blood in the three hearts. This was his last trump card. If he were forced to a dead end, he would destroy these dark bloods.
"That is to say, not only can the Law-Extinguisher not actively attack, but we also have something he must obtain. Is it possible that he will come to Green Shade Star without the assistance of the Zerg?"
The Evil Spirit King's eyes emitted a different kind of brilliance, and other high-level members of the Disaster Legion also showed fierce light.
"This is our biggest advantage, but this advantage is not enough. We need powerful allies."
The Platinum Apostle spoke. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Priest and the Abyss Archbishop. Everyone knew that the two of them were colluding with the Meteorite Star.
"This... is very difficult to handle. Everyone also knows that the attitude of the Meteorite Star is very vague."
The kind smile on the Priest's face disappeared a bit, which made the Evil Spirit King and the Alien Demon Leader tighten their faces. Among them, the Evil Spirit King said: "Priest, you suggested that we invade the Witch World. Now that there is a problem, you want to slip away?"
Hearing this threatening words, the smile on the Priest's face disappeared completely. He looked at the Abyss Archbishop, talked in a low voice for a few words, nodded slightly, and sighed:
"The three of us can go and try, but if only the three of us go, the burden of driving that huge world-level teleportation array on the way is very heavy. This is to form an alliance. If the three of us are weak in aura, the alliance may turn into a siege. I suggest that half of the mid-to-high-level members under your command, Lord, go with us..."
"Impossible."
The Corruption Lord expressed his position. This was the only time he had spoken so far.
"Oh? Meaning we go to form an alliance, you don't send a single person, and don't bear any risk. Speaking of which, your disastrous defeat in the Witch World is because of your lack of ability. How did it become that our plan has a problem, making us run errands in various worlds."
The Platinum Apostle began to look unkind, which made everyone in the Disaster Legion feel uneasy.
"Otherwise, let's do this, our cooperation ends here..."
As soon as the Platinum Apostle said this, the Son of Darkness immediately interrupted: "Everyone calm down. The burden of driving the world-level teleportation array on the way is indeed a problem. Why not let the hundreds of backbone members under my command go? This will not only boost the momentum, but they can also withstand the consumption of the world-level teleportation array along the way."
Was the Son of Darkness considering the overall situation? Of course not. The hundreds of backbone members he wanted to send were not his direct descendants, but the direct confidants of the Light-Dark Lord and the Black Hole Azle. These people seemed to be loyal to him, but in fact, they were here to hug thighs. Once they engaged with a powerful force, they would definitely be the first to run.
The Platinum Apostle looked around at these members of the Dark Church who had different thoughts and was just about to say something very dissatisfied when the Priest beside him gave him a look, indicating to endure it first, and they still needed to cooperate with the Corruption Lord later.
After the group left the headquarters of the Disaster Legion, they headed straight for the direction of the world-level teleportation array. Were they going to form an alliance with the Meteorite Star? Of course not. The Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and the Abyss Archbishop were going to run away immediately and leave this world that was about to be destroyed.
The Priest and the Abyss Archbishop had personally experienced how Su Xiao leveled the Eternal Light World with legion-flow. Under such a premise, to what extent did they lose their minds to go head-to-head with Su Xiao in this regard?
The current situation was that the Abyss Archbishop took a group of capable and ambitious Dark Church younger brothers straight to the Wind Sea Continent for rapid development, while the Priest and the Platinum Apostle returned to the Witch World to wrap up the plan.
Witch World, Moon Ring City, Witch Guild Headquarters, inside the Moon Witch's exclusive workshop.
The faint light shone down from above. The "Star Disk" that had absorbed four portions of dark blood floated above the engraving table. Su Xiao raised his hand and flicked the "Star Disk" with his index finger, and the "Star Disk" in a weightless state rotated slowly.
The faint fragrance of tulips in the workshop made people feel relaxed. Su Xiao was considering a problem: how to gather all five portions of dark blood while bypassing the Son of Darkness. He could be sure that the Son of Darkness was no longer in this world, but in the base of the Disaster Legion.
He had never seen the Son of Darkness, but the other party could become one of the three leaders of the Dark Church in this world, so he must have the courage to face death. If he pressed over with the Zerg, even if he could kill the Son of Darkness, the other party would destroy that dark blood before dying. The information of several main quest rings mentioned more than once that dark blood could be destroyed.
The requirement of the main quest was to absorb all dark blood with the "Star Disk". This quest seemed to have no solution, but from another perspective, assuming there were a total of 30 ounces of dark blood in this world, the main quest could be fully understood as long as 30 ounces of dark blood were absorbed with the "Star Disk".
The problem was that Su Xiao had tried to manufacture dark blood. He had analyzed the composition of this thing many times. It was a source blood of a powerhouse + liquid world power + witch evil energy.
The first two could still be thought of, but the difficulty was the last "evil energy". The concentration of "evil energy" in dark blood was so high that it could be called outrageous. What was puzzling was that witches absorbed dark blood and would not induce evil changes because of the "evil energy" inside, which made people even more puzzled.
There is a specialty in the art industry. In this regard, Su Xiao was indeed not top-notch. Fortunately, he was never a stubborn person. After determining that dark blood could not be replicated, he decided to adopt a more risky plan, which was dilution.
He currently had 25 ounces of dark blood. If he added a sufficiently adaptive blending liquid, it was not impossible to turn 25 ounces of dark blood into 30 ounces, but the concentration was lower. He was not absorbing this thing to gain power. In the final analysis, dark blood was just a key for him. Whether it was a gorgeous gold key or a rough iron key was not critical. The key was to be able to open the door.
Just as Su Xiao was about to take a risk, the communicator placed aside rang. He picked it up to check, and it was dialed by the Moon Apostle. This was a bit strange. This kind of contact should be dialed by Morey. He connected it, and Morey's voice came from the communicator:
"Hello? Hello hello? Moon Apostle, what kind of broken communicator is this, why is there no sound."
"It shouldn't be, I bought it just last month."
"Look, there's no sound at all, bang! Bang! Bang (slapping sound)."
"The signal is normal. You say, is it possible that you have been hello-ing since the beginning, and Bai Ye hasn't spoken."
"Uh~, Bai Ye, can you hear me?"
Hearing this, Baja, who was squatting on the hanger aside, said with a cheap mouth: "Can't hear."
"It's over, he can't hear on his side."
It could be heard that Morey's tone was somewhat confused. If she was a sand sculpture girl in the past, now she was a sand sculpture happy girl.
"I told you not to drink, but you insisted on trying what it feels like to drink straight from the bottle like Hao Mei. You're drunk, aren't you."
"The problem is not big, I just feel that I have become a bit dull, my drinking capacity is very good."
"Why don't you hang up first, and wait until you wake up to wave over, so as not to break your legs again."
"No problem, cough~, Bai Ye, the "Moon Stone" vein has been mined. The stay time of the three of us in the Witch World is almost up. When will you come to take the "Moon Stone"? Actually, sending it to you is also fine, but the strength of the three of us still needs to be improved. Traveling long distances in the Witch World is dangerous, but I feel that I have overcome this timidity now. You wait, I will send it to you in a while..."
"You calm down, forget a few days ago, you were almost pierced by the Amber Deer in the wild. If it weren't for its compassion, you would still be lying down and recuperating."
"You, you're talking nonsense, I saw it dragging its family, so I couldn't bear to use heavy hands."
"Then why did you lie on the ground and say, Deer Boss, I was wrong..."
"Ah!! Shut up!"
"You... don't do it just because you can't talk, I'm a summoning type, woo~ I was wrong..."
In the exclamation of the Moon Apostle, Su Xiao hung up the communicator. He decided to take time to take the "Moon Stone" later. As a material that could directly exchange for rare origin stones, the "Moon Stone" was the key to strengthening the Dragon Flash.
Putting away the communicator, Su Xiao held the "Star Disk" with one hand. Following his manipulation, drops of dark blood seeped out from the "Star Disk" and gathered into a large group. He took out the transparent potion he had prepared long ago and poured it on this group of dark blood. A few seconds later, the two had signs of fusion.
In essence, dark blood could be considered a rough, extremely rare material. It was not a stable source of power. This could be seen from the fact that the Ancient King and the strongest filth, the Dark Prophet, did not use it. As a pharmacist master, Su Xiao could naturally lower the concentration of a material.
Su Xiao tried to absorb this diluted dark blood with the "Star Disk". As the dark blood was completely absorbed, a prompt appeared.
【"Star Disk" has absorbed dark blood (102.6%).】
【Detected that the concentration of dark blood has changed, judging...】
【Judgment completed, this concentration of dark blood is enough to drive the "Star Disk".】
【When night falls, you hold the "Star Disk" with both hands and make a "Ascender" posture toward the moon in the sky. After completing this action, you can go to the "Moon Temple".】
【Warning: This quest has no penalty and can be abandoned immediately to return to the Samsara Paradise.】
Facts once again proved that knowledge is power. Successfully bypassing the unsolvable link of the Son of Darkness, Su Xiao did not intend to activate the "Star Disk" for now, but to destroy the Disaster Legion first.
"My dear friend."
Caesar suddenly spoke. Su Xiao almost subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the blade at his waist.
"I saw you were busy just now, so I didn't disturb you. The location of the Disaster Legion's old nest has been found, in Green Shade Star, but there is a problem now, Green Shade Star is a trap."
Caesar began to describe the situation in Green Shade Star. Simply put, the Priest placed the original sin object, the Golden Holy Grail, at the core of that world. Now the Golden Holy Grail had swallowed the world core of that world into the cup.
If the Zerg and the Disaster Legion fought there, no matter who won or lost, the Priest would definitely be the biggest winner. The Golden Holy Grail could absorb massive soul power and enter a full state. Once the Golden Holy Grail was full, the Priest could use this to greatly improve his divine blood.
Su Xiao would naturally not let this happen. The Priest who had been promoted to the absolute strong was already difficult enough to deal with. If the other party were allowed to become stronger again, it would definitely be a hidden danger that would affect his life later.
Summoning Zergs in Green Shade Star on a massive scale was obviously not a good strategy. The dragon flames of ordinary Demon Flame Dragons were not enough to burn the enemy's soul energy to nothing, but there was one Demon Flame Dragon that could, and that was the strongest flame dragon, Barbados. That's right, Su Xiao was prepared to let the strongest flame dragon, Barbados, single-handedly challenge the entire Disaster Legion. ===== CHAPTER 3844 =====
