Chapter 3983: Victory or Defeat

With the death of the Aggregator, the starlight particles in the hall dissipated. Su Xiao came to the innermost side of the hall, and a dark silver door blocked the front. This dark silver door was like a candle, seemingly soft and slack, but had a particularly tough feeling.

Observing for a moment, Su Xiao didn't find a way to open this door. He took out a thumb-thick sealing bottle, hesitated for a moment, and threw it at the dark silver door.

The sound of fine gnawing came. The reason for hesitation was that the value of this bottle of biological solution was very high. This is a fungus cultivated by alchemy pharmacology, which has strong erosive and aggressive properties. However, this belongs to anaerobic fungus and can only survive for 30-45 minutes in an oxygen environment.

The alchemy fungus was only the size of a fist at first, and soon occupied the entire dark silver door. After eroding for a few minutes, it pierced through it.

This is a space of over a hundred square meters. Su Xiao walked into it and saw at first glance a glass column three meters wide and five meters high, in which a figure was soaked in light green solution. It was, indeed, the Gray Gentleman.

Su Xiao came to the glass column. Suddenly, the Gray Gentleman inside opened his eyes. However, at this moment, there was no pupil light in the Gray Gentleman's eyes. Those dim eyes represented that this was a shell without a soul.

Coming to the door, Su Xiao's crystal right hand touched the alchemy fungus. The bright red fungus eroded onto the crystal palm. He didn't care about this, but returned to the glass column. The crystal right hand pressed on the glass column, and the alchemy fungus began to erode, penetrating into the solution inside.

Snap~

Su Xiao's crystal combat prosthetic limb shattered, but it began to reconstruct in the next second. He looked at the Gray Gentleman close at hand, and a feeling that a fateful strong enemy was about to be silent gradually became strong. However, the Gray Gentleman was just the beginning. The enemy he was about to face was a more terrifying enemy, that is, the controller of the Soul faction of the Arcane Eternal Star, Soul Lord, Youwen Gewu.

At first, Su Xiao thought that the four factions of the Arcane Eternal Star, namely the Arcane faction, the Elemental faction, the Magic Energy faction, and the Soul faction, were in the same group. But with the understanding of the Arcane Eternal Star, he found that it was not the case.

First of all, among the four factions, the Soul faction and the Elemental faction have the strongest foundation. The representatives of these two sides are Soul Lord Youwen Gewu and the Rin-Wind King, respectively.

These two sides represent the two basic power systems of the Arcane Eternal Star, elements and souls. Or rather, in the Second Epoch, the Law-Breaker Era, the Arcane Eternal Star only had the Elemental School. The Soul School joined the Arcane Eternal Star later, belonging to the veteran-level 'bringing capital to join the shares', and was the absolute main force against the Law-Breaker faction at that time.

And in that Epoch War, the Soul faction made great contributions, becoming the mainstay of the Arcane Eternal Star with a system that was not a magic system.

The reason for this is the terrible core secret technique of the Soul faction: swallowing natural elements to nourish and strengthen one's own soul, and further strengthening the release of soul power by opening "Soul Holes" on the head.

Su Xiao's 1500 points of soul strength is already very exaggerated. The problem is that Soul Lord, who can permanently swallow natural elements to strengthen his own soul power, has a soul strength that must reach an extremely terrifying level.

This is also the reason why the Soul faction joined the Arcane Eternal Star. The Soul faction and the Elemental faction have the same evil consequences: swallowing the natural element power of the ten thousand worlds. Both sides certainly know what kind of evil consequences this will have, but as long as they are strong enough, they can dominate until the moment before this evil consequence erupts.

As for stopping at the right time, don't think about it. Swallowing natural element power is like a train that can only accelerate, cannot decelerate, and has no brakes. It can only move forward, not stop. Even if the Arcane Eternal Star has built the track into a vast ring, the train that is getting faster and faster will sooner or later grind the track flat and derail and overturn.

In a sense, the Soul faction is more dangerous than spellcasters. The spellcaster's power system has a deep and stable background, while the Soul faction only began to rise in the middle of the First Epoch.

There is another saying that Soul Lord is actually one of the founders of the Soul faction. That is to say, this is a terrifying existence that has lived from the First Epoch to the Third Epoch.

As for the Arcane faction and the Magic Energy faction of the Arcane Eternal Star, the former is a faction that rose in the Third Epoch. Therefore, its controller, Mage Sage Sephiria, had not reached the Supreme level before, and it is said that she only promoted recently.

And the Magic Energy faction, this is a teaching faction. Its representative, Dean Guya, has been killed by Su Xiao. This one belongs to the fact that although his personal strength is not yet as good as Sephiria's, his teaching achievements are enough to make him one of the four giants.

In short, among these four giants, the Elemental faction, Rin-Wind King, represents the major families of the Arcane Eternal Star forces, commonly known as the traditional faction. Right now, the Void Great Library is controlled by this force.

Soul Lord is powerful and is one of the few Supreme peaks in the current Void Ten Thousand Worlds, on par with the Underworld God, Blade Demon, Undead Old Man, and Deer God. Soul Lord's Soul faction belongs to the meritorious faction. After all, it was one of the main forces against the Law-Breaker faction at the beginning.

Sephiria represents the rising new faction. Therefore, the one who dealt with Su Xiao before was not the entire Arcane Eternal Star, but the Arcane faction represented by Mage Sage Sephiria. As a newly rising faction, some small troubles should of course be solved by this side. If other factions intervene, it undoubtedly has the meaning of grabbing credit and indirectly suppressing and mocking the Arcane faction.

After Su Xiao let the Arcane Eternal Star taste the Sun Holy Sword and blew up their resource star, he was no longer a small trouble. As a result, the one who is about to come to deal with Su Xiao is likely to be the Soul faction, which is particularly good at fighting and particularly extreme.

What's worse is that, if there are no accidents, Su Xiao is about to be promoted to Supreme, so the world he enters later will also be at the Supreme level. This of course does not mean that Supreme-level people enter his mission world and are suppressed by the Reincarnation Paradise. That is to say, he is likely to encounter Soul Lord at full strength in subsequent mission worlds.

If you encounter Soul Lord within one or two world progressions after being promoted to Supreme, you will die.

Su Xiao looked at the dissolving glass column and confirmed that the alchemy fungus had swallowed everything. He began to look around. Several bookshelves and a desk came into view. Coming to the bookshelf, there were many records about "Forbidden Marks" on it.

After flipping through it roughly, he stepped to the desk. Just as he approached, a hint appeared.

【Detected that you are Hunter No. 13013, there is a deposited item at this coordinate.】

After the hint appeared, a letter fell on the desk in front. Su Xiao immediately stepped back two steps. A crystal thin stick appeared in his hand. He poked the letter on the table with the crystal stick, determined that this thing would not suddenly turn into the Gray Gentleman's puppet, and then operated the Shadow Spirit Line to open it, keeping a distance to watch the content on the letter. The content is:

"Bai Ye, if you really came here and saw this letter, then I am sure that I have failed completely, but I have also won.

It's frustrating to meet an opponent like you, but also somewhat relieved. Who hopes their opponent is a boring and brainless idiot? If that were the case, even if I became the final winner, it would be very boring.

By the way, since you came here, the "Puppet Mark" will also be left here. Whether you are willing or not, who can defy the sealing mechanism of Dawn? It's very likely to be cheap for that old guy.

My journey ends here. However, someone will come to send you to see me soon. If there is really a Yellow Springs Purgatory in this world, good luck, my enemy, who is also my friend."

After reading this letter, Su Xiao had no fluctuations in his heart. The reason is that he had stepped into too many pits of the Gray Gentleman before. Now, for this guy's message, even if it is a suicide note, he doesn't believe half a punctuation mark.

Determining that there were no other omissions here, Su Xiao turned and walked out. He just walked to the door of the hall, and an invisible resistance appeared.

【Warning: The final stage has not started yet, you cannot leave this area for the time being.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao's brows frowned somewhat. The situation seems to be developing in a very wonderful direction.

The remaining few hours passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the final phase to start.

【Announcement: The exploration phase has ended, and the final phase of this Paradise Contention is about to start.】

【Due to special reasons, the original "Escape Phase" has been changed to "Death Match Phase."】

【The final strong enemy of this phase, the Aggregator, has been eliminated by the Overlord unit. Its function will be replaced by the Overlord unit that eliminated it. Killing this Overlord unit will obtain the treasure chest unique to this Paradise Contention, "Aggregation Treasure Chest." Opening this treasure chest has a 5% probability of obtaining super rare rewards.】

【Current number of teams in the "Dawn Ruins": 5.5.】

【Each remaining team will receive "Fragmented Origin Mark" x2. Successfully eliminating other teams will obtain the corresponding number of "Fragmented Origin Marks" held by that team, as well as the "Fragmented Origin" they currently possess.】

【This round will end forcibly after 80 hours. If there is no absolute winner holding "Fragmented Origin" by then, the first place will be determined according to the current ranking.】

【This round of death match will start in 10 seconds. It is expected that the death match area will shrink by 0.5% every hour. During this period, powerful materials will be dropped, such as recovery items, buff items, etc. These items are not fully notarized and can be used normally, but cannot be taken out of this area.】

As the countdown started, a large number of hints appeared.

【Hint: Because you killed the Aggregator and it was detected that you have Overlord unit-related judgments, you are about to become the final strong enemy of this round. If you are successfully killed, you will obtain the following rewards.】

1. Aggregation Treasure Chest (treasure chest unique to Paradise Contention).

2. Origin Fragment x9 + Origin Fragment x19.

3. Scarlet Card · Bai Ye (highly rare scarlet card).

【Because of your dual identity (Participant/Final Phase Strong Enemy), if you succeed in winning, you will obtain an additional 85% of the "War Mission · Supreme Battle" mission rewards, which is: Apocalypse Material Box x8, Shelter Treasure Chest x1, Apocalypse · Glory Badge x1, High-Tier Essence Treasure Chest x3 (single opening, high probability of obtaining one high-value essence, low probability of obtaining two types of essence, ultra-low probability of obtaining three types of essence).】

High risk, high reward. However, this risk is really quite high. Afterward, he will definitely be besieged by Hao Chou, Platinum Apostle, Priest, Magic Scythe Teride, Cain, Water Brother, Blood Ji, and others.

As long as Su Xiao is defeated, 28 pieces of "Fragmented Origin" will be obtained immediately. This can immediately become the winner of this round.

In contrast, Su Xiao only needs to eliminate two teams, and the "Fragmented Origin" he holds will be enough to win. Among the remaining five teams, the Priest team is excluded first.

The Platinum team is also excluded. The Platinum Apostle is also not easy to kill.

Hao Chou, Teride, and Cain are the first choices. Su Xiao decided to catch Cain or Teride and beat them first. Specifically, which one to choose depends on which one rushes forward more after fighting for a while. As for how to wipe out their team, this requires Bubu Wang and Baja to cooperate in searching.

Su Xiao opened the decisive battle circle. Amu and Benny were far away outside the circle, but because they were followers, they couldn't affect the elimination judgment. Coupled with not holding "Fragmented Origin," that side didn't receive any judgment.

Su Xiao walked out of the black iron hall. The few Dawn violators who were still wandering on the empty street had turned into stone statues at this time. A layer of unknown power wrapped their bodies, making them unable to move while their bodies slowly turned into ashes and evaporated. This clearly represented that the residual notarization of Dawn Paradise was about to disappear because this Paradise Contention was about to end.

Just walking out of the black iron hall, Su Xiao saw Hao Chou sitting on the roof of a shop across the street. That lion-like wild hair was too conspicuous.

"I think, let's not waste 80 hours. Let's settle old and new grudges together."

Hao Chou grinned, revealing white teeth, looking savage and cruel.

Tap, tap, tap~

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground came. It was the Platinum Apostle in female state. This one rarely appeared, even though she had tens of thousands of lives.

"Thank you for bringing it."

The Platinum Apostle's red lips were thin, looking at Su Xiao with a smile.

Not only Hao Chou and the Platinum Apostle, but the Priest standing in front of the church in the distance also participated in this siege. After all, as long as Su Xiao is killed, the round of Paradise Contention will be won immediately, which is equal to massive resources.

You know, this time it is not a world contention. Winning the final victory is to get the notarization ownership of a world. This time it is a Paradise Contention. The Paradise faction that wins can get the following rewards:

1. Infrastructure, high-level facilities, unique facilities, some special notarization permissions, and some special judgment rights of Dawn Paradise sealed by the Tree of the Void.

2. Exclusive, rare resources remaining before Dawn Paradise went dormant, and "super-massive" general resources.

Just imagine, helping your own Paradise faction win such resources, what kind of terrifying rewards will it derive? There are indeed a few monster-level ones on the scene, but these resources can also play a decisive role for several people. Su Xiao took such a risk to participate in the Paradise Contention this time just to prepare for promotion to Supreme.

The resources he is preparing now, although enough for the "highest qualification promotion to Supreme" in the conventional sense, are:

1. Absorb 5 copies of "Initial Essence" (already prepared).

2. Absorb 15 "Original Cores" (already prepared).

3. At least three of his own main attributes raised to 800 points (already achieved).

4. Core basic ability reached Lv. 95 (already achieved).

5. Drink a copy of "Origin Potion" (already achieved).

6. Once performed an ultra-limit breakthrough on "Shadow Spirit Constitution" (already achieved).

7. The magic spirit strength of the Blade Magic Spirit reached over 800 points (already achieved).

This kind of promotion preparation is already outrageous, but Su Xiao learned before that the Law-Breaker faction has a "Law-Breaker Exclusive Secret Technique." This is the most extreme breakthrough secret technique. The requirements are extremely harsh. In contrast, its rewards are also extraordinary.

If Su Xiao's final strong enemy is Soul Lord or Underworld God, then the current specification of "highest qualification promotion to Supreme" is really enough, without bearing huge risks and massive resources to pursue the "Law-Breaker Exclusive Secret Technique." But the strong enemy he will face in the future is the Supreme Person, that is, Soul Lord at the peak of Supreme, a terrifying existence that had to bow and submit at the beginning.

Therefore, the road to promotion to Supreme must be through the "Law-Breaker Exclusive Secret Technique." This secret technique is in the depths of the ancient battlefield. Because of the grudge between Su Xiao and the "Fierce Beast Fei," he cannot go there for the time being. Fortunately, he entrusted this matter to Owl. As the strongest assassin in the ten thousand worlds, Owl has a great grasp of doing this, not to mention ten out of ten.

The "Law-Breaker Exclusive Secret Technique" is no longer a problem, but the resources used for promotion to Supreme require winning this Paradise Contention to be enough.

Cain, Magic Scythe Teride, Water Brother, Blood Ji, and others surrounded the front in a semi-circle. Even the Black Demon was among them. It seems that the Black Demon is in charge now, not the little fat man. The little fat man is very loyal and will definitely not come to besiege his few friends in this situation. The Black Demon is different.

Su Xiao didn't speak. He just walked forward slowly, slowly pulling out the long knife from his waist on the way. Blood energy spread with him as the center, as if a huge blood beast was formed behind him. This blood beast looked down at the crowd, grinning with a mouth full of sharp teeth. The penetrating red light in its eyes echoed with the blood light in Su Xiao's eyes below.

"Gulp~"

Blood Ji swallowed. She had of course heard of the Night of Beheading, but after facing it personally, this kind of oppression didn't look like a battle between contractors at all, but more like the oppression of besieging a big boss.

No, the one in front is a big boss, the kind that has been notarized by the Tree of the Void. Thinking of this point, Blood Ji looked at the bald man. As the only perception type on the scene, the heavy responsibility of detecting the data of this strong enemy of course fell on the bald man.

And at this moment, the bald man subconsciously took a step back. The other head on his shoulder, his younger brother, had already opened his eyes and said with a special sound wave that only his brother could hear: "Run, brother, run fast."

Facing his twin brother's crazy warning, the bald man could only bite the bullet and pretend not to hear it. There was no way back now. A faint light appeared in his eyes, detecting the strong enemy in front. A piece of data that was not complete gradually appeared. The content is:

Name: Kukulin Bai Ye.

Occupation: Shadow of Law-Breaker.

Category: Overlord Unit/One of the Chosen/Shadow of the Abyss.

HP: 100% (estimated specific amount is between 7.6 million and 7.9 million points!).

Hint: You can open the branch introduction to view partial data of this technique ability.

Skill 4, Overlord Power (Ultimate Basic Passive, Lv. EX):???

Skill 5, Basic Passive (Technique Passive, Lv. EX): A total of seven types of this characteristic ability have been mastered, and all have reached Lv. EX.

Skill 15, Power Penetration · Kick Technique Nine-fold Reinforcement (Supreme level Passive):???

Skill 16, Extreme Blade · Bai Ye (Supreme level Active/Passive):???

The bald man who detected this data was not feeling well. His ugly face attracted the attention of others. After the bald man shared this data, which had a lot of??? but was still explosive in combat power, with his teammates, his teammates also fell into silence one after another. Among them, Blood Ji reacted most strongly.

"My god, what the hell is four attributes of 900? Is this guy really Supreme? And this outrageous three-mastery level, and... Charm -32? Ah?"

Blood Ji's eye corners were twitching. This outrageous detection result made her have the intention to retreat.

"Lost Lamb."

An aura of death, so old that it was intense, surged from behind. Everything it touched withered, decayed, and turned into pale ashes. The Priest walked over step by step. A phantom appeared behind him. This tall phantom was covered with gray-white tentacles. Its face changed distortedly, with curled sheep horns on its head. There was a round giant mouth in the center of its chest. The giant mouth was tightly closed, like a closed vortex.

This is the first time the Priest has revealed his Ancient God appearance, which also means that the Priest is serious this time.

Crack, crack~

The sound of flesh expanding came. Hao Chou gradually increased from his original height of three meters to five meters. His lion-like messy hair was even wilder. His whole body was attached to exoskeleton armor. The ring mark on his chest was dark red like the setting sun. This is the true appearance of one of the "Forbidden Mark" fragments, the "Devouring Mark."

"All living things."

Layers of voices came. The Platinum Apostle's voice seemed to have been repeated thousands of times. Massive phantoms appeared behind her. These phantoms, men, women, old and young, were all those whose fate had been swallowed by the Platinum Apostle.

The four monster-level ones in this contention were all serious at this moment.

The atmosphere was heavy to the extreme. Under this kind of confrontation.

"Heh~"

Hao Chou laughed particularly savagely. He rushed forward fiercely. This time he didn't use his bare hands. What no one knew was that he actually had a technique mastery ability, but it developed very extremely—a heavy blade mastery that only had strength and sacrificed everything else. To be precise, this is no longer a technique-type ability, but a unique and powerful blade technique passive ability.

A black knife over five meters long appeared in Hao Chou's hand. The whole knife was slightly curved, the blade was dark gold, about 20 cm wide. Because of its length, this width didn't look clumsy. Coupled with Hao Chou's large size at this time, this black knife instead showed a few slender heavy feelings.

Boom!

Hao Chou rushed out fiercely. He held the knife with one hand and slashed down. Wherever he passed, the space was like a broken mirror, crackling and shattering.

Clang.

The earth trembled. This knife was blocked, and the wind pressure rushed around, even making Blood Ji, Water Brother, and others who were not good at close combat take a few steps back.

Death match, start! ===== CHAPTER 3984 =====
