Chapter 4005: Magic Scythe

The light of the Tier-level teleportation array gradually dimmed. This place was the Forest of Extreme Darkness, located several thousand kilometers north of "Shelter City: Doan."

A tall and majestic figure stepped out from the teleportation shimmer. He stood over four meters tall—not merely muscular, but possessing an imposing physique. He wore a long black robe with gold-threaded embroidery along the edges, and his eyes, filled with white concentric rings, inspired awe and fear in anyone who looked upon them.

This was none other than the former top powerhouse of the Astral Realm, the Abyss Archbishop, who had once been sealed within the Eternal Light World.

As long as there were those in the Void Myriad Worlds who yearned for and aspired to the power of the Abyss, the Dark God Sect would never truly perish. And as long as the Dark God Sect existed in any world, the Abyss Archbishop would not be truly extinguished. This was why the previous generation of Law-Exterminators had sealed him in the Eternal Light World rather than killing him with a Magic Blade—he truly could not be completely eradicated.

Because he had been sealed for too long, the Abyss Archbishop's strength had severely declined. When he first broke free, he had even fallen to the peak of the Absolute Strong realm. Now, after a period of recovery, he had reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Strong realm. Of course, for the Abyss Archbishop, continuing to recover to reach the "Super-Pinnacle Supreme Strong" level would be extremely difficult.

"Cough, cough, cough~. This damn Tier-level teleportation array. Did those Goblins sell us counterfeit goods?"

A figure with dark blue hair reaching past her ears, wearing a miniature diamond battle scythe earring on her right ear, stepped out from the spatial dust. She wore a tube top and a white shirt; the loose white shirt had no buttons and was completely open. She wore ultra-short shorts. Despite this, her physique would certainly not attract the gaze of the opposite sex.

Hanging from her lower back were two short-handled battle scythes, connected by a fine chain as thick as a little finger. Her eyes, pitch-black at the bottom with golden-white glimmers in the pupils, revealed her identity: Magic Scythe.

This person was known as Magic Scythe Aina, but she had another name: Green Aina. That's right, she was of the Green family—the same family as the most notorious female Law-Exterminator in history. The Green name was a family line, but not through normal blood inheritance; it was a generational blood inheritance.

For example, Green Gillian's father and grandfather were not "Greens," but after Green Gillian was born, she became a Green. As for how it was distinguished, only that secretive family knew.

This family had been a secretive clan in the First Epoch, and by the Second Epoch, after the family produced a famous figure, it became even more secretive, because that famous figure was named Green Gillian.

After Green Gillian became famous, the contemporary Green patriarch, a man of great foresight and vision, chose to immediately dissolve the Green family. This decision received the unanimous approval of all family members, and just like that, the Green family was dissolved.

As for whether Green Gillian would feel guilty—hahahahaha, please don't make such hellish jokes. In a sense, the previous generation's Law-Exterminator, Kaiser Shuna—Green Gillian's mentor—saved the Second Epoch of the Void in a way, because she took Green Gillian as her disciple and made her a Shadow of the Law-Exterminator.

Green Gillian herself was a very contradictory story. She had saved many worlds and intelligent races, but if one were to offset the wicked things she had done against her saving acts, in the end, only one-fifth of the good deeds would remain.

Magic Scythe Aina put one hand on her hip, looked around at the darkness, and muttered unhappily: "Except for the Abyss, this is the darkest place I've ever been."

Kicking a pebble to vent her frustration, Magic Scythe Aina lacked the aura of a Supreme Strong powerhouse. She picked her nose and asked, "I say, old god-stick, are you actually capable? Can you find an Abyss entrance that allows living creatures to enter? If I want to go further, I have to jump into the middle layer of the Abyss and climb back to the material world from there."

Magic Scythe Aina deliberately looked at the Abyss Archbishop with mismatched eyes. One could only say she had the flavor of Green Gillian in her youth—a total female hooligan.

The Abyss Archbishop glanced at this Supreme Strong Magic Scythe, feeling speechless. If he didn't need her help to treat the soul injury on his left arm, he would have struck immediately to let this Magic Scythe, who had never respected him, know what it meant to die in the despair of darkness.

The Abyss Archbishop's left arm looked normal, but in fact, there was no soul body present. This was the consequence of Su Xiao cutting off his left arm with a single slash. The Triple Soul-Slash was not merely about injuring the soul; it meant the loss of a portion of the soul.

The moment this left arm was completely severed by the Triple Soul-Slash, it meant that on a soul level, this arm no longer existed. It was a non-existence on the level of causality. Even with the Abyss Archbishop's means to regenerate souls, he could not recover it.

Therefore, this left arm could not use abilities, and it prevented the Abyss Archbishop from returning to the Abyss, which meant he had no chance of recovering his former peak strength.

The Abyss Archbishop brought Magic Scythe Aina to find an Abyss passage that led to the Abyss and could be traversed by living creatures. As payment, Aina used her Supreme Strong Magic Scythe methods to help the Abyss Archbishop recover his left arm.

As for the hostile relationship between the Magic Scythe and the Abyss faction, Aina didn't care. The Magic Scythe faction was gone, so she had no need to fight the Abyss faction to the death. Of course, this was on the condition that those Abyss existences didn't provoke her. Simply put, Magic Scythe Aina's actions were entirely based on her mood.

"This time, are you looking for your old friend again?"

Magic Scythe Aina looked at the Abyss Archbishop with suspicion.

"Yes."

The Abyss Archbishop didn't want to waste a single word on this Magic Scythe.

"Before, in the Wind Sea Continent, you also said you were looking for an old friend, but that old friend of yours was 'kuh-ed' by an Abyss descendant. Who are you looking for this time? At the very least, I have the right to know."

Hearing this, the Abyss Archbishop's cheek twitched. However, he repeated to himself several times not to bicker with a Magic Scythe who didn't have long to live, and his mood calmed down.

Just then, a dark tide surged ahead. A withered little old man, less than 1.4 meters tall, stepped out from the dark tide. Seeing this person, Magic Scythe Aina suddenly felt as if the blood in her entire body was about to lose control and be forcibly ripped out.

The person who arrived was none other than the contemporary patriarch of the Dukain family, Council Chairman Egu Baya.

The Council Chairman looked at the Abyss Archbishop with a faint smile. The Abyss Archbishop stared straight at him, finally shook his head, and said:

"The last time we clashed, we were both at the peak of the Supreme Strong realm. Now..."

The Abyss Archbishop didn't continue. Clearly, both sides had similar encounters, having lost their former power because of the Law-Exterminator faction.

"I'm here to find the Beast Master. You, old thing, should know very well what kind of friendship I have with it."

Hearing this, Council Chairman Egu Baya didn't speak, just nodded, and turned back into the undulating dark tide.

Seeing the Council Chairman leave, Magic Scythe Aina asked the Abyss Archbishop: "Are we looking for an Abyss descendant this time?"

"Yes."

"Oh ho~, an Abyss descendant. That's good. This one won't be 'kuh-ed' before we even find it."

After speaking, Magic Scythe Aina took out a black iron flask. After opening the lid, she tried to drink several times but was attacked by bad memories. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "You, you definitely don't know where the Beast Master is right now, do you?"

The Abyss Archbishop didn't speak, but this was a tacit admission.

Magic Scythe Aina took a deep breath several times. The "Hope Sacrificial Wine" in her hand could be called a divine artifact. As long as one took a big gulp, the "Myriad Spirits" within the flask would grant her a wish within her ability range. It was just that the taste of this sacrificial wine... the Abyss Archbishop beside her had taken one sip and almost couldn't catch his breath, nearly fainting. It wasn't just bad-tasting; it was extremely disgusting and strange.

The taste was disgusting, the texture was strange, and the aftertaste made one want to give oneself a hard slap. Drink a sip in the morning, and be dazed all day.

After taking a few deep breaths, Magic Scythe Aina gulped down a large mouthful. A few seconds later, she stretched her head out, her neck seeming to grow a bit longer, and she swallowed it down. The next second, a pitch-black spatial wormhole appeared. Looking into the wormhole, one could see a majestic great city.

A moment later, extreme disgust and strangeness began to surge, even going to her head.

"Ah!!"

Magic Scythe Aina's scream traveled far. This scream suddenly gave people the feeling of a marmot roaring in a valley.

On the dark wilderness, the Lord Train sped along. Su Xiao leaned back on a single sofa, letting the train window enter light-blocking mode. He tried to open the world's communication platform, but received several prompts:

【Detected that the Hunter has activated the Supreme-level World Communication Platform for the first time. This is the highest-stage world communication platform. It has no protection, camouflage, or anti-tracking means, but it provides item trading, consignment, intelligence consignment/trading, and the ability to view the "Good/Evil Faction" status of any unit after they speak in the world communication platform.】

【Detected that you have activated the Supreme-level World Communication Platform for the first time. You must complete your own "Good/Evil Faction" assessment before you can enter the channel.】

【"Good/Evil Faction" assessment will be based on the number of friendly contractors you have "killed/saved," the killing of indigenous people in the world you entered, and the killing of all intelligent creatures, finally settled and evaluated based on your current Void Tree Reputation. This is your final "Good/Evil Faction" assessment.】

【If you are dissatisfied with this assessment result, you can re-apply for this assessment after three world progresses. At that time, the new assessment result will replace the current one.】

【"Good/Evil Faction" has the following faction sequences:

1. Good (Recommended for cooperation, very trustworthy Supreme Strong powerhouse)!

2. Friendly (Stable cooperation possible, fairly trustworthy Supreme Strong powerhouse).

3. Neutral (Appropriate cooperation possible, but requires some precautions, Supreme Strong powerhouse).

4. Chaotic (Cooperation requires careful consideration, and untrustworthy Supreme Strong powerhouse).

5. Evil (Untrustworthy, if not necessary, please do not approach, Supreme Strong powerhouse).

6. Chaotic Evil (Cannot cooperate, untrustworthy, do not easily approach its perception range, extremely dangerous, extremely cruel, extremely cunning).】

【"Killing/Saving" friendly contractors assessment in progress...】

【Assessment complete, current Good/Evil Faction: Evil.】

Seeing this, Su Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't seem to have killed many friendly contractors. However, it seemed, apparently, probably... it was only when he reached a high level that he didn't move against friendly contractors much, or rather, as long as they didn't provoke him, he pretended not to see them. As for the early and middle stages, let's not mention that for now.

In fact, the guy who obtained the 【Team Slaughterer】 title being assessed as Evil in the first round was not wronged at all.

【"Killing/Saving" indigenous people of the world entered assessment in progress...】

【Assessment complete, current Good/Evil Faction: Chaotic Evil.】

Well, very good. The second round of "Good/Evil Faction" assessment hit the bottom. This also meant it was stable, and subsequent assessments could be ignored.

【"Killing/Saving" all intelligent creatures assessment in progress...】

【Assessment complete, current Good/Evil Faction: Chaotic Evil.】

Su Xiao suddenly discovered that he had thought of things too simply. Just now, the "Chaotic Evil" font was blood-red; now it was deep red.

Speaking of which, the fonts of the six "Good/Evil Factions" all had different colors. Good is a beautiful color, Friendly is gold, Neutral is blue, Chaotic is gray, Evil is dark gray, and Chaotic Evil is blood-red.

【"Killing/Saving" all living creatures assessment in progress...】

【Assessment complete, current Good/Evil Faction: Chaotic Evil.】

Su Xiao's "Good/Evil Faction" font successfully turned dark red.

【Detecting Hunter's current Void Tree Reputation...】

【Current Void Tree Reputation: -????】

【Final settlement assessment in progress...】

【Settlement error, re-judging...】

【Judgment complete.】

【About to establish the seventh sequence of "Good/Evil Faction" for you, which is: Extreme Dark Evil.】

【Your final "Good/Evil Faction" is: Extreme Dark Evil!】

With Su Xiao's Void Tree Reputation, this situation was within reason but unexpected. He tried to enter the world communication platform. Although he succeeded, he immediately saw an announcement appear in the communication platform.

【World communication platform has been opened for you.】

【Announcement (Void Tree World Communication Platform): Hunter Kukuline Bai Ye, whose "Good/Evil Faction" is "Extreme Dark Evil," has entered this world's world communication platform. Trading, cooperating, or talking with him requires caution.】

After this announcement appeared in the world communication platform, the atmosphere, which should have been dominated by the Soul Master climbing to the top with 3.57 million Shelter City reputation and hotly discussing the matter, suddenly went quiet. A moment later, someone broke the silence.

Siluoer (Sanctuary Paradise): "Good guy, this one is also a heavyweight."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Big brothers, can you stop messing around? I just came to mine for adventure. No one has dared to come and mine in this world for many years. I thought that as a senior Supreme Strong-tier miner, I should be considered a tough guy (mining without causing trouble counts as a tough guy), but with you guys doing this, I'm starting to panic a little."

Aurora (Holy Light Paradise): "Big brother upstairs~, need protection? Not only can I protect you, but we can also do things together that we both enjoy. As for the protection fee, it's 40% of your mineral income this time."

Siluoer (Sanctuary Paradise): "Mining brother, don't believe her. Her abilities are disease and life-based."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Hmm, the Sanctuary Paradise girl upstairs is right. Disease abilities are indeed vicious."

Siluoer (Sanctuary Paradise): "No, what I said was vicious is actually her life-based ability."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "This~, growing enemies into big meat balls? I feel that at most this is cruel, not vicious."

Siluoer (Sanctuary Paradise): "No, no, no. This woman's ability is the most vicious ability I have ever seen! None other. She once used her life-based ability to make taste buds grow on the end of an enemy's rectum!"

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "F*ck! What a vicious ability!!"

Bee: w(Д)w

Xilin (Apocalypse Paradise): "Indeed very vicious."

Hao Tao (Reincarnation Paradise): "Hahaha, what kind of shameless ability is this."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Hao Tao brother, I remember that yesterday, the Priest and Aurora discussed here and reached a cooperation. You seem to be hostile to the Priest, which means you seem to be able to match up with Aurora. That is to say, your rectum end might also..."

Hao Tao (Reincarnation Paradise): "Damn."

Bee: ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Fire Mage (Holy Light Paradise): "This little cutie above, why can she send emojis? So cute. Come, let sister hug you."

Bee: (`)

Siluoer (Sanctuary Paradise): "Fire Mage, don't tease Bee. You might die because of this."

Fire Mage (Holy Light Paradise): "Reason?"

Siluoer (Death Paradise): "The Priest will protect Bee. If I'm not mistaken, Reincarnation Paradise's Bai Ye won't watch this little guy die either. She is very important. Now she has dual-brand affiliation; she belongs to both the Dawn Paradise contractors and the Reincarnation Paradise contractors. Haven't you noticed that her name suffix doesn't even have paradise information?"

Black Demon (Dawn Paradise): "Sorry, in, Dawn Ruins, I lost. This time, temporarily, won't, forget you, my, friend."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Black Demon actually has friends? Speaking of which, Black Demon is a newly promoted Supreme Strong powerhouse, right?"

Mo En (Death Paradise): "After this world progress ends, it might be a senior Supreme Strong powerhouse. This is a world invaded by the Abyss, and it is Black Demon's absolute home field. Once it develops to the point where it can swallow 'Abyss Nourishments,' it will completely rise and step into the 'Monster Level'."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Many thanks to Mo En big boss for the popularization. Big boss, do you have time? Want to partner up to mine? I've been eyeing an area recently, but it's shrouded in darkness, and the risk of going alone is too high. Shall we join forces?"

Mo En (Death Paradise): "Busy recently. Can we do it in a week?"

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Okay. Fifty-fifty split then?"

Mo En (Death Paradise): "No, you put in more effort, I only provided protection. Three-seven is fine."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Okay! But if there are rare ores this time, and they are what you need, I can give them to you at the original production price, including mining and refining, until they are finished products."

Mo En (Death Paradise): "Thanks."

Bee: (＠_＠;)

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "Bee, want to come together? Although you have no combat power, your two backers are truly ridiculously strong."

Bee: ()

Seeing these conversations, Su Xiao felt quite surprised. He checked Mo En's "Good/Evil Faction" and actually saw "Good," which surprised him.

However, the "Good/Evil Faction" notarized by the Void Tree made Su Xiao realize a problem. This verified from the side that the Supreme Strong powerhouses of the Paradise faction were starting to become important to the Void Tree. At the very least, it would use the notarization system, and without interfering with the contractor's own choices and personal will, avoid Supreme Strong-level powerhouses dying in clashes between contractors.

In plain language, in the world communication platform, the danger level of all contractors is more clearly marked. For example, in Su Xiao's current situation, the font he uses for speaking has a black mist effect.

Checking the "Good/Evil Faction" of the Priest and the Soul Master, both were "Chaotic Evil." Su Xiao suddenly felt curious: if Caesar entered the world communication platform, what "Good/Evil Faction" would he have? "Greedy Neutral"?

Trying to open the Supreme-tier world communication platform, the "Item Trading, Consignment, Intelligence Consignment/Trading" functions appeared before his eyes like a faction shop list. However, each item was marked with a price; some were marked with Soul Coins, and some were simply marked with Space-Time Power.

After checking a few items, a skill scroll immediately caught his attention. This was a "Supreme-level Passive."

【Supreme: Stamina Lv. EX.】

Prompt: This is a "Supreme Passive" corresponding to the "Stamina Attribute." It is initially in an absolutely maxed state and cannot be improved in any way.

Quality: ★ (Such Supreme Passives are ★～★★★)

Skill Requirement: Promoted to Supreme Strong powerhouse, one empty "Supreme Passive Skill Slot."

Skill Effect 1: Awakens the potential power contained in the Stamina Attribute after promotion to Supreme Strong, allowing each point of current Stamina Attribute to additionally increase 5,000 points of "Base Health," 3 points of Body Defense and its characteristic cap, 5 points of Body Strength and its characteristic cap, and 5 points of All-Attribute Anomaly Resistance and its characteristic cap.

Prompt: This "Supreme Passive" can also be awakened after training through "Specific Secret Methods," but training and awakening through "Specific Secret Methods" carries high risk.

This ridiculously strong "Supreme Passive" was not priced particularly ridiculously, at 1.5 million Soul Coins. However, it should be more expensive in the Great Gathering Place, reaching over 2 million.

Previously, Su Xiao had asked Benny to inquire about "Supreme Passive" news in the Great Gathering Place, but it was only a slight inquiry. At that time, he was accumulating "Supreme Potential Points." After successfully promoting to Supreme Strong, he had even less money to buy one. It belonged to the category of "can't learn the poor ones, can't afford the excellent ones."

Encountering this 【Supreme: Stamina】 now, it clearly belonged to the ordinary goods among "Supreme Passives." But even this ordinary good had a ridiculously high strength. Presumably, the Supreme Passives corresponding to Strength and Agility would derive powerful attack abilities.

Assuming a minimum standard of 500 points in the main attribute for promotion to Supreme Strong, mastering this "Supreme Passive" corresponding to the lowest quality ability of the Stamina Attribute would immediately increase health by 2.5 million points, Body Defense by 1,500 points, Body Strength by 1,500 points, and All-Attribute Anomaly Resistance by 2,000 points.

The key is that this is not a simple increase, but a massive gain in the growth of the Stamina Attribute. Or rather, this is actually the strength possessed after promotion to Supreme Strong, it just needs to be awakened.

And this is still the weakest Supreme Strong powerhouse, successfully mastering the most ordinary Supreme Passive corresponding to body attributes among the Supreme Strong levels.

And this kind of weakest Supreme Strong powerhouse generally has 2 "Supreme Passive Skill Slots," one occupied by the "Supreme Strong" passive that must be possessed, and the other left empty.

It is obvious that this kind of "Supreme Passive" corresponding to one's own main attribute is the best choice for the weakest Supreme Strong powerhouse. With this ability, the weakest Supreme Strong powerhouse against the strongest Su Xiao at the Absolute Strong level—well, it's certain... he couldn't beat the Su Xiao of that time. When he was in the Dawn Ruins and hadn't yet been promoted to Supreme Strong, he clearly had a certain misjudgment of the weakest Supreme Strong powerhouse.

It was truly because he had been hammered too many times by those powerful enemies who had fallen from the Supreme Strong level to the Absolute Strong level, such as the Old Beast King, the Progenitor, the Wolf God Shien, the Abyss Guard Captain, and Shiman Achid.

These guys were all former Supreme Strong powerhouses who later fell to Absolute Strong. This gave Su Xiao, before he was promoted to Supreme Strong, the illusion that after promotion to Supreme Strong, even if he barely reached it, he would be in the same big echelon as these guys. He was already so strong at the Absolute Strong level that he was almost unable to beat them, and there was one he couldn't beat at all in their Absolute Strong state. And as long as he was promoted to Supreme Strong, he would inevitably be an enemy that Absolute Strong powerhouses couldn't face directly.

But after truly being promoted to Supreme Strong, he discovered:

Old Beast King, the former hidden "Super-Pinnacle Supreme Strong," claimed to be a "Newly Promoted Supreme Strong" in his prime, pitting many Sea Race Supreme Strong assassins to death.

Progenitor, although formerly a "Super-Pinnacle Supreme Strong," was nearly at the "Supreme Strong Peak."

Wolf God Shien, reached the "Supreme Strong Peak" not long ago.

Abyss Guard Captain, reached the "Supreme Strong Peak" and was also very high up in this echelon.

Shadow of the Abyss: Shiman Achid, also a ruthless man among ruthless men at the "Supreme Strong Peak" level.

Being hammered by these guys in turn, who wouldn't feel that Supreme Strong is particularly invincible? In fact, Supreme Strong does have an invincible echelon, but that is the "Supreme Strong Peak." Even in the Second Epoch, when the Astral Realm's combat power was at its peak—that is, when the Law-Exterminators and Magic Casters were in a bloody battle—some guys whose potential limit was only "Newly Promoted Supreme Strong" and who barely promoted up would be called "Pseudo-Supreme Strong." However, with the changing of eras, this term no longer exists.

Closing the sales list, Su Xiao confirmed that after he was promoted to Supreme Strong, he lacked a stage that would cause a qualitative change in combat power, which was mastering the "Supreme Passive" corresponding to body attributes. The good news is that his previous 900 points of body attributes, plus one of the three Technique Grandmaster abilities at Lv. 91, and the other two breaking through to Lv. 95—know that this requires specific source quality to achieve.

A more intuitive way to say it is that Su Xiao's previous Absolute Strong peak was because the Absolute Strong peak was just that strong. That was not his limit; it was the limit of the Absolute Strong peak.

And after the Technique ability reaches Lv. 90, that is what a "Senior Supreme Strong" should do. As for obtaining "Extreme Blade Source Quality" like he did before, making the Blade Technique Grandmaster reach Lv. 95 and mastering the Blade Technique Supreme-level Active "Extreme Blade: Bai Ye," that is what a "Senior Supreme Strong" in the later stages should do.

Not to mention, he also ridiculously made the Close Combat Grandmaster reach Lv. 95 through "Body Source Quality." This is clearly what a "Top Supreme Strong" should do.

And with body attributes averaging 650–700 points for promotion to Supreme Strong, his body attributes increased to 1,056 points for all four attributes after promotion. As a triple grandmaster, having this kind of body attribute is clearly particularly unreasonable.

And, whose proper Absolute Strong powerhouse has health reaching 8 million points and masters "Ultimate: Overlord Power," which adds +100 points to all attributes, exempts 20% of all damage, and increases the level cap of all technique abilities to Lv. 110? This at a glance is an ability that should be mastered when reaching the middle-to-high stages of Supreme Strong.

Adding these factors together, Su Xiao, who had not yet mastered the "Supreme Passive" corresponding to his main attribute, could still fight against powerhouses who had already mastered this type of "Supreme Passive."

Of course, there is another reason: he has always developed in a way where a flat slash is a big move. This is actually one of the three strongest routes for a Technique Grandmaster after promotion to Supreme Strong. If you don't calculate the terrifying resource consumption of this development method, this is the strongest choice in the technique route, none other.

This is why, since Su Xiao was promoted to Supreme Strong, although he hadn't had too many combat power improvements, he completely crushed the Elf Old Slave in this battle. Because when he was at the Absolute Strong level, he had already made many powerful improvements that would only be involved at the Supreme Strong level.

Previously at the Absolute Strong level, his strength was always suppressed, and when he was promoted to Supreme Strong, the explosive increase in potential in all aspects caused this strength accumulated at the Absolute Strong level to be released more slowly. And this battle with the Elf Old Slave allowed his accumulated power to be completely released.

The strength accumulated all along began to bloom at the Supreme Strong stage.

The Lord Train stopped in front of the majestic Sky Wall. It had been driving around the periphery of the Elf Kingdom for several hours, yet it still hadn't seen the entrance to the Sky Wall. Now it seemed that the entire Elf Kingdom was shrouded in this pitch-black Sky Wall.

The reason it stopped here was that Su Xiao saw a circular mark on the pitch-black Sky Wall. This was definitely left by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. The point was not the huge, eye-catching circular mark, but the puddle of urine at the root of the Sky Wall under the mark. Su Xiao didn't believe that anyone in this world other than Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could pee a wave shape over ten meters long.

This idiot must have been chased by some monster, but was also desperate to pee, so he just took a leak at the root of the wall while running.

Su Xiao looked at the Black Leech. The meaning was obvious: the Blood-Iron Hound is also a dog, with an amazing sense of smell. Helping to track Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang should be no problem.

The Elf Old Slave parasitized by the Black Leech had a dark face. Just as he was about to flare up, he hesitated again, and finally said in a low voice: "Just this once."

From over ten meters away, the Black Leech sniffed, then pointed to the west. The Lord Train started and drove slowly in the direction pointed by the Black Leech.

The Black Leech's tracking ability was unquestionable. A few minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's scent began to linger, but not long after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's scent disappeared.

"The scent, disappeared."

The Black Leech was puzzled, half-squatted down, and searched the ground for residue. Suddenly, a dog head appeared in front of him.

"Wang?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head, meaning "Hello there," and then successfully made eye contact with the Black Leech's Eye of Fear. What was worse was that the Eye of Fear had a certain degree of passive effect.

A few seconds later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a miserable howl and turned to run. As a result, he didn't run a few steps before his legs went soft, and he started running with soft legs while drawing a map along the way.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was afraid of ghosts. In that instant just now, his eyes went dark, and then there was a falling sensation. He fell into a large pit with a diameter of tens of meters, steep walls, and full of female ghosts in white clothes. Imagine a steep pit with hundreds or thousands of Sadako-like ghosts densely packed together like maggots, and then Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang fell in...

Half an hour later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, holding a cup of taro ball milk tea with his dog paws, had his nose twitching and sobbing. This time he was truly scared, leaning tightly against Su Xiao's leg, his whole body trembling. It seemed that the Black Leech had helped him break the bad habit of suddenly appearing in front of others and sticking his dog face very close.

Returning to the pitch-black Sky Wall, after several people got off the car, the Lord Train disappeared into a different dimension. Su Xiao raised his hand and pressed it against the pitch-black Sky Wall in front. The next second, the pitch-black Sky Wall he touched crystallized. After expanding to a certain range, the blue crystal part collapsed with a bang, revealing a passage leading inside.

"That direction."

The Black Leech pointed to the south, meaning that the Abyss Second Son, Soth, was over there. After weighing it for a moment, Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahar, Xilin, and the Pain Priest wait nearby, while he and the Black Leech sneaked in.

Following the direction pointed by the Black Leech, the two traveled rapidly for less than an hour before seeing the building complex ahead. Walking into it, a foul stench wafted over. This was a rotting and fermenting smell, coming from the chimneys hundreds of meters thick and thousands of meters high in the distance, which was the smell emitted by some forging waste.

Walking along the street, there were many Elf people. They were all dressed in rags and dirty. What was more unusual was that they didn't say a word as they walked. While they had a strong sense of purpose, they also exuded fatigue from the inside out.

With a thud, the sound of a skull hitting the street surface came. It was an Elf person not far away with withered and bent ears falling down, his head hitting the ground.

After he fell, his aura weakened rapidly, and he soon died. Just two minutes later, a huge horned beast iron cart stopped nearby. Two numb Elf people lifted the dead old man and threw him onto the iron cart. The pedestrians around had no emotional fluctuations; everything was numb and natural.

Su Xiao had been to many kingdoms ruled by evil. Those places were rampant with disease, poverty, crime, etc. But even so, one could still see traces of life in the civilians of those places, as well as a small sense of happiness from insignificant gains.

But coming here, Su Xiao only felt emotions of numbness, fatigue, and despair.

The Black Leech in a parasitic state led the way in front. After passing through the outermost residential area, factory after factory began to come into view. These factories were driven by giant steam machinery. The reason was that forging extraordinary weapons was not the wonderful magic one imagined, but required material grade and pressure at the physical level.

To generate huge physical pressure, there must be terrifying energy consumption. Compared to electric drive, steam drive is cheaper. As for the danger, how could Abyss descendants care about the life and death of the Elf people? Even if the "Steam Core" exploded, as long as it didn't affect the Elf breeding factory, it was a small matter.

Thud~!

A huge hammering sound came. The space around the factory where the loud noise occurred showed fine cracks. The Elf people located in that factory who only needed to perform simple operations to drive the machinery were instantly shaken into blood mist, but a new batch of Elf people immediately entered to perform the next round of raw material forging.

Su Xiao estimated that this Elf Kingdom might have hundreds of millions of Elf people. This kind of intelligent creature cluster, and each one was full of numbness, fatigue, and the despair of being suppressed by "Abyss Corruption" until the Elf people were dying.

That moment of erupting all the despair of a lifetime, even reaching the degree of quantitative change, also caused the blood of the Elf people here to appear dark gray-white when they died.

This made Su Xiao think that if an Evil God were to swallow negative emotions like numbness and fatigue here, plus the intense despair that erupted occasionally, this would simply be an ideal nourishing ground for an Evil God.

Thinking of Evil Gods, Su Xiao recalled green chili peppers, and the kind of green chili peppers with a particularly fierce spiciness. The reason is that this kind of chili pepper stir-fried with Evil God heart is truly great with rice.

As Su Xiao moved forward, he grabbed the corner of a passing building and crushed it with his hand to feel if there was any despair emotion soaked in it. In other places, this would be nonsense, but in this Purgatory City ruled by Abyss descendants, despair would definitely soak into the semi-weathered buildings.

The result was that the powder falling from Su Xiao's fingers had no despair emotion floating out. This meant that some existence was absorbing the numbness, fatigue, and despair here.

Su Xiao truly didn't believe that an old-school Abyss descendant like Dukain would make such a deal with an Evil God. They cooperated with the Goblin Chamber of Commerce because the Goblin Chamber of Commerce had a long enough history and was a top force in the First Epoch. The Dukain family had their own pride and vision.

In the eyes of the Dukain family, the Demon race, Feather race, and Devil race were just upstarts. The truly old-school powerful forces were still the Star race and Soul race. Even if these two had declined, they still had their heritage.

As for Evil Gods and gods, in the eyes of the Dukain family, they were just mongrels from nowhere. If the gods hadn't all passed away, Evil Gods and gods would just be the gods' gatekeepers.

And as for Ancient Gods, the Dukain family would give enough respect. Of course, this was the respect of being on equal footing with them, not the kind of respect for superiors.

In the final analysis, the only ones the Dukain family could look up to were Law-Exterminators and Magic Casters, although there was more hatred for the former.

Therefore, Su Xiao speculated that it was the Goblin Chamber of Commerce that mediated and facilitated the deal between the Dukain family and the Evil God forces.

Roughly determining this, Su Xiao hoped that this was a "Beast" Evil God. Tasting delicacies is not just about the deliciousness of the food itself; its origin must also be particular. Some humanoid or disgusting-looking Evil Gods cooking dishes with their ingredients clearly couldn't meet the conditions for inner enjoyment of delicacies.

Not dealing with the Evil God here for now, dealing with the Beast Master was more urgent. Su Xiao's plan to sneak into the Elf Kingdom this time could be described as simple and crude. First, the Black Leech parasitized the Elf Old Slave. This Elf Old Slave's status in the Elf Kingdom had reached the level of "Sub-race."

In the Elf Kingdom, there were a total of five status levels. The lowest level was "Corrupted," which meant they had been subjected to "Abyss Corruption" but hadn't reached the level of complete corruption. 99.9% of the Elf people in the city were "Corrupted."

It wasn't that the "Abyss Corruption" wasn't strong enough, but that the average lifespan of these Elf people simply couldn't live until they were corrupted to the second stage. And the second stage of corruption was "Sunk."

By this stage, they had passed the will suppression and had their wills completely surrendered to the darkness, becoming loyal slaves of the Abyss descendants.

However, this was not the final stage of "Abyss Corruption." The final stage was "Sub-race." For example, the Elf Old Slave was a "Sub-race."

By this stage, they would be completely loyal and submissive to the Abyss descendant who was the source of the "Abyss Corruption," and these "Sub-races" possessed long lifespans and some dark-type abilities.

Su Xiao estimated that the Beast Master's second son, Soth, must have many "Sub-races" around him. To kill him, one must be able to get close enough to this Abyss descendant.

Su Xiao thought of an excellent identity. The known intelligence was that the Dukain family was using the Goblin Chamber of Commerce to bridge the gap and do business with the Arcane Eternal Star. The identity Su Xiao wanted to disguise as this time was a Magic Caster.

Signaling the Black Leech leading the way ahead to stop, the two walked into a residential house. This house didn't lock the door. The Elf people here, as slaves, naturally had no personal assets to speak of, so there was no need or condition to lock the door.

Su Xiao took out a magic robe and put it on. There were still a few of these in the team storage space. He had slaughtered quite a few Magic Casters from the Arcane Eternal Star.

A black iron mask appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he put it on his face. This was very reasonable. Magic Casters from the Arcane Eternal Star coming here would worry about outsiders and being seen by outsiders having connections with Abyss descendants.

All forces in the Astral Realm that could be on the table were wary and guarded against Abyss descendants. Using the darkness of the Abyss to swallow worlds and thereby strengthen their own power was extremely hated everywhere. Abyss descendants had done plenty of this.

It was very simple for an Abyss descendant to harm a world. It only required one Abyss descendant to descend and then start "Abyss Corruption" on the creatures in the area, letting these creatures indiscriminately attack other creatures, accelerating the spread of "Abyss Corruption." Before long, the creatures of a world would all be corrupted.

The next step was even simpler: gather these "Corrupted," and then let them cruelly tear their own flesh and blood to evaporate "Source Life Force" to a greater extent. In the end, this Abyss descendant would get a world without living creatures, and a "Source Life Crystal Core" gathered from the life of all creatures in the world. This was an Abyss descendant.

The reason Abyss descendants weren't shouted at by everyone was because of their strength and immortality. Being killed by a Law-Exterminator's Magic Blade, they would be reborn in the Abyss a few years later and return to the material world, making Abyss descendants synonymous with fear and power in the Second Epoch.

With the reputation of Abyss descendants, a Magic Caster coming here and wearing a mask was an excellent choice.

Su Xiao walked out of the house, still with the Black Leech leading the way. Regarding how to disguise the aura of a Magic Caster, Su Xiao's 1,426 points of elemental affinity meant that as long as he let go of the repulsion, various natural elements would actively gather toward him, which had an aura nearly identical to swallowing natural elements.

Heading all the way to the city center, after arriving at the central teleportation platform, the sign read 12, representing that this was the 12th district. The Beast Master's second son, Soth, was generally in the 1st district or the underground district.

The Black Leech raised his hand and pressed it on the teleportation platform's controller, selecting the node coordinates of the 1st district. The next second, the teleportation started.

When the teleportation shimmer dissipated, the foul stench in the air disappeared, and there were no numb Elf workers on the road, but rather Elf civilians dressed in decent clothes. Their eyes were pitch-black at the bottom, and their soul aura had a sense of darkness.

These Elf people didn't come from breeding factories but were propagated in a natural way. Their parents, or the generation above, had already been "corrupted" into "Sunk," so they were born as Sunk Elves, with loyalty to the Dukain family engraved in their blood.

The Dukain family had only a hundred or so members in total, and the Beast Master's faction had only a dozen members. With the number of Elf people in the Elf Kingdom, the Beast Master's lineage naturally couldn't manage them all, so they needed these Sunk Elves to assist in the management of this kingdom and business with the outside world.

Faint sunlight shone down from above. Su Xiao looked at the sky. This was the preferential treatment bestowed upon the Sunk Elves by the Abyss descendants.

The streets were bustling with traffic. The number of Sunk Elves was conservatively estimated at over a million, making this city look very prosperous. Not only that, there were also profiteering businesses operated by the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, such as the "Eight-Star Astral Hotel" in the city center, which was a combination of a casino and an entertainment city.

And this "Eight-Star Astral Hotel" was nearly isolated from the outside 1st district. One needed to use teleportation means to enter and exit this place. This not only made gamblers from the myriad worlds feel that they hadn't come to the Abyss descendants' territory, but also gave the Abyss descendants a step down, saying that the Goblins' business didn't count as being on their territory.

This "Eight-Star Astral Casino," which used Soul Coins as chips, could be described as making money every day. According to the memory of the Elf Old Slave swallowed by the Black Leech, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce owned 20% of this hotel, the Abyss descendants owned 40%, and the Arcane Eternal Star owned 40%.

Right now, the Beast Master's second son, Soth, was on the top floor of this "Astral Casino," enjoying the joys and sorrows of gamblers from major races in the Astral Realm.

Hearing this, Su Xiao stopped. He took out a Soul Coin and flicked it with a ding. Before it could fall, it was grabbed by Caesar, who had suddenly appeared, and immediately went into Caesar's pocket.

"My dear friend, what has changed?"

As Caesar spoke, he was attracted by the towering casino in the city center, but he was certain that it was a building located in another space.

"The Black Leech just swallowed new soul memories. This is the 'Astral Casino'."

"Oh~?"

Caesar's "oh" had an interesting tone. The pale yellow pupil light appearing in his eyes made his sense of greed soar.

Su Xiao was also looking at the "Astral Casino," his eyes faintly showing a red glow. The Black Leech in front looked at the two of them inadvertently and suddenly felt terrified. That's right, as a Blood-Iron Hound, seeing the pale yellow pupil light and faint red glow in the eyes of these two, it felt terrified.

"My dear friend, Caesar has a bold idea."

Caesar said, his face showing a gradually lewd and greedy smile.

"I take six, you take four."

Su Xiao stated his position.

"Impossible, five-five at most. This is my bottom line."

Caesar was unusually firm, but this guy was only this firm when bargaining.

"The Black Leech also participated. It should get one share."

"Uh~, well, okay."

Caesar chose to compromise. He understood that Su Xiao was violent and ruthless when slaughtering enemies, and was also decisive in killing in normal times, but if it was cooperation, one should get a share of the reward if one put in the effort.

As for what Su Xiao and Caesar were plotting, the answer was simple: after entering the "Astral Casino," Su Xiao would be responsible for slaughtering the Beast Master's second son, Soth, and this would inevitably cause a commotion.

And Caesar, he was going to give the "Astral Casino" treasury a lesson it would never forget, letting it know what it felt like to have its body hollowed out. ===== CHAPTER 4006 =====
