Chapter 4030: Breaking the Situation

Su Xiao closed the mission list and headed toward the depths of the Council Hall. He could perceive the faint Abyssal spreading feeling ahead.

Passing through a long corridor, a dark stone wall blocked the way ahead. This dark stone wall was uneven, and on it was the badge of the Ducain family. Clearly, this required a way to open the door, which was the content of the first ring of the real stage · main mission.

Su Xiao took out the 【Magic Universal Key】. The restriction of this black wall ahead clearly belonged to the category of "locks." He used the 【Magic Universal Key】 to touch the black stone wall ahead. A wonderful scene appeared: a phantom keyhole appeared on the stone wall ahead, and the 【Magic Universal Key】 was inserted just right.

Click, click, click~

The 【Magic Universal Key】 turned, and the dark stone wall ahead rose, revealing the darkness rushing down like a waterfall inside. It seemed that jumping into this rush would reach the "Abyss Near Area."

Su Xiao didn't forget what Dark Bishop Charles said before he died: the Ducain Holy Land was above the molten fire, and what was below was a trap.

As the 【Magic Universal Key】 finished unlocking, it floated in front of Su Xiao. The crying face and laughing face at the tail of the key turned rapidly, and finally, the crying face faced Su Xiao.

An adsorption force came, and Su Xiao's bad luck was swallowed by the 【Magic Universal Key】 a little. Hmm, it seemed, there was no particularly strong feeling.

"Facing the wailing: "Magic Universal Key" will swallow your bad luck, but if your bad luck amount does not meet the current swallowing of the "Magic Universal Key," it will change from wailing to anger, thereby starting to gnaw on your fate, leading to permanent damage to your fate.

Warning: If you use the "Magic Universal Key" multiple times within 10 natural days, then each subsequent "Facing the wailing," the appetite of the "Magic Universal Key" will be ten times larger than the last time, thereby swallowing your bad luck in massive amounts."

Su Xiao estimated that if he used the 【Magic Universal Key】 three or four times within ten days, it seemed there would be no problem. This made people feel complex. He didn't know whether to be glad that he could use this powerful bad luck item without cost, or to frown and think about how huge his own bad luck amount was.

Observing left and right, Su Xiao perceived something different on the black stone wall on his right hand. It was also fortunate that he had "Absolute Perception," otherwise he would definitely not have discovered the clue. He used the 【Magic Universal Key】 to touch this area.

Po~

A phantom keyhole appeared. Su Xiao twisted the 【Magic Universal Key】. After turning it once, the darkness rushing down ahead suddenly turned into flowing upward, rushing straight into the high sky.

The tail of the 【Magic Universal Key】 turned again, and the crying face faced Su Xiao. Compared to the last time, the bad luck of a magnitude ten times higher was swallowed by the 【Magic Universal Key】.

Su Xiao looked at the darkness ahead. Before he could walk into it, Amu had already reached one arm into it.

"Moo?"

"..."

Su Xiao nodded, indicating that it could enter. Amu jumped into the darkness flowing upward.

It had to be said that Amu's survival ability was very strong now. A moment later, Amu sent a "moo" in the team channel, indicating safety. Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha entered the darkness flowing upward.

Just for a moment, Su Xiao was shrouded in darkness, constantly moving upward.

【Prompt: Your main mission · Dark Holy Land has been completed.】

【Main Mission · Origin Family Badge (Triggered).】

【Main Mission: Origin Family Badge.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 99.

Mission Introduction: Destroy the "Origin Family Badge" of the Ducain family.

Mission Deadline: 5 natural days.

Mission Reward: World Evaluation Upper Limit +1.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Darkness, darkness so thick that it flowed like water, shrouded this place.

Su Xiao opened his eyes again and looked around. If it weren't for the Abyssal vision of the "Absolute Perception Circle," he would be unable to move an inch in this place.

Zzz~

Spirit Shadow Lines wrapped around Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. As for Amu, his Abyssal constitution allowed him to distinguish the direction, so following Su Xiao was no problem. Wanting to see the situation around him was still very difficult, but Amu seemed to have not-weak perception of the surroundings.

Moving forward in the darkness, not long after walking, a towering giant hall stood ahead. This giant hall was several hundred meters high, with a thin top, and the whole was composed of semi-molten dark metal.

Stopping at the tall door, Su Xiao saw the carvings on the door. This was during the glorious period of the Ducain family in the Second Era. Whether it was Lady Scorpion, the Twin Kings, or a powerful entity resembling a centipede, the momentum was exceptionally fierce. However, they were all predecessors, and the centipede powerful entity among them was even completely beheaded by the previous generation of Law-Killer.

Amidst the difficult opening sound of the door, this tall metal door actually opened by itself. It seemed that the existence inside was prepared to make a clean break with the Law-Killer faction.

Walking into the Holy Land giant hall, there were no pillars in the hall, and darkness diffused in the empty space. However, there were dots of white light flying in the air, like dancing fireflies.

Besides the wide stone table in the center, it was the pitch-black wall at the very back of the giant hall that was most conspicuous. Seeing it for the first time made people feel that it seemed like the Abyss behind this rock wall.

Located on this Abyss Wall, there were six black stone statues, but five of them were already shattered, which were:

"Mouth of Savage," "Mouth of Snake," "Mouth of Scorpion," "Mouth of Thousand," "Mouth of Leech."

The only one left was the "Mouth of Insect," which was much larger than the other black stone statues.

Arriving in front of the "Mouth of Insect," Su Xiao took out a "Ducain Family Badge" and stuffed it into the mouth of the "Mouth of Insect," which was open, with sharp, jagged, and malicious insect teeth.

Cracks appeared on the "Mouth of Insect," but one "Ducain Family Badge" was not enough to break the "Mouth of Insect." Seeing this, Su Xiao stuffed the remaining four "Ducain Family Badges" into the "Mouth of Insect."

Crack, crack, crack~

A large number of cracks appeared on the "Mouth of Insect," and finally it shattered with a boom. Not only that, the cracks also spread to the Abyss Wall behind it.

Thick black smoke surged out from the cracks. These black smoke spread along the ground like incense flowing backward, and soon shrouded the ground of this giant hall.

On the Abyss Wall where the cracks were densest, it fell downward like a broken eggshell. Not long after, an irregular hole several meters high appeared, showing the scene inside.

Dense black insects surged in the darkness. A black stone seat was located under the cluster of these insects. A figure over two meters tall, thin, with gray hair and dry holes on its face, sat on this stone seat with its head hanging down. Its gray hair over its shoulders hung down, and soft thorns spread out from all over its body, piercing into the surrounding space.

Or rather, it was piercing into the surrounding world, as if sucking. These soft thorns often had fluid coarse joints, gathering into the body of this existence.

This was the ancestor of the Ducain family, the holder of the "Origin Family Badge," Ducain Bain. From the level of causality, all natural Ducain family members were its descendants.

"Ha~"

The Ducain ancestor woke up a bit, spitting out white cold air from its mouth. Its left hand moved, and the joints made a "crack, crack" crisp sound. The soft thorns spreading from its whole body snapped and hung down.

The Ducain ancestor's eyelids trembled, and it suddenly opened its eyes. The bottom of its eyes was turbid, presenting a dark gray color. The eyeballs trembled and turned upward, revealing eyes with dozens of tiny pupils. These pupils were like insects, swirling and swimming in the same direction in the eyeballs.

"You are, the gift, brought to Ducain, by fate."

The Ducain ancestor raised its head. Malice, malice so strong that it polluted the surrounding world, spread from the Ducain ancestor.

Hearing this voice, Su Xiao immediately recalled the sentence he heard when he first entered this world, his consciousness was in darkness, and he hadn't woken up yet:

"Oh? There are still Law-Killers alive? This is truly, a rare guest."

That's right, that was exactly the voice of the Ducain ancestor. Now it seemed that whether or not he chose to trigger the real stage of the main mission of this world, the Ducain ancestor had already set its sights on him. Even if he chose to be safe and leave this world, what he would have to face later was the Ducain ancestor who had recovered its former strength.

This kind of situation made Su Xiao think of a possibility: back then, Abyssal Shadow Shi Man Achid caused irreversible damage to the "Origin Family Badge" of the Ducain family. After years of research, the Ducain ancestor seemed to have found a way to break the situation, but this way to break the situation was all the Law-Killer luck possessed by Su Xiao, the last Law-Killer.

In fact, the Ducain ancestor didn't hope that Su Xiao would come here now, because it had swallowed massive resources and sucked the Ancient Dragon Kingdom into this appearance. It was no longer out of reach to recover its former "Supreme Peak."

Unfortunately, the councilors and council chairman of this generation of the Ducain family failed to block Su Xiao's footsteps, allowing Su Xiao to enter the most core secret of the Ducain family, the Dark Holy Hall.

Looking at the Ducain ancestor opposite, Su Xiao jumped backward without hesitation and left the giant hall.

A teleportation formation composed of crystals spread under Su Xiao's feet. Because of the improvement of the Pride Song Crystal, the formation speed of the "Law-Killer Teleportation Array" increased by more than several times.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha's tacit understanding needed no words; they all stood on the "Law-Killer Teleportation Array" instantly.

Dong!

The Law-Killer Teleportation Array started. The Ducain ancestor was just about to raise its hand to stop it, but stopped. The reason was that in the past confrontations with the Law-Killer faction, it had seen teleportation arrays similar to this one. However, the vibration sound emitted by that teleportation array was far from what it saw at this time. Even so, that teleportation array was almost unstoppable.

A smile appeared on the Ducain ancestor's cracked face. It knew why this Law-Killer was so reckless, going deep into this place alone. And this kind of courage and decisiveness made the offense and defense change.

Before the "Mouth of Insect" was broken, the Ducain ancestor was in the area between this world and the Abyss. With Su Xiao's Abyssal studies, he was certain that the Ducain ancestor in this place was either unkillable or extremely powerful.

Su Xiao leaned toward the latter. The "Origin Family Badge" of the Ducain family had a problem, and the immortal causality power it bestowed was sharply reduced.

Confronting the Ducain ancestor in the Abyss Near Area, Su Xiao could only estimate one outcome: certain death.

Under the tyrannical impact of the "Law-Killer Teleportation Array," Su Xiao felt as if he had forcibly broken away from the dark quagmire. The surrounding world gradually recovered its light. Although it was still dim, compared to the Abyss Near Area, Molten City could be considered bright.

He summoned the Lord Train. After everyone boarded, the train started. On the train, Su Xiao looked at the darkness emerging in the Council Hall and controlled the Lord Train to enter the "Scarlet Train" state:

"Scarlet Train (Core · Passive), after this train enters the overload burst state, it can temporarily enter the second-stage super-acceleration. The driving speed increases to 450, consuming 10 points of train durability per second, lasting up to 30 seconds at a time. During this period, it can crash through 99% of types of barriers, sealing formations, etc."

The train's speed soared from 30 to 450. Even Su Xiao felt the weightlessness and pulling sensation. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang simply rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot. This was not a problem; he would recover after a while.

A dark giant hand with dozens of fingers grabbed and pressed down. Before the dark giant hand fell, the Lord Train broke away from its range and entered the different space form.

Boom!!!

The Molten City behind was pressed down by the dark giant hand. This world was like being pressed and leaked. Everything around began to be sucked into it. The speed of the Lord Train decreased uncontrollably, and the darkness behind surged over.

This was, after all, a +32 enhanced Lord Train. In the first few seconds of the darkness surging, it rushed out of the world collapse area, rushed out of the darkness, and in a very short time, the scene behind drifted away. Su Xiao saw this scene through the images inside the train and knew that this decisive battle had increased from zero chance of winning to one chance of winning.

Several hours later, in the forest land behind the Wutong Manor in the 15th district of Empress City, the Lord Train stopped. After Su Xiao got off the train, the crystal layer spread under his feet, shrouding this forest land with a diameter of several kilometers, assimilating 90% of the trees here into crystals, leaving only the surrounding trees as cover.

Under Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's command, Amu took out various instruments from the storage bottom warehouse of the Lord Train. Not long after, he assembled a biological cultivation device.

Stopping in front of this device, Su Xiao cut his left hand with Zhan Long Shan. Blood fell into the cultivation device, and purple-red flesh and blood began to grow inside. This had a very Zerg style.

Half an hour later, the cultivation device opened, and a Zerg avatar stood up from inside. Su Xiao pressed one hand on the head of the Zerg avatar, and a soul mark was gradually branded on the center of the Zerg avatar's eyebrows.

This was not the end. Su Xiao formed a mini-sized Law-Killer teleportation array, compressed it into a rune seal, and implanted it into the chest of the Zerg avatar.

Forming a single-person version of the world-level "Law-Killer Teleportation Array," Su Xiao let Baha be responsible for starting this thing, while he sat on a mechanical chair, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang used a mechanical arm to attach devices similar to electrode patches on him.

"Woof!"

"Hmm."

Seeing Su Xiao ready, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang started this ultra-long-range control device after identifying it with his dog paw.

Dong~ Dong!

Like an electric pacemaker, Su Xiao suddenly lowered his head, appearing to have fainted. In reality, the Zerg avatar standing on the single-person version of the world-level "Law-Killer Teleportation Array" suddenly opened its eyes.

"Boss, ready?"

"..."

The Zerg avatar controlled by Su Xiao nodded, and Baha started the world-level teleportation device.

Dong!!

Like a space explosion, large cracks appeared in the surrounding air, and the Zerg avatar disappeared from the spot.

More than ten minutes later, in the Eternal Light World, more than ten kilometers away from the Zerg Mother Nest base, a space explosion occurred, and the Zerg avatar flew out from the space rift. After landing, its body was less than 30% left. Besides the head, only part of the torso and most of one arm remained.

Super worker scorpions ran up, continuously spraying fluorescent green healing mist. The Zerg avatar recovered quickly. Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatus landed, and with a dragon roar, the endless Demon Flame Dragons around all lowered their heads.

The Zerg avatar raised its hand, signaling that Barbatus was not needed this time, but chose an elite Demon Flame Dragon that had pitch-black heavy armor all over its body and looked thick-skinned and huge.

Barbatus lowered its eyelids, looking at this elite Flame Dragon. This elite Flame Dragon shrank its body, but under Su Xiao's control, it spread its wings and flew up.

"Roar..."

Barbatus was just about to roar angrily, but after being looked at casually by Su Xiao, it held it back on the spot.

Looking down from above, the current Mother Nest base was already very spectacular. That star giant tree could not even be compared with the Mother Nest base.

Flying all the way toward the "Sea of Sand" direction of the Eternal Light World, this was the northernmost side of the Eternal Light World. When it gradually adapted to the space characteristics of this world, Su Xiao let the elite Flame Dragon land. The crystal layer spread from the elite Flame Dragon. This was Su Xiao crystallizing its biological energy to form a "Law-Killer Teleportation Array."

Dong!

The surrounding world became clear again. Su Xiao had arrived at the northernmost side of this world, the "Sea of Sand." As expected, the elemental power here was still violent and abundant. He had indeed opened several Abyssal channels in this world, but the reconciliation of the Abyss and elements needed time, and the "Sea of Sand" area had accumulated elemental power for too many years.

Assuming the total elemental amount of a normal high-tier world was 5000, then the total elemental power of the "Sea of Sand" was conservatively estimated at 3 million. The sand constituting the "Sea of Sand" was simply elemental power crystals.

Not letting Su Xiao wait too long, a dark purple space wormhole was generated nearby and quickly perfected. Not long after, a world-level space wormhole was constructed. This was Jila's war and aggression ability, but without Su Xiao's order, she would not invade any world.

Su Xiao stabbed his hand into the chest of this Zerg avatar, took out the mini Law-Killer teleportation array implanted in the Zerg avatar before. This thing could not be activated, but what was engraved inside was the coordinates of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom.

Su Xiao wanted to use the Zerg to deal with the Ducain ancestor? This was unrealistic. The Zerg could develop to such an outrageous specification in the Eternal Light World at the cost of being unable to leave the Eternal Light World. Coupled with the fact that the Zerg dealing with the Abyssal system was truly not a wise choice, especially since the Abyssal lineage had the "Dark Corruption" ability.

Throwing the mini Law-Killer teleportation array into the "World-Level Space Wormhole," Su Xiao waited for more than half an hour before this "World-Level Space Wormhole" was activated with a boom. Seeing this, he controlled the Zerg avatar and walked into it.

The dark purple space light flickered before his eyes, and the feeling of stepping on solid ground returned. The Zerg avatar had returned to the forest land behind the Wutong Manor in the 15th district of Empress City, Ancient Dragon Kingdom. The forest land that had been cleared by crystal assimilation before was now occupied by a giant "World-Level Space Wormhole."

The Zerg avatar shattered. Su Xiao, sitting on the mechanical chair, opened his eyes. He tore off the consciousness link device on his body. The chance of winning against the Ducain ancestor had increased to 30%.

The "World-Level Space Wormhole" ahead began to fade, not failing, but the war means of the Demon Zerg. As long as Jila, who was in the Mother Nest base of the Eternal Light World, wanted, in the next few months, she could rely on this "World-Level Space Wormhole" fused into the space of this world to quickly construct new "World-Level Space Wormholes" anywhere.

As for the biological energy consumed, as the gain of the Demon Zerg being unable to leave the Eternal Light World, the excess world power of the Eternal Light World could all be converted into biological energy through the Zerg Nest base.

Su Xiao boarded the Lord Train and took out a portion of "Abyssal Origin Matter." This container was modified by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang before. He pressed one end of the pressure valve, and the "Abyssal Origin Matter," which had been granulated by the micro-oscillation device, diffused some. He took out a hollow transparent container and sealed it.

Waiting for it to be still, Su Xiao found that the granulated "Abyssal Origin Matter" in the hollow transparent container began to move toward one direction. He immediately started the Lord Train and headed toward the direction where the granulated "Abyssal Origin Matter" was moving.

The further he traveled, the darker the surrounding environment became. After traveling thousands of kilometers, he entered the dense Abyssal energy spreading area. Ten minutes later, the Lord Train stopped near an Abyssal channel.

That's right, Su Xiao was finding the Abyssal channel of this world by letting the "Abyssal Origin Matter" leave the container and return to the Abyss.

Walking off the train and arriving in front of the Abyssal channel, he closed his hands and then stretched them. Spirit Shadow Lines as thick as a little finger were pulled out. These Spirit Shadow Lines spread toward the Abyssal channel, and the crystal sharp thorns at the tips pierced the world, forming a suture. He pulled hard, and the Abyssal channel completed the preliminary suture, followed by the most important follow-up processing. All Spirit Shadow Lines fused, and this Abyssal channel was closed successfully.

As long as Su Xiao was not dead, this Abyssal channel would not open in the near future. Coupled with the fact that this was a forcibly opened Abyssal channel, this world area still had a certain healing nature, and it wouldn't take long for this Abyssal channel to be completely smoothed out.

Closing the Abyssal channel was simple? The answer was of course no. When someone tried to close the Abyssal channel, the Abyssal creatures in the dark spreading area nearby and the Abyssal area at the other end would swarm over.

The problem was, in the Abyssal area near this world, where were there still Abyssal creatures that dared to provoke this Law-Killer killing god? They had been fished twice, and they weren't stupid. It was better if the Abyssal channel was closed. At worst, they would sneak to the Abyssal channel of other worlds.

What Su Xiao used was the secret method of the Law-Killer faction to close the Abyssal channel. Therefore, for others, it was almost impossible, but Su Xiao could do it. Coupled with the amazing speed of the Lord Train, the efficiency of the plan was higher.

Three days later, on the north side of the Corrupt Lake, after the Spirit Shadow Lines as thick as a finger tightened and fused, another Abyssal channel was closed. Just at this moment, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: Because you have closed more than 95% of the Abyssal channels in this world, you have obtained the recognition of the World Consciousness of this world (World Consciousness · Weakened State), and you will receive a "World Blessing."】

【When you are in this world, all your main attributes increase by 15%!】

【When you are in this world, your "Basic Damage Reduction" increases by 10% (currently 70%).】

【Your True Luck attribute permanently +20 points!】

【Your True Charm attribute permanently +150 points!】

【True Charm attribute increase failed.】

【World Consciousness is improving again...】

【True Charm attribute increase failed. Although this increase failed, it consumed too much for the World Consciousness of this world, which was already severely weakened. The World Consciousness of this world will fall into temporary silence, but the relevant bonuses while in this world will still take effect.】

Su Xiao clearly felt that the strange energy around him surged toward him, enhancing his physique.

The Lord Train started, and the target this time was the ruins of Molten City.

In the bedroom of the rear carriage of the train, Su Xiao sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed. When his state had been adjusted to the best, the Lord Train stopped.

Walking off the train, Su Xiao saw a distorted building in the distance. This was all the building wreckage of Molten City, all squeezed and fused together by huge power. Besides that, what met his eyes was the turbid earth heavily eroded by darkness.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the end of the hilt. The next second, huge "World-Level Space Wormholes" appeared behind him, as many as a hundred. After a short brewing, elemental crystal fragments from the "Sea of Sand" of the Eternal Light World surged out from inside.

It was not that the Ducain ancestor didn't want to stop Su Xiao, but it couldn't leave the Abyss Near Area. This was the root of its strength recovery. Once it left the Abyss Near Area before recovering to the "Supreme Peak," everything before would be wasted.

Or rather, Council Chairman Ergubaya could have completely blocked Su Xiao. At least if it were a life-and-death battle, it could have blocked him. Unfortunately, Ergubaya was pitted to death by Su Xiao using other methods.

Rumbling...

The whole world began to shake. After the massive natural elements surged into the dense Abyssal environment here, an equilibrium reaction between the Abyss and elements began to appear. Su Xiao was forcing the Ducain ancestor to leave the Abyss Near Area, which was the Dark Holy Land? No, he was using massive natural elements to make this Abyss Near Area disappear completely.

Elemental power spread rapidly. Su Xiao looked at the sky. He had instructed Jila before to open more "World-Level Space Wormholes" in the sky.

Not only that, Su Xiao controlled the Lord Train to close with a boom and drove away quickly. One must know that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were all inside, and the Demon Spirit was also in the train.

In front of one spectacular "World-Level Space Wormhole" after another, Su Xiao's aura was calm. He looked at the darkness brewing ahead.

Crack!

Crack!

Ahead, like glass shattering, the next instant, an impact surged over. Starting from the ruins of Molten City, nearly half of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom began to decay and corrupt. First, tiny black dots appeared in the air, followed by black insects drilling out from inside. From the earth to the sky, it was dense and crowded. The whole world seemed to have been eaten into a nest by insects.

This sense of oppression made people feel despair.

Except for those "World-Level Space Wormholes" in the cold area above, the rest were eaten through by black insects and became tattered. Correspondingly, the darkness shrouding Su Xiao ahead gradually thinned. This was the price of the Ducain ancestor leaving the "Abyss Near Area." Years of preparation were wasted.

Even this "Abyss Near Area," because of the spread of huge natural elements, coupled with the fact that there were too few Abyssal channels in this world, and the Ducain ancestor was forced to leave this place, began to detach from this world and would eventually be swallowed by the Abyss.

The elements stopped spreading, and the Abyss stopped invading. Standing on this dark earth, Su Xiao received a prompt from the Void Tree.

【Prompt (Void Tree): You have triggered a faction mission.】

【Faction Mission · Ducain.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 99.

Mission Introduction: Completely eliminate the Ducain family.

Mission Deadline: 1 natural day.

Mission Reward: Law-Killer Treasure Chest (Open this treasure chest to obtain a random Law-Killer faction item from the Void Tree's treasury.)
