Chapter 4054: Sacrifice?

Being in a world of the top tier is just like this. Anything can happen. One second they are plotting against each other, planning how to get rid of each other, and the next second they may be forced to join forces, just like Su Xiao and the current Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof.

Inside the office, the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, stood with his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face. After the two sides confronted each other for more than ten seconds, they almost said at the same time:

"You came too early."

"I came too early."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, who was only 1.4 meters tall with a large head and a withered body, narrowed his eyes, which were pitch-black at the bottom and pale blue in the pupils, because this old immortal felt the taste of his own kind. He continued to probe:

"Let's talk about it, how did you find out, kid?"

"The three of you joined forces to make the Second Era Alchemy Civilization completely perish, and after arriving in this world, you successfully established a kingdom instead of biting each other like dogs, which shows that the cooperation of your three families is still stable.

However, the Abyss catastrophe of the Star World made you and the gods unable to sit still. The old beast of Rune doesn't care, but it knows that when the dark doomsday tide invades, you two will send it away first, so this time, it must bet all its chips. Of course, this is also what it wants. The original sin of the Rune Family is the desire to fight."

Su Xiao rarely spoke so much at once, and the effect was significant. The Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, opposite him, no longer had a faint smile on his face. He leaped backward and stood steadily on the back of the chair.

"Bai Ye, you guessed nine out of ten correctly. We three families can't say we joined forces actively, more like being forced to form an alliance for defense."

The Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, didn't explain specifically. Compared to this point, his title for Su Xiao was a more subtle attitude. Before, he had always called Su Xiao Law-Extinguishing kid, obviously having the playfulness of an old immortal toward the younger generation.

But now, he called Su Xiao by the name Bai Ye directly, representing that this old immortal had already recognized Su Xiao from strength, strategy, etc., as an object that could cooperate with him on an equal footing.

For what Silgof said about the grievances between the three major forces and the Alchemy Civilization, Su Xiao was not interested. He now only wanted to know how to crack the "Causal Lock Ring" of this world. Only in this way would completing the main mission of this world and obtaining resources, etc., make sense. Otherwise, the mission time limit of the main mission would become his life countdown.

"Is it the Causal Lock Ring?"

Su Xiao learned about this highest achievement of the Alchemy Civilization in the Alchemy Codex, but he didn't expect that those Second Era alchemists would raise the "Causal Lock Ring" to such a terrifying level at this time.

"It seems that it was a wise choice for the three of us to bring you here. It's just that you came too early than expected. We weren't ready yet, and you came."

The Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, had an unchanged expression, but he was secretly worried about one thing: whether that old woman had done anything in secret. After all, she was a long-lived person who possessed the strongest divination ability from the First Era to the present.

Even the Law-Extinguishing practitioners of the past would listen to some of that old woman's suggestions, although the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, still didn't understand until today why that old woman said at the beginning to let the Law-Extinguishing practitioners trap the last fierce beast, Fei, in the deepest part of the ancient battlefield.

She also said that your future generations might need it. This was a choice she could see in the endless branches of destiny, which was not bad, but also full of mist.

When the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, was present at the scene, he was the protector hired by the old woman. The old woman was talking about how a little girl might take action against her, and let the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, guard against that little girl.

The Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, was still wondering who this little girl was. After arriving at the scene, he saw, good guy, it was Grin Gilian.

At the end of that meeting, the old woman also mentioned that it would be best to have a Law-Extinguishing practitioner to be a guard in the ancient battlefield for a long time. The old woman herself didn't know why, she just saw from the hazy destiny that at the end of the Second Era, it seemed that someone would go to find the fierce beast, Fei.

Thinking of these, the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, said: "Was it that old woman who invited you?"

"Who?"

Although Su Xiao knew that the old woman the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgof, was talking about might be the old woman he saw in the Abyss Spread Zone before, he still pretended not to know. This could get more information.

"The strongest diviner in the Star World. The last time she hired me was to deal with you Law-Extinguishing practitioners, saying something about letting you Law-Extinguishing practitioners trap the last fierce beast, Fei, in the ancient battlefield."

Hearing this, even with Su Xiao's strong heart, it was difficult to be calm. He felt before that it was too coincidental that the fierce beast, Fei

Su Xiao, however, did not have the feeling that his entire existence was being manipulated and arranged by a great hand in the dark.

He was merely astonished at the power of this Diviner, who could actually divine events of the Third Epoch during the early-to-mid Second Epoch, and after revealing such deep-seated destiny trends to the outside world, could still withstand the backlash of destiny's causality.

"The last Fierce Beast, Fei, is in the Ancient Battlefield? Are you sure?"

Su Xiao's acting skills had always been on point; they were honed through confrontations with the likes of the Old Lion, Kingsley, the Gray Gentleman, and the Priest.

"Don't bother thinking about it, it was killed long ago to extract its Essence Soul."

"……"

Su Xiao felt secretly disappointed; why hadn't he obtained an Essence Soul when he killed the Fierce Beast, Fei?

Seeing the genuine disappointment in his eyes, the Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, felt a sense of doubt, but these were all minor matters.

"So, among the three of you, who brought out the 'Heart of the Stars'?"

Su Xiao's question was not an inquiry, but a probe—probing the three major factions to see if each had an "Old Immortal," a term for those who had lived from the First Epoch until now.

"It was Hatu. That old beast handed this matter over to his subordinate, the Great Elder Baguli. The original plan was to use this supreme treasure and a chain of schemes to lure you here, but Great Elder Baguli made a complete mess of it. He re-triggered the destiny curse of that 'Heart of the Stars,' leaving only the Child of the World to seize it. Because of this, I and the leader of the gods, the Origin of All Phenomena, Halota, sent our subordinates to help recover this 'Heart of the Stars'."

The Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, did not hide his mockery of this, and he continued:

"That old beast's original plan was to immediately take back the 'Heart of the Stars' after luring you here. Even for us old fellows, the 'Heart of the Stars' is a rare sight. I have lived through three epochs and have only ever seen this one 'Heart of the Stars'."

The words of the Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, were truly thought-provoking, and what he said next was even more evocative:

"Since the four of us are in the same boat, let's not waste time probing each other. Let's do it tonight, at the Mechanical God Sect's cathedral..."

The Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly remembering that the Mechanical God Sect's cathedral in the Royal City had just been blown up by Su Xiao. He coughed lightly:

"Then let's discuss this at my Soul Zhong Ta. It's good that you come early; you can catch this round of the Dark Tide and won't have to wait for the next round, or even the one after that, as originally planned."

Leaving these words behind, the Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, leaped off the back of his chair and, with his hands behind his back, walked into a door that opened out of thin air. The door closed with an ancient and labored clicking sound.

Su Xiao watched the disappearing space door. The hint from the Master of the Zhong Ta, Xier Gofu, was already very clear: if Su Xiao really wanted to seize the "Heart of the Stars," it would be best to complete the task before this evening. Otherwise, once the cooperation was agreed upon tonight, he would not be able to go and seize that "Heart of the Stars," as that would count as malicious sabotage of the cooperation.

Yes, Su Xiao was prepared to cooperate with the Old Immortals of the three major factions. The current hostility between factions, the struggle for interests, and even the main quest could be temporarily set aside; resolving the "Causal Lock Ring" was the top priority.

Su Xiao's original plan was to have Reshma, as the Daughter of the World, seize the "Heart of the Stars," but this was based on the assumption that this "Heart of the Stars" was appearing for the first time. As it stood, this was not the case, and it might not even be the "Heart of the Stars" of this epoch at all.

If so, the causal curse on this "Heart of the Stars" would not be so terrifying. As for letting Reshma become the "Daughter of the World" for nothing, it was interesting to note that the previous operation was not intended to turn Reshma into a permanent "Daughter of the World." This was a Semi-Transcendent World, and the Daughter of the World here was very different from those in other worlds.

Therefore, Reshma's status as the Daughter of the World was more of an "experience card," lasting probably less than ten days, but in the original plan, this was enough to seize the "Heart of the Stars."

At this point, there was certainly no need for Reshma to seize the "Heart of the Stars," but as luck would have it, during the transplant surgery Su Xiao performed on Reshma, the process was... difficult, leading to the awakening of Reshma's fake cold-goddess personality. After this personality suffered until it collapsed and vanished, the real Reshma woke up.

Originally, Su Xiao only hoped that the "Imperial Squad" led by Reshma could clear up to the 10th Abyss Spreading Zone. Now it seemed that the truly awakened Reshma might be able to clear up to the 1st Abyss Spreading Zone.

Su Xiao went down to the second floor and arrived in the conference room where a massive array of spell patterns had been laid out. He sat in the center of the array. Under the current circumstances, this spell array, which corresponded to "Ultimate Soul Sublimation," would not have any issues.

He took out the "Ultimate Soul Sublimation" and placed it at the center node of the array. With a hum, the entire array was activated, and his brain felt a boom as he was plunged into a vast expanse of white light.

The scene before his eyes was all white light, but far ahead, there was a bit of black light, slightly higher than the ground level. Su Xiao walked toward the black light. As he approached, he saw that ahead were tangled tree roots. While the tree roots formed a bench, the top also formed a canopy. From a distance, it looked like a simple shelter, like a shack.

An earthenware brazier sat on this root shack, burning and emitting black light. In a world filled with white light, it held the tranquility and peace of mind of a dark night.

On the bench below sat an old woman wearing loose, coarse gray-black linen clothes. On the benches on either side of her were those same chubby black spirits. Seeing Su Xiao arrive, these black spirits jumped happily, making "Yi-Yi" sounds.

"……"

Su Xiao took out a "Soul Crystal Core" and crushed it with a snap. The dozens of black spirits stopped jumping and making noise. They all looked up at the old woman with eager eyes, just like children waiting for New Year's money, looking at their parents as if asking: "Can we take it?"

"Go ahead."

The old woman smiled kindly, the wrinkles on her face deepening. All the black spirits, like apple-sized rubber balls, came bouncing toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao scattered the soul stone fragments in front of him. The black spirits cheered "Yi-Yi" again, scrambling for the fragments. After grabbing one, they revealed mouths full of small, shark-like teeth and began to crunch and chew.

"Little Law-Breaker, come closer and let Grandma look at your hand."

"……"

Su Xiao stepped forward and raised his right hand toward the old woman. This time, the old woman didn't stroke it but lowered her head to look closely, perhaps because her eyesight was already failing. After looking for a long time, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Your experience and wisdom have allowed you to see through the deception. That is... good. Since this is something you are fated to face yourself, then Grandma will not share the burden for you. After all, I am old and can no longer swallow such powerful causality."

The old woman sighed, patted Su Xiao's palm lightly, and said, "I have lured that little fellow here. In a few days, help it establish a place to stay."

Hearing this, Su Xiao thought that what the old woman was referring to might be Dudu Gugu, and that in her divination, she had foreseen his desire to trade with Dudu Gugu, so she had used some method to lure Dudu Gugu into this world.

"Reason."

Su Xiao spoke. From the moment he first met this old woman, he had felt nothing but goodwill. He had always believed that in this world, there was no such thing as goodwill without a cause, nor was there any malice without a reason.

"That was a long time ago. I accepted an invitation from the Law-Breakers to discern a secret. It was just a transaction. I, Grandma, am not some mysterious and selfless ancient being. Since the beginning of the Star Realm, only one such ancient being has appeared, and it is in the Soul Library.

I, Grandma, am just a Diviner who has lived for a very, very long time. Perhaps because I have lived too long, I can divine more. As for why I am willing to help you, you, without knowing it, have actually helped Grandma send off many old friends who could not sleep in death."

After the old woman finished speaking, her gaze turned to Su Xiao's left hand, which wore the Black King's Armguard. The two most representative figures of this armguard were the Black King and the Eternal God of the Dead City. Su Xiao guessed that the old woman's old friend was the Eternal God.

In fact, it was not just the Eternal God, but also the Wolf God Xien, the Dead City's Saint Choir, and the Dead City's First Saintess—these were all the old woman's former friends.

During the Second Epoch, in the old woman's divinations, Su Xiao was merely someone who might have an intersection on countless future paths, and someone who might inherit the Law-Breaker of the Shadow system in the future, go to the Ancient Battlefield, and fight to the death with the Fierce Beast, Fei. Moreover, this was only one of countless possibilities; the old woman could see too many possibilities.

But by the Third Epoch, after Su Xiao used the blade in his hand to help the aforementioned individuals find eternal rest, he transformed from an irrelevant Law-Breaker who might rise in the destiny the old woman had discerned, into a Law-Breaker worth helping and who should be helped.

The old woman was the strongest Diviner in the Star Realm, that was true. The problem was that at this moment, her peering into Su Xiao's future revealed only a fog of destiny. He was already among that tiny handful of people in the Star Realm whose destiny she could not discern. That was why she had abandoned her original plan of helping from the shadows and had come out into the open, using the destiny she had observed in the past to help Su Xiao.

"Little Law-Breaker, you must remember, you possess a powerful soul, but do you really need it to be the blade in your hand? Let it be the blade in your heart."

The old woman raised her hand, gradually unfolding it to reveal a dense, glowing blade.

"The Light-Forging One is truly stingy. Grandma used up all the favors it owed me, and it only forged a Heart-Soul Blade. This might not be the best, but it is the best Grandma can give you. Don't look down on it, Little Law-Breaker."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the "Heart-Soul Blade," the length of a little finger, flew toward Su Xiao. As for the old woman saying it wasn't the best, that was not an understatement.

This "Heart-Soul Blade" was a few points short of being top-tier, but it was the best the Light-Forging One of the current epoch could forge. In fact, the Light-Forging One had only managed to forge this "Heart-Soul Blade" after temporarily awakening memories from the Second Epoch.

As for it not being the best, perhaps in Su Xiao's original destiny, he would never have obtained the "Heart-Soul Blade" at all, let alone one that was almost top-tier.

Moreover, there was one thing the old woman chose to hide: her time was running out. As a Diviner, living from the First Epoch until now was already incredible.

In the conference room where all the spell patterns had withered.

Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. Everything he had just seen was, of course, not an illusion.

【Prompt: Your Soul Strength has completed this promotion.】

【Because the initial state of Soul Strength is already at the "True Attribute Judgment Tier," it cannot obtain this type of improvement. Furthermore, you are not a soul-type, so you cannot perform a "leap" on the "Soul Strength" attribute (this leap refers to a massive increase in the base bonus of Soul Strength to all current soul-type abilities). Therefore, for this improvement, you can choose to significantly increase Soul Strength or bring a small derivative bonus to the Soul Strength attribute.】

【It has been detected that during this improvement period, you successfully absorbed the high-tier "Heart-Soul Blade," so you will have the following two choices.】

1. Soul-Devouring Heart (This trait will grant multiple exemption/immunity traits, but after mastery, you will enter an absolute upper limit).

2. Soul-Bathed Heart (This trait, the initial strength will be based on the state of your soul and heart; after mastery, it can bring benefits based on the growth of your soul).

Prompt: If you choose this trait, it will occupy 1 of your "Supreme Passive Skill Slots," depending on your current soul strength level.

……

Two choices: one is immediate power, but the upper limit is only so much; the other is not weak initially, but has extremely high potential for an upper limit. This concerns Soul Strength. How to choose is already very clear. Do not forget that one of Su Xiao's talent abilities is to increase Soul Strength.

【You have chosen "Soul-Bathed Heart," and this promotion will continue.】

Surging soul power churned within his body. Su Xiao felt a series of sharp pains in his head, as if soul power was undergoing some kind of fusion with his willpower? No, it was not fusion, but a state of synchronous resonance, where they were in the same state and linked to each other.

One hour later, this improvement ended, and Su Xiao finally got rid of the headache.

【You have completed this promotion.】

【Your "Soul Strength" attribute will achieve synchronization with your "True Willpower" attribute. This trait will ensure that your "True Willpower" attribute cannot be higher than your Soul Strength. Conversely, your "True Willpower" attribute will immediately increase to the same level as your Soul Strength, and subsequently, every time you increase your "Soul Strength" attribute, your "True Willpower" attribute will also increase, achieving a perfect resonance state between the two.】

【You have mastered the Supreme Passive: Absolute Will (Semi-Awakened State).】

【Absolute Will (Semi-Awakened State)】

Skill Effect: When facing mind-type, mental-type, soul-type, and all effects related to illusions, internal manipulation, control, etc., that require a Willpower attribute judgment, you will gain a judgment strength of +4344 (this judgment strength is 2172 points of Soul Strength + 2172 points of True Willpower).

Prompt: When the judgment of your Soul Strength and True Willpower attribute combined reaches 6000 points, this ability will complete its awakening, allowing you to gain an "Absolute Will" judgment that is 100% compatible with you.

……

【Prompt: Because your "Absolute Will" ability overlaps with the "Immunity to mental-type and mind-type control" bonus of Blade Master, this ability has absorbed that trait of Blade Master.】

【Your "Blade Master: Lv. EX" has been changed.】

【Blade Master: Lv. EX (Technique Core: Passive)】

Skill Effect: Blade-type weapon damage tier +1000 (increased by 20), blade-type weapon slashing power judgment tier +1000 (increased by 20), blade-type weapon armor-breaking judgment tier +1000 (increased by 20).

Soul-Slashing Strength: 60 points (increased by 10 points)……

……

The three basic traits of Blade Master increased by about 2%, while Soul-Slashing Strength increased by nearly one-fifth.

Overall, it was close to what Su Xiao had estimated. The exemption from "Immunity to mental-type and mind-type control" accounted for about 5% of Blade Master's total strength. Now that this trait had been replaced and stripped, the 5% freed up in Blade Master naturally increased other aspects.

Although Su Xiao temporarily lost the exemption from "Immunity to mental-type and mind-type control," his judgment for "Immunity to mental-type and mind-type control" reached +4344.

As it stands, although this is not as good as total immunity, it is more comprehensive. Moreover, as long as he subsequently increases his Soul Strength to 3000 points and completes the awakening of his "Absolute Will," it will not just be "Immunity to mental-type and mind-type control," but rather, while exempting such control abilities, other similar abilities will also have minimal effect on him.

Furthermore, this is an "Absolute Trait" ability with 100% compatibility. It is impossible to exchange for it from the Tree of the Void using an 【Immortal Will】 scroll. Ultimately, the "Absolute Trait" ability exchanged for has a 99.99% compatibility limit. Moreover, this kind of "Absolute Passive" trait ability, once it appears in the Tree of the Void's inventory, will be exchanged away immediately.

Regarding whether he can use "Great Father-level Sin Objects" after awakening "Absolute Will," Su Xiao is certain that he cannot. For Great Father-level Sin Objects, once you lose your sense of awe, you are close to death.

Just like with the Abyss, Su Xiao previously killed everyone in the entire Abyss Spreading Zone by himself. It looked like the Abyss wasn't dangerous either; many of the dark beasts inside were somewhat similar to common beasts.

Once you have that thought, that is when the real danger begins. You must know one thing: the Abyss Spreading Zone is not the "Abyss." It is a dark area that appears due to the unrestrained gain caused by Abyss energy pouring out of the Abyss passage and affecting the local world area.

This is just like the difference between dark creatures and Abyss creatures; there is a fundamental difference between the two. Dark creatures are bred in the Abyss Spreading Zone, which is the dark area of the local world. As for Abyss creatures, powerful Abyss creatures, unless they choose to do so actively, generally do not go near the Abyss passage.

They are all too huge. If someone leaves the Abyss near the Star Realm and heads into the depths of the Abyss, they will gradually see Abyss-type creatures that are so huge they are larger than a star. The largest Abyss-type creature detected in history had a size of about one-fifth of the Void. Fortunately, it is located deep in the Abyss, where there is no concept of matter, or even time.

Initially, at a low tier, you feel small compared to the world you are in, besides the planet, there is also the universe and galaxies.

After reaching a high tier, you feel that the world you are in is really small. But after knowing the existence of the Star Realm, you discover that the world you are in is just one of the worlds in one of the many layers of the Star Realm, and each world has a corresponding view outside the planet.

But in the concept of the Star Realm, this is just the scope of one world. The Star Realm is so vast that long-lived species cannot explore even one percent of it in their entire lives.

After reaching the top tier of individual combat power, you feel that although the Star Realm is vast, the scope of the ceiling is not as large as imagined—less than thirty high-tier worlds or Transcendent Worlds, and the Void above them.

But as you gradually learn, outside the elemental layer of the Star Realm is the vast and endless Abyss, which is infinite darkness. In the darkness, huge creatures that are unimaginable in size swim through the darkness. Once their low groans pass through the elemental layer and enter a world, the living beings of that world will all undergo mental mutation in a short time, falling into distortion and madness.

This reminds Su Xiao of another possibility: is the so-called Abyss Dark Apocalypse really just the elemental layer cracking and Abyss energy invading the entire Star Realm?

At that time, if the current Lord of the Abyss wanted to, with just one order, would those huge Abyss giants in the depths of the Abyss swarm up and, like sharing a delicacy, bite and crush the Star Realm that had lost its elemental protection?

You must know that the Abyss giant that is one-fifth the size of the Void is only what has been detected so far. The Abyss is infinite unknown and darkness. There is a very high probability that there are even larger, undetected Abyss giants.

Ultimately, people actually have a misconception: that the Lord of the Abyss perhaps does not want to break the balance, and that it is forced to endure the balance between the Abyss and the elements being broken.

But have you ever thought of another possibility? The Star Realm and natural elements are actually suppressing the Abyss, allowing this balance to continue. The Lord of the Abyss does not need the Star Realm, and even less does it need natural elements. When only the Abyss remains, for all existences in the Abyss, would it be better?

In absolute darkness, elemental power will surely be born again, because the Abyss/elements never exist alone for a long time. The problem is, elemental power can reappear, but can the Star Realm?

In fact, whether the Abyss darkness completely shrouds the Star Realm or the Star Realm is destroyed by Abyss existences, for Su Xiao, there is no fundamental difference.

What he must do is move toward the peak and prevent all of this. It is not that he is so righteous; he also lives in the Star Realm. If the Star Realm is gone, he will also die. Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly prevented.

Do the spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star not know this? Of course they do, they know it very well. Devouring natural elements to obtain supreme, crushing power is the foundation of the Arcane Eternal Star as the hegemon of the Void.

Once they abandon this root of power, the major factions of the Star Realm, which they have suppressed since the Second Epoch, will swarm up. Therefore, compared to being besieged and destroyed, they are more willing to drag the entire Star Realm down until the day the Abyss Dark Apocalypse arrives.

A ring that was pitch black all over, with darkness inside that seemed endless, appeared in Su Xiao's hand. It was the 【Endless Ring】.

【Abyss Sacrifice (Passive): When you kill an Abyss-type enemy, you will accumulate "Dark Sacrifice Value." The upper limit of "Dark Sacrifice Value" will be determined by the current equipment rating of this equipment. You can consume all current "Dark Sacrifice Value" to perform this sacrifice to the Abyss, thereby obtaining Abyss gifts based on the amount of this "Dark Sacrifice Value."

Current Dark Sacrifice Value: 270/270%.】

Su Xiao had previously cleared more than twenty Abyss Spreading Zones, killing enough to fill the "Dark Sacrifice Value." He originally did not intend to perform an "Abyss Sacrifice" in this world, both because of the threat from the three major factions and because he felt this behavior was somewhat dangerous.

Now, it is the exact opposite. For the time being, there will be no conflict with the Old Immortals of the major factions, especially the Old Immortal of the Rune family, the Ancient Patriarch Hatu; there will be no confrontation.

In this case, he can really consider trying to perform an "Abyss Sacrifice" to see what happens. Moreover, this is equipment notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, and the type column clearly writes "Gain-type equipment." Even if there is real danger when using it, it will not be too outrageous.

Su Xiao released the 【Endless Ring】 in his hand, letting it float naturally, and chose to perform an "Abyss Sacrifice."

A large amount of "Dark Sacrifice Energy" surged out from the 【Endless Ring】. This was not a sacrifice in the ordinary sense; rather, Su Xiao used this "Dark Sacrifice Energy" as a bargaining chip to sacrifice to the Abyss. This sacrifice consisted of consuming this "Dark Sacrifice Energy" to form a peculiar spell.

This circular, pitch-black sacrificial spell, which looked like a scar on the world, after a brief pause, saw crystal-like blocks of various sizes emerge from within. Then, as if a channel had been completely opened, various items scattered out until the circular spell continuously shrank and finally vanished into the air.

【You obtained 3.52 standard units of Initial State Precipitated Glaze (can be sold to the Tree of the Void; each unit can obtain 30,000 Precipitated Glaze).】

【You obtained 7.882 standard units of Ancient Bones (severely decayed, valueless, dangerous, requires sealing treatment).】

【You obtained an Unknown Abyss-type Creature Corpse (high activity state).】

【You obtained the Eye of the Magic Scythe (Second Epoch: Supreme Magic Scythe relic).】

……

This "Abyss Sacrifice" gave Su Xiao the feeling that he had used this sacrificial ritual to open a medium-sized sacrificial hole at a random location at the bottom of the Abyss.

Afterward, this sacrificial hole would erupt with a strange suction force based on the amount of "Dark Sacrifice Energy." What he could obtain depended entirely on what was at that part of the bottom of the Abyss and what would be sucked into the sacrificial hole.

PS: (Tomorrow is Sunday, taking a day off. My dear readers, please forgive me.)
