Chapter 4102: Ascending

In the previous battle, Su Xiao felt that he did not have an unsolvable ability like the Red Beast Di Luo or the Deer God. In contrast, he obtained a "Peak Ability" that could extremely enhance his own physique.

Su Xiao determined that whether it was the Red Beast Di Luo devouring others' original life force to strengthen his own power, or the Deer God's undying fighting spirit and immortality, they were all "Peak Abilities." And the peak abilities he had seen before were generally in the initial state, so they were only powerful and didn't seem so outrageous.

"Source of Power," as a peak ability, its development direction was naturally to continuously enhance his own physique. Therefore, Su Xiao needed an ability to make up for this shortcoming caused by the "Peak Ability" having no combat power.

Green Shadow King could obviously take on this point. From the time he came into contact with this ability, in all records of the Law-Extinguisher faction, this was one of the strongest abilities in the Law-Extinguisher system. But to be honest, Green Shadow King had never been top-tier strong. Even the current version of Green Shadow King was only strong when facing sieges in the early and middle stages of the supreme realm.

The current Green Shadow King ability mainly brought recovery effects. Its "all main attributes increased by 45%" bonus could not bring gains to supreme attributes. Originally, Su Xiao thought that the qualitative leap of Green Shadow King was completed with 10 "Soul Energy Crystals." Now it seemed that was not the case. The "Second Heart Core" formed by overflowing supreme mana was the opportunity for Green Shadow King's qualitative leap.

Green Shadow King was the superior ability of the core ability Green Qing Qing Gang Ying, and the true strength of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying was only reflected after Su Xiao ascended to the supreme peak and completely awakened it.

As a superior derivative of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying, Green Shadow King most likely had this situation too.

The only problem now was how to ensure that after mastering "Ultimate Green Shadow King," he wouldn't die, and continue to enhance some supreme attributes? Absolutely not. A total attribute increase of 100 points was already enough to make Su Xiao faintly feel that exceeding this limit would cause problems in his ability system.

Go to the near-Abyss region first, and then go find the Deer God for a fight? Although feasible, there was a not-low probability of being hammered to death by the Deer God in his current state.

After two death battles with the Deer God, Su Xiao had a certain understanding of his abilities. The Deer God's combat power soared for a period of time after dying and being reborn. However, as time passed, this combat power peak would decay, probably permanently fixed at a level 2-3% stronger than the previous peak combat power. This was the part that became permanently stronger.

Even so, it was a very exaggerated ability. And no wonder the Deer God was called the Flat-Headed Brother of the Astral Realm. Life and death were taken lightly, and he would fight if he didn't agree. This guy was getting stronger the more he fought. The so-called God of War had to admit that this guy was the real big brother.

Through "Destined Advance"? Also not appropriate, unless it was a situation like "Original Sin causality," otherwise he couldn't easily borrow the power of "Destined Advance."

Speaking of which, Ayesha, the daughter of the Incubator, had already set off for the "Eternal City of Or," with the purpose naturally being to contact the Devourer squad. The five Devourers were the starting point for Su Xiao to break the "Original Sin causality." As for how many of them could survive, even if they all died, what was wrong with that?

Compared to relying on external objects, Su Xiao believed more in himself. He walked out of the "Exclusive Skill Upgrade Warehouse" and came to the blending table. He prepared to blend a potent "Life Secret Potion" for himself, with the effect of making his own life force extremely vigorous in a short time, avoiding his own death during the process of mastering "Ultimate Green Shadow King."

First was the storable time of this potion, directly lowered to E (potion strength characteristic was E-S). In terms of side effect offset, it was also lowered to E. The side effect was concentrated on the burning of "original life force." Su Xiao now had 34.08 million points of "original life force" in an overflowing state. As long as it didn't affect the "Life Core," it was a small problem.

Don't ever think that "supreme health" is easy to enhance after reaching the supreme peak. According to Su Xiao's observation, the Deer God only had two "Life Cores," and the Red Beast Di Luo only had one.

It wasn't that these two weren't strong enough; it was their race system that made it very difficult to accumulate life cores. The Deer God was a god system. For him to accumulate life cores, he not only needed "original life force" to overflow by 50 million points but also needed to inject "divinity marrow," a top-tier resource that didn't appear much in an entire era.

And as an Abyss race, the Red Beast Di Luo's difficulty in accumulating "Life Cores" was probably ten times harder than the Deer God's.

In the Second Era of the Astral Realm, a faction that used intelligence as its lifeline once calculated that among all races, the difficulty of humans accumulating "Life Cores" was in the T4 tier (difficulty was T5-T0).

The god system was probably T1.5-T1, and the Abyss race was definitely T0 difficulty.

All things in the Astral Realm were balanced at times. Humans did not have immortality, did not have the ability to be reborn. In contrast, when accumulating "Life Cores," when "original life force" was sufficient, they could complete the condensation. Precisely because they didn't have those immortality or rebirth abilities, they were purer and had no burdens.

Because they were purer, the comprehensive ability of human "Life Cores" was definitely T0 level. Taking the Red Beast Di Luo as an example, his life core shattered, only restoring a large chunk of his health, and did not immediately remove the erosion of Su Xiao and the Deer God's Green Qing Qing Gang Ying and Golden Power.

This also meant that to this day, although Su Xiao could not be reborn, as a "supreme peak" of the human race, he was also very hard to kill. Especially, he could continuously enhance supreme strength, which would make his number of life cores even more astonishing.

When there were enough life cores, reaching five, or even seven or eight, even if the enemy's attack was very terrifying and enough to bottom out his health, he might be able to withstand the current number of life cores + 1.

Speaking of which, along the way, because the enemies Su Xiao fought were too strong, he generally could only withstand a few attacks from the enemy. As for his attack power, cough—such a fragile body, is it unreasonable for his attack ability to be stronger?

After changing to the 【Peak Work】 title and pulling the potion effect to S+, Su Xiao began to blend the potion.

In less than an hour, the first bottle of "Life Secret Potion" was blended. Checking its attributes, after finding that it permanently lost 210,000 health points after drinking, he decisively gave up. The "original life force" was indeed a lot, but every point was precious.

Pulling the side effect offset to D, the second bottle of potion blending began. This time it took more than two hours, and the result was quite good. It could restore 3.5% of maximum health per second in the following few hours, but it had to be in a state of immobility and no external attacks. As for side effects, it permanently reduced 83,260 health points after drinking, which was acceptable.

The "Life Potion" exuded an alluring bright red color, with golden light particles flowing slowly inside. Just seeing it made people want to drink it in one gulp, as if doing so would gain endless life.

Su Xiao drank the "Life Potion" immediately because this thing could only be stored for less than 5 minutes at room temperature.

After getting off the train, he came to the "Stele of Awakening." After pressing one hand on the "Stele of Awakening," he looked at Ayesha on the side.

"Mm."

Ayesha expressed affirmation. This time there was no external risk. As for the risk from the "Stele of Awakening," from Ayesha's pitch-black eyes, it could be seen that it was not optimistic.

Baha flew out of the cathedral and began to circle over Sanctuary City to alert. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang behind Su Xiao went to activate all the defensive devices in the cathedral.

Su Xiao calmed his mind. His Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy gradually activated. On the "Stele of Awakening" in front, a section of ability inscription lit up with a deep blue faint light. This was the inscription content of "Ultimate Green Shadow King."

【Detected that you are trying to master the 'Supreme Passive' corresponding to the Green Shadow King. You can simultaneously perform an adaptive ascension on your current Green Shadow King ability. This ascension has risks and requires paying 238,000 ounces of space-time power. If you give up this ascension, your Green Shadow King ability needs to be ascended through the secret technique of the Law-Extinguisher faction.】

【You have chosen to pay space-time power to perform this ascension.】

【You need to choose a body attribute as the core attribute of the Green Shadow King. While the Green Shadow King is enhanced by this attribute, it will also bring unique feedback gains to this body attribute. You need to choose carefully.】

Supreme strength, agility, and strength attributes were very important to Su Xiao, who was a Blade Master. Even if this Green Shadow King was an ascension, if the attribute gains fed back were strong but did not conform to his current blade system, it would be a blood-collapse-level weakening. Conversely, the supreme intelligence attribute would not fear this point.

For Su Xiao, the main role of supreme intelligence was to provide enough body energy, which was mana. The 141,000 mana consumption per minute of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was indeed too astonishing.

With his current 30 million mana, it would only maintain the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability for 200-plus minutes, which was less than four hours. This was even counting the mana recovery during the period.

More importantly, the current mana consumption was not the limit of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability. This ability was Lv. 215 and could still continue to be enhanced. All of Su Xiao's other abilities could reach Lv. 110, which was already very remarkable. To reach Lv. 120, that was definitely a supreme top-tier ability. This Lv. 215...

Actually, as a Severed Soul Shadow, Su Xiao should develop strength, agility, and strength attributes, more precisely:

Severed Soul Shadow develops into: Strength, Agility, Strength, Blood (Health), Soul.

Intelligence attribute was needed for Breaking Sky Shadow.

Breaking Sky Shadow develops into: Strength, Agility, Strength, Blue (Body Energy), Will.

When Su Xiao inherited this system, there was no clear choice. The Samsara Paradise directly gave the default choice, which was to have strength, agility, strength, and intelligence all. Now it seemed that this was a blessing in disguise from some angle. If he didn't develop intelligence, body energy would definitely not be enough.

Right now, if he could turn the supreme intelligence attribute into an ability with huge gains for himself through the Green Shadow King ability, that would be a huge profit.

Feeling the effect of the "Life Secret Potion" enter the peak period, Su Xiao chose to master "Ultimate Green Shadow King." The next second, all the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body went completely out of control.

With Su Xiao as the center, the overflowing and surging Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy even pierced through the surrounding space. Seeing this, Ayesha raised her fair little hand and smoothed out all the holes in the space from a distance.

What exactly was the experience of enhancing "Ultimate Green Shadow King"? This indeed belonged to Su Xiao's blind spot of knowledge because five seconds after choosing to master "Ultimate Green Shadow King," he was successfully sent into a dream.

Eternal City of Or, 035 district.

The style here was very much like the early and middle stages of the electrical age. You could still see horse-drawn carriages on the street, or rather, the entire Eternal City was of this style.

It wasn't that there had been no technological development here; it was that it couldn't be developed. This world itself was full of eeriness and mystery, and the world consciousness was not friendly to technological creations. For example, the technological creations Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took out could indeed be used, but after a while, the exterior would become gray, and the usage wear was more than a hundred times that of a normal environment.

A light rain was falling. A burly figure, over three meters tall, wearing a dark green raincoat, walked on the cold street in the rainy night. He raised his hand and looked at his right palm, where a face the size of a goose egg emerged.

"Very close."

This face opened its eyes and spoke. Hearing this, the burly figure put on black leather gloves again. That's right, the burly figure was Dark Sun in the Devourer squad.

After Dark Sun left the 035 district, he immediately felt the peeking from the eerie buildings around. It seemed that eyes could open on these buildings at any time. However, his birth source was the "Eye Ritual," and he was of the same origin as these eerie things, so he was not attacked, provided he didn't actively provoke these eerie things.

The entire "Eternal City" was full of eeriness and unknowns, not only because this place was the base camp of the Underworld God Temple but also because it was an intuitive manifestation of "Meteorite Star." The birth of this supreme realm could be described in four words:

"Evil of Ancient Gods."

Most worlds were suitable for living things to live, and at worst, they could survive. The reason was that no matter what race of living things, only with living things would there be causality. Causality was like a lubricant for a world, making this world not dead and eventually withering toward collapse.

Meteorite Star did not need the causality of living things. Generally speaking, a world did not have individual consciousness, but Meteorite Star did, and not only did it have it, but it was also very evil and eerie.

After leaving the 035 district, the rainwater turned gray-black and was highly toxic, which made white mist rise on Dark Sun's body. The gift from the creator, the sun characteristic, made him fearless of this toxic gray rain.

The surrounding scene became more and more indescribable and dim. Dark Sun stopped his steps. He took off his leather gloves again. After a distortion of expressions on the face in his palm, the voice said with difficulty and pauses:

"Your destiny is inside. Opportunity, only once. You still have, ten minutes."

"Mm?"

Even if Dark Sun's brain wasn't great, he felt something was wrong. He asked in a deep voice:

"What happens after ten minutes."

"After ten minutes, the enemy, will, come."

Hearing this, Dark Sun no longer hesitated and strode into the ancient mansion ahead.

Boom!

Dark Sun broke through the door. Hiding in the dark, Crystal Ji, who was following Dark Sun, almost slapped her forehead with one hand, muttering: "This idiot, why did the divine oracle choose him?"

"Maybe, it's because he's stupid, easy to control."

Boiling Red Alisa hugged her chest with both hands. Her long boiling red hair was scattered. If it weren't for the crimson hair curling and floating by itself, it would have grown to the ground, like a grand banquet dress.

"It could also be a trap."

The Sun Apostle wearing round-rimmed glasses and short gray-white hair smiled and spoke. While speaking, he pushed his glasses. In fact, as things developed to now, he had already started to retreat, because everything currently was too smooth.

Escaping from the Painting World, apart from the internal opinions not being very unified, there was almost no resistance. The more so, the more afraid the Sun Apostle was in his heart.

So he proposed to move closer to the source of their birth, the Eye Ritual. At first, he thought about defecting to the Yargul School, but those ancient god scholars or wizards were equally dangerous.

If they knew they were born from the Eye Ritual, they would definitely welcome them with eyes shining. The subsequent outcome could be imagined: either being soaked in a huge glass column or undergoing inexplicable ritual tests.

Therefore, under the proposal of the Sun Apostle, several people defected to the Underworld God Temple. At first, the Underworld God Temple couldn't be bothered to ignore them, but upon learning that they had betrayed the Law-Extinguisher Bai Ye, the Underworld God Temple expressed welcome.

Subsequently, whether it was arriving at Meteorite Star or going to the giant hall where the Eye Ritual was set up, breaking free from all the creator's constraints on them, it was very smooth. The divine oracle enlightenment obtained now was something that other Eye Ritual system practitioners dreamed of.

Just upon learning that Dark Sun had obtained the divine oracle enlightenment, the Sun Apostle's only feeling was scalp-numbing. He really wanted to escape immediately, but a kind of intuition told him that he couldn't escape. The seemingly dangerous Eternal City was the safe haven that belonged to them. That madman full of blood energy, who slashed demons and killed gods, had already come to this world.

That was something the Sun Apostle absolutely didn't want to face, and didn't dare to face. Unlike Black A's confidence at all times, the Sun Apostle was very clear about the wall-like strength gap between himself and the creator. As for winning by strategy, forget it. Last time, being calculated by this madman and the priest, he didn't even know how he died. If it weren't for the sun characteristic, there was really no possibility of rebirth.

"You are afraid."

Black A, wearing a tattered black robe and carrying the "Abyss Meteor" greatsword on his back, spoke. His pitch-black eyes had dark red pupils, and no emotional waves could be seen.

"Of course I'm afraid. I'm very timid, and I'm scared to death now."

The Sun Apostle smiled and spoke. The other three thought he was joking. In fact, what he said was the truth.

Inside the ancient mansion, Dark Sun, who broke through the walls all the way, reached his destination at the fastest speed. This was a room engraved with full of old spells. Dark Sun took a deep breath, and punched the ground.

With a boom, the floor shattered, and Dark Sun fell to the underground palace below with the shattered stone layer. Under the guidance of the face in his palm, Dark Sun's sun embers flew, forcing back the grievances and ghosts that were screaming and attacking, and rushed to the core area of the underground palace.

There was a huge stone coffin here, and the soul-type undead creatures surging around were already as numerous as the tide.

"Blazing Sun!"

Dark Sun shouted angrily. His eyes turned into dazzling gold, and sun flames surged out with a "whoosh," temporarily forcing back the undead that were surging from all directions like the tide.

Boom!

Dark Sun forcibly lifted the stone coffin. There were no bones inside, only a pitch-black stone slab. The moment he stared at this thing, Dark Sun felt as if eyes had opened on it.

Unable to care about anything else, Dark Sun's large hand grabbed this pitch-black stone slab and rushed out of the underground palace. Because he was very restrained against the surging undead, it only took a few minutes for Dark Sun to break through the encirclement, leap back to the basement of the old mansion, and rush back to the ground along the stairs.

Just as he returned to the first floor of the ancient mansion, Dark Sun found that this ancient mansion seemed to be coming alive. The surroundings rumbled, the walls dissolved, and the ceiling gradually turned into black tentacles. A sense of fear from the bottom of his heart made Dark Sun rush out of the ancient mansion.

The moment he left the gate of the ancient mansion courtyard, Dark Sun felt the light rain again.

Almost at the same time, three of the twelve bishops of the Underworld God Temple hidden in the surrounding area, as well as the four hunting brigades of the Wizard Hunting Group, quietly withdrew at the same time. The reason was that they had all received the order from one of the four original sins, Slaughter Richmond. In the Underworld God Temple, this person was only second to the Underworld God.

Slaughter Richmond not only let the three bishops withdraw but also issued a second order, which was to let Archbishop Saul come forward in person to let the Devourer squad leave the "Eternal City of Or" immediately.

Why did Slaughter Richmond do this? The reason was that just now, with Dark Sun's touch, the multiple seals sealing the black stone slab were shattered.

Slaughter Richmond immediately sensed what was sealed inside this black stone slab. After careful observation, the strong Original Sin aura made Slaughter Richmond think of a possibility.

What was sealed inside this pitch-black stone slab was the "Original Sin Book" held by that Law-Extinguisher.

The Underworld God Temple was powerful, this was correct, but if they were targeted by several original sin objects in the "Original Sin Book," it would really be enough for the Underworld God Temple to peel off a layer of skin. To this day, all major forces in the Astral Realm could not understand how this Law-Extinguisher sealed so many big-daddy-level original sin objects.

The answer was actually simple and unexpected, which was to maintain awe, and have a sufficiently strong sealing study as support.

Sanctuary City Cathedral, in the room on the third floor.

Su Xiao sat in front of a silver array waiting. The diameter of this silver array was about five meters. Just now, the little elf Popoli from the Soul Library came here. The book Su Xiao wanted to borrow was finally unsealed. A moment later, it would be teleported over.

As for why it wasn't like in the past, Su Xiao went to get it, because that thing couldn't leave the "Soul Library" in an ordinary way. First, the Soul Elder of the Great Library had to unseal it, and then the Ancient One would banish it here.

While thinking, a golden-white brilliance appeared on the array ahead with a hum. A metal book half a meter high gradually rose from the array. This book was made of metal, and there were three metal faces on the cover. The left face was an angry middle-aged man, the middle was an old man, and the right was a cold and proud female face.

This was the "Sage's Code" sealed in the "Soul Library." While containing powerful knowledge, it also had huge risks.

In 99.9% of cases, the Soul Library would not lend this code, but because Su Xiao's situation was indeed special, as the sealer of six original sin objects, the risk of the "Sage's Code" was obviously within an acceptable range for him.

A moment later, the "Sage's Code" floated in mid-air, and the array below dissipated. For this, Su Xiao paid 200,000 library silver coins. Of course, if the "Sage's Code" was returned, he could take back the 200,000 library silver coins temporarily deposited.

The content recorded in the "Sage's Code" was divided into three categories: the first was dark knowledge, the second was array technique knowledge, and the third was sealing study, which was also the most profound sealing study in the current Astral Realm.

However, all this required a prerequisite, which was to get the approval of the three sages on the "Sage's Code," and then he could learn the strongest sealing study in the Astral Realm from the old face above, which was the "Silent Sage."

The three faces on the "Sage's Code" awakened. "Forbidden Sage (male face)," "Silent Sage (old man face)," and "Soul Sage (female face)" all looked at Su Xiao. It reached the most critical test stage.

"You." x3

The Forbidden Sage, Silent Sage, and Soul Sage spoke at the same time, and then all fell silent.

Seeing this, Su Xiao felt bad. Wasn't there supposed to be a test? Could it be that the negotiation with the three sages went through a charm attribute judgment? In that case, with his -36 charm attribute, after the three sages said "you," there was no follow-up, which was a normal but unacceptable result.

Su Xiao raised his hand and tried to awaken the middle old face, which was the Silent Sage. As a result, he easily awakened the other party.

"Law-Extinguisher, your current situation is not yet suitable for mastering the knowledge I carry. You need a sufficiently stable environment. This place is not."

The Silent Sage's voice was serious, but between the lines, he was expressing that he was very willing to teach Su Xiao the top-tier sealing study in the Astral Realm.

It was obvious that Su Xiao passed the test inexplicably. Why was this? The answer was that the test of the three sages was not to make things difficult for the possessor, but to determine their destiny, whether they could bear these knowledge that were either cursed or too powerful. And Su Xiao's -13 million luck already represented everything.

Coupled with the fact that he was the holder of 【Origin Stone: World】, with this destiny volume, the three sages chose to ignore the so-called test because it had no meaning.

Su Xiao tried to put the "Sage's Code" into the team storage space. After a slight spatial fluctuation, the "Sage's Code" disappeared. The team storage space could not contain living things in terms of existence meaning. Now it seemed that the three sages were special existences.

After doing all this, Su Xiao sat on the crystal chair and pressed one hand on his chest to feel himself. He successfully mastered "Ultimate Green Shadow King."

【Prompt: Your Green Shadow King ability has completed ascension.】

【Current Green Shadow King energy: 0/100 points.】

【Detected that current supreme mana overflows by 8.2 million points. Do you want to convert it into Green Shadow King energy limit.】

【This conversion has been performed. Your 'Green Shadow King energy limit' is permanently increased by 820 points.】

【When 'Green Shadow King energy' is at full value, you can enter the Green Shadow King state at any time. In this state, 1 point of 'Green Shadow King energy' is consumed per second.】

【Detected that you have chosen the supreme intelligence attribute as the Green Shadow King's gain attribute. The current supreme intelligence attribute is 402 points, and corresponding intensity gains have been performed on the Green Shadow King ability.】

【The Green Shadow King ability will bring unique feedback gains to this body attribute. You can choose one of the following gains.】

1. Strength Constitution: After mastering this characteristic, every 1 point of supreme intelligence attribute increased subsequently will increase 0.2 points of strength characteristic (strength characteristic is the growth gain brought to one's own physique after enhancing supreme strength and agility attributes).

2. Soul Wisdom: After mastering this characteristic, every 1 point of supreme intelligence increased subsequently will increase 10 points of soul strength.
