Chapter 4103: Waiting

Strength constitution was certainly good, but as a Severed Soul Shadow, one of the body abilities that Su Xiao needed to stably improve was the soul. Although his talent ability, Soul Eater, could stably improve, this was a god-level talent in the early, middle, and late stages. In the late stage, the improvement brought by this talent ability was obviously not enough.

Su Xiao immediately chose "Soul Wisdom." Every 1 point of supreme intelligence increased subsequently could increase 10 points of soul strength. For other peak powerhouses, this was not a very large gain, but for him, devouring a "Supreme Passive" once was an 80-100 point total supreme attribute gain, which was a gain of thousands of points of soul strength in a single enhancement, which was quite an exaggerated improvement.

It was a pity that he hadn't mastered this characteristic before; otherwise, his soul strength would have been heading straight for 5000+. Currently, his soul strength was only 2472 points, so weak that even the "Absolute Will" ability could not be fully awakened, leaving it in a semi-awakened state.

If a soul-type powerhouse knew that 2472 points of soul strength was related to the word "weak," they would inevitably subconsciously clench their fists and prepare to fiercely punch the person who gave this statement, and it must be a punch that had been quietly fully charged.

【Your supreme intelligence attribute has completed enhancement.】

【As your supreme intelligence attribute increases subsequently, the comprehensive intensity of your Green Shadow King ability will also be enhanced.】

【Green Shadow King: Lv. EX (Ultimate Skill)】

Skill effect (State 1: Demon Shadow - Active): After opening, all your supreme attributes increase by 20%. For every enemy killed (the enemy needs to have a sufficiently high existence rank, such as Abyss-nourished creatures, elemental spirits, powerful Astral Realm existences, etc.), by ingesting the enemy's "original life force," through the conversion and filtering of the "Green Shadow King: Devouring Core," restore 25% of your maximum health, 25% of maximum mana, 25% of maximum stamina, 25% of Green Shadow King energy, and obtain 1 layer of "Demon Spirit Battle Armor."

Demon Spirit Battle Armor: The damage you receive within 1 second will not exceed 20% of your maximum health. The excess part will consume 1 layer of "Demon Spirit Battle Armor" layers to resolve (if the required attack intensity to resolve is too high, more layers of "Demon Spirit Battle Armor" will be consumed to resolve).

Current maximum layers of Demon Spirit Battle Armor: 5 layers.

Prompt: Maintaining this state will consume 1 point of Green Shadow King energy per second.

Current Green Shadow King energy: 5/920 points (Green Shadow King energy can recover naturally, estimated 36 hours to recover to full value).

Warning: Maintaining the Green Shadow King state for a long time will lead to "Blade Demonization." When "Blade Demonization" exceeds 70%, it will be irreversible.

Prompt: Your current true will attribute determines your resistance to "Blade Demonization."

Skill effect (State 2: Extinction Shadow - Active): Immediately consume all "Green Shadow King energy." The next attack causes "true damage" equal to 150% of the enemy's lost body energy.

Green Shadow King had two states. State 1 didn't need to be mentioned; this was a god-level skill when in the Abyss. Killing enemies not only restored health, mana, and stamina but also restored "Green Shadow King" energy. There was a problem: staying in the "Green Shadow King: Demon Shadow" state for a long time would lead to Blade Demonization. Once Blade Demonization exceeded 70%, it would be permanently irreversible.

Su Xiao suddenly thought of one thing: under what circumstances would a Law-Extinguisher who mastered this level of Green Shadow King become Blade Demonized?

Mastering this level of Green Shadow King must have reached the peak realm. This was the threshold of the Extreme Green Shadow King.

Su Xiao only thought of one possibility, which was when he had to fight in the Abyss, facing the endless immortal Abyss-nourished creatures, he might really fall into such a situation.

In the current Astral Realm, there was only one Blade Demon, located in the Void. A conjecture appeared, which was whether the appearance of this Blade Demon represented one thing.

The current known information about this Blade Demon was likely all forged, or even forged at the level of usurping causality, in order to hide an ultimate secret.

And one of the most important major events in the Astral Realm was the decisive battle between the Tuanzhang and the previous Lord of the Abyss.

At that time, did the Tuanzhang really enter the Abyss alone? Or rather, was the predecessor of the Blade Demon the only previous generation Law-Extinguisher who survived the battle between Law-Extinguishers and Spell-Casters, and was in the Samsara Paradise camp at that time?

This was not impossible. The Samsara Paradise had a Law-Extinguisher inheritance system. Reverse reasoning, if there was no such surviving Law-Extinguisher, the Samsara Paradise would not have such a perfect Law-Extinguisher inheritance system. It was very difficult to do this just by Marwen and others applying for notarization.

The Tuanzhang and the previous Lord of the Abyss had a decisive battle and inevitably entered the Abyss. If facing endless immortal Abyss-nourished creatures and "Ancient Abyss existences," even the Tuanzhang would not be able to confront the previous Lord of the Abyss again. By the time he killed his way to see the previous Lord of the Abyss, he was already fast exhausting his strength.

So someone paved the way for the Tuanzhang. That's right, it was this surviving Law-Extinguisher. He not only paved the way for the Tuanzhang in the Abyss but even possibly, in the Green Shadow King state, held off the endless immortal Abyss-nourished creatures and powerful "Ancient Abyss existences" who were reinforcing the previous Lord of the Abyss.

The Tuanzhang at that time was in the supreme realm, which was transcending the supreme tier. The problem was that the previous Lord of the Abyss was also in the supreme realm.

The specific result was unknown. The previous Lord of the Abyss disappeared, the Tuanzhang fell to the supreme peak, and the Astral Realm gained a Blade Demon.

Ask, why did the Starry Sky Seat let the Blade Demon, who often had no reason and was dominated by slaughter most of the time, join? Because the creator of the Starry Sky Seat was the Tuanzhang, and the Blade Demon was his close friend, always had been.

And, the life and death of most Blade Demons in history were not in battle, but on the road of gradually finding themselves. When the Blade Demon found himself, it was the time of his death.

This also caused a phenomenon. From the First Era to now, there were a total of six Blade Demons. In many records, these six Blade Demons would be treated as one person. This was also why the origin of the current Blade Demon was often contradictory, because that was simply the life experience of six people.

This also made it more convenient for the Tuanzhang to forge the identity of the current Blade Demon. This concerned a secret that the Starry Sky Seat must never let the outside world know. Even, among the eight members of the current Starry Sky Seat, only 0-number Black Law and the Tuanzhang as number 2 knew this secret.

And, the Blade Demon was the number 1 member of the Starry Sky Seat. He didn't quite understand before why the Tuanzhang was not the number 1 member. Now everything made sense.

This was also why, to this day, the Arcane Eternal Star had never intended to besiege the Blade Demon. The Blade Demon himself was a supreme peak, and this matter really couldn't be done. The reputation of the Arcane Eternal Star among major forces was already not very good, and if they besieged the Blade Demon, the reputation would be even worse, and the Tuanzhang would be offended to death.

Su Xiao had a doubt before, which was the attitude the Tuanzhang showed when he was in the low and middle tiers, just like an old friend, especially after joining the Empty Seat Banquet. It seemed that this was also because the Tuanzhang had Law-Extinguisher friends in the past and knew Law-Extinguishers better.

Although "Green Shadow King: Demon Shadow" had the risk of Blade Demonization, the good news was that the higher the will, the slower the accumulation of the "Blade Demon Slot" in the "Green Shadow King: Demon Shadow" state.

Su Xiao's current true will was 2472 points. Increasing soul strength by 1 point increased true will by 1 point. What was even more wonderful was that increasing supreme intelligence by 1 point increased soul strength by 10 points, and true will could also increase by 10 points.

In this way, if he really confronted the current Lord of the Abyss in the past, Su Xiao could pave the way for himself. He could kill his way to the location of the current Lord of the Abyss alone. Whether it was powerful immortal Abyss-nourished creatures or "Ancient Abyss existences," those who blocked the way would be slashed.

The intensity of "Green Shadow King: Demon Shadow" was impeccable, and even survival ability soared by a large notch. But in battles with strong enemies, the second state of Green Shadow King, "Extinction Shadow," was even more fierce.

If it were the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy before awakening, it wouldn't highlight the fierceness of "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow," but now:

"Green Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 215: Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 30% of the enemy's maximum mana..."

Su Xiao actually always cared about one thing, which was that he had seen enemies with 800% maximum health, but he had indeed never seen an enemy with more than 100% body energy, which was, after the enemy took three slashes from him, the body energy was almost gone, and the fourth slash was completely empty of mana.

The problem also lay here. If the enemy was a powerful melee type, then things would be troublesome. By then, the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability would basically be useless. The enemy had no body energy, and Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy could not burn energy, thus failing to cause true damage.

"Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow" perfectly made up for this point. When the enemy's mana was empty, a strike with "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow" would cause extremely terrifying true damage.

Taking Su Xiao himself as an example, his 30 million mana, empty mana taking a hit from "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow," that was 45 million true damage. Don't ever think that this was just a damage number. With this kind of true damage, the enemy's body being shattered on the spot was a normal situation.

Not to mention 45 million true damage, even if it was 10 million true damage, taking a hit, soul, causality, and existence levels would all have problems. Yes, when one aspect was pushed to the extreme, the level it could affect would be very terrifying.

A more terrifying point of "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow" was that the skill attribute wrote:

"Next attack," not "next melee attack."

What did this represent? As long as Su Xiao's next attack intensity was enough to carry "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow," he could completely use "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow" from a medium-to-long distance. And "Extreme Blade: Green Ghost" was a good choice. The characteristic of Green Ghost was speed, fast to the extreme.

No, it couldn't be called "Green Ghost" now, it had to be respectfully called "Extreme Blade: Green King."

Although "Green Ghost" was extremely fast, there was ultimately a possibility of being avoided. In a death battle, it was safer to slash "Green Shadow King: Extinction Shadow" in melee.

Looking at the time, the time limit for the main quest 2 was still very abundant. He prepared to go on a long journey, but before that, he first had to adapt to his physique after his total supreme attributes were increased to 402 points.

Click, click, click—

The Law-Extinguisher teleportation array formed under Su Xiao's feet. With a muffled sound, he appeared again, already in the Abyss spreading area near Beast Town.

Ahead was a thousand-meter-high pitch-black world hole, shaped like a pitch-black and dilapidated giant door, with wisps of darkness surging from inside.

Zing—

The long knife was drawn from its sheath. The Law-Extinguisher, shirtless, with the long knife in his hand pointing obliquely at the ground, walked toward the Abyss door ahead.

Eternal City of Or, west side, a decaying swamp area.

Dark Sun walked with difficulty in this place, feeling the power continuously released from the black stone slab on his back, and his own continuous strengthening. His gaze became more and more determined. As for the ring mark that appeared inexplicably on his right index finger, he didn't know why, and didn't want to know. The power obtained was real, and that was enough.

What was even more wonderful was that when the Underworld God Temple was preparing to expel Dark Sun and others, before the Underworld God Temple could express its position, Dark Sun hurriedly left the "Eternal City." Although Dark Sun was not good at strategy, he understood the crime of harboring a treasure. He wouldn't be stupid enough to continue staying in the Eternal City after obtaining such a treasure.

To this, the high-level officials of the Underworld God Temple let out a long breath. As long as these five guys could take away that original sin object and give up the plan achieved by using them, it was very worth it.

At this moment, a few dozen kilometers behind the foul-smelling swamp, Black A, Boiling Red, and the Sun Apostle all had rare determined gazes. They were incomparably certain of one point, which was that they must seize the treasure obtained by Dark Sun. This was their only opportunity to break the situation, and also a method to obtain powerful strength.

"Boiling Red."

Black A spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, Boiling Red Alisa raised her right hand slightly, and surging crimson energy emerged. She said in a low voice:

"God Speed."

This group of crimson energy entered Black A's back heart. After the flesh and blood on Black A's whole body surged for a moment.

Boom!

Black A's speed soared more than ten times. A moment later, a roar came from ahead, and the muddy water bloomed like a huge flower, splashing toward the surroundings.

Sun embers dissipated in the air. At the center of the battle, Dark Sun, who had been besieged by Black A and the others for several rounds, fell to the ground, his chest rising and falling violently. Even so, he still desperately hugged the black stone slab with one hand.

Patter, patter—

Black A walked on the muddy water. In the hot and humid environment, he looked down coldly at Dark Sun, stepped on Dark Sun's face with one foot, pushed his head into the mud, leaned over, and forcibly tore the black stone slab from the other party's arms.

"I can feel it calling me."

Black A laughed rarely, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. Black tentacles spread on his hands, entangling the black stone slab. As the binding force strengthened, the black stone slab began to shrink. When only the size of a book was left, Black A opened his mouth, looked up, and forcibly swallowed the black stone slab.

Crimson, the Sun Apostle, and Crystal Ji who arrived all saw this scene. The purpose of the three was very clear: first intercept Dark Sun, and then compete for the black treasure. As the saying goes, those who are capable will get it.

"Hehehe, hahahahahaha!"

Black A laughed wildly. No need to think, he knew that "Laughing Ghost Face" had successfully transferred to him.

Normally, "Laughing Ghost Face" couldn't do this. The problem was that Black A and Dark Sun were highly homologous, and "Laughing Ghost Face," which had completely parasitized Dark Sun, successfully carried out the transfer, especially since Black A was in a state of very chaotic consciousness.

Why would this happen? The answer was that the fifth page of the "Original Sin Book" sealed in the black stone slab was partially opened, and the "Big Daddy-level Original Sin Object" on the fifth page was named "Nether Bone Ring," symbolizing the original sin: Power.

"I finally understand. Everything is the creator's conspiracy. I, we five together, are complete. So... let me eat you all."

Black A gripped the hilt of the "Abyss Meteor" greatsword stuck in the ground with one hand.

Was Su Xiao's target Dark Sun? Of course not. Dark Sun was stupid enough, so he could be the trigger of this plan, but not a good finisher. And the ambitious and sufficiently strong Black A was the best finisher.

What did Su Xiao need Black A to do? Actually, it was very simple: endlessly crave power from the "Nether Bone Ring," mobilize the Original Sin causality, so that it would be more convenient for Su Xiao to "catch" this causality and break it.

In fact, the whole plan was very simple, but the five members of the Devourer squad often fought with the air, so their behavior was sometimes inexplicable.

Use "Laughing Ghost Face" to parasitize Dark Sun. After deep parasitization, let "Laughing Ghost Face" quietly change Dark Sun's thoughts, letting him actively look for the pitch-black stone slab that sealed the "Original Sin Book" inside.

The moment Dark Sun saw the pitch-black stone slab, the five members of the Devourer squad officially fell into purgatory.

The causality of the five of them was closely connected. Dark Sun was influenced by the "Nether Bone Ring," and the other four would soon be influenced too, no matter how far they were from Dark Sun. This was a big-daddy-level original sin object.

After being influenced by the "Nether Bone Ring," it was the five members of the Devourer squad competing for the pitch-black stone slab, and then let them perform as they pleased. The more wonderful, the better. As for whether the two major forces in this world were messing up, were the Underworld God Temple and the Night Mother's camp crazy? Why would they get involved with the "Original Sin Book" for no reason?

Sanctuary City, Gran. The Lord Train stopped in front of the cathedral. Su Xiao, who was wrapped in quite a few blood-stained bandages, walked off the train. He needed to rest now. After fighting in the near-Abyss region for more than ten hours, even if Green Shadow King could restore stamina, the mental and soul fatigue brought by high-intensity combat could not be restored.

Fortunately, after ascending to the supreme peak, the human race's born god-level skill "Sleep" ascended again with his strength. Returning to the large room on the third floor where the "Stele of Awakening" was placed, smelling the natural floral fragrance in the air and the warm color layout, he fell asleep on the velvet carpet.

A palpitation made him suddenly open his eyes. After carefully feeling for a moment, he was satisfied with the state of the "Original Sin Book" side, and he fell into sleep.

I don't know how long he slept.

Knock, knock, knock—

It seemed like the sound of someone knocking on the window made Su Xiao suddenly open his eyes. He sat up and found that he was in a strange room. Apart from the ceiling, the surroundings were made of grid windows. The unknown outside was howling wind, making the grid windows make a "da da da" shaking sound. This was a place that was very insecure both internally and physically.

Knock, knock, knock—

A knocking sound came from the ceiling. Suddenly, the howling wind outside blew away all the grid windows around, and the howling wind swept in. His consciousness began to blur because of this.

Su Xiao raised his hand for no reason and grabbed at the empty space beside him.

Squeak—!

A mouse-like cry came from his hand. Everything around disappeared instantly. Su Xiao opened his eyes. He was still in the room on the third floor of the cathedral. Outside the window, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful, and there was no howling wind. On the contrary, his left hand, which was a combat prosthetic limb made of Pride Song crystals, was holding a deep-sea creature that looked like a mouse, with a long pointed head and a mouse tail full of black scales.

This thing was called "Tun Yu," a deep-sea creature that was not strong in frontal combat but was very dangerous. It would quietly target prey, track it by drilling into the other party's dream, and when the prey fell into sleep, it was its home field. After destroying the prey's consciousness in the dream, Tun Yu entered the molting period and completely controlled the body it possessed.

For others, this deep-sea creature was useless, but for Su Xiao, this was a treasure. He had obtained a "Hunger" before, and he didn't know if it was anorexia or a stubborn temper, but it actually didn't eat the Black Maple Tree branches he fed it.

It wouldn't enter a state similar to indigestion unless it ate 5-7 times its body volume of Black Maple Tree output in a short time, and it wouldn't produce the "fat-like substance" with strong life-soul characteristics. This was the main material for blending "Life Soul Secret Potion."

Regarding the effect of "Life Soul Secret Potion," when the original life force withered to the point of dying, drinking "Life Soul Secret Potion" would at least extend life for thousands of years.

Su Xiao was certain that the day of the decisive battle between him and the Arcane Eternal Star was not far away. The terrifying resource consumption of "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow" made him need a windfall.

There were actually quite a few powerful old immortals in the Astral Realm, some of whom were about to die of old age. They couldn't refuse "Life Soul Secret Potion," and the families that relied on them to deter the four directions were willing to cut meat fiercely for these family ancestors.

Su Xiao's idea was very simple: let "Tun Yu" eat "Hunger," replace it, and then let it eat "Black Maple Tree output," thereby producing "fat-like substance" with strong life-soul characteristics.

Coming to the "Stele of Awakening," Su Xiao pressed one hand on it. It was still the original process. All 150 Law-Extinguisher skill points obtained were refined, and the 30 refined Law-Extinguisher skill points were all poked into Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

At first, everything was normal, but when the enhancement was about to be completed, faint stinging pain came from all over his body, which made his expression solemn. Enhancing Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy from Lv. 215 to Lv. 245 was outrageous to the extreme. If it continued to be enhanced without any prerequisites, it would hide bigger problems.

Now letting the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability reach Lv. 245 was already the load limit of 400 points of supreme strength. It was estimated that after enhancing supreme strength to 500 points, he could consider continuing to enhance the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability.

After meditating for a few hours, Su Xiao's aura calmed down. He checked the enhanced Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability.

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 245 (Active/Passive Skill - Fully Awakened State)】

Usage condition: After activating the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 231,000 mana points per minute.

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 36% of the enemy's maximum mana (or other supreme body energy) and cause true damage equal to 1.25 times the burned mana, which is 45% of maximum health true damage. The enemy will suffer "severe pain" after the mana burn.

Defensive form: Pride Song (Passive), can generate crystals of any form to defend against enemy attacks. The crystal strength is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The single mana consumption limit is 10% of the current "maximum mana," and the crystal layer defense rank +109.

The mana consumption of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying was getting more and more outrageous. In contrast, the intensity was also very outrageous.

Just at this time, a communicator on the side rang. After connecting, it was Zuiyasi's father-in-law, Chief Cleric Bergman.

A noisy hissing sound came from the opposite side, just like being in an area where a large amount of sand and gravel were surging and rubbing, making the communication signal poor. The content was very simple: let Su Xiao go to "Innsmouth," which was the current base camp of the "Yargul Academy."

It was worth mentioning that the "Second Asylum" was also in "Innsmouth." Su Xiao's Bounty 1: Heart of Madness currently belonged to the "Second Asylum."

Regarding the "Heart of Madness," Su Xiao would choose to trade if he could, and if he couldn't trade, then grab... cough, it should be after physical-level intense communication, the spoils obtained. Well, it was indeed a hard grab. Going to the asylum to reason with lunatics was very difficult.

Void, Arcane Eternal Star.

The magnificent Elemental Superconducting Tower stood between heaven and earth. This was the highest and most magnificent building in the Arcane Eternal Star.

Crack!

An elemental thunderbolt fell and was absorbed by the receiver at the top of the Elemental Superconducting Tower, making this building have more mystery and historical sense.

Outside the door of the top floor room of the Elemental Superconducting Tower, Mage Sage Sephilia, Gale King, and the new dean of the Zhongshi Academy, Angry Sea Hells, were all here.

In fact, Angry Sea Hells was not very suitable to be the new dean, but all unsuitability was not worth mentioning under his supreme peak strength. That's right, this was the unknown peak realm of the Arcane Eternal Star, the ocean disaster who was obsessed with continuously enhancing his own strength, Angry Sea Hells.

Only Soul Lord was missing, and the leaders of the four major factions of the Arcane Eternal Star would be gathered. Soul Lord was on Meteorite Star, dealing with the Law-Extinguisher, and was absent at this time. Others couldn't say anything.

"Supreme, what is the matter with finding us?"

Mage Sage Sephilia spoke in a deep voice. It could be seen that her mood was very bad. Last time, she was blocked on the Demon Train by Su Xiao and didn't dare to get off, almost making her "Dao heart shattered." The enemy she could kill at will in the past, although he didn't hurt her at all this time, gave her extreme humiliation and blow.

"Not clear."

Gale King was rarely serious. Angry Sea Hells on the side was silent. He belonged to the style of not opening his mouth easily, and once he opened his mouth, he could choke people to death. It wasn't that Angry Sea Hells' emotional intelligence was not enough; it was that he didn't care at all about others' impressions and feelings of him. If he was unhappy, he would just kill them.

Knock, knock, knock.

Sephilia knocked on the metal door, but there was no sound inside. Seeing this, she pushed open the door. The empty and huge dim room came into view. A solid high seat made of golden elemental power was located in the center of the room. A figure was leaning on it. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he gradually opened his eyes. It was the Supreme Person. He asked the three people present:

"Has Marwen's disciple achieved the peak?"

"Yes."

Gale King answered righteously. Hearing this, the Supreme Person seemed to nod.

"Not enough yet. He still, cannot bear it."

The Supreme Person closed his eyes and slept leaning on the elemental high seat. For the Law-Extinguisher who had reached the supreme peak, he didn't have fear, but looked forward to it. The last one who made him look forward to it was the Tuanzhang. Unfortunately, the Tuanzhang failed to take the step to the absolute peak, which also meant that he didn't reach the minimum line required by the Supreme Person.

Even if the Supreme's powerful strength would eventually end with the long passage of time, and the Supreme Person didn't want to welcome this end, so he needed another powerful person in the supreme position to seize his causality.

Unfortunately, he waited for a long time. There were indeed those who asked for the supreme realm, but he didn't wait for the supreme rank.

As for saying that the Supreme Person would lose, don't joke. Even if he reached the supreme level that transcended the supreme, and even if he broke through the supreme level later and achieved the supreme realm, he was still not the opponent of the Supreme Person.

As a result, even if the Astral Realm was completely invaded by the Abyss and entered the Abyss Era, the Supreme Person still didn't care, because the current Lord of the Abyss being able to reach the supreme realm was also what the Supreme Person wanted to see.

The Supreme Person had no opponents and was invincible. His only enemy was the long passage of time, so long that even Ancient Abyss existences and Astral Realm existences would decay.

And, in the ancient era before the First Era, the Supreme Person was already waiting like this, to this day.

This was also why the Supreme Person had been overlooking all living beings waiting, because everything that happened before and now, he didn't care, and he only needed to wait.
