Chapter 4123: Crushing and Reputation
Drip, drip.
Dark blue blood dripped onto the water surface. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, holding the "Sealing Weapon: Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" with both hands, had muscles knotted all over his body. He roared loudly in a state of loss of composure. The trident in his hand pushed forward with all his might.
With a clang, power boiled. Under full force, coupled with the power-boiling effect of "Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves," the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo successfully curbed the terrifying human race ahead and continued to press with successive slashes. As a price, he retreated several large steps, his mouth full of shark teeth bitten into cracks, and his body felt as painful as if it were being burned by fire.
Without waiting for the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo to have half a breath, the sound of wind breaking came toward his face.
"Extreme Blade: Return."
The long blade slashed down fiercely. The slashing power of this blade was equivalent to the peak power of the enemy's previous strike.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's combat experience was indeed rich. Feeling something was wrong, he grew two twisted but strong arms from a few inches under his armpits to hold "Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" to block. The characteristic of this weapon was that while granting power boiling, it could block some supernatural power. The problem was that he was now facing pure slashing power.
With a muffled sound, the seawater under the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's feet shook into a semi-circular giant pit. He broke through layers of air waves and flew backward. The two arms holding "Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" were severely twisted, causing this weapon to be almost embedded in the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's chest.
After flying out for more than ten kilometers, tentacles exploded from the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's back to immediately terminate the backward momentum. After spitting out a large mouthful of dark blue blood, the trident in his hand stabbed into the space beside him, immediately opening the space to escape from this place. This was the primary thing. Fighting with an Extreme Realm System, and an Extreme Realm System that had developed, was not bravery; it was a brain disease.
Pitch-black spatial fluctuations appeared in front. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo was about to leap into it. At this moment, more than ten kilometers away.
Su Xiao clenched his left fist and swung it horizontally, smashing into the empty space beside him.
Boom!!
The space within a range of thousands of kilometers around shattered abruptly, like explosion-proof glass that had been bombarded, shattering into irregular particles one by one.
Almost at the same time, the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, who was leaping toward the spatial hole, immediately stopped his figure, looking at the space channel full of cracks ahead. As a Peak Foreign Qiangzhe, leaping into it wouldn't cause injury, but he would definitely appear from the nearby spatial shattering place. Performing this kind of close-range teleportation had no meaning.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo no longer hesitated. Even if losing the "Sealing Weapon: Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" would be punished by the Patriarch, this time he had encountered an Extreme Realm System. The Patriarch was not unreasonable. He turned the trident in his hand and gathered five Life Cores. As an Abyssal descendant, this number of Life Cores was quite a lot. It had to be said that the Fish Family had a deep foundation and used some secret technique to make up for the lack of Life Cores in Abyssal descendants.
The trident stabbed toward the throat. The next moment, the sound of wind breaking came from his ear, and along with it was a side kick.
Boom!!
A strong arm torn by pure power flipped in mid-air, and the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo had turned into a beam of light.
His figure reappeared, already more than a hundred kilometers away. In the backward flight, the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, who was spitting blood, had already lifted the restraint on his own Life Cores. He was now kicked to shatter causality and fate. His combat instinct told him that if he didn't use the Life Cores to resist this stage, he really wouldn't necessarily be able to return to the Abyss to perform "Abyssal Return Resurrection."
In the final analysis, the effect of the "Origin Clan Emblem" was to pull the causality, fate, existence, etc., of the Abyssal descendants back to the Abyss, and then nourish resurrection. If he died during the period when causality and fate were shattered, the "Abyssal Return" would inevitably fail.
Is the causality system the nemesis of the Abyssal system? Don't have this wrong idea. The causality system doesn't even dare to touch Abyssal causality, let alone shatter it. On the contrary, this kind of pure power shattering Abyssal causality has not a single bit of backlash.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo finally knew how Spider Lady died. He fell into the sea, plowing the seawater to splash thousands of meters high, which was exceptionally spectacular. When the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo stopped, he was stunned there, his bewildered eyes seeming to consider why he was here? Who was he again?
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo knelt on the ground with a plop. The severe pain all over his body helped him quickly find himself. He spat out a mixture of blood and organ fragments from his mouth. Even, there was some origin power in it.
Looking at the origin power gradually drifting on the water surface, a look of astonishment appeared on the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's face. Immediately, his expression became serious. He knew that he must die here this time. The Law-Breaker of the Shadow he encountered this time was so strong that it was desperate, and the sense of oppression was no different from that of the Shadow of the Abyss in the past. No, that sense of dignity of the Technique Master was even more terrifying than the deep darkness of the Shadow of the Abyss.
If he had to choose one to fight against, the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo wouldn't want to choose either.
Things had come to this, the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo stood up, feeling the shattering of a Life Core in his body, and the rich vitality spreading, allowing his body to recover rapidly. He tilted his head and took a deep breath. Although he had dead fish eyes, his gaze became more and more firm.
"Ha!!"
The trident in the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's hand slammed into the sea surface fiercely. Layers of angry waves surged up, but the next second, a figure fell. As he stepped on the water surface, the angry waves seemed to be pressed down by an invisible giant hand and immediately calmed down.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's teeth bit into a clicking sound. What kind of hellish speed was this? In such a short time, he crossed this distance. Space couldn't be escaped, "Abyssal Return" couldn't be used, pure speed—hehe~, compared to speed with an Extreme Realm System, that was really too overestimating oneself.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's aura exploded suddenly. He gripped the trident with both hands, and regardless of how this weapon should be used, he followed his own habits and slashed the heavy trident toward the strong enemy ahead.
Dang!
The long blade slashed onto the trident. Even though there was a large size difference between the two sides—one was eight meters one, one was one meter eight—the eight-meter-one one had the trident in his hand swept in the direction of the long blade's slash, almost dragging the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo and making him stagger several large steps.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's combat experience was indeed rich. He followed the staggering steps and swung the trident backhand.
Dang!
This time the trident was slashed and flew up. One of the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's hands couldn't even hold the trident, and the trident dragged him backward, retreating several steps.
"Dead Water/Dead Land!"
As the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo staggered backward, the surrounding air turned into water liquid, carrying a strong death characteristic. This was his peak ability. His combat was relatively pure. Except for the peak ability, it was a powerful physique. The thousands of water-system abilities he mastered were all for boosting this unparalleled physique.
Cooperating with his weapon "Black Wolf/Ghost Water," his attacks could be far or near. At the farthest, he could attack enemies thousands of kilometers away in the high sky. The inevitable attack would continue to lock and track the enemy.
Of course, in a battle of the same level, he certainly couldn't take out this kind of bullying god-skill.
"Dead Water/Dead Land" made the surrounding world begin to be riddled with holes. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, he suddenly saw golden light appearing ahead.
Boom!!
Golden technique energy exploded suddenly. The gray-white translucent water liquid generated by "Dead Water/Dead Land" was like water droplets under the scorching sun, evaporating and dissipating rapidly.
Pfft~!
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo was covered in blood. When his vision recovered, it had turned into a rotating perspective. Clearly, his head had been beheaded.
The world in front of him went black for a moment, and the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo opened his eyes again. The head regenerated from the broken neck was still a bit uncomfortable. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo prepared to evoke "Dead Water/Dead Land" again, but the next second.
"Extreme Blade: World Judgment."
Su Xiao didn't slash with his blade. The long blade in his hand pointed obliquely at the sea surface, the blade edge ringing lightly. With a pfft, a blood blade more than ten meters long pierced into the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's neck from top to bottom, pierced out from the waist and crotch, and then exploded suddenly. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's Life Core shattered one immediately.
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, like a deep-sea beast, rushed forward with a broken figure. Its exploded chest could still see a sac-like heart jumping.
Dang, dang!
After two successive slashes, the trident in the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's hand was slashed and flew up. Along with it flew the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's huge head, and his Life Core shattered one again.
A blood spear pierced the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's neck, and the Life Core shattered again. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's headless body gripped the void with one hand, and massive seawater gathered suddenly, converging into a crystal core in his hand. The crystal core exploded under high pressure, attempting to disperse everything around.
Zing!
The slashing light swept across the crystal core that was erupting with terrifying water pressure. The massive seawater and pressure were slashed and extinguished in an instant, and along with it was more than half of the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's body.
With a bang, the last Life Core in the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's body shattered. His injuries healed in seconds. It seemed this was the special ability of his last Life Core. The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's aura exploded again. Burning everything, he erupted with the strongest blow.
"Ah!!"
The Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's roar made layers of air waves surge around. The trident in his hand exploded with dark blue light. With a forward thrust, the world left scars along the way, and liquid Abyssal energy surged out, as if the world in this area was injured at the root and black blood surged out.
Dang!!
Su Xiao gave a power slash, and the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, who brushed past him, stopped abruptly.
Su Xiao maintained the posture after the power slash, while the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo was in a posture with his back to Su Xiao after the forward thrust.
Drops of dark blue blood slid down the blade of the Dragon Flash. Behind, the "Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" in the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's hand shattered suddenly, and along with it were the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's arms that had turned into sugar-cube-sized fragments. His throat suddenly spurted blood, making him kneel on the ground with a bang.
His strong and tall body began to shrink. Not long after, he turned into a shriveled appearance less than three meters tall. He tilted his head to look at the sky again, feeling the Law-Breaker standing behind him, with black-blue smoke rising from the long blade in his hand, and said:
"What a truly enjoyable yet desperate battle. Dying at your hands, I... have nothing to say..."
Zing!
The long blade slashed down, the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's head fell into the water, and the headless corpse fell forward. Almost at the same time, on an "Origin Clan Emblem" somewhere in the Abyss, the Abyssal name belonging to the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo was covered with cracks. Just as it gradually lit up with a faint light, this Abyssal name shattered.
On the black sea, Su Xiao looked around. He could perceive that there was still a Peak aura of the Fish Family in the surroundings, but the opponent never showed up. Fighting one against two, he hadn't tried it, but prioritizing killing one with fewer Life Cores and then beating the other should be no problem.
At this moment, in the Abyssal gap in the surrounding area, Second Elder Diknuga looked at the Law-Breaker who was looking around. Its aura suffocated. It was certain that this Law-Breaker only had the qualifications to confront the Patriarch or the Pluto, those who were qualified to seal the Supreme. Just now, it wasn't that it didn't want to show up, but it witnessed the opponent slashing the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's peak ability to explode with one blade.
Speaking of which, the combat system of Peak Powerhouses basically had no fancy things. The truly strong Peaks had only a few abilities, and the rest were all "Peak Passives." Peak Powerhouses generally had the following combat abilities.
Peak ability.
Core ability (either melee/ranged, or technique, or other energy system core abilities).
A total of 2~3 trump card moves.
Convenience ability for bullying (at most one, but except for being useless against the same tier, the efficiency is generally extremely exaggerated).
Therefore, after witnessing the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo's peak ability being slashed to explode by that Law-Breaker with one blade, Second Elder Diknuga gave up the idea of reinforcement. Moreover, witnessing "Wrathful Sea Leveling Waves" being slashed to pieces, Second Elder's eyes went straight at the time.
It was not from the ancient era. Only the Patriarch survived that catastrophe. But the records of the Extreme Realm System in the family seemed, apparently, probably, shouldn't be so outrageous.
In fact, the "Extreme Realm System" wouldn't be so outrageous. The problem was that "Extreme Realm System" + "Technique Master," combined into "Extreme Realm Master," was just so outrageous.
Did the "Extreme Realm System" of the ancient era not know that these two fit perfectly? Even 1+1 > 2? Of course they knew. The problem was that developing like this would make you poor to death.
The reason Su Xiao could develop like this was that he invested the resources he obtained into the Extreme Realm System and the Technique Master system, that is, "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow" relied entirely on the production of the Black Maple Tree for improvement.
【Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow, 88 (Extreme Realm Technique/Passive)】
Basic Effect: Comprehensive strength of all technique abilities increased by 431%...
This was the basic effect of "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow." At first glance, it was just strong, not outrageous. But if you opened the branch list, you would see:
"The current boost to Blade Master is: blade weapon damage tier +19600, blade weapon slashing power judgment tier +19600, blade weapon armor-breaking judgment tier +19600, Soul-Severing strength +1232 points."
For some reason, "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow" had no boost to "Extreme Realm/Star Realm." The benefit was that the 431% boost was all dumped on "blade weapon damage tier," "blade weapon slashing power judgment tier," etc. The boost range was not 31 times, but 6 times. The quota that originally belonged to "Extreme Realm/Star Realm" was boosted to the above several characteristics.
This upgrade could be considered as pushing the "Blade Master" ability to the limit, while "Extreme Realm/Star Realm" had a feeling of being hiddenly stripped from the "Blade Master" ability and becoming a separate ability.
This was the result Su Xiao most wanted to see. When "Extreme Realm/Star Realm" became a separate ability, as a Hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise, he didn't worry about finding ways to improve this "Transcendent-level" ability.
"Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow," in addition to the outrageous boost to Blade Master, had the same outrageous boost to Melee Master. The "Your kick hits the enemy, the enemy will be temporarily kicked to shatter causality and fate" of Melee Master, after getting the boost of "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow," by the end, the causality and fate of the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo were in a shattered state.
What could not be denied was that Blade Master, Melee Master, and Blood Spear Master had all reached a relative limit. Even if there were further improvements later, it would only be to the extent of improving from 99 points to 100 points. It was the absolute limit. If there was no "Heavenly Blade Slashing Shadow" ability, the technique ability would stop there.
Su Xiao looked around and saw that no figure had appeared yet. He spread the crystal layer under his feet, shrouded the Scaleless Sea King Nezmo, and sank into the seabed below.
【You have killed Scaleless Sea King Nezmo.】
【You have obtained Reincarnation-level Treasure Chest/Peak Collection (this is one of the must-obtain benefits of killing a Peak Foreign Qiangzhe...
【You have obtained 100 points of Peak Fate (killing a Peak Foreign Qiangzhe, definitely obtain 100 points of Peak Fate). You can exchange for the following items by consuming Peak Fate.】
Dead Water/Dead Land (Skill Stone).
Price: 100 points of Peak Fate.
Hint: Holding this item, you can submit a skill stone replacement application to the Tree of Void/Reincarnation Paradise (current affiliated camp), and you can replace it with a skill stone of the same tier.
Shattered Fate.
Price: 85 points of Peak Fate.
Hint: The shattered fate of an Abyssal-system Peak Foreign Qiangzhe is a rare treasure for causality/systems.
Strong Belief/Death Battle.
Price: 100 points of Peak Fate.
Hint: The last battle in life inspired all the beliefs of this Abyssal descendant. Although he knew it was a must-lose situation, in his long immortal life, he had never been as firm as he was at this moment. For this battle-loving Abyssal descendant, fighting with such a strong enemy, he had no regrets even if he died. After all, the enemy he fought was the Extreme Realm System Law-Breaker Shadow/Kuku Lin Bai Ye!
Rare Treasure/Abyssal Magic Crystal.
Price: 100 points of Peak Fate.
Hint: A "Rare Treasure" with the characteristics of the Abyss of this era, which can be sold to the Reincarnation Paradise, selling price is 200,000 ounces of Space-Time Power + one??? permission.
Original Core.
Price: 1 point of Peak Fate (non-equivalent exchange, need to consider carefully).
Hint: After ending this exchange, the remaining "Peak Fate" points will be cleared immediately.
Seeing the first exchange, Su Xiao originally already knew what to choose, but seeing "Rare Treasure/Abyssal Magic Crystal," this time he might have hit the jackpot.
【You have paid 100 points of Peak Fate.】
【You have obtained Rare Treasure/Abyssal Magic Crystal.】
Su Xiao checked the previous hints, his brows furrowed a bit, and the Law-Breaker teleportation array formed under his feet.
Boom~
When the surrounding space healed, Su Xiao was already in the first floor of the Shelter City/Cathedral. Coming to the third floor, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the increasingly prosperous Shelter City ahead, he felt slightly puzzled.
"Boss, did you fight someone just now? Did it go smoothly?"
Baja flew over and landed on the antique root carving in front.
"Smoothly."
Su Xiao pointed forward. Baha followed his gaze toward the floor-to-ceiling window, then gave a sudden, knowing smile and said, "Boss, this has a direct connection to you."
"Hmm?"
"It's like this..."
Baja began to talk about the situation in the Shelter City. In short, the Shelter City had Su Xiao, this Peak Foreign Qiangzhe, protecting it, and basically had no external threats. Moreover, Su Xiao had no interest in getting anything from the residents of the Shelter City.
The previous City Lord could be said to be bone-sucking to the Shelter City, but the city tax was very low. This part was used to maintain the Shelter City, not to enter the previous City Lord's pocket. Now, the residents of the Shelter City only needed to pay very low city taxes to have the safest environment in this world, which made the Shelter City develop rapidly.
In this regard, Su Xiao didn't intend to interfere. He had too many things to do. He checked his current physical data:
Supreme HP: 100% (50 million points).
Life Core: 15/15 (newly mastered Extreme Realm Passive increased by 4).
Supreme Mana: 30 million points.
Supreme Power: 916 points.
Supreme Agility: 916 points.
Supreme Stamina: 916 points.
Supreme Intelligence: 916 points.
Soul Strength: 5800 points (this attribute has reached the full value).
Elemental Affinity: 22462 points.
Real Charm: -45 points (-6 points).
Real Luck Attribute: 0 points (-24 points).
Fortune: -15 million points (today permanently -2 million points).
Just checking the personal data, 916 points of All Supreme Attributes, what an outrageous Extreme Realm System, but soon found that the following few were even more heavyweight.
Not to mention, this time the Charm attribute was -6 points unprecedentedly. What was the situation with the Real Luck attribute? It went directly from 24 points to 0 points? Could it be that the Luck attribute also had to be negative?
And it seemed that this was not going to catch up with the Charm attribute. Was it true that later comers surpass those who came before?
And how did the fortune become -15 million points? He hadn't done anything recently. Didn't he just behead three Peak Powerhouses? This shouldn't have caused a negative fortune.
Suddenly, Su Xiao thought of a possibility. The newly sealed "Big Daddy-level/Original Sin item," "Fate Coin," this Original Sin item found that Su Xiao had no sign of using it at all, so it began to quietly exert force. It seemed that this "Big Daddy-level/Original Sin item," which seemed to have the lowest danger, was the most difficult to completely seal.
In this regard, Su Xiao didn't regret it. Without those 1.6 million ounces of Space-Time Power, he wouldn't have his current strength.
Closing the personal data, Su Xiao checked the three "Extreme Realm Passives" he mastered when his Supreme Attribute reached 900 points:
【"Hegemon Power/Dominator (Passive): You can use physical strength to directly intervene or even destroy other systems. The degree of intervention and destruction depends on your current 'Supreme Power attribute'."】
【"Absolute God Speed/Eternal Solidification (Passive): Your comprehensive body speed +3000 (after comprehensive judgment, your original body speed was 682, now it is 3682)."】
【"Life Force/Eternal (Passive): Life Core +4, your 'Basic Physical Defense Tier +7' advanced to 'Extreme Realm Physical Defense Tier +7', and obtained +3 improvement (the related bonuses brought by the Shadow of the Abyss title and Blue Shadow King have been advanced)."】
Hint: Current "Extreme Realm Physical Defense Tier +10."
The former "Basic Physical Defense Tier" was improved when promoting from Supreme to Supreme. Of course, this was the theoretical situation. Blue Shadow King and the "Shadow of the Abyss" title both broke this common sense, but it was limited to these two.
Now this physical characteristic advanced to "Extreme Realm Physical Defense Tier." As an Extreme Realm System, Su Xiao should be able to improve it again later. Simply understood, this was "Super Physical Defense." Improve 1 point, and the damage suffered would decrease by a degree. At this time, reaching 10 points was definitely not the limit in the future.
Closing the skill list, Su Xiao took out the communicator and dialed someone, because he didn't get world reputation after killing the Scaleless Sea King.
He entered this world and killed the first enemy, Death Bishop Erqi, and got 1652 points of world reputation. Since then, he hadn't gained even 1 point of world reputation, and this thing was the constant standard for world settlement in this world.
In this regard, Su Xiao was not in a hurry. He had already guessed what was going on.
Who caused this matter, there was no need to analyze it. There were three members of the Paradise camp in this world before, and now there were five. Aina didn't count as the Paradise camp.
Gulu and Roaming Hunter Ross had only entered this world for a few days, and neither of them was good at causing trouble.
So there were only three people left: Su Xiao, Caesar, and the Priest. The rest either didn't dare to come at all, or after discovering the Peak Melee in this world, they immediately withdrew to avoid triggering the main quest and not being able
Because of this, the matter of world reputation could be solved by process of elimination. It definitely wasn't Caesar; otherwise, he would have certainly pulled Su Xiao into the fold. Therefore, it must be the Priest. After entering this world, the Priest had been abnormally quiet. Now it seemed he had been brewing a super ultimate move.
A moment later, the communication connected. Both sides remained silent. Half a minute later, the Priest broke the silence and said, "Congratulations on slaying the Scaleless Sea King, Niezmo."
Su Xiao didn't speak, but simply sent over a text message, the content of which was:
"Scarlet Badge (Killing Item): Can be used on targets from the Paradise faction to mark them for 24 hours. Upon successfully killing the marked target, you will 100% obtain a 'Deep Scarlet Treasure Chest' (This Scarlet Badge cannot be used on Reincarnation Paradise Hunters, Contractors, or Employees)."
Please don't misunderstand; this isn't a threat. It's just sharing a rare item with an old friend who has been through life and death with me.
Seeing the information on this item, the Priest was silent for a while before saying, "I'll give you 20%. You didn't do anything, so you can only have 20%."
"I slaughtered three peak powerhouses and didn't gain a single point of world reputation."
"This..."
The Priest was indeed in the wrong. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fine, we'll each take 50%."
After saying this, the Priest sighed. There really was no room for buffer this time. Of the Paradise faction members in this world who were good at maneuvering, there were only three: one was a supply manager in the Eternal City of the Underworld God Temple, one was running around the world slaughtering peak powerhouses, and the last was him, who had been keeping a low profile the whole time. If they didn't look for him, who would they look for?
PS: (Tomorrow is Sunday, taking a day off. My dear readers, please forgive me.)
