Chapter 4127: Madness and Choice

Su Xiao ended his daily meditation. Although the decisive battle was imminent, he still couldn't skip the daily meditation. He checked the team storage space. Nine "Supreme Passive" scrolls were already in place. Because Space-Time Power was in short supply this time, he also borrowed 50,000 ounces from Caesar, promising 20% interest, which meant he would return 60,000 ounces after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise this time. The reason why he was so short of Space-Time Power was because this time he was not only improving his physique but also other things.

He opened the hint list and flipped upward. He quickly found the kill reward for the Soul Lord. Although it was a siege, which caused the kill reward to be greatly reduced, the 【Reincarnation-Tier Treasure Chest: Peak Collection】 was definitely obtained.

As for the exchange of 100 points of Peak Destiny, after weighing the five options, Su Xiao chose.

【You have paid 100 points of Peak Destiny.】

【You have obtained 100 Original Cores.】

None of the several rewards exceeded 80 points of Peak Destiny for a single type. However, compared to the kill reward of the Soul Lord, killing the Soul Lord herself had greater significance to Su Xiao.

All along, when facing the Arcane Eternal Star, he had relied on the protection of the Reincarnation Paradise to avoid being besieged. Now, he already had the power to contend with the Arcane Eternal Star.

Although the Soul Lord was not the strongest among the three peak powerhouses of the Arcane Eternal Star, she had always been the only peak powerhouse of the Arcane Eternal Star on the surface.

As the saying goes, the card on the table, even if it is a big card, is definitely not the biggest hole card. And after the Soul Lord died, the two peak powerhouses who stood out immediately, Lingfeng King and Angry Sea Hulse, among them, Lingfeng King, who had always been low-key, showed extremely strong deterrent power among the peak tiers.

That kind of guy who looked unreliable in the past and was lazy and perfunctory about everything, when he became serious, was very terrifying. This made people can't help but recall the dialogue between Lingfeng King and his son in the audience of the past powerhouse hegemony battle, after he had just met his old lover:

Lingfeng King: "Don't always stay at home, come out and see the world."

Wind Prince: "Okay, okay."

The Wind Prince was a bit dazed. His father was of the pro-peace faction. Although he was usually serious, he wasn't as domineering as he was today.

Lingfeng King: "Going to compete with the Law-Exterminator again, but this time there is only one Law-Exterminator, and fortunately there is only one."

Wind Prince: "Father, we are not pro-peace..."

Lingfeng King: "A thousand years ago, I was one of the main forces fighting the Law-Exterminator."

Wind Prince: "Ah?!"

The Wind Prince was dumbfounded. He really hadn't heard of this.

At that time, the Wind Prince once thought that his old man was bragging. How could an Absolute Tier be one of the main forces fighting the Law-Exterminator? In fact, the words Lingfeng King said with a lazy smile were facts.

Never forget that Lingfeng King was the leader of the elemental faction. For the Arcane Eternal Star, what was the concept of the elemental faction? Didn't the power of the mages come from devouring elemental power?

The name Lingfeng King was not loud in the Second Era because he was formerly known as Mad King Erod. After the battle, he gradually became the Elemental King Erod who went mad.

It was because after entering the Third Era, the Arcane Age, the Arcane Eternal Star had absolute dominance, and Mad King Erod didn't need to show his power anymore. When he entered the state of battle, not only were the enemies afraid, but his own people were also afraid when they looked at him.

Added to the fact that old enemies like Marvin, Green, and Archid died one after another, Lingfeng King began to tire of fighting and madness, which led to the lazy leader of the elemental faction, Lingfeng King, in the Third Era.

In the Third Era, the Arcane Eternal Star could have dominance, but as the strongest overlord, there shouldn't be too high-pressure dominance. After the Soul Lord, Dean Guya, and others talked to the Mad King about this, Lingfeng King appeared. After that, Lingfeng King couldn't go back. This life was much better than being the Mad King. Was the little hand of the Feather lover not fragrant? Or was the old lover of the Night Witch not tender? Or was the gold-making cave of Void Saint Geya not cool? Couldn't go back, couldn't go back at all. I am Lingfeng King forever and ever. Mad King? I'm not familiar with this person.

However, when the Arcane Eternal Star really needed someone to stand up, Lingfeng King still took off the five rings that sealed his elemental power and became Mad King Erod again.

The reappearance of Mad King Erod made the major forces of the Void, who originally thought he died in the last battle with the old Law-Exterminator, suddenly stop acting rashly.

In fact, not only the major forces of the Star Realm, except for a limited number of high-level officials, the mages of the Arcane Eternal Star also thought that the Mad King was dead. However, the cause of death they learned was different from the outside world. No one dared to investigate this. And years later, the rapidly "promoted" Lingfeng King was undoubtedly the person the members of the elemental faction were more willing to support, rather than the Mad King who made them all fear.

The major forces of the Star Realm did indeed retreat again, but this was already useless. High-and-mighty gods could not bleed. Even if the injury was slight, just scraping a little skin, their authority would not be as good as before, not to mention that one of the three peak powerhouses of the Arcane Eternal Star, the Soul Lord, died in the Star Fall Continent.

And, the Supreme One had no attitude toward this, just like after the destruction of the Law-Exterminator faction in the past, just looking down. This made the major forces of the Star Realm gradually understand that in the eyes of this person, if the Arcane Eternal Star really lost, then the force that defeated the Eternal Star could be the next Void Overlord.

If that Law-Exterminator could really defeat the Pluto God, he would definitely be able to decide the winner with Mad King Erod. At that time, the major forces of the Star Realm swarming the Arcane Eternal Star was not impossible, defeating the culprit who caused the Abyssal invasion.

This was also what the Arcane Eternal Star was most worried about. Otherwise, how could they not gather their strength to fight to the death in the Star Fall Continent? When had the Arcane Eternal Star ever suffered such losses?

The current Void was surging with undercurrents, just missing a powder keg to completely detonate this situation. At that time, it would definitely be a chaotic battle.

Su Xiao didn't care about this for now. His priority was to have a decisive battle with the Pluto God. He had to win before considering these.

He continued to check the hint list and found the kill reward for the Old God Ubo-Sathla. 【Reincarnation-Tier Treasure Chest: Peak Collection】 was definitely obtained. And the exchange of 100 points of Peak Destiny, because Su Xiao's combat contribution in this battle was not high, the several rewards that appeared were not as good as the Soul Lord, so he decisively chose.

【You have paid 100 points of Peak Destiny.】

【You have obtained 100 Original Cores.】

A total of 200 "Original Cores" were in hand. However, upgrading "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" required a massive amount of this resource.

【You have submitted the bounty "Azguk."】

【Due to the multi-fold bounty of "Hunter List: Blood Pact" + bounty correction, you will receive a bounty with a total value of 720,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【You have obtained 70,500 Space-Time Stone Fragments (this is an equivalent, can be sold to the Reincarnation Paradise at any time to obtain 705,000 ounces of Space-Time Power).】

【You have obtained Bad-Hearted Prophet (this item is equivalent to the value of 15,000 ounces of Space-Time Power in this judgment).】

"Bad-Hearted Prophet (Abyssal Strange Item): Can consume current luck for divination. There is a 50% probability of being absolutely accurate, and a 50% probability of being definitely wrong. The result will depend on the 'mood' of this item. A 'beautiful mood' prophet will give accurate divination, and a 'bad mood' prophet will give wrong answers."

This thing was quite peculiar. As for consuming destiny, -15 million points of destiny, he didn't worry about overdrafting destiny by using 【Bad-Hearted Prophet】 multiple times. The problem was the mood of this thing.

Su Xiao picked up the divination cards in front of him. On the divination cards was a beautiful prophet with gorgeous clothes, light purple eyeshadow, and a cold expression. It could be seen that in the hands of Su Xiao, whose real charm attribute was -45 points, the prophet's mood was very not beautiful. But it didn't matter. After getting along for a period of time, she would know whose hands she had fallen into.

And, this 【Bad-Hearted Prophet】 was an Abyssal Strange Item. Its resistance to the volume of causality and destiny during divination was extremely high. After all, it had Abyssal causality as a backer.

Putting away 【Bad-Hearted Prophet】, Su Xiao took out five legendary famous blades from his storage space. This was the reward given by the Sealing Master Turin Heta. The reason was that the Old God Ubo-Sathla had fallen, but the "Old God Eye" had not returned to Turin Heta. If this was the case, and Turin Heta still didn't pay the reward, he could experience the "Law-Extermination Formula."

As for where the "Old God Eye" went, Su Xiao estimated that this "Big Daddy-Tier Original Sin Item" was waiting. Currently, it had three causality lines: Su Xiao, Pluto God, and Blade Demon. But none of these three parties were good choices.

If the Pluto God became the final winner, even if it was stared at by the "Old God Eye," it could achieve the Supreme Realm later. And the "Big Daddy-Tier Original Sin Item" was unwilling to be entangled with the Supreme Realm; the risk was too high.

Su Xiao was not a good choice either. Su Xiao, who was at the Peak Tier, was already sealing seven "Big Daddy-Tier Original Sin Items."

The Blade Demon was not a good choice either. The Blade Demon's causality was too chaotic. And, the Blade Demon was finding himself back. Once the Blade Demon completely found himself back, the causality of the "Old God Eye" to the outside world would break due to the Blade Demon's death, causing it to fall into the abyss or be drowned in the river of time. The next time it appeared, who knew what year it would be.

Therefore, the best choice for the "Old God Eye" was to wait for the decisive battle between Su Xiao and the Pluto God. When the two sides decided the winner and one side's causality dissipated, the "Old God Eye," relying on this peak causality that was strong enough not to disappear completely in a short time, would enter a state without a holder. At that time, it could choose a unlucky force.

Actually, the "Old God Eye" had already chosen a target. It looked at the Devil Race of the Void, which also seemed quite handsome.

Su Xiao drew Zhan Long Shan. The "Supreme Sharp Blade" ability was activated. Iron sand-like substances shrouded the five legendary famous blades. The upgrade of Zhan Long Shan began. As for swallowing 【End】, he couldn't do it yet.

This upgrade should be enough to let Zhan Long Shan's rating break through 25,000 points. In this way, although it was still a bit short of the ideal 30,000 full rating, it could also withstand this life-and-death battle.

【You have sold Rare Treasure: Abyssal Magic Crystal.】

【You have obtained 200,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【You can choose one from the following authorities.】

1. Weapon reinforcement authority.

2. Long-term mission extra reward authority.

3. Auction authority.

The latter two were likely to have a long cycle, but the overall return was very high. The problem was that the current situation in the Void was like a powder keg, plus the Star Realm was getting closer and closer to the Abyssal invasion, which was the super late stage. Choosing options that required a long time to have high returns was obviously not safe.

【You have chosen the weapon reinforcement authority.】

【You can use this authority to upgrade "any quality" weapon to reinforcement +15.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao knew that after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise this time, he not only had the possibility of upgrading Zhan Long Shan to 30,000 full rating, letting it swallow 【End】, but also could upgrade this Reincarnation-Tier weapon to reinforcement +15. The amount of resources saved was not a small amount, because the Reincarnation-Tier Zhan Long Shan needed to use "Original Cores" to reinforce.

The number of "Original Cores" consumed from +1 to +10 was still okay, but starting from +11, the nightmare officially began. If the luck was bad enough, the number of "Original Cores" to hard-push to reinforcement +15 was a bottomless pit.

He came to the skill upgrade warehouse and activated the "Honor Store."

【You have paid 10 Reincarnation Badges.】

【You have obtained 10 Initial Source Substances.】

【You have submitted the main quest: Peak Destiny (Third Ring).】

【You have obtained 25 Reincarnation Badges.】

【The final real stage of this world: Main Quest has been triggered.】

【Main Quest: Supreme.】

Difficulty Tier: Lv. 105.

Mission Introduction: Obtain "Heart of the Abyss" and "Eye of Elements."

Hint: Currently obtained "Heart of the Abyss."

Mission Deadline: 10 natural days.

Mission Reward: 50 Reincarnation Badges.

Mission Penalty: None.

Closing the mission list, Su Xiao took out 100 "Original Cores" and ten "Initial Source Substances."

【If you need to upgrade the "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" ability by 10 levels, you need to consume 800,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, 100 Original Cores, and ten "Initial Source Substances."】

The price of upgrading "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" in the Lv. 80-Lv. 100 stage didn't increase. It seemed like good news, but after Lv. 100, a single upgrade reached 100,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, indicating that in the future, this would also be a money-swallowing beast that swallowed Space-Time Power.

All "Original Cores" and "Initial Source Substances" shattered, plus a large amount of Space-Time Power was consumed. Su Xiao felt that his perspective suddenly changed. From sitting cross-legged in the skill upgrade warehouse of the Lord Train, he became located in the sky, overlooking the entire Soul Lake.

Boom!

An invisible giant object leaped out of the Soul Lake. The next instant, Su Xiao changed from an overlooking perspective to a personal experiencer. He stood in mid-air, a soul blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed down.

Zing!

The next second, his eyes opened. After getting up, he walked out of the train quickly.

With a boom, the soul liquid that had just been slashed ten thousand meters high crashed down. This confirmed to him that every time he upgraded his blade technique ability along the way, it was not seeing illusions, but personal experience. Although there was evidence in the past, such as scene residues on clothes or physical feelings, this was the first time he saw the aftermath with his own eyes.

【In the error-free version!】

【Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash ability has been upgraded to Lv. 98.】

【Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash, Lv. 98 (Extreme Realm Technique: Passive)】

Basic Effect: Comprehensive strength of all technique abilities increased by 461% (increased by 30%).

Skill Effect: Extreme Blade (Exclusive Passive): This characteristic is the "Move Cornerstone" of the current technique ability. All your technique move abilities used with the long blade in your hand will be based on this ability, and its comprehensive power will be constant...

Current Extreme Blade Cornerstone Strength: 355 points.

Extreme Realm Effect 1: Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash (Extreme Realm: Exclusive Passive), your blade technique ability will no longer be confined to the blade technique moves of the past...

Extreme Realm Effect 2: Realm of No-Self (Extreme Realm: Exclusive Passive), enter the "Realm of No-Self," briefly forget all blade technique moves of the past, and only retain the current blade technique move being used, thereby raising it to the extreme.

Current Realm of No-Self upgrade limit: 7.5 times move power.

Su Xiao's upgrade was not over yet. Returning to the skill upgrade warehouse, Su Xiao began to master the nine "Supreme Passives" he bought this time. Next was to upgrade them all to Lv. EX. He was already familiar with this.

A few hours later, the nine "Supreme Passives" newly added to the skill list were all consumed. A large amount of "Star Realm Origin Power" surged out. When he absorbed all the "Star Realm Origin Power," Su Xiao, who still had some unfinished business, opened his eyes.

【All your supreme main attributes permanently increased by 12 points.】

【Your technique potential limit +55.】

【Your Abyssal resistance +5 points.】

It was not that it was completed immediately after absorption, but gradually improved. This was the power of the "Origin Physique." A few hours later, Su Xiao checked his own data.

Life Core: 17/17 (Human-specific high-quantity Life Core talent).

Supreme Strength: 1046 points.

Supreme Agility: 1046 points.

Supreme Stamina: 1046 points.

Supreme Intelligence: 1046 points.

Real Luck Attribute: -1 point.

Good news, all supreme main attributes broke the 1,000-point mark. Bad news, the real luck attribute was negative after all. After returning, he would immediately increase the sealing intensity of the "Fate Coin" and focus on 'taking care' of this guy.

Checking the remaining Space-Time Power, 20,703 ounces remained. It seemed that no one had ever developed the Extreme Realm system and Blade Master simultaneously to become an "Extreme Realm Master" for a reason. This resource consumption made Su Xiao, who owned a Black Maple Tree, start to be unable to hold on.

This made him can't help but consider whether to increase his income channels, for example... the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? If the Void really fell into a chaotic battle, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance prepared to stand on the dry shore, that was fine. Who would want to be involved in disputes?

But if the Chamber of Commerce Alliance standing on the dry shore was still thinking of reaping the benefits after Su Xiao and the Arcane Eternal Star clashed, then Su Xiao would have to contact Caesar.

Su Xiao would be responsible for slaughtering the powerhouses of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and Caesar would go to loot the treasuries of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance one by one, performing in their respective fields of expertise, and finally split the loot 50/50. This would be very good.

Just at this time, a hint appeared.

【All your supreme attributes have reached 1,000 points! You will obtain the key "Extreme Realm Passive" of the Extreme Realm system.】

【You have mastered "Extreme Realm Ascension (Passive)," and you have obtained the following buffs.】

1. Hegemonic Power: Extreme Destruction (Passive) effect improved. The "Supreme Strength" has been developed and utilized at the ascension level, so your physical combat strength is your "Supreme Strength" attribute × 10 times (increased by 5.5 times)!

Warning: Because the growth range obtained by your physical combat strength is too huge, you need to ensure that your current "Supreme Stamina" attribute is higher than 950 points and your "Life Core" volume is higher than 10, to bear such powerful physical strength.

Hint: Having obtained the life physique to bear the current combat strength by a large excess, you will be able to better exert your physical strength.

2. Significantly improve the growth of your "Supreme Agility Attribute" to "Comprehensive Body Speed." Originally, 1 point of Supreme Agility attribute brought 0.68 points of comprehensive body speed growth, now it is increased to 1 point of Supreme Agility attribute bringing 9.5 points of comprehensive body speed growth, and you obtain the corresponding amount of growth correction.

Growth Correction: According to the current agility attribute, increase the growth amount, that is, the original 0.68 growth range, now increased to 9.5, will be based on the current growth range, 9.5 - 0.68 = 8.82 × (current 1046 points of Supreme Agility attribute).

Hint: Currently 1046 points of "Supreme Agility" have obtained a total of 9226 points of "Comprehensive Body Speed" increase (this is the "Comprehensive Body Speed" growth correction corresponding to 1046 points of "Supreme Agility").

3. The growth of your "Supreme Stamina" attribute to "Supreme Life Value" will be greatly increased, from 1 point of Supreme Stamina = 500,000 points of Supreme Life Value growth, increased to 1 point of Supreme Stamina = 1,000,000 points of Supreme Life Value, and you obtain the corresponding amount of life value growth correction, and for every 100 points of "Supreme Stamina" attribute increased subsequently, you can increase 1 point of "Extreme Realm Physical Defense Tier."

Hint: Currently 1046 points of "Supreme Stamina," according to the corresponding amount of "Life Value Growth Correction," your "Life Core" is permanently increased by 10!

4. After "Supreme Intelligence" is higher than 1000 points, the growth of your "Supreme Intelligence" to overflowing "Supreme Mana Value" has been increased from 1 point of Supreme Intelligence = 100,000 Supreme Mana Value, to 1 point of Supreme = 200,000 points of Supreme Mana Value (overflowing mana value can be converted into Green Shadow King energy), and after "Supreme Intelligence" attribute is higher than 1000 points, for every 1 point of Supreme Intelligence attribute you increase, your soul strength, which has reached the limit, will have both its limit and current strength increased by 1 point.

5. The level limit of your technique core ability "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" has been increased from Lv. 130 to Lv. 145!

This was a qualitative change in the Extreme Realm system. Su Xiao suddenly felt again that he didn't know how strong he was now, but this upgrade was still not over.

Taking out a total of 16 【Soul Energy Crystals】, Su Xiao prepared to upgrade the "Soul Severing Shadow" ability. According to Green Gillian, with Su Xiao's current "Soul Severing Shadow" intensity, two upgrades would be enough to achieve the final qualitative change of this ability. Even if it could be upgraded with "Soul Energy Crystals" later, it would only be an increase in ability intensity, not a change in characteristics.

Su Xiao didn't have any combat-type "Peak Abilities." As a Soul Severing Shadow, this was undoubtedly a chance to make up for it. Come to think of it, his current ability system was quite concise. The ultimate moves were "Extreme Realm: Star Realm," "Green Shadow King," and "Realm of No-Self." The small skills were "Annihilation Blood Spear" for shattering life cores, and the life-saving ability was "Replacement." Others were all derivative skills of technique abilities.

In this case, letting Soul Severing Shadow have a certain functionality was also a good choice. And, the ability characteristics of each Soul Severing Shadow were different, determined by their current ability system. As a Soul Severing Shadow of the Extreme Realm system, Soul Severing Shadow would likely not be weak.

Su Xiao left the skill upgrade warehouse and came to the blending table. He first blended a few bottles of potent recovery secret medicine for himself. After drinking one, he returned to the skill upgrade warehouse, held his breath, and according to the method Green Gillian said, used 16 【Soul Energy Crystals】 at the same time.

The next second, Su Xiao's eyes went dark. I don't know how long it had passed, he seemed to see light spots. The light spots gradually became clear and condensed, gradually forming a light cluster. He was about to raise his hand to take it and touch it, when two other light clusters appeared on the sides.

Su Xiao opened his eyes. With blood flowing from his mouth and nose, his expression was calm. For the power and danger of the Law-Extermination system abilities, he had a deep understanding.

【Your Soul Severing Shadow ability has completed the metamorphosis-level promotion. Subsequently, you can choose one of the following characteristics as the final characteristic of your Soul Severing Shadow.】

1. Soul Split.

2. Soul Devour.

3. Soul Extinguish.

【Because your Soul Severing Shadow ability is in a state of waiting to be stabilized, you need to wait for ten hours before you can make this choice.】

Among the three choices, the first was "Soul Split." After slashing off part of the enemy's soul, these souls would form "Soul Flying Blades," located behind the user. The user could control these soul blades at any time to attack the enemy. If it was the unlucky guy whose soul was just slashed off and turned into a soul blade, it would carry super high soul damage and paralysis.

That was, two soul blades nailed to the enemy's soul, the enemy would have to slow down by more than 90%, and this was the enemy's own soul turned into "Soul Blades." There was no possibility of stripping them off. If not careful, they would pull their own soul out.

And "Soul Devour" was to devour part of the enemy's soul after slashing the enemy with the Law-Extermination Blade in hand, letting the Demon Spirit temporarily possess part of the enemy's abilities.

Even, if the Demon Spirit was strong enough, it could even synchronize the enemy's causality through this part of the soul in a short time. Su Xiao could map the damage to the enemy by slashing the Demon Spirit, or he could block the enemy's attack through the Demon Spirit, and then realize the situation where the enemy attacked himself.

Added to the fact that Su Xiao had the "Replacement" ability, at that time, one replacement, the enemy hitting the Demon Spirit, was equivalent to hitting himself. A ruthless enough attack would definitely explode a life core on the spot, and "Synchronized Causality" would 100% feed back the damage.

As for the third type, "Soul Extinguish," this was simple and crude. The part of the soul Su Xiao slashed off was destroyed immediately. This was soul destruction at the causality level.

The Soul Severing Shadow ability was still in the stabilization period, so he was not in a hurry to choose. Su Xiao left the Lord Train and leaped onto the canoe. He had upgraded "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" and his physique, so of course, he had to practice hard to complete the thorough outlook on this upgrade.

A total of 525,000 phantom images of all living beings appeared on the Soul Lake. Su Xiao slashed down, and then the same slash slashed by hundreds of thousands of phantom images of all living beings was all experienced by him. Feeling this experience, it was wonderful and made people can't help but indulge in it.

Five days later, Su Xiao, dragging his extremely tired body, controlled the canoe to the Lord Train. Returning to the train, he just arrived at the bedroom when he was forced to activate the human race's divine skill: sleep.

This hard practice had a great harvest:

【Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash, Lv. 98 (Extreme Realm Technique: Passive)...

Current Extreme Blade Cornerstone Strength: 430 points (increased by 75 points, having reached an unprecedented technique height).】

【Hint: Every time your "Extreme Blade Cornerstone Strength" increases subsequently, it will be recorded by the Reincarnation Paradise. Relevant top-tier authority data reserve has been carried out. Do you agree to this record?】

【You have agreed to this record, and your Reincarnation Paradise reputation has been significantly improved.】

When Su Xiao woke up, it was already noon the next day. He washed up as usual and had a lunch prepared by the Alchemy Maid. He looked at the boundless Soul Lake outside the window. It was time to go and decide life and death with the Pluto God.
