Chapter 4130: Return
【Transmission complete. You have returned to Reincarnation Paradise.】
The sensation of transmission dissipated. In his exclusive room, Su Xiao leaned back on a single-seat sofa. From the battle with the God of the Underworld to guarding against subsequent ambushes by powerhouses of the same rank, he had kept his perception fully open the entire time. Now, his whole body gradually relaxed, bringing a sense of relief and comfort from the inside out. It would have been even more perfect if he could take a short nap, but a prompt appeared.
【World reward settlement begins.】
Transcendence/Native World: Meteor Fall (Collapsing).
World Difficulty: Lv. 89–Lv. 105.
World Source: -- (As the world is collapsing, World Source will no longer be calculated).
World Reputation: -- (As the world is collapsing, World Reputation will no longer be calculated).
Number of Completed Tasks: -- (As the world is collapsing, task completion status will no longer be calculated).
Comprehensive Evaluation: Destruction-class (You are the primary cause of the collapse of this "Transcendence/Native World".)
Beginning calculation of this world's evaluation.
Settlement complete. Because the ownership of this Transcendence/Native World did not belong to Reincarnation Paradise, your actions will not be subject to non-profit penalties, and your act of causing the collapse of Meteor Fall has allowed Reincarnation Paradise to collect a "massive amount" of space-time power.
Beginning reward statistics.
Rewards obtained are as follows:
1. Time Crystal × 315 (Each "Time Crystal" can be converted into one hour of stay in the "Land of Extremes").
2. Highest-tier notarization authority × 1.
Reincarnation Paradise/Important Note: This "Highest-tier notarization authority" is extremely rare; the Hunter must use it with the utmost caution and deliberation.
Reincarnation Paradise/Important Warning: This "Highest-tier notarization authority" is extremely rare; the Hunter must use it with the utmost caution and deliberation.
Reincarnation Paradise/Important Alert: This "Highest-tier notarization authority" is extremely rare; the Hunter must use it with the utmost caution and deliberation.
Because the comprehensive evaluation reached Destruction-class, you will receive the following unique rewards:
Unique Reward: Theoretical unlimited stay time within Reincarnation Paradise. After the stay time reaches 7 natural days, you may actively apply to enter a mission world.
Prompt: True Power/Plunder has been activated; you will obtain 1–3 Golden Skill Points.
Prompt: You have obtained 3 Golden Skill Points (determined by the comprehensive evaluation).
Comprehensive evaluation is Destruction-class; the Hunter's current brand level is Lv. 103, brand level +5.
Prompt: Your brand level has reached Lv. 105, which is the theoretical maximum brand level. Subsequently, you will be unable to obtain brand level increases through world settlement and can only increase your brand level through the following situations:
1. Winning the Paradise Contest and playing a crucial role in it.
2.??? Campaign.
3.??? Campaign.
Prompt: Only the above three situations can increase the brand level beyond Lv. 105.
Prompt: Your additional authority +Lv. 3.
Settlement complete; rewards have been deposited into the Hunter's brand.
Su Xiao activated the recovery function. Seeing this, Baha took out the life-support device storing his left arm, and recovery began. When Su Xiao finished his nap, this recovery session ended. It is worth mentioning that because his Reincarnation brand level reached Lv. 105, this recovery was free, and he would receive one free recovery after experiencing each subsequent world; this time was a one-time gift upon initial activation of the authority.
Several hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes to review the series of world settlement results. The amount of information in this world settlement was quite massive.
First, Su Xiao no longer needed to be forcibly transmitted into mission worlds. Or rather, with his current strength at the peak of the Supreme realm, once he entered any world and clashed with the powerhouses there, it would be fine if he crushed them, but if he fought to a standstill and caused the world to collapse, it would be perfectly normal.
However, this did not mean he had no channels to obtain resources later. Long-term missions were a good choice; among these missions, some particularly dangerous ones offered rewards no lower than entering a mission world.
However, without the Tree of the Void notarizing the entire Void, Su Xiao would not go to the Void. The Supreme One would not stop others from ascending to the pinnacle, but Su Xiao was not sure if the Supreme One would kill someone who also possessed the "Extreme/Astral Realm".
In Su Xiao's view, this probability was not high; the Supreme One still had a grand vision. Although this person was too invincible and sat at the peak in lonely invincibility, even beginning to lose their humanity, they would not do something like cultivating an enemy. This person was more like someone waiting at the peak, which also implied one thing: regarding the Law-Extinguishing faction of the Second Era, the Supreme One's intervention must have had a huge secret.
Was it that during the First Era, the first-generation Law-Extinguishers vaguely posed a threat to the Supreme One? Unlikely. If so, the Supreme One would not have allowed the Law-Extinguishing faction of the Second Era to sprout at all. With the Supreme One's strength, they could have stifled everything before the Law-Extinguishing faction rose.
Anything that could make the Supreme One intervene must concern the entire Astral Realm. Su Xiao felt that he was already very close to this secret; with just a few more clues, he could know all the secrets.
The Supreme One was clearly manipulating something, and this must concern the entire Astral Realm; otherwise, it would not be worthy of this person's manipulation.
This matter was temporarily unrelated to Su Xiao. His principle was that after ascending to the peak of the Supreme realm, until he had the strength to face the Supreme One directly, unless he had no choice, he would not go to the Void in an unnotarized state. Betting his life on an enemy's past behavioral guidelines was a rather reckless approach.
"Time Crystals" floated in front of Su Xiao. He did not need this item. Cultivating in the "Land of Extremes" could slowly improve his Supreme physical attributes. The problem was that as an Extreme-type, Su Xiao did not need this, which was almost the only choice for other Qiyuezhe, and the efficiency was too low.
After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao opened his contact list and began a text exchange with the Tuanzhang. A moment later, both sides began to talk.
Bai Ye: "【Time Crystal】, do you need them?"
Tuanzhang: "I am not an Extreme-type, but if they are free, I need them."
Bai Ye: "Okay."
Tuanzhang: "In text communication, don't be so taciturn. How many did you get in this settlement?"
Bai Ye: "【Time Crystal × 315】."
Tuanzhang: "Hmm?"
From the Tuanzhang's "Hmm?", it could be seen that this quantity of 【Time Crystals】 was very valuable. As for giving them to the Tuanzhang for free, he had received no small amount of behind-the-scenes help from the Tuanzhang on Meteor Fall. After distinguishing between kindness and resentment, returning kindness for kindness was a basic principle of conduct.
Tuanzhang: "Did you catch a peak angel from the Apocalypse Paradise?"
The peak angel the Tuanzhang mentioned was a battle angel of the Apocalypse Paradise, known as a peak angel after ascending to the peak of the Supreme realm.
Bai Ye: "No, obtained from world settlement."
Tuanzhang: "You and the God of the Underworld caused Meteor Fall to collapse, and you still have gains... Oh~, the Transcendence World has a staggering amount of space-time power. You caused Meteor Fall to collapse, and this is an unowned Transcendence World, so in the judgment of the Tree of the Void, Reincarnation Paradise is the first notarization and punishment party. After comprehensive judgment, your actions this time will yield gains. How were they given? World settlement?"
Bai Ye: "Yes, have you never encountered this?"
Tuanzhang: "So far, no Qiyuezhe has been 'lucky' enough to cause a Transcendence World that still retains the "Transcendence" prefix to collapse."
After chatting for a while, Su Xiao sent the 【Time Crystals】 over. This made Su Xiao look forward to the Supreme realm even more. The reason was that once one reached the Supreme realm, one could still improve their physique, which was undoubtedly what Extreme-types wanted to see most.
However, at the end of the chat, the Tuanzhang mentioned one thing:
Tuanzhang: "Bai Ye, I heard from Luo Bin that the "Abyssal Source Power" in your right arm was blasted out by an elemental impact?"
The Luo Bin the Tuanzhang mentioned was that roaming hunter from before.
Bai Ye: "Yes."
Tuanzhang: "Good thing. You are an Extreme-type; you shouldn't try to absorb "Abyssal Source Power". By the way, does this source power come from the previous generation's Abyssal Lord? If so, I can buy it."
Bai Ye: "It's yours."
Tuanzhang: "What do you lack recently?"
Bai Ye: "Space-time power."
Tuanzhang: "To be honest, I lack it too."
Bai Ye: "Initial Source Matter."
Tuanzhang: "I still have 65 portions of this."
Bai Ye: "Good."
Tuanzhang: "Good what? I need to use at least 15 portions; I'll send the remaining 50 to you."
Not long after, an email arrived. After opening it, the attachment contained fifty portions of "Initial Source Matter".
The value of this "Source Power of the Previous Abyssal Lord" was actually hard to measure. For those who didn't need it, it was not only worthless but also a source of danger.
For those who needed it, the price wasn't actually that outrageous. The Tuanzhang's meaning was very clear: he was at ease with this item being with Su Xiao, but if it wasn't with Su Xiao, and was highly likely to be sold by Su Xiao, the Tuanzhang wouldn't be at ease. So, he simply traded item for item, providing the resources Su Xiao currently needed, excluding space-time power.
Su Xiao now had 1034 "Primordial Cores", fifty portions of "Initial Source Matter", plus the 138 【Reincarnation Badges】 on hand, which could be exchanged for the lacking "Initial Source Matter". It seemed that fully upgrading the Heaven-Blade Slash ability was within reach. The problem was that he was currently more in need of space-time power.
【If you need to upgrade Heaven-Blade Slash, Lv. 100, it requires consuming 100,000 ounces of space-time power, Primordial Core × 10, and one portion of "Initial Source Matter".】
Su Xiao continued to check the requirements for upgrading Heaven-Blade Slash. With his authority, he could see up to Lv. 130 in total. Lv. 130–Lv. 145 belonged to the limit level, which would only unlock after upgrading to Lv. 130.
From Lv. 100–Lv. 110 required 1 million ounces of space-time power, from Lv. 110–Lv. 120 required 1.5 million ounces, and from Lv. 120–Lv. 130 required 2 million ounces of space-time power, which meant a total of 4.5 million ounces of space-time power.
This huge sum, unless he could complete a bounty mission like "Thoroughly Eliminate the Mother of Mercy"... Su Xiao could beat the Mother of Mercy, but to thoroughly eliminate her, with his current strength and means, the possibility was very low. For such existences, killing them and letting them sink into the abyss for ten thousand, or even tens of thousands of years, Su Xiao could do, but thorough elimination was another matter on the causal level.
Speaking of which, during the period when a crowd of peak powerhouses were fighting for the "Heart of the Abyss", the Mother of Mercy had been planning all along, and the Mother of Mercy's ultimate goal was to obtain Meteor Fall. It could only be said that this plan was completed, but the result had some flaws: Meteor Fall was blasted into collapse by Su Xiao and the God of the Underworld.
The Mother of Mercy was very angry, and she had been angry for a long time. As for coming to Su Xiao for revenge, it was still the same saying: Su Xiao could definitely kill the Mother of Mercy, but he could not thoroughly eliminate her.
To make a simple analogy, the Mother of Mercy was not a single individual at all. A group of Mothers of Mercy were all the Mother of Mercy group. Among them, some were in the abyss, some were in the elemental drifting land, and their causality was not connected to each other, so it was impossible to cause a chain-type death by destroying their causality, like killing the Platinum Apostle.
For example, Mother of Mercy 1, Mother of Mercy 2, Mother of Mercy 3. If 1 was killed, 2 and 3 would definitely be fine, and 2 would soon split out 1, and after this situation, 2 and 1 would still not be causally connected.
This was also why Su Xiao, the God of the Underworld, and others ignored the Mother of Mercy throughout the process. It was hard enough to kill one individual, let alone a group of individuals, plus each had separate causality.
In this way, how outrageous the 600,000-ounce bounty was, it was already self-evident. As for the "Fate Coin" as the "Big Daddy-class/Original Sin Object" with a 1.8 million-ounce bounty, there was no doubt that this was the most harmless-looking yet most difficult one among all the Original Sin Objects Su Xiao had encountered.
The "Fate Coin" didn't even have the ability to directly kill the holder. If the "Scarlet Scepter" was a cold-blooded maniac, the "Sun Mask" was a majestic monarch, the "Soul Crown" was the king of death and bones, and the "Nether Bone Ring" was the ruler of absolute power, then the "Fate Coin" was gold-red liquid that permeated everything.
It had no power, no majesty, but it could bring about change through slow infiltration.
Su Xiao checked his personal profile:
True Charm: -70 points (-25 points)
True Luck Attribute: -10 points (-9 points).
Fortune: -18 million points (-3 million points).
Su Xiao's True Charm attribute had been dropping, that was true, but it had never dropped this fiercely. In the case of a negative number, a single drop of 25 points was a record. This belonged to the "Fate Coin" playing tricks.
Taking out the "Book of Original Sin" and manipulating it to turn to the seventh page, Su Xiao, under the shocked gazes of Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beini, lifted most of the seal on this page.
Hum~
An ancient gold coin, a few sizes larger than an ordinary gold coin, emerged. The front of the coin was a blurred portrait, and the back was a number that changed occasionally.
The "Fate Coin" didn't look like it was going to erode Su Xiao's fate at all. The reason was that this Original Sin Object had never experienced a holder with such fortune who was still safe and sound. Not only safe and sound, but sometimes it could even reverse fortune.
Being targeted by Su Xiao, for the "Fate Coin", was no different from when the "Collector" as the leader of the "Book of Original Sin" successfully sealed the first Original Sin Object and was extremely satisfied with the "collection addiction".
A more intuitive way to say it was that all holders who died from the "Fate Coin" died because their fortune was too negative, eventually dying from various seemingly coincidental but actually inevitable dangers.
This was also the process of the "Fate Coin" constantly becoming stronger. Every time it made the holder's fortune negative to a certain degree, and the holder hadn't died yet, then this limit of negative fortune was the new lower limit of the "Fate Coin".
When this holder died, the next holder of the "Fate Coin" would soon have their fortune reach this new lower limit, and then according to this lower limit, create a new lower limit again.
Others died when their fortune was negative by hundreds of thousands or millions. Su Xiao was previously at -12 million, which made the "Fate Coin" feel like it had discovered a new continent, and at this moment, its new lower limit was -18 million points of fortune, and it was prepared to continue like this.
Regarding this, Su Xiao would certainly not allow it. He would subsequently use the "Sage's Codex" to improve his sealing studies again and thoroughly seal this Original Sin Object.
This matter was not urgent for now. The decline in Charm attribute, Luck attribute, etc., caused by the "Fate Coin" had a certain periodicity. Recently, such situations would not occur again. He checked the prompt that had just appeared.
【You have completed the bounty "Meteor Fall".】
【Due to the multi-fold bounty + bounty correction of the "Hunter List/Blood Pact", you will receive a bounty with a total value of 1,000,000 ounces of space-time power.】
【You have obtained Space-Time Stone Fragments × 50,000 (this is an equivalent, which can be sold to Reincarnation Paradise at any time to obtain 500,000 ounces of space-time power).】
【You have obtained a Flawless Space-Time Stone (this item is equivalent to the value of 500,000 ounces of space-time power in this judgment).】
A "Space-Time Stone" about the size of a fist, brilliant with flowing light, appeared in front of Su Xiao. It was also his first time seeing this 【Flawless Space-Time Stone】. He took a photo with his terminal and sent it to the Tuanzhang, which was done in one go, both to share good things and to ask for the price.
The Tuanzhang's reply was that it was a good thing, and he offered 490,000 ounces of space-time power. Very good, the highest value of this item was to sell it to Reincarnation Paradise, saving 10,000 in middleman fees.
1 million ounces of space-time power were tucked into the currency column of his storage space. In the past, this was definitely a huge sum, but now, Heaven-Blade Slash, this ultimate gold-swallowing beast, was indeed too resource-hungry.
The subsequent upgrade route was very simple: prioritize the Heaven-Blade Slash ability. After filling it up, he would upgrade his Supreme attributes without reservation. From the perspective of combat power conversion rate, Heaven-Blade Slash after Lv. 100 was stronger, and after this ability reached Lv. 100, there had always been a vague feeling that some kind of trait would appear, but it was still brewing.
Regarding this, Su Xiao chose to wait patiently. The longer such abilities brewed, the higher the subsequent explosive improvement.
Taking Beini, who was sleeping on his lap, and picking up the small nest placed aside, Su Xiao stood up and came to the Honor Shop. He opened the Honor Shop with a clear goal.
【You have paid 105 Reincarnation Badges.】
【You have obtained the Initial Source of Life (Astral Wonder).】
"Initial Source of Life (Astral Wonder): After drinking, it will judge from the first passive bonus you obtained, until the moment you drink the "Initial Source of Life", all the miscellaneous passive trait gains you obtained during this period will be completely fused and absorbed by the relevant body traits (that is, a capability mastered at the First Tier that increases physical defense by 10 points will be absorbed by your own physical defense, becoming the defense of your own physique's initial state)."
And some passive bonuses that are no longer compatible with your current physique and ability system will be converted into your "Source Power", nourishing various potentials of your body. When you complete the above improvements, you will obtain "Life Power Leap", which is an increase of 10%–15% in all Supreme attributes (undetermined according to the current Supreme attribute strength), and give you the "Power Devour" effect.
Warning: "Power Devour" will definitely change the traits of your "Law-Extinguishing Talent/Hunter Shadow", allowing it to obtain??? power after extreme awakening.
Warning: To withstand this power, you need an extremely powerful physique.
Warning: To withstand this power, you need an extremely powerful soul.
Warning: To withstand this power, you need an extremely powerful will."
Look at them one by one!
……
Su Xiao had not yet submitted the "Law-Extinguishing Talent Awakening Mission" until now, and this was the reason.
【Initial Source of Life】 was very important. Its fusion into one, simply put, was to have his own physique devour and absorb all the trivial passive bonuses of the past, turning zero into a whole. For Su Xiao, a master of techniques, this was an invisible and huge improvement.
The so-called Extreme Master pursued simplicity from complexity. This improvement perfectly matched this point.
As for the powerful physique, will, and soul required by "Power Devour", Su Xiao possessed them all now. He picked up the strangely shaped container in front of him with one hand and drank the golden-green semi-fluid liquid inside. As soon as the liquid entered his mouth, it flowed into his abdomen as if it had life.
A feeling of warmth overflowed throughout his body. This was the "10%–15% increase in all Supreme attributes" taking effect. About six hours later, Su Xiao's all Supreme attributes became:
Life Core: 29/29.
Supreme Strength: 1150.
Supreme Agility: 1150.
Supreme Stamina: 1150.
Supreme Intelligence: 1150.
All Supreme attributes increased by 10%. With Su Xiao's current physique, an increase of 10% was already very good. In addition, this was the first time he obtained an "Extreme Passive" improvement after his attributes broke through 1000.
【Your all Supreme attributes have reached 1100 points; you have obtained "Extreme Passive/Might of the Extreme Master"!】
【Might of the Extreme Master (Passive): Your blade technique slash strength/power is increased by 120% on the current limit basis (including normal attacks and the power derivation of all blade technique moves).】
This improvement was an enlarged version of "Hegemon Power/Blade (Passive)". The problem was that Su Xiao's current combat power was completely different from when he mastered "Hegemon Power/Blade (Passive)".
It was no wonder that the following prompts appeared in the previous few choices:
"Important Note: This choice is extremely important and concerns your combat style in the late stage of the peak realm. You need to choose with the most cautious attitude."
And this improvement, to make an analogy, suppose the previous blade technique comprehensive slash power was 100, and after a 50% increase, it reached 150. Now it must be at least 2800–3000. After all, the Extreme Master becomes more outrageous the more it accumulates, which is "blade technique comprehensive slash power 3000 × 120% = 3600", and finally 3000 + 3600 equals "blade technique comprehensive slash power 6600".
The Extreme-type itself is outrageous, and the Extreme Master is even more outrageous. This makes people want to pile all 1 million ounces of space-time power into Supreme attributes and increase Supreme attributes by more than 100 points, but this is too unbalanced. The Extreme Master only has "Extreme Physique" and no "Master Power". After all, it cannot be an incremental increase where 1+1 finally equals 5.
And after "fusing into one" through the 【Initial Source of Life】 this time, the trivial passives Su Xiao accumulated in the past were either simply absorbed to improve his source life force or fused into his body attributes. This feeling of instant freshness was very wonderful.
Just as Su Xiao was experiencing the wonderful feeling of "fusing into one", the "Power Devour" trait awakened by the 【Initial Source of Life】 arrived. This made his eyes go dark. Relying on his amazing physique, he was not sent into a dream, but after his eyes went dark again, he was sent into a dream.
Wind Sea Continent, Abyssal moderately eroded area.
This was no longer the Wind Sea Continent of the past. This was already the territory of the Abyssal race/Azguk family, which was the Fish family's territory.
The dark sky, the setting sun like blood on the horizon, everything on the earth was in a black tone, and various drifting Abyssal creatures swam in the air as if in the sea.
Drip, drip~
Fresh blood dripped from the fingertips of a burly figure, falling into a shallow black water pool. He sat on a round stone, wearing a tattered black animal skin cloak, and gradually grinned, but he still cursed:
"These bullshit spellcasters, Bai Ye ruined their plan, they didn't chase Bai Ye, but actually chased me?"
White Bull wiped the blood on his face and grinned. It could only be said that White Bull's ability to escape for his life was no less than in his younger years.
Multiple Supreme spellcasters surrounded and killed White Bull. If it were someone else, one-on-one, they would definitely lose against a spellcaster of the same rank, let alone one against several, and this time it was led by the peak realm's Raging Sea/Hels. Fortunately, White Bull successfully escaped before Raging Sea/Hels arrived and took action.
Even so, Sephilia's Li element was very difficult to withstand. If he hadn't been focused on escaping, and as an underground emperor, he wasn't good at escaping, he would have died at the hands of his enemies long ago. Although he escaped successfully, being severely injured was inevitable.
Just then, a faint light lit up on the teleportation array nearby. White Bull's expression tightened, but seeing Lucius and Tais, he felt relieved in his heart.
Even if these two didn't come looking for him, he would order his subordinates to hide in various places recently. The Arcane Eternal Star's unprovoked attack, although confusing, was very fatal.
There were eight people in total. The leader, the second-in-command/Lucius, was a man wearing a black-brown leather jacket, his trousers were a bit wrinkled, and his neck and the lower half of his face were wrapped in a dark red mask. On the belt around his waist, a long dagger with an ivory-white handle was inserted. He had a clean crew cut, and there were many fine scars on his face and head, the most obvious one of which ran through his left cheek, left eye, and spread to the top of his head.
Further back was a shirtless, strong, and fierce man. This person was the third-in-command under White Bull/Tais, followed by the fourth-in-command, the fifth was Pineapple Head, wearing a mask, and the sixth was a ponytail one-eyed female powerhouse.
"Boss, why did the Arcane Eternal Star take action? I probed the situation when I came, and none of my subordinates went to provoke them."
The second-in-command/Lucius frowned and spoke, his voice a bit hoarse, his eyes calm and cold, looking like a ruthless person at a glance.
"The spellcasters suddenly went crazy. Tais, you go back to our old nest in a while."
White Bull spoke, but he ordered the third-in-command/Tais, not the second-in-command. This was not strange. Compared to the second-in-command who vaguely had ability and rebellion, Tais's ability was a bit worse, but he was more loyal.
Tais nodded, came to White Bull's side, helped the boss take off his cloak, took bandages from the fifth, and began to bandage White Bull. Among those present, only he was most trusted by White Bull and could treat White Bull at such a close distance.
"Lucius, our trouble this time is not small, but..."
White Bull spoke to this point.
Puchi!
A sharp knife suddenly pierced through White Bull's back from behind, and this weapon with causal power made White Bull's body numb for a moment.
Puchi!
The long dagger with an ivory-white handle stabbed into White Bull's throat. The second-in-command/Lucius gritted his teeth and stirred the dagger with a certain amplitude, causing blood to gush out from the wound and White Bull's mouth and nose.
Puchi, puchi, puchi!
Daggers or short knives stabbed into various parts of White Bull's body one after another. The power he was about to explode began to extinguish. Being surrounded and attacked by multiple Supreme powerhouses, escaping to this place was already at the end of his strength. Various life-saving means were exhausted. In addition, this was surrounded and killed by spellcasters. He dared not have any reservations, and he didn't even have a chance to escape, let alone the third-in-command/Tais's weapon with elemental causal power was indeed too fatal.
In a state of being at the end of his strength, being backstabbed by a trusted confidant with such a weapon, plus the second-in-command/Lucius immediately opened his throat with a dagger, and subsequent multiple confidants swarmed up, even White Bull, who was experienced in being chased, could only grab the second-in-command/Lucius's leather collar with one hand, his eyes wide on his face with bulging veins.
"Tais..."
Hearing White Bull say this, Tais was already prepared for the subsequent insults. His lips trembled, not because his family was threatened.
At the beginning of the enemy threatening him to do this, they killed his family one by one in front of him. If he didn't do this, those brothers who were loyal to him would die even worse, and everything this time was indeed what the person he followed was greedy for, something that shouldn't be greedy for.
But these were just inducements. The most critical reason was that when Tais held this backstabbing weapon, the third-ranked weapon in the entire Astral Realm named "Betrayal", everything was doomed.
"Quick, run."
"Wh, what?"
Tais was stunned. He looked at the short knife named "Betrayal" in his hand and was stupid there for a while. In fact, it was because of this that after backstabbing White Bull, "Betrayal" shed all disguises, and White Bull immediately recognized the aura of this weapon. The causal trait of this weapon was too iconic, so he told Tais to run.
Puchi!
One knife opened his throat. The second-in-command/Lucius did not hesitate at all, and what he held was a backstabbing weapon only weaker than "Disdain", or rather, the current unawakened Disdain had less lethality than this "Throat Opener".
Tais covered his throat spraying blood and fell down with a thud. By this time, White Bull lost his strength, couldn't grab the second-in-command/Lucius's collar, and fell to the ground.
"Remember, I once said."
The second-in-command/Lucius spoke in a deep voice. White Bull, whose pupils began to dim, suddenly recalled what the other party meant.
Many years ago, Void/Mamonmod Fortress/Main City/Rear City Area.
Chaos was the main theme here. The Demon race that controlled this place clearly didn't intend to interfere because this was an excellent place for the Demon race to sell stolen goods. That afternoon, White Bull, who was still a small leader, went to the territory of a hostile gang alone.
After a fierce battle, White Bull, stained with blood, sat on the steps on the street, looking at Lucius, who was bruised and swollen on the bench opposite, and he said:
"Recognize me as the boss from now on? How about it? Anyway, that fat pig has also stopped breathing."
White Bull pointed to Lucius's original boss, a giant who had been broken in the neck by him and weighed at least 500 kilograms. It is worth mentioning that White Bull was about three meters tall at that time.
Lucius didn't speak. Seeing this, White Bull said: "Then I'll take it as you agreed."
After speaking, White Bull stood up with his hands on his knees and spat out a bloody phlegm.
Lucius said: "If one day, you lead me to death, I will kill you and replace you."
"Oh? Hahaha, good, let's see if you have that ability."
After speaking, White Bull's big hand pressed on Lucius's shoulder. Lucius frowned and was a bit disgusted by the other party's enthusiasm, but he didn't directly reject the other party's face.
Just like that, the two walked forward, and there were more and more subordinates on both sides. White Bull's height gradually increased, the heroism on his face turned to calm and violence, and Lucius became more and more old-fashioned and sinister.
There were more and more people around them, and their expressions were more and more like this. The two kept moving forward, experiencing huge turning points again and again. Among them, what made them jump into a third-rate force in the Void was that the two rebelled against the confidants around the old boss, surrounded and stabbed the old boss to death in the main seat of the restaurant in his home, and after that, none of his family members were left alive.
Rain fell, falling on White Bull's face, which had lost its breath and became gray. The second-in-command/Lucius flipped the dagger in his hand, and with the help of several others, dug open White Bull's chest, cut open his heart, and took out an activated "Elemental Magic Core" from it.
Seeing this thing, the second-in-command/Lucius felt relieved in his heart. He took out a communicator, dialed it, and said: "Mr. Hels."
The person the second-in-command/Lucius contacted was the peak powerhouse of the Arcane Eternal Star/Raging Sea/Hels.
"Speak."
Raging Sea/Hels spoke, which made the second-in-command/Lucius slowly exhale and say:
"The "Elemental Magic Core" has been found, in White Bull's heart."
"Is that so? Are there any cracks on it? Is there any dimness or decay?"
"No, it seems to have been... activated? It has already begun to nourish White Bull's power."
"Oh? Is it activated like a heart beating?"
"Yes."
Getting this clear answer from the second-in-command/Lucius, Raging Sea/Hels on the opposite side smiled and was very satisfied with this. Clearly, he was determining whether White Bull was going to use the "Elemental Magic Core" himself or sacrifice it to open and obtain something. The answer was the former, so Raging Sea/Hels was so satisfied.
From the moment White Bull obtained the "Elemental Magic Core", the terrifying elemental causal volume made it impossible to know what White Bull had done through divination and prophecy, unless a certain strongest diviner in the Astral Realm was still alive, and that strongest diviner had already died in the God Realm.
"Bring that "Elemental Magic Core" back, and then we and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will support you in replacing White Bull."
Raging Sea/Hels on the opposite side finished speaking and hung up the communication.
The second-in-command/Lucius looked at the "Elemental Magic Core" in his hand and then at White Bull, who had fallen in the mud and was already dead.
"Is this your ending?"
The "Throat Opener" in the second-in-command/Lucius's hand was inserted into the leather sheath.
Suddenly, White Bull, who had fallen in the mud and was already dead, had his gray but strong right-hand fingers twitch.
Bang!!!
A big hand fiercely pinched the second-in-command/Lucius's throat. A wave of air spread. Lucius was lifted by his neck, his feet more than three meters off the ground. His throat was completely shattered, and a burst of violent physical power surged in his body, making him unable to make the action of pulling out the "Throat Opener" again. As for the others, their bodies were shattered and scattered everywhere.
White Bull still had a gray face, but in his eyes, golden-red pupils had emerged. This was his "Peak Ten Thousand Beast Power" when he climbed to the peak realm in the past. This was also his trump card that was not a trump card, because using this means meant he was already dead, even if he stood up again, he couldn't last for a while before dying.
No matter what, White Bull was a person who had climbed to the peak of the Supreme realm in the past. Even if he continued to decline later, he had finally taken this step. For so many years, major forces dared not move his forces because they were worried about whether he could briefly return to the peak at the cost of his life. The answer was no.
But if White Bull died, the out-of-control "Peak Ten Thousand Beast Power" would definitely erupt.
Just like now, it was not that White Bull had restored his strength, but that the "Peak Ten Thousand Beast Power" was completely out of control. This power that even the master was backlashed by showed its ferocity. This power would not erupt like this when White Bull was still alive. This power was indeed backlashing the master, but it was not that exaggerated. But once White Bull died, this power that had been nourished to the peak realm erupted immediately.
Slap!
The second-in-command/Lucius exploded. The "Elemental Magic Core" flew up. On the way down, it was held by White Bull with one hand. It threw this thing into its mouth, bit it with a crack, swallowed it, and the "Peak Ten Thousand Beast Power" that temporarily had a source began to stabilize from the beginning of decline.
Three days, White Bull had about three days. He raised his hand, looking at his right hand, which was not gray but had cracks. Its causality was broken. After three days, he would definitely die, and no one could save him.
Confirming this, White Bull standing in the torrential rain felt relieved instead. His old friend's daughter was sent to the Ten Thousand Races Realm by someone, which was Bai Ye's territory, where spellcasters dared not set foot. His closest sister died, and the subordinates he trusted most as family also died. Now, he had lost everything and had no worries. Then what he should worry about was the person who made him lose these.
The Abyssal catastrophe was coming, making major forces in the Void tense their nerves, but the Void was already undercurrents, belonging to the kind that would ignite when lit, and White Bull was now simply a powder keg. The situation in the Void would be detonated by it, that is, the chaotic battle in the Void was about to begin. ===== CHAPTER 4131 =====
