Chapter 4132: Contact Platform

Su Xiao, who enjoyed a meal, returned to his exclusive room and came to the quiet room used for meditation. Having continuously improved himself, especially awakening the Law-Extinguishing talent, he felt that even with 1150 stamina, he needed to slow down before making other improvements. Since that was the case, he would improve his sealing studies.

Taking out the 【Sage's Codex】, under normal circumstances, the Soul Library would not lend out this sealing object, as the knowledge it contained was too dangerous. But if the borrower was holding six Original Sin Objects, ah no, now it was seven, then the risks corresponding to the "Sage's Codex" could be fully borne by the borrower. Even if an accident occurred, it wouldn't affect the innocent.

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

This also corresponded to the three sages in the codex: Forbidden Sage, Soul Sage, and Silent Sage. Su Xiao felt that he should have the highest compatibility with the "Silent Sage" who represented sealing studies. After all, his current sealing studies had reached Lv. 94, only 6 levels away from the full level of Lv. 100.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the "Sage's Codex". This book was made of metal, and there were three metal faces on the cover. The left face was a furious middle-aged man, the middle was an old man, and the right was a cold and proud female face. As his hand touched the blank space, the eyelids of the three Silent Sages trembled, but the result was... the Soul Sage opened her eyes.

"Law-Extinguisher? Oh ho ho ho~, how wonderful."

The cold and proud female face, which was the Soul Sage, was actually not cold and proud. Laughing had the feeling of a noble lady covering her mouth and laughing with a blue-bottomed gold-threaded feather folding fan.

"However, it's really powerful. I like powerful individuals. Well then, I will pass on the knowledge that cursed me to you."

The Soul Sage's face cracked, and a hand with bright red nails and fair skin crawled out from the cracked face, like a spider crawling out of a hole. A moment later, a lady in a court gold-white evening dress, holding a blue-bottomed gold-threaded feather folding fan, but without a head, stood in front of the "Sage's Codex".

"Very confused? Why am I the first to appear? Law-Extinguishing boy, guess, in the ancient era, who was the strongest pharmacist?"

The gold feather folding fan in the Soul Sage's hand closed and pressed against Su Xiao's chest. She had no or invisible head, as if leaning to Su Xiao's ear, and whispered:

"It's me, oh. It's just that our ways of preparing potions are different. The pharmacists of our time were called warlocks, specializing in array formulas, using array formulas to complete high-precision preparation. Your era's potion technology has progressed a lot, actually gradually moving away from array formulas, but this is also the link you lack the most."

Hearing this, Su Xiao finally knew why his potion studies had always been unable to reach Lv. 100, and why those few highest-difficulty potions had always failed to prepare. Clearly, he had a good grasp, but after actual preparation, he always felt that something was missing.

The Soul Sage raised one hand, and with a hum, layers of formulas shrouded this place. Her invisible head, as if the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful arc, elegantly said: "Go to sleep, Law-Extinguisher."

Under the impact of such a massive array, falling into a coma immediately was the norm. This was harmless, but could gradually understand these formulas in the illusion.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the Soul Sage. The closed gold feather folding fan in the Soul Sage's hand pointed at Su Xiao, as if preparing to let this Law-Extinguisher fall into a dream under the impact of a massive amount of "Array Diagrams" with this finger.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. The "Soul Sage" was an existence that had existed for I don't know how many years. The gold feather folding fan in her hand flipped and pressed against the "Sage's Codex", and her body gradually turned into various array formula imprints and returned to the "Sage's Codex".

Su Xiao carefully felt the various formulas around him. He didn't need excessive understanding or comprehension, he just needed to master them. His potion studies had long passed the accumulation stage. Reaching Lv. 99 potion studies was like a puzzle that had been put together 99.9999%, leaving only the last piece in the center. Now that he got this piece, the difficulty of putting it on was certainly not great.

A few hours later, the various array diagrams in the quiet room dissipated, and the "Sage's Codex" also entered a state of silence. This sealing object only released one sage every period of time.

Looking at the appearance, it would take at least decades to release the next sage. Regarding this, Su Xiao was not worried. The reason why this thing was regarded as a sealing object, besides the dangerous knowledge inside, was also because of its trait of devouring fate.

Regarding this, Su Xiao didn't care. He was sealing the "Fate Coin", so the "Sage's Codex" could devour as much fate as it wanted. In theory, these devoured fates were not his.

Su Xiao came to the alchemy laboratory. From the several top-tier potion formulas he had collected, he chose one, and then exchanged for relevant materials at the price of 1560 ounces. If it were before, he would definitely not choose this secret medicine called "Extreme Body Shell". Among the several top-tier potion formulas, this potion's materials were the most expensive, and Su Xiao's grasp of preparing this potion was the lowest.

He had previously found five top-tier potion formulas in the Golden Library of the Alchemy Faction. Four of them were formulas of the current era's potion study system, and only the "Extreme Body Shell" formula was incompatible with the current era's potion studies, which used to be dominated by array formulas.

Su Xiao didn't understand before, so he always tried to prepare the simplest "Sky Secret Medicine" among the five formulas. Now, he understood what was going on.

First of all, the potion studies of the current great era was an improved and enhanced version of the ancient era/potion study inheritance. This was the contribution of the alchemy faction to potion knowledge that could not be ignored.

If the comprehensive strength of the current potion studies was 1000, then the comprehensive strength of the ancient era/potion studies was about 800–850. With the inheritance of the previous era, it was certainly the contemporary era that had developed for longer that was more excellent. This was unquestionable.

However, the contemporary potion studies were covered in alchemy, and contemporary alchemy had always been enhanced by "Causal Runes".

This led to the fact that in the Second Era alchemy civilization, when a potion master reached Lv. 99 in potion studies, there were two choices in total: either continue to move forward on this route and rely on the enhancement of "Causal Runes" to complete the last missing piece of the puzzle, or use the ancient era's method and use array formulas to complete the last bit of deficiency.

The reason why Su Xiao's potion studies had always been stuck was that his method of impacting Lv. 100 had always been the first one, that is, continuing to spread forward along the current potion study knowledge. The problem was that he had made the "Causal Runes" no longer enhance alchemy, lifting the curse of alchemy.

From the alchemy that gradually rose in the Void and the many potion masters that appeared, one could see this point.

It is worth mentioning that some top geniuses in potion studies were really outrageous. After the curse disappeared, their potion studies improved further.

Very interestingly, they once sneered at the saying that "Saint Flame Pharmacist" was the strongest pharmacist in the Astral Realm. As for why they didn't say it, it was both because of that person's strength and because that person was in the evil faction. Even if it was rumored that that person's mind was not narrow, what if?

But when the level of these pharmacists generally increased, they studied Saint Flame Pharmacist's works again. Not only did they not fully understand the potion because of their own progress, but they appeared to have a feeling of a mayfly seeing the blue sky. In the past, they sneered because they couldn't understand the core structure of this potion at all.

Even so, Su Xiao was sure that those pharmacists who were hit to the point of not saying a word would catch up with him sooner or later. After all, potion studies were his side profession, and he wouldn't put his main energy into it.

Originally, there were two paths to improve to Lv. 100 in potion studies.

1. Alchemy Pharmacist.

2. Ancient Pharmacist.

What Su Xiao impacted before was the Alchemy Pharmacist. However, this path had completely disappeared with the "Causal Runes" no longer enhancing alchemy. The problem was that there really were Alchemy Pharmacists in the past, and they left various records about how to take this step.

And what Su Xiao wanted to achieve now was the Ancient Pharmacist, which was the only path that could reach Lv. 100 in potion studies.

Various materials were prepared properly, and he began to prepare the secret medicine. It was still the same technique as in the past, but the feeling was completely different. With the help of array formulas, those blockages and difficult-to-flow catalysis now spread along the guidance of array formulas like liquid, as if water was flowing.

When the preparation was completed, a bottle of golden secret medicine was placed on the preparation table.

【Your potion studies have been improved to Lv. EX.】

【Extreme Body Shell (Peak)】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise/Saint Flame Pharmacist.

Quality: Reincarnation-class/Rare.

Type: Permanent gain potion.

Effect: Permanently increase all Supreme main attributes by 6 points.

Peak Grade Bonus: After drinking, additionally increase all Supreme main attributes by 6 points.

Prompt: Drinking this potion is invalid if Supreme attributes reach 1500 points or more.

Warning: Do not drink this potion repeatedly, as this will cause immeasurable physical damage, and repeated drinking has no gain effect.

Score: 28,500 points (Reincarnation-class item score is 15,000–30,000 points).

Introduction: To be determined.

Price: To be determined.

A total increase of 12 points in Supreme main attributes. Those who can ascend to the peak of the Supreme realm are generally developed with four or even five attributes. If it weren't for Su Xiao's Charm attribute being too heaven-defying, it wouldn't have been impossible to develop five attributes.

Compromise a bit, according to 4.5 attribute development, it is 12 × 4.5 = 54. A bottle of potion immediately increases 54 points of Supreme attributes. The combat power strength gain brought by this is definitely higher than a Reincarnation-class equipment with a score of 21,000–23,000 points (excluding the weapon part).

A Reincarnation-class equipment with a score of 21,000–23,000 points that fits oneself has a price in the range of 90,000–100,000 ounces of space-time power. Of course, this is without that kind of "needs XXX recognition to be used" Reincarnation-class equipment.

And, this is permanently enhancing oneself, the price needs to increase by 50%–60% again, which is about the 150,000-ounce range.

Considering that except for the Extreme-type, it is generally difficult for other peak powerhouses to improve their physique, its value increases by another 30%, about 200,000 ounces of space-time power.

When the price reaches this range, it involves the issue of cost-effectiveness. Gritting his teeth and saving up to more than 300,000 ounces to exchange for a powerful legendary weapon, the combat power improvement is not comparable to 54 points of Supreme attributes.

100,000 ounces a bottle! The cost-effectiveness is directly pulled to the full, and the materials for this thing are only 1560 ounces, earning 64 times.

Don't feel that this is a black-hearted price. How many Supreme peak powerhouses are there in the current six major paradise lineups in total? In addition, after reaching this rank, when two peak Qiyuezhe enter the same world, the party with the lower combat power assessment will receive a large number of warning prompts and be given a clear combat power difference ratio.

As a result, as long as both sides have no death feud, the party with weaker comprehensive combat power will definitely leave, because under this premise, that party's paradise lineup will not even issue main missions, so there is no talk of the cost of leaving the world.

This led to the fact that once a paradise lineup reaches the Supreme peak, it is actually very difficult to meet in a mission world. Su Xiao walked as a lone wolf all the way, and ascended quickly. Except for the exception of the Tuanzhang, naturally, there were no Supreme peak powerhouses in the paradise lineup that he knew.

This is also why, when in the God Realm, Su Xiao could still meet strong people in the paradise lineup like Soul Master, Aurora, etc., but when he arrived at Meteor Fall, except for the priest who was not a peak but still dangerous, he didn't meet other Qiyuezhe of the same rank.

Other Supreme peak powerhouses in the paradise lineup were doing long-term missions, and also because the world matching mechanism of the Tree of the Void would not easily match two Supreme peak powerhouses into one world.

In addition, he beheaded the God of the Underworld this time. If the Supreme peak powerhouses of the Apocalypse, Holy Light, and Holy Domain parties match Su Xiao into the same mission world later, they will definitely apply for withdrawal immediately. The old brothers of Death might still fight him hard. As for the Dawn Paradise, well, it's not very likely for the time being. After all, it has just revived. Even if there is a peak realm, it will definitely not let it fight Su Xiao hard.

Simply put, it is the first sentence. Every Supreme peak powerhouse in the paradise lineup is ascended by their own efforts plus massive paradise resources. No matter what the ultimate goal of the several paradise lineups is, they will definitely not let the Supreme peak powerhouses under their command lose their lives easily before the final battle.

Of course, this does not mean that becoming a Supreme peak powerhouse can get the protection of the paradise lineup. If you court death, you will die. The initial regulations determine that the paradise lineup will not provide active protection to the Supreme peak powerhouse, at most giving warning prompts.

Su Xiao opened the communication list and contacted the Tuanzhang:

Bai Ye: "【Extreme Body Shell (Peak)】."

A few minutes later, the Tuanzhang replied:

Tuanzhang: "Good thing, price?"

Bai Ye: "1560 ounces of space-time power."

Tuanzhang: "Did you receive a special mission?"

Bai Ye: "No."

Tuanzhang: "Then what kind of charity are you doing."

Bai Ye: "Material price."

Tuanzhang: "Oh, how much are you preparing to sell for?"

Bai Ye: "100,000–120,000 ounces."

Tuanzhang: "Bai Ye, do you feel that it's too late for me to study potion studies now?"

Ignoring the Tuanzhang's last question, Su Xiao sent this potion to the Tuanzhang by email. After a while, the Tuanzhang replied:

Tuanzhang: "Why didn't you send it in the peak contact platform?"

Bai Ye: "What?"

Tuanzhang: "After you ascended to the peak, didn't you receive an invitation from the Tree of the Void's peak contact platform?"

Bai Ye: "【Tree of the Void Credibility: 1 point.】"

Tuanzhang: "Wait."

Tuanzhang: "Oh, by the way, 【Tree of the Void Credibility: 99.82 million points.】"

Does this quantity look very exaggerated? In fact, it is not at all. Don't forget what the Tuanzhang has done. If it weren't for him breaking into the abyss and fighting the previous generation's Abyssal Lord, the current Astral Realm would have entered the Abyssal Era.

The Tuanzhang's current 【Tree of the Void Credibility】 makes people suspect whether the full value of this thing is 100 million. The Tuanzhang dropped from 100 million to 99.82 million.

【Prompt: You received the proxy application result, and you will successfully join the peak contact platform.】

【Peak contact platform entry qualification: Comprehensive combat power reaches "Supreme Peak", and Tree of the Void credibility is above 100 points.】

It can be seen that the "credibility threshold" set by the Tree of the Void is low enough, but heaven has unpredictable clouds, and it still stuck a certain Hunter.

【Prompt: Because you joined the "peak contact platform" through the proxy application method, and your current Tree of the Void credibility is low, and there is a shocking precedent of -????.】

【Given your various dangerous behaviors in the past, and the combat power currently sufficient to kill the strongest ancient god, your platform authority is temporarily in a locked state. You can speak in the peak contact platform after 12 hours, and can speak without limit after 24 hours. You can open the branch list of this prompt to view the speaking rules of the peak contact platform, and within 24 hours, all your authorities in the peak contact platform will be unlocked normally.】

A contact platform list that is simpler in style than the world contact platform but looks more pleasing to the eye appeared in front of him.

Regarding the above prompt, Su Xiao was very calm. To get something, you have to pay for it. His past Tree of the Void credibility of -???? was caused by obtaining massive resources through 'slightly' unreasonable operations. Of course, he had to be prepared to face the corresponding price.

Closing the contact platform, Su Xiao came to the innermost part of the alchemy experiment. Amu, who had been waiting here for a few minutes, mooed and stood on the pitch-black Law-Extinguishing teleportation array. This was the trial it was about to perform, going to the Abyssal near area. If possible, it would continue to go deep to complete this trial.

On Amu's big arm, there was a very unique follower brand. This was what Su Xiao had just applied for with his own Hunter authority. This follower brand had enough storage space for Amu to carry various materials.

"Moo."

Amu's expression was firm. Seeing this, Su Xiao activated the Law-Extinguishing teleportation array.

Boom!

Amu disappeared on the teleportation array. Instead, the small heads of Bubu Wang, Baha, and Beini poked out from the sides of the door behind. In fact, they had all come long ago, but Amu hated parting, so they didn't show up.

The communicator held by Baha rang. After Baha connected, the voice of the Abyssal Daughter came from inside:

"Bai Ye, my mother agreed to this deal. That terrifying tauren will not encounter an ancient Abyssal existence that is absolutely impossible to resist, but it still has a very high probability of dying in the abyss, at least that's what I think."

The communication hung up. Su Xiao left the alchemy laboratory. The next second, a prompt appeared.

【Because you collected Iron-Blood Dark Wolf (Fragment) 20/20, Hegemon Equipment/Iron-Blood Dark Wolf has completed this fusion.】

The cooperation with the Iron-Blood Hounds this time was quite smooth. Not long after he returned, E-Zhao sent a message via communicator, indicating that the fragments had been collected. The subsequent transaction was easy to handle, completed by Baha and Black Leech. There were Iron-Blood Hound summoning formulas in the alchemy laboratory that could be activated at any time.

【Iron-Blood Dark Wolf】

Origin: Underworld/Hegemon Creature/Iron-Blood Mad Wolf.

Quality: Hegemon-class/Fourth Place.

Category: Boots.

Durability: 1500/1500 points.

Equipment Requirement: Supreme Strength 500 points, Supreme Stamina 850 points.

Equipment Effect 1: Mad Wolf Devouring Life (Passive), all your melee body attacks will carry "Causal Attack Trait".

Prompt: If it already carries "Causal Attack Trait", and is enough to temporarily shatter the enemy's "Causal Fate", then the Mad Wolf will bite the enemy's "Causal Fate".

Equipment Effect 2: Mad Wolf's Fury (Passive), one of your melee body attack traits (currently default choice is kick) will increase the attack strength by the number of current life cores × 0.5 times.

That is: "Current total kick attack strength" increased by 14.5 times.

Score: 30,000 points (Hegemon-class equipment score is 1–30,000 points).

Introduction: Hunting, killing, madness.

Price: Cannot be sold.

The equipment of the fourth-ranked Hegemon Equipment was already outrageous, and it was so compatible with Su Xiao, making his straight kick power reach a new height again.

Just then, the communicator on the table rang, it was White Bull:

"Bai Ye."

White Bull's voice was a bit low, even... a bit dead?

This made Su Xiao frown, waiting for White Bull's next words.

"I want to go to the Arcane Eternal Star, is there a way?"

"Even if the Supreme One doesn't take action, this is seeking death."

"I, have already died, hehehe."

"..."

Su Xiao was silent for a few seconds before continuing: "There is a way."

"I knew you had a way. It seems that, just like what the Tuanzhang said, my fate is exhausted. But even if I retire, I must be grand."

In White Bull's tone, there was no fear of death. Perhaps he had long thought of his end. After all, becoming the emperor of the underground world, there were too many enemies, and his subordinates were doing all kinds of evil, which would inevitably attract more hatred. With such an amount of hatred, having a good end was a strange thing.

A moment later, Su Xiao hung up the communication and let Beini send an Aoge Crystal to the large gathering place and hand it to the person entrusted by White Bull. This thing was a super-enhanced version of the Law-Extinguishing teleportation array.

Three hours later.

Void, Arcane Eternal Star/Star Square.

Boom!

A vibration of transmission spread. The space interference tower a few kilometers away was dim and uncertain, and finally extinguished, but it didn't shatter. This was the first space interference tower to withstand the Law-Extinguishing teleportation array.

White Bull stood on the Star Square amidst the stunned gazes of the surrounding spellcasters. He looked at the young generation members of several spellcasters beside him, and his claws swept across, and these young spellcasters immediately turned into fragments.

White Bull looked not far away, at the Eternal Magic Tower located above, and he fiercely jumped up. After breaking through layers of barriers, he punched it, and a large number of cracks appeared.

It had to be said that this thing representing the face of the Arcane Eternal Star was really strong, even if the symbolic meaning of this thing was much higher than its function, otherwise it wouldn't stand here. Every "Arcane Festival" on the front page of the newspaper was this building.

The sound of breaking wind came from afar, it was the Raging Wind King. White Bull's eyes met it, and he grinned.

White Bull appeared here and killed spellcasters on the spot, punching the face of the Arcane Eternal Star. This was no longer a matter of slapping the Arcane Eternal Star. In fact, White Bull never thought that with his current state of "Peak Ten Thousand Beast Power running wild", he could limit one-for-one the peak powerhouse of the Arcane Eternal Star. That was indeed looking down on the spellcaster system, and it was also too cheap for the Arcane Eternal Star.

Still the same sentence, once the Arcane Eternal Star bleeds, major forces in the Astral Realm will consider pulling it off the altar. In the final analysis, the culprit who caused this Abyssal catastrophe is the spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star. If it weren't for them wantonly devouring elements, clearly the abyss and elements were out of balance, and the contemporary Abyssal Lord could not take advantage of the situation to trigger the Abyssal catastrophe.

However, what White Bull was doing at this time was to let everyone in the Astral Realm know that God didn't bleed, and this God of the Arcane Eternal Star didn't care about the Arcane Eternal Star. The "Star Square" was located below the 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】, and the Supreme One was inside the 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】.

White Bull didn't just find a place to teleport over. It was clearly mentioned that the closer to the 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】, the better, and the Star Square located below the 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】 was undoubtedly the best choice.

Under normal circumstances, this series of actions by White Bull would inevitably be instantly crushed by the Supreme One. In the Void that was about to be detonated, only such deterrence could prevent all subsequent things from happening.

And everyone knew this, including the spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star. They didn't immediately swarm up to surround and kill White Bull, in fact, they were waiting.

However, the Supreme One didn't take action, and didn't even bother to look at White Bull and a crowd of spellcasters. This was the same as the speculation of other big shots in the Astral Realm, but everyone didn't dare to bet.

"Ah hahahaha!"

White Bull, who was fighting in blood under the suppression and siege of full-sky long-range spells, let out a wild laugh like a heroic ghost, which made the faces of the high-level Arcane Eternal Star very ugly.

Not long after, the leaders of major forces in the Astral Realm all knew about this through their respective intelligence channels. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden at all. The Arcane Eternal Star was such a large force that it was impossible not to have half an undercover agent, not to mention that the matter happened on the Star Square of the Arcane Eternal Star, which was an area often open to visitors by the Arcane Eternal Star.

The leaders of major forces in the Astral Realm almost all had an idea: join forces immediately to surround and kill the Arcane Eternal Star. This concerns everyone's safety. If these spellcasters are killed, can the Abyssal Doomsday catastrophe come later? Facing this life-and-death survival, the big shots in the Astral Realm are willing to gamble.

And the God of the Arcane Eternal Star, the one that major forces in the Astral Realm couldn't resist, White Bull's move had already proven one thing.

God, doesn't care.

The strongest hegemon force that dominates this era is about to face the siege of major forces in the Astral Realm. There is no doubt that the strongest enemy the Arcane Eternal Star is about to face is named Shadow of Law-Extinguishing/Kukulin/Bai Ye. ===== CHAPTER 4133 =====
