Chapter 4137

Su Xiao arrived at the room where the Awakening Stele was stored, placed one hand on it, and since the Awakening Stele had received full certification, the skill list of the Annihilation Law system appeared on it, with the first entry being an ability called "Eternal Constitution," which he previously did not understand the meaning of, but now he does.

If it were before completing the awakening of the "Hunter Shadow Talent," Su Xiao would have handled this ability with extra caution, but now he only needs sufficient caution; after drinking a bottle of exclusive recovery potion, he placed one hand on the "Awakening Stele."

Su Xiao's Azure Qing Qing Gang Ying energy spread out, beginning to outline according to the core of the "Eternal Constitution" ability, and almost simultaneously, his internal Azure Qing Qing Gang Ying energy manifested an identical ability core structure; upon completion of the ability core, he saw light.

The reason he saw light was because, after falling into a dream and collapsing, he happened to see white light on the ceiling; he sat up, checked the skill list, and in the Annihilation Law column, saw a newly appeared ability.

【Eternal Constitution, (Passive).】

Skill Effect: This skill cannot grant buffs to the Extreme System·1000 Peak Attributes; it is currently ineffective for you, but can undergo one Ascension-level upgrade to become "Supreme Constitution."

Prerequisite 1: All Peak Main Attributes reach 1000 points.

Prerequisite 2: Consume 120 "Soul Energy Crystals."

Prerequisite 3: Possess sufficient vast causal mass.

Prerequisite 4: Strong Spirit (Achieved).

Important Note: If you successfully master this "Supreme Constitution" ability before successfully ascending to the Supreme Realm, then when you ascend to the Supreme Realm and complete the ascension via the highest ascension standard, you will have a certain probability of obtaining "Supreme Power·Awakening."

……

If the "Annihilation Law Talent Hunter Shadow" ascension upgrade is the way for Su Xiao to see hope in advancing toward becoming a supreme being, then "Supreme Power·Awakening" undoubtedly further increases this possibility.

The hint of 【Eternal Constitution】 made Su Xiao consider another possibility: that this ability is fundamentally not a substitute for "Star Origin Source Power" to enhance his physique, and the reason it has this trait is because the master's Peak Attributes have not reached 1000 points, resulting in "Ability Degradation Derivation."

The correct way to master 【Eternal Constitution】 is actually to master it after Peak Attributes reach 1000 points, with the effect of obtaining "Supreme Constitution" before ascending to "Supreme."

Then, by ascending to the Supreme Realm via the highest standard, massively accumulate the power that should have been used to nurture "Supreme Constitution."

Amplify this power by tenfold or even a hundredfold, achieve qualitative change through quantitative accumulation, and let these already qualitatively transformed powers enhance the already mastered traits of "Supreme Constitution," allowing the "Supreme Constitution" traits to successfully advance into "Supreme Power·Awakening."

Su Xiao weighed it down, feeling that in the near future, he could complete this elevation of 【Eternal Constitution】; moreover, without temporarily enhancing his physique, he would instead fully focus on impacting the "Heavenly Blade Shadow Slash" ability, as preparation for battling in the near Abyss region.

Even entering the Abyss alone is possible—the Abyss is vast and boundless, and he does not worry about suddenly encountering the Abyss Lord; as for pursuit by the Abyss Lord, during his stay in the Reincarnation Paradise, as long as extra permissions are sufficient, he can return to Reincarnation Paradise at any time, although returning from deep Abyss battles requires a large amount of extra permissions.

For this, Su Xiao has a solution; although he will not temporarily enter mission worlds or undergo world settlement, he can take on tasks that yield large amounts of extra permissions, which are not uncommon on the mission release machine in the Guild Hall.

The upcoming goal is especially simple: obtain a large amount of Spacetime Power.

Opening the "Peak Contact Platform," he still sees no messages; checking the communication list of the "Peak Contact Platform," Su Xiao finds it entirely blurred, only able to see the squad leader's avatar—not because relevant permissions are unopened, but because he cannot discern the status of other Peak powerhouses, which complies with the Void Tree's certification standard to avoid conflict among supreme Peak beings, subsequently leading to the emergence of offline one-on-one duels.

In the final decisive battle, every supreme Peak is crucial, so only those who actively speak in the channel can see their affiliated Paradise faction and their own codename, etc.

However, Su Xiao feels that the total number of supreme Peaks across the six Paradise factions must be considerable; saying it's merely the "Supreme Peak Seats" of the Star Realm, he does not believe it, as the Star Realm, Abyss, and Elemental all have "Supreme Peak Seats," and in this era, clearly having never heard of the Elemental faction, those many vacant "Supreme Peak Seats" certainly won't remain empty forever.

One of the long-term tasks of the Paradise factions, and surprisingly high-yielding long-term task, is what Su Xiao seems to already know: correct, it is to go to the Elemental Region, through some method, help his Paradise faction obtain the perpetually vacant "Supreme Peak Seat."

Although he does not know the exact number, blindly guessing, the number of Peak powerhouses in the "Peak Contact Platform" will not be small; moreover, one point cannot be ignored: the squad leader and the previous Abyss Lord's decisive battle was correspondingly a super-large-scale war, in which the Paradise faction's Peak powerhouses of that generation possibly had ninety percent killed, with the rest missing in action, after all, that battle had neither victory nor defeat, and such situations are often the most tragic.

The Paradise faction's assistance in power enhancement is both reasonable and logical; moreover, afterward, they even fought a Paradise Contention War.

Besides, the Paradise faction's supreme Peaks generally do not retreat; they are all gradually accumulated, and even some simply fought their way through—if they could retreat, it would be strange; conversely, the Star Realm's Peak Realm, from the First Era enduring to now, are all standard operations.

If within the Star Realm one gradually advances step by step, successfully seals the threshold, then generally lingers for half an era, or even an entire era, the Star Realm Peak Realm facing the Abyss-system Peak—how could they possibly be a match for the Abyss Peak powerhouses?

Not mentioning others, the Goblin Elder·Ma Za·Bi Ya·Duo Er Ti, during the Starfall, was he not overly cautious and conservative? Because he was the lowest in combat power among the Peak beings in this confrontation.

Yet such a Goblin Elder, in the Star Realm's Peak Realm, is also not to be provoked, after all, he has the confidence to join the争夺 of the "Heart of the Abyss."

But once the Abyss's invasion descends and the Abyss Gate officially opens, the ensuing Peak battle can be far more tragic than the Starfall.

Not mentioning others, just say the Scaleless Sea King·Niezmo—don't look at how Su Xiao hammered him into doubting fish life, but in the previous Abyss-imminent Peak battle, the Scaleless Sea King·Niezmo was indeed a fierce warrior who slaughtered in all directions, only that the intensity of the third era was too abnormal.

If Su Xiao is not mistaken, the final battle corresponding to the Abyss Cataclysm might very well be the Paradise faction's main reason for cultivating contractors to grow stronger, especially during the Cataclysm war, being able to field a Peak lineup capable of opposing the Cataclysm.

As for saying the Paradise faction directly intervenes in the Abyss Cataclysm—this is absolutely impossible, as one of the "Basic Regulations" of the major Paradise factions is: no direct intervention, execution, or tampering; this is actually not just the "Basic Regulations," for once intervention occurs, the Paradise faction will appear with self-limiting rule conflicts.

Therefore, the Paradise faction will avoid having two Peak powerhouses of the same Paradise faction fight each other; of course, this is merely a warning, not compulsory; the Paradise faction's cruelty is undeniable, but aside from mainline tasks and contention war tasks, they seem not to force their contractors to do anything, and even mainline tasks are merely risk and reward balanced.

Just like that initial choice: whether to enter the Paradise faction—if choosing no, one can simply not join, only to face the death that was already due to arrive.

Feeling himself, Su Xiao originally thought that after mastering 【Eternal Constitution】, he would feel weak for a period, but now it seems not so; in that case, he would enhance the "Extreme System·Star Realm" ability, taking out two 【Star Radiance Stones】.

【Yes/No to use Star Radiance Stone×2 to enhance Extreme System·Star Realm ability; this enhancement will bear death risk, death rate 0% (based on your Peak Main Attribute total).】

Enhancing "Extreme System·Star Realm" requires a strong physique, which was anticipated early on, and after multiple uses of this ability, he understands it more: the "Extreme System·Star Realm" Star Realm stagnation, theoretically, is to absolutely stagnate all things in a region, entering a state where it cannot operate and is absolutely invincible.

Ask, why can Su Xiao harm enemies in this region? Answer: because during the "Extreme System·Star Realm" duration, he is the only one who can partially release stagnation, which is also why he can freely move within the "Extreme System·Star Realm" region, not due to game mechanics with no reason.

When he holds a long blade, his causality naturally spreads to his own blade; when the Dragon-Slaying Flash blade edge strikes the enemy's body, the struck small part has stagnation temporarily disappear, entering a destructible state; as the long blade cuts through the enemy's body, Star Realm stagnation returns.

A more intuitive metaphor: "Extreme System·Star Realm" 'freezes' everything in the range; Su Xiao is an absolute heat source, neither frozen nor unable to move; Dragon-Slaying Flash is a blazing hot sharp blade, cutting into absolutely frozen enemies, enabling 'thermal cutting'; after completing 'scorching cutting,' the surrounding 'cold' descends again; enemies without 'heat source' will be immediately re-frozen.

This metaphor is not entirely appropriate, but very easy to understand.

This is also why, Su Xiao sometimes, when slashing enemies in the stagnant Star Realm area, enemies show blood splatter, but this blood splatter lasts less than 5 seconds before presenting as stagnant splatter in midair.

As for how Su Xiao causes Star Realm stagnation, he relies on the power of the Technique Grandmaster to forcibly terminate the operational rhythm of Star Realm in the surrounding area—this sounds difficult, and actual operation is indeed not simple.

Su Xiao opened his eyes; the sensation of enhancing "Extreme System·Star Realm" is still good, allowing deeper understanding of the Star Realm.

【Extreme System·Star Realm: ++ (Transcendent Level·Active)】

Skill Effect: You fully release your Technique Grandmaster's might, affecting Star Realm operation within a 50,000-meter radius (increased by 30,000 meters), letting this region enter "Star Realm Stagnation" state for 7 seconds; during this period, you can "Limitedly Dominate" this region to permanently seize one ability from a strong enemy, such as seizing it as a "Peak Ability"; through this region's Star Realm transformation and purification of "Star Realm System Power," you can form your permanent "Life Core," which can form 1～? units, depending on the enemy's "Peak Ability" strength; enemies permanently stripped of ability will fall into 2～3 seconds of "Absolute Weakness."

Note: If the target within "Star Realm Stagnation" is not a strong enemy and has lower overall rank than you, it will be permanently stripped of all abilities, causing an extremely high probability of immediate death; or, through "Limited Dominance" of the Star Realm area, you can perform "Absolute Dominance" on such targets, and those under "Absolute Dominance" will certainly die within 48～72 hours.

Note: Due to your further mastery of the "Extreme System·Star Realm" with "inherent traits," you can now freely re-enable/disable "Extreme System·Star Realm," even briefly activate it for as little as 1 second.

Note: Only once per natural day can this ability be used; this is the extreme usage interval derived from this trait.

……

Su Xiao feels more confident about heading to the Abyss for slaughter; at that time, he can completely, when surrounded by Abyss creatures, instantly activate "Extreme System·Star Realm," transforming large numbers of Abyss creatures into "dominated targets," letting them scatter across a large surrounding area; once they sense the Abyss Lord's aura, Su Xiao will immediately detect it, though the most critical issue is whether "Extreme System·Star Realm" can be used for stagnation within the Abyss.

As long as stagnation succeeds, "Limited Dominance" can trigger; the now greatly enhanced "Extreme System·Star Realm" might truly have some effect within the Abyss.

As for saying, when dueling the Supreme Being, if not within the Star Realm, what then? As long as you ensure that at that time, your "Extreme System·Star Realm" ability and the Supreme Being's Star Realm stagnation ability are of similar intensity, Su Xiao cannot use "Extreme System·Star Realm," nor can the opponent; both unable to use it equals nothing happening.

When dueling the Supreme Being, the role of "Extreme System·Star Realm" is mutual cancellation, not deciding victory; winning still depends on overall hard strength.

At this moment, Su Xiao suddenly felt a stirring in his storage space; he took out the stirring object, which is the 【Origin Stone·World】.

"Equipment Effect 4: Peak (Passive), upon reaching above Peak, can activate this effect."

This trait has become clearer; the "above Peak" mentioned here clearly refers not to Peak Peak, but to the Supreme Realm, and the current 【Origin Stone·World】 has partial data changes:

【Origin Stone·World】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise (determined by location at time of synthesis).

Type: Special Equipment.

Durability: 18000/18000 points.

Equipment Effect 1: Meditator (Passive), if the Hunter carries the Origin Stone, each meditation will increase current meditation ability progress by 10% (triggerable once per natural day), and allows the "Meditation" ability cap to reach 110.

Equipment Effect 2: Strength (Passive): No change.

Equipment Effect 3: Sealing (Passive): No change.

Equipment Effect 4: Peak (Passive), upon reaching above the strongest, this effect can be activated.

Equipment Effect 5: World·Chosen (Passive), you become the "Unique·Chosen", fortune cap +2,050,000 points.

Current fortune cap: 20,000,000 points.

Introduction: You are the "Chosen", and also the only one.

Sale Price: Cannot be sold, cannot be traded, cannot be transferred, must drop upon death, if the one who kills you is not worthy to possess the Origin Stone·World, this Origin Stone will shatter into five pieces.

……

Good news, becoming the current era's sole Chosen, benefits unclear, to say there are no benefits is not true, fortune rose from original increase of 50,000 to 2,050,000, this also let Su Xiao's fortune reach the threshold of -20,000,000 points.

One would think the current "Fortune Coins" would be silent, it did nothing, yet its holder actually lowered the fortune lower limit themselves.

What truly leaves one speechless is not that the "Fortune Coin" as a great-grandfather-level·original sin object does nothing, but that it quietly enhanced the sealing power of the "Book of Original Sin", same as what the "Collector" did, it seems it does not want this holder to die from backlash of multiple original sin forces, at least in the short term, that is its attitude.

After storing the 【Origin Stone·World】, Su Xiao came to the Alchemy Lab and exchanged materials for 10 portions of "Extreme Physique Shell Potion", the guild leader had previously posted sale information for "Extreme Physique Shell Potion" on the Peak Contact Platform.

Price not set at 120,000 ounces, with the battle against the Arcane Eternal Star imminent, if able to quickly obtain a large amount of spacetime power, of course not to be missed, now is not the time for slow and steady gains.

Priced at 100,000 ounces per bottle, and left Benny's stall number on the Peak Contact Platform, those in need among Peak Contractors will naturally go to the stall at the Grand Gathering Place to purchase.

Besides this, also gave information to several major merchant guilds and the "Gilthill Family", they sent a bottle for free, as a return gift for those two extra legendary swords.

After wearing the 【Peak Master】 title, Su Xiao immersed himself in potion brewing, when the second bottle was completed, he confirmed this potion cannot be mass-produced, single catalysis exceeding one portion increases difficulty sharply, stability also drops drastically, seeing this, he began brewing one by one, feeling his own improvement in potion-making.

This book was recently updated at ##!! Update!!

Su Xiao became more skilled with each brew, after finishing all ten bottles, he opened the team channel, preparing to let Benny sell first, then continue brewing after sold out.

Result: as soon as he opened the team channel, he saw Benny's orders coming in, not only do Peak Contractors need this, several major merchant guilds, and through merchant guild channels, the void major powers aware of this potion also show demand, it is clear this "Extreme Physique Shell Potion" is popular among the powerful.

After all, since the demise of the Second Era·Alchemy Civilization, it has been too many years since seeing such permanent benefit secret medicine, plus, the top alchemist of the Second Era·Alchemy Civilization is an alchemist, unable to brew "Extreme Physique Shell Potion", this thing corresponds to the formula of ancient alchemists, or rather, not that it cannot be brewed, but brewing difficulty is higher, and the product is not ideal.

This leads to, from the First Era to the Third Era of this great epoch, "Extreme Physique Shell Potion" first appears in the world, if it corresponds to the top secret medicine of alchemists, sales would certainly not be this good.

When the预定量 reached 25 portions, Su Xiao knew he could only go strengthen Dragon-Slaying Flash in the afternoon.

Su Xiao immersed himself in potion brewing, when he finished brewing, he had brewed a total of 40 bottles of "Extreme Physique Shell Potion", estimating that before the battle against the Arcane Eternal Star begins, this will be the sales volume, those bought by the major merchant guilds will certainly resell, letting the potential customers of "Extreme Physique Shell Potion" be intercepted.

For this, Su Xiao does not mind, being able to quickly obtain a large amount of spacetime power is what he most wants to see now.

Besides this, the sales situation of 【Perfect Talisman】 is also not bad, after Benny placed this item on the stall, one can see Reincarnation-level item contractors surrounding the stall three layers inside and three outside, those who only see??? contractors, then because of this scene, are all confused.

【Perfect Talisman】 simply does not need haggling for sale, Benny also cannot haggle, its voice is almost meowed mute, yet the result is still a confused expression, better to harden one's heart, opened fair auction mode, generally in the Grand Gathering Place, this mode is not opened, reached this level, even if not acquainted, faces are familiar.

But this time, Benny really has no way, those present also have no opinions, just for 【Perfect Talisman】 the top three ranks of Reincarnation-level, hold a grand auction, it is not exaggerated at all.

After that, a crowd of powerful ones began performing smashing pots and selling iron, demand for 【Perfect Talisman】 is too high, or rather, 9% of contractors with Reincarnation-level item permits need it, this thing only needs 10 luck attribute points, this and no equipment requirement, is there a difference?

And it is full-body equipment increase of 35%, besides extremely special systems, which high-level contractor is not wearing powerful gear all over?

Not to mention the "Harmonious Resonance" effect, 【Perfect Talisman】 has already begun being renamed by contractors, called "Revival Talisman", nothing is more important than life, this thing actually ranks third, then what extent must the top two Reincarnation-level equipment be absurd to?

Finally, 【Perfect Talisman】 was sold for 7,550,000 to a Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise, that brother wore a black robe, exposed hands withered and covered in cracks.

Adding the subsequent income from 【Extreme Physique Shell (Peak)】, Su Xiao this time has ten million spacetime power in hand, he suddenly has the thought, whether to raise "Heaven's Edge Severing Shadow" ability to level 145, but considering resource maximization conversion to combat power, first raising "Heaven's Edge Severing Shadow" to 130~135 is the best choice.

This time not only sold 【Perfect Talisman】, the 【Indomitable Will (Passive,)】 scroll also successfully sold, via barter, exchanged for:

"Highest Grade Enhancement Stone (Permit Item): Can be used at the equipment enhancement machine during equipment enhancement to guarantee the current equipment enhancement level will succeed and increase by +1."

Took out 【Highest Grade Enhancement Stone】 from team storage, Su Xiao brought Bubu Wang and Bahu out, headed straight to the Equipment Enhancement Hall.

Half an hour later, in front of the Equipment Enhancement Hall, stone slabs were inscribed with various enhancement tragedies, the mood of enhancing broken equipment can be imagined, contrasted with, once a piece of equipment, especially a weapon, is enhanced to high enhancement level, it truly can let a contractor turn the tables on the spot.

Walking into the Enhancement Hall, here it is livelier than before, Su Xiao came to an enhancement machine, activated it.

【Welcome to use Enhancement Machine No. 16666.】

The enhancement machine's tray extended, Su Xiao placed Dragon-Slaying Flash on it, metal tray retracted, prompt appeared.

【Equipment check complete, Dragon-Slaying Flash (Reincarnation-level), if needing enhancement +1, needs to consume one Primal Core.】

【Check complete, this is Reincarnation-level weapon enhancement, you need to know the following enhancement regulations.】

Enhancement of Reincarnation-level equipment is not direct enhancement of the equipment core, but rather an upper limit increase on the causal level, this process is extremely fast, upon completion of causal level upper limit increase, the enhancement machine will, according to this enhancement magnitude, perform corresponding enhancement on this equipment core.

Since the enhancement process is causal level upper limit increase, you can continuously enhance multiple times, and after enhancement success, using the enhancement machine, single-time increase of multiple enhancement levels, contrasted with, this enhancement time will be slightly prolonged.

When a Reincarnation-level equipment enhancement succeeds once, you can, before this equipment core undergoes enhancement, choose continuous enhancement, continuous enhancement will incrementally increase enhancement success rate, until this incrementally increased success rate is cleared (probabilistic clearance, or clearance after two levels of continuous enhancement, or after three to five levels of continuous enhancement, cumulative enhancement success rate cleared).

Since Reincarnation-level equipment involves causal upper limit increase, once equipment enhancement fails, it will immediately be damaged! But Reincarnation-level equipment with durability above 3000 points can resist damage caused by enhancement failure, enhancement level will reset to 0, permanently deducting a certain durability upper limit.

……

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao knows the enhancement pattern of Reincarnation-level weapons, first, each enhancement consumes one "Primal Core", and, since it is first enhancing its causal upper limit, upper limit increased means this enhancement succeeded, so enhancement results are very fast, e. g., enhancement +1, result in a few seconds, but completing the subsequent core enhancement then takes a while.

As for the cumulative success rate of continuous enhancement, this thing is random, after one enhancement success, it may accumulate 1% success rate, or may accumulate 9%, all depends on luck.

Upon reaching the stage of enhancing Reincarnation-level equipment, luck has long become part of strength, because this is derived from luck attribute or fortune, if one ignores the fair probability of luck, it is rather the greatest unfairness to contractors who have invested in this aspect.

Su Xiao activated "Weapon Enhancement Permit".

"You can rely on this permit to raise "any quality" weapon to enhancement +15."

The enhancement machine began operating, he began receiving enhancement prompts.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +1 successful.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +2 successful.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +3 successful.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +4 succeeded……

……

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +13 succeeded.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +14 succeeded.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +15 succeeded.】

……

A series of prompts appeared one after another; previously, each enhancement level required a wait, but now the karmic upper limit of the reincarnation tier has increased, allowing the enhancement from +1 to +15 to be completed in a total of 60 seconds.

Hum—

The equipment enhancement machine began operating, its rumbling sound incessant, with a crackling of electricity inside; six hours later, a puff of steam spurted from the four corners at the base of the equipment enhancement machine, and a prompt appeared.

【Enhancement completed this time.】

Su Xiao did not take out the Dragon-Slaying Flash; he took out the 【Highest-Grade Enhancement Stone】, pressed it into the still-hot slot of the equipment enhancement machine, consulted the relevant prompts, confirmed this counted as an enhancement rather than the previous privilege trait upgrade, then took out the 【Fate Reversal】, used "Equipment Effect 2·Fortune Accumulation" to restore the durability of this fate-defying奇物 to full, and activated "Power of Fortune."

【Proceed with this enhancement?】

【Enhancing……】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash+16 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate has accumulated to 95%; proceed with continuous enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

……

A decision lay before him: this burst of fortune, randomly yielding a 95% success rate—should he proceed with continuous enhancement?

In the past, he would have stopped while ahead, but 【Fate Reversal】 has already proven more than once that it truly can逆转 fortune; the two reincarnation-tier top-tier equipment, 【End】 and 【Perfect Talisman】, have demonstrated this, and now the randomly appearing 95% success rate once again proves it.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash+17 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate has accumulated to 98% (increased by 3%); proceed with continuous enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash+18 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate has been reset.】

……
