Chapter 4138: Abyss/Element

The equipment reinforcement machine stopped running. Su Xiao took out the Zhan Long Shan from the iron-black tray that had extended out, and drew the long blade.

Bang!

The sound of a fist hitting the equipment reinforcement machine to his rear drew the side-eyes of the crowd. The reinforcement merchant standing before the machine spat out a string of curses; after all, failing to reinforce from +1 to +2 consecutively would make anyone's anger surge.

Su Xiao sheathed the long blade and left the equipment reinforcement hall without a word. Although weapons reinforced within the Samsara Paradise would default to concealing their edge, the Zhan Long Shan now possessed a sharpness that could cut through anything; just looking at its edge made one's eyes ache.

Introduction: Slaying gods and cutting down evil, severing thousands of enemies, extinguishing souls and seizing spirits, leveling the extreme dark abyss.

……

After being reinforced to +18, the Zhan Long Shan climbed directly to the 3rd rank among Samsara-grade weapons. Not to mention anything else, its sharpness of 34408 points was something other sharp weapons could hardly reach, and the note following it (Highest sharpness among currently known weapons) already explained a lot.

Its durability reached 9500 points, which was exactly what Su Xiao needed. Due to the durability issues of the Zhan Long Shan, he hadn't used "Perfect Parry" much during the battle against the God of the Underworld, and even then, only 200 points of durability remained at the end. Weapon durability was difficult to increase at this stage; it seemed he would need to have the Zhan Long Shan devour other high-durability weapons to push its durability past 10,000 points.

Beyond that was the Zhan Long Shan's ridiculously high attack power. What was surprising was that it hadn't surged into the top 2 of Samsara-grade weapons; it seemed the top two were even stronger than anticipated.

Fortunately, the Zhan Long Shan hadn't reached its limit. While it couldn't increase its quality further—Samsara-grade being the peak—it could continue to grow through the "Supreme Sharpness" ability to devour other blade-type weapons and further increase its reinforcement level.

Subsequent reinforcement levels could only be accumulated bit by bit, for instance, by obtaining treasures like the "Highest-Grade Reinforcement Stone." The seller of that item had been extremely reluctant to part with it, but the temptation of the "Immortal Will (Passive)" scroll was too great, and since they couldn't come up with other equivalent bargaining chips, it ended up this way.

Su Xiao didn't return to his private room to upgrade "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow." Instead, he took a teleportation array to the Great Gathering Place, passed through it to the public area notarized by the Tree of Void, and entered a small tavern.

The tavern was quiet, with only a few patrons drinking. Upon Su Xiao's entry, the owner behind the bar cast a glance his way. Seeing a stranger, he prepared to ignore him, but a second later, his eyes widened, his heart in great turmoil. However, he quickly restrained his gaze.

Was this small tavern usually this quiet? Of course not. The patrons here were actually of quite high rank. Before Su Xiao entered, they had been drinking boisterously, but upon seeing him—a face often seen in news and reports—and considering his notorious reputation, the atmosphere instantly quieted.

Before long, only Su Xiao and the owner remained in the tavern. The owner felt immense pressure and opened his mouth several times, only to stop.

Su Xiao looked at the bartender, whose enthusiastic smile was somewhat stiff.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a bottle of elemental brew. This tavern was quite unique; it didn't serve guests, nor did it provide drinks, so it seemed one had to bring their own.

Shortly after, a girl dressed in off-white sportswear with a fresh and refined temperament entered the tavern. She noticed the atmosphere was off, but upon seeing the Hunter sitting at a small table drinking alone with a bottle of fine wine, she roughly guessed what was happening.

"Sorry, bartender, put the tab for the tables that left on my account."

Her voice was delicate and clear, very pleasant to hear. Just by speaking, she made one willing to listen, a testament to her top-tier charm-based negotiation skills.

The bartender nodded without a word. Seeing this, the girl in sportswear gave a bitter smile, dimples appearing as she said, "Hello, everyone calls me Dream Cat."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao looked at the girl opposite him. Dream Cat, who had sat down, didn't feel awkward. Before coming, the Leader had told her about this man's silence, but not long after sitting down, she began to feel the pressure.

"Have we met before?"

"No."

"Then why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with my outfit today?"

The pressure on Dream Cat was immense. As a charm-based user who had negotiated with all sorts of people, this was her specialty, but just through preliminary interaction, she could sense the aura and nature of the person opposite her—it was terrifying, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

In Dream Cat's eyes, the man holding the wine bottle had a background of dark red, with wisps of darkness diffusing. Those eyes, with their red glint and pitch-black depths, were truly... extremely terrifying and full of oppressive force.

"You look very much like an old acquaintance of mine."

Su Xiao spoke.

"Oh? Was she your..."

"I slaughtered her."

Su Xiao wasn't making it up; the girl calling herself Dream Cat really did look very much like Xi from the Apocalypse Paradise, an opponent he had encountered during his first World Conquest Battle.

"Ha, haha~, what a unique fate."

Dream Cat decided to complete this transaction as quickly as possible. The pressure of being stared at by this Hunter was too terrifying. Dream Cat was even a little glad that they were in the notarized area of the Tree of Void.

Su Xiao and Dream Cat were meeting to trade the 【God Hunter】 title, an item whose appearance was basically non-replicable.

Originally, it was meant to be a three-party trade between Su Xiao, the Wandering Hunter Ross, and Dream Cat, with Su Xiao providing the title, Ross providing "Soul Energy Crystals," and Dream Cat providing items Ross needed. As it turned out, Ross managed to get enough "Soul Energy Crystals" on his own, but Dream Cat failed to provide what Ross needed.

Dream Cat compensated Ross for part of his losses, and since "Soul Energy Crystals" were only needed by Law-Breakers, Ross simply went to trade directly with Su Xiao. Both parties were extremely satisfied, leaving Dream Cat frustrated. After much hesitation, she contacted Su Xiao directly, leading to this meeting.

"Mr. Bai Ye, although I'm called the weakest Supreme Battle Angel, I think that's a prejudice."

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Dream Cat. Her sweet smile stiffened slightly. She was now certain that her charm-based invincible negotiation effect had absolutely no effect on this man.

"Mr. Bai Ye, I'm actually good friends with Mo Lei, so since we're friends of friends, we're friends too."

Hearing this, Su Xiao stared at the girl opposite him again, mentally noting this pleasant-looking face. If they met again, he could practice the redistribution of wealth with her.

"I feel like it would have been better not to try to climb the social ladder. How could that silly girl Mo Lei be reliable? I was silly too, to actually believe her nonsense."

Dream Cat sighed after speaking and took out a translucent gem flowing with golden light. She said, "This is a Miracle Gem. With Mr. Bai Ye's experience, you must know it."

As Dream Cat spoke, she displayed the attributes of the "Miracle Gem."

"Miracle Gem: Can be used on eight strongest Eternal-grade gems to allow them to complete an ascension. However, after the current owner of the gem dies, the 'Strongest Gem' that has been limit-broken will fall back to 'Eternal-grade'."

Putting down the "Miracle Gem," Dream Cat glanced at the "Soul Gem" inlaid at the end of the hilt of the blade at Su Xiao's waist.

"..."

Su Xiao picked up the "Miracle Gem," observed and toyed with it for a moment, then put it down.

"Not enough."

Su Xiao was dissatisfied with this offer because the "Miracle Gem" could be produced through the 【Peak Box】 in the Honor Shop. He didn't know the channel for the Apocalypse Paradise, but this item wasn't unique, whereas the 【God Hunter】 title was nearly one-of-a-kind.

Dream Cat looked troubled, though she was quite confident inside. Her eyes flickered, and with a smile, she said:

"Then, I'll add a secret."

"..."

"Mr. Bai Ye, we haven't worked together, but I trust the Leader's guarantee. I can disclose this secret first."

Dream Cat smiled with her dimples, and a moment later, she walked out of the small tavern holding the sealed 【God Hunter】 title. In fact, before selling this title, Su Xiao had asked Xia if she needed something like a "Chef God Soul," since he had eaten many "dine-and-dash" meals there, even if he had indeed forgotten.

Xia's answer was firm: she absolutely didn't want it. She didn't know what the power of a "God Soul" was, but she was certain that what she wanted was for her own skills to reach the peak. Moreover, she could feel that her skills had reached a certain critical point, and taking one more step would bring about a great change.

Clearly, Xia's situation was completely different from Mo Lei's. Mo Lei was a combat-type gradually transitioning into a resource-type. It wasn't that Mo Lei wasn't hardworking or lacked talent; it was just that the situations Mo Lei the little angel experienced would have killed anyone else.

She had encountered the Gray Gentleman and almost died, met the Priest and almost died again, temporarily "cooperated" with the Blood God and gained the Blood God's recognition, and almost died yet again. On top of that, she frequently encountered Su Xiao—which wouldn't kill her, but would cost her a fortune in Soul Coins every time.

One could only say that Mo Lei was a miracle, and it was no wonder she frequently topped the "Apocalypse Paradise Annual Silly Ranking."

Inside the small tavern, Su Xiao finished the fine wine in the bottle and was about to get up when he remembered he hadn't paid the bill—a habit he'd picked up from eating at Xia's—only to realize he hadn't even ordered a drink.

Half an hour later, in his private room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the Black Maple Tree, the sheathed Zhan Long Shan resting on his lap. The Soul Gem at the end of the hilt glowed with a strange luster under the Black Maple Tree.

Dream Cat's secret was indeed enough to fill the gap in this trade and was something he currently needed.

Before the Severing Soul Shadow fully awakened, his Blade Technique Master, Severing Soul Shadow, and the Soul Gem's triple soul-severing characteristics were invincible. But now that he was a Supreme Peak, it wasn't that these means weren't strong, but they had lost their former dominance.

In the current combination, the Severing Soul Shadow's soul-severing characteristic, coupled with the 220 points of soul-severing strength brought by Blade Technique Master, worked perfectly. If the Severing Soul Shadow was a "Soul Blade," then the 220 points of soul-severing strength from Blade Technique Master were the "sharpness" of that "Soul Blade."

In this way, the "Soul Gem's" situation was rather awkward; its soul-severing characteristic was completely crushed by the Severing Soul Shadow. Not to mention the "Soul Gem," even the soul-severing effect of Blade Technique Master was far inferior to the Severing Soul Shadow—the "sever and extinguish" characteristic was simply too powerful.

Now that he had a "Miracle Gem" in hand, he could use it to upgrade the "Soul Gem." But Su Xiao had another choice: "Abyssal Gem" plus "Elemental Gem."

Su Xiao wasn't planning to use both strongest gems at the same time; the curse triggered by that was no joke. This involved the secret Dream Cat had mentioned: "Abyssal Gem" and "Elemental Gem" could be synthesized.

The synthesis method involved creating a container, filling half with elemental energy and half with abyssal energy, then placing the "Abyssal Gem" into the elemental energy and the "Elemental Gem" into the abyssal energy.

In this way, the two gems would begin to attract each other and synthesize into a new gem. This gem would be powerful yet dangerous, and before recognizing its holder, it would even launch a fierce backlash.

As a charm-based user, Dream Cat knew many secrets, and this was one of the most valuable ones she knew.

Su Xiao took out the 【Eye of Omniscience】. This item still had three uses left. The Old God Ubbo-Sathla had indeed fallen, but its fall didn't lead to a weakening of the Eye Ritual's power; on the contrary, the Eye Ritual was now stronger. This was one of the eternal powers that had existed since time immemorial.

A small amount of blood energy merged into the 【Eye of Omniscience】. The orange-sized eyeball trembled, growing two thin, matchstick-like arms, followed by two equally thin legs. It stared at Su Xiao in front of it, vibrating the air to emit a dull mental fluctuation, meaning:

【Wish.】

Su Xiao weighed his options and spoke in the Abyssal language:

"Abyss, Gem."

Hearing Su Xiao speak the Abyssal language, the 【Eye of Omniscience】 was clearly stunned. Immediately, flesh began to proliferate on the eyeball, forming a fragmented Abyssal sentence:

【Abyss, Hotbed, Mother.】

Seeing this message, Su Xiao immediately thought of the 【Abyssal Gem】 being in the Dark Hotbed. The only one qualified to be called "Mother" in the Abyss was the Dark Hotbed.

Having the 【Abyssal Gem】 in her hands made things both easy and difficult. Easy because he had a connection with the Dark Hotbed; difficult because if the 【Abyssal Gem】 had special significance in the Abyss, he could forget about trading for it.

Arriving at the room where the Lord Train was parked, Su Xiao began to construct a summoning array on the ground. A moment later, the array responded, darkness rising. Upon activation, the figure of the Abyssal Daughter appeared.

"Oh~! What a remarkable place."

The Abyssal Daughter looked around, her gaze fixing on the Monument of Awakening.

"Your mother, has a gem?"

"Hmm? How did you know? That is her beloved treasure."

Hearing this, Su Xiao felt a sense of dread. It seemed that this time, he could only use the "Miracle Gem" to upgrade the "Soul Gem" and see if the Soul Gem could develop unprecedented characteristics, at the very least pushing the soul-severing strength higher.

"This is one of Mother's favorite collectibles."

Hearing the word "collectibles," Su Xiao knew there was a small chance. He asked: "If I exchange..."

"Impossible~. Mother's collectibles all have special significance. For Mother, value isn't important; significance is."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, walking toward the Lord Train. Seeing this, the Abyssal Daughter followed. The two arrived at the bedroom in the rear carriage, stopping before a display rack containing various collectibles:

Bone of the Moon: Obtained by defeating the Ancient God, Moon God. This was the first Ancient God defeated.

Crown Fragment: Obtained by defeating the Black King.

Broken Spear Blade: A fragment of the Iron Feather King's weapon.

Ship Helm Wreckage: A fragment of the Doom's helm.

Withered Gem: From the Eternal Light World, embedded in the Ancestor's forehead (still attached to a small amount of gray skin).

Beast Wang Guan: The broken crown of the old Beast King from the Wind Sea Continent.

Witch Pendant: A gift from the Moon Witch.

Dark Gold Badge: Requires achieving permanent hatred from the Golden Faction.

Remnant Sun of the Old Days: A sun fragment that fell when the "Old Days" of the Blazing Sun Star descended (the piece from the sun's core).

Transcendence Ember: A large chunk of ember produced when the Pantheon World transcended toward the Myriad Races World (shaped like a half-burning metal meteorite).

Meteorite Star World Core Fragment: The largest remaining fragment.

Dark Statue (Valueless, Rare Item): The image of the previous Abyssal Lord.

……

Su Xiao removed the Crown Fragment, Broken Spear Blade, Ship Helm Wreckage, and Witch Pendant, signaling that the Dark Hotbed could choose one, or at most three, of these in exchange for the 【Abyssal Gem】.

Seeing these collectibles, the Abyssal Daughter was quite moved. She could feel that behind every collectible, there might be a magnificent story.

Su Xiao tossed out a "Primordial Core"—he couldn't be stingy now. The Abyssal Daughter caught it and said with a smile: "Leave it to me. I'll need... five hours at most. Summon me again then."

After speaking, the Abyssal Daughter left with the collectibles, stepping back onto the teleportation array. After a brief spatial vibration, she vanished.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the carpet in the train's bedroom, taking out a total of thirty portions of "Initial Source Matter" and 300 "Primordial Cores." In the past, he would have upgraded "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow" by 10 levels at a time, but with 1150 points of Supreme Stamina, that was no longer necessary.

【Yes/No to upgrade Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow to 130? This upgrade requires 4.5 million ounces of Spacetime Power, 300 Primordial Cores, and thirty portions of "Initial Source Matter".】

With a vast amount of Spacetime Power in hand, Su Xiao chose to upgrade. All the "Primordial Cores" around him shattered, the "Initial Source Matter" broke through its containers, and combined with the massive influx of Spacetime Power, the three fused under the notarization mechanism into a unique transparent energy that surged into Su Xiao's body.

A sudden darkness descended, and Su Xiao felt himself falling, experiencing a blurry sensation of drowning followed by faint sounds.

Su Xiao sat up in the water, and the sounds by his ears began to clear.

"We, in the end, are going to be defeated."

A man holding a black long blade, lean but upright, stood there as if he could not be shaken by anything. His graying hair was blown by the gale. The earth was withered and pale; everything in sight was like that, as if everything was withering in the intense eternal light.

On the entire battlefield, only the old man with the black blade remained alive. He was also the most powerful. In front of him, the Elemental Spirit King descended, holding a weapon made of elemental power that resembled both a sword and a long staff, with transparent, strip-like wings slowly drifting behind him.

The Elemental Spirit King's weapon pointed at the old man's brow. The entire Star Realm was withering and pale under the scorching elemental power. The eternal daylight extinguished all life, and even the surrounding Abyss was being converted into more elemental power due to the imbalance of elemental forces.

Yes, under extreme elemental power, the Abyss would be assimilated and transformed into elemental power, just as a strong Abyss would swallow elemental power.

The Abyss that people feared was assimilated to distant lands, where the giant abyssal drifts existed, far away from this blinding elemental power.

Golden light emerged in the center of the old man's pupils. He became more powerful, his gray hair flying, his presence imposing.

At this moment, above.

A figure sat on a high throne above, leaning on the armrest with one hand supporting his cheek, looking down at all this. He did not intervene because he hadn't been as strong as he was now, but for the sake of those who trusted and supported him, he had defeated the Elemental Spirit King of that time. But that was meaningless; once elemental or abyssal forces completed large-scale erosion, it was too late. One could only wait for the elemental/abyssal forces to subside, rebalance, and welcome the next Great Era—unless one could stop it when the elemental/abyssal forces first began to spread.

The spread of the Abyss might still be manageable, but elemental power transformed too quickly once it went out of control.

To put it more directly, the Abyss eroded inward, first swallowing the elemental barrier, then invading the Star Realm. The elemental forces assimilated outward, turning vast abyssal regions into elemental regions, then scorching the Star Realm shrouded within until it was pale and withered.

Boom!

The old man with the black blade charged out, his black blade slashing against the elemental weapon...

Su Xiao opened his eyes abruptly, his breathing quickening. Calming his breath, he was certain that what he had just seen was the end of the Ancient Era.

Checking the time, more than four hours had passed. He examined the "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow" ability that had completed its upgrade.

【Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow, 130 (Extreme Technique, Passive)】

Basic Effect: Overall strength of all technique abilities increased by 750% (increased by 283%).

Skill Effect: Extreme Blade (Exclusive Passive): This characteristic serves as the "foundation of moves" for current technique abilities. All technique moves used with the long blade in hand will have their overall power fixed based on this ability...

Current Extreme Blade, Foundation Strength: 430 points.

Extreme Effect 1: Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow (Extreme, Exclusive Passive): Your blade technique abilities will no longer be confined to past moves. You can unleash blade moves highly compatible with the current battle and environment based on different worlds, environments, and enemies, and even temporarily call upon the power of the current environment to further increase the power of your blade moves.

Extreme Effect 2: Realm of No-Self (Extreme, Exclusive Passive): Enter the "Realm of No-Self," briefly forgetting all past blade moves and retaining only the current blade move being used, pushing it to the limit.

Current Realm of No-Self Limit: 6x move power.

Note: This characteristic was originally supposed to increase from "7x move power" to "7x move power," but due to two extra upgrades when Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow reached 100 and 120, the "Realm of No-Self" was increased from 7x to the current "6x move power."

……

Su Xiao had previously worried about developing an overly bloated system for "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow"; if it had developed two more characteristics, it wouldn't have been a good thing. As for the upgrade to the "Realm of No-Self," the gold content of this blade move that had successfully slashed the Meteorite Star was beyond doubt.

Leaving the Lord Train, Su Xiao activated the summoning array he had just set up. A moment later, there was a response.

Dong~

Spatial vibration. The Abyssal Daughter appeared, staggered a few steps, and sat on the ground. The look she gave Su Xiao was now filled with resentment.

"Can't you use other spatial arrays?"

"I don't know how."

This simple understanding left the Abyssal Daughter speechless. She took out the various collectibles she had taken, and finally produced a pitch-black gem the size of a lychee. Unexpectedly, what she had exchanged for this 【Abyssal Gem】 was:

"Dark Statue (Valueless, Rare Item): The image of the previous Abyssal Lord."

"Commission complete, I'm leaving."

The Abyssal Daughter left. Su Xiao had Baham return the various collectibles to their places, and he took out the 【Eye of Omniscience】 again.

A moment later, he put away the 【Eye of Omniscience】, which now had only one use left. The answer given by the 【Eye of Omniscience】 was a symbol:

ψ

This was the symbol representing the Tree of Void. However, before using the 【Eye of Omniscience】, Su Xiao had already tried using the 【Tree of Void Treasury Application Permission III (70% off)】, and neither the "Abyssal Gem" nor the "Elemental Gem" were in the Tree of Void treasury.

Su Xiao pondered for a while and tried to submit an application to the Tree of Void to purchase an "Elemental Gem." The answer he received was:

【Your Tree of Void reputation is too low, and this item cannot be obtained through trading.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao understood what was going on. He took out his communicator and contacted Mo Lei. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Mo Lei answered, sounding like she had just woken up.

"Do me a favor."

"Sure~"

Mo Lei looked like she was about to fall asleep again at any moment.

"Try submitting an application to the Tree of Void to exchange a Soul Gem for an Elemental Gem."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lei was no longer sleepy and even sat up, fearing that this Law-Breaker was about to perform some strange operation again.

After a guarantee that the Law-Breaker's reputation was invalid and a personal guarantee was provided, Mo Lei believed him somewhat. Before leaving the private room, Su Xiao paid 150,000 Soul Coins to non-destructively strip the "Soul Gem" from the Zhan Long Shan.

Arriving first at the Great Gathering Place, then at the fully open area notarized by the Tree of Void, Su Xiao saw Mo Lei at a cold drink shop.

With Mo Lei's Tree of Void reputation, the application was naturally successful. She bit on her straw, her gaze shifting evasively:

"It requires an exchange fee of 50,100 ounces of Spacetime Power."

"..."

Su Xiao directly traded 51,000 ounces of Spacetime Power to her. Mo Lei was stunned, wanting to say something but stopping. In the end, she said dejectedly: "Sorry, I wanted to skim 100 ounces as a hardship fee."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, but Mo Lei suddenly felt that silence was more eloquent than words. It was as if this Hunter was saying, "It's fine, next time I see you, I'll take it back. The Spacetime Power is just temporarily stored with you, don't feel guilty."

The more Mo Lei thought about it, the angrier she got. Finally, she angrily exchanged the "Elemental Gem" and handed it to Su Xiao.

Five hours later, in Su Xiao's private room, inside the alchemy laboratory, the container holding both abyssal and elemental energy was complete. Half abyssal power, half elemental power—the two were distinct, yet felt as if they were "assimilating/swallowing" each other.

Su Xiao placed the "Abyssal Gem" into the elemental energy and the "Elemental Gem" into the abyssal energy. The next moment, a vast amount of energy surged toward him. The two gems clicked together, and the fusion began.

Morei became angrier the more she thought about it. In the end, she angrily exchanged the "Elemental Gem" and handed it to Su Xiao.

Five hours later, in Su Xiao's exclusive room, inside the alchemy laboratory, the container for holding both Abyss and Elemental energy had been manufactured. Half Abyss power, half Elemental power, the two were distinct, yet had a feeling of "assimilating/swallowing" each other.

Su Xiao placed the "Abyss Gem" into the Elemental power and placed the "Elemental Gem" into the Abyss energy. The next moment, a massive amount of energy rushed toward him. The two gems clicked together, and the fusion began.
