Chapter 4165: Rest Application

Su Xiao took the "Origin Clan Emblem: Lu-En" from the team storage space and pieced the previously obtained piece onto it. It was actually complete. It seemed that in this Abyss campaign, the Lu-En clan leader had long considered using a nearly complete "Origin Clan Emblem" as a medium to gather the power of other clan leaders to awaken the Abyss Incarnation.

Compared to the Fish Clan leader and the Aggregate leader, the Lu-En clan leader was very loyal to the contemporary Abyss Lord.

Su Xiao observed the Lu-En family's "Origin Clan Emblem" for a while and didn't find anything special, just that it was much larger than the Dukain family's "Origin Clan Emblem," and the sense of power was several tiers stronger. Seeing this, he checked the attributes of 【Dawn Ring】.

【Dawn Ring】

Origin: Dawn Paradise.

Quality: Dawn-level, Third-Tier.

Hint: Because it was severely damaged, some characteristics have been lost after repair, and the ranking has decreased.

Category: Ring.

Durability: 280/280 points (due to having been severely damaged, the durability has been significantly reduced).

Equipment requirement: None.

Equipment effect 1: Ring Anchor (Passive), you can use this effect to select the equipment currently worn, for a total of five pieces of equipment.

Equipment effect 2: Flawless Ring (Core, Passive), according to the strength of the five selected pieces of equipment (anchor score), determine the bonus effect brought by this equipment. You can choose one of the following three characteristics for this equipment. Once this choice is completed, you will not be able to change it in any way, even if you lose this equipment and regain it, you will still not be able to change it.

1. Power.

2. Theft.

3. Awakening.

Score: 30000+ (Dawn-level weapon score is 15000-30000 points).

Introduction: Coordination is power, power nourishes miracles, miracles condense into sweet fruits.

Price: This equipment has no price notarization. Although it needs causal adaptation before use, it can be traded freely.

The first optional characteristic of 【Dawn Ring】 is easy to understand, which is to improve one's own combat power. According to the total strength of the five pieces of equipment selected, the improvement range is determined.

What is truly interesting is the two characteristics of "Theft" and "Awakening." The Theft characteristic is that one can target any living being, permanently steal 50% of their luck, and successfully enrage the target. If the target is killed after this, their remaining luck is stolen.

Su Xiao had no interest in this. His luck was already -20 million points. Not to mention what the quantity that could be improved after stealing would be, he was afraid that the improvement would be based on his own luck. In that case, improving by 100,000 points would make his luck -20.1 million. Therefore, he turned his gaze to "Awakening."

The "Awakening" characteristic is more wonderful. It is based on the current action, and can awaken a manifestation in this category, maintaining its existence by consuming time-space power. This manifestation cannot communicate and can only accept certain information. It belongs to a special existence that will not perform other meaningless behaviors except for retaining the most proficient ability. This is the "Master Manifestation."

To make a simple analogy, if the wearer of 【Dawn Ring】 is about to perform gem identification, then the "Master Manifestation" formed at this time must be the absolute strongest in this skill category. What level of "Master Manifestation" can be awakened depends on the five pieces of equipment selected by "Ring Anchor" and how much anchor score they can bring.

But there is one point, which is that the "Master Manifestation" does not have combat ability, and even auxiliary combat is not feasible. Su Xiao didn't care about this, and he didn't need a piece of equipment to provide this kind of combat bonus.

After weighing, Su Xiao suddenly had a particularly bold idea. After all, this was one of the strongest pieces of equipment in the Dawn Paradise. Using it conventionally would definitely make its strength not live up to its name. Not to mention ranking in the top three in a paradise faction, it might not even rank in the top thirty.

Su Xiao immediately chose the "Awakening" characteristic, and hints appeared one after another.

【You need to anchor five pieces of equipment currently worn for "Dawn Ring" as the source of power for this equipment. For equipment anchored by "Dawn Ring," besides providing "Anchor Score," its original bonus characteristics will not be affected in any way.】

Su Xiao opened the equipment list. His current equipment situation was:

Checking Zhan Long Shan +18 (Reincarnation-level, Second-Tier) - Main Weapon.

Origin Stone: World (Strongest Origin Stone) - Origin Stone.

Demon Sealing (Overlord-level, 128th position, growing) - Scabbard.

World-Ending Blade (Overlord-level, Eighth position) - Pendant.

Soul: Coronation of the King (Reincarnation-level) - Armguard.

Night of Wild Hunting (severely damaged state) - Main Armor.

Prideful Wild Song (World-level, 25th position) - Ring.

Dawn Ring (Dawn-level, Third-Tier) - Ring (Imprint permission: double fingers).

Iron-Blood Dark Wolf (Overlord-level, Fourth position) - Boots.

Fate Reversal (Reincarnation-level) - Fate Curiosity.

Blade of Full Moon (Overlord-level, 98th position) - Secondary equipment.

Bestowal Oath - Vow Object.

Su Xiao first selected "Origin Stone: World" and "Checking Zhan Long Shan" as anchors. As soon as he made this choice, the "Dawn Ring" on his hand lit up with a faint light. Then he used "Iron-Blood Dark Wolf," "Fate Reversal," and "Soul: Coronation of the King" as anchors.

The "Dawn Ring" in his hand hummed, and it actually looked like it might shatter again. After all, it was a newly repaired piece of equipment. Even if its strength was high, the ability strength of the equipment was not equal to its sturdiness.

A moment later, "Dawn Ring" recovered as before. In any case, it was a Dawn-level Third-Tier piece of equipment. Not to mention that the Dawn Paradise hadn't recovered for long, the gold content of the Third-Tier was not low at all.

【Dawn Ring】

Equipment requirement: None.

Equipment effect 1: Ring Anchor (Passive), current anchor score is 1,587,920 points.

Equipment effect 2: Flawless Ring (Core, Active), according to the user's current action, summon the "Master Manifestation" corresponding to the current action. According to the bonus of the anchor score, this "Master Manifestation" must be the absolute strongest in this field.

Hint: "Master Manifestation" does not have any direct combat or auxiliary combat, or even indirect participation in combat ability.

Hint: The cooldown time of Flawless Ring will be measured according to the "action causality" performed last time.

Seeing the attributes of this equipment, Su Xiao suddenly had a very strange idea. He sat down on a metal bench beside the towering Zerg Nest. Before long, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei arrived. It could be seen that the three were a bit disheveled, clearly having participated in the defense. Although Mo Lei was a bit silly, she was not timid or cowardly. In the past, she was also a combat type.

【You have submitted the bounty "Clan Leader Calamity."】

【Due to the multi-fold bounty + bounty correction of "Hunter List: Blood Pact," you will receive a bounty totaling 8 million ounces of time-space power.】

【Before completing this bounty, you applied to the Reincarnation Paradise for relevant permissions in advance, at the cost of losing random gains, to obtain full "Time-Space Stone Fragment" gains.】

【Detected that this bounty has a huge connection with this Abyss campaign and has sufficient influence on the victory of their side, this permission application has been approved.】

【You obtain Time-Space Stone Fragment x 800,000 (this is an equivalent, which can be sold to the Reincarnation Paradise at any time to obtain 8 million ounces of time-space power).】

【Because this hunter bounty was completed on the Wind Sea Continent, this bounty will be paid by the Apocalypse Paradise.】

After Su Xiao submitted the bounty mission, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei also received similar hints. It's just that the amount of gains they received was only 45%, which was 3.6 million ounces each, totaling 10.8 million ounces.

Su Xiao took 90%, which was 9.72 million ounces. He kept 7.56 million ounces for himself, sent 2.16 million ounces to Caesar, and the Apocalypse sisters each received 360,000 ounces.

After receiving this huge sum of money, the Apocalypse sisters couldn't recover for a while. Mo Lei and Hao Mei pinched Moon Apostle's cheeks on both sides at the same time. As the saying goes, a rabbit will bite when it's anxious. After Moon Apostle got angry, she was fiercely angry for a while.

It can be said that when there is danger, the two bad friends are her reliance, and they won't let her die first before they die. But when there is no danger, all dangers come from these two guys.

Just at this time, the Apocalypse sisters suddenly received a hint.

【Hint (Tree of Void): Your strongest reinforcement team has applied for a rest time limit for you. You can return to your affiliated paradise (Apocalypse Paradise) to rest for 24 hours.】

【Judging the contribution degree of the Dawn Team in the Wind Sea battle zone...】

【Judgment passed, both the Tree of Void and the Apocalypse Paradise have approved this rest application.】

Seeing this hint, the Apocalypse sisters were incredibly excited. After the Abyss campaign started, the highest permission for time-space power was opened to all paradise factions. No matter what tier of Qiyuezhe, they could directly exchange for free attribute points/real free attribute points in the merit store of their respective paradise factions, or use permission for skill upgrade warehouses, as well as various permission resources to improve themselves.

Being able to go back now meant a qualitative improvement in strength, and the probability of surviving later would soar significantly.

At this time, even the most mischievous Mo Lei said very seriously: "Thank, thank you, White Night."

"No need."

Su Xiao spoke in a normal tone, which made Mo Lei relax her vigilance. She smiled and scratched her head energetically and said: "If you need my help with anything in the future, just say it."

"Oh? Really?"

Su Xiao showed a bit of brilliance in his eyes, which made Mo Lei, whose heart was filled with excitement/emotion/nothing to repay just a second ago, almost subconsciously bring a crying tone.

"Re, really."

Mo Lei's brain was full of: "It's over. Although I don't know what I'm going to encounter next, it must be very amazing. And lying down to win so many benefits this time, I definitely can't be cowardly, otherwise I'll be ungrateful, and then I'll look down on myself."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just activated the teleportation permission to return to the Reincarnation Paradise. He now had 16.504 million ounces of time-space power in hand, so of course he had to go back to improve. Besides that, there were the killing gains from that battle in the Eternal Light world. The killing gains this time were very unique.

【You have killed Azguk family leader Er-Mu Kensa.】

【You obtain Abyss Treasure (★★★★★★)...

【Hint: This is a notarized derivative killing gain of the Abyss campaign. Under normal circumstances, Abyss Treasure is ★~★★★★★.】

This was not difficult to understand. The star limit of the Abyss Treasure was temporarily raised. In other words, the six-star "Abyss Treasure" could only be obtained during the Abyss campaign.

With five 【Abyss Treasure (★★★★★★)】 in hand, Su Xiao frowned slightly, especially the one representing Fish Clan leader Er-Mu Kensa. The Fish Clan had a great relationship with the "Deep Sea Ancient Urn." The one who held the "Deep Sea Ancient Urn" before was the Fish Clan.

Last time he killed Spider Lady, Su Xiao temporarily held the "Deep Sea Ancient Urn." At first, the "Deep Sea Ancient Urn" still intended to swallow Su Xiao's causal destiny, but after the initial confrontation between the two sides, they decided to act as if they hadn't seen each other. However, Su Xiao could roughly guess where the "Deep Sea Ancient Urn" went.

Just as Su Xiao was weighing, crack, crack sounds entered Su Xiao's ears. He told Amu to go to the side and eat, so as not to interrupt his thinking. Amu went to the side happily.

But if he didn't open the Fish Clan leader's Abyss Treasure, not to mention that this was a six-star "Abyss Treasure" that could only be obtained during the "campaign," the subsequent super-limits obtained always had concerns when opening. Then it would be better to have a ruthless one. He now not only had the "Original Sin Book," but his own luck was huge, and he was an Extreme Realm-type with a powerful physique...

Crack, crack~

Amu's crisp sound, like eating a wafer biscuit, came again. Su Xiao began to weigh. With his current physique—no, returning to rest this time would definitely exceed 50 points, maybe even break through 60 points. Thinking about it this way, even if he sealed the ninth original sin object, he could still withstand it. Don't forget, the "Original Sin Book" had just received a huge improvement, absorbing a heart of the "Ancient One."

Hmm, this matter is feasible, then...

Crack, crack~

Su Xiao turned his head to look at Amu, and saw Amu, who had his mouth stuffed full, gnawing on the Lu-En family's

Su Xiao didn't stop him; this was meant for Amu to eat in the first place. He had only brought this thing back from the Eternal Light world after learning that Amu could consume the "Origin Clan Emblem," otherwise he would have destroyed it long ago.

In addition to the gains from the five clan leaders, there were also the kill rewards for slaying the Abyss Incarnation, which were:

【You have killed the Abyss Incarnation.】

【You have obtained the Abyss Treasure Chest (★★★★★★★★★).】

Su Xiao had never imagined he could obtain a nine-star "Abyss Treasure Chest"; the absurdity of this thing was comparable to...

Crunch, crunch~

Plus, he had to open the clan leader treasure chests first before opening this thing; if he were to open a "Big Daddy" level Original Sin Object from this nine-star Abyss Treasure Chest, that would be a massive loss.

Thinking of this, crunch, crunch~

Su Xiao applied for transfer authorization.

Behind him, crunch~, crunch~

Baha, who was left behind, immediately looked up and didn't laugh out loud, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also looked up.

Amidst the crunching and munching sounds, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room in the Reincarnation Paradise.

Just after returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao looked at Amu. Amu, who had just opened his mouth to take a bite, shrank his head back and ran to the planting area himself. Before long, the crisp crunching sounds of chewing came from there. A moment later, Amu in the planting area seemed to want to come back.

"Eat it yourself."

"Moo!"

Amu was somewhat foolishly happy. Although this silly cow was a glutton, he would definitely come to share good things with Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beni. Being able to eat didn't mean Amu was greedy or protective of his food. Of course, if a stranger dared to come and snatch Amu's food, that would be a Dark Battle Axe hacking down on their head.

Su Xiao came to the room where the "Stele of Awakening" was placed, sat cross-legged in front of it, and took out the 345 "Soul Energy Crystals" he had accumulated this time. Opening his skill list, he first upgraded the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability. Whether the Magic Spirit was powerful or not determined the execution power of the Magic Blade. In the subsequent battle against the Abyss Lord, the "Magic Blade Execution," which could execute strong enemies with less than one-quarter of their life cores remaining, was absolutely the top priority.

"Magic Spirit Awakening" required 3 "Soul Energy Crystals" for one upgrade. Su Xiao first tried upgrading it by 1 level, which caused the Magic Spirit within Checking Zhan Long Shan to emerge.

A moment later, the Magic Spirit beside him seemed to have become a bit stronger. Su Xiao checked the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability.

【Magic Spirit Awakening, Lv. EX.】

Skill Effect 1: Blade Magic Spirit strength +5000 points.

Skill Effect 2: Replacement (Passive)...

Skill Effect 3: Causality Tear (Passive)...

One level increased the Magic Spirit strength by 500 points. Given Su Xiao's current 9900 points of soul strength, he could suppress a Magic Spirit strength below 49000 points; to be safer, anything below 45000 points could definitely be firmly suppressed.

Su Xiao didn't directly upgrade the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability, but instead upgraded the following abilities first:

1. Upgrade Blue Shadow King by 5 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 50 "Soul Energy Crystals."

2. Upgrade Supreme Blade by 3 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 6 "Soul Energy Crystals."

3. Upgrade Adaptation Power by 4 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 8 "Soul Energy Crystals."

4. Upgrade Combat Prosthetic by 6 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 12 "Soul Energy Crystals."

5. Upgrade Devour Core by 8 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 24 "Soul Energy Crystals."

Not a single mistake in the content, check it one by one!

6. Upgrade Magic-Immune Constitution by 1 level to reach its limit, consuming a total of 2 "Soul Energy Crystals."

7. Simultaneously upgrade Magic Spirit Awakening and Magic-Devouring Constitution by 1 level each; the two abilities merged after the upgrade, consuming a total of 10 "Soul Energy Crystals."

8. Upgrade Soul-Severing Shadow by 3 levels to reach its limit, consuming a total of 24 "Soul Energy Crystals."

With Su Xiao's current physique, upgrading the Law-Extinguishing abilities he had already mastered certainly wouldn't send him into a dream, and he wouldn't upgrade them all at once. He began to upgrade the abilities one by one according to the aforementioned upgrade plan. The first to complete the upgrade was "Blue Shadow King."

【Blue Shadow King: Lv. EX (Ultimate-level Skill)】

Skill Effect (State 1: Magic Shadow - Active): No changes.

Skill Effect (State 2: Extinction Shadow - Active): Immediately consume 3000 points of "Blue Shadow King Energy." The next attack will deal "True Damage" to the enemy equal to 180% of their lost body energy.

As long as Su Xiao's physique was strong enough, once the enemy's body energy was burned away by the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, they would have to face a Law-Extinguisher who used "Extinction Shadow" with every slash.

The upgrades to "Supreme Blade," "Devour Core," and "Magic-Immune Constitution" were all significant enhancements of their original characteristics, with no new characteristics added. However, the bonus of "Adaptation Power" to "True Full Resistance" increased from 10% to 25%. Among the series of abilities, the upgrade to "Combat Prosthetic" was somewhat unique.

【Combat Prosthetic, Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect 1: Increase Pride Song state strength by 2060% (increased by 1100%), crystal composition and adhesion speed increased by 223% (increased by 125%), crystal stability has reached the maximum value.

Skill Effect 2: If upper or lower limbs are missing (both arms and both legs), combat prosthetics can be quickly constructed through Pride Song crystals to replace the function of the missing limbs. The combat prosthetics can stably exist for 568,000 natural days.

Combat Prosthetic Strength: 100% restoration (Ultimate).

Combat Prosthetic Speed: 100% restoration (Ultimate).

Combat Prosthetic Tactile Sense: 99.99% restoration (Ultimate).

Combat Prosthetic Nervous System: 99.99% restoration (Ultimate).

As for the two abilities "Magic Spirit Awakening" and "Magic-Devouring Constitution," Su Xiao no longer had use for them. To describe these two abilities in the simplest way:

"Magic Spirit Awakening: Completely release the Magic Spirit. Within the following 30 seconds, it can execute Abyss-derived creatures with the 'Undying' characteristic that have one-third of their health remaining."

"Magic-Devouring Constitution: Snatch 50% of the Magic Spirit energy absorbed by the Magic Spirit this time to increase 'Base Health' and 'Abyss Resistance'."

Currently, these two abilities had merged into an ability called "Shadow Endowment."

【Shadow Endowment, Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect: By consuming this ability, you can transform one of the abilities you have currently mastered into a "Law-Extinguishing Shadow System" ability.

Hint: This transformation has a 50% success rate.

Seeing this passive, Su Xiao immediately had a choice: "Perfect Block." He estimated that if this ability were transformed into the "Law-Extinguishing Shadow System," the success rate should be over 80%, rather than the maximum of only 50% like other abilities.

"Perfect Block" was originally an ability of the Silver Moon Wolf system, but it had been upgraded by Su Xiao to an unprecedented level. If it were successfully transformed into the Law-Extinguishing system now, it would mean this ability could be upgraded using "Soul Energy Crystals."

The upgrade began quietly. Su Xiao felt the technique-protecting energy throughout his body become scorching hot. When everything calmed down, the "Perfect Block" ability appeared in the skill list of his Law-Extinguishing system.

In this way, only "Soul-Severing Shadow" remained to be upgraded. Consuming 24 "Soul Energy Crystals" to upgrade "Soul-Severing Shadow," this upgrade made Su Xiao feel very unique and smooth. Moreover, this feeling didn't seem like the completion of the "Soul-Severing Shadow" upgrade, but rather something more rooted in his own power, a more peculiar... ability awakening?

【Extreme Shadow: Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect: Based on your main attribute strength, it increases the level cap of your core abilities, and more importantly, breaks through the "Absolute Limit."

Hint: This is the only ability in the current Astral Realm that can break through the "Skill Level Cap - Absolute Limit."

Hint: Because "Extreme Shadow" has a limit strength increment characteristic, when your Supreme attribute is higher than 50 points, subsequent Supreme main attribute increases will perform an extreme-level increase to your "Core Ability Level Cap," far exceeding the current increase ratio (the "Core Ability Level Cap" brought by the 50-60 point range of the Supreme attribute alone can exceed the increase brought by the 1-50 point range of the Supreme attribute).

The currently upgraded core ability is: Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow.

Number of times the absolute limit has been broken: Once (the absolute limit that appeared when the Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow cap was at level 200).

Current upgraded cap level: 30 levels (Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow cap level successfully reached Lv. 205, having broken the absolute limit once).

Hint: The higher the cap level of Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow, the higher the difficulty of subsequent upgrades. Moreover, reaching the cap level of Lv. 200 is an extremely difficult level cap to break through, and currently, it can only be broken through via the "Extreme Shadow" ability (already successfully broken). If you choose to use other abilities or Astral Realm curios with this characteristic to upgrade, the level cap of your "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow" will inevitably stagnate when it reaches Lv. 200, thereby wasting subsequent upgrade power.

Hint: The creator of this ability is Law-Extinguishing Shadow - Su Xiao.

Sure enough, the "Soul-Severing Shadow" ability had changed. This involved the current "Soul Destruction" effect of "Soul-Severing Shadow." This effect was whether the soul part Su Xiao slashed was immediately destroyed, or if it was soul destruction at the causal level.

But when fighting the Abyss Incarnation before, Su Xiao had slashed off the opponent's head, and the Abyss Incarnation immediately regenerated its head. Did Soul-Severing Shadow suddenly fail? Actually, that wasn't the case. For a powerful Abyss existence like the Abyss Incarnation, its own "Soul Volume" was very vast. Being slashed off and having a part destroyed, while it was wary of this, wasn't enough to make it unable to continue fighting after suffering it.

Furthermore, Su Xiao had always followed the development direction that a normal slash was an ultimate move, allowing him to first be able to slash souls, then using this as an advancement, until now he could slash causality with his blade. The effect of "Soul-Severing Shadow - Soul Destruction" was actually to perform causal destruction on the slashed part of the "Soul."

Su Xiao's current sword technique slashes already carried causal destruction with every strike. Of course, he didn't need to lower his dimension himself, first performing the slashing of the "Soul," and then performing causal destruction on that part. The reason it was like this was because his current system had already reached beyond the limit that the "Soul-Severing Shadow" ability could reach. To climb to the highest peak, one must, of course, constantly progress and surpass one's predecessors.

The "Extreme Shadow" that Su Xiao now mastered was the path he had carved out. This also meant that he could engrave it on the Stele of Awakening. If future Law-Extinguishers wanted to walk this path, they could choose one from the four: Soul-Severing Shadow, Sky-Breaking Shadow, Magic-Devouring Shadow, and Extreme Shadow.

Soul-Severing Shadow could reach the slashing, changing, and destruction of the "Soul," etc.

Sky-Breaking Shadow had the strongest speed and was the representative of sharpness and extreme speed.

Magic-Devouring Shadow devoured Magic Spirits, turning all means of upgrading Magic Spirits into upgrading oneself, and it was extremely difficult to kill them completely.

Extreme Shadow was mid-to-upper strength in the early and middle stages, and by the super late stage, relying on a powerful physique and technique ability, it reached the level where the sharp blade in hand could slash and destroy causality.

Why were the Abyss descendants so wary of Su Xiao? It was because being slashed by the sharp blade in Su Xiao's hand meant they were truly dead. It didn't require that kind of ability that restrained Abyss descendants or was temporarily activated; every slash of this Law-Extinguisher was fatal.

Ultimately, the "Origin Clan Emblem" ensured that Abyss descendants didn't die through causal anchoring. The extreme slash that shattered everything belonged to absolute power breaking through all fancy abilities.

Now with the existence of the "Extreme Shadow" ability, it meant that Su Xiao could constantly increase the cap of his "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow" ability by increasing his Supreme main attribute, thereby allowing his technique ability to reach a higher level, and thus more significantly transform his powerful physique into combat power.

To make an intuitive conversion analogy, if the base combat power of all Supreme attributes was 1 million, then with the combat power amplification of the current Lv. 150 Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow ability, the final combat power would reach an extremely absurd height.

Now with "Extreme Shadow," it meant that Su Xiao's snowballing upgrade method in the super late stage had achieved a wonderful, perfect cycle: all Supreme main attributes increased, bringing an increase in the technique ability cap; after the technique ability level increased, it brought stronger comprehensive combat power; an increase in comprehensive combat power meant that more resources (Space-Time Power) could be obtained in subsequent actions, thereby allowing more Supreme attributes to be upgraded, and then constantly snowballing in a virtuous cycle.

The upgrade range of various Law-Extinguishing abilities was not small. In this way, there were only four Law-Extinguishing system abilities left for Su Xiao to upgrade using "Soul Energy Crystals," which were:

1. Time Dominator (each upgrade requires 5 "Soul Energy Crystals").

Hint: After this ability completes a certain degree of ultra-limit upgrade, it will serve as a buff-type bonus, sacrificing itself to upgrade the "Extreme Realm - Astral Realm" ability you have currently mastered.

2. Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying (each upgrade requires 3 "Soul Energy Crystals").

3. Magic Spirit Awakening (each upgrade requires 3 "Soul Energy Crystals").

4. Perfect Block (each upgrade requires 3 "Soul Energy Crystals").

Three of these four Law-Extinguishing system abilities could be called "Soul Energy Crystal" bottomless pits; it was unknown how many "Soul Energy Crystals" would need to be invested later.

Su Xiao still had 203 "Soul Energy Crystals" left. This time, the Wind Sea battlefield would definitely be near the Zerg Nest to prevent Jila from being ambushed by "Ancient Abyss Existences." Therefore, the subsequent acquisition of "Soul Energy Crystals" would definitely have to be through the Magic Spirit killing enemies on the battlefield. He chose to invest all the remaining "Soul Energy Crystals" into "Magic Spirit Awakening." This was not only an upgrade but also an investment.

When the upgrade was completed, the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability had reached:

【Magic Spirit Awakening, Lv. EX.】

Soul energy nourishment times: 68 times.

Skill Effect 1: Blade Magic Spirit strength +38500 points.

Skill Effect 2: Replacement (Passive)...

Skill Effect 3: Power Endowment (Passive), you can select one of your current abilities to endow the Magic Spirit to a certain degree, with an endowment ratio of 45% to 80% (the lower limit to upper limit is determined by the different strengths of the endowed ability).

Wisps of black-blue smoke diffused from Checking Zhan Long Shan. A moment later, a human figure composed of black-blue smoke appeared. Her figure was tall, her long hair moved without wind, and those deep blue eyes seemed somewhat confused. Even though her features couldn't be seen clearly due to the wisps of black-blue smoke drifting, judging from the facial contours, she definitely possessed a peerless beauty. This was normal; it was the image simulated by the Magic Spirit when it had nearly devoured the Tide Hunter back then.

Su Xiao set the power endowment characteristic of "Magic Spirit Awakening" to the "Heavenly Blade Severing Shadow" ability. The next second, the Magic Spirit, who had still been somewhat confused, had a clear change in temperament. In the center of those beautiful deep blue eyes, there were a few traces of blood color. One look and it was clear that the Magic Spirit had become much more capable of fighting.

Glancing at the rest time, Su Xiao didn't go to upgrade himself directly. The 24-hour rest time he had applied for for Morey and the others was almost over. He chose to submit an application to the Void Tree.

【Hint (Void Tree): You have applied to go to the Apocalypse Paradise for subsequent rest.】

【Due to your long-term behavior, this application of yours has been rejected by the Apocalypse Paradise.】

【Judging (Void Tree / Reincarnation Paradise).】

【Detected that the battlefield currently guarded by the Hunter is: Wind Sea Continent.】

【And you have made a crucial contribution to the Wind Sea Continent battlefield, even potentially becoming the core factor in deciding the outcome of the battle.】

【Current Wind Sea Continent garrison faction: Apocalypse Paradise.】

【Based on the above factors, the Void Tree and Reincarnation Paradise have reached a final judgment: your application to go to the Apocalypse Paradise for rest meets the dual rationality of notarization and contribution levels. Moreover, based on the notarization tier of this Abyss campaign, the Apocalypse Paradise cannot refuse this rest request.】

【You will be teleported to the Apocalypse Paradise in 3 seconds.】

When the teleportation ended, Su Xiao was already standing in the sparsely populated trading plaza of the Apocalypse Paradise. Not all contractors participated in the war; more people were waiting within the Paradise faction to be conscripted to the Wind Sea battlefield.

Su Xiao took out his communicator and contacted Morey. After a while, Morey's sleepy voice came through: "What's wrong, Bai Ye?"

"Help me with directions."

"Huh? Where are you that you need me to give you directions? I'm a bit directionally challenged; you even beat me up because of this."

"Apocalypse Paradise."

"Hmm? Bang! Oh~, it hurts! Moon Rabbit, Hao Mei, you two hurry up and open the door! Bai Ye has come to the Apocalypse Paradise! Yes, you're not dreaming, hurry up and get out of bed!!"

More than ten minutes later, the three Apocalypse sisters arrived at the trading plaza. The three of them were very apprehensive. When they got close, Morey swallowed her saliva. She really couldn't imagine how this person had entered the Apocalypse Paradise.

"Bai Ye, where are you going?"

"I heard that the equipment reinforcement in the Apocalypse Paradise is among the best of the several Paradises."

"I suppose... it is."

"Take me there."

"Phew~, you scared me to death. So it's just to the equipment reinforcement hall. Follow me."

Morey felt relieved. After all, going to the equipment reinforcement hall was still very safe, and there was no possibility of performing any strange operations there.

When everyone walked into the equipment reinforcement hall, Su Xiao discovered that this place was no different from the equipment reinforcement hall of the Reincarnation Paradise, except that the equipment reinforcement machine was a bit taller. He came here to reinforce Checking Zhan Long Shan. As for what was needed for reinforcement, there were still 336 "Primordial Cores" in his storage space, which was more than enough.

Su Xiao came to an equipment reinforcement machine, observed it for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed it on it, then activated the effect of the "Dawn Ring." He wanted to summon a "Master Incarnation" who was most proficient in equipment reinforcement. If this were equipment notarized by another Paradise faction, Su Xiao wouldn't have this kind of attempt, but this was equipment notarized by the Dawn Paradise, and it was ranked third among Dawn-level items.

With a hum, a pitch-black "Ξ" brand representing the Dawn Paradise appeared on the ground. A "Master Incarnation" began to form. This figure was thin and weak, looking exactly like a lecherous little old man. When the faint light dissipated, Su Xiao suddenly discovered that this was actually...

A "Master Incarnation" formed with Caesar as the anchor point!

Seeing this "Master Incarnation," plus Su Xiao on the side, and the fact that this was the equipment reinforcement hall, the three Apocalypse sisters were so scared that they almost turned into a meme of people hugging each other and laughing while crying on the spot.

"Master Incarnation Caesar" in the equipment reinforcement hall of the Apocalypse Paradise, reinforcing Checking Zhan Long Shan—once this combination appeared, the reinforcement level of Checking Zhan Long Shan would likely be quite astonishing.

(End of chapter)
