Chapter 4181: Abyss

Dark, profound.

This place was the deepest part of the Abyss. Black liquid slowly floated upward, and various Abyss creatures swam here. A giant hall stood here, and the huge ancient door was closed.

If one could enter this Abyss Giant Hall, one would find that it was grand but had a bit of emptiness. There was no acquired decoration in the hall. Located at the dome of this giant hall were eyeballs of different sizes, which made a subtle surging sound, and the sound had a sticky feeling of liquid.

The only thing standing in this giant hall was the high seat that had existed since ancient times. The tall figure on the high seat, in dark gold battle armor, was majestic while also having a bit of bloated feeling. The one on this high seat was the Abyss Lord.

*Click~*

A subtle crisp sound appeared. Cracks appeared on the Abyss Lord's dark gold arm armor, and the cracks became more and more dense. Finally, the armor wrapping its entire arm shattered and scattered under the high seat.

After the dark gold battle armor shattered, what was revealed was not skin, but a layer of close-fitting battle armor as if pitch-black metal had been melted into liquid and then cast on the body. Strands of dark power dispersed from the battle armor, forming a V-shape in total, and blood-red eyes opened one by one.

*Bang! *

The Abyss Lord's entire dark gold armor shattered. Its aura actually climbed a notch on the current basis, which made its blood-red eyes narrow a bit. In the darkness behind it, overlapping whispers sounded, which were:

"Helos (Abyss language · this is transliteration · translated as Elemental Scholar)."

That's right, it was Elemental Scholar Helos, who didn't know where he was, who broke a secret treasure of the Abyss Lord. This ambitious Abyss Lord didn't show all its strength before. This dark gold battle armor, which cost an astonishing amount, had blocked a powerful peeping from the Astral Realm faction once. Otherwise, Elemental Scholar Helos wouldn't have been able to succeed this time.

Overlapping whispers came from behind the high seat. These were Dark Spirits. To a certain extent, they were parasites of the Abyss High Seat. They existed by relying on the High Seat, so they would serve every Abyss Lord with all their might. The Dark Spirits whispered in gloomy, deep, or bone-eroding charming voices:

"Supreme Lord of Darkness, don't pay attention to the scholar's."

"He just wants to, die, don't, cannot satisfy his wish."

"Who could have thought..."

A Dark Spirit had just said this when it discovered that an eye suddenly opened on the high seat, looking at it coldly. It immediately closed its mouth.

"King, that Law-Extinguisher will definitely come to fight, why don't we..."

"You bug, shut up, our King disdains such despicable means."

The whispers of the Dark Spirits gradually lowered. The figure on the high seat didn't pay attention to them. The Abyss Lord dominated the Abyss's invasion of the Astral Realm every moment. As for the fact that a Law-Extinguisher would come here, it had long expected it.

It had been sleeping before and basically didn't pay attention to the powerful people of all races in the Astral Realm, like stars in the sky. Until it felt the throbbing of fate in the dark, it was sure that this might be its mortal enemy. However, this mortal enemy had always been cautious, even if he broke into the Abyss, he reserved the protection of Paradise power.

The Abyss Lord on the high seat looked at the sky. This battle not only concerned the victory or defeat of the Abyss/Astral Realm but also represented who had the qualification to go further.

In the Abyss Lord's view, although it had hidden its true strength before, the Law-Extinguisher would inevitably have preparations beyond expectations. Who won and who lost depended on absolute power. A battle that gambled everything could not tolerate half-falseness.

Under the Black Maple Tree, Su Xiao ended this meditation. He invested all resources into Supreme attributes. It was like this when reaching this level of strength; everything had to be steady and solid. Breaking into the Abyss to fight the Abyss Lord to the death, if there was any power obtained by taking shortcuts, he would inevitably be beaten back to his original form at that time. He checked the "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow" ability that completed this increase.

【Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow, 390 (Ultimate Realm Technique · Passive)】

Basic Effect: All technique ability comprehensive strength increases by 10,975% (increase 2,200%).

Skill Effect: Extreme Blade (Exclusive Passive)...

Current Extreme Blade · Cornerstone Strength: 1,179 points (increase 165 points).

Ultimate Realm Effect 1: Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow (Ultimate Realm · Exclusive Passive)...

Ultimate Realm Effect 2: Realm of No-Self · My Supreme (Ultimate Realm · Exclusive Passive), enter the "Realm of No-Self," lock onto the enemy's causality existence and everything about it, the next slash will definitely be unavoidable. You will briefly forget all the blade techniques of the past, only retaining the one blade technique currently used, and raising it to the limit.

Current Realm of No-Self improvement limit: 89 times move power (after reaching the 80 times limit, subsequent improvement difficulty will "greatly" increase).

After this level of increase, coupled with the "Extreme · Blade Edge" passive after all Supreme attributes reached 300 points, it seemed to be an increase of 35%, not a soaring of dozens or hundreds of times. But after reaching this level, not to mention the outrageous increase of 35%, every 1% increase required massive resources.

As for wearing the "Endless Ring" to increase 20% Supreme attributes, the upper limit of the "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow" level derived from "Extreme Shadow" was not feasible. "Extreme Shadow" must be his own permanent Supreme attribute increase to trigger.

Just at this time, a mail belonging to the Tree of the Void appeared. Checking the other party's information, it actually showed Elemental Scholar. Opening the mail, inside was the information about the Abyss Lord's hidden strength from Elemental Scholar Helos.

When the Abyss campaign just started, the Abyss Lord showed its face. The dark gold battle armor was indeed slightly bloated, but battle armor was like this. Now it seemed that this battle armor was actually a special treasure. Su Xiao was sure that the Abyss Lord's move was not hiding strength because it expected this death battle, but was avoiding the overlooking from above the dome.

It seemed that the Abyss Lord also noticed that the current Supreme Being had become different, and the malice toward Supreme-level existences was gradually becoming stronger. The choice to hide part of its strength was undoubtedly very wise.

For the warning of Elemental Scholar Helos, Su Xiao attached great importance to it. Fortunately, he had improvements beyond expectations here. Both sides had trump cards. Although this decisive battle would be more tragic, it also made people look forward to it. To be honest, the intensity of the battle with Shadow of Dark Tide, Aivila was still not enough. Su Xiao's life value (number of life cores) didn't even reach below 50%.

Next, fighting the Abyss Lord would definitely be a life-and-death struggle. Su Xiao had 2,970 life cores, and counting the blessing of the "Endless Ring," it directly broke 3,600. This kind of formidable vitality was an important bargaining chip for him to fight the Abyss Lord to the death in the Abyss environment.

Su Xiao took out all the accumulated "Soul Energy Crystals" and began to continuously improve the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability. After consuming a small half of the accumulated "Soul Energy Crystals," the only ability that could be improved with "Soul Energy Crystals" was "Qing Gang Ying."

【Magic Spirit Awakening,.】

Skill Effect 1: Blade Magic Spirit strength has reached.

Skill Effect 2: Replace (Passive), instantly "replace" position with Blade Magic Spirit, no activation delay, usage process, etc. This characteristic will not be interrupted, sealed, blocked, etc., by any means, and can be "definitely completed."

Number of uses: -/- (no upper limit on number of uses).

Law-Extinguisher · Bai Ye Exclusive Characteristic · Instant Return: Within 3 seconds of using "Replace" to swap positions with the Magic Spirit, you can choose to "replace" positions with the Magic Spirit again. Even if the Magic Spirit is in a scattered state, this ability can still be used, and "Instant Return" has the same level of "cannot be interrupted, sealed, blocked, etc." as "Replace," and can be "definitely completed."

Usage distance: Within the entire Astral Realm range (the farthest distance can reach from the center of the Astral Realm to the Abyss drifting land).

Skill Effect 3: Power Endowment (Passive), you can select one of your current abilities to endow the Magic Spirit to a certain extent. The endowment ratio is 70%–80% (depending on the strength of the endowed ability, determining the lower limit to upper limit).

Skill Effect 4: Physique Endowment (Passive), the Magic Spirit will inherit 50% of your physique strength, that is, inherit 50% of your Supreme Strength, Supreme Agility, Supreme Stamina, and Supreme Intelligence (Magic Spirit has no life core. As long as you are not dead and Zhan Long Shan is not damaged, the Magic Spirit cannot be destroyed).

Hint: 38,000 natural days after your death, the Magic Spirit in Zhan Long Shan will begin to go silent. It is expected that after 456,000 natural days, it will enter a deep silent state until it completely disappears after long years.

Skill Effect 5: Covenant · Soul Prisoner (Passive), when the Magic Spirit is within a range of 500–50,000 meters around you (can be controlled by yourself), your soul power will have absolute suppression on its consciousness, making it in a state of conscious chaos. When the Magic Spirit leaves this maximum range, it will have gradually clear self-judgment and action ability.

The Magic Spirit reached the limit, but it was still firmly suppressed by Su Xiao. It wasn't that Su Xiao had any peculiar ability; it was that his current soul strength was 64,100 points, which was the powerful soul nourished by all Supreme attributes reaching 316 points. This absolute suppression of soul power led to him basically not feeling the backlash of the Magic Spirit. As for the Magic Spirit completely giving up backlash, this was impossible.

Su Xiao invested the remaining "Soul Energy Crystals" into the "Qing Gang Ying" ability. When 65 "Soul Energy Crystals" remained, the Qing Gang Ying ability reached the limit. In this way, his Qing Gang Ying system was completely accomplished, or rather, it reached the limit that this system could reach. If he wanted to continue, only he himself had to move forward again.

As for how to move forward, it was not difficult to say. Su Xiao's current system was already a whole. If he continued to increase Supreme attributes later, his various Law-Extinguisher Shadow system abilities would also appear strength improvements with his own becoming stronger.

Any subsequent Law-Extinguisher Shadow ability improvement would also have a wonderful and natural promotion in its ability core. What Su Xiao had to do was to record the Law-Extinguisher system ability that completed such a promotion onto the Awakening Monument. In this way, the version of this ability mastered by future generations would naturally have a higher upper limit.

This was also why there was a "little bit" of danger when mastering Law-Extinguisher system abilities. Of course, for abilities like Qing Gang Ying and Qing Ying Wang, Su Xiao wouldn't move them. Sometimes it wasn't that the higher the ability upper limit, the better; one had to ensure that new Law-Extinguishers could master this ability.

【Hint: Because your Qing Gang Ying ability has reached the limit, its "Defense Form · Proud Song" has become a separate ability. Currently it is:】

【"Proud Song (Passive), can generate crystal defense of any form to defend against enemy attacks. The crystal strength is directly proportional to the consumed Qing Ying Wang energy. The single Qing Ying Wang energy upper limit is 10% of the current "Qing Ying Wang energy upper limit," and it already possesses one of the top defense strengths to date."】

【Qing Gang Ying: (Active/Passive Skill · Fully Awakened State)】

Usage Condition: After opening the Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 1,000 points of Qing Ying Wang energy per minute.

Active Effect: Each melee attack will burn 50% of the enemy's maximum mana (or other body energy) and cause 25 times the burned mana value in true damage, that is, at least 15 life cores of true damage. The enemy will bear "intense pain" and "body/soul imbalance" after mana burning.

Hint: When the enemy's body energy is burned out, Qing Gang Ying energy will enter "intense burning," and can perform energy burning without the enemy's body energy. Subsequent slashes attached with Qing Gang Ying ability will attach true damage that can destroy at least 30 life cores of strength.

The Qing Gang Ying ability underwent a qualitative change. Not to mention the formidable power of Qing Gang Ying now, the previous Qing Gang Ying was useless once the enemy's body energy was exhausted. Now it became that after the enemy's body energy was exhausted, the damage doubled. Thinking about it, this was very normal, because now opening the Qing Gang Ying ability consumed "Qing Ying Wang energy."

One of the characteristics of Qing Ying Wang was that the more the enemy's body energy was consumed, the higher the damage caused. Right now, the Qing Gang Ying ability doubled the true damage after the enemy's body energy was exhausted, which became a matter of course.

As for the damage intensity, Su Xiao always had the habit of judging the enemy according to himself. This time he was fighting the Abyss Lord. With the Abyss's nourishing characteristic, it was very possible that the Abyss Lord's life core number was higher than his own. Looking at it this way, one slash carrying 30 life cores of damage was not that outrageous. But the problem was that his one slash didn't only have the Qing Gang Ying kill effect.

If he didn't estimate wrong, Su Xiao and the Abyss Lord were both fighting with attack power to the extreme, health and defense also very thick, and all kinds of abilities maxed out.

It could only be said that fortunately, this was a battle in the Abyss; otherwise, heaven knows what kind of appearance the Astral Realm would be destroyed into. And, although Su Xiao entered the Abyss alone to fight the Abyss Lord, he didn't worry about being besieged. After the exchange, to say something unpleasant, peak-level existences would die after a few impacts if they were in the impact range.

Su Xiao took out the communicator. It took a few minutes to get through. The opposite side came:

"My dear friend, is there any good news?"

"Tomorrow morning, you can take action."

"My dear friend, let's meet at the Void base camp."

"Good."

Su Xiao hung up the communication and took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny to leave the exclusive room. Benny, who was eating ice cream, ate it up in a hurry. As soon as the teleportation started, Benny's little expression put on a mask of pain. The ice cream made of ice shaved with extreme ice, eaten in a hurry, made Benny's little head buzz.

When the teleportation ended, Benny was still keeping the posture with cold air on her head. Su Xiao looked around. Although there were still wounded, the situation in the base camp was okay, but the atmosphere was very oppressive and tense. The huge countdown above represented that the world owned by the leader was about to collapse.

Speaking of which, since the end of the last Abyss campaign, the leader's accumulation, besides restoring his own Supreme combat power, had all been used on "reappearance from the past" and "Realm of No Killing." It seemed that the leader had never walked out of the last Abyss campaign. In that Abyss campaign, besides Tally, he lost everything, and even the Law-Extinguisher friends who survived were demonized by the blade and no longer recognized him.

Su Xiao came to the second basement level of the base camp, the trading market spontaneously formed by their own participants. It could be said to be bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone wanted to turn gains into combat power, but most were resource exchanges, after all, no one had Space-Time Power on hand.

After a while, Su Xiao saw Caesar, who was bargaining for 199 ounces of Space-Time Power with a Tier 9 contractor at a stall, and his smile became more treacherous as he bargained.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked. Caesar looked over at the sound and stopped bargaining with the Tier 9 contractor. The old brother wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know why, but facing this treacherous little old man whose combat power was weak as slag, he had a kind of inexplicable pressure, as if his wallet was not guaranteed at any time.

"My dear friend, you say, can we succeed this time."

As Caesar spoke, his smile became more treacherous.

"Can."

"Oh? Do you have the certainty of winning?"

"Hmm."

"What means? Can you reveal it?"

"If not win, then die."

Su Xiao's certainty made Caesar speechless. Then he returned to the look of the wretched little old man of the past. His eyes revealed turbid yellow light, and he said:

"It seems I'm a bit lost. That's right, we all crawled from the humble to this height. Even if we fall and die, we have seen the scenery at this height."

Caesar said to this, wretchedly rubbed his hands: "Of course, for me, my little life is the most important."

Don't look at Caesar saying this. If he were really that afraid of death, he wouldn't challenge the "Abyss Treasury" at all. Even if Caesar was greedy for life and afraid of death, there were things he was willing to risk his life to bet on.

As for the wealth level of the "Abyss Treasury," let's put it this way: this "Abyss Treasury," which had accumulated for an unknown number of Great Epochs, coupled with the extreme wealth of the Abyss, had a financial strength that was unimaginable.

"My dear friend, if I succeed, I will support you. I don't want to stay in an Astral Realm overlooked by a gradually out-of-control Watcher."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak and stepped out of the trading market. Meeting an old friend this time was very likely the last time for both sides. So there was no particularly important matter after meeting. Just as Caesar said, both sides had come all the way from the humble. Meeting and chatting for a few words at this moment was purely because of the friendship that had always existed.

Just returning to the first floor of the base camp, Su Xiao faintly felt the throbbing of the Magic Spirit in Zhan Long Shan. He looked to the right, and it was the Blade Demon walking over. At this moment, the pitch black in the Blade Demon's eyes had faded. He... found himself.

"This time, is it you."

The Blade Demon spoke. The Blade Demon who had regained his sanity had a kind of vicissitudes. Thinking about it, who could have his experience and not be vicissitudinous?

"It is."

"That's good."

The Blade Demon threw a mechanical structure, a finely detailed alchemical creation. This thing was about the size of an apple, and inside was an alien space.

"It, belongs to you. Wish you, success."

The Blade Demon didn't say anything else and turned to walk toward the front line he had guarded before. This person who had just woken up was the familiar Abyss campaign, which almost made him mistakenly think that the last Abyss campaign hadn't been finished, and the years of Blade Demon memory were just a short-term delusion after losing consciousness. But looking around, he found something wrong. He didn't know any of the peak-level existences present. Not long after, he reacted. He had seamlessly connected two Abyss campaigns.

Su Xiao tried to urge the alchemical creation in his hand. This thing was a very primitive alchemical storage secret treasure, but its process of storing items was complex, but this old antique had a characteristic, which was that the internal space was extremely stable.

After checking, he found that inside was a Black Maple Tree that was not well taken care of but was sturdy. It seemed that this was the Black Maple Tree that belonged to the Blade Demon located at the bottom of the Black Abyss before.

Su Xiao now had three Black Maple Trees. It seemed he hadn't heard of any saying of synthesizing Black Maple Trees, and the current combat power was the final strength to challenge the Abyss Lord. There were still more than 3 hours before the campaign would continue. Looking at the offensive of the Abyss Legion, there was no time to increase Supreme attributes and complete combat power adaptation.

Footsteps came. It was a disciple of the Dwarf King he had seen before. This was a small giant blacksmith. The small giant blacksmith panted and respectfully handed over a long wooden box:

"Lord Bai Ye, this is your Demon-Sealing."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just nodded to express his gratitude, which made the small giant blacksmith smile honestly. Wearing his craftsman suspenders, he scratched the back of his head. Suddenly he remembered something.

"Lord Bai Ye, this is self-made by me. I don't know if you can use it."

The small giant blacksmith handed over a rough crystal stone, still smiling cautiously.

【You have obtained Whetstone.】

【Whetstone (Origin-level item): Can be used on slashing-type items, temporarily increasing their sharpness by 5% (can temporarily break the upper limit), effect lasts for 12 hours.】

Su Xiao looked at the small giant blacksmith. At this point, he finally saw the difference in the other party. That kind of dim but deep causality was very like the three legendary blacksmiths, but it was too inconspicuous. This might be a legendary blacksmith of the fourth or fifth epoch. What he inherited was not the Dwarf King, and the causality feeling was very like the Molten Giant.

It was just that the causality fluctuation of the small giant blacksmith was obscure and dim. This blacksmith would experience many hardships and pains on the road in the future, but this was also fate.

Su Xiao stepped toward the teleportation platform. After walking a few steps, he paused and said: "Your master's achievement, you might not be unable to."

"Lord Bai Ye, I am so dull... are you comforting me?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just turned his head slightly to look at the small giant blacksmith. The small giant blacksmith immediately felt that he was stupid. How could such a god of slaughter who shook the Astral Realm comfort others?

"Then, Lord Bai Ye, I really can."

"Hahaha, why can't you!"

Baha flew over and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, together with Amu. Now Amu was full of momentum. Not to mention the Abyss system, their own participants were afraid to look at it. A few bites for an ancient Abyss existence that was seriously injured—who wouldn't have their scalp numb when they saw it?

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny all stood on the teleportation array. Target: Underworld.

More than three hours later, with a loud bang, the leader's "Realm of No Killing" collapsed, and a long horn sound came. All their participants abandoned various front lines and surrounded the base camp in a circular shape.

Looking down from the sky, after the long horn sound ended, from the five fully unfolded Abyss Gates, the Abyss Legion like a black tide rushed out. What was more terrible was that all ancient Abyss existences also poured out.

"Abyss Magic Eyes" were located in the sky, totaling more than 30, and every one destroyed was filled in. All released characteristic abilities were suppressed by 9%.

Less than five minutes after the war started, the Void battlefield entered an extremely tragic stage. Not to mention Tier 9, Absolute, and Supreme, under such circumstances, peak powerhouses died at any time. One could imagine how tragic Tier 9, Absolute, and Supreme were. More than a hundred teleportation arrays in the base camp began to teleport and supplement participants without stopping for a moment.

At this moment, Underworld · Extreme South · Dark Earth. The sky here was pitch black, and the air was filled with black liquid beads of different sizes. The largest Abyss Gate in the world was opened here. From the Abyss Gates in the Underworld, one could see that the major forces in the Underworld had really been beaten by the Abyss faction quite a bit.

Near this Abyss Gate, many Abyss races were originally guarding, but at this time they had turned into corpses everywhere. Su Xiao stopped in front of the Abyss Gate. The Magic Spirit that came here early to clear the field was collected back into Zhan Long Shan by him.

"Woof!"

"Meow!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny reached an agreement, but after Su Xiao stared for a few seconds, they both wilted, indicating that they would return to the Void base camp later and wait for the final news. As for Amu and Baha, they entered the Abyss with Su Xiao.

"Boss, really didn't expect it, we actually have today, ahahahaha."

Baha laughed very happily. His heart was surging at this moment, landing on Su Xiao's shoulder. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny left with the teleportation device.

Su Xiao stepped toward the Abyss Gate in front. Amu followed behind him. He walked into it, and the thick darkness like a tide hit his face. All the way climbing to the stronger, at this very moment, he could finally step into the Abyss openly.

The originally estimated situation was to kill all the way after entering the Abyss, but the actual situation was different. The Abyss Legion was attacking the Void base camp with all its strength. This must be the decision of Abyss Governor Moyamu.

This person knew that the death battle between the Abyss Lord and the Law-Extinguisher was inevitable. Others, not to mention assisting, didn't even have the qualification to arrive nearby after the battle started. So he put full pressure on the Void base camp. As long as the Supreme-level existence of the Void dared to leave half a step, he would let the lair of the Astral Realm faction turn into ashes.

Once the Void base camp was breached, the Abyss faction would win. At that time, Su Xiao, who was fighting the Abyss Lord to the death, would not only face the destined defeat but also the Abyss environment where darkness was boiling.

Under his feet was dark sedimentation that was bottomless like water liquid. Su Xiao walked on it as if on flat ground. And Baha, who was an intruder on his shoulder, immediately attracted a large number of Abyss creatures to the surroundings. But after arriving nearby, they either retreated into the darkness or prostrated on the ground. They feared the Abyss Lord, and also feared the Astral Realm Chosen who had sealed the Supreme.

In the rustling sound on both sides, or the fearful low roar, Su Xiao walked on the path cleared by the massive Abyss creatures. As he moved forward, the crowded Abyss creatures in front fled in panic to the channel forward, until a giant hall appeared in front.

Baha flew to Amu's shoulder. Amu flowed with darkness, wrapping Baha. In this way, as long as Amu didn't die, Baha wouldn't die. And currently, Amu's survival ability in the Abyss was very formidable, provided that it didn't enter the giant hall.

Guarding outside the Abyss Giant Hall were Abyss Knights in black heavy armor, with three arms and a single eye on their chests. They stood in two rows and didn't move. This was clearly the Abyss Lord's order.

Su Xiao stopped in front of the giant hall and pushed the hall door with both hands.

*Click-clack~*

The heavy door was pushed open by him. While this pitch-black metal giant door was pushed open, there were dark flesh-like filaments between the doors. As the door gap was pushed larger, the dark flesh was broken.

Su Xiao walked into it, and with a *boom*, the door closed. Amu stood with his back to the dark giant door. As long as these Abyss Knights in front of the hall had any movement, Amu's full mouth of teeth could try whether they could chew them up and swallow them.

In the dim and empty giant hall, whispers seemed to come from unknown places. Su Xiao stopped in the center of the giant hall, standing on the naturally formed bright red pattern array, looking at the figure on the high seat opposite, his hand pressed on the end of the blade hilt at his waist.

The death battle of the Abyss was about to begin.
