Chapter 4200: Incarnation
The massive "World-Level Annihilation Law Transmission Array" instantly enveloped half of the Wind Sea battlefield. Among the five clan chiefs, the most burly Beast Clan Chief, Luen Kui, made a motion to punch down, but was stopped by the collective entity leader composed of what seemed like millions of black scale-line worms, which spoke in Abyssal language.
One second before the transmission activated, Su Xiao heard what the collective entity leader said in Abyssal language: "Eternal Light."
This led Su Xiao to conclude one of two things: either the collective entity leader is a spatial-system powerhouse, or it can to some extent predict the future; the spatial-system possibility is low.
Boom!
After a thunderous roar that echoed across the entire battlefield, Su Xiao, along with many Black Knights and Evil Pu tribe members, disappeared.
When the surrounding world regained clarity, Su Xiao arrived at the collapsing Eternal Light world. Behind him stood only half of the burning Stellar Giant Tree, which seemed to have been cleaved in two.
The Abyssal legion that arrived here had wisps of white mist rising from their bodies. They truly cannot survive long in elemental environments, but this does not mean they fear it; they recklessly charged at Su Xiao.
When the melee subsided, Su Xiao beheaded a Snake Person clan chief with one slash and deactivated the Azure Shadow King state, but the darkness in his eyes did not fade—this was due to severe Abyssal corrosion. Without his 688 points of Abyssal resistance, he would not only be unable to fight but would see his HP plummet drastically. On the battlefield, the strongest who died, over seventy percent, perished from Abyssal power erosion.
Fighting the Abyssal legion's Evil Pu tribe, Black Knights, Snake People, and Dark Giants—no matter how many more there are, Su Xiao could slaughter them all; it's just a matter of time. The real threat to him comes from the ancient Abyssal entities lurking in the shadows. Even in single combat, he fears none, but the problem is, when surrounded by the Abyssal legion, being constantly ambushed by these peers begins to turn dangerous.
Some of these are not weaker than the five great clan chiefs—some are even stronger—but they generally cannot be negotiated with, and are even of deranged or insane mentality, only obeying the Abyssal Lord. Coupled with their strange nature, Su Xiao was besieged for four days, during which 186 life nuclei shattered, leaving 108. Of the shattered 78 life nuclei, over eighty percent were due to these ancient Abyssal entities; the rest were from accumulated Abyssal power erosion.
Since this battle began, all participants could see the "Abyssal Erosion Meter"—a basic certification of the battlefield. When the meter reaches full value, it is one's death date. Su Xiao possesses 688 points of Abyssal resistance. Leaving aside that his "Abyssal Erosion Meter" is absurdly long, even if besieged and filled to the brim, it would only shatter one life nucleus, then the meter would be consumed by over eighty percent and begin re-accumulating.
Ultimately, the Abyssal erosion on the Wind Sea Continent is too high—so high that the Abyssal legion could invade this place at the war's outset. In contrast, the peak powerhouses of Blazing Sun Star and Ancient Dragon Realm, as long as they maintain their domains open and are not held back by peers of equal strength, can defend their lines exceptionally tenaciously.
The strength of "Domain-System Peak Powerhouses" guarding the front lines on the battlefield is such that even in the Void Core battlefield, from Solar Seth to now, they still hold the front—evidence enough. Outside the Wind Sea Continent.
The initial Abyssal erosion of this world is too high; by comparison, the Myriad Realms Boundary is at 5%, while here it is over 80% directly, which also causes this realm to have very many "ancient Abyssal entities." Most of the participating "ancient Abyssal entities" have come here. If one dares to open their domain to maximum, once multiple ancient Abyssal entities wander into the domain, one may not die but will shed a layer of skin. Simultaneously, if over a dozen peers of ancient Abyssal entities enter the domain, unless one can immediately retreat to the main camp, death is certain.
This is also why, after the Enlightenment Peak powerhouses retreated to the main camp, they immediately became capable of fighting—because they could finally sustain their domains open. At this point, even if "ancient Abyssal entities" burrow into the domain, due to multiple peak domains in the main camp overlapping and interweaving, it is instead the "ancient Abyssal entities" that dare not intrude.
The reason the first Enlightenment Peak powerhouse contractor to die on the Wind Sea battlefield fell was because they opened their peak domain too ostentatiously. In essence, the Wind Sea Continent is, in everyone's view, a main battlefield that must be abandoned. The purpose of defending it is to tie down large numbers of ancient Abyssal entities, thereby more securely winning the Myriad Realms Boundary battle.
Su Xiao glanced at the crimson secret medicine in his storage space. He still has 108 life nuclei left—no need to use this. During these days of melee, he has not been ambushed few times by ancient Abyssal entities. He deliberately endured so much, letting himself be "severely injured," finally drawing out these five clan chiefs.
If he gulped down a bottle of potion, restoring some life nuclei, it would startle the especially steady old-timer among them, causing them to suddenly flee. Then these days of deliberate injuries he endured, leading to successive life nucleus shattering, would have been in vain.
After all, earlier a single glance had slain a named peak Abyssal descendant—quite shocking to hear. If not given a chance, Su Xiao suspects these five old things will hide in the shadows until the Insect Tribe begins counterattack, and these five old things will not show their faces. From the situation on the Wind Sea Continent, our side indeed cannot afford to wait.
"Such severe Abyssal erosion, and you haven't even begun Abyssalization?"
Fish Clan Chief Em Ken Sa spoke. The burly Beast Clan Chief Luen Kui pushed him aside, strode forward, and behind him, the Chimera Clan Chief—this existence like a semi-transparent liquid—suddenly turned semi-fluid and submerged into Luen Kui's back.
"Partner, we've long not joined hands in slaughter."
Luen Kui grinned broadly. Beneath his crimson skin, it seemed as if countless invisible worms were wriggling, causing his aura to surge.
The Bronze Clan Chief wearing a silver crow mask was about to speak.
Boom!
The shockwave spread. Luen Kui, wielding a blade over five meters long with liquid Abyssal power flowing down its heavy surface, charged out. This Abyssal weapon in his hand has no name, yet it in no way conceals its ferocity.
Therefore, this world is collapsing. Above is a vortex-like sea of massive world fragments, forming a great vortex. Below, Luen Kui surged along the ground, and the terrain he passed suddenly cracked and shattered. The space he passed through was struck into crackling fragmentation.
Wind pressure came head-on, making the bare-chested Su Xiao instantly adopt the same hairstyle as Ginsley. Facing this heaven-shattering, earth-destroying slash, he had not the slightest intention to retreat, and delivered a heavy slash.
Boom!
A shockwave spread from Su Xiao and Luen Kui as the origin point toward the surroundings. The ground where they stood briefly stilled, then suddenly collapsed downward, forming a giant crater covered in tortoise-shell cracks. Under pressure, underground magma sprayed out from the crack traces, making the scene extremely spectacular.
With a whoosh, a sharp spike came from the side—exactly the crow-masked, black liquid-robed Bronze Clan Chief.
Crack!
Su Xiao's crystal left arm, gripping the invisible spike with one hand, in the next moment, black liquid clung to his body, turning into black scale-line worms—an attack from the collective entity leader. These black scale-line worms began burrowing into Su Xiao's flesh and blood. This is not yet complete; a withered hand had already pressed against his back—this is the Fish Clan Chief, Em Ken Sa, skilled in poison.
Other peak powerhouses facing this situation would deem it a dead end. As for this scene, Su Xiao's left leg had already bent and lifted. Facing attacks from all four sides, he stomped down with one foot.
Boom~!
Golden technique energy shook the earth. Without exaggeration, the entire Eternal Light world trembled because of it, and the collapsing vortex in the sky nearly got scattered by a single stomp.
When fighting the Abyssal legion, Su Xiao had been holding back his strength, waiting for the Abyssal camp—aside from the Abyssal Lord—to send others to assassinate him. Best if all five great Abyssal bloodline clan chiefs came together—then it would be perfect, as he happens to have this "bounty mission."
This stomp's might made everyone except the Beast Clan Chief Luen Kui feel their senses buzz. The fish-like old-timer Fish Clan Chief Em Ken Sa simply flew backward.
At this moment, the Fish Clan Chief, Collective Entity Leader, Bronze Clan Chief, and Chimera Clan Chief in mid-flight backward all shared the same thought: ……What kind of monster is this?!
Biting wind pressure, centered on Su Xiao, ravaged the surroundings. The Beast Clan Chief Luen Kui, his body covered in bloodstains, grinned. It had been too long since he met such an opponent. This feeling—where a slight mistake means death on the spot—is exactly what he loves about combat.
Luen Kui, baring a mouthful of even teeth in a wide grin, had blood surge from between his teeth worth mentioning: his blood is actually blood-red, unlike other Abyssal powerhouses whose blood is pitch-black.
Clang, clang!
Two consecutive slashes. Luen Kui blocked them in succession. After blocking the second slash, he gripped the hilt of his blade with one hand and pressed the other against the blade's spine. His towering frame suddenly dropped to one knee, his strong upper body covered in cracks.
A straight kick came toward Luen Kui. His vertical pupils suddenly contracted. A foreign entity named Death, at this moment, felt startlingly alive.
With a booming sound, the slender-built Bronze Clan Chief, giving off a sharp impression, flew backward, while the Beast Clan Chief stood where he had just been.
After the Bronze Clan Chief flew backward a distance, he suddenly halted in midair. The redirected damage caused the world behind him to crackle and shatter, space continuously breaking, extending all the way to the limits of vision.
Even so, the Bronze Clan Chief wearing a crow mask and a high-collared long robe had black blood oozing from his collar, forming a large pool beneath his feet.
With a boom, a towering stone tablet smashed down beside Luen Kui. Upon closer look, it was the "Origin Clan Crest" of the Luen family. Seeing this, the Fish Clan Chief's face darkened. The Bronze Clan Chief suddenly charged at Luen Kui, the recently kicked-back Chimera Clan Chief re-merged into his old partner's heart, the Collective Entity Leader hesitated, glanced at the blood smoke rising from the Annihilator on his body, then also turned into vast numbers of black scale-line worms and submerged into Luen Kui's back.
Only the Fish Clan Chief Em Ken Sa and Luen Kui remained on the field. On Luen Kui's right chest, a crow mask appeared. It spoke in Abyssal language:
"Dead fish, what are you hesitating about?"
Hearing this urging, the Fish Clan Chief Em Ken Sa's teeth clenched and clicked. That was still in ancient times, when they jointly faced the Abyssal Shadow Heman Cain—the Annihilator Shadow so powerful it made people's hair stand on end. After that, the five of them only truly separated in the second epoch, following the Elemental Cataclysm's end and the dawn of the new era.
During this time spent with these bastards, the Fish Clan Chief Em Ken Sa did not want to recall—five great consciousnesses sealed and trapped in one mighty body. Even without this time's disgusting worm from Dugal Cain, it was still not what the Fish Clan Chief wanted to face. But seeing the blood smoke rising from opposite, the Annihilator temporarily blocked by endless Abyssal power bursting outward to the surroundings, the Fish Clan Chief hardened his heart, transformed into vast sea-worm-like material, and burrowed into Luen Kui's back heart.
Originally so strong as to be heart-stopping, one glance showed explosive power. Luen Kui let out a painful howl from his mouth—enough to make this battle maniac howl thus, one can imagine the agony he now endures.
Pop-pop-pop~
The sound of bones swelling like bursting beans appeared. Luen Kui's spinal joints protruded one by one, the whole body forming an arc. White long hair grew on his head. The muscles on his body were no longer exaggeratedly strong, but gathered and internalized. His black skin surged, and worms writhed out, hanging from his arms, armpits, etc., like the tassels of dark beauty, making one's sanity plummet.
Pop!
A crisp sound came from Luen Kui's nape. His spinal bone fully protruded. He gripped it with his right hand and pulled outward. Amid the flying spray of Abyssal black worms, a near-five-meter-long spinal bone curved blade emerged—wide and thick, continuously dripping black liquid and Abyssal black worms. When the worms touched the ground, they eroded the surface into evaporation.
At this moment, this existence is clearly not led by the five great clan chiefs, but was summoned here by them via some secret method. Its name is Dark Incarnation.
Do not think for a moment that this existence before you is the powerful being formed after the five great clan chiefs fused into one. What the five great clan chiefs did was not merge their powers. The powers of the five great Abyssal bloodlines share a source but diverge in branches. If they truly merged, the most likely outcome would be a thunderous boom, triggering a power explosion echoing throughout the Eternal Light world.
What the five great clan chiefs did was use their respective powers to maintain and allow the Abyssal darkness to descend. Calling this dark incarnation an Abyssal incarnation is also acceptable. In fact, the Abyssal incarnation has another more familiar name: ……Dark Nursery.
A huge eye appeared behind the Abyssal Incarnation, this eye like a great vortex, it stared at Su Xiao, after a moment, cracks appeared on this eye, it began to shatter, this represents the Abyssal Nursery watching this place, it will give power to the one responsible for battle, the "Abyssal Incarnation".
In the end, the Abyssal Nursery is an Abyssal existence, when the Abyssal's erosion descends, it will stand on the side of the Abyssal camp, even if it disagrees with the current Abyssal Lord's opinion, but ultimately it is of the same source.
Crack~
The Abyssal Incarnation, with a slightly hunched body but still over six meters tall, shouldered the Abyssal Greatsword in its hand, its left hand naturally hung down, the pupils of its two eyes gradually contracted.
Initially, the Abyssal Incarnation was somewhat confused, it raised its left hand, looking at its own left hand, seeming somewhat puzzled, the last time it woke up it was still fighting the Abyssal Shadow·Himan·Cain, after killing the opponent, these unworthy vessels could not bear it, and its twin sister took the opportunity to gain the upper hand again, causing it to fall into a long slumber.
"Ha~"
The Abyssal Incarnation exhaled cold air, its gaze looked toward the front's Extinction Law User, the first impression was doubt, although it did not know what era this was, the human race of this era had already become this strong? It seems the human race ultimately rose.
This is not important, having such an opponent right after waking up, it is very satisfied.
Boom!!
Starting from the Abyssal Incarnation, vast darkness erupted toward the surroundings, like a spreading angry tide, in the next instant blood energy collided.
Two auras violently collided, the dark aura and the crimson blood energy had a clear boundary, the ferocious dark beast and the huge blood beast faced off, in the next second, the two figures beneath the dark beast and blood beast suddenly disappeared.
The long blade and the heavy black blade clashed, initially there was no intense shock, but after a brief silence, a deep muffled roar spread out.
Looking down from above, with a rumble, everything on the Eternal Light World's ground was flattened by the impact, the ocean surrounding the vast continent where the two were located, due to the incoming impact, flowed outward and for a time actually surged toward the sky, under such terrifying impact, the sea actually submerged the sky, finally, in the world fragment vortex above, the seawater sank into the vortex.
Crack, crack!
Around Su Xiao and the Abyssal Incarnation, there were chaotic mist fragments appearing after the world shattered, the Abyssal Incarnation's mouth corner split open, the long blade and black blade faced off, its other two left hands pressed against the blade spine, this let its power erupt again, the Abyssal Black Insects hanging like tassels on its arms let out roars.
However, under the Abyssal Incarnation's slightly surprised gaze, the opposing long blade suddenly pressed forward, immense power surged, the Abyssal Incarnation truly doubted this time, the human race's limit actually had this kind of power?
With a click, the ground beneath the Abyssal Incarnation, hardened to over ninety percent metal strength, suddenly cracked, a blade force slash.
Thud!
The Abyssal Incarnation flew backward, after flying a distance, dark tentacles suddenly appeared behind it, letting it stabilize in midair, then naturally fall down.
Pfft~
One of the Abyssal Incarnation's left hands pulled down the face representing the Bronze Clan Leader from its chest, stuffed it into its mouth and gulped it down, this let its power suddenly surge a notch, please do not misunderstand, the Abyssal Incarnation is not temporarily boosting power, it is releasing power, the Five Clan Leaders as vessels cannot let it exert full power, now strengthening the vessel again, letting it exert more power.
With a crack, black thunder fell, the Abyssal Incarnation raised its head and roared loudly, its head full of white hair, behind it were scattered like wings strip-like black cloaks, layers of air waves spread outward, the Abyssal Incarnation seemed to become a wind hole, continuously spreading power outward.
Obviously, although the Abyssal Incarnation is somewhat mad, it clearly knows that this opponent is likely the strongest enemy it has encountered below the Supreme Realm, if not for its symbiote having no interest in the Supreme Realm, it would have already achieved Supreme, both born in darkness and bound by darkness, the Nursery not advancing toward Supreme, the Incarnation can never take that step, conversely the same.
The Nursery only once obtained the "Abyssal Heart", but gave it to the previous Abyssal Lord, precisely said, it was given before the previous Abyssal Lord's descent, thus helping this one ascend that Abyssal throne.
Actually, whether it is the Nursery or the Incarnation, neither is only of one generation, just like the Abyssal Lord, this is a position of Abyssal causality with a power source, obtaining the position also obtains this power, of course, before this one itself must be very strong, only the Nursery and Incarnation are hard to perish, plus generations of Nursery are generally stable, letting the current Nursery and Incarnation be merely the third generation among predecessors.
Over these many years, the Abyssal Incarnation accumulated unprecedented power between peak and Supreme Realm, this let it in ancient times find no opponent at the peak realm, now, the Abyssal Incarnation has found an opponent.
In the surging spreading dark tide, Su Xiao watched the Abyssal Incarnation's aura surge a notch, he originally thought it was to deal with the Five Clan Leaders, now it seems not so, and, after reaching his current strength, he indeed has not yet encountered a true opponent, the last fight with the Frost Wind King only gave some battle boiling feeling, result the Frost Wind King just died like that.
A bottle of bright red potion appeared in Su Xiao's hand, after squeezing it, the scattered bright red potion sank into his body, letting his already shattered fate cores reassemble, the inspiration of this bright red potion comes from the "Extreme Passive·Life Tyrant's Dignity" corresponding to 40 points of Supreme attribute.
"Life Tyrant's Dignity (Passive): Can greatly devour 'Star Realm Special Energy', recover 30 shattered fate cores, using this ability brings great bodily burden."
"Star Realm Origin Power" Su Xiao has a way to obtain, the key is how to specialize it, this is obviously solvable by pharmacology, the only problem is, this "Fate Core Secret Medicine" is very expensive, plus its storage time is short, so he only brought one bottle, later still needs improvement.
The dark high wall came face-on, everything it touched was swallowed and broken, seeing this, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared in place, using Shadow Dragon Flash to reach where the dark high wall had passed, but the Abyssal Incarnation here, as if foreknowing, the heavy black blade suddenly attacked.
Clang!
Successfully perfectly blocked, but Su Xiao's Abyssal Erosion Degree bar suddenly increased a notch, the black insects hanging from the opposing Abyssal Incarnation's arm let out roars, spreading black air waves, within this range, his Abyssal Erosion Degree suddenly surged, immediately maxed, fate core instantly shattered one.
This sight did not satisfy the Abyssal Incarnation, but rather it doubted again, just after the human race received this erosion outbreak, why was it only a slight collapse in life fluctuation? Even if the former Abyssal Shadow opponent, after receiving such injury, would also spray black dark blood all over the body.
Ding, ding!
Su Xiao not only had no major hindrance, but instead consecutively two blades consecutive slashes, the Abyssal Incarnation retreated several steps consecutively, its expression trembling, it finally could not hold back, split open its mouth full of fangs, laughed, laughed so dark and mad.
With a whoosh, the Abyssal Incarnation dragged out a black afterimage, suddenly arrived before Su Xiao, the black blade in hand consecutively slashed.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang……
The continuous slashes that made the entire Eternal Light World begin to tremble, were merely the Abyssal Incarnation's probe, this mad dog blade method can be said to be power one slash heavier than the last, moreover each slash down, even if blocked, the corresponding Abyssal Erosion will not weaken in the slightest, but continues to surge.
In the continuous slashes, a mass of darkness suddenly appeared in the Abyssal Incarnation's hand, this seemingly insignificant attack, actually condensed the limit of Abyssal darkness, power great enough to easily pierce space with a swing, fist-sized dark ball already arrived before Su Xiao's face.
'Extreme Blade·All Me.'
Su Xiao's long blade hummed, and suddenly he and the Abyssal Incarnation swapped positions; the condensed darkness exploded with a boom, striking the Abyssal Incarnation's skull, and with a bang its head was blown apart, its body leaning backward.
The moment the Abyssal Incarnation's shattered skull reassembled, its two left hands supported, black thunder fell, a black thunder pillar with diameter up to thousands of kilometers boomed down, the Abyssal Incarnation itself was also electrified making its body tremble, its method of controlling thunder is simple and brutal, as long as it can withstand the Abyss Thunder and recover faster than the enemy, then……
The Abyssal Incarnation's eyes widened a bit, because the opposing enemy merely had a slight body tremor, then just withstood it?
Sizzle~
The long blade and black blade simultaneously plundered the surrounding spreading Abyss Thunder, when the Abyss Thunder respectively attached to the long blade and black blade, both sides seemed to silently fall silent.
Crack!
The long blade and black blade clashed, Abyss Thunder mutually devoured, the Abyssal Incarnation roared loudly, darkness suddenly overwhelmed blood energy, but in the next instant, the Abyssal Incarnation felt a lightness in hand, the black blade sliced through the figure ahead, this is a figure turned into black-blue smoke.
'Spirit.'
At the moment this thought appeared, the Abyssal Incarnation's long blade in hand was already blocked behind.
'Extreme Blade·Pierce Star.'
Clang!!
The long blade pierced the black blade, the enormous thrusting power let the four faces on the Abyssal Incarnation's chest all show pain, but the Abyssal Incarnation laughed even more wildly and happily.
The Abyssal Incarnation suddenly had a doppelgänger… no, this is itself, only its other self entirely pale, its black left arm raised, and the white self's right palm clashed.
Black and white, light and dark, Abyss and Element, such sudden violent contact, immediately triggered a devouring reaction.
Boom!
Su Xiao leapt backward, his long blade pointed at the Abyssal Incarnation.
'Extreme Blade·Only Me.'
Devouring power instantly enveloped him, and when this power receded, Su Xiao's body had crystal-like ash drifting, he instantly disappeared, using Shadow Dragon Flash to arrive before the Abyssal Incarnation, and slashed down with one blade.
No mistake, one bullet, one chamber, one inner, one contain, one in, one one look!
With a bang, even though the black blade blocked the long sword, the Abyssal Incarnation's entire body still erupted with a fierce annihilating reaction, leaving its body tattered.
The Abyssal Incarnation's vertical pupils narrowed; it had never seen such a technique before—using the blade in hand to temporarily store the attack it received, delaying its explosion, then, before it truly detonated, slashing the stored attack toward the enemy.
The intense annihilating reaction caused the Abyssal Incarnation to stagger back two steps; its gaze showed a hint of hesitation as it weighed something, when suddenly, a foot kicked straight toward it.
The Abyssal Incarnation's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of rice grains; it prepared to shed its shell and flee, but then realized its existence had been firmly locked in place by this shocking attack—it could not dodge...
The Abyssal Incarnation's entire body was clad in battle armor, this being the Warm Nest nurtured for it as an elder brother, though it rarely used it, but this time, the Warm Nest's black armor was deployed.
Boom—!!!
After the tremendous roar, the Abyssal Incarnation instantly turned into a beam of light, and the Eternal Light World where the two fought seemed to let out a mournful cry as well.
Moments later, the Abyssal Incarnation slammed into the chaotic boundary wall behind it—a sight unique to world collapse. After landing, it calmly rose, its gaze sweeping the surroundings, confirming nothing had witnessed it.
With a wow, the Abyssal Incarnation spat out an astonishing amount of blood; this one had gone a bit mad, yet still cared deeply about face, and after a few mouthfuls of black blood, it stood in a large pool of blood.
The corner of the Abyssal Incarnation's eye seemed to twitch; after taking that kick, it was certain this was no special ability, just a straight kick from the flesh, but the power of that kick was... utterly absurd.
Ahead, a Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array appeared; after a thunderous boom, Su Xiao appeared.
Seeing this blood-qi-filled Law-Extinguisher, the Abyssal Incarnation spoke in the Star Realm Language of the Primordial Era:
"Sorry."
The Abyssal Incarnation meant that it had not shown enough respect in this death match, actually holding back.
After speaking, the Abyssal Incarnation's left hand turned into a claw, tearing apart the four faces on its chest, causing its aura to surge greatly again—this was because it had descended in person, not relying on the bodies provided by the Five Clan Chiefs; its true self had arrived.
The Abyssal Incarnation's appearance changed little, but in perception it was utterly different; at that moment, countless dark tendrils spread from behind—it was the Dark Warm Nest, seeking to drag the Abyssal Incarnation back to the Abyss to slumber, interrupting this battle.
The Abyssal Incarnation's left hand became a blade; with a single swing, all the dark tendrils entwining it were severed, along with the causal ties binding it to the Warm Nest from birth to now— the cost was unimaginable, yet at this moment, the Abyssal Incarnation chose to stake everything in this battle against an enemy it had never met but wished to fight to the death.
And if it lost this battle, it would truly die, but having severed causality, the destruction of causality would not spread to the Warm Nest.
The Abyssal Incarnation let out a roar as it surged forward; due to the突击 speed being too fast, space shattered along the way, and when it reached Su Xiao, everything around slowed, the black blade slashing toward Su Xiao's throat.
With a click, Su Xiao's crystalline left hand gripped the black blade slicing in from the side, using his hand as a blade to "perfectly parry" the enemy's attack.
With a bang, the foot's penetrating force kicked straight; the Abyssal Incarnation dropped to one knee, the long sword came down violently, and the Abyssal Incarnation's pupils shifted from vertical to cross-shaped in an instant.
Clang!
The long sword swept past, the Abyssal Incarnation's head flew up, but in the next instant, darkness twisted this fact, transferring the causality of its beheading to an unknown location.
The Abyssal Incarnation's two left arms rose, above which hung tassel-like Abyssal Black Worms, emitting a Abyssal Roar disproportionate to their size.
"Roar!!"
The dense roars sent layers of black air waves spreading; Su Xiao's entire body went numb, his Abyssal Corrosion immediately maxed out, and not only that—after shattering a Life Core, while within the roar zone, his Abyssal Corrosion maxed again, and another Life Core shattered.
Undoubtedly, the Abyssal Incarnation is the peak of the Abyssal Camp below the Supreme Realm, and not on the same level as other peak tiers—otherwise the Five Clan Chiefs would not have paid such a price to let it descend.
"Extreme Blade · Heavy Moon."
The black moon caused the gravity slash to descend, slamming the Abyssal Incarnation's shoulders downward, though at this moment its cross-shaped pupils had already recovered, letting Su Xiao confirm one thing: the Abyssal Incarnation with cross-shaped pupils can transfer attacks on the causal level.
Su Xiao fears no attack exemption, for as long as attack power is sufficient, it will eventually be pierced through; transferring attacks is different, as one cannot tell how many transferable anchor points the opponent has.
"Dark Descent."
Behind the Abyssal Incarnation, dark great serpents burst forth, it raised its head and roared, and Su Xiao instantly vanished from his spot.
Boom boom boom boom...
Wave after wave of dark impacts fell; if hit, one would not know how much corrosion would accumulate.
"Extreme Blade · Azure Demon."
From kilometers away, Su Xiao slashed with a sword; facing him, the Abyssal Incarnation cautiously shifted its pupils toward cross-shaped.
Clang!
The Abyssal Incarnation's head flew up, its facial expression clearly saying this slash was... too fast.
The Abyssal Incarnation's new head grew, but the shattered Life Cores could not recover, making it feel for the first time what its past opponents had felt—when the Abyssal Blade slashed down, the enemy's Life Cores shattered in succession, leaving them stunned.
But this time, facing an enemy whose dark roars could be hard-resisted—even the former Abyssal Shadow could not resist them this strongly.
Clang!
The long sword came down with force; as the Abyssal Incarnation bowed from the immense force, it suddenly noticed the red glint in the human opponent's eyes growing more pronounced— that hard-to-find rival's gaze, now finally met, was so familiar.
The Abyssal Incarnation's power erupted, slashing back the strong foe; it suddenly tilted its head back and roared, one hand plunged into its chest, gripping a Dark Demon Heart, crushing it and letting dark blood drip onto the Black Blade · Sinful Bone, with a whoosh, black flames rose.
The Abyssal Incarnation's body swelled by a notch; it ferociously advanced, this Mad Dog Sword Style truly pushing power and speed to the limit, even giving the sensation that its upper body had split into many copies in place.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
The long sword blocked repeatedly; Su Xiao blocked while retreating, the surrounding world kept shattering, the ground beneath his feet emitting low, strained, almost mournful thuds.
The more he blocked the Mad Dog Sword Style, the redder Su Xiao's long sword became; by the end, even the Abyssal Incarnation as the attacker began to feel alarm, forcing itself to break free from the Mad Dog Sword Style's combo—even if the style let the enemy continuously suffer Abyssal erosion and Life Cores shatter in succession, this enemy's Life Cores... were just too many.
"Extreme Blade · Gathering Return."
The crimson long sword slashed down; before the blade arrived, wind pressure came first, causing the Abyssal Incarnation's sash-like cloak to flutter loudly, its pupils turning cross-shaped.
After a boom, the slash that split this world struck the distant chaotic high wall, making the world violently tremble.
The Abyssal Incarnation's pupils spread and recovered; just then, it suddenly felt an extreme life-or-death crisis—unfortunately, the "Dark Pupil" had just been used, and logically could not be used consecutively, but the Abyssal Incarnation, drawing on its absurdly rich ancient battle experience, made a decision.
Crack—
A faint crisp sound came from the Abyssal Incarnation's left eye, almost simultaneously.
"Ultimate Boundary · Star Realm."
With a thud, centered on Su Xiao, everything within a 50,000-meter radius came to a standstill.
The long sword swept past the Abyssal Incarnation's head, eyes, then neck and torso; Su Xiao's blade left afterimages, for a moment his right arm and sword seemed to vanish, leaving only traces slicing through the Abyssal Incarnation.
Blade after blade swept past; six seconds later, "Stasis of the Star Realm" faded, and the Abyssal Incarnation turned into flying black blood—though only a few seconds, under Su Xiao's ultimate slash speed, not a single part of its body remained intact.
With a click, as if some causality had been twisted, the Abyssal Incarnation reassembled, while its left eye shattered like porcelain—this top-tier survival ability of the Abyssal System was thus destroyed, not because the Abyssal Incarnation lost it, but because during the Star Realm Stasis, it endured an attack of extreme limits, shattering the ability itself, causing it to vanish from then on.
Su Xiao's sword in hand turned black-blue, carrying the Absolute Extinction Shadow of the Azure Shadow King, and slashed down.
Clang!
The Abyssal Incarnation successfully blocked this strike, but the power of "Extinction Shadow" shot out from the greatsword, like crystal fragments piercing the Abyssal Incarnation's body, causing terrifying true damage that erupted instantly within it, leaving its body torn and ragged.
"Skill Effect (State 2·Extinction Shadow·Active): Immediately consume 2000 points of 'Azure Shadow King Energy'; the next attack deals 'True Damage' equal to 150% of the enemy's lost bodily energy."
The Abyssal Incarnation retreated repeatedly, spitting out a large mouthful of black blood along the way, but its single eye shone bright, with a pupil light never seen before.
"Darkness·Incarnation!!"
The Abyssal Incarnation's black blade, Sinful Bone, rose with intense darkness in its hand, its aura grew stronger, and the outcome hinged on this strike.
The Abyssal Incarnation stepped forward and charged, with a boom, the world along its path violently collapsed, greatly accelerating the collapse speed of this realm; in an instant it reached before Su Xiao, and what greeted it was.
"Ultimate Blade·Extinction Shadow."
Su Xiao's raised greatsword again surged with black-blue smoke; though the Abyssal Incarnation felt using such power twice in a row was absurd, considering the enemy's strength, it seemed reasonable.
The greatsword and black blade clashed, darkness and blood energy each occupying a side; the Abyssal Incarnation let out a mad roar, and the Abyss suddenly overwhelmed the blood energy.
Clang!
The dark slash swept past, a crystal arm flew up, Su Xiao retreated several steps, and blood dripped from his chin.
The Abyssal Incarnation stood in a pool of blood formed from black blood, dragging its black blade as it ferociously charged forward, unleashing the opening move of the Mad Dog Blade Style, and what greeted it was:
"Ultimate Blade·Extinction Shadow."
Black-blue smoke rose on Su Xiao's raised greatsword as he brought it down in a slash.
Boom!!
The force of the slash spread in layers, the massive blood beast formed from blood energy roared to the sky, the surrounding darkness rapidly vanished, and when all fell silent, only one arm remained; the Abyssal Incarnation's body was torn and ragged, its right pupil shattered, it knelt on one knee, propping itself up with its black blade with its lone arm, while the splattered black blood around them stained a radius of several kilometers, appearing magnificent from above.
The tip of a longsword pointed at the Abyssal Incarnation's brow; its pupil twitched slightly—this ability could be used twice in a row, which it could barely comprehend, but three times...
Vivid red blood trailed down the blade's tip—yes, it was Su Xiao's blood; using "Extinction Shadow" three times placed a great burden on the body, yet he could wield the "Azure Shadow King" thus due to two factors: originally, this ability's power was determined by consuming all current "Azure Shadow King Energy," but once his "Azure Shadow King Ability" exceeded 2000 points, things began to go awry.
The ultimate power of this ability is thus, and currently, his bodily energy cap stands at 78,420 points of "Azure Shadow King Energy."
Yet bodily strain remains an issue; however, once his supreme stamina reaches 46 points, events begin to develop in an increasingly absurd direction— theoretically, after using "Azure Steel Shadow" to empty the enemy's bodily energy, following with a strike of "Azure Shadow King·Extinction Shadow" would be perfect; but what about two strikes? Hmm, utterly perfect. Three strikes of "Extinction Shadow"? The predecessors of the Extinction Law say: don't ask us, this involves a blind spot in knowledge.
The Abyssal Incarnation's teeth clenched with a clicking sound; it was not yet dead, so it would continue fighting, even if its body had largely lost sensation; but the next moment, the enemy across from it raised its greatsword again, where a unique golden light of technique flared—immense, unmatched in might and composure.
At this moment, the Abyssal Incarnation's eyes held not despair, but a smile; it knew the enemy across from it, like itself, would unleash their strongest strike to end this battle—even if the foe was stronger, it showed no arrogance in holding back; this is the utmost respect for a strong foe in a death match.
"Realm of Selflessness·Bai Ye."
As the greatsword descended, the Abyssal Incarnation drew its blade to meet it, and golden light enveloped it.
Clang!
The slash, traced by golden technique energy, in this apocalyptic painting rendered by the collapsing world, drew a stroke of splattered Abyssal blood.
Far off, a hunchbacked old man sketched the final stroke on his drawing board—this was Su Xiao's slash that felled the Abyssal Incarnation; naturally, this is the ancient existent painter.
The greatsword cut through the Abyssal Incarnation's chest, causing the world to tremble slightly; the vast collapse vortex in the heavens was shaken apart; moments later, the upper half of the shattered black blade, Sinful Bone, flipped several times in midair before clattering down to the ground.
Standing in place, the Abyssal Incarnation lifted its gaze to the collapse vortex above, having died in a death match against this strong foe, without regret or resentment, and without any excuse that if this were the Abyss it would surely win; in this death duel, it lost, heart and mind convinced.
With a thud, the Abyssal Incarnation began to fall as dark embers, scattering; as it fell, five sounds—either beast roars or sharp howls, or perhaps gloomy hisses—faintly transmitted, then gradually faded, representing that the karmic ties of the five clan chiefs had all been shattered.
Su Xiao flung the crimson blood from his flying knife, and sheathed his greatsword.
The Abyssal Incarnation, slain.
