Chapter 4202: Rest Application

Su Xiao took out the Luen family's "Primordial Clan Emblem" from the team's storage space and attached the piece he had previously obtained; it fit perfectly, suggesting that during this Abyss Campaign, the Luen clan chief had already considered using a nearly complete "Primordial Clan Emblem" as a medium to gather other clan chiefs' power and awaken the Abyss Incarnation.

Compared to the Fish Clan Chief and the Collective Leader, the Luen Clan Chief is very loyal to the current Lord of the Abyss.

Su Xiao observed the Luen family's "Primordial Clan Emblem" for a moment and found nothing special about it, except that it was much taller than the Dukain family's "Primordial Clan Emblem" and felt several levels stronger in power; seeing this, he checked the attributes of the "Dawnlight Ring Band."

【Dawnlight Ring Band】

Origin: Dawnlight Paradise.

Quality: Dawnlight-grade · Third Rank.

Note: Due to severe damage, some properties were lost after repair, and the ranking has decreased accordingly.

Type: Ring.

Durability: 280/280 points (due to prior severe damage, durability has been greatly reduced).

Equipment Requirement: None.

Equipment Effect 1: Ring Band Anchor (Passive), you can use this effect to select the equipment currently worn by you, and you may select up to five pieces of equipment in total.

Equipment Effect 2: Flawless Ring (Core · Passive), based on the strength (anchor score) of the five selected pieces of equipment, this determines the enhancement effect this equipment provides; you may choose one trait from the following three for this equipment, and once this choice is made, you cannot change it in any way, even if you lose and later regain this equipment.

1. Strength.

2. Plunder.

3. Awaken.

Score: 30000+ (Dawnlight-grade weapon scores range from 15000 to 30000 points).

Introduction: Coordination is strength, strength nurtures miracles, miracles condense into sweet fruit.

Price: This equipment has no publicly verified price; although causal adaptation is required before use, it can be freely traded.

……

The first selectable trait of the 【Dawnlight Ring Band】 is easy to understand: it enhances your combat power based on the total strength of the five selected pieces of equipment, determining the magnitude of the increase.

What is truly interesting are the "Plunder" and "Awaken" traits; the Plunder trait allows you to target any living being and permanently steal 50% of their fortune, successfully provoking that target, and if you kill this target afterward, you then steal their remaining fortune.

Su Xiao has no interest in this; his fortune is already -20,000,000 points, and setting aside how much could be gained after plundering, if the increase were based on his own fortune, gaining 100,000 points would make his fortune -20,100,000, so he shifted his gaze to "Awaken."

The "Awaken" trait is more wondrous: based on current behavior, it can awaken a tangible entity within this range, maintaining its existence by consuming spacetime power; this entity cannot be negotiated with, only accepts certain information, and belongs to a special existence that, aside from retaining its most skilled ability, will not perform any meaningless actions—this is the "Master Manifestation."

As a simple analogy, if the wearer of the 【Dawnlight Ring Band】 is about to perform gem appraisal, then the "Master Manifestation" formed at this moment will certainly be within this skill's range; what level of "Master Manifestation" can be awakened still depends on the anchor score brought by the five pieces of equipment selected via "Ring Band Anchor."

However, there is one point: the "Master Manifestation" possesses no combat capability, not even auxiliary combat capability; Su Xiao does not care about this, nor does he need equipment that provides such combat benefits.

After weighing the options, Su Xiao suddenly had a particularly bold idea: after all, these are among the strongest pieces of equipment in Dawnlight Paradise; using them conventionally, their strength would surely not live up to their name—let alone ranking in the top three within a Dawnlight Paradise faction, possibly not even making the top thirty.

Su Xiao immediately chose the "Awaken" trait, and prompts appeared one after another.

【You need to anchor five pieces of currently worn equipment as the anchor points for the "Dawnlight Ring Band," serving as this equipment's power source; the equipment anchored by the "Dawnlight Ring Band" will, aside from providing "anchor points," retain their original enhancement traits unaffected.】

Su Xiao opened his equipment list; his current equipment status is as follows:

Dragon-Slaying Flash +18 (Reincarnation-grade · Second Rank) · Main Weapon

Origin Stone · World (Strongest Origin Stone) · Origin Stone.

Seal Demon (Overlord-grade · 128-bit · Growing) · Sword Sheath.

World-Ending Absolute Blade (Overlord-grade · Eighth Rank) · Pendant.

Soul · Wang Zhi's Coronation (Reincarnation-grade) · Arm Guard.

Mad Hunt Night (Severely Damaged State) · Main Armor.

Arrogant Indulgence Wild Song (World-rank · 25th) · Ring.

Dawnlight Ring Band (Dawnlight-grade · Third Rank) · Ring (Engraving Permit · Dual Finger).

Iron-Blood Dark Wolf (Overlord-grade · Fourth Rank) · War Boots.

Fate Reversal (Reincarnation-grade) · Fate Curio.

Full Moon Blade (Overlord-grade · 98th Rank) · Secondary Position Equipment.

Bestowal Oath · Oath Object.

……

Su Xiao first selected "Origin Stone · World" and "Dragon-Slaying Flash" as anchor points; as soon as he made this choice, the "Dawnlight Ring Band" on his hand glowed faintly, and then he designated "Iron-Blood Dark Wolf," "Fate Reversal," and "Soul · Wang Zhi's Coronation" as anchor points.

The "Dawnlight Ring Band" in his hand emitted a humming sound, appearing as if it might shatter again—after all, it had just been repaired; even though its strength is high, equipment strength and sturdiness are not equivalent.

Shortly after, the "Dawnlight Ring Band" returned to normal; after all, it is a Dawnlight-grade Third Rank item, and although Dawnlight Paradise has only recently recovered, the value of Third Rank remains by no means low.

【Dawnlight Ring Band】

Equipment Requirement: None.

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

Equipment Effect 2: Flawless Ring (Core · Active), based on the user's current action, summon a "Master Manifestation" corresponding to the current action; according to the anchor score's enhancement, this "Master Manifestation" will certainly be the absolute strongest in its field.

Note: The "Master Manifestation" has no direct combat capability, nor auxiliary combat capability, nor even indirect participation in combat.

Note: The cooldown of the Flawless Ring will be determined by measuring the "action causality" of the last performed action.

……

Seeing this equipment's attributes, Su Xiao suddenly had a very peculiar idea; he sat on the metal bench beside the towering insect nest, and not long after, Moré, the Moon Apostle, and the Heroic Sister arrived; one could see that all three looked somewhat disheveled, obviously having participated in the defense; although Moré had become somewhat silly, she was not cowardly or timid, and in the past she too had been combat-oriented.

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

【Due to the "Hit List · Blood Oath" multiple bounty + bounty correction, you will receive a bounty worth 8,000,000 ounces of spacetime power.】

【Before completing this bounty, you applied in advance to the Reincarnation Paradise for relevant authorization, sacrificing random income as the cost to obtain full "Spacetime Stone Fragment" earnings.】

【Upon verification, this bounty is found to be highly related to this Abyss Campaign and has sufficient influence on our side's victory; thus, this authorization application has been approved.】

You have obtained Spacetime Stone Fragments × 800,000 pieces (this is an equivalent item, which can be sold at any time to the Reincarnation Paradise for 8,000,000 ounces of Spacetime Power).

【Therefore, the assassination bounty completed on the Wind Sea Continent, this bounty payment will be made by the Enlightenment Paradise.】

……

After Su Xiao submitted the bounty mission on his end, Mo Lei, the Moon Envoy, and Hao Mei also received similar prompts, except their earnings were only 45%, meaning each received 3.6 million ounces, for a total of 10.8 million ounces.

Su Xiao took 90%, which is 9.72 million ounces; he kept 7.56 million ounces for himself, sent 2.16 million ounces to Caesar, and the Three Sisters of Tianqi each received 360,000 ounces.

After receiving this huge sum, the Three Sisters of Tianqi were a bit dazed; Mo Lei and Hao Mei simultaneously pinched both sides of the Moon Envoy's face from left and right, as the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite; the Moon Envoy got angry and fumed for a while.

It can be said that when danger arises, the two troublemakers are her reliance; before the two troublemakers die, they will not let her die first, but when there is no danger, all danger comes from these two guys.

At this moment, the Three Sisters of Tianqi suddenly received a prompt.

【Prompt (Void Tree): Your strongest reinforcement squad has applied for a rest period for you; you may return to your affiliated paradise (Tianqi Paradise) to rest for 24 hours.】

【Determining the contribution of the Dawn Breaker Squad in the Wind Sea War Zone……】

【Determination passed; both the Void Tree and Tianqi Paradise have approved this rest application.】

……

Seeing this prompt, the Three Sisters of Tianqi were overjoyed beyond words; after the Abyssal War began, all paradise factions were granted the highest permission for spacetime power, so regardless of contract tier, they could directly exchange spacetime power for free attribute points / real free attribute points in their respective paradise faction's merit shop, or for skill upgrade warehouse usage permissions, and various other self-enhancement permission resources.

Now being able to return means a qualitative leap in strength; afterward, the probability of survival will increase significantly.

At this moment, even the most mischievous Mo Lei spoke solemnly: "Thank, thank you, Bai Ye."

"No need."

Su Xiao spoke in his usual tone, which made Mo Lei relax her guard; she laughed brightly and scratched her head, saying: "If you need any help in the future, just say the word."

"Oh? Really?"

Su Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of something unusual, which made Mo Lei, whose heart had just been filled with emotion, gratitude, and feeling indebted, almost instinctively choke up.

"Really, really."

At this moment, Mo Lei's mind was filled with: Oh no, although I don't know what I'll face next, it will definitely be astonishing, and since I just lay back and gained so many benefits, I definitely can't be timid, otherwise I'd be ungrateful, and even I would look down on myself.

"……"

Su Xiao said nothing, merely activating the transmission permission to return to the Reincarnation Paradise; he now has 16.504 million ounces of spacetime power in hand, and of course he must return to enhance himself; besides, there are also the kill rewards from the battle in the Eternal Light World, and this time's kill rewards are quite unique.

【You have slain the Patriarch of the Azhuguk Clan, Emu Kansha.】

【You obtained the Abyssal Chest (★★★★★★)……

【Prompt: This is the notarized derivative kill reward of the Abyssal War; under normal circumstances, the Abyssal Chest is ★~★★★★★.】

……

This is not hard to understand: the Abyssal Chest had its star limit temporarily raised; in other words, the six-star "Abyssal Chest" can only be obtained during the Abyssal War.

Holding five 【Abyssal Chests (★★★★★★)】, Su Xiao frowned slightly, especially the one representing the Patriarch of the Fish Clan, Emu Kansha; the Fish Clan and the "Deep Sea Urn" are closely related, and previously, the holder of the "Deep Sea Urn" was precisely the Fish Clan.

Last time, slaying the Spider Lady let Su Xiao temporarily hold the "Deep Sea Urn"; originally, the "Deep Sea Urn" was still planning to devour Su Xiao's karmic fate, but after their initial clash, they decided to pretend they had never seen each other; however, roughly where the "Deep Sea Urn" went can still be guessed.

While Su Xiao was weighing his options, the sound of "crack, crack" entered his ears; he sent Amu to let the Amu behind him go eat on the side, not to interrupt his thinking; Amu happily went to the side.

But if he doesn't open the Fish Patriarch's Abyssal Chest, let alone saying this is the only six-star "Abyssal Chest" obtainable "during this campaign," the subsequent acquisition of such an extreme limit, when opened, always brings concerns; then it might as well be a bold move, for he now not only possesses the "Book of Original Sin," his fortune is vast, and he is still of the Extreme Boundary System, possessing a powerful physique……

Crack, crack～

Amu's crisp sound, like eating wafers, came again; Su Xiao began to weigh, given his current physique, no—this time returning to rest will definitely exceed 50 points, possibly even break 60 points; thinking this way, even if he seals the ninth Original Sin item, he can still withstand it; don't forget, the "Book of Original Sin" just received a massive boost, absorbing a heart from the "Ancient One."

Hmm, this is feasible, then……

Crack, crack～

Su Xiao turned his head to look at Amu, only to see Amu's mouth stuffed full, gnawing on the "Origin Clan Emblem" of the Lun clan while holding it.

Su Xiao did not stop him; this was originally meant for Amu to eat; after learning Amu could eat the "Origin Clan Emblem," he brought it back from the Eternal Light World; otherwise, he would have destroyed it long ago.

Besides the gains of the five clan patriarchs, there are also the kill rewards from slaying the Abyssal Incarnation, as follows:

【You have slain the Abyssal Incarnation.】

【You obtained the Abyssal Chest (★★★★★★★★★).】

……

Su Xiao never thought he could obtain a nine-star "Abyssal Chest"; the absurdity of this item is comparable to……

Crack, crack～

Moreover, one must open the clan patriarch's chest first, then this one; if a Patriarch-level Original Sin item emerges from this nine-star Abyssal Chest, that would be a bloody loss.

Having thought this far, crack, crack～

Su Xiao applied for transmission permission.

Behind him, crack, crack～

The Bahu guarding here immediately raised his head without laughing, and Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang also raised his head.

Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room in the Reincarnation Paradise amidst the crack, crack chewing sounds.

Just after returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao looked at Amu, who had just opened his mouth to gnaw; Amu shrank his head, ran to the planting area, and soon after, the sound of crisp, refreshing chewing came from there; moments later, Amu in the planting area somewhat wanted to come back.

"You eat it yourself."

"Moo!"

Amu, a bit dazed and happy; this gluttonous cow, although a big eater, will definitely come to share good food with Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Bahu, and Beni; being able to eat does not mean Amu is greedy and possessive of food; of course, if a stranger dares to try to take Amu's food, that would be a dark battle axe to the head.

Su Xiao came to the room housing the "Awakening Stele," sat cross-legged before it, took out the 345 "Soul Energy Crystals" he had accumulated this time, opened the skill list, and first upgraded the "Spirit Awakening" ability; the strength of the spirit determines the killing power of the Demon Blade; in subsequent battles against the Abyssal Lord, being able to slay enemies with core strength below one-fourth of the "Demon Blade Slaying" is absolutely paramount.

"Spirit Awakening" requires 3 "Soul Energy Crystals" per upgrade; Su Xiao first tried upgrading it by level 1, which caused the spirits within the Dragon Flash to appear.

Moments later, the spirits beside him seemed to have strengthened somewhat; Su Xiao checked the "Spirit Awakening" ability.

【Spirit Awakening, Lv. EX.】

Skill Effect 1: Blade Spirit Strength +5000 points.

Skill Effect 2: Substitution (Passive)……

Skill Effect 3: Fate Tearing (Passive)……

……

Each level increase adds 500 points of spirit strength; given Su Xiao's current 9900 points of soul strength, he can suppress spirits below 49000 points; to be safe, below 45000 points is definitely suppressible.

Su Xiao did not directly upgrade the "Demon Spirit Awakening" ability; instead, he first upgraded the following abilities:

1. Upgrade Green Shadow King to level 5, bringing Green Shadow King to its limit, consuming a total of 50 "Soul Energy Crystals".

2. Upgrade Supreme Blade to level 3, bringing Supreme Blade to its limit, consuming a total of 6 "Soul Energy Crystals".

3. Upgrade Adaptive Power to level 4, bringing Adaptive Power to its limit, consuming a total of 8 "Soul Energy Crystals".

4. Upgrade Combat Prosthetic to level 6, bringing Combat Prosthetic to its limit, consuming a total of 12 "Soul Energy Crystals".

5. Upgrade Devouring Core to level 8, bringing Devouring Core to its limit, consuming a total of 24 "Soul Energy Crystals".

No mistakes, no omissions, one line, one paragraph, one content, one existence, one in one look!

6. Upgrade Absolute Demon Physique to level 1, bringing Absolute Demon Physique to its limit, consuming a total of 2 "Soul Energy Crystals".

7. Simultaneously upgrade level 1 Demon Spirit Awakening and level 1 Demon-Eating Physique; after upgrading, the two abilities fused, consuming a total of 10 "Soul Energy Crystals".

8. Upgrade Soul-Cutting Shadow to level 3, bringing Soul-Cutting Shadow to its limit, consuming a total of 24 "Soul Energy Crystals".

……

Given Su Xiao's current physique, upgrading the already mastered extermination-law abilities naturally would not send him into dreamland, and he would not upgrade all at once; he began following the aforementioned upgrade plan, upgrading abilities one by one, with the first completed upgrade being "Green Shadow King".

【Green Shadow King: Lv. EX (Ultimate Level · Skill)】

Skill Effect (State 1 · Demon Shadow · Active): No change.

Skill Effect (State 2 · Annihilation Shadow · Active): Immediately consume 3000 points of "Green Shadow King Energy"; on the next attack, deal "True Damage" equal to 180% of the enemy's lost physical energy.

……

As long as Su Xiao's physique is strong enough, when the enemy's physical energy is completely burned by the Azure Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, thereafter they must face an extermination-law practitioner whose every strike is "Annihilation Shadow".

The upgrades of "Supreme Blade", "Devouring Core", and "Absolute Demon Physique" are all significant enhancements of their original traits, with no new traits added; while "Adaptive Power" increases "True Full Resistance" from 10% to 25%, among the series of abilities, the upgrade of "Combat Prosthetic" is somewhat unique.

【Combat Prosthetic, Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect 1: Increase Aoge State intensity by 2060% (increase 1100%), crystal composition and adhesion speed increased by 223% (increase 125%), crystal stability has reached its maximum value.

Skill Effect 2: If upper or lower limbs are missing (both arms and both legs), Aoge crystals can rapidly form combat prosthetics to replace missing limb functions; combat prosthetics can stably exist for 568,000 natural days.

Combat Prosthetic Strength: 100% Restoration (Ultimate).

Combat Prosthetic Speed: 100% Restoration (Ultimate).

Combat Prosthetic Touch: 99.99% Restoration (Ultimate).

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

……

As for "Demon Spirit Awakening" and "Demon-Eating Physique", Su Xiao no longer has use for them; in simple terms, these two abilities are:

"Demon Spirit Awakening: Fully release the demon spirit; within the next 30 seconds, can slay one-third of the health of indestructible traits · Abyss-born entities."

"Demon-Eating Physique: Seize 50% of the demon spirit energy absorbed this time, increasing 'Base Health' and 'Abyss Resistance'."

Currently, these two abilities have fused into an ability named "Shadow Bestowal".

【Shadow Bestowal, Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect: By consuming this ability, you can transform one of your currently mastered abilities into a "Extermination Law Shadow System" ability.

Hint: This transformation has a 50% success rate.

……

Seeing this passive, Su Xiao immediately had a choice: "Perfect Parry"; he estimated that if this ability were transformed into the "Extermination Law Shadow System", the success rate should be above 80%, unlike other abilities which max out at only 50%.

"Perfect Parry" was originally an ability of the Silver. Moon Wolf System, but Su Xiao has upgraded it to an unprecedented degree; now, if successfully transformed into the extermination law system, it would mean this ability can be upgraded using "Soul Energy Crystals".

The upgrade quietly began; Su Xiao felt his full-body technique shield energy become scorching; when everything subsided, "Perfect Parry" appeared in his extermination law system's skill list.

Thus, only "Soul-Cutting Shadow" remains unupgraded; consuming 24 "Soul Energy Crystals" to upgrade "Soul-Cutting Shadow", this upgrade made Su Xiao feel very unique and smooth, and this feeling did not feel like completing the upgrade of "Soul-Cutting Shadow", but rather more derived from self-power, a more peculiar……ability awakening?

【Ultimate Shadow: Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill Effect: Based on your primary attribute strength, increase your core ability level cap, and more importantly, break through the "Absolute Limit".

Hint: This is the only ability in the current Star Realm capable of breaking through the "Skill Level Cap · Absolute Limit".

Hint: Due to "Ultimate Shadow" having an increasing limit intensity trait, when your supreme attribute exceeds 50 points, subsequent increases in supreme attribute will cause your "core ability level cap" to undergo a limit-scale increase, far exceeding the current increase ratio (only the increase in core ability level cap from supreme attribute 50~60 points can surpass the increase from 1~50 points of supreme attribute).

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

Number of times breaking the Absolute Limit: once (when Heavenly Blade Cutting Shadow's cap reaches level 200, the appearing Absolute Limit).

Current upgraded cap level: 30th level (Heavenly Blade Cutting Shadow's cap level successfully reached Lv. 205, having broken the Absolute Limit once).

Hint: The higher the cap level of Heavenly Blade Cutting Shadow, the harder subsequent upgrades become; and upon reaching cap level Lv. 200, it becomes an extremely difficult cap to break through; currently, only through the "Ultimate Shadow" ability can this cap be broken (already successfully broken); if choosing to use other abilities, or Star Realm奇物 of this trait for upgrading, your "Heavenly Blade Cutting Shadow" level cap will inevitably stall upon reaching Lv. 200, thus wasting subsequent upgrade power.

Hint: The creator of this ability is Extermination Law Shadow · Su Xiao.

……

Indeed, the "Soul-Cutting Shadow" ability has undergone a change, which involves the current "Soul Extinction" effect of "Soul-Cutting Shadow"; this effect is: whether the soul portion severed by Su Xiao is immediately destroyed, or whether it is soul destruction on a causal level.

However, previously when fighting the Abyss Incarnation, Su Xiao severed its head, and the Abyss Incarnation immediately regenerated a head; was Soul-Cutting Shadow suddenly ineffective? Actually, no; this powerful Abyss entity, the Abyss Incarnation, inherently possesses a vast "spiritual mass"; severing and destroying a part of it, though feared, does not render it unable to continue fighting afterward.

Moreover, Su Xiao has always followed the development direction of treating ordinary slashes as ultimate moves, allowing him to first sever souls, then use that as advancement, and now he can already sever causality with blade strikes; thus, the effect of "Soul-Cutting Shadow · Soul Extinction" is actually to perform causal destruction on the severed "spirit".

Su Xiao's current blade strikes already inherently carry causality-severing annihilation; of course, there is no need to voluntarily reduce dimensions, first severing the "spirit", then performing causal destruction on this part; the reason is that his current system has already reached the limit attainable by the "Soul-Cutting Shadow" ability; wanting to climb to the peak, of course requires continuous progress, surpassing predecessors.

The "Ultimate Shadow" that Su Xiao now masters is the path he has walked; this also means he can inscribe it on the Awakening Stele; if future extermination-law practitioners wish to walk this path, they can choose one from among Soul-Cutting Shadow, Void-Shattering Shadow, Demon-Eating Shadow, and Ultimate Shadow.

Soul-Cutting Shadow can reach and perform spirit severing, transformation, and destruction.

Void-Shattering Shadow represents the utmost in speed, sharpness, and extreme velocity.

Demon-Eating Shadow devours demon spirits, converting all means of enhancing demon spirits into self-enhancement, and is extremely difficult to completely kill them.

Ultimate Shadow, in mid-to-late stage, possesses upper-middle strength; in the super late stage, relying on powerful physique and technique, it reaches the degree where a blade in hand can sever causality.

Why do the Abyss clans fear Su Xiao so much? Because being severed by his blade, they suffer true death; they need no restraint against the Abyss clans, nor any temporarily activated ability; every strike of this extermination-law practitioner is fatal.

Ultimately, the "Origin Clan Emblem" ensures Abyss clans do not die through causal anchoring; that slash which cuts everything to pieces belongs to absolute power that destroys all frills and flourishes.

Now that the "Ultimate Shadow" ability exists, it means Su Xiao can continuously increase his supreme primary attribute to raise the cap of his "Heavenly Blade Cutting Shadow" ability, thereby allowing his technique to reach higher levels, thus converting his powerful physique into combat power to a greater extent.

Making an intuitive conversion metaphor, if the base combat power with zero upper attributes is 1 million, then the combat power amplified by the current Lv. 150 Sky Blade Shadow ability will reach an outrageously high level.

Now having "Extreme Shadow" represents Su Xiao's snowball improvement method in the super late stage, achieving a wonderful perfect cycle: no upper attribute increase brings technique ability upper limit increase, technique ability level increase brings stronger comprehensive combat power, comprehensive combat power increase equals being able to obtain more resources (spacetime power) in subsequent actions, which can then increase more upper attributes, then continuously forming a virtuous cycle snowball.

The improvement ranges of all extermination law system abilities are not small; thus, Su Xiao's subsequent use of "Soul Energy Crystals" to improve extermination law system abilities only has four types left, namely:

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

Note: After this ability completes a certain extent of super-limit upgrade, it will become a benefit-type bonus, sacrificing to increase your currently mastered "Extreme·Star Realm" ability.

2. Azure Qing Qing Gang Ying (each upgrade consumes 3 "Soul Energy Crystals").

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

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

……

Three of these four extermination law system abilities can be called "Soul Energy Crystal" bottomless pits; subsequently, it is unknown how many "Soul Energy Crystals" will need to be invested.

Su Xiao still has 203 "Soul Energy Crystals"; this回风海 battlefield must be near the insect nest to prevent Jiela from being ambushed by the "Ancient Abyss Existence," so subsequent "Soul Energy Crystal" acquisition will definitely come through magic spirits killing enemies on the battlefield; he chooses to invest all remaining "Soul Energy Crystals" into "Magic Spirit Awakening," which is not only an improvement but also an investment.

After the upgrade is complete, the "Magic Spirit Awakening" ability has reached:

【Magic Spirit Awakening, Lv. EX.】

Soul Energy Nourishment Count: 68 times.

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

Skill Effect 2: Replacement (Passive)……

Skill Effect 3: Power Bestowal (Passive), you can designate one of your current abilities to bestow a certain degree upon the magic spirit, with the bestowal ratio ranging from 45% to 80% (determined by the strength of the bestowed ability, deciding the lower~upper limit).

……

Threads of black-blue smoke seeped out from the Dragon-Slaying Flash, and after a moment, a humanoid figure formed from black-blue smoke appeared, tall and slender, with long hair flowing without wind, those azure eyes seeming somewhat dazed; even though the black-blue smoke drifted slightly, obscuring the face, from the facial contours one could absolutely see a peerless beauty—this is normal, as initially it nearly devoured the Hunter Tide, the magic spirit's envisioned image.

Su Xiao set the power bestowal trait of "Magic Spirit Awakening" on the "Sky Blade Shadow" ability; in the next second, the originally somewhat dazed magic spirit's demeanor changed noticeably, the center of those beautiful azure eyes gaining a hint of blood-red, clearly indicating the magic spirit had become much more formidable in combat.

Glancing at the rest time, Su Xiao did not directly upgrade himself; the 24-hour rest time requested by Morel and her group was nearly over, so he chose to submit an application to the Void Tree.

【Prompt (Void Tree), you have applied to go to Tianqi Paradise for subsequent rest.】

【Due to your long-term behavior, this application has been rejected by Tianqi Paradise.】

【Under judgment (Void Tree/Reincarnation Paradise).】

【Confirmed that the Hunter's current stationed battlefield is: Wind Sea Continent.】

【And you have made extremely important contributions to the Wind Sea Continent battlefield, possibly even becoming the decisive core factor.】

【Current garrison faction on Wind Sea Continent: Tianqi Paradise.】

【Based on the above factors, Void Tree and Reincarnation Paradise have reached the final judgment: your application to go to Tianqi Paradise for rest complies with dual rationality in notarization and contribution aspects, and based on this Abyss War's notarization ladder, Tianqi Paradise cannot refuse this rest request.】

【You will be transferred to Tianqi Paradise in 3 seconds.】

……

When the transfer ended, Su Xiao was already standing in Tianqi Paradise's sparsely populated trading square; not all contractors participated in the war, with more people waiting in the Paradise faction to be summoned to the Wind Sea battlefield.

Su Xiao took out the communicator, contacted Morel; after a while, Morel's drowsy voice came through: "What's wrong, Bai Ye."

"Guide me."

"Huh? Where are you, need me to guide you? I'm a bit directionally challenged, you even beat me over this."

"Tianqi Paradise."

"Huh? Bang! Oh~, so painful, Moon Rabbit, Heroic Sis, you two hurry up and open the door, Bai Ye has come to Tianqi Paradise, yes, you're not dreaming, hurry up and get up!!"

More than ten minutes later, the Tianqi Three Sisters arrived at the trading square, all three feeling very apprehensive; upon approaching, Morel swallowed her saliva, she truly could not imagine how this person entered Tianqi Paradise.

"Bai Ye, where are you going?"

"I heard that Tianqi Paradise's equipment enhancement is among the foremost of the major paradises."

"Should be, yes."

"Take me there."

"Phew~, scared me to death, turns out you're going to the Equipment Enhancement Hall, follow me."

Morel relaxed; after all, going to the Equipment Enhancement Hall is still quite safe, and there is no possibility of performing any special operations there.

When everyone entered the Equipment Enhancement Hall, Su Xiao found this place identical to Reincarnation Paradise's Equipment Enhancement Hall, except the enhancement machines were a bit taller; he came here to enhance Dragon-Slaying Flash, and regarding the required materials, the storage still had 336 "Primordial Cores," more than enough.

Su Xiao approached an enhancement machine, observed for a moment, then placed his hand on it and activated the "Dawnlight Ring" effect, intending to summon a "Master Embodiment" most skilled in equipment enhancement; if this were equipment certified by other paradise factions, Su Xiao would not attempt this, but this is equipment certified by Dawnlight Paradise and ranked third among Dawnlight-tier.

With a hum, a black "Ξ" brand representing Dawnlight Paradise appeared on the ground, and a "Master Embodiment" began to form; this figure was frail, indeed resembling a lecherous old man; when the faint light faded, Su Xiao suddenly realized this was……

The "Master Embodiment" formed with Caesar as the anchor point!

Seeing this "Master Embodiment," plus Su Xiao beside him, and this being the Equipment Enhancement Hall, the Tianqi Three Sisters were frightened, nearly bursting into tears laughing while hugging each other.

"Master Embodiment·Caesar" enhancing Dragon-Slaying Flash in Tianqi Paradise's Equipment Enhancement Hall—this combination appearing should make Dragon-Slaying Flash's enhancement level astonishing.

(End of Chapter)
