Chapter 4203

【You have returned to the Samsara Garden, and the reason for this return is that you were expelled.】

The spatial transmission ended, and Su Xiao stabilized his posture and landed. Not far away was the black maple tree. He had almost been transmitted to the top of this black maple tree. As for why this happened, it still needs to be explained from the Equipment Enhancement Hall of the Genesis Garden.

"Soul Embodiment · Caesar" had no reservations whatsoever, and as the one who summoned it, Su Xiao faced no restrictions in the Genesis Garden, after all, he is a contractor of the Samsara Garden.

Then comes the "eye-opening" enhancement method. The final result obtained was Dragon-Slaying Flash +21. This is not the limit of "Soul Embodiment · Caesar," nor is it due to insufficient authorization from Su Xiao. It is because after the successful enhancement to +21, Su Xiao was forcibly expelled by the Genesis Garden.

Arriving at the room where the Awakening Monument is placed, Su Xiao entered the "Attribute Enhancement Chamber," activated it, and before enhancing the supreme attribute, he first completed the accumulated "Abyss Mission · Death's Bestowal."

Previously, under the siege of the Abyss Legion, he fought for four days, allowing the "Abyss Mission · Guardian" to reach full completion. This mission accumulates completion by killing Abyss-type enemies, but the accumulation is very slow.

And before clashing with the five clan chiefs, Su Xiao had already completed the "Abyss Mission · Guardian" and immediately accepted the "Abyss Mission · Death's Bestowal."

Although the Abyss Incarnation is neither an Abyss spawn nor an Abyss descendant, it is a higher existence. Moreover, by slaying it, it is equivalent to killing the chiefs of the five major clans, causing the completion rate of "Abyss Mission · Death's Bestowal" to immediately jump to 800%.

Checking the gains from the previous "Abyss Mission · Guardian," as well as the just-completed "Abyss Mission · Death Bestowal," after selling the "Elemental Secret Treasure" and "Abyss Secret Treasure," a total of 4,370,000 ounces of spacetime power was obtained. In addition:

【You have obtained the Void Tree Vault Application Permit V (50% off)】

【You have obtained the Void Tree Vault Application Permit VII (30% off)】

……

At first glance, spacetime power seems to come quickly, but when Su Xiao activated the Attribute Enhancement Chamber, enhancing the supreme attribute at 300,000 ounces of spacetime power per point, the spacetime power just obtained was quickly consumed in large amounts. His attribute allocation this time was:

Strength +5, Agility +5, Stamina +4, Intelligence +5 points, totaling 19 points of supreme attribute enhancement, with 5,700,000 ounces of spacetime power deducted.

The enhancement began. The sensation of enhancing the supreme attribute was very good—a sense of strength nourished and grew within his body. Unfortunately, this sensation did not last long before gradually fading. Upon completion of this enhancement, his four main attributes all reached 50 points. He attempted to continue enhancing:

【Since your supreme main attributes have all reached 50 points, each subsequent point of supreme attribute enhancement will consume more "Star-Origin Power." After comprehensive evaluation, each subsequent 1-point enhancement of supreme attribute requires consuming 688,524 ounces of spacetime power.】

【Since you have obtained the relevant permits, the Samsara Garden will bear a portion of the resource consumption for you.】

【Evaluation complete. For each subsequent point of "Supreme Free Attribute Point" formed, you need to pay 500,000 ounces of spacetime power.】

【After verifying that you are currently in the Abyss Campaign stage, based on your current Hunter's Mark level, using the Skill Enhancement Chamber and Attribute Enhancement Chamber in the Samsara Garden will grant you "substantial" reductions provided by the Void Tree / Samsara Garden. Final evaluation complete. For each subsequent point of "Supreme Free Attribute Point" formed, you need to pay 350,000 ounces of spacetime power.】

……

【Prompt: All your supreme main attributes have reached 50 points. You may choose one enhancement from the following "Supreme Rank · Ultimate Passive/Active" options to improve yourself.】

【Since among the following enhancements, one provides a substantial boost to your Life Core ability, you must complete this choice within 2 minutes. During this period, please do not enhance your supreme stamina attribute, as this will alter the enhancement scope of this ability, potentially reducing its effectiveness or even causing specialization.】

1. Supreme Condensation of True Power (Passive): Gather all current blade attack characteristics, condense into "Supreme True Power," converting 75% of your blade attack damage total into "True Damage"!

2. Glory of Humanity (Passive): Immediately increase your current Life Core by 20%, True Resistance +50 points, Extreme Body Defense Rank +20.

3. Heart of the Star Realm Sovereign (Active): As you, so powerful in the Extreme Realm as to be nearly unmatched, yet still maintaining your human identity, this allows your single heart to reach nourishment by "Supreme Power," possessing exceptionally vibrant source-life vitality. When you suffer severe injury, you can immediately mobilize this power to restore 20% of your maximum Life Core.

Prompt: The cooldown time of this ability is extremely long, and the specific duration will be determined based on your current Life Core quantity.

4. Wisdom of the Supreme Sage (Passive): If you choose this benefit, you may select three from the above three benefits.

Pending Activation Trait · 40 Points of Supreme Main Attribute Derived Extreme Passive · Accumulation Leading to Breakthrough (Extreme Passive · Rare): Significantly enhances "Supreme Main Attribute" upon reaching 50 points, one of the "Extreme Passives" you can master.

……

Su Xiao immediately chose "Accumulation Leading to Breakthrough" to enhance "Wisdom of the Supreme Sage," then selected this "Extreme Passive." The next second, the prompt appeared.

【You have mastered the following three "Extreme Passives".】

1. Supreme Condensation of True Power (Passive): Gather all current blade attack characteristics, condense into "Supreme True Power," having already converted all damage caused by your blade attacks into "Full True Damage"!

Prompt: The soul damage, spatial property damage, blade-edge damage, etc., caused by your blade attacks have all been converted into True Damage, making blade attack damage more "refined."

Prompt: Full True Blade Damage will possess stronger causal annihilation characteristics.

Prompt: Any subsequent enhancement of your blade attack power will also immediately convert into the "True Damage" characteristic.

Prompt: True Damage possesses greater destructive power against the Life Core.

2. Glory of Humanity (Passive): Immediately increase your current Life Core by 50% (this increase can reach the maximum limit), True Resistance +150 points, Extreme Body Defense Rank +60.

3. Heart of the Star Realm Sovereign (Passive): Upon activation, immediately restore 60% of your maximum Life Core.

……

Previously anticipating that reaching 50 points in supreme attribute would bring significant enhancement, though I did not expect it to reach this extent. Other things aside, just the blade attacks becoming fully True Damage would have transformed the originally chaotic attack characteristics into a gathering and strengthening—truly refreshing and powerful.

Moreover, Su Xiao himself possesses the "Green Qing Qing Gang Ying" ability, which can cause True Damage, and the current core function of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying is to burn the enemy's bodily energy to exhaustion, to achieve the subsequent strikes of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying King.

【Verification complete: Since your supreme main attributes have all reached above 50 points, you must use the "Star of Fate" to complete your Extreme Path choice.】

Su Xiao had never heard of what the "Star of Fate" was. He contacted the Goblin Merchant Guild, and their reply was that it is a rare ancient artifact from antiquity. Currently, the Goblin Merchant Guild has not encountered one. Seeing this situation, Su Xiao took out the "Void Tree Vault Application Permit V" and used it.

【You have activated the Void Tree Vault Application Permit V. Before completing the resource application and spacetime power payment, this permit badge will not be consumed.】

【Resource application submitted. Application target: Star of Fate.】

【This item is currently located in the vault. You need to pay 820,000 ounces of spacetime power to complete this equipment exchange (since you used the "Vault Application Permit V," you actually need to pay 410,000 ounces of spacetime power).】

【You obtained the Star of Fate (Ancient Artifact): Due to the current Star Realm environment not reaching the level capable of nurturing the "Star of Fate," it requires at least the Fourth to Fifth Era periods, with a low probability of nurturing this object at the junction of Elemental and Abyss.】

……

Su Xiao looked at the wondrous object in his hand, resembling a splendid crystal core, poured his bodily energy into it, and with a hum, the "Star of Fate" burst forth with light.

【Since your supreme main attributes have all reached above 50 points, and you have awakened your Extreme Path choice via the "Star of Fate," you may now choose from the following Extreme Paths.】

1. Path of the Myriad Stars: Subsequently, when all main attributes reach 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 points, you will each obtain one "Extreme Passive."

2. Path of the Self-Only Realm: Subsequently, when all main attributes reach 60, 70, 80, and 90 points, you will not obtain "Extreme Passives," but instead accumulate until all main attributes reach 100 points, at which point you can obtain one "Strongest Extreme Ability" to date. Furthermore, your subsequent enhancement of supreme attributes will provide an additional 100% enhancement to yourself.

……

Without hesitation, Su Xiao chose the "Path of the Self-Only Realm," not looking at the others. Just the fact that "your subsequent enhancement of supreme attributes will provide an additional 100% enhancement to yourself" is enough to make this system extremely powerful. Moreover, when accumulated to the limit, there will still be a "Strongest Extreme Ability" to date.

For example, previously, enhancing 1 point of stamina attribute increased Life Core growth by 5 points. Subsequently, it surged to enhancing 1 point of stamina increasing Life Core growth by 10 points. Additionally, the growth of stamina attribute on "Extreme Body Defense Rank" also doubled. Furthermore, the subsequent growth of intelligence attribute on "Green Qing Qing Gang Ying Energy" and "Soul Strength" also doubled entirely.

Su Xiao continued enhancing supreme attributes, consuming a total of 8,400,000 ounces of spacetime power to exchange for 24 points of Supreme Free Attributes, then allocated them equally—6 points each—to the four main attributes.

When the Attribute Enhancement Chamber ceased operation, he slowly exhaled, a wisp of white breath escaping. He then checked his own data:

Life Core: 369/369 grains.

Green Qing Qing Gang Ying Energy: 122,420/122,420 points.

Supreme Power: 56 points.

Supreme Agility: 56 points.

Supreme Stamina: 56 points.

Supreme Intelligence: 56 points.

True Charm: -140 points.

True Luck Attribute: -10 points.

Fortune: -20,000,000 points.

……

True Charm and Luck Attribute did not decrease, which is very good. He took out the 【Miracle Secret Elixir】, drank it all at once, then opened the skill list and chose to enhance the "Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash" ability, raising it by 19 levels at once.

【To enhance Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash, Lv. 150, requires consuming 5,700,000 ounces of Spacetime Power, Primal Core ×380, and nineteen portions of "Initial Source Substance".】

……

The "Primal Core" and "Initial Source Substance" on hand were insufficient, but after the Abyssal Campaign began, the output of these two late-game core resources increased. Moreover, the "Merit Shop" provided exchange channels, drastically reducing their prices, making them purchasable at stalls in the Great Gathering.

【Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash, Lv. 169 (Ultimate Technique·Passive)】

Base Effect: Overall technique ability comprehensive strength increased by 2135% (increased by 665%).

Skill Effect: Ultimate Blade (Exclusive Passive)……

Current Ultimate Blade·Foundation Strength: 516 points.

Ultimate Effect 1: Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash (Ultimate·Exclusive Passive)……

Ultimate Effect 2: State of No-Self (Ultimate·Exclusive Passive), entering the "State of No-Self" briefly forgets all past sword techniques, retaining only the currently used sword technique, pushing it to the extreme.

Current State of No-Self Enhancement Limit: 41.1x technique power.

……

Having reached this point, Su Xiao still had 35,690 ounces of Spacetime Power left. He took out the Abyssal Treasure Chest obtained this time, with the "Fate Reversal" "Fortune Power" effect active, and simultaneously opened five Abyssal Treasure Chests.

【You have opened Abyssal Treasure Chest (★★★★★★) ×5.】

【You obtained the Primordial Race Emblem·Eye of Death.】

【You obtained the Primordial Race Emblem·Phantom Demon.】

【You obtained the Primordial Race Emblem·Nether Abyss.】

【You obtained Abyssal Ember·Large Lump (Abyssal Curio).】

【You obtained the Death Sea Notebook (Abyssal Curio).】

……

Unexpectedly, no Great Father-level·Original Sin item "Deep Sea Ancient Urn" was drawn. It seems all Original Sin items obtainable from the "Abyssal Treasure Chest" have been exhausted. Thus, future "Abyssal Treasure Chests" will surely be profitable, with a chance of instant windfall—ultra-high returns.

The three "Primordial Race Emblems": Su Xiao knows of the Chimera; as for "Eye of Death", "Phantom Demon", and "Nether Abyss", he had never heard of them. However, the Abyssal descendants in the Abyss are not limited to the Five Great Families, and these three "Primordial Race Emblems" likely represent those three Abyssal descendants who, after the Abyssal Campaign began, defected to the Five Great Families, seeking further advancement in this campaign.

The clan leaders of these three families never imagined the Five Great Clan Leaders would be slaughtered, and even if they were, it wouldn't matter—what's deadly is that the treasure chest profit mechanism extracted the "Primordial Race Emblems" held by the Five Great Clan Leaders.

That is, the ambitious "Eye of Death", "Phantom Demon", and "Nether Abyss", which had not yet appeared on the Wind Sea Battlefield, are about to be wiped out by Am, who just finished eating the "Primordial Race Emblem·Rune", staring at the three additional "Primordial Race Emblems", gulping down saliva.

Shortly after, the "Phantom Demon Family" first lost their immortality, then the "Nether Abyss Family"; as for the "Eye of Death", this family's "Primordial Race Emblem" is relatively large, though still far inferior to the "Primordial Race Emblem·Rune".

Taking out the last "Abyssal Treasure Chest", Su Xiao opened it.

【You have opened Abyssal Treasure Chest (★★★★★★★★★).】

【You obtained the Forsaken One.】

……

Not a single word, sentence, or detail missed!

A pitch-black left hand appeared ahead, with over a dozen pale scales on the back of the hand. Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin", opened some seals, and dark gold, deathly gray, crimson, gold, dark green, black-red, gold-red, and bright red—eight kinds of Original Sin aura—gushed out, dragging the "Forsaken One", bursting with strong decadence, negativity, and depravity, into the newly cleared ninth page, where it was finally sealed.

Su Xiao put away the "Book of Original Sin", stood up, poured a cup of hot tea, sat back on the single-person sofa, held the tea cup calmly in one hand, sipped the black maple tea lightly, two sips, with a crack—several cracks appeared on the tea cup in his hand.

Having come this far, first repair the "Night of Mad Hunt".

Su Xiao contacted Reid, still in the Myriad Races Realm. Originally, he planned to go to the Myriad Races Realm to check on the forging of the "Endless Ring", and have Reid help repair the "Night of Mad Hunt". Instead, Reid firmly refused, saying he would rush back to the Reincarnation Paradise to repair the "Night of Mad Hunt". Clearly, Reid did not intend to show off before the Three Legendary Blacksmiths.

Let Am send the "Night of Mad Hunt" long coat and "Abyssal Ember·Large Lump" to Reid's forging shop. Su Xiao went to the Trial Grounds, to the Realm of All Beings·Tenth Layer, where he did not endure hardship, but sat cross-meditating on a lone wooden boat on the Spirit Lake of the Realm of All Beings·Tenth Layer.

Next morning, Su Xiao opened his eyes, chose to return to the Wind Sea Battlefield. When the transmission light faded, he and Am had already returned to the Wind Sea Headquarters. Inside the insect nest, "Guardians" were produced nonstop, yet still supply could not meet demand.

Compared to when he left, the bloody aura inside the Headquarters was thicker, wails and groans of pain never ceased. Looking around, all visible were severely wounded contractors or Star Realm powerhouses. A youth was receiving treatment from a bald healer, the two conversing.

Bang.

The youth's chest suddenly exploded, black scale tendrils formed of Abyssal energy pierced the bald healer. Had the bald healer not had a Guardian on him, he would have died miserably on the spot.

Pearl-sized, flying at astonishing speed, with extreme accuracy, the Annihilation Sphere consecutively blasted through the Abyssal-transformed youth's skull and chest. A few seconds later, he let out a weak roar and collapsed.

Seeing this, Su Xiao knew the situation in the Wind Sea War Zone was different—heavyweight figures had arrived on the Abyssal side, due to the fall of the Five Great Clan Leaders here.

Dong!

The entire Headquarters trembled. Su Xiao instantly arrived at the main gate, a wave of scorching heat hit him. He saw the position at the last line of defense—retreating further would require re-guarding the Headquarters. Worse still, the aura belonging to the Blade Demon on the right-wing defense line had vanished. Death was not highly probable, but not entirely ruled out; likely, he had been exiled beyond the Wind Sea Battlefield.

The Deer God's side was also unfavorable—golden light erupted to the extreme, clearly the state displayed after the Deer God's death and rebirth.

Leaping onto the half-destroyed black metal high wall, Su Xiao's gaze swept over the endless Abyssal army. Compared to before, the current Abyssal army advanced and retreated with order, even appearing as Black Knights charging forward then forming shield walls, Snake People charging onto the shield walls and leaping up, forming several-meter-high formations, not high enough to attract aerial warship machine guns, neatly firing dense sword rain at our defense line.

The Black Knights' shield walls opened gaps, upon which the heavy cavalry Evil Pox tribe immediately seized the chance to charge. The Snake People drew their curved blades and followed these charge-opening Evil Pox tribe members. When the Evil Pox tribe were slain by long-range abilities, several Snake People would leap out from behind.

Meanwhile, the dark giants in the distance grabbed one metal ball after another—these were all Abyssal spawn gathered and expelled. After being thrown and smashing into the Wind Sea Headquarters, they would immediately scatter, launching a fierce attack on the rear of our defense line.

And in the distance, where the Abyssal Gate originally stood, now stood a fortress tens of thousands of meters high, protecting the originally exposed Abyssal Gate at its center.

This is the Abyssal camp's Dark Fortress. Its appearance also signifies one thing: Domain Overlord·Alva·Eso, with his left and right arms, along with the Abyssal Giant Beasts, Evil Pox tribe, Black Knights, Snake People, Dark Giants, Shadow Scale tribe, and Twisted Forest People—these ruling-level fierce figures of the Abyssal races—have arrived on the Wind Sea Continent.

This is the second legion of the Abyssal army. As for battle records, the past astonishing feats need not be mentioned. Previously, the Dark Fortress was located on "Blazing Sun Star". When the Dark Fortress Legion departed from "Blazing Sun Star", the Abyssal erosion degree of "Blazing Sun Star" reached 72.55%, closely following the Wind Sea Battlefield's 80%.

Currently, the Abyssal intrusion degree on the Wind Sea Battlefield is 89.66%, and still rising.

Actually, the current situation is the Abyssal army's misjudgment of the situation—no, it cannot even be called a misjudgment. The Wind Sea Battlefield will surely be captured, which was tacitly agreed upon by both sides before the war. Moreover, the Abyssal camp was not careless; at the outset, they paved the way with Dark Blood, sent the Third Abyssal Legion here, and gave command to the Yu family.

The Dark Fortress Legion then took charge of "Blazing Sun Star", aiming to capture it immediately after securing the Wind Sea Continent.

Once these two war zones are taken, the other three won't exactly fall into our laps, but they will become more than ten times harder to defend than the Wind Sea Continent was at the start.

At this moment, in the command chamber on the 350th floor of the Dark Fortress, under a dim and heavy atmosphere, the towering figure in the seat of honor remained silent, his black fur cloak making him appear even more massive, a pair of dark gold vertical pupils exuding an air of authority, and his two hands resting casually on the black stone table, solidified like oil, one index finger wearing a gold ring tapping the tabletop repeatedly.

The leaders of the abyssal races seated around the table either feigned silence or stayed mute, none daring to direct their gaze toward the supreme commander of the Abyssal Domain, Alva Erso.

After a moment of silence, the Abyssal Domain Commander Alva Erso spoke in the Abyssal tongue: "Have I been too lenient with you?"

The Abyssal Domain Commander Alva Erso lowered his eyes to look at the leader of the Black Knights, who was responsible for attacking the Wind Sea war zone alongside the Yu family.

The Black Knight leader offered no defense; the Yu family's actions had left him speechless, but defeat was already a fact. After rising, he drew a serrated short blade from the waist of his subordinate behind him, approached the seat of honor, knelt on one knee, and presented with both hands this unique causal weapon of the Abyssal faction, speaking in the Abyssal tongue:

"I have failed the opportunity granted by my lord, and lost your trust. This is the fate befitting a failure. I bring you, my power's inheritor."

Having spoken, the Black Knight leader lifted the serrated short blade he offered slightly higher and bowed his head. The Abyssal Domain Commander Alva Erso need only grasp this causal weapon, and with a single thrust, the Black Knight leader would perish here.

"You offered no excuses, and I am relieved. I have witnessed the foolishness of the Yu family; their hearts have been corrupted by the undying immortals, making their stupidity inevitable. Mokia, do not disappoint me a second time."

The Abyssal Domain Commander Alva Erso's large hand did not seize the serrated short blade, but instead pressed down on the Black Knight leader's shoulder. The leader's claw, which had offered the broken serrated blade, clenched tight, black blood trickling down his arm armor. He did not erupt in expression, but spoke calmly:

"As you command."

Seeing this, the Abyssal Domain Commander Alva Erso nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, the Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si, who had originally held the third position in the Yu family, unexpectedly entered the council hall. Though her attire had changed, she approached Alva Erso's side and leaned in to whisper something.

The Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si was not a temporary defector; she is one of Alva Erso's trusted aides. She had long been embedded within the Yu family, for Alva Erso had always sensed that the Yu family were somewhat foolish. Though the Beast family also had their share of foolishness, the Lune family remained loyal, and furthermore, there were spies there. More precisely, it was a somewhat double-dealing spy, named the Crimson Beast Di Luo.

Compared to the Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si, Commander Alva Erso found Di Luo more interesting—this ambitious, war-loving fellow was simply too useful. Given sufficient benefits, he could accomplish many things that the Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si and other aides could not.

After hearing the Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si's report, Commander Alva Erso expressed mild astonishment: "That so-called 'Guardian' thing is actually an individual of the insect race? When did the insect race gain elemental powers?"

"The insect queen is a servant of the Spellbreaker Kukulin Bai Ye."

Upon hearing the Deep Sea Witch Wu Lei Si's words, Commander Alva Erso nodded, indicating this made sense. In his view, the other aspects of the Wind Sea battlefield were manageable, but the Spellbreaker Kukulin Bai Ye must be the major enemy of this war. To be careless would surely doom the current favorable situation.

At this moment, Commander Alva Erso's arch-enemy stood upon the metallic high wall behind the Wind Sea defenses, gazing into the distance at the "Dark Fortress," having heard the intelligence gathered by Ba Ha, and thus understood the situation.

Opposite him was a lifetime warrior, exceptionally skilled in war, whose legions feared no death, with cannon-fodder grunts endless in number, various elite units also existing in great quantity, not to mention the presence of "Primeval Abyssal Entities."

The previously feuding Mad Scale Kun En Ha was also within this Dark Fortress, or rather, within the main base just now—the youth whose chest suddenly burst open was slain by the hand of Mad Scale Kun En Ha.

Su Xiao has long possessed one advantage: he is highly self-aware. He clearly understands one point: he has always been able to push multiple worlds forward with legion-style tactics; in the early and middle stages, he relied on the Warlord title, and later, on insect swarm breeding. He has always excelled at dying struggles against strong foes, not battlefield command—certainly not. Having won multiple times with legion flow, he developed the illusion that he was skilled at battlefield command.

Thus, Su Xiao has never participated in commanding the various defensive lines of the Wind Sea battlefield. For this, the White Wolf King, responsible for overall command of the Wind Sea battlefield, could hardly be more relieved, as he truly fears this mighty hunter suddenly having some "brilliant idea."

Now it appears, this one is not only powerful but also possesses sharp intellect, even having his subordinate seek out the White Wolf King and leave a communicator, so that in a special crisis, the White Wolf King may request aid. For this reason, the White Wolf King, whose eyes are bloodshot from the frayed battlefield, finally took a calming pill, thinking: This is truly a reliable thigh to hold onto.

Su Xiao gazes upon the "Dark Fortress" in the distance. Right now, facing off against that deep abyss grand commander in battlefield capability, defeat is certain. After his arrival, the abyssal legions on the battlefield have seen their combined strength increase by one-third. This is clearly a large-scale effect, similar to an aura, but of a higher tier than mere aura—a war enhancement.

A plan begins to form in Su Xiao's mind: since the previous strategy failed, let us try an enhanced version. He opens the campaign contact platform, where numerous voices speak—this is a platform where all participants and reserve participants may speak.

Also, due to the sheer number of speakers, participants mostly communicate within their own war zone channels. This platform is more like a super-large information-sharing and item-purchasing platform.

After editing his statement, he sends out a message. Su Xiao unexpectedly discovers that his message appears in crimson-gold font, and immediately after sending, a default five-second global mute takes effect. This speaking permission arises from the combination of battlefield contribution and merit holdings.

Bai Ye (Reinforcement Squad): "Purchasing war trait titles with merit points, as well as any nine-star titles."

The former Warlord title was not bad, but after the Eternal Light World ended, the Warlord title was changed, shifting from a war-type title to an insect summoning title. As long as we win this Wind Sea battlefield round, this title will undoubtedly have great future use.

Five seconds after Su Xiao's message, a new message appears:

Isa (Participant): ""Conqueror (★★★★★★★★★)", I am the Soul Ascension System·Peak Realm of the Charm Cultivation Line, this strange path is not the point. This title is the strongest among the many war-type titles I have obtained, its foundation is excellent, initial nine-star—yes, this is the strength of its original state."

Su Xiao examines the attributes of the "Conqueror (Nine-Star)" title, then immediately decides: this will be it, or rather, this is also the best war-type title he has seen. It is not the strongest because this thing has not yet undergone extreme smelting.

Bai Ye (Reinforcement Squad): "Opening bid."

Isa (Participant): "Free."

Bai Ye (Reinforcement Squad): "Reason."

Isa (Participant): "In the Wind Sea battlefield, without your Guardians, I should already have died at the hands of Mad Scale Kun En Ha."

……

One can only say, this reason is more than sufficient. Before long, participants successively approached Su Xiao to sell various nine-star titles. Su Xiao currently lacks nothing more than merit points. He returned to the main base and began using the material transmission device corresponding to the contact platform to conduct subsequent transactions. Before long, his title list contained a large number of nine-star titles.

"Mr. Bai Ye."

A clear, pleasant female voice came from beside him. Turning his head, he saw a lady in a light white dress, elegant and warm in demeanor, her appearance not absolutely beautiful but pleasing and easy on the eyes. This is indeed one of the top-tier experts who developed from the charm system toward the soul system.

A dark gold title, several sizes larger than a gold coin, was thrown over. Ling Zhe Zhe·Isa smiled and nodded slightly, then vanished peacefully and naturally, returning to the rear defensive line.

Su Xiao did not immediately synthesize titles, as current defensive pressure on our side is immense. He opened the insect list, weighed his options, and did not first upgrade "Mad Beast," "Black Flame Magic Dragon," or "Titan Giant Beast." Thus, with the current 32 "Elemental Cores," he continued upgrading "Guardian." After investing 15 "Elemental Cores"—that is, after 15 upgrades—the "Guardian" reached its limit and evolved into "Life Guardian."

The remaining "Elemental Cores" were then directed toward the "Mad Beast," because breeding "Mad Beast" is low in cost. After consuming a total of 12 "Elemental Cores," the "Mad Beast" also reached full upgrade.

【Prompt: Mad Beast has completed advancement, advancing to "Elemental Fury Beast".】

Su Xiao checks the breeding cost of "Elemental Fury Beast"—one requires 3 points of secondary elemental energy, which is very good. He begins having Ji La issue mental commands to breed Elemental Fury Beasts via the mother nest.

Dark purple slime spreads throughout the mother nest, which looks disgusting yet carries a fresh herbal scent. Within it, countless "ovarian tissues" begin generating the giant eggs of Elemental Fury Beasts. Then, within the vast internal space of this insect nest, the eggs are transported by countless worker scorpions into the "breeding sacs." Merely minutes later, the first batch of Elemental Fury Beasts appears.

With a puffing sound, the egg sacs burst, splattering slime. Insect individuals, once bred, are already at peak adulthood. The first Elemental Mad Beast appears, its body length exceeding five meters, its overall form closer to that of a beast, with many dangling semi-transparent tendrils on its neck, a long tail fully extended to seven meters, its blade-tail structure capable of extension and retraction serving as the primary attack method, and the blade-tail naturally bearing elemental damage.

Furthermore, the Elemental Fury Beast has a strong trait: when severed into two parts, it transforms into two individuals, smaller in size, becoming two Elemental Fury Beasts. If shattered, it becomes a small swarm of mini Elemental Fury Beasts. Moreover, Elemental Fury Beasts possess a gathering trait—these mini Elemental Fury Beasts can recombine in moments.

And the complete Elemental Fury Beasts can also gather together, forming enormous Elemental Giant Beasts to counter the dark giants on the battlefield.

Within the main base, the first batch totaling tens of thousands of Elemental Fury Beasts charges toward the main gate. After rushing out of the main base, they draw near each other, flesh and blood surging, and amid the full-scale sprint, they actually complete fusion, forming a colossal figure.

This Elemental Giant Beast leaps forward to pounce and slaughter, boldly lunging at the dark giant wildly swinging a massive battle axe. The Elemental Giant Beast's right arm blade sweeps, cleanly severing the dark giant's massive head.

Counterattack, officially begins.

(End of Chapter)
