Chapter 257: Forbidden Rule Fragment: Swallowing It Through Painful Tears

"Above the vast expanse of transcendent stars, there are many mysterious and powerful organizations."

"Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui is one of them."

"Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui controls many forbidden powers, and moreover, by using the abundant Forbidden Ecology in their hands, they can cultivate the Forbidden Sealed Objects they require."

"Among the many Forbidden Sealed Species ecologies built by Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui, there is a Forbidden Sealed Object that is favored by numerous transcendent forces."

"This powerful death‑grade Forbidden Sealed Object is — the Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket."

"Also…"

Archbishop LiGen Qiao paused.

"It is also the Forbidden Rule power you are currently bearing."

Death‑grade forbidden item — Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket?

"And this is the terror of forbidden power."

"Since your forbidden powers also have their own subordinate Forbidden Ecology."

"Leaning against a big tree is so cool!"

"Depending on the locked target, the resources invested differ."

In the short term, it poses little threat to Ta Ke.

"For each victory in a Curtain Duel, the entrant will gain a certain Forbidden Rule trait."

"But the price is that you will be despised by the Forbidden Ecology."

"Then…"

"Yes!" Archbishop LiGen Qiao nodded slowly.

"There's actually such a good thing?"

"Wuwu…"

"And you don't even have to wait another two months."

What damage can a 'harmless‑grade' Forbidden Curtain Arena inflict on Ta Ke?

It's just a quick lap up and down, the damage is zero.

Obviously!

"Is he a genius, does he have great potential, and is there potential for further cultivation?"

"Can one also obtain Forbidden Rule traits through a Forbidden Curtain Duel?"

This blossoming temporary Forbidden Ecology can also be anchored by the system for idle development.

"Now that we have the upcoming top‑tier resource Forbidden Rule Fragment, there's no need to consider it; we must obtain a powerful death‑grade sealed object."

"Then, we'll probably have to face a level‑1 'powerful' enemy."

Indeed!

After scrutinizing Ta Ke for a moment, Archbishop LiGen Qiao silently nodded.

"Before the Forbidden Curtain stage begins, I can amass a large wave of Forbidden Rule Fragments."

"Practice is the only standard for testing genius!"

Now, Ta Ke's system‑anchored area is the Star Sea Blue Four‑Ring Tower.

Accompanied by wave sounds like a sea of blood.

Intense steam energy spouts around Ta Ke.

Talent Fragment!

It forged Ta Ke's SSS‑grade Overturning Talent.

"Forbidden Rule Fragments can help Ta Ke erase damage originating from the forbidden rule layer."

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly; he could see the forbidden domain dimension, and the bizarre curtain, like a stage, truly resembled a grand ceremony venue, awaiting Ta Ke's performance!

Meanwhile, a hidden gaze deep within the curtain still watches from the shadows.

They are likely to adopt a ruthless 'fish‑dies‑net‑breaks' tactic.

Since the Dim Sun's power does not exist here, there is naturally no distortion of perception power toward Ta Ke.

"And this is the most terrifying aspect of the Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket."

"Doesn't it sound fairly tempting, like a desire to try, even to enhance the forbidden revolver steam pistol in your hand?"

The Dim Sun Church, occupying part of Saint Land's ecological niche.

"This Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket has already drawn you in; the first enemy deep within the curtain you might handle, but the second, third, and later enemies become increasingly terrifying."

For example, Ta Ke's forbidden revolver pistol fused with destiny fangs.

The Dim Sun Church first launched an ecological war with the blood‑clan steam castle.

These words made Ta Ke's eyes glisten slightly, and he then spoke slowly.

By investing Forbidden Rule Fragments, one can curb its negative traits.

Having heard Assistant Archbishop LiGen Qiao's exposition.

"The rules for the Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket are as follows."

Before that, the Forbidden Curtain was extremely close to Ta Ke, within arm's reach.

"Cannot use the power of Forbidden Sealed Objects."

If Saint Land cannot be taken, then perhaps unleash the most brutal ecological scorched‑earth damage on Saint Land.

Now at Micro‑Spirit grade, one shot can only draw for one or two hours.

"The deity values you greatly; he hopes you can resolve it yourself."

Meanwhile, within the steam behind Ta Ke, a faint old star emerged.

Archbishop Li Gen spoke slowly and began to elaborate.

We must also counterattack Saintland's steam ecology.

"In short, this is God's test of you."

This let Ta Ke sniff a faint scent of "scorched‑earth war."

Ta Ke didn't know before; now Ta Ke knows.

"Sure enough, the Three‑Eyed God Church maintains its usual pragmatic, practical style."

Ta Ke leisurely opened his system.

"I wonder whether the zones where these forbidden seals are placed have formed convergence areas of forbidden ecological force."

"Ability assessment, moderate cultivation!"

This is Ta Ke's magical little house, completely isolated from the outside Dark‑Sun ecological force.

"Three top‑tier resources, one 5‑star witchcraft forbidden spell, one 【Death‑level】 forbidden seal, and one rune‑world tower secret scripture."

Its power is even greater.

"Transcendents entering will undergo three to seven Curtain Duels."

Suppressing 【Master】 【Legend】 is no problem.

"【Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket】—this one is a huge gift from the Crown Rank Archbishop of Dark Sun!"

"If Saintland's forbidden‑seal zones have gathered massive forbidden ecological force."

When they are upgraded to 【Death‑level】 terrifying seals.

"And that 【Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui】 above the stars—they study exactly this mysterious rule‑type power."

Anyway, the battles fought in Saintland's ecology destroy Saintland's ecological foundation as well.

This wave, while the Crown Rank Archbishop of Dark Sun ambushed Ta Ke.

The enemy can exploit it, and Ta Ke can exploit it likewise.

At this moment, within Ta Ke's 【Steady Development System】 search area.

Seeing Archbishop Li Gen Qiao's slightly hesitant expression, Ta Ke knew the matter was clearly not as simple as he had imagined.

He carefully examined the anchorable idle zone "【Forbidden Curtain Arena】" and the distant layered forbidden curtains.

And the higher‑grade rare resource "【Forbidden Rule Fragment】."

"But… to solve the trouble, I still have to figure it out myself."

As the old stars appeared.

Ta Ke let out a sigh of relief.

As a result, right now, the Crown Rank Archbishop of Dark Sun forced it hard into his mouth.

This is the greatness of the high‑grade resource "【Forbidden Rule Fragment】."

Ta Ke's heart triggered a triple combo.

If it truly can't be solved, the deity will intervene personally.

Archbishop Li Gen's exposition gave Ta Ke a slight shock.

Blood‑red waves gathered from deep underground, forming an ecologically powerful impact force that continuously battered Saintland's steam‑tower ecology, turning Saintland's steam gray mist gradually blood‑red.

Result!

"After all… you may someday enter a dangerous forbidden ecological environment."

"After weakening its negative traits and carrying it with you, death will truly follow like a shadow!"

The twisted force of Dark‑Sun ecology seemed to vanish, no longer reconverging.

That will let the enemy know what cruelty truly is!

【Forbidden Rule Fragment】

Is this the treatment of a "Divine Favored One"?

"When facing a strong enemy, the great Three‑Eyed God will back me up, so I won't lose my underwear."

"And the 【Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket】 grants the victor abundant 【Forbidden】 rule‑type attributes!"

When Ta Ke previously went underground to capture blood clans, he found the underground blood‑clan ecology had partially recovered.

Moreover, it produced the rather rare "Forbidden Rule Fragment" high‑end resource.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke largely settled on a direction.

One shot might even siphon a day or two of life essence.

After a long exhale, Ta Ke slightly reined in his spirit.

Originally, Ta Ke had no idea that this so‑called 【Forbidden】 power also had an ecology.

"This time, the great Three‑Eyed God's gaze can help you destroy the forbidden‑curtain ecology built around you."

Since it's an ecology!

Then, in theory, it can be anchored by Ta Ke's 【Steady Development System】 and harvested steadily while idling.

"Also… I recall the Saintland Church's sanctuary also seems to have a forbidden‑seal zone!"

"Forbidden Rule Fragment" is a resource Ta Ke may only discover after a long time.

But that forbidden curtain lies far from Ta Ke.

"When this wave of blood‑clan ecological war ends, tomorrow I'll go with Beavis Twain to see Bishop Martha Clark and check the forbidden‑seal sealing area."

"God may disregard the hatred of forbidden power, but you cannot."

Xinglan Sea, Four‑Ring Tower, 79th floor.

Level‑1 legendary hero spirit.

Yes!

A development zone that can be anchored, called the Forbidden Curtain Gladiator Stage, is prominently listed among them.

Enhance the positive effects of the Forbidden Seal in one's hand and weaken its negative effects.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke gradually steadied his mind.

"Every day, I cultivate for a while inside the Magical Cabin, using my powerful ancient steam energy to cleanse the contamination and distortion of the Dark Sun's power."

"Give you enough time to resolve the death crisis of the Forbidden Curtain Entrance Ticket."

"And my replacement idle anchoring location can be swapped after a little over two months."

Dark Sun Crown Archbishop.

Forbidden Curtain Gladiator Stage

In fact, it is indeed so.

"Earlier I was still considering whether to exchange one of the three crucial resources granted by the three major powers for a Forbidden Seal."

Ta Ke felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his heart.

For example, Ta Ke's next opponent might be a level‑60 Master Heroic Spirit.

The Forbidden Seal in his hand can also be upgraded.

He did not expect the strong ones of the Dark Sun Church's Three Sanctums to be so ruthless.

Elevated to Danger‑grade, a single shot might siphon five or six, even seven or eight hours.

Archbishop Li Gen Qiao took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

Among the many development zones.

"Buzz… buzz…"

Inside Ta Ke's Magical Cabin.

"I can pray to the divine once more, beseeching the Divine Destroyer to dismantle the Death‑grade Economic Seal that has built a deadly forbidden ecology for you!"

It is the Forbidden Ecology Zone where Ta Ke can develop steadily.

Ta Ke inhaled deeply, and a smile gradually spread across his face.

Postpone the problem and let me find a solution myself.

Divine Power Fragments allow Ta Ke to loot powerful Demon King tombs and even potent Magical Areas, gaining divine power stronger than their own.

"According to the principle of equivalence in the Forbidden Rules."

Because, it really is!

Turn the Death‑grade rule power into Danger‑grade, then into Micro‑spirit grade, continue weakening it, and it can even become essentially harmless, a Harmless grade.

Don't say I'm bullying kindergarten kids; you all go together, and I'll give you three moves!

Punch the Master Senior Home, step on the Legendary Kindergarten.

"Hmm… asking directly is a bit too reckless."

"I want to meditate and cultivate alone for a while; the gifts from the divine are abundant, and I want to digest them more!"

Moreover, he didn't know that a mysterious organization called Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui was cultivating a forbidden ecology, this terrifying power.

"When I enter that area, the system will trigger a wave of Rapid Development."

At the same time, Ta Ke can expend fewer Forbidden Rule Fragments to weaken a single enemy at the Forbidden Rule level.

And its resource output is also explosively high.

"If the actual content is just as it appears on the surface, that would actually be fine."

"Then… that would be great!"

But a level‑1 Master Heroic Spirit should be easier to deal with, right!

"I said I want to select a Death‑grade Forbidden Seal suitable for me and go to the Forbidden Seal Zone to investigate."

Forbidden Rule Fragments: 3.8 per day.

"The rewards you obtain are extremely generous, and the enemies within your curtain will easily bring you death and indelible disaster."

"Can the Forbidden Seal be upgraded?"

"If the rewards for curtain entrants are quite abundant, then… the enemies you encounter will be terrifyingly astonishing!"

The divine granted Ta Ke ample powerful protection at the Forbidden Rule level of the Forbidden Seal.

"Of course… if there's truly no way! When the Forbidden Curtain Entrance Ticket is about to draw you in."

The gate, never previously anticipated, slammed open.

Besides being able to weaken the damage from one's own Forbidden Rule power.

At this moment, Ta Ke regards the Forbidden Curtain Entrance Ticket.

Feeling that forbidden layer, like a stage curtain, the forbidden curtain—ecology!

A faint, hidden smile curled at Ta Ke's mouth.

"The Forbidden rule trait can be used to strengthen the positive attributes of one's own Forbidden Seal and weaken its negative impact on oneself."

Ta Ke likewise used Forbidden Rule Fragments to reduce its level, turning it into a level‑1 Legendary Heroic Spirit.

The rule power of the Forbidden Seal.

And this is why Ta Ke said the Forbidden Curtain Entrance Ticket was a gift from the Dark Sun Crown Archbishop.

"Let me solve it myself? I think… I already have a solution!"

"In fact…"

Increase its life‑siphoning on enemies.

"Such a powerful hostility of the forbidden ecology permeates the depths of all forbidden ecologies throughout the transcendent world."

As Ta Ke condenses his surging steam sequence power.

"Then I can obtain Forbidden Rule Fragments in advance."

Archbishop Li Gen Qiao asked slowly and deliberately.

"After the past, I will search and investigate on my own, and it will become clear naturally."

It is the gift from that Dark Sun Crown Archbishop to me.

I would rather piece together the shattered vampire ecology and the desiccation of the netherblood sea.

With the system in hand, Ta Ke can completely return the enemy's tactics at super double strength!

"Thanks to the protection of the gods, the Forbidden Curtain Entrance Stage will take at least four months, perhaps around half a year, before it makes the first pull on me."

Accompanied by the source‑energy roar of the dungeon's dual‑core steam sequence.

Ta Ke can consume a small amount of Forbidden Rule Fragments to reduce its level to 1.

"Perhaps there will be a good payoff."

As for the one before me that requires a long time to pull oneself into the Forbidden Curtain Arena.

This wave of powerful resource information, Ta Ke could only swallow it with tears.

Following the magical cottage's wondrous window, he looked at the glass window outside.

"Basically I can ignore the Dark Sun Evil God's curse on me now."

"As the Dark Sun Church that uses the Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket to pull you in, they will inevitably pour massive resources into it, thereby completing a Forbidden Rule layout to slay you!"

A level‑60 Master Heroic Spirit is hard to deal with.

"I'm not, I don't, stop talking nonsense!"

Thinking so, Ta Ke looked at Archbishop Li Gen Qiao and said.

Ta Ke can consume a larger amount of Forbidden Rule Fragments.

It originally intended to kill Ta Ke, but ended up helping Ta Ke open the gate to a new world.

Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui, this powerful mysterious organization above the stars.

They have built a powerful Forbidden Ecology.

This "harmless level" is a definition Ta Ke created based on the fragment's properties.

Yes!

"At least, on the surface it sounds quite fair."

The slight distortion caused by the Dark Sun Ecology around Ta Ke was swiftly crushed by the power of Ta Ke's old steam.

A level‑1 Master Heroic Spirit.

Thinking so, Ta Ke couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

"The Forbidden Rule Trait is extremely difficult to obtain; even acquiring a tiny bit requires a huge price."

According to the system's exposition.

Although the area cannot be changed now, it does not prevent Ta Ke from searching for the surrounding 'development zones'.

But outwardly Ta Ke still nodded.

"Huh…"

"After all, the negative traits have too great an impact; I might not be able to control them."

"Overall, the Forbidden Rule Trait is a very rare and scarce resource."

Information of this tier is something only high‑level transcendents are qualified to know.

Ta Ke's heart fluttered slightly.

"Huh…"

Even if the enemy becomes stronger, perhaps an 80‑level Legendary Heroic Spirit.

What!

You say their level is only one?

Just say whether it's true or not!

The Forbidden Rule Fragments produced by the system are that brutal and domineering!

"That Dark Sun Crown Archbishop pulling me into the Forbidden Rules—does that really help? Are you sure it's not a trap?"

"As long as there is a gain."

"So… the great Three‑Eyed God's choice is that He delayed the death‑level seal, the Forbidden Curtain Admission Ticket, pulling you in."

Carefully feeling the curtain stage from the dimension of Forbidden Power!

"Then… the Dark Sun Crown Archbishop's painstakingly built Forbidden Curtain stage!"

"It will become the—cemetery—for all members of the Dark Sun Church!"

"The Forbidden Magic Box, they opened it themselves for me!"

It's the end of the month, requesting a wave of monthly tickets!
