Chapter 261: Taboo: Execution Platform!

Star Sea Blue Four-Ring Tower, 79 floors.

Inside the Magical Cottage.

Taku, sitting cross-legged in the living room, was writing a magical letter.

"Dear Dr. Stan Lee,"

I'm very happy to write to you again; according to the very secret information I obtained in the tower,

The Duchy of Sailiangsi will soon disclose extensive external information, and the great effect of the 【Steam Core】 will also be known to all.

At that time, the price of the 【Steam Core】 will surge considerably; if possible, you can completely collect some as a means of multiplying wealth.

Bevis Twain told Taku about these matters, and not much time has passed.

Moreover, in Saint Landau, there is no similar news reporting.

Turning around, the Flame Demon Hetara looked at the obviously one-head-shorter 【Skeleton Scythe Lord】.

A huge tentacle extended from the magic furnace fire cabinet.

"Moreover, the means of extraction are also quite simple, after all this is a death-level forbidden sealed object."

"Under the delay of the gods, it will only arrive and release the curse after four months."

For a moment, this huge curtain arena.

"No wonder, back then Dr. Stan Lee was scared by this guy and fled for several days."

Furthermore, you can completely discuss with Captain Abraham whether he has any intention of going to sea.

Taku vaguely recalled that the Blood Clan had originally pushed Armand to become the Dark Sun Saint.

In the distance, Taku, fully engaged in stationary output, nodded satisfiedly.

Taku prefers the identity of an unrestrained 'pirate member'.

Behind him were a pair of burning Flame Demon wings, the scorching firelight illuminating a large surrounding area.

When the Flame Demon Lord Hetara appeared.

Under the joint efforts of one person and one demon.

Nowadays, the Blood Clan Holy Hall absolutely focuses on cultivating geniuses.

Once an ecological war breaks out.

As a demon creature born of lava, on the transcendent ecological niche, it will undoubtedly be stronger.

Fourth-order Silver Frost Bloodline Werewolf 'Claudia'.

"But the problem is……"

"Fourth-rank super bloodline genius 'Armand', it is said that upon entering the fourth rank he had already condensed a powerful Blood Clan Marquis title, destined to become a future seventh-rank high bloodline, even reaching eighth-rank crown, ninth-rank crown, all highly possible."

"Now!"

"The world's pulse matches the characteristics of this place's taboo rules."

After finishing, Taku threw the sealed magical letter over, and at the same time also sent over the nearby ancient bronze three-lamp candlestick.

Immediately, a pair of fiery flame-demon arms, hot and bearing flame runes, fiercely grabbed the edge of the fire and exerted force.

After writing the magical letter, Taku blew on the ink and checked again.

Or else go to the Transcendent Ocean as a stepping stone to contact the vaster transcendent world.

Taku's next opponent is a level 48 【Skeleton Scythe Lord】, which awaits him on the curtain stage.

"If completely consumed, it can actually draw out 32 fourth-rank transcendent beings."

Without Taku needing to act, the already level 36 Flame Demon Hetara can handle this level 38 【Skeleton Scythe Lord】.

The principle of saving whenever possible.

Nowadays, the Transcendent Ocean journey that is stirring up a steam surge is inevitable.

Mixed with the angry roar from the abyss, as the demon lava breath pours into this damned skeleton frame, the Flame Demon Hetara flaps its wings and fiercely charges forward.

"Hmm…… not bad!"

I think it's time for me to become a qualified pirate ship crew member.

"It seems that to use the Fate Revolver to draw life origin, the target must first possess life origin."

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled gunshot.

A muffled yet soul-shaking footsteps approached from afar.

Of course, those demon horns over a meter long, growing upward, served to greatly increase height.

Do you know any pirate crews? You can completely introduce me to the connections.

In the intense blazing fire, this originally level 48, now level 38 【Skeleton Scythe Lord】 collapsed with a boom.

These people will all be dragged onto the execution platform and executed one by one.

And the Skeleton Scythe Lord likewise swings its scythe to counterattack, but most of the time it is merely passive defense and taking hits.

With the completion of the Summoning Envoy Ritual.

The fire circle was suddenly forced open.

The photon bullet struck the 【Skeleton Scythe Lord】's skull.

"Roar——"

Using the 【World】 as a medium, Taku unleashed his wizard ability 'Spirit Touch Sense' to gather the current state information of the surrounding world.

In his thoughts, Taku continued writing.

The demon's body, with molten lava scale armor filling in, had spine-borne thorn bone spikes protruding like cold blades, all the way extending to a long demon tail whip resembling an iron chain.

"Although the total number is not large…… but if all were used to slay those top geniuses of the three great holy halls of the Dark Sun Church, it would be sufficient."

Even if it is forbidden life, it can still feel the terrifying demon's mighty aura.

Shaking its head, letting out a heavy snort, and spreading its wings, the mighty flame demon He Ta La, after slightly relaxing its body,

"Many people have ventured out and gained great fame."

All hope to achieve something amid the era tide of Saint Land.

"In other words, a forced 1v1 true‑man battle that decides both victory and death."

A powerful pulling force swiftly swept over Ta Ke's entire body.

The level of the originally 48‑level 【Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord】 rapidly diminished.

"Anyone I touch, anyone within my sight, anyone I perceive, can be pulled in."

"As Saint Land's steam tide grows fiercer, the Dark Sun Church has secretly moved many transcendent geniuses into Saint Land."

Although I still want to chat with you a while longer, … the enemies have already come to the door, they're pounding on it… damn… these enemies are so rude… never mind, I'm going out to kill them all!

A qualified Blood Edge Sky Thief Guild member—An De Lie!

He was previously level 35, now he's already level 36.

"Indeed, just as I suspected."

"Tear‑pull…"

"And yet, solely with its own power, it can constantly affect reality."

"But with last time's experience, this time it won't happen."

"Those powerful fifth‑tier transcendants are hard to kill; the sixth‑tier ones, hmm… most likely unbeatable."

"Catch one, kill one; catch two, kill a pair."

Skeleton!

Ta Ke, having entered the Forbidden Curtain Stage, looked around.

Ta Ke, defying superstition, fired again.

A burst of luminous ripples blossomed.

"Give it to Dr. Stan Lee."

Ta Ke can completely reduce this 48‑level 【Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord】 down to level 8.

And the deep‑red curtain silk in the distance loomed as majestically as a towering mountain.

"At present I'm alone plus a demon, which is a bit insufficient, after all it's a wheel battle and the enemies are many."

Undoubtedly, the era of the Ao Gu Twin Star Grand Voyage has arrived.

Later, those who wanted to overthrow the Saint Son position of Wen De Er, the most vocal replacement was the genius called A Er Mang.

"If that's all, then fine, I can't just take this Forbidden Curtain Stage however I like!"

With the insertion of a fragment.

"It seems that the wondrous Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui, when using forbidden ecology to cultivate such seals, also endows these forbidden seals with certain ecological traits."

And now, these geniuses are all in Saint Land.

Ta Ke clicked his tongue in amazement.

But spending four Forbidden Rule fragments would be a bit too wasteful.

Although our Blood Peak Sky Thief Guild mainly deals with sky‑thieving business.

These two genius werewolves are also Totem Sanctuary's recommended werewolf geniuses to replace the Dark Sun Saint Son Wen De Er·Francis.

Then, this massive Forbidden Curtain Stage entered a tranquil state.

It immediately crouched down, the massive demon head humbly lowered before Ta Ke's feet.

Ta Ke's palm brushed over the densely packed droplets on the floor.

His fingers under the blood‑shadow robe twitched lightly.

A moist, oppressive, viscous feeling spread through Ta Ke's mind and also filled the wondrous little house, with a thick layer of droplets appearing on the ground.

The muffled clash of two mighty demons echoed.

Extending his palm, feeling the golden light screen pulsing within it, Ta Ke looked at the increasingly solid forbidden curse—the Forbidden Curtain Stage surrounding him.

He inhaled sharply.

Compared to the status of a 'Divine Attendant' of the Three‑Eyed Divine Church.

Level 47, Level 46, Level 45…

As the demon body of the herded flame demon He Ta La, even if it dies in battle outside, its body could even vanish.

"Bang!"

Various methods continuously targeted the 【Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord】 as a fellow lord.

Whether evading the Dark Sun curse of the Ashen Land.

"Since that's the case…"

Like the sound of a bursting bubble, Ta Ke instantly vanished inside his wondrous little house.

The anomalies inside the wondrous little house gradually subsided.

"Earlier I searched this area with the system; this Forbidden Curtain Stage has ecological traits, allowing anchored development. I was a bit puzzled why a stage would have ecology, but it turns out it's this massive."

The level dropped sharply by 10, and its deterrence power instantly fell one tier.

"This 'Forbidden Curtain Stage' is built by the powerful cursed force of a forbidden seal."

If it weren't there.

It possesses an extreme cold talent, ice‑zero breath, and is hailed as a bloodline talent divine skill unmatched by anyone!

And 'Magnus', born atop the Ancestor Heroic Spirit Altar, is praised as the Son of Heroes.

"By using Forbidden Rule fragments, I can pull enemies in."

The thin golden light of the old stars outside once again seeped into the house.

Ta Ke's mind was filled with the geniuses of the famed Dark Sun Church who had appeared in Saint Land during this period.

"Hmm? None?"

Ta Ke nodded and began the ritual to summon his own terrifying, grotesque messenger.

"I possess… a Forbidden Rule Fragment in my hand."

"The dimensions of transcendent mysticism, the deeper one delves, the more astonishing it becomes."

"This Skull Scythe Lord is a lifeform under the Forbidden Rule and lacks the life source I require."

If Ta Ke didn't lack magic gold, he would certainly seek Bei Wei Si·Tu Wen to purchase at least ten or more.

These three candle stands are labor fees and naturally cannot be waived.

Having delivered a message once before, this second time requires no coordinate token for the corresponding magical wardrobe.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive shots exploded on the Skull Scythe Lord's skull.

Black, patterned tentacles wrapped around the magical letter and three candle stands swiftly withdrew.

"Sure enough, a two‑against‑one is comfortable."

He examined the 132 Forbidden Rule Fragments he had obtained on his trip to the forbidden lands of Saint Land.

Amid the clash of two lords, Ta Ke, having entered shadow form, lifted the Fate Revolver with one hand.

"I faithfully obey your command, my master!"

"But those fourth‑rank geniuses are still relatively easy to kill."

Or go to the deep ocean to listen to the voice of the world's source.

Demon!

The demon's ringed staff responded along with the steam source energy.

"My great master, what is your command!"

The flame demon lord's signature lava, evil, bloody, and brutal aura surged outward like viscous waves in all directions.

"Without a life source, attacking a target cannot magically generate a life source."

But! Times are changing, and our sky‑pirate crew cannot fall behind.

"It cannot draw any life source at all."

A crisp sound rang as bone‑like feet struck the ground.

"…"

At this moment, Flame Demon Lord Hetara stood five to six meters tall.

Then the level‑36 flame demon Hetara emerged from the flames.

"Clack…"

"But I used my World alignment to match the local currents, entered early, and eliminated the guardian of this Forbidden Curtain Stage."

No one matches his talent in mastering the Nether Blood Sea!

Regarding the werewolf clan of the Totem Sanctuary.

"The method of pulling people is still very overbearing."

Ta Ke shook his head and immediately sheathed the Fate Revolver.

His body was swiftly absorbed by the massive Forbidden Curtain Stage.

Ta Ke felt as if he had entered a land of giants.

Fourth‑rank bloodline aristocrat "Louis", a Nether Rune prodigy and darling of the Nether Blood Sea.

There are even rumors that this Al'ermang possesses an S‑rank transcendent talent—hard to confirm—but his hype and the sheer strength of Al'ermang's own talent led him to forge a legendary weapon early on.

As the "Boom" footsteps faded away.

Watching the flame demon grind the Skull Scythe Lord into the ground.

This made the flame demon display a completely overwhelming stance.

"If it's on me, I have to run too."

Looking around, the massive marble floor stretched endlessly.

"Clack…"

"I currently have 131 fragments; summoning a fourth‑rank transcendent requires four fragments."

But there is still a gap between lords.

After the Skull Scythe Lord's death.

Besides these top geniuses, there are also many other highly talented individuals.

After all, Forbidden Rule Fragments are scarce, and no idle‑gathering method has been opened yet.

Soon, the thin golden light outside the magical window of the wondrous cottage dimmed rapidly.

After a moment of thought, Ta Ke mobilized his World power and began actively aligning with the powerful forbidden curse.

Demon breath, soul shock, tail‑whip slashes, demon claws, demon flames burning…

Write to the well‑funded sky‑pirate crew; they will likely seize the opportunity, stockpile a batch of Steam Cores, and when Ta Ke becomes wealthy, he can purchase directly from them.

They have all become dangerous.

Feeling the Fate Revolver in his hand, Ta Ke shook his head.

"Thus the Forbidden Curtain Stage was left vacant."

About a few minutes later.

"Kill him!"

Ta Ke slowly ended his spirit‑sense, and a faint sharp glint flickered deep within his eyes.

Before long, that originally murderous, even occasionally spying on Ta Ke, Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord had already become level 38.

It naturally possesses the powerful "Heroic Spirit State," bearing the traits of an immortal heroic spirit.

Ta Ke feels the Fate Revolver; this strike did not draw the source of life for Ta Ke.

The level‑38 Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord sensed Ta Ke, who was taking the Curtain Challenge, and it tracked him.

Holding the Demon Ring Staff, Ta Ke, a soul of a demon, can resurrect it again.

Ta Ke silently contemplated several feasible plans!

"An ecological war is about to erupt; harnessing the power of steam ecology can fully use forbidden fragments to capture people."

Ta Ke's own flame damage is already extremely strong, especially when combined with light power.

"Its very existence is real, and it also influences the surrounding world."

"On an ownerless stage, I can take the initiative to occupy it, effectively making me half the master of the Curtain stage."

Stocking up a batch now will definitely not lose.

We must follow the trajectory of the era's tide to become bigger and stronger, and create new brilliance!

So… I think forming a new pirate crew is necessary.

After this long period of relentless killing and drawing the lava and flame sources from Saint Land's "Lava Furnace Tree Stump," the fire demon Hetara has already restored to its peak condition, even gaining a level.

Just as Ta Ke was sizing up this massive forbidden Curtain stage.

As the surrounding twisted, hazy, strange lines rapidly converged, the scene gradually solidified, then coalesced into a massive curtain‑dropping forbidden stage.

Although an attack of this magnitude cannot cause much damage to the Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord, it does hinder its counter‑attack and defense rhythm.

Clearly, that Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord hesitated.

Obviously, the Steam Core's price has not risen yet.

The forbidden Curtain stage is huge; just a marble‑like floor alone spans roughly hundreds of square meters.

A dozen minutes later.

A fire circle on the right side of Ta Ke's hand quickly rose, and the sharp scent of lava and sulfur rapidly spread.

And the situation was indeed so; once the two clashed, the fire demon Hetara unsurprisingly took the upper hand.

"Boom!"

With fire‑oil bombs one after another, they drenched the Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord's body.

"Then let the enemy and I complete the forbidden rule process of this forbidden Curtain Curtain stage."

"I have offended many, many people in Saint Land; those who want to kill me could fill three streets.

But now.

Soon, the footsteps stopped.

Currently, the Duchy of Serion has opened the World Passage; further expansion will greatly open it to the outside, and then a massive influx of exotic transcendent beings will ride the wind into the Aogu Twin Star Transcendent Realm.

Although both are lords.

Ta Ke used the system's point allocation to reduce one rule fragment from this forbidden‑rule Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord.

Then, in front of him, water dripped and streamed across his palm.

"This also matches the traits of a death‑grade forbidden seal, which can easily bring death to the enemy."

In a sense, this also counts as a de facto "undying body."

He began to unleash his own light‑infused Nightmare Fire Oil Bomb, assisting fire demon Hetara in attacking the Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord.

Fire demon Hetara seized the opportunity to assault fiercely, causing the Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord to retreat step by step.

Ta Ke glanced at the Skeleton Scythe Blade Lord and gave a calm order.

Feeling the massive forbidden Curtain stage in detail, Ta Ke's thoughts gradually cleared.

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth traced a faint, blood‑stained, cruel smile.

"Boom!"

"Buzz…"

"If we add a Magic Spider Lord, that would be about it."

"Also… we need to obtain concrete information on these geniuses, at least know what they look like."

"Hmm… seems we'll have to trouble Bishop Masha or Bevis again."
