...
The first four items had nearly drained the Soul Coins in Su Xiao's possession, leaving only a little over a thousand. Was this a coincidence? Su Xiao felt it was impossible; there was no such good fortune in the world.
"Reason?"
Su Xiao looked at the Mushroom Prophet before him, who still wore that kind and gentle expression.
"I have witnessed the collapse of many worlds—Ancient Gods, the withering of natural elements, the spread of deathly silence. Countless living beings have perished. They all had wisdom, ideals, people they cared for, things they yearned for. Yet in an instant, everything crumbled into dust. All returned to nothing, and what was once beautiful was left as mere remnants.
"I will not go to other worlds anymore. Perhaps in a few thousand years, I will die of old age here. What use are these precious things to me now?
"Law Destroyer, the number of beings you have killed horrifies me. You are evil, a blood-soaked slaughterer, a butcher. But... compared to all life being wiped out, as long as the world still exists, that is enough. Let those evils that gnaw at the world be slaughtered by the killer. That is not so bad either. What do you say... am I right, Shadow of Law Destruction from Reincarnation Paradise?"
The Mushroom Prophet seemed to be smiling faintly.
Su Xiao stared at the Mushroom Prophet. He felt that the symbol formed by scars on the other's head looked familiar. He had seen that symbol on a certain blade.
Suddenly, Su Xiao recalled that the symbol formed by scars was exactly the seal on Mawen Hua'erzi's sword.
"Do you know Mawen Hua'erzi?"
"Well..."
"Thank him for me."
"Hmm..."
The Mushroom Prophet fell silent. Everything it had said earlier was nonsense. After all, it had been beaten up and nearly thrown into a ruined world by a few unscrupulous fellows. That was a very embarrassing matter, especially the line: 'Mushroom, next time you see a Law Destroyer, sell your stuff cheap, or we'll stew you and feed you to the dogs.'
The Mushroom Prophet could never bring itself to say these things. As an ancient being, it valued its face greatly. Its earlier talk of detachment from worldly affairs and world collapse were all excuses. Three months ago, the Mushroom Prophet had still visited other worlds.
Su Xiao looked at the items on the list. He felt this was rare. For so long, this was the first time he had gained convenience from being a Law Destroyer. Previously, he had only ever encountered enemies of the Law Destroyers, especially a certain female Law Destroyer who had made the most enemies.
With plenty of Soul Coins, Su Xiao decided to buy all four items.
[You have obtained: Divine Bone (Immortal Rank).]
[You have obtained: World Key.]
[You have obtained: Ancient Killing Ring (Holy Spirit Rank · Ring).]
[You have obtained: Life Source.]
[You have paid: 11,300 Soul Coins.]
...
The Soul Coins he had accumulated were instantly depleted. Overall, this was a huge profit, especially the [Life Source], which was a very high-tier item. White Bull would take as much as he could get, no questions asked.
After bidding farewell to the Mushroom Prophet, Su Xiao led Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and a group of cursed people deeper into the Spore Forest.
After traveling for about half an hour, faint light appeared in the dense forest ahead—sunlight filtering through the leaves.
Emerging from the forest, the glaring sunlight made Su Xiao squint. The view opened up before him. The central area of Eternal Life Island was a vast basin terrain, with a ring river several meters wide encircling the center.
[Warning: The Hunter has entered the world's ultra-high-risk zone: Eternal Life Island Central Area · Ring Basin.]
Su Xiao gazed into the basin. He could vaguely see a mountain peak. Inside that mountain, which stood about three hundred meters tall and extended several kilometers outward, there was a cave. The Primordial Water and the final boss were inside.
Su Xiao had always wanted to figure out one question: Could the Primordial Water withstand explosions? If it could, then he had a bold plan.
The Duke's forces, the Empress's forces, Nether Wolf, Alec, the Dual Poison Duo (severely injured), the Warden Squad, and others—these people besieging the final boss was an inevitable situation. Su Xiao would also participate.
If the Primordial Water could withstand explosions, then when these people were in the heat of battle against the final boss, what would happen if he tossed a [Blazing Sun's Wrath · Apollo] into that cave?
