Chapter 35: Breaking Free
Inside the secret chamber, Su Xiao looked at the Scarlet Scepter on the display stand ahead. Even though the scepter's exterior was sealed with a layer of World Tree resin, his extensive experience in identifying Original Sin Objects allowed him to see at a glance that this item was definitely a Daddy-level Original Sin Object.
'Original Sin Objects are extremely rare across the myriad realms, and Daddy-level Original Sin Objects are even fewer, only a handful exist.'
'Ordinary strong individuals might never encounter a single Original Sin Object in their entire lives.'
'99.99% of living beings will never have any contact with an Original Sin Object in their lifetime. Of course, after contact, their life will most likely come to an abrupt halt.'
'Original Sin Objects are very few in number. Even if one has the opportunity to ascend to the Supreme rank, encounters are rare in a long life, and the probability of obtaining one is even lower.'
Su Xiao's current situation constantly overturned the records about Original Sin Objects he had learned in the Soul Library. Or rather, from the moment he held the [Book of Original Sin], which sealed four Original Sin Objects, he began to suspect that those records might be problematic.
At this moment, Su Xiao confirmed one thing: those records were most likely correct. The reason he encountered so many Original Sin Objects was probably not due to bad luck, but for a more direct reason.
Su Xiao had never thought he had a constitution that attracted Original Sin Objects, nor any similar ideas. Therefore, he had to speculate from other angles why he always encountered Original Sin Objects.
First, the idea that Original Sin Objects attract each other was ruled out. As the holder of four Original Sin Objects, Su Xiao had a high say in this matter. Original Sin Objects do not attract each other. Moreover, Daddy-level Original Sin Objects actually restrain each other; otherwise, the [Book of Original Sin] would not be as stable as it is now.
After excluding this point, only one possibility remained: the Law Destruction Faction's fortune. This was the fortune of an entire faction concentrated onto a single person.
From what Green Gillian said earlier, the unscrupulous mentor had once tried to wear the Nether Bone Ring and almost couldn't withstand it. This meant that the Shadow of Law Destruction and Original Sin Objects did not have too close a relationship.
Thinking this way, encountering so many Original Sin Objects should not be due to the characteristics of the Law Destruction Faction's fortune, but rather because of the sheer magnitude of this fortune.
Those with immense fortune, whether it be luck or misfortune, are more likely to encounter Original Sin Objects. This is because only a greater fortune and karma can bear an Original Sin Object and become its holder.
To make a simple analogy: an Original Sin Object requires a fortune cap of 1000 points to be held, while the fortune cap of an ordinary living being might not even reach 0.1 points, so they naturally are not qualified to hold an Original Sin Object.
Conversely, if the fortune cap is several thousand points or more, then once they enter a world where an Original Sin Object exists, the two sides will attract each other. At least before they meet, they will attract each other on the level of karma.
This attraction only lasts until Su Xiao encounters the Original Sin Object. When the two sides meet, they begin to dislike each other. What's more troubling is that their karmic threads are already entangled. The Original Sin Object can't kill Su Xiao, and Su Xiao can't destroy the Original Sin Object, so they have to leave it at that for now.
If this were truly the case, then he might not encounter any more Original Sin Objects in the future. Because holding each Original Sin Object occupies a certain amount of fortune cap. Once the fortune cap is full, it would naturally be impossible to encounter new Original Sin Objects.
Looking at the Scarlet Scepter ahead, Su Xiao estimated that this might be the last Original Sin Object he would encounter. Yes, that was right, it must be so. Thinking of this, his mood improved significantly.
Su Xiao certainly did not intend to hold the Scarlet Scepter. He looked at the Dead Silence Ember located on the middle shelf of the display stand. That was his real goal. He still had to deal with the Four Giants of the Lightless Temple later. Any means to enhance his own combat power could not be missed, let alone such a significant enhancement.
Crack, crack, crack~
A crystal layer climbed onto Su Xiao's right hand. He raised his hand to grasp the Dead Silence Ember.
Slap!
A scarlet arc of electricity flashed. The crystal layer on Su Xiao's hand shattered, and large patches of burns appeared on the skin of his right hand. However, in the blink of an eye, the wounds on his hand began to heal. This was the recovery power derived from a million Health Points. Because the recovery speed was so fast, a hissing sound came from the healing area. Due to the high activity of the cells, wisps of white mist rose and dissipated.
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed that the situation with the Dead Silence Ember was somewhat special. It seemed connected to the Scarlet Scepter, yet also seemed capable of being separated.
After careful observation, he found that the surface of the Dead Silence Ember had a layer of World Tree resin. However, this layer of resin was being eroded at a slow rate. It seemed that before long, the scarlet power flowing down from the Scarlet Scepter would begin to erode the Dead Silence Ember.
This situation confirmed one thing for Su Xiao: this was an open scheme jointly set up by Shenfu and the Scarlet Faction. However, this setup had not yet been activated. The two parties did not expect him to arrive so early.
Shenfu knew that Su Xiao had the Black King Bracer. In fact, last time in Dead Silence City, Su Xiao had even met Shenfu, and at that time, both sides decided to temporarily keep their distance.
Knowing that Su Xiao had the Black King Bracer, it was not difficult for Shenfu to guess that Su Xiao would be very interested in the Dead Silence Ember here, and even very eager to obtain one of the strongest weapons from Dead Silence City.
Therefore, using the Dead Silence Ember as bait was an excellent choice. The problem was that this weapon was extremely precious. Several leaders of the Scarlet Faction disagreed with using such a valuable item as bait.
Shenfu's other proposal immediately gained the Scarlet Faction's agreement: at a suitable time, sacrifice the Dead Silence Ember, wrapped in World Tree resin, to the Scarlet Scepter. In this way, due to the protection of the World Tree resin, this would not succeed immediately. However, if one wanted to obtain the Dead Silence Ember, they would first have to deal with the Scarlet Scepter. The current situation was that the Dead Silence Ember was almost within the Scarlet Scepter's grasp.
This meant that if one did not want to watch the Scarlet Scepter devour the Dead Silence Ember, they would have to become the holder of this scepter to interrupt this process.
This was also the reason the Scarlet Faction was willing to bring out the Scarlet Scepter. It was indeed the symbol of their monarch. The problem was that their monarch was currently trapped in the Nightmare Seal. No one in the entire Scarlet Faction was qualified to lift the Scarlet Scepter. The direct result of this was that the Scarlet Faction had to expend a massive amount of resources to prevent this Daddy-level item from devouring their Primordial Life Force.
Not only that, they also had to frequently go out to hunt powerful creatures of this world, such as aberrant demons and mutants, send these monsters to the guillotine, then use the Blood Pattern Disk to extract their Primordial Life Force, and continuously offer this Primordial Life Force to the Scarlet Scepter to prevent this Daddy-level item from harming them.
Over the years, the people of the Scarlet Faction had long stopped treating this item as a sacred object. If they could send this Daddy-level item away, they would laugh in their dreams. As for what to do after breaking the seal of their supreme monarch? Let the monarch retrieve this Original Sin Object themselves. They couldn't hold on any longer.
Therefore, the several leaders of the Scarlet Faction immediately agreed to Shenfu's plan. Moreover, they were mortal enemies with the Law Destruction Faction, even more so than Shenfu.
After the trap was properly set, they naturally waited for Su Xiao, the Law Destroyer, to step into it. However, before Su Xiao could step into the trap, the Star Devourer stepped on it first.
The Star Devourer immediately thought that the Scarlet Faction was wary of its intelligence, hence setting up such a trap to besiege it.
The Scarlet Faction was furious, but since the other party had already attacked, they couldn't just let it go. So the two sides started fighting, and in the end, even Shenfu had to intervene.
The reason this plan failed was that the Scarlet Faction did not know that Su Xiao had obtained the Tyrant's [Scarlet Ring (Fake)], and used this item to enter the Scarlet Temple through a side back door.
Did Shenfu really intend to use this trap to eliminate Su Xiao? Of course not. From start to finish, Shenfu never thought this trap would succeed. His real goal was to have Su Xiao hold back the Scarlet Faction.
In other words, he wanted Su Xiao and the Scarlet Faction to mutually restrain each other. Only then could Shenfu accomplish his real goal here.
What was the most difficult aspect of dealing with Shenfu? It was the current situation. Clearly knowing that this old fellow was plotting something big, yet being unable to stop him, because stopping him would mean giving up the Dead Silence Ember.
Su Xiao grabbed the Scarlet Scepter with one hand. The next second, tentacle-like scarlet power burst out from the scepter and surged towards Su Xiao. Almost simultaneously, four colors of energy—dark gold, deathly gray, ghostly green, and black-red—erupted from the [Book of Original Sin] in Su Xiao's hand.
Dark gold was the Collector, deathly gray was the Necronomicon, ghostly green was the Nether Bone Ring, and black-red was the Soul Crown.
The energy fluctuations of the four Original Sin Objects completely blocked the incoming scarlet tentacles, and even coiled around the Scarlet Scepter.
Why did the four Original Sin Objects, which had always disliked Su Xiao, suddenly act out of character? Because this was the Eternal Light World. If Su Xiao died here, these four Original Sin Objects would also find it difficult to leave this place. Original Sin Objects have a characteristic: without a holder, they will remain dormant in place.
This was also why Original Sin Objects were extremely powerful yet did not easily bring disaster. As long as no one touched them, most Original Sin Objects were not very dangerous. Disasters related to Original Sin Objects always involved a user whose heart harbored disaster.
Su Xiao grasped the Scarlet Scepter with one hand. In truth, even without the obstruction of the four Original Sin Objects, he would not have been killed by the Scarlet Scepter. The [Fearless Shadow] ability was not just for show.
The moment he grasped the Scarlet Scepter, the scene before Su Xiao's eyes changed drastically. He stood on a land that seemed stained by blood, appearing dark red. The sky seemed to burn with blood flames, and the entire sky slowly burning was an especially shocking sight.
The ground was cold, corroding, and breeding.
The sky was blood flames, burning, and boiling.
These were two completely different characteristics of the scarlet power, and both were forces within easy reach at this moment.
Su Xiao's eyes suddenly snapped open. The surrounding scene disappeared. The [Book of Original Sin] floating beside him emitted a black light. He stuffed the scepter in his hand into this black light.
When everything calmed down, the Scarlet Scepter was sealed on the fifth page of the [Book of Original Sin]. Su Xiao discovered one thing: he had not become the holder of this Original Sin Object. The reason was that the holder of this Original Sin Object was not yet dead, and the other party had not severed their karmic connection with this Original Sin Object.
Nevertheless, Su Xiao had temporarily sealed this Original Sin Object. He picked up the Dead Silence Ember from the display stand and peeled off the severely eroded World Tree resin on its surface. The next moment, the Black King Bracer and the Dead Silence Ember simultaneously erupted with Dead Silence energy.
This caused the Dead Silence Ember to melt like metal and fuse into the Black King Bracer. With a bang, a powerful Dead Silence fluctuation erupted centered on the Black King Bracer.
Su Xiao used his right hand to pick up the black fruit at the bottom of the display stand. Finding that this item could not be stored in his storage space for the time being, he tossed it to Baha and told Baha and Bubu Wang to leave this place immediately.
Seeing Bubu Wang and Baha turn and run without hesitation, the Dark Devourer was stunned for a moment before following suit, disappearing in the blink of an eye at the hall's entrance.
Su Xiao staggered out of the secret chamber and arrived at the main hall where the slaughter had just taken place. Because his footing was unstable, his left hand, wearing the Black King Bracer, supported himself against a stone pillar. But in an instant, the stone pillar weathered, decayed, and turned to ashes, scattering.
Dead Silence energy suddenly surged out from the Black King Bracer. This meant that the seal of the [Dead Silence Origin] was breaking. Of the total five layers of seals, three disappeared in an instant.
The surging Dead Silence power continuously assimilated the surroundings, turning this place into Dead Silence City. To the point that Tree Erosion was about to emerge from the decaying mist, but ultimately could not arrive here due to the world's seal.
Su Xiao could feel that although the Dead Silence power continuously spreading up his left arm was powerful, with his Soul Strength of 860 points, he was enough to suppress the [Dead Silence Origin] with two layers of seals remaining. As long as he had some more time to raise his Soul Strength to...
This thought had just appeared when the seals inside the Black King Bracer were all suddenly released. A buzzing sound rang in Su Xiao's ears. When his vision cleared, he found himself on a desolate plain. Ash-like flocculent substances drifted with the wind.
At some point, Su Xiao was already sitting on an ancient gray stone throne. His forearm, wearing the Black King Bracer, rested on the throne's armrest. The phantom of the Eternal God was behind the throne, the Choir was on the left side, and the Wolf Cavalry was on the right. The Archbishop, High Priest, Rogue Warrior, Black King, Day King, and others were all behind the throne.
Looking around, everything within sight was kneeling Tree Erosion, People of Death, Dark Mediums, and so on. The sight was boundless.
The [Dead Silence Origin], like an energy core, floated in front of Su Xiao, within easy reach. He raised his hand to grab the [Dead Silence Origin], but just as he was about to grasp it, his movement came to an abrupt halt.
Cyan Steel Shadow energy gathered on his left hand. Then he grasped the [Dead Silence Origin]. The surrounding scene began to collapse and dissipate.
Su Xiao opened his eyes and sensed the situation of the Black King Bracer. The full release of the seals was only temporary, lasting a very short time. For now, the [Dead Silence Origin] was again under two layers of seals, very stable.
Looking around, the surroundings had been assimilated by Dead Silence. The corpses of the Red Eye Knights had become as withered as the People of Death. These were not the main point. The main point was a broken hole a few meters away.
This broken hole was arched, about five meters high in total, with jagged edges. It felt as if space had been broken through to reach this place. After Su Xiao examined it, his expression became increasingly serious.
If this were just a spatial hole, he wouldn't care. But this spatial hole contained a strong sense of nightmare. This feeling clearly indicated that something had taken advantage of the time when his consciousness was struggling against the Dead Silence to escape from the nightmare and enter the material world.
Su Xiao's first reaction was that the Scarlet Monarch had broken free. But upon second thought, that was wrong. The Scarlet Monarch was sealed deep within the Sand Sea, not here.
This Scarlet Temple was very special. It had a close connection with the Scarlet Monarch. The Scarlet Monarch being sealed in the Nightmare Land caused this building to also have nightmare and dream characteristics.
Therefore, the Sanctuary City girl, Yousha, who was related to the Scarlet, would come here as a spiritual body after entering a dream.
Precisely because this place was related to dreams and nightmares, Su Xiao had used all his soul power and mental power to suppress the Dead Silence. Meanwhile, the existence that had been trapped in the nightmare because of him took the opportunity to break free of its restraints. This was... Su Xiao's projection in the nightmare, an almost unsolvable existence in the nightmare, the Nightmare Blood Shadow!
To confirm this idea, Su Xiao took out [Ashes].
[Ashes]
Origin: Gloomy Continent/Abyss.
Effect: After scattering, it can reveal whether there are traces of an 'Original Sin Object' or if an 'Abyss Spawn' has passed through this place.
...
As the ashes scattered, a phantom gradually emerged. This phantom was a little over three meters tall. Faint blood smoke rose from its body. Its upper body was bare, and its lower body was covered in ragged cloth strips like a skirt, almost touching the ground. Its long hair was messy and disheveled, hanging past its waist. The lower half of its face was covered with a bone mask that fit tightly against its skin. There were several air holes at the mouth of the mask.
This figure held a blood-colored longsword. The entire sword was over 1.6 meters long. The hilt was on the long side, at least 40 centimeters in length, wrapped in dark red bandages, with a skull-shaped end.
This was the Nightmare Blood Shadow. It was the terrifying existence that had been projected due to Su Xiao's nightmare. The reason the Greed Chapter could form a Nightmare Blood Shadow as a substitute fighter was that there was a real Nightmare Blood Shadow within the nightmare. Ultimately, the characteristic of the Greed Chapter was imitation. The Nightmare Blood Shadow inside was not real.
When the Nightmare Blood Shadow was first projected by the nightmare, it was similar to Su Xiao, whether in clothing, the weapon used, or abilities, with over ninety percent similarity.
But as of today, the Nightmare Blood Shadow was completely different from Su Xiao. This was because, as Su Xiao grew stronger, as long as there was a world with a nightmare realm, this nightmare would continuously project his growth onto the Nightmare Blood Shadow. In other words, the stronger Su Xiao became, the stronger his Nightmare Blood Shadow became.
If it were only this, the Nightmare Blood Shadow would not be so terrifying. The crux of the problem was that the process of Su Xiao holding Original Sin Objects was also projected by the nightmare. That is to say, every time he held an Original Sin Object, the Nightmare Blood Shadow would be projected to become even stronger.
The more Original Sin Objects Su Xiao held, the stronger the Nightmare Blood Shadow became. For this reason, the appearance of this Nightmare Blood Shadow gradually differed from Su Xiao, finally reaching the current disparity.
Being able to capture the trace of the Nightmare Blood Shadow through [Ashes] was also because of its connection to the characteristics of Original Sin Objects. As for why it did not kill Su Xiao while he was enveloped by the Dead Silence, this was not surprising. Just now, Su Xiao was nearly swallowed by the [Dead Silence Origin]. Under such circumstances, the Nightmare Blood Shadow would not easily make a move, so it chose to leave directly.
Now that he had obtained the Dead Silence Ember, the top priority was to find [Moonlight Radiance]. However, at this moment, he found that there were many prompts he had not yet checked.
[Warning: Your Nightmare Avatar, Nightmare Blood Shadow, has broken through the Nightmare Realm and arrived in the material world.]
Apart from this warning, there were many kill prompts, which were the rewards from killing the Red Eye Knights in this hall just now.
[You have killed fifty Red Eye Knights (Elite Units).]
[You have obtained a total of 61,820 Soul Coins.]
[You have obtained Pure Bloodstone x528 (Rare Item).]
...
The Soul Coins obtained from killing Red Eye Knights were less than those from Warrior Leaders, but the Pure Bloodstones obtained were more.
Kill rewards were like this. When killing a Boss-level target, Soul Coins were more like a bonus. Other rewards, such as treasure chests and Golden Skill Points, were the main rewards.
When killing Leader-level units, Soul Coins were the main reward, at least for Su Xiao. When he killed Leader units, treasure chests rarely dropped. In some high-yield dangerous areas, the number of Soul Coins obtained from killing Leader-level units might be more than those obtained from killing Boss-level units. This was because the former was the entire output, while the latter was just a bonus.
The current kill rewards belonged to Elite units. This type of reward was relatively balanced, with Soul Coins and area-specific special items split fifty-fifty. Overall, the kill rewards for Elite units were a notch higher than those for Leader units.
Over 500 Pure Bloodstones in total should be enough to exchange for quite a few good things. The problem was that he didn't know where the Mysterious Merchant was now. An even more troublesome problem was that if the Mysterious Merchant was unlucky, it was not impossible for him to be killed by the Nightmare Blood Shadow.
The top priority now was to find [Moonlight Radiance]. Su Xiao took out the [Navigation Compass] from his storage space. If he couldn't find [Moonlight Radiance] within six hours, he would immediately use this long-cherished item to determine the specific location of [Moonlight Radiance]. This place was not suitable for a long stay. How dangerous the Nightmare Blood Shadow was remained unknown. Moreover, the Black King Bracer was in the process of upgrading. He had to wait for this equipment to complete this upgrade before he could go all out.
Just then, black tentacles emerged on the wall. Seeing this, Su Xiao grasped his sword hilt with one hand. This was the Ancient God System. It was either Zuiyasi or Shenfu.
The black tentacles coiled into a door panel. Su Xiao released his sword hilt. This form of ability meant the one coming was Zuiyasi.
The black door opened, and Zuiyasi walked out from inside. As soon as he appeared, Zuiyasi said, "This damn place is really dangerous. I've been here for a short time and died dozens of times."
Only an undying time-type like Zuiyasi could say such a thing. As for what to do if his Primordial Life Force was eroded by the Scarlet, that was not a problem for Zuiyasi. His ultimate move was Death Reset.
For an undying time-type, no debuff was unsolvable. If dying once couldn't reset the state, then die a few more times and use the power of death to wash away the debuff.
"Bai Ye, have you found Moonlight Radiance?"
Hearing this scoundrel Zuiyasi say this, Su Xiao took out the [Navigation Compass] from his bosom and put it back into his storage space. He wouldn't need this item this time.
"No."
"Is that so? That thing should be quite hard to find. But it seems I've discovered the general location of that thing."
A hint of a smile appeared on Zuiyasi's face.
"..."
Su Xiao was silent for a moment, then thought of a countermeasure. Zuiyasi still owed him 1624 Precipitated Glass.
"Tell me the general location of Moonlight Radiance, and I'll waive 10% of the Precipitated Glass you owe me."
"Well~"
Zuiyasi raised his hand and touched his nose, looking like this was a difficult matter.
"Tell me the exact location, and I'll waive 50%."
"I would like to, but..."
Zuiyasi rubbed his chin, hesitating.
"Hand it over. You don't have to pay back a single one."
"Alright."
Zuiyasi said, then took out [Moonlight Radiance] from a ring-shaped space ring and tossed it to Su Xiao. This was the work efficiency of a 'good teammate.' As long as the benefits were sufficient, even if the matter was tricky, they could find a way to handle it.
Su Xiao caught [Moonlight Radiance] with one hand and then crushed it with a crack. Unable to determine whether this item had been tampered with by the Tyrant or others, destroying it was the best choice.
"Bai Ye, I found the treasure vault here, but I can't open it."
"Oh."
"Aren't you interested?"
Zuiyasi looked puzzled.
"Interested, but I need to leave here immediately."
"Why?"
"My Nightmare Avatar has escaped from the Nightmare Realm and come here."
Hearing this, the smile on Zuiyasi's face gradually disappeared. This guy frowned in thought for a moment and finally decided to take the risk and stay here, not because of the treasure vault.
"The weapon you're looking for is with me, the Dead Silence Ember."
"See you in Black Iron City."
Leaving this sentence, Zuiyasi walked into the tentacle door in a few steps. His goal had been achieved. As long as this weapon didn't fall into enemy hands, it was fine. Naturally, he had to make a quick escape.
Su Xiao opened the team channel and sent the news about the Nightmare Blood Shadow into the team channel. After Wude replied, within half a minute, this guy's avatar in the team went dark. This was a sign of leaving this area.
Su Xiao quickly left the hall and returned along the original path to the arched door sealed by the Scarlet Mist.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment, appeared. Baha beside him also emerged from the alternate space, bringing the Dark Devourer with him.
Seeing this, Su Xiao used the [Scarlet Ring (Fake)] to open the Scarlet Mist and walked out of the passage. As soon as he exited the Scarlet Temple, he saw a figure carrying a large wooden box and wearing a strange headpiece hurrying past ahead.
[Prompt: You have approached within 10 meters of the Mysterious Merchant. Please cherish this trading opportunity.]
[Prompt: You have exceeded 10 meters from the Mysterious Merchant.]
...
The next second, Su Xiao appeared in front of the Mysterious Merchant. The Mysterious Merchant, whose path was blocked, had an anxious look in his eyes and said, "Young man, we can trade another time. This old man needs to leave here quickly."
"Because of a Nightmare Avatar?"
Su Xiao asked tentatively.
"Oh? Have you seen that terrifying fellow too?"
"Cough~, I've only heard of it."
"Young man, something's not right. The aura of that Nightmare Avatar seems to be related to you..."
At this point, the Mysterious Merchant's expression showed a hint of shock. Even though he was well-traveled, he had indeed never seen a Nightmare Avatar with such terrifying combat power.
The Mysterious Merchant's hurried pace directly changed to a jog. Seeing this, Su Xiao activated the Watcher's Ring on his hand. This caused the Mysterious Merchant to run back backwards, asking with a hint of surprise, "Gloom Sanctuary? I'm an old friend of that old tree. If you don't mind, I'd like to visit my old friend."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He just activated the teleportation while placing one hand on his sword hilt. If the Mysterious Merchant had any suspicious behavior and intended to harm the old tree clan of the Gloom Sanctuary, regardless of whether he was a neutral unit, he would be killed with one slash. Void Tree Reputation -??? It couldn't get much lower anyway.
The spatial teleportation ended. As soon as he returned to the Gloom Sanctuary, before Su Xiao could draw his sword, the tip of a sharp sword was already pressed against the Mysterious Merchant's brow, then moved away.
Su Xiao glanced at the Dark Maiden. The Dark Maiden put away her sharp sword, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, slightly bowed to Su Xiao in greeting, then returned to her seat and slowly sipped her Maple Tea.
"The last time I was here was decades ago. Young man, do you want to do business with me? In the Eternal Light World, I only accept Bloodstones."
As he spoke, the Mysterious Merchant had already sat down on the steps by the wall and unfolded the large wooden box he always carried. Various miniaturized products were displayed. Among them, a fist-sized black [Abyss Distortion Crystal] caught Su Xiao's attention.
Seeing this item, Su Xiao's inspiration soared. He felt that this item could most likely enhance the [Greed Chapter]. The fluctuations of the two were very similar.
If successful, since the Greed Chapter could trap the fake Nightmare Blood Shadow, after strengthening it and adding external sealing runes, could it be used to trap the real Nightmare Blood Shadow?
For some reason, Su Xiao suddenly felt that a new quasi-Original Sin Object seemed not far from him. Moreover, this quasi-Original Sin Object might have a decent probability of becoming a true Original Sin Object in the future.
