# Chapter 3: Su Xiao as a Law Destroyer, Possessing an Unreachable "Abyss Resistance"
These three factors combined made the Archbishop of the Abyss so certain that the Moon Witch would invite Su Xiao. Consequently, the Archbishop of the Abyss decisively prepared to use Dark Blood to clean up the three leaders of the Dark God Cult in this world.
The Archbishop of the Abyss knew Su Xiao was coming, so why didn't he tell Shenfu and the Platinum Apostle earlier? Ultimately, compared to these two Violators, the Archbishop of the Abyss's desire to go to "Dawn Paradise" was not urgent. He cared more about whether he could develop the Dark God Cult in some world, thereby restoring his former strength as a Supreme Strong.
The Archbishop of the Abyss's concealment resulted in mutual wariness between Su Xiao and Shenfu's group. Their respective thoughts were: "This Law Destroyer won't suddenly screw us over, right?" and "Will these three guys backstab me?"
On the surface, Su Xiao was one against three, destined for complete defeat. He himself always thought so. Yet the marvelous thing was that when the covert confrontation actually occurred, he actually had the advantage. The reason was that Su Xiao had cooperated with Shenfu more than once.
Leveraging this, Su Xiao used an extremely simple and loophole-ridden open scheme. He personally wrote a secret letter and, through the powerful intelligence channels of the Serin Family, did his best to deliver it to Shenfu. Even if it didn't reach Shenfu himself, it would reach his pawns. Ultimately, the letter reached the Pseudo World Child·Ageye, and later reached Shenfu.
This letter couldn't possibly be hidden from the eyes of the Platinum Apostle and the Archbishop of the Abyss. Both clearly knew this was Su Xiao's deliberate open scheme to disgust them.
The problem was that Shenfu might actually agree to this cooperation. Shenfu had always had vague allegiances. He only cared about whether he could become the beneficiary. Hatred, grudges, etc., had nothing to do with him.
The simplest example was that Su Xiao had "killed" Shenfu more than once, yet later, Shenfu would still cooperate with Su Xiao when interests aligned. When both sides' interests were consistent, Shenfu was very reliable. In fact, compared to those rebels with ideals, ambitions, and firm convictions, a guy like Shenfu was more likely to laugh last.
Shenfu could help the World Child throughout, and the moment the World Child succeeded, Ancient God tentacles would surge out and devour the World Child clean. Or he could remain hostile to the World Child throughout, and in the end, reveal that he was actually the World Child's long-lost father, and all this was to test him.
If Su Xiao was a Contract Grandmaster and the Platinum Apostle was a Fate Grandmaster, then Shenfu was definitely a Betray-Teammate Grandmaster. The number of Violators he had screwed over was probably 2-3 times the number Su Xiao had killed. Just from the Treeborn World incident, one could see Shenfu's methods of betraying teammates.
Therefore, Su Xiao's loophole-ridden open scheme immediately left the Platinum Apostle and the Archbishop of the Abyss speechless. For a time, they found it somewhat difficult to deal with. However, for these three super old yin schemers, this ultimately wasn't a major problem. They just needed to find a scapegoat. And that's right, the scapegoat was the Calamity Legion.
The Calamity Legion's situation was quite bad. They had already invaded all the worlds they could. The remaining ones were all hard bones to crack. Moreover, even if they cracked one, it would only prolong the Calamity Legion's life. To truly transform and reach the level of a World-Destroying race, invading the Witch Realm to seize the highest-level World Force was the most feasible method. As for subsequent retaliation, World-Destroying races cared least about that.
When the plans of Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss progressed to a certain point, the next step was to eliminate Su Xiao, this great enemy. Especially since Su Xiao had successfully defeated the Ancient King, the fortune trend of the Witch Realm had gathered upon him in a short time. If not for the Law Destruction fortune being too inexplicable, the Witch Realm might have directly boosted Su Xiao's combat power. This was the weight of defeating the Ancient King + holding the Astral Disk + four portions of Dark Blood for this world.
At this point, allying with the Corrupt Lord seemed particularly prescient. This was also why, not long after Su Xiao defeated the Ancient King, the Corrupt Lord, with the assistance of Shenfu's group, brazenly invaded the Witch Realm.
What happened next was exactly what Shenfu's group wanted to test: whether Su Xiao could bring the Demon Insect Race to the Witch Realm. The result was millions of Demon Flame Dragons blotting out the sky over Giant Armor City.
After seeing this, Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss's attitude toward the Corrupt Lord was: "You hold on first. We three are leaving now. Goodbye, oh no, farewell forever."
As for Shenfu's group later going to Green Shade Star to participate in the parliament convened by the Corrupt Lord, that was even more interesting. Shenfu sent a doppelganger. This doppelganger ability was extremely powerful. In each world, he could split off two doppelgangers, each with 90% of his combat power. The downside was that once one died, it was permanently lost. The upside was that even perception-specialized beings couldn't distinguish it from the real body.
The Archbishop of the Abyss went with his main body, but this guy was conceptually undying. Plus, his purpose was clear: to trick a batch of core members and later make the Dark God Cult rise in Wind Sea Continent.
As for the Platinum Apostle, his methods were even more unexpected. The Platinum Apostle who went at that time was a "Platinum Apostle" who believed himself to be the Platinum Apostle. In reality, he was just a pitiful person whose fate had been completely devoured, turned into a puppet of the Platinum Apostle. Therefore, the Platinum Apostle showed some flaws at this parliament, but he still completed the "Preset Instructions" of the Platinum Apostle. The double act with Shenfu was all performed.
From this, it could be seen that at that time, Shenfu's group all tacitly believed that the Corrupt Lord had no chance to turn things around.
Under the large umbrella by the lake, after listening to Baha's explanation, Alanna was completely numb. She took a sip of honey lemon water to calm herself. Her only feeling was that old yin schemers were really terrifying.
"Mr. Bai Ye, you must be more vigilant against these insidious guys in the future."
When Alanna said this, Baha immediately tilted his head back to suppress his laughter. His thought was, this kid is really honest, but she seemed to have forgotten who was playing the game of mutual deception with those three super old yin schemers and developing the current situation.
"Uh~, Mr. Bai Ye, I didn't mean you were insidious. Ah no, I mean, woo~, this, uh~"
Alanna only made things worse and finally pretended nothing had happened.
Just then, the water jug on the cold drink table made a strange noise. Then the liquid inside multiplied, swelling the jug into a strange shape. Eyes grew on it. This was a dark creature called Drowning Shadow, a lower-level individual among Abyss creatures. As a Law Destroyer, Su Xiao absolutely couldn't avoid the Abyss. Instead, he maintained sufficient reverence and actively sought to understand it.
For example, this dark creature called Drowning Shadow had the strongest perception of "Resentment Intent." Su Xiao couldn't communicate with it directly, but he could achieve this through a contract. He established a contract with Drowning Shadow without any penalty. Drowning Shadow would help him find a specified "Resentment Intent," and in return, he would give it a small piece of Black Maple Tree branch.
Su Xiao took out a small piece of Black Maple Tree branch, smooth as jade, and tossed it to the deformed water jug. Drowning Shadow's mouth opened to nearly one meter in size, swallowed it in one gulp, and then the deformed water jug began to shrivel, spiraling and contracting until it turned into a metal lump the size of a marble. It fell with a pata onto the table, and black-blue resentment smoke spread from it.
The souls of intelligent beings were both fragile and powerful. Fragile in that after the body died, the soul would dissipate in 99.99% of cases. Powerful in that if there was strong unwillingness and resentment, it would leave certain traces at the place of death. These traces were like a small patch of black dye staining the world canvas. Unless someone forcibly tore off this piece of the world canvas, they could only wait for it to slowly dissipate. And tearing off a piece of the Witch Realm's world would come at a great cost, immediately alerting the Battle Witches.
Being targeted by Battle Witches was no joke. Why did the Ancient Gods fear the Witch Realm? It was because of their old opponents, the Battle Witches.
Under Su Xiao's control, the metal lump left by the dark creature Drowning Shadow flew over. He held it with both hands, pulled it apart, and with a dong of soul impact, several soul memory fragments were extracted from these resentments.
Bubu Wang had already adjusted the equipment. Using an old-fashioned camera filled with viscous liquid, it recorded these soul memory image fragments with a pa sound. More precisely, it used the sprayed viscous liquid to seal these soul memory image fragments.
Su Xiao examined them one by one. These were the last images the deceased saw. Among the shattered scenes were half a hand holding a heart, a chandelier, and a wall with a clock hanging on it.
After a simple observation, Su Xiao had Alanna go find Serin. Soon, Serin arrived with two clan members, one old and one young. The old man put a magnifying lens on his right eye and began examining these soul memory image fragments. After writing and drawing, he reached a conclusion. The location in these images had a three-layer probability of being Dog Butcher Street in Giant Armor City and a seven-layer probability of being the back alley of Sky City·Bottom City·Back Street.
Su Xiao formed a "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array" beneath his feet. After confirming that the spatial coordinates of the Sky City ruins still existed, he activated the teleportation array and went to Sky City with Bubu Wang and Baha.
When the spatial mist dissipated, the scene before them was all scorched black, burned by dragonflame. Su Xiao dragged several soul memories with one hand. Upon arriving here, these soul memories emitted a faint glow. Using this as a guide, he soon arrived at the original location of Bottom City·Back Street·Alley.
It was in this area that Shenfu and the Platinum Apostle killed the Pseudo World Child·Ageye, his fiancée·Mo·Sitaxi, and the Fierce Winter Sword·Emu.
One could imagine the despair Ageye experienced at that time to leave such strong soul resentment.
Su Xiao took out a sealed bottle of World Force, opened it, and poured it onto the location of Ageye's resentment. A black light particle gradually condensed, grew larger, but as more World Force was poured on, this black light particle transformed into the light gold representing a Pseudo World Child, then slowly formed a mark.
This mark was very natural, like the rings of a tree or the texture of rock, as if made by heaven. This was the last trace left by the Pseudo World Child.
Alone, this Pseudo World Child's mark was not enough to meet Su Xiao's expectations. This thing could only be considered an initial template. He again formed a "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array." When the teleportation was complete, he had arrived at a manor in the Ancient King City.
Just as he arrived, Su Xiao heard the enthusiastic laughter of the Great Noble·Xiao. He asked, "Ready?"
"Of course, this way."
The astonishingly obese Great Noble·Xiao was riding a spotted hippopotamus. Years ago, he had saved this transcendent creature's life. In gratitude for Xiao's kindness, the spotted hippopotamus agreed to be Xiao's mount and bodyguard for thirty years.
The group arrived at the backyard, where a giant formation diagram was presented before them. This was an amplification-type alchemy array. Su Xiao provided the blueprint, Xiao provided the resources. In dealing with the Calamity Legion, Xiao was exceptionally generous, clearly understanding that once the Wizard faction declined, he wouldn't fare well either.
Su Xiao activated the array beneath his feet. The amplification-type alchemy array detached from the ground and converged toward the golden mark in his hand, amplifying this Pseudo World Child's "Fate Mark" into a one-time "Devouring Mark."
The difference between the two was that the "Fate Mark" could only passively accept the World Force bestowed by its located world, i.e., the Witch Realm. The "Devouring Mark" could turn passivity into initiative, actively devouring the Witch Realm's World Force.
The "Devouring Mark" floated up and was grasped in Su Xiao's hand. This mark was not for his own use but was prepared for the big guy about to descend into this world. With this move, he would make Shenfu, the Platinum Apostle, and the Archbishop of the Abyss lose everything.
