# Chapter 6: Abyss Mission
[Notification: You have eliminated an Abyss Spawn (Host Species).]
[You have obtained Golden Skill Points ×6.]
[You have obtained Original Sin Core ×1 (Abyss Grade Item).]
[You have obtained Source Matter Chest (obtained with probability upon defeating a powerful enemy).]
[You have obtained Abyss Chest (★).]
...[Detected that the Hunter's elimination of the Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn was completed independently, with no combat assistance beyond personal ability (follower assistance is judged as personal combat ability in the judgment), and this elimination had no external factors affecting the comprehensive combat strength of this Abyss Spawn.]
[Judging...]
[Judgment complete, Reincarnation Paradise has verified that you possess the ability to independently eliminate Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawns. Relevant mission permissions will now be opened to you.]
[Relevant mission permissions have been opened. You are now qualified to accept "Abyss Missions."]
[Abyss Mission: This is the sixth major category of missions, separate from Main Missions, Side Missions, World Missions, War Missions, and Achievement Missions.]
[Method to activate this mission: Contact relevant characters, items, etc., in the current world, or obtain relevant intelligence after eliminating specific units.]
[Notification: Some Abyss Missions can be executed as chain missions.]
[You have triggered the Abyss Mission: Death's Grant.]
[Abyss Mission: Death's Grant.]
Difficulty Level: Lv.98 ~ ???
Mission Brief: Eliminate "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawns."
Mission Deadline: No limit.
Mission Reward: Final reward is determined based on the total number of "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawns" eliminated and their comprehensive danger/combat strength. Note: The cumulative calculation method for this mission's completion progress is: after successfully killing one target unit, the increase in mission completion progress equals "mission completion progress corresponding to the target unit's danger level" + "35% of the current existing mission completion progress."
Mission Scope: Any world.
Mission Penalty: None.
Note: This mission can be abandoned at any time. Abandoning it will result in permanent loss of eligibility to accept this mission again.
...A mission with a base difficulty of Lv.98, its danger level is self-evident. Or rather, this is not a mission that should be touched during the Absolute Strength stage. However, because Su Xiao eliminated the "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn: Mothborn," triggering the judgment mechanism, he became eligible to accept Abyss Missions. This is a major mission, and it can be accumulated indefinitely. Suppose Su Xiao successfully eliminates one "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn" and obtains 10 points of mission completion progress. Then, even if he next eliminates an "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn" of the same danger level, the increase in mission completion progress would become 10 + 3.5 points.
The more existing base mission completion progress one has, the faster the subsequent accumulation becomes. It could even reach a point where the bonus from accumulation exceeds the mission completion progress gained from eliminating a single "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn." This clearly encourages contractors to eliminate more "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawns." However, when one chooses to complete this mission, even if they can accept it again later, the mission completion progress is cleared after receiving the massive rewards. The subsequent speed of accumulating mission completion progress will be several times, or even a dozen times, slower.
Whether to be an accumulation maniac or to wait until it's fat and claim the rewards, experiencing the thrill of instant wealth—both temptations are considerable. But overall, the snowballing experience of being an accumulation maniac is more satisfying. However, there is a problem: it's easy to take this mission's completion progress into the coffin.
Organizing the kill rewards from this time, the Golden Skill Points are stored. There are now 32 points in total, which seems like a lot. But to later master "Absolute Strength Level Technique Passives," a massive amount of Golden Skill Points is needed. This is a passive skill system above "High-Level Passive" abilities. There are two thresholds: first, becoming an Absolute Strong, and second, having one's main attribute above 500 points.
The reason Su Xiao hasn't yet moved towards this type of passive ability is that his existing three "High-Level Technique Passives" haven't all been maxed out yet. Once he raises "High-Level Passive: Blood Sublimation: Life Soul" to X, he can start purchasing "Absolute Strength Level Technique Passive" skill scrolls.
These skill scrolls aren't cheap, but they are relatively easy to buy. It's not that there are few Absolute Strong in the Paradise factions; it's that leveling them up is too expensive, and they also require Golden Skill Points.
Su Xiao doesn't lack Golden Skill Points, but he is severely short on Soul Coins. "Universal Passives" are a skill tree system that devours Soul Coins especially greedily. Coupled with the need to master "Absolute Strength Level Technique Passives," the large number of Eternal Grade longswords needed to upgrade Dragon-Slaying Flash, and the upgrade costs for the Three Technique Grandmasters, the demand for resources is such that his wallet isn't just wailing—it's screaming in agony.
This time, he obtained an [Original Sin Core]. He directly took out the "Book of Original Sin" and devoured it. As for the [Source Matter Chest] and [Abyss Chest (★)], they will be dealt with later. Within the mission world, Su Xiao's luck isn't stable.
The defense battle of the underground city continued. As "Dark Night" entered 12:00 AM, the scale of the Blood Beast tide surged, and twisted, robust monsters began to appear.
That was a giant ape, over a hundred meters tall, its entire body covered in bulging muscles. It could form massive maws filled with fangs on any part of its body. When this giant ape was covered entirely in such maws and fangs, it was a sight that made one's scalp crawl. Besides the twisted, robust monsters, the smaller Bloodthirsters were what the defenders feared most. They came in various forms. Invisibility and stealth characteristics were still manageable, but mimicry-type Bloodthirsters were the real trouble. They would mimic the appearance of the defenders, and while dealing with nearby Blood Beasts, they would call for help from other nearby defenders, using this to launch sneak attacks.
In the latter half of the night, the appearance of an Abyss Creature pushed the difficulty of the defense to its peak. It was a Thunder Devourer, over thirty meters long, with dark purple lightning surging across its body. Some also called it a Thunder Beast. The danger level of Abyss Creatures is far lower than that of Abyss Spawns and Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawns. But for the defenders of the underground city, this was the big boss of the night. At 3:00 AM that night, the Thunder Beast retreated. The reason was that being stared at by Su Xiao on the semi-circular high wall made its hair stand on end.
Although Su Xiao didn't intend to help with the city's defense, he did feel that the Thunder Beast's majestic horns were quite good. Perhaps they were a rare Abyss-type material? While he was still discerning this, the Thunder Beast had already retreated due to the chilling gaze from the city wall.
This made Su Xiao feel a slight regret. As the first rays of the morning sun rose above the surface, the Blood Beasts quickly retreated. If directly exposed to sunlight, their dark red, oily skin would be scorched. The ring wall was littered with severed limbs and broken arms. The defenders began to clean the battlefield. The dead were placed into body bags made of Blood Beast hide and transported uniformly to the city's crematorium. In this situation, the underground city experienced this every week and had long since become numb.
Every defender knew one thing: only by holding the underground city could they survive. This was the last sanctuary city on the Northern Continent; there was no retreat.
At 8:00 AM that morning, inside the second-floor council hall of the Dark God Cult's Grand Cathedral.
The trusted aide who usually stood beside Dark Bishop Berheva was nowhere to be found this morning. It was said that during last night's defense, he encountered a rare Bloodthirster, which bit off half his throat on the spot. But for some unknown reason, this trusted aide managed to say with great effort before dying: "Berheva, you will die a miserable death."
It seemed that during yesterday's negotiations, when Su Xiao proposed that this trusted aide replace Berheva as city lord, this trusted aide took it very seriously. Berheva himself took it even more seriously. So, early this morning, Berheva announced to the public that he would resign from the position of city lord, and his eldest son would take over the position.
The old-timers of the city's several major families strongly opposed this. However, by noon that day, thirty percent of these old-timers had changed their tune. The remaining ones held out until evening, then also gradually changed their stance.
Achieving this effect was naturally because Su Xiao had brought his blade... ahem, naturally because Su Xiao had brought his sincerity and, with his excellent negotiation skills, had talked these old-timers into being "overjoyed," finally reaching a "harmonious" cooperation.
Afterward, the younger generation of these families, who had been taken out by Amu and Baha for a "day trip" to the wilderness, also "happily" returned to their respective homes.
One could only say that the "simple and honest" underground city was still very inclusive of outsiders, especially an "amiable" outsider like Su Xiao.
The reason for doing all this was naturally to get Dark Bishop Berheva to go to Twilight City together. Or rather, both Su Xiao and Berheva knew one thing: although the former noble Albers had experienced many hardships and was sufficient as an agent in terms of personal ability, to contend with those cunning old foxes in Twilight City's upper echelons, he needed Dark Bishop Berheva to watch his back. Otherwise, within three days of arriving in Twilight City, the former noble Albers would be toyed with by those old foxes until he couldn't find his way. Just imagine, with a large group of Sun Fanatics within the Twilight City faction, these old nobles had managed to firmly control power until today. Any one of them would not be easy to deal with.
Su Xiao already had the coordinates of Twilight City. Originally, he planned to invite Dark Bishop Berheva and the former noble Albers to ride the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array together. But after pondering for a moment, he decided to send Albers through other means. A suitable agent was hard to find; he couldn't let this one get killed.
"Bai Ye, I feel I shouldn't let you spend money on me either."
In the back courtyard of the manor, Dark Bishop Berheva quietly took a step back. Just half a minute ago, he had witnessed Su Xiao preventing Albers from stepping onto the teleportation array, which gave him an ominous premonition.
"Don't be polite. We are friends."
Under Su Xiao's gaze, Amu blocked Dark Bishop Berheva's escape route. This made Berheva want to say something more, but Su Xiao, who had let the Three Scoundrels and his good teammate slip away before, wasn't about to let this one go either. He had to test the new version of the teleportation array.
A moment later, Dark Bishop Berheva stepped onto the teleportation array with great trepidation. He even started praying to the legendary Archbishop of the Abyss, but Su Xiao stopped him.
"Bai Ye, I'm just seeking some psychological comfort, and you're stopping me too? You've gone too far!"
Dark Bishop Berheva looked like he had reached the end of his rope.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Archbishop of the Abyss has also arrived in this world."
"Wha... what?"
Dark Bishop Berheva's eyes widened a bit, then he laughed: "Bai Ye, you really know how to joke. I didn't expect that you, a man of few words, actually have a sense of humor."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He casually pulled up the clothing under his right ribs, revealing a pitch-black penetrating scar. He had one such black scar on his left shoulder, right chest, and right ribs. Before obtaining the Reincarnation Paradise "Deep Treatment Permission," these three scars could not be removed through conventional recovery.
"I cut off his left arm, rendering it unable to use any ability from now on. He left me these."
Su Xiao's words made Dark Bishop Berheva swallow his saliva. Although he had Absolute Strength level power, he wasn't famous in this world for his combat prowess. There were too many powerhouses in this world, and too many Absolute Strong.
"Isn't there a legend that the Archbishop of the Abyss was sealed in the Eternal Light World during the Second Era?"
Under Berheva's gaze, Baha, perched on Su Xiao's shoulder, said: "That's not a legend. We cleared out Eternal Light World before, and he escaped. The pressure of dealing with the Four Giants simultaneously was too great. It was a mistake forced by the situation."
"Wait, let me process this. Are you saying that the Archbishop of the Abyss, who holds supreme status in our Dark God Cult, is your greatest enemy?"
"Of course not."
Hearing Baha's words, Dark Bishop Berheva felt half the weight lift from his heart. However, Baha, full of mischief, hadn't finished speaking. Ignoring the increasingly vivid mask of pain on Berheva's face, he continued:
"Among our enemies, the Archbishop of the Abyss is in the third tier. If he recovers to his peak state, he moves to the second tier. So, old pal, do you want to join us in dealing with these enemies?"
"It's getting late. I should set off for Twilight City."
Dark Bishop Berheva chose to ignore Baha's last sentence. His mood was now extremely complicated—so complicated that he felt like running away. Seeing this, Baha said directly: "Don't think about meaningless things. Our enemies have nothing to do with you. If everything goes smoothly, and we get a multi-user World-Class Teleportation Array from Twilight City, you can take all your family to another world. No problem. The teleportation is starting. Off you go."
Boom! Dark Bishop Berheva disappeared. Or rather, most of Berheva disappeared, except for one arm that was spinning rapidly in place, flinging blood. Seeing this, Albers, whose hair had been blown into a vertical style by the wind pressure from the teleportation, gulped.
"Don't panic. You won't be using this teleportation array later. We've spent a high price to hire the underground city's teleportation master. Look over there, they've arrived."
Albers followed the direction Baha pointed, then felt a numbness at the back of his head, and his vision went black. A moment later, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Albers left via the previous version of the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array.
"How long are you planning to keep up the disguise?"
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Xiao, hidden in the shadows, had a calm gaze, judging this to be a test.
"I arrived here penniless, so I wanted to hitch a ride."
The one with the appearance and body of Green Wei, but actually Green Gillian, spoke. She was leaning back in a lounge chair, eating iced cherries, and even winked her left eye at the head maid near the flower field, who shyly turned her head away.
"You don't look penniless."
Su Xiao pressed one hand to the ground and began constructing the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array. Green Gillian stood up, curiously examined it for a moment, then asked, "What kind of teleportation array is this? It looks pretty impressive."
"The Law-Destroying Teleportation Array."
"Huh? What?!"
Green Gillian was shocked. She had never heard this term before. Hearing this, Su Xiao paused in his construction, turned his head to look at Green Gillian. Two pairs of confused eyes met.
"The Law-Destroying Teleportation Array... you've never heard of it?"
"Never. Could it be that this was used by the Law Destroyers of the First Era? We Law Destroyers of the Second Era didn't know about it, and then you, a Law Destroyer of the Third Era, discovered it and started using it again. That... should be it. Anyway, don't mind the details. Is this teleportation array stable? You have way too many enemies. I'm worried we'll get intercepted mid-transport by one of them. That would be the end."
"The Law-Destroying Teleportation Array cannot be intercepted."
"Hahaha, I, a Law Destroyer who has slain a bunch of powerhouses from the Second Era, have never even heard of the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array. Hahaha~" Green Gillian laughed mercilessly. However, she had a far greater curiosity about new things than others. She decided to try this teleportation array. But before that, she quietly nudged Su Xiao's side ribs with her elbow, put her arm around his shoulder, and lowered her voice: "Be careful. There's a very top-tier assassin watching you. If I still had my peak strength, I could sense the general range of this assassin. Not anymore. Anyway, this guy has real skills. If this assassin pierces a vital point, anyone below Supreme level dies in one hit."
"..."
Su Xiao remained expressionless. He indeed hadn't sensed anyone spying. But considering the identity of the person coming, this wasn't surprising. The other party was known as the strongest assassin of the current era. Moreover, as a Melee Grandmaster, it was normal not to sense an assassin outside his perception range.
"Can you deal with it?"
Su Xiao spoke while setting up the teleportation array, his voice suppressed so only Green Gillian beside him could hear.
"Of course not. At most, I can block a few hits initially. My daughter's body is too fragile."
Green Wei was cultivated by Sefeiliya using Green Gillian's cells. It seemed that in Green Gillian's view, this was her daughter, not a clone or something similar.
"Bai Ye, I've been secretly cultivating my daughter's strength using the old man method from Waltz and the others. She's also very curious about her own origins, so she hasn't mentioned to Sefeiliya that my soul is stored in her consciousness space. You think, one day, when my daughter discovers Sefeiliya's past secrets, and then I temporarily take control of this body and have a conversation with Sefeiliya... Ah, that scene... I'm really looking forward to it..."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, just told this pervert to stay away. The more she talked, the more excited she got, and her active emotional fluctuations would disturb his construction of the "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array."
Once the teleportation array was set up, Green Gillian tied her medium-length hair into a ponytail, put on a serious expression, and said to the air: "Madam, come out. Although your concealment technique is already superior to your master's, you can't escape my perception."
Green Gillian looked in one direction. Seeing this, Su Xiao was puzzled. With Green Gillian's current condition, could she actually sense the general location of the strongest assassin, Xiao?
Time passed. Then, Green Gillian chuckled and muttered: "Seems I guessed the wrong direction."
"Madam, come out. We know you're there."
Green Gillian stared straight in another direction. This left Xiao, hidden in the shadows, somewhat speechless.
"Madam, have you really given up on your daughter's condition? She's been in deep hibernation in the pseudo-life device for almost ten years. Do you really want her to... sleep like this forever?"
Near the manor's flower field, Green Gillian spoke loudly. Unbeknownst to anyone, all the servants around had become as if frozen, standing motionless. If one touched them, they would find their pupils dim and lifeless, as if in a state of suspended animation.
At some point, a sharp short blade was pressed against Green Gillian's neck. The blade had an ancient design, thin as a cicada's wing. Just looking at it seemed to hurt one's eyes due to its extreme sharpness.
"Calm down. This body belongs to my daughter. She's innocent and kind, not like me, so shameless. Don't hurt her."
"Shut up."
Xiao spoke in a low voice, with a slight hoarseness, obviously using some device to alter her voice. No wonder most people thought she was a middle-aged or elderly male assassin.
Xiao wore a gray-white feather robe, a feather hood on her head, and a bone mask on her face. Her right hand was wrapped in a bracer that clung tightly to her skin. At the end of the short blade in her hand, a few crimson tendrils coiled around her forearm.
"Madam, that's not right. As the negotiator between you two, how can I shut up? Or do you plan to negotiate with this negative-charisma Law Destroyer? Let me tell you secretly, this guy is very wicked. In trendy terms, he's an old yinbi. How can you choose an old yinbi over me? Madam, you've broken my heart."
Green Gillian started chattering endlessly. Actually, she wasn't a chatterbox at all. She just liked to talk trash to mess with people's minds. Or rather, she only enjoyed talking a lot when messing with people's minds. Sometimes, she wouldn't say half a word to anyone for days.
"Madam, I think I'm captivated by your cold and proud charm."
As it turned out, even the strongest assassin had to back off when encountering a pervert. Xiao frowned deeply at Green Gillian, wondering where this vile character had come from.
"Xiao, do you really want to fight to the death with us?"
Green Gillian turned her head to look at Xiao. Her pupils had somehow turned into translucent blue vertical slits, with a chilling blood-red at the center. Meeting this gaze, even Xiao, a Supreme-level assassin, immediately felt a palpitation.
Crack, crack, crack!
Starting from Green Gillian, the surrounding space began to crack one after another. Dark blue electric arcs surged within the spatial fissures.
With a deafening crack, thunder that echoed throughout the entire underground city came from above through the dome. If one were standing on the surface at this moment, they would see a massive black cloud vortex in the sky, with dark blue thunder surging within, as if a pair of enormous eyes were overlooking the world through this vast cloud vortex.
Near the manor's flower field, Xiao had already sensed the world's malice from the surroundings. It felt as if a colossal figure stood in the darkness behind her. The figure's hands were loosely clasped, fingertips seemingly hanging down threads, wanting to control the puppet dolls under the shroud of fear. The maniacally joyful expression seemed to have already appeared on the face of the massive shadow.
When the timing was right, Green Gillian broke the deadlock: "You and this negative-charisma guy don't really have that big a grudge. Why fight to the death? Besides, you're currently at the middle-to-lower level of Supreme. This guy is in the Paradise faction, and his rate of becoming stronger is ridiculously fast. What if he surpasses you later and then kills you in retaliation? Wouldn't that be both frustrating and embarrassing?"
Green Gillian came to Su Xiao's side and casually placed her left hand on his right shoulder. It seemed like an unconscious gesture while introducing Su Xiao, but in reality, her legs were now weak. The imposing aura she had just displayed had indeed intimidated Xiao. However, the current Green Gillian had expended too much energy trying to recreate the aura of her peak. That's why she leaned close to Su Xiao, the meaning simple: 'If things go south, take me and run immediately.'
Green Gillian's unwillingness to die for the sake of face was one of the main reasons she hadn't been killed by her enemies during her lifetime. She was the type to adapt her strong-willed dignity to the situation. When she could win, her strong-willed dignity was very strong. When she couldn't win, what strong-willed dignity? Did she even have such a thing? Survival was paramount.
The aloof and strong Xiao, encountering such a vile and rogue style from Green Gillian, was immediately at a loss for words. But before she could speak, Green Gillian said:
"I'm despicable, shameless, low, and not a good person. So, have you cursed enough?"
"?"
Xiao was clearly taken aback for a moment. In all her years of living, this was the first time she had encountered someone who cursed themselves so thoroughly that the other party had nothing left to say.
"So, shouldn't we discuss your daughter's problem?"
"This cannot be used to blackmail me."
Xiao spoke, her eyes under the mask narrowing slightly.
"Nikaye Spore Plant... hmm, hold on."
Green Gillian nudged Su Xiao with her elbow and whispered, "What's the name of that condition? I'm a 'genius' in arrayology and alchemy, you know."
"..."
Su Xiao handed a potion formula to Green Gillian. Green Gillian read from the formula:
"Nikaye Spore Plant Gestational Genetic Disease. Hmm? Madam, I smell your heartbeat speeding up."
Hearing the latter part, Xiao suppressed the urge to cut off Green Gillian's head. Just then, the smile on Green Gillian's face gradually faded. She changed from her trash-talking style and spoke in a steady tone:
"Xiao, continued hostility benefits no one. The secret potion formula you've been searching for years is right here. As for the treatment plan on it, one who has suffered long becomes a doctor. Whether this is reliable or not isn't something I can boast about. See for yourself."
Having said that, Green Gillian tossed the formula in her hand to Xiao. This was naturally the strategy already discussed with Su Xiao. This potion formula was an enhanced and improved version by a master alchemist. It had better effects, but the difficulty of compounding it had skyrocketed. Therefore, this formula was no longer at the level of solving alchemical equations; it was like opening a combination lock. Not to mention that Su Xiao's alchemy level was already top-notch. Even if another alchemist of the same level were present, they couldn't compound the potion using this formula.
Xiao examined the formula for a moment, then tucked it into her bosom. This signified that she had accepted the formula. Just as she was about to disappear into the shadows, Green Gillian said: "Where are you going, Madam? Have you forgotten who the strongest alchemist in the Void is?"
"You... were actually waiting for me."
Xiao saw through the situation today.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't answer Xiao's question. He tossed out a potion. The secret medicine to cure "Nikaye Spore Plant Gestational Genetic Disease" consisted of two parts. The part he just tossed was the "Rejection Secret Medicine." The remaining part was the core of this secret treasure.
Green Gillian stepped over to Xiao's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, as if she had already accepted her as a member of their team. She said: "Madam, look at this old yinbi. He knew he could blackmail you all along, but he didn't show it at all before entering this world. He just waited for you to come after him. See? You've become a top-tier fighter who brought her own entry ticket. Tsk tsk tsk~"
"Huff..."
Xiao let out a long breath, suppressing the urge to stab Green Gillian through the neck with a single thrust.
"Madam, since we're now in a cooperative relationship, can you release the freeze on my third wife?"
Green Gillian lifted her chin, looking at the head maid near the flower field. The point of this sentence wasn't how many beauties she had seduced in this world, but that she had only been in this world for two days. At this rate, by the time this world ended, Green Gillian would have seduced more beauties than she could count on ten fingers.
"Conditions."
Xiao spoke. She never believed she could obtain this secret potion formula and the finished product without paying any price.
"Three things."
Su Xiao's meaning was simple: Xiao would obtain the subsequent secret medicine at the cost of promising three things.
"I am only skilled at taking lives. I will take three lives for you."
"Deal."
Just as Xiao thought there would be more bargaining, Su Xiao finalized the deal. In his view, helping him eliminate three people and helping him do three things were the same.
"Where is the first target?"
"Twilight City."
As Su Xiao spoke, he activated the spatial array on the ground. He stepped onto it, followed by Green Gillian. Xiao hesitated for two seconds after witnessing the power of this teleportation array before stepping onto it.
The three people's gazes were: one still solemn, one curious, and the last one thoughtful.
When the teleportation array activated, the three people's gazes became: one still solemn, one "what the hell," and the last one furious.
Boom!!
The latest version of the "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array" activated. Half of a bone mask shattered as it flew through the air.
...
Twilight City, five kilometers outside the city, in the square of a temporary town.
This small square was quite dilapidated, covered in battle scars. After nightfall, the town's residents either hid underground or returned to Twilight City. But occasionally, reckless outsiders, thinking themselves powerful enough to challenge the night near Twilight City, would end up dying miserably here.
The goddess statue was half-damaged. On either side below the goddess statue, there were two figures. Both were holding onto the statue with one hand, bent over. The one on the right was bold in her actions, so she was in the midst of a "dragon's roar" of vomiting. The one on the left was pale-faced, occasionally dry heaving silently, the killing intent in her eyes almost becoming tangible.
"Which damn Law Destroyer developed this teleportation array?"
"It might be Kateshuna."
"Alright, I take back what I just said. That was definitely not a damn Law Destroyer."
Green Gillian still had great respect for her master. As for whether what Su Xiao said was true or false, it was indeed true. He had indeed learned about the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array from Kateshuna's records. But for some reason, she herself didn't use it.
"Bai Ye, did you eliminate an Abyss Spawn last night?"
Green Gillian had a smile on her face, ready to get back at him for the "dragon's roar" just now through this topic. She had a relatively straightforward personality. It was like when playing around and kicking each other; if she wasn't the one to land the last kick, she wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
"Yes."
"The demon spirit energy is still in the blade, right? We Soul Severing Shadows are different from the Devouring Demon Shadows. Want to know a more efficient method than using the Devouring Core to slowly convert this Abyss Spawn's source energy?"
As Green Gillian spoke, the smile on her face grew brighter.
"Just have the demon spirit directly devour it, then split half the demon spirit's source matter with it, right?"
"?"
Green Gillian was momentarily at a loss. She asked subconsciously: "Who taught you that!"
"Mawen Hua'erzi."
"Waltz... he's a Devouring Demon Shadow. Doing that is fine for him, but you are a Soul Severing Shadow. Please pay attention to your pathetic demon spirit intensity as a Soul Severing Shadow at the Absolute Strength level. By the way, using the standard unit of measurement, what is your current demon spirit intensity?"
Green Gillian, whose composure was somewhat shaken, turned her head to stare at Su Xiao.
"560."
Hearing this demon spirit intensity, Green Gillian sat there in silence for a few seconds, then chuckled and muttered: "Heh~ Not experiencing the pain of using the Devouring Core to slowly convert Abyss Spawn source energy, with progress so slow you want to slap yourself as a Soul Severing Shadow—the class experience is incomplete. Pfft~! You traitorous Soul Severing Shadow who, like a Devouring Demon Shadow, conveniently and efficiently uses the demon spirit to directly devour Abyss Spawn source energy. Shameless!"
The more Green Gillian muttered, the angrier she got. She stood up and walked away. Just as Baha flew over and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, he saw this scene and asked: "Jillian, where are you going?"
"I'm getting away from the 'traitor' among the Soul Severing Shadows."
Green Gillian quickened her pace outward, getting angrier with each step.
"But do you have any money in this world?"
Hearing this, Green Gillian's steps stopped. She looked at the sky and said: "The weather is really nice today."
Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha all looked up at the overcast sky, then met Green Gillian's "gentle" gaze. Baha quickly stepped forward as the representative and said: "Indeed, the weather is clear."
Green Gillian's mood turned from cloudy to clear. Thinking about it, as a top-tier Soul Severing Shadow, she had suffered greatly in converting Abyss Spawn source energy. She wanted to show off to a junior and generously share her experience in this area. But upon learning that the other party could directly use the demon spirit to devour, without all those laborious and flashy steps, she was naturally quite frustrated. So, the group no longer mentioned the matter.
Just then, a figure draped in a black robe, looking highly suspicious, blocked their path. The newcomer was a member of the Soul Academy. The reason for coming was that the Soul Academy had planted informants in the underground city many years ago. Naturally, they knew that Su Xiao had completely eliminated an "Immortal-Indestructible Abyss Spawn." So, they specifically came to invite Su Xiao to help the Soul Academy eliminate the two Abyss Spawns sealed there as well.
Upon learning the other party's intention, Green Gillian's eyes narrowed slightly. She lowered her voice and warned Su Xiao: "Be cautious. Your current soul strength is barely enough to suppress your powerful demon spirit."
Green Gillian was an Ancestral Law Destroyer. Although she could be vile and rogue at times, she never screwed over her own people on serious matters. She pondered for a moment and said:
"I have a secret technique for efficiently suppressing the demon spirit. I developed this over a thousand years—pfft, I'm not that old—over many years of my demon spirit constantly being on the verge of going out of control. Do you want to learn it?"
The secret technique Green Gillian mentioned piqued Su Xiao's interest. He asked: "What's the probability?"
"45%? Something like that."
Hearing this probability, Xiao, who was nearby, frowned. Although she wasn't from the Law Destruction faction, she felt that the success rate for mastering this ability was too low, less than half. In reality, Xiao had misunderstood. The 45% wasn't the success rate for mastering this ability; it was the risk of death during mastery.
When Xiao learned that this 45% was the risk of death during mastery, she was extremely surprised. She even spoke up, asking how such an ability could exist.
In response, she received looks from Su Xiao and Green Gillian, as if to say: Isn't it normal to have a "slight" risk when mastering an ability?
