Chapter 3: Power Fragment · Golden Annihilation: After absorption, you can master your exclusive "Annihilation Power." The "Annihilation Power" will derive a permanent passive buff with different effects based on each person's ability system.
The Annihilation Power effect you can obtain: Your True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, and Soul Strength attributes will all provide attack power bonuses to kick damage.
You can absorb a maximum of "Power Fragments": 0/6 pieces.
...
Which specific "Power Fragment" is formed has nothing to do with the wearer's luck. After confirming this characteristic of [Power Lord], Su Xiao felt greatly relieved. He chose to begin forming the "Power Fragment."
A large amount of World Force surged out from [Power Lord], converging in front of Su Xiao, compressing and gathering, ultimately forming a pitch-black power fragment.
[You have obtained Power Fragment · Darkness.]
[Power Fragment · Darkness (Immortal Rank Curio): After absorbing this power fragment, your Blade and kick attack power increases by 5%.]
...
Seeing this improvement, Su Xiao personally experienced the power of "Eternal Rank · Nourishing Equipment." Even if all six "Power Fragments" were "Power Fragment · Darkness," he could still increase his Blade and kick attack power by 30%.
It must be noted that this is not calculated based on skill bonuses; it is a 5% increase on the current overall attack power. This is very substantial. The later the stage, the more powerful this percentage-based enhancement becomes.
Su Xiao grasped the "Power Fragment · Darkness" with one hand. It transformed into dark gold energy and merged into his body, flowing with his blood while being absorbed by various parts of his body.
After taking out the "Sun Source Stone" obtained this time, Su Xiao absorbed it through the Sun Lord title. The process went smoothly, but after the absorption was complete, the attributes of the Sun Lord title became:
[Sun Lord]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Category: Title · Unique.
Title Effect: Blazing Sun Trial (Passive), after absorbing enough "Sun Source Stones" with this title, devour "Blazing Sun Blood" to complete the transformation.
Current Sun Source Stones Absorbed: 1/32 pieces.
Tip: After the Sun Lord title successfully absorbs 12 Sun Source Stones, you will qualify to devour "Blazing Sun Blood."
Tip: The Sun Lord title will undergo a tiered transformation after absorbing 12, 20, and 32 Sun Source Stones.
Tip: The process of devouring "Blazing Sun Blood" through the Sun Lord cannot be terminated or reversed.
Introduction: Praise the Sun.
Selling Price: Cannot be sold.
...
It seems that there are a total of 32 Sun Source Stones in this world. Su Xiao's psychological expectation was to obtain 20 "Sun Source Stones." Of course, 12 would also be acceptable, considering this is a lineup of divine-level chaos.
The three members of Shenfu's team need no further comment. Even the Big Brain team is particularly powerful. Among them, Baozun is in the top tier of Absolute Strength, Buxiu Ge is in the top tier of Absolute Strength, and Star Realm Devourer is in the mid-tier of Absolute Strength. But do not forget what kind of existence this is. It was born at the early Absolute Strength level, and its combat power is constantly growing. Not to mention, Heimo, who is in the same "Absolute Strength Peak" tier as Su Xiao, is also in this small team.
Interestingly, the Big Brain team, also known as the Soul Team representing the Soul Academy, has achieved a particularly wonderful balance among its four members. Baozun, Buxiu Ge, and Star Realm Devourer need no further introduction. The key is the recently joined Heimo.
Heimo had just crawled out of the Abyss not long ago. Logically, it should be in a stage of occasional frenzied devouring. The problem is, in Heimo's perception, devouring Baozun would likely cause its already scarce rationality to decline further.
As for devouring Buxiu Ge, this guy dares to drink any permanent buff potion or liquid energy. Therefore, in Heimo's perception, if it devoured Buxiu Ge, it might get poisoned. That's right, Buxiu Ge's resistance is so high that, for any existence other than himself, this can be called an incurable deadly poison.
As for Star Realm Devourer, Heimo is even less interested in it. Essentially, both originate from the Star Realm, just different races.
Thus, Heimo, who occasionally has rationality, teamed up with three big brains. Usually, Heimo is silent, so Baozun acts as the captain. When Heimo goes berserk and enraged, Baozun, Buxiu Ge, and Star Realm Devourer are so nervous they almost hug each other, hiding aside waiting for Heimo's frenzy to subside.
With Heimo's addition, the Soul Team's combat power skyrocketed, causing Kaisa and the other two, who were secretly assisting, to leave. However, Kaisa and the others had already set their sights on the Soul Academy's treasure vault and planned to join forces with Su Xiao to "stock up" from that vault.
The plan was already prepared. Su Xiao accepted the Soul Academy's invitation to help them eliminate the "Undying · Abyss Spawn." The three rascal Arbiters took the opportunity to infiltrate the Soul Academy.
Naturally, it wasn't through theft to complete the vault stocking. That would be both dangerous and impossible to empty the vault. Kaisa and the others infiltrated to use their respective abilities to replace three pre-selected members of the Soul Academy.
If everything went smoothly, Kaisa would replace the logistics administrator, the Toad would replace the warehouse statistician, and the Storm Rat would replace the patrol team leader. After these three set things up for a while, they could start stocking up.
According to the prior agreement, Su Xiao would get 30%, Kaisa 30%, and the Toad and Storm Rat 20% each.
[Tip: Endless Ring has completed its upgrade.]
[Endless Ring]
Origin: Abyss.
Quality: Abyss Rank (You have not yet unlocked the Abyss Equipment · Exclusive Equipment Slot. Wearing this equipment under these circumstances, due to its excessive strength, may pose unknown risks.)
Type: Buff-type Equipment.
Equipment Effect 1: Life Tranquility (Passive), each point of this equipment's rating provides 50 points of Health Points bonus.
Current Health Points Bonus: 300,000 points!
Equipment Effect 2: Endless Devouring (Core · Passive), Endless Ring can devour other equipment and increase its own rating cap based on the quality, rating, and strength of the devoured equipment.
Current Rating Cap Bonus: 0 points.
Equipment Detriment: Dark Drowning (Passive), while wearing this equipment, you will gradually be invaded by the darkness of the Abyss. This erosion can be resisted by your Abyss Resistance, but the greater the buff provided by this equipment, the higher the intensity of this erosion.
Tip: 25 points of Abyss Resistance can resist the current erosion intensity (your current Abyss Resistance is 85 points).
Rating: 6000 points (Under normal circumstances, the rating of Abyss Rank equipment is 1 to 6000 points).
Introduction: Darkness is always tranquil. Tranquility breeds precipitation, precipitation brings decay, decay transforms into nutrients, nutrients nourish life. At the very center of darkness, the purest and most robust life source matter is nurtured.
Selling Price: Cannot be sold.
...
[Endless Ring] provides a significant boost to Health Points. At first glance, raising [Endless Ring]'s rating to over 10,000 points would grant a 500,000-point Health Points bonus. However, this is not the case. As [Endless Ring]'s rating increases, the Health Points bonus rate per rating point also increases.
Calculating by this standard, if [Endless Ring]'s rating reaches 10,000 points, the Health Points it provides would be at least in the millions.
Given Su Xiao's current Health Points of over 2 million, this equipment would be the absolute protagonist in terms of Health Points enhancement. Conversely, the equipment's detriment cannot be underestimated. The stronger the buff it provides, the stronger the "Abyss Darkness Invasion" it brings. One must maintain sufficiently high Abyss Resistance to be qualified to wear this Abyss equipment.
For now, this equipment cannot be worn. Su Xiao has not yet unlocked the Abyss Equipment Slot. He reviewed the previous prompt.
[Checked that you are attempting to equip "Abyss Equipment," and your Abyss Resistance has reached over 80 points. Yes/No to unlock the Abyss Equipment Slot (maximum of one can be unlocked). This Abyss Equipment Slot unlock requires payment of 12,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.]
Besides the transformation of [Endless Ring], one of Su Xiao's ring equipment slots has been vacated. Returning to Reincarnation Paradise this time, he could consider spending a fortune to acquire an Eternal Rank ring or band.
Putting away [Endless Ring], Su Xiao took out the [Ascension Blood Core · Nourishment (Talent Item · Unique)] obtained earlier through the World Quest.
[Ascension Blood Core · Nourishment]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise.
Category: Talent Item · Unique.
Effect: Allows a blood-type talent that has reached SSS rank to undergo a focused transformation.
Introduction: Erosion, Condensation, Burst, Blood Flame.
...
Last time when upgrading the "Blood Beast" talent, Su Xiao obtained Blood Rage, which is the ability of "Heavenly Wrath · Mark" to draw down medium-intensity World Lightning through blood-type skills. This ability was particularly useful at the beginning, but as his strength progressed, he found this characteristic strong but imprecise, causing his long-developed blood-type abilities to lack focus.
Su Xiao's blood-type abilities are based on the Blood Spear Grandmaster, with the "Blood Beast" talent as the activation method. Derived abilities include Blood Smoke Cannon, Blade Path Sword · Slay, Blood Burst, and Blood Shadow.
In the battle against the Beast God, Su Xiao only used Blood Smoke Cannon and Blood Burst. The reason was that the other two blood-type abilities had drastically reduced power due to the lack of concentration in the blood system.
This talent item is undoubtedly an opportunity for the "Blood Beast" talent to be reborn. Su Xiao's style is that normal attacks are ultimate moves. A sufficiently focused blood-type talent characteristic would undoubtedly be a great help to him.
Among the four choices of Erosion, Condensation, Burst, and Blood Flame, Erosion and Blood Flame were ruled out first. Both are relatively slow methods of harming enemies. Between Condensation and Burst, Su Xiao decided on Burst. Condensation leans more towards large-scale blood-type absorption and recovery abilities.
In contrast, Burst is 100% utilized by Blood Smoke Cannon, Blade Path Sword · Slay, Blood Burst, and Blood Shadow. Among these, Blood Smoke Cannon can even receive a 300% bonus from the Burst characteristic.
Considering that he would not be going to the Northern Continent to deal with the High Tower Knight Leader in the next few days, Su Xiao chose to use the [Ascension Blood Core · Nourishment (Talent Item · Unique)]. In the past, he would have returned to Reincarnation Paradise before using this item.
This time, there are too many powerful enemies to deal with. He had to complete the talent transformation as soon as possible and adapt to the transformed talent in the following days to enhance his combat power.
This is quite risky, but given the current situation, without taking some risks, the probability of surviving this world is too low. The strength of the first major boss, the Beast God, is the best proof.
Su Xiao felt the gradually transforming "Blood Beast" talent. He could sense his blood energy becoming purer, slowly yet resolutely. It seemed the surprise from this talent transformation was considerable. It might even elevate the quality of his blood energy by a tier. Just then, several crucial prompts appeared.
[Tip: A Star Realm neutral entity is transmitting an item to you.]
[This transmission has been notarized by the Void Tree.]
[You will receive the "Shadow of Law Destruction · Exclusive Soul Blade" through the Void Tree's notarization in 10 seconds.]
...
The Soul Blade entrusted to the Forging Light Elder for quenching had finally been forged. This was the true enhancement brought by Blade Grandmaster Lv.95. Typically, one must first advance to Supreme before having the resources to push Blade Grandmaster to Lv.95. Su Xiao achieved this at the Absolute Strength level through the generous gains from the Wind Sea Continent, Eternal Light World, and Witch Realm over three worlds.
Now, the power of Blade Grandmaster Lv.95, belonging to the Supreme level, was about to be mastered by him.
[You have obtained "Shadow of Law Destruction · Exclusive Soul Blade." You can immediately absorb this Soul Blade. Upon successful absorption, the "Supreme Level · Ultimate Ability" derived from your Blade Grandmaster Lv.95 will be successfully awakened.]
[Warning: Due to the excessive intensity of this ability, your current physique only meets the minimum usage prerequisites. Each use will place a tremendous burden on your body.]
