# Chapter 19: Boundless

The dark blue ancient deep-sea urn hovered in the sky, exuding a pressure like an ancient deep-sea force, causing all living beings in the Hidden City to instinctively look up. Their souls showed signs of liquefaction, evaporating into soul water mist that drifted toward the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn."

From the initial contact, Su Xiao determined that the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn's" harm to a world was on the same tier as the "Scarlet Scepter" and "Soul Crown." It wasn't that the other Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins weren't dangerous—it was that their influence on the world had a gradual, progressive structure, unlike the "Scarlet Scepter" which directly spread scarlet corruption.

Spider Lady's intention in bringing out this item was clear: if they fought to the death here today, regardless of victory or defeat, her opponent Su Xiao wouldn't escape unscathed.

However, Spider Lady had only held the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn" for a short time—less than a month—and hadn't attempted to use it. This meant she couldn't understand what it meant to have sealed six Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins.

Moreover, the outside world generally believed that the Law Destroyers had sealed six Original Sins, with only one, at most two, being supreme-tier Original Sins, while the rest were at most mid-to-high rank.

One must understand that Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins and lower-tier Original Sins were fundamentally different concepts.

Thus, Spider Lady was so certain that the Law Destroyer before her wouldn't fight to the death here.

The "Book of Original Sin" appeared in Su Xiao's hand. With a *whoosh*, the "Book of Original Sin" unfolded. Almost simultaneously, the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn," which had been radiating an ancient deep-sea aura above, suddenly retracted its presence—a stark contrast to its previous attitude of suppressing everything upon arrival.

Gurgle, gurgle...

A large number of bubbles appeared in the sky. The "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn" was breaking Moon Witch's "Sealing Imprisonment." But before the ancient deep-sea aura could fully dispel the "Sealing Imprisonment," tentacles with dark gold particles emerged from the darkness within the "Book of Original Sin"—this was none other than the "Collector."

All along, the "Collector" had been quite satisfied with Su Xiao as its holder. Nothing could compare to collecting Original Sins of the same rank to satisfy its hoarding obsession.

Speaking of which, Su Xiao's relationship with the "Collector" was even better than with the "Necronomicon." Though not reaching friendliness, it was at least between "neutral" and "friendly."

Hundreds of meters long, finger-thick dark gold tentacles extended and wrapped around the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn," causing Spider Lady's eyes to widen. Things were developing in a direction she had never anticipated.

However, what Spider Lady couldn't imagine was that from the "Book of Original Sin," semi-transparent tentacles, scarlet threads, golden beams, emerald green mist threads, and pitch-black sand mist also spread out. These powerful Original Sin forces pulled the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn" into the "Book of Original Sin" at a visible speed.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't happen. The problem was that Su Xiao had just broken the "Original Sin Causality," which meant that for a long time afterward, the "Book of Original Sin" would remain in a stable state. For several Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins, this was bad news.

But the appearance of the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn" was undoubtedly an opportunity. The more Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins sealed, the greater the load on the "Book of Original Sin." Eventually, the seal would crack, and all the Original Sins inside would break free.

So dragging the "Ancient Deep-Sea Urn" in as well was the best choice. Not to mention, several Grand Daddy Rank Original Sins were already inside. Seeing an old friend outside, unrestrained and doing whatever it pleased—well, they certainly wouldn't share in the good times, but now that trouble had come, come on in and share the hardship!

Under Spider Lady's astonished gaze, the seventh Grand Daddy Rank Original Sin successfully took its place. The "Book of Original Sin" closed and vanished.

Now, looking at the Law Destroyer holding the long blade, his eyes glowed red—clearly very "grateful" to Spider Lady for obtaining the seventh Grand Daddy Rank Original Sin.

A blade arc flew past. Spider Lady sidestepped almost precognitively. After the battle began, within a radius of several dozen kilometers centered on her, countless barely visible spider threads were distributed throughout the space, allowing her to capture everything that was about to happen.

With a *boom*, Su Xiao vanished from his spot, the ground beneath him cracking apart. This made Spider Lady's pupils contract. She suddenly raised her hand to the side, but it was too late. Su Xiao appeared behind her, his long blade slashing through.

*Clang!*

The crisp sound of the slash shot straight into the sky. Spider Lady's upper body was cut diagonally, but what splashed out wasn't blood—it was dark purple venom. Spider Lady burst apart with a *pop*, and countless poisonous spikes shot out in all directions.

Su Xiao slashed the air with his blade. The surging slash force blasted away the incoming poisonous spikes.

A hundred meters away, a giant cocoon shattered, and Spider Lady emerged. Her right hand, glowing with bright green light, was raised as if holding something.

"Empress Nova."

*Whoosh!* A sharp sound rang out. Emerald green light bloomed, corroding the world within a radius of several dozen kilometers, riddling it with holes.

At the center of the poisonous light, Spider Lady finally had a chance to catch her breath. She certainly hadn't thought this would severely wound Su Xiao; she only wanted to force him back to gain a brief respite. Being constantly suppressed left little chance of victory, and using life force to replace body energy was indeed too risky.

"Extreme Blade: White Night."

Golden light appeared in Spider Lady's eyes. Her instinctive thought was—was this Law Destroyer insane? Charging headfirst into her poisonous ability?

*Pfft!*

A fair, slender arm, along with half a shoulder, was severed. Scattered emerald green crystals floated around—caused by the extremely high concentration of poison in the surrounding area.

Bare-chested, Su Xiao's body emitted wisps of white mist—the result of continuous poison erosion. His method of dealing with it was simple and unadorned: enduring it with life force.

Giving Spider Lady no chance, Su Xiao pressed forward. The tip of Dragon-Slaying Flash was instantly before Spider Lady's brow.

*Crack!!*

A chitinous leg extending from behind Spider Lady used its tip to block Dragon-Slaying Flash. The moment they clashed, layers of air waves spread outward from that central point.

"Poison Sea!"

Spider Lady's waist-length milky white hair flew up. Around her, green-tinged liquid surged forth, quickly enveloping the entire top city of the Hidden City.

Within the Poison Sea, Su Xiao, holding his long blade, felt intense pain throughout his body. The poison rank of this seawater was no weaker than Spider Lady's direct attacks.

*Clang!*

The long blade blocked a swiftly approaching thread. Opposite him, Spider Lady's lips curved into an elegant arc. As she hooked her index finger with its sharp nail, the tip faintly reflected the sharp gleam of a spider thread.

"Law Destroyer, die now."

The moment Spider Lady finished speaking, one of Su Xiao's four "Life Cores" suddenly shattered. However, with the Life Core's destruction, his health rapidly recovered to full, and the dozens of poisons in his body were all dispelled. His vision cleared, and his other senses gradually returned to normal.

Within the Poison Sea, seeing that Su Xiao hadn't merely not died but was in even better condition, Spider Lady immediately confirmed the characteristics of this Law Destroyer's "Life Core." She was very adept at dealing with this type—technique masters who wouldn't abandon their original body.

Spider Lady's hair floated in the seawater as she clasped her hands together. The next instant, the seawater in Su Xiao's area suddenly solidified. A three-meter-long, emerald-green glowing sharp spike formed above Spider Lady and shot toward the trapped Su Xiao with a *boom*, creating layers of water ripples.

*Clang!*

Su Xiao slashed horizontally, sending the incoming poisonous spike flying. This caused Spider Lady, whose hands were still clasped, to have all ten fingers snap backward with a *crack* due to the backlash. But she simply flexed her fingers, and they all recovered.

Suddenly, a blade edge approached from behind. The fierce slash pressure made Spider Lady's perception sting. Only then did she hear the *boom* of a water impact from where Su Xiao had been—he had moved through the water with ultimate power and speed. This feeling of seeing lightning before hearing thunder was exactly Spider Lady's current situation.

The long blade cut through skin and flesh. Just as it was about to damage soul and causality, the slashing sensation changed. The poisoned Spider Lady was cut diagonally. A thousand meters away, a giant cocoon in the water burst, and Spider Lady emerged.

A kilometer apart, Spider Lady stared at Su Xiao. Honestly, she had never encountered such an enemy. Aside from the long blade in his hand, he seemed to have no other powerful abilities. Long blade + ultimate power and speed + a powerful life physique—Spider Lady had never thought such a peak powerhouse could be so difficult to deal with.

Normally, even a peak powerhouse, when subjected to dozens of her most top-tier poisons, would have their combat power reduced by at least three-tenths, if not half. Thus, Spider Lady could handle close combat even against melee specialists, having already weakened her enemy.

But this Law Destroyer was absurd. His five senses were completely sealed, his soul suffered poison, his fate endured death poison, and his physique bore dozens of debilitating deadly poisons. Yet he seemed completely unaffected. If not for his dim, lusterless eyes earlier, Spider Lady would have thought all her poisons had failed.

Within the Poison Sea, Su Xiao raised his blade hand and slashed down with force. The slash pressure created layers of impact in the water.

With a *splash*, this Poison Sea was like a large swimming pool with its plug pulled. All the poisonous seawater surged into the slash crack beside Su Xiao.

Seeing this, Spider Lady was slightly puzzled. What ability could dispel the Poison Sea without cost? But upon closer observation, she understood what had happened. This Law Destroyer had slashed open the world's depth, causing the poisonous seawater to flow outside this world region—into the world's crevice.

The water level dropped at a visible rate. When Su Xiao and Spider Lady were once again standing on solid ground, Spider Lady's five fingers pierced into the space before her.

Before the Poison Sea's water had fully receded, surrounding poisonous spiders surged forward like a tide. Their eyes were bloodshot, their aura frenzied.

The Absolute Perception Domain expanded. All frenzied spiders that stepped into the perception domain were instantly shredded. Even though Su Xiao hadn't swung his blade, the slash pressure attached to the perception domain was enough to destroy them.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Three spider threads slashed past, all perfectly blocked by Su Xiao's long blade. But the next instant, a large amount of venom appeared around him. Each drop of venom was distinct, forming needle-thin spikes that shot toward him.

More terrifyingly, all of Spider Lady's poison attacks carried a "Instant Death Effect." Fortunately, as an "Extreme System Supreme Peak," Su Xiao had the "Supreme Physique" ability.

"Supreme Physique: You can negate all slashing/instant death effects except 'Causality Slash (such as Demon Blade).'"

A hundred meters away, Spider Lady pointed at Su Xiao from a distance. Her fingertip bloomed with emerald green light—a poison ability so unreasonable that, while neither instant death nor slashing, it could kill someone instantly.

"Eternal slumber, Law Destroyer."

Spider Lady murmured. Her words resonated with an unknown force. Her fingertip, blooming with emerald light, calmly pointed forward. Though it seemed to point at empty space, it was actually directing this strongest poison in the Star Realm into Su Xiao's heart.

Just as Spider Lady pointed this death finger.

"Extreme Realm: Star Realm."

This time, Spider Lady wasn't unresponsive. Dark purple poison capable of corroding through the world appeared around her. She was using a massive amount of her strongest poison to try to break free. To poison a peer-level enemy to death, she only needed a fingernail-sized amount. Now, she was releasing enough to envelop herself.

Spider Lady felt her body freeze, then her soul and consciousness, until she knew nothing.

Only a few seconds passed before Spider Lady suddenly awoke. Blinding sunlight first entered her eyes. She determined she had left the Hidden City's range. The shattering of her second "Life Core" had finally helped her escape danger.

"Haah~"

Spider Lady exhaled light purple poison mist. She had decided never to cross blades with that Blade Grandmaster again. Though skilled at dealing with technique masters, this time she had truly learned something—constantly breaking through the limits of physique could indeed achieve such strength.

Suddenly, Spider Lady's gaze sharpened. After her life force stabilized, she couldn't sense her last "Life Core." This meant that during the "Star Realm Freeze," she had continuously shattered two "Life Cores." If she died again, she would sink into the Abyss and be reborn there.

Spider Lady didn't intend to rely on this trump card. She already knew of the Dukain Family's destruction. That Law Destroyer must have a method to completely kill Abyss Descendants. Moreover, during the Second Era's Law Destruction Faction, there had indeed been Law Destroyers who had slain Abyss Descendants.

Space violently fluctuated. With a dull sound, Su Xiao arrived via the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array.

This was a barren, desolate yellow-brown Gobi desert. Weathered white bones were everywhere. A kilometer away lay an ultra-giant skeleton, seemingly left by a giant in a bowed sitting posture. Its hollow, giant skull eye sockets seemed to be watching Su Xiao and Spider Lady.

"Law Destroyer, it seems you're determined to fight to the death with me."

Spider Lady's eyes quickly turned pitch black. Abyss power formed a bow and arrow. The Star Realm's strongest crystalline spider thread served as the bowstring. Spider Lady grasped this Abyss weapon with one hand, staring intently at Su Xiao.

A giant ghost-faced spider phantom appeared behind Spider Lady. Her expression darkened as she said, "I didn't want to bring out these methods so early. Since you're so eager to die, then... come."

The ghost-faced spider phantom extended six pitch-black arms, each with over a dozen fingers. At the tip of each finger was connected a spider thread.

Before Spider Lady, a pitch-black crack appeared. First to emerge was a pitch-black Law-Destroying Blade, 1.6 meters long, nearly 10 centimeters wide, with a slight curve. Then the figure that stepped out was over three meters tall, making this Law-Destroying Blade perfectly suited for him.

Messy, slightly curly black hair draped over his shoulders. A dark and powerful aura made one's heartbeat slow. This was none other than the Second Generation Demon Blade from the First Era.

The Second Generation Demon Blade had long died. Spider Lady's ability wasn't necromancy—she used the ghost-faced spider's threads to replace the Second Generation Demon Blade's consciousness, temporarily pseudo-reviving him until the ghost-faced spider exhausted itself.

*Crack!*

A dark blue soul thunderbolt fell, caught by the Second Generation Demon Blade's blade. He instantly vanished from his spot, the ground beneath him violently cracking apart.

*Clang!*

Two Law-Destroying Blades clashed, followed by an explosion like colliding meteors.

*Pfft!*

A nearly three-meter-long dark arrow embedded itself in Su Xiao's left shoulder. This Abyss arrow had an emerald green line in its center, injecting poison into the enemy upon impact.

Su Xiao's vision blurred. Blade wind pressure came head-on.

*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Two Law-Destroying Blades clashed repeatedly.

"Extreme Blade: Heavy Moon."

Slash pressure crashed down, causing the Second Generation Demon Blade's movements to pause.

"Extreme Blade: Azure Demon."

*Clang!!*

A blue-green blade arc exploded at Spider Lady's throat. The Abyss arrow she had released veered off course.

The Abyss arrow reached Su Xiao.

*Clang~ Clang!*

One slash deflected the force, another light slash reversed the arrow's direction, followed by a side kick.

*Boom!*

Spider Lady was pierced through the lower abdomen by the Abyss arrow, pinned to a towering crystal wall that had appeared behind her just 0.1 seconds earlier.

*Clang!*

Dragon-Slaying Flash perfectly blocked the black blade. Su Xiao had even blocked intangible slashes before, so blocking this should have been certain.

With a burst of air, Su Xiao flew backward through layers of air waves. Mid-flight, he slashed twice, sending two incoming Abyss arrows flying. However, three arrows in his chest, abdomen, and right arm immediately shattered one of his "Life Cores."

Throughout the battle with Spider Lady, Su Xiao's health never stopped dropping. This was the terror of the Star Realm's strongest poison ability. Even Su Xiao's normally healthy bright red health bar had temporarily turned emerald green.

The moment he landed, Su Xiao slashed away an Abyss arrow. The L-shaped arrow flew off, exploding a several-kilometer-high mountain in the distance, nearly leveling it. The subsequent poison erosion turned the area into a bottomless vertical pit, pitch black and unfathomable.

Slash pressure approached. Su Xiao met it with a slash.

*Clang!*

Su Xiao felt his soul briefly separate from his body. Fortunately, his soul strength was high enough. He sidestepped an arrow while entering the Dragon Shadow Flash's penetrating world state.

The black blade slashed through Su Xiao's torso. A black slash mark appeared in the world here, the world slightly cut open. A diagonal slash wound crossed Su Xiao's chest, blood splattering. Simultaneously, he delivered a straight kick.

Spider Lady only heard:

*Boom!!!*

The Second Generation Demon Blade flew past Spider Lady, stirring her hair. In that instant, his presence disappeared from Spider Lady's perception. If the actual Second Generation Demon Blade had come, he wouldn't have been so easily kicked away. But this was ultimately an incomplete version summoned by ability.

Su Xiao vanished, appearing before Spider Lady the next instant.

*Clang!*

Dragon-Slashing Flash clashed with the black blade, sparks flying. The Second Generation Demon Blade, who should have flown to the ends of the earth, instantly appeared before Spider Lady—this was a characteristic of the ghost-faced spider.

Spider Lady burst into splashing dark purple venom, then emerged from a cocoon a kilometer away. She aimed her arrow at the enemy. After several rounds of exchange, she understood that this Law Destroyer wasn't just about power, speed, and powerful blade techniques. His combat experience was actually... superior to hers.

This was hard for Spider Lady to accept. She had always felt she was trapped before the Great Library, fighting for who knows how many years. But thinking that the Law Destroyer, Deer God, and Diro had fought to the heavens and earth upon arriving here, she had to accept that this suddenly appearing Law Destroyer's combat wisdom and ability were indeed terrifying. But all this would end.

Spider Lady's Abyss arrow radiated powerful pressure. At this moment, the entire Doom Star rumbled and shook.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

The Second Generation Demon Blade slashed down rhythmically. Each slash seemed slow but carried extreme suppressive force, practically forcibly controlling the enemy with slashes.

A lethal threat approached. Su Xiao not only didn't evade but sheathed his long blade.

"Selfless Realm: Boundless!"

This was Su Xiao's current strongest slash, requiring a full 1 second to build up power. It wasn't that the technique was poorly developed—forcibly unleashing it quickly would put immense burden on his body. Not only would all his bones risk large-scale cracking, but his flesh would also develop dense cracks. This was only possible with 500 points of Supreme Stamina. Otherwise, this technique couldn't even be used. Whether the enemy would die was unknown, but he would certainly die.

For other Supreme Peaks, this 1-second build-up technique was almost useless. But if Su Xiao used "Extreme Realm: Star Realm" to stop the Star Realm within 1000 meters for 1 second, it effectively became an instant technique.

*Clang!!*

A pitch-black blade arc slashed diagonally. The Second Generation Demon Blade flew backward. Mid-flight, his black blade shattered, and his body rapidly disintegrated. When only half a head remained, the darkness in its single eye quickly receded. Just before completely dissipating, that eye actually showed a hint of relief.

Dark purple poisonous blood splattered. Spider Lady's strongest attack was interrupted. Not only that, but both her arms and the front third of her spider abdomen had disappeared, with thick purple blood gushing from the wounds.

Spider Lady's pupils trembled. That slash had nearly stopped all three of her hearts simultaneously.

"You are the strongest technique grandmaster I've ever fought. But you still... must die!!"

Spider Lady's body mutated. Her human-like upper body rapidly expanded. In a short time, a kilometer-long ghost wolf spider appeared. Its two scythe-like chitinous legs rubbed against each other, producing a metallic ringing sound.

*Boom!!!*

A ten-kilometer-diameter crater formed in the ground. Spider Lady, like a predator catching prey, instantly appeared before Su Xiao. Her short-range burst speed was actually slightly faster than his. This was clearly her hidden trump card all along.

Now, Su Xiao's control over "Extreme Realm: Star Realm" was completely different from before. Previously, if he split its use, the total 5-second duration could only be divided into two 2-second uses.

Now, "Extreme Realm: Star Realm" had a total 8-second duration. Cutting Spider Lady's first Life Core took 3 seconds. Testing the enemy's Life Core characteristics, cutting the second and third Life Cores also consumed 3 seconds. Using "Selfless Realm: Boundless" consumed 1 second.

Facing Spider Lady's lethal ambush, Su Xiao simply stepped forward. As his foot touched the ground:

"Extreme Realm: Star Realm!"

Centered on Su Xiao, everything around him froze. All of Spider Lady's compound eyes widened as if about to burst. She had never considered that such a powerful ability could be used four times in a single battle. Was this something a human could do?

The Azure Shadow King ability activated. Deep blue energy clung to Dragon-Slashing Flash. The next slash would deal more damage the less body energy the enemy had. Now, Spider Lady's body energy was less than 1%.

"Extreme Blade: Star Piercer."

The tip of Dragon-Slashing Flash shimmered with starlight and suddenly pierced into Spider Lady's head. Spider Lady's poison ability naturally required large amounts of body energy to execute. Thus, her body energy was 21.95 million points. Don't compare Su Xiao's body energy—his came from the "Peak Ability" triple-combined "Power Origin."

Over 30 million points of true damage acted on Spider Lady, causing her to suddenly freeze. Even though the "Star Realm Freeze" had ended, she remained frozen.

*Boom!*

In spider form, a kilometer-long Spider Lady had a one-meter-diameter hole in her head. This hole continuously expanded toward her spider abdomen, forming a trumpet shape.

Spider Lady in spider form began to harden and become brittle, ultimately exploding. Inside, only her human-like upper body remained, with a soccer-ball-sized hole in her chest and abdomen. More terrifyingly, even if Spider Lady survived this time, she would permanently lose her strongest form—Ghost Wolf Spider form. Tens of millions of true damage had directly shattered the causal existence of this combat form. Even if she redeveloped it, it could never reappear.

Spider Lady landed. Spatial aura erupted from her body. But the next second, a "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array" formed beneath her. Two teleportation forces of similar strength clashed, causing the surrounding space to crack like a giant mirror shattering.

Beneath the crystal wall, Spider Lady bled from her mouth and nose. Enduring this level of true damage without dying on the spot—but it instantly emptied Spider Lady's accumulated dozens of most top-tier life-saving methods as a peak powerhouse. Truly, peak powerhouses were very hard to kill.

Holding his long blade, Su Xiao stepped forward. But after a few steps, another "Life Core" shattered from poison. It seemed that compared to peak powerhouses who had reached the Supreme Realm for one or two eras, Su Xiao still had significant shortcomings in ability foundation. However, all Supreme attributes at 500 points not only compensated for this shortcoming but also allowed him to suppress Spider Lady throughout the battle. As he approached Spider Lady, she spoke without fear in her eyes:

"Bai Ye, you..."

Before Spider Lady could finish, the blade enhanced with "Demon Blade" had already slashed through her neck, leaving a trail of dark blue smoke slash marks. Spider Lady's head flew up.

Yes, Su Xiao was always this decisive. Thus, he had never been ambushed by a dying powerful enemy. As for being overturned—that simply didn't exist.

The "Causality Severing" ability activated. Just as Abyss aura emerged from the center of Spider Lady's chest, a blade pierced through. The Blade Demon Spirit on the blade quickly extinguished the emerging Abyss aura. Almost simultaneously, on the "Ancestral Clan Emblem" of the Abyss Descendant Azguk Family in Wind Sea Continent, Spider Lady's true name on it rapidly faded.

Pulling out the long blade, he flicked off the dark purple poisonous blood. Around him, burning blood embers scattered.

Spider Lady had been slain.

**Waste Mosquito is too fragile**

Ate something bad last night, vomited violently all night. After sleeping poorly and resting, still felt unwell in the morning, so went for IV fluids. Came back in the afternoon to rest, forced myself to code in the evening. What I wrote, Waste Mosquito was too embarrassed to post. With poor physical condition, the quality was very poor. Rather than force an update, Waste Mosquito would rather take a leave.

Sleep tonight, see if I feel better when I wake up tomorrow. If better, I'll code quickly in the morning, aiming for an afternoon update. If my stomach still hurts, Waste Mosquito will take both days off this weekend. Monday should be fine—I'm not vomiting anymore, just stomach discomfort. Resting tomorrow should solve it. My apologies, Waste Mosquito's physique is too fragile. Dear readers, please forgive me.
