Chapter 43: Abyss/Element
The equipment enhancement machine stopped operating. Su Xiao took out the sheathed Dragon-Slaying Flash from the iron-black tray that had extended outward, and drew the long blade from its scabbard.
Bang!
The sound of a fist hitting the diagonally rear equipment enhancement machine drew everyone's attention. The enhancement merchant standing in front of the machine let out a stream of profanity. After all, failing consecutive enhancements from +1 to +2 would make anyone's anger surge.
The long blade returned to its scabbard. Su Xiao left the Equipment Enhancement Hall without making a sound. Although weapons enhanced within Reincarnation Paradise would have their edge restrained by default, the current Dragon-Slaying Flash still possessed a sharpness that could cut through anything. Just looking at its edge made one's gaze feel stung with pain.

After being enhanced to +18, Dragon-Slaying Flash directly climbed to the third position among Reincarnation Rank. Not to mention anything else, the sharpness of 34408 points was already unattainable by other sharp weapons. The annotation that followed—(Highest sharpness among currently known weapons)—already explained a lot.
The durability reached 9500 points, which was exactly what Su Xiao needed. Due to the durability issue of Dragon-Slaying Flash, during the battle against the Underworld God, he had barely used Perfect Block. Even so, by the end of the battle, Dragon-Slaying Flash's durability was only a little over 200 points. When weapon durability reached this level, it became difficult to improve further. It seemed that in the future, he would need to have Dragon-Slaying Flash devour other high-durability weapons to break through the 10,000-point durability mark.
Apart from that, there was Dragon-Slaying Flash's absurdly high weapon attack power. What was surprising was that Dragon-Slaying Flash hadn't managed to break into Reincarnation Rank · Second Position. It seemed that the top two positions of Reincarnation Rank were stronger than expected.
Fortunately, Dragon-Slaying Flash hadn't reached its limit. Although it couldn't further improve its quality in the future—Reincarnation Rank being the highest—it could still devour other blade-type weapons through Supreme Blade and further increase its enhancement level.
With the current Dragon-Slaying Flash, the higher the enhancement level, the greater the improvement gained. If enhancement +19 succeeded, it would be 34408 points of sharpness × 25% = 8602 points of sharpness. Not to mention, if enhancement +20 succeeded, it would be 43010 × 25% = 10753 points of sharpness.
Subsequent enhancement levels could only be accumulated bit by bit, such as obtaining treasures like Supreme Enhancement Stone. The seller of this item was actually very reluctant to part with it, but the temptation of Immortal Will (Passive) was too great. The seller simply couldn't produce equivalent compensation in other forms, so it had to be this way.
Su Xiao didn't return to his Exclusive Room to improve Heavenly Edge Shadow. He used the teleportation array to reach the Great Gathering Place, passed through it to arrive at the public area notarized by the Void Tree, and walked into a small tavern.
The tavern was very quiet, with only a few drinkers having a small drink. After he sat down, the owner behind the bar cast a glance. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, he was about to ignore him, but the next second, his eyes widened, and his heart was extremely unsettled. However, after a moment, he averted his gaze.
Was this small tavern usually this quiet? Of course not. The drinkers who came here were actually not low in rank. Before Su Xiao walked in, they were still drinking boisterously. But after seeing Su Xiao, the faces they had seen in various news and reports suddenly reflected on their retinas. Coupled with this person's notorious reputation, the atmosphere immediately quieted down.
Before long, only Su Xiao and the owner, who was acting as the bartender, remained in the small tavern. The owner felt even more pressure and hesitated to speak several times.
Su Xiao glanced at the bartender, whose enthusiastic smile was somewhat stiff.
"..."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of Elemental Brew. This small tavern was indeed quite peculiar—it didn't serve guests and couldn't provide drinks either. It seemed one had to bring their own alcohol.
Before long, a young girl dressed in an off-white sportswear, with a fresh and refined temperament, walked into the tavern. As soon as she entered, she noticed the atmosphere was off. But when she saw the Hunter sitting alone at a small table, holding a bottle of fine wine, she roughly guessed what was going on.
"Sorry about that, bartender. Put the tables that left on my tab."
The newcomer's voice was delicate and clear, very pleasant to hear. Just by speaking, she gave people the feeling of being willing to listen to her words. This was the negotiation power of a top-tier charm system.
The bartender nodded without making a sound. Seeing this, the girl in sportswear smiled wryly, revealing small dimples. She said, "Hello, everyone calls me Dream Cat."
"Mm."
Su Xiao looked at the girl across from him. Dream Cat, who sat down opposite him, wasn't embarrassed either. Before coming, the Tuanzhang had already told her about this person's reticence. But not long after she sat down, she began to feel the pressure.
"Have we... met before?"
"No."
"Then why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my outfit today?"
Dream Cat was under considerable pressure at the moment. As a charm-type, she had negotiated with all kinds of people, and this was also her forte. Moreover, through initial communication, she could sense the aura and good-evil nature of the person opposite her. What she sensed this time was a terror akin to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In Dream Cat's eyes, the background of the man holding the wine bottle opposite her was already a dark red, with strands of darkness spreading. Those eyes that showed red light, with pitch-black pupils, were truly... extremely terrifying and full of oppressive force.
"You resemble an old acquaintance of mine."
Su Xiao spoke.
"Oh? She is your..."
"I killed her."
Su Xiao wasn't fabricating this out of thin air. The girl who called herself Dream Cat really did resemble Xi from Apocalypse Paradise. That was his first time participating in a World War, the opponent he encountered.
"Ha, haha~, what a unique fate."
Dream Cat decided to complete this transaction as quickly as possible. Being stared at by this Hunter all the time was too terrifying. Dream Cat was even a bit glad that this was the Void Tree's notarization zone.
The reason Su Xiao and Dream Cat were meeting here was to trade the God Hunter title. The appearance of this title was basically impossible to replicate.
Originally, it was planned that Su Xiao, Wandering Hunter Ross, and Dream Cat would conduct a three-party trade. Su Xiao would provide the title, Wandering Hunter Ross would provide Soul Energy Crystals, and Dream Cat would provide what Wandering Hunter Ross needed. The result was that Wandering Hunter Ross had managed to gather enough Soul Energy Crystals, but Dream Cat hadn't obtained what Ross needed.
Dream Cat compensated Ross for part of the loss. As for Soul Energy Crystals, only Law Destroyers needed them.
Thus, Ross simply went to Su Xiao for a direct trade. In the end, both parties were very satisfied. This made Dream Cat frustrated. She really needed the God Hunter title. After hesitating repeatedly, she directly contacted Su Xiao, leading to this meeting.
"Mr. White Night, although I'm called the weakest Supreme Battle Angel, I think that's prejudice."
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Dream Cat. Dream Cat's sweet smile froze a bit. She was now certain that the non-hostile negotiation effect of the charm attribute was completely useless on this person.
"Mr. White Night, I'm actually a good friend of Molei, so we are friends of a friend, which also makes us friends."
Hearing this, Su Xiao once again gazed at the girl opposite him, memorizing this face that looked quite pleasing to the eye. If they met again in the future, he could practice the mutual distribution of wealth with her.
"I always feel that it would have been better not to claim that connection. How could that sand sculpture girl Molei be reliable? I'm also a sand sculpture for believing her nonsense."
After saying this, Dream Cat sighed and took out a semi-transparent gem with golden streams flowing inside. She said, "This is a Miracle Gem. With Mr. White Night's experience, you must know what it is."
As she spoke, Dream Cat displayed the attributes of the Miracle Gem.
"Miracle Gem: Can be used on eight strongest Eternal Rank gems to complete their promotion. However, after the current gem owner dies, the limit-enhanced 'Strongest Gem' will fall back to Eternal Rank."
After putting down the Miracle Gem, Dream Cat also glanced at the Soul Gem embedded at the end of the knife handle at Su Xiao's waist.
"..."
Su Xiao picked up the Miracle Gem, examined and played with it for a moment, then put it down.
"Not enough."
Su Xiao was dissatisfied with this offer. The reason was that the Miracle Gem could be produced through the Peak Box in the Honor Shop. He didn't know the method in Apocalypse Paradise, but this item wasn't unique. The God Hunter title, on the other hand, was almost one of a kind.
Dream Cat showed a troubled expression, but in reality, she was quite confident. Her eyes flickered, and with a hint of a smile, she said:
"Then, I'll add a secret."
"..."
"Mr. White Night, we haven't worked together before, but I trust the Tuanzhang's guarantee. I can tell you this secret first."
Dream Cat smiled, revealing her dimples. A moment later, she walked out of the small tavern holding the sealed God Hunter title. In fact, before selling this title, Su Xiao had asked Xia if she needed something like Chef God Soul. After all, he had eaten quite a few free meals there, even if he had indeed forgotten.
Xia's answer was firm—absolutely not. She didn't know what the power of Divine Soul was, but she was certain that what she wanted was to reach the pinnacle of her own skill. Moreover, she could feel that her skill had reached a certain critical point. Taking one more step would bring about a significant change.
Clearly, Xia's situation was completely different from Molei's. Molei was a combat-type gradually transitioning to a resource-type. It wasn't that Molei didn't work hard or lacked talent; it was that the situations little angel Molei had experienced would have killed anyone else.
She had encountered Huishenshi and almost died. She had met Shenfu and almost died again. She had temporarily 'cooperated' with the Blood God in battle and gained the Blood God's recognition, and almost died yet again. Plus, she frequently encountered Su Xiao, which wouldn't kill her but would always make her explode with Soul Coins.
It could only be said that Molei was a miracle. No wonder she had appeared multiple times on the Apocalypse Paradise Annual Sand Sculpture Ranking.
Inside the small tavern, Su Xiao finished the bottle of fine wine. Just as he was about to get up, he remembered he hadn't paid the bill. It was indeed a habit formed from eating at Xia's place. But then he realized he hadn't even ordered any wine.
Half an hour later, in Su Xiao's Exclusive Room, he sat cross-legged in front of the Black Maple Tree. The sheathed Dragon-Slaying Flash lay flat on his legs. The Soul Gem at the end of the knife handle had a peculiar luster under the Black Maple Tree.
The intelligence Dream Cat had provided could indeed fill the gap in this transaction and was exactly what he currently needed.
Before the complete awakening of Soul Severing Shadow, his triple Soul Severing characteristics—Blade Grandmaster, Soul Severing Shadow, and Soul Gem—were unstoppable. But at the Supreme Peak, it wasn't that this method was weak, but it no longer had the dominance it once had.
In the current combination, the Soul Severing characteristic of Soul Severing Shadow, combined with the 220 points of Soul Severing intensity brought by Blade Grandmaster, worked perfectly together. If Soul Severing Shadow was a Soul Blade, then the 220 points of Soul Severing intensity from Blade Grandmaster was the sharpness of this Soul Blade.
This made the position of the Soul Gem somewhat awkward. Its Soul Severing characteristic was completely overshadowed by Soul Severing Shadow. Not to mention the Soul Gem, even the Soul Severing effect of Blade Grandmaster was far inferior to Soul Severing Shadow. The characteristic of Severing and Annihilating was too powerful.
Now, with a Miracle Gem in hand, it could be used to enhance the Soul Gem. But Su Xiao had another option: the Abyss Gem plus the Element Gem.
Su Xiao wasn't planning to use two strongest gems simultaneously. The gem curse that would trigger was no joke. This involved the secret Dream Cat had mentioned: the Abyss Gem and the Element Gem could be synthesized.
The synthesis method was to create a container, half filled with elemental energy and half with abyssal energy. Then, place the Abyss Gem into the elemental energy and the Element Gem into the abyssal energy.
In this way, the two gems would begin to attract each other and synthesize into a new gem. This gem would be both powerful and dangerous. Before recognizing its owner, it would even undergo a strong backlash.
As a charm-type, Dream Cat knew many secrets. This was one of the highest-value secrets she knew.
Su Xiao took out the Eye of Omniscience. This item could still be used three times. The Old God, Ubo Sara, had indeed fallen, but its fall wouldn't weaken the power of the Eye Ritual. On the contrary, the Eye Ritual was now stronger. This was one of the forces that had existed since ancient times.
A small amount of blood qi merged into the Eye of Omniscience. The orange-sized eyeball trembled, first growing two thin arms like matchsticks, then two equally thin legs. It stared at Su Xiao in front of it, vibrating the air to emit a dull mental fluctuation, meaning:
'Wish.'
Su Xiao weighed the situation and spoke in the Abyssal language:
"Abyss, gem."
Hearing Su Xiao speak the Abyssal language, the Eye of Omniscience was visibly startled. Then, flesh began to proliferate on this eyeball, forming a fragmentary Abyssal language text, which read:
'Abyss, cradle, mother.'
Seeing this message, Su Xiao immediately thought of the Abyss Gem being at the Dark Cradle. Among those qualified to be called mother within the Abyss, only the Dark Cradle qualified.
The Abyss Gem being in this one's hands was both easy and difficult. Easy because he had some connection with the Dark Cradle. Difficult because if the Abyss Gem held special significance in the Abyss, then forget about trading for it.
Arriving at the room where the Lord's Train was parked, Su Xiao began to construct a summoning array on the ground. After a moment, the array responded, becoming dark and surging. After activation, the figure of the Abyss Princess appeared.
"Oh~! I've arrived at a remarkable place."
The Abyss Princess looked around, her gaze fixed on the Awakening Stele.
"Does your mother have a gem?"
"Hm? How do you know? That's one of her beloved treasures."
Hearing this, Su Xiao felt a sinking feeling. It seemed that this time, he could only use the Miracle Gem to enhance the Soul Gem, hoping that the Soul Gem could develop unprecedented characteristics, at least stacking the Soul Severing intensity higher.
"This is one of mother's favorite collections."
Hearing the word 'collections,' Su Xiao knew this matter was half accomplished. He asked, "If I trade..."
"Impossible~, mother's collections all have special meaning. For mother, value isn't important; meaning is."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak and walked toward the Lord's Train. Seeing this, the Abyss Princess followed. The two arrived at the bedroom in the tail carriage and stopped in front of a display stand filled with various collections, which were:
Moon Bone: Obtained from defeating the Ancient God · Moon God. This was the first Ancient God defeated.
Crown Fragment: Obtained from defeating the Black King.
Broken Gun Blade: Weapon fragment of the Iron Feather King.
Helm Debris: Helm fragment of the Doom Number.
Withered Gem: From the Eternal Light World, embedded in the Ancestor's forehead (with a small amount of gray skin attached to a red gem).
Beast King Crown: From the Wind Sea Continent, the old Beast King's broken crown.
Witch Pendant: A gift from the Moon Witch.
Dark Gold Medal: Requires achieving Golden Faction · Permanent Hatred.
Old Sun Remnant: Sun fragments scattered when the Old Sun of Blazing Sun Star fell (the piece from the sun's core).
Transcendent Ember: Large embers produced when the God Realm transcended toward the Ten Thousand Races Realm (shaped like a semi-burning metal meteorite).
Doom Star · World Core Fragment: The largest piece among the remaining fragments.
Dark Statue (Valueless · Rare Item): Image of the previous Lord of the Abyss.
Su Xiao took down four items: the Crown Fragment, Broken Gun Blade, Helm Debris, and Witch Pendant. This meant that aside from these four, the Dark Cradle could take all the rest and choose one, at most three, in exchange for the Abyss Gem.
Seeing these collections, the Abyss Princess was quite moved. She could feel that behind each collection, there might be a magnificent story.
Su Xiao tossed out a Primordial Core. At a time like this, one couldn't be stingy. The Abyss Princess caught it and said with a smile, "Leave it to me. At most... five hours. Summon me again then."
After saying this, the Abyss Princess left with the collections, stepped back onto the teleportation array, and after a brief spatial vibration, she disappeared.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the carpet in the train's bedroom and took out a total of thirty portions of Primordial Source Matter and 300 Primordial Cores. In the past, he would have raised Heavenly Edge Shadow by 10 levels at a time. But now, with Supreme Stamina at 1150 points, there was no need for that.
[Do you want to raise the Heavenly Edge Shadow ability to Lv.130? To perform this upgrade, you need to consume 4,500,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, 300 Primordial Cores, and thirty portions of Primordial Source Matter.]
With a large amount of Space-Time Power on hand, Su Xiao chose to upgrade. All the Primordial Cores around him shattered, and the Primordial Source Matter also burst through its containers. Coupled with the surging massive Space-Time Power, under the fusion of the notarization mechanism, the three produced a unique transparent energy that continuously surged into Su Xiao's body.
An instant of darkness descended, making Su Xiao feel like he was falling. First came a vague sensation of hitting water, then a blurry sound.
Su Xiao sat up from the water, and the sounds around him began to clear.
"We are, after all, going to lose."
An old man holding a black long blade, thin but upright, stood there as if nothing could shake him. His graying hair was blown by the strong wind. The earth was dry and pale, everything in sight was like this, as if everything under the intense eternal light had become pale and withered.
On the entire battlefield, only the old man with the black blade was still alive, and he was also the strongest. Ahead, the Element Spirit King descended, holding a weapon that was like a sword or a long staff, formed from elemental power. Behind it was a strip-like cloak that slowly floated upward, like transparent thin wings.
The Element Spirit King's weapon pointed at the old man's brow. The entire Star Realm was pale and withered under the scorching elemental power. The eternal daylight caused all living beings to perish. Even the surrounding Abyss was being transformed into more elemental power due to the imbalance of elemental forces.
Yes, under extreme elemental power, the Abyss would be assimilated and transformed into elemental power, just as a dominant Abyss would swallow elemental power.
The Abyss that people feared was assimilated to distant places. The massive Abyss drifting entities there all kept their distance from this glaring elemental power.
A golden glimmer appeared in the center of the old man's pupils. He became stronger. His graying hair flying, he exuded authority without anger.
At this moment, above.
A figure sat on a high throne above, his elbow resting on the armrest, his hand supporting his cheek as he looked down at everything. He did not interfere, because back then, he was certainly not as powerful as he was now. But for those who trusted and supported him, he had defeated the Element Spirit King of that time. However, that was meaningless. Once the Element or Abyss completed large-scale erosion, everything would be too late. One could only wait for the Element/Abyss to calm down and rebalance, ushering in the next great era. Unless one could stop it when the Abyss/Element had just begun to spread.
The spread of the Abyss might still be manageable, but once elemental power went berserk, the transformation was too fast.
To put it more intuitively, the Abyss eroded inward, first swallowing the elemental barrier, then invading the Star Realm. The Element assimilated outward, transforming vast Abyss regions into elemental regions, then scorching the Star Realm within to a pale, withered state.
Boom!
The old man with the black blade charged forward fiercely, his black blade meeting the elemental weapon...
Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. His breathing quickened a bit. Calming his breath, he was certain that what he had just seen was the end of the ancient era.
He checked the time—over four hours had passed. He examined the now-upgraded Heavenly Edge Shadow ability.
[Heavenly Edge Shadow, Lv.130 (Extreme Technique · Passive)]
Basic Effect: All technique ability comprehensive intensity increased by 750% (increased by 283%).
Skill Effect: Extreme Blade (Exclusive Passive), this characteristic is the 'Move Foundation' of the current technique ability. All your technique ability moves used with the long blade in hand will have their comprehensive power fixed based on this ability...
Current Extreme Blade · Foundation Intensity: 430 points.
Extreme Effect 1: Heavenly Edge Shadow (Extreme · Exclusive Passive), your blade technique ability will no longer be confined to past blade moves. You can, based on different worlds, different environments, and different enemies, execute blade moves highly suited to the current battle and environment, and even temporarily draw on the power of the current environment to further enhance the power of your blade moves.
Extreme Effect 2: Selfless Realm (Extreme · Exclusive Passive), enter the 'Selfless Realm,' temporarily forget all past blade moves, retaining only the one blade move currently in use, and elevate it to the extreme.
Current Selfless Realm Enhancement Limit: 21.6 times move power.
Note: This characteristic was originally supposed to increase from '7.7 times move power' to '12.7 times move power.' However, because your Heavenly Edge Shadow had an additional enhancement at Lv.100 and Lv.120, the stacking of these two additional enhancements has raised 'Selfless Realm' from 12.7 times move power to the current '21.6 times move power.'
Su Xiao had been somewhat worried before that Heavenly Edge Shadow would develop into too bloated a system. If it gained two more additional characteristics, that would definitely not be a good thing. As for the enhancement of Selfless Realm, this blade technique ultimate move that had successfully shattered the Doom Star needed no further questioning of its value.
Leaving the Lord's Train, Su Xiao activated the summoning array he had set up earlier. After a moment, there was a response.
Thump~
The space vibrated. The Abyss Princess appeared, staggered a few steps, and sat down on the ground. She looked up at Su Xiao with a somewhat resentful gaze.
"Can't you use a different spatial array?"
"Don't know how."
Such a simple explanation left the Abyss Princess speechless. She took out the various collections she had brought back and finally produced a gem the size of a lychee, completely pitch-black. Surprisingly, what had been exchanged for this Abyss Gem was:
[Dark Statue (Valueless · Rare Item): Image of the previous Lord of the Abyss.]
"Mission complete. I'm leaving."
The Abyss Princess left. Su Xiao had Baha return the several collection items to their places. He took out the Eye of Omniscience again.
After a moment, he put away the Eye of Omniscience, which could still be used once. The answer given by the Eye of Omniscience was actually a symbol:
ψ
This was the symbol representing the Void Tree. However, before using the Eye of Omniscience, Su Xiao had already tried using the Void Tree Vault Application Authorization III (30% Off). Neither the Abyss Gem nor the Element Gem was in the Void Tree Vault.
Su Xiao thought for a while and tried to send an application to the Void Tree to purchase the Element Gem. The answer he got was:
[Your Void Tree Reputation is too low, and this item cannot be obtained through trade or purchase.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao understood what was going on. He took out his communicator and contacted Molei. After waiting for over ten minutes, Molei answered. From the sound of her voice, she had just woken up.
"Help me with something."
"Sure~"
Molei seemed on the verge of falling asleep again.
"Try sending an application to the Void Tree to exchange the Soul Gem for the Element Gem."
After hearing Su Xiao's words, Molei was no longer sleepy and even sat up, because she was afraid that this Law Destroyer was about to do something strange again.
After swearing on the Law Destroyer's reputation proved useless, and then on his personal reputation, Molei believed him a bit. Before leaving the Exclusive Room, Su Xiao paid 150,000 Soul Coins to safely remove the Soul Gem from Dragon-Slaying Flash.
First, they arrived at the Great Gathering Place, then the fully open area notarized by the Void Tree. In a cold drink shop, Su Xiao saw Molei.
With Molei's Void Tree Reputation, the application naturally succeeded. She bit her straw, her gaze somewhat evasive, and said:
"It requires 50,100 ounces of Space-Time Power as the exchange fee."
"..."
Su Xiao directly transferred 51,000 ounces of Space-Time Power. This stunned Molei. She hesitated to speak and finally said dejectedly, "Sorry, I wanted to skim 100 ounces as a handling fee."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, but Molei suddenly felt that silence spoke louder than words. It was as if this Hunter was saying, it's fine, I'll take it back next time I meet you. The Space-Time Power is just temporarily stored with you. Don't feel guilty.
The more Molei thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she angrily exchanged for the Element Gem and handed it to Su Xiao.
Five hours later, in Su Xiao's Exclusive Room, inside the Alchemy Laboratory, the container designed to hold both Abyssal and Elemental energies had been completed. Half was filled with Abyssal power, half with Elemental power. The two were distinct, yet there was a feeling of them assimilating/swallowing each other.
Su Xiao placed the Abyss Gem into the Elemental power and the Element Gem into the Abyssal energy. The next moment, a massive wave of energy rushed toward him. The two gems clicked together with a sound, and the fusion began.
