Chapter 2: Activation
Blood dripped along the blade's tip, falling onto the deathly silent Star Plaza. A crowd of spellcasters stared in shock at the headless corpse of Raging Sea·Helse lying on the ground. As the supreme spellcasters, the Apocalypse Envoy·Galuona and the Red Lion·Kui Lei both felt a chill run through their bodies at this moment.
"Either we kill him, or he kills us. There's no other choice."
The Gale King, no, it should be the Mad King·Erode, spoke in a deep voice. His words immediately dispelled the thoughts of those spellcasters who, driven by fear, were considering a temporary retreat. Arcane Eternal Star had made too many enemies during its years of dominance. Once the spellcaster faction was broken, even if the low and mid-rank spellcasters managed to escape, they would face endless sieges from all major forces.
As for joining Su Xiao in a direct confrontation with Arcane Eternal Star, the major forces still didn't dare. However, they would be very enthusiastic about beating the dogs that fell after Arcane Eternal Star's defeat and fled across the Star Realm. Perhaps among these beaten dogs, someone had taken the opportunity to steal some secret treasure from Arcane Eternal Star. Killing such a dog would bring a huge windfall.
One must remember, Arcane Eternal Star hadn't declined. If one carefully recalled its true strength—four pinnacles, numerous supremes and absolute strengths—it was only because it didn't want to force the major forces of the Star Realm to unite out of excessive fear that it had only revealed Soul Master as a pinnacle powerhouse.
Looking at other major forces in the Star Realm, excluding places like Doom Star, the Witch Realm had the Moon Witch and hadn't been externally disturbed for years. Wind Sea couldn't be counted; this transcendent realm had nothing but war, and its resources were nearly depleted. Which major force would attack Wind Sea Continent? They'd be waiting for a huge loss.
As for major forces like the Devil Clan and the Feather Clan, they had supremes within their clans, and they also had pinnacles, but those were slumbering ancestors. Not to mention whether they could be awakened, even if awakened, they'd be at the bottom of the pinnacle ranks. Even so, they still served as a powerful deterrent.
In truth, it wasn't that the deterrent power of pinnacles had decreased. The core issue was that Su Xiao had killed too many pinnacle supremes: Spider Lady, Night Mother, Scaleless Sea King, Soul Master, Old God, Underworld God, and now Raging Sea·Helse.
Therefore, it was said that Arcane Eternal Star wasn't declining but was about to suddenly die. This also meant that Arcane Eternal Star's wealth was at its peak, not that after gradually weakening, its exterior was glamorous while its vast treasure vault only contained scrap metal. Now, the entire vault was stuffed full of good things.
Tap, tap, tap~
The Mad King·Erode walked over step by step. His long hair flew wildly, his pupils contracted and turned dark red. A massive amount of natural elements had gathered within his body, forming a pure white ring mark in the center of his bare chest. The elemental weapon in his hand had a visible heaviness; just by intuition, one could tell it was one of the heaviest greatsword-like weapons in the Star Realm.
The will of the Gale King was evaporating, replaced by the stronger Mad King·Erode. However, although Erode was half-mad, he was very certain of one thing: if he didn't continue burning his consciousness to enhance his power, he wouldn't even qualify to be this enemy's opponent, let alone defeat him.
Boom!
The earth trembled. The Mad King·Erode suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao, dragging a black world-cutting mark with his elemental weapon as he slashed down.
Clang!
The long blade met the elemental weapon. With a crack, the armor on the Mad King·Erode's right arm, which held the weapon, shattered from the immense force, revealing the bloody and mangled arm beneath.
Whoosh! The Mad King·Erode flew backward as a blur, repelled once again. Mid-flight, his teeth began to sharpen like a beast's. Although it was only shock damage, the disparity in power infuriated him to the extreme.
With a rumble, the Mad King·Erode, whose height had increased from over two meters to three and a half meters, landed heavily. He held his elemental weapon in one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other, blood dripping from his chin.
"Lord Gale King, you..."
An absolute-strength spellcaster stepped forward. Seeing this, Sefeiliya and several old supreme spellcasters' expressions changed drastically. Sefeiliya shouted:
"Don't get close..."
Bang! The Mad King·Erode's clawed hand grabbed the absolute-strength spellcaster. Amidst his terrified screams, Erode bit off his head in one gulp. In a very short time, the spellcaster was devoured in a few bites. The former Erode was indeed mad, but not like a wild beast as he was now. The reason for this was his attempt to transform into a Spirit King, but the success rate was definitely zero.
The Mad King·Erode did this to pursue another extreme: becoming a mad beast after failing to transform into an Elemental Spirit King. He would surely lose everything and die after this battle, but that was what the Gale King wanted. As long as this great enemy was killed, most of Arcane Eternal Star's deadlock would be broken. What followed would be dealing with the major forces after the Abyss invasion.
Once this Abyss calamity was survived, elemental power would grow for several epochs. At that time, the spellcasters' act of devouring natural elements would no longer be hated but respected and necessary. Excessive elemental power would also cause calamities. That would be the true rise of Arcane Eternal Star, not like now, forcibly suppressing through power.
However, the Gale King no longer knew any of this. After beginning his transformation into an elemental beast, all that remained in his heart was further extracting power and killing.
Clang!
The long blade and elemental weapon clashed again. Suddenly, everything around Su Xiao slowed down, and the Mad King·Erode's lost reason began to reverse. It was the work of another pinnacle present, the Old Mage·Beka.
The Mad King leaped back, and various magical attacks rained down on Su Xiao. A stream of orange-red flame shot forth. The temperature of this elemental flame was so high that it momentarily exceeded the limit of Solar Flame.
When the absolute-strength and supreme magical abilities subsided a bit, Su Xiao, who had raised one hand to block at his side, glanced over. These annoying spellcasters had bombarded him with various not-so-powerful magical abilities for quite a while. They weren't very harmful but were extremely irritating.
He made a single slashing motion in the air.
Boom!!
The slashing force from that one strike spread out in a fan shape. The Old Mage·Beka, standing at the front of the spellcasters, pointed his staff forward. A tortoise-shell-like translucent defense formed. As the fierce slashing force passed, the outer ring of this defense shattered, leaving only the core part, about two meters in diameter.
The slashing force swept through. Except for the few spellcasters behind the Old Mage·Beka, everyone else, despite using all kinds of life-saving measures, was instantly cut into large pieces of shattered bones that scattered backward. The scene was brutal yet clean.
The Apocalypse Envoy·Galuona and Mage Sage Sefeiliya were both behind the Old Mage. The Red Lion·Kui Lei wasn't so lucky, but his actual strength was decent. His right arm was missing, his left arm was nothing but bones, and the right side of his head was exposed. Such severe injuries forced him to one knee.
The Old Mage lightly touched his staff to the Red Lion·Kui Lei's forehead, and his injuries rapidly healed. It wasn't treatment but a true reversal of everything that had happened.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
Su Xiao, who had once again sent the Mad King flying with his third strike, noticed the Old Mage's troublesome nature. He made another slashing motion in the air, meeting the oncoming Mad King.
Clang!
The elemental weapon clashed against the dark blue slashing light. The Mad King stopped a few meters from Su Xiao. Su Xiao stepped forward and delivered a straight kick.
Boom!
Before the kick even landed, the Mad King felt a terrifying wind pressure rushing toward his face. Almost instinctively, he brought his elemental weapon up to block in front of him.
Thud!!!
It was like a meteorite slamming at full speed into Arcane Eternal Star's Star Plaza. Several layers of the plaza's surface were instantly torn up. The Mad King turned into a blur, leaving only a trail of blood in the air, which slowly fell to the ground.
Su Xiao vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the Old Mage·Beka.
'Time.'
The Old Mage sighed and pointed his staff at the approaching Su Xiao. Su Xiao felt that he was about to be reversed in time, as if he would be regressed to a childhood state.
'Extreme Realm·Star Realm.'
Thud! Everything within a 50,000-meter radius centered on Su Xiao came to a standstill.
The long blade slashed through the Old Mage's head, then his neck, and then his torso. Su Xiao's blade became a blur. For a moment, his right arm and the blade seemed to disappear, leaving only slashing lights that passed through the Old Mage.
Zheng!
All the slashes merged into one sound. The 'Star Realm Standstill' disappeared. The Old Mage's shattered pupils rapidly contracted. With a trembling voice, he said:
"Star Realm..."
As his words fell, blood lines appeared on the Old Mage's body. The 'Absolute Power·Causal Penetration' caused his life cores to shatter one after another. But the next second, this always listless Old Mage suddenly grinned. His smile was ferocious and heartfelt, so wide that one could see his flat teeth, stained with a bit of blood, and his gums.
"You really think that we, from the ancient era, had no way to deal with Extreme Realm Grandmasters?"
The Old Mage's smile became even more terrifying. Behind him, an existence from beyond the realm, formed by a massive number of skulls, appeared faintly. It wasn't something that could be described as evil or eerie; a more accurate term would be 'anomaly.' This was the method used to deal with Extreme Realm practitioners in ancient times.
The Old Mage's aged face even took on some of Su Xiao's features. As all 40 of his 'Alien Life Cores' shattered, he waited for the Extreme Realm Grandmaster opposite him to suddenly spew blood from seven orifices and then fall in unwillingness. In ancient times, Extreme Realm practitioners wouldn't easily personally kill secret arts masters, especially pinnacle secret arts masters. After all, this was still an era before the rise of the Extreme Realm. Even if there were powerful Extreme Realm practitioners, their experience and knowledge in this area were far from sufficient.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness washed over the Old Mage. He sighed inwardly. So this was what it felt like to trigger the 'Alien Life Cores'? The cost of forming them was enormous. Although there were many of these 'Alien Life Cores,' they didn't have the characteristics of normal life cores. Their sole function was backlash—to backlash against the one who killed their owner, especially against physically powerful Extreme Realm practitioners. The power of this backlash would be even greater.
Not only did these 'Alien Life Cores' not provide self-preservation or life force, but during their existence, they required the owner's life force to nourish them to prevent further alienation.
In the Old Mage's eyes, the Law Destroyer opposite him changed expression slightly, covering his mouth with one hand. But the blood he spat still seeped through his fingers. Seeing this, the Old Mage felt relieved. The next step would be the miserable scene of blood spraying from seven orifices and the body collapsing.
However, the Old Mage's smile suddenly froze. He saw that the Law Destroyer, after spitting blood, simply shook the blood off his hand. There was no sign of unwillingness in the face of death, at most a bit of... lingering fear?
With a thud, the Old Mage, whose own life cores were all shattered and who had detonated all his 'Alien Life Cores,' fell weakly. His eyes were wide open, waiting for the Law Destroyer to fall. But what he saw was the Law Destroyer slashing the Mad King back again and then appearing beside the Apocalypse Envoy·Galuona in the next instant.
Bang!
With a side kick, the Apocalypse Envoy·Galuona exploded directly. The bone fragments from her explosion pierced multiple bloody holes through Sefeiliya's body. As the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy spread, the severely wounded Sefeiliya fell.
Witnessing all this, the dying Old Mage's eyes bulged to their limit. Forty 'Alien Life Cores' corresponded to the backlash of 40 'Extreme Realm Life Cores.' Extreme Realm practitioners indeed had powerful physiques, but at the pinnacle supreme level, it was impossible to have so many life cores! Absolutely impossible!
Yes, the Old Mage from the ancient era had indeed seen many Extreme Realm practitioners. In the past, his close friend had perished together with a powerful Extreme Realm practitioner. In his life, he had witnessed multiple successful cases where 'Alien Life Cores' backlashed against Extreme Realm practitioners, exchanging one life for another.
But the Old Mage must have never encountered an Extreme Realm practitioner who owned his own 'Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Pod,' nor did he know that Su Xiao now had 'Supreme All Main Attributes.' Increasing 1 point of Supreme Stamina grew 5 life cores, meaning he now had a cap of 86 life cores!
For Su Xiao, having 40 life cores suddenly backlashed by a sinister power seemingly from a distant, unknown chaos was indeed a bit unsettling. But there was certainly no emotion of unwillingness before death. At most, he thought, 'Only 46 life cores left. That was dangerous.'
"This... is impossible."
Having said this, the light in the Old Mage's eyes faded. It was proven that the trump card of the previous era didn't work against the Extreme Realm practitioner of the current era.
On the shattered Star Plaza, Su Xiao held Sefeiliya by the neck with one hand, looking at this spellcaster with a puzzled expression. His feeling was strange. Whether in his perception or the soul aura he touched with his own hand, it had gone from complete just moments ago to only a small part remaining. It seemed to be some kind of clone ability of this spellcaster.
Crack, crack, crack~
Aoge crystals spread on Su Xiao's hand, beginning to erode Sefeiliya's neck. It had to be said that although this female spellcaster was not young, her appearance was definitely among the top tier in the Star Realm, the kind that could really fight. Coupled with her temperament, it was no wonder she had been targeted by Green Gillian back then.
With her throat constricted, Cyan Steel Shadow Energy surging through her body, and her body completely numb, Sefeiliya showed no fear in her eyes. Instead, she said coldly:
"You... will come... to be buried with us..."
Crack!
Su Xiao crushed Sefeiliya's neck without a word. Speaking of which, his hatred for Arcane Eternal Star had grown larger and larger, and it was really thanks to this Mage Sage.
Su Xiao's gaze turned to a figure like an elemental beast—the Mad King, who had devoured a massive amount of elemental power. The amount of elemental power he had swallowed this time was so exaggerated that black, seeping spots faintly appeared in the air of Arcane Eternal Star. This was a slight permeation of Abyss power due to the element becoming too thin.
With his strength raised to its current level, Su Xiao really did hope to find an opponent. Looking at the Mad King now, he estimated, maybe this could be an opponent?
Boom!
The ground beneath Su Xiao's feet cracked. He appeared ferociously in front of the Mad King and slashed down with his long blade.
Clang!
The Mad King blocked with his elemental weapon. Layers of shockwaves spread outward, and the surrounding space shattered with a crackling sound.
"Roar!!"
With a furious roar, cracks appeared on the Mad King's right arm but healed instantly. It was worth noting that the elemental weapon the Mad King now held was slightly different from before. The previous one had been kicked into a U-shape by Su Xiao.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Su Xiao delivered three consecutive slashes. The more he fought, the more he felt his blood finally ignite. He slashed down again with force. Bang! The Mad King's elemental weapon was shattered, but it quickly reformed.
'Extreme Blade·Heavy Moon.'
The slashing force, permeated with heavy blackness, pressed down ferociously, causing blood to spray from the Mad King's entire body.
'Extreme Blade·Black Moon.'
The three overlapping black moons in the sky disappeared. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand turned into a black blade. He slashed down. The gravity immediately sealed the Mad King in place. Seeing this, Su Xiao delivered a straight kick with maximum power penetration.
Bang!
The power penetrated the Mad King's body, forcing out the elemental power he hadn't had time to devour. The Mad King staggered back a few steps and then fell to one knee.
Puchi!
'Extreme Blade·Star Piercer' failed to pierce the Mad King's head. Instead, it first pierced his claw, was deflected by it, and pierced his shoulder.
Crack, crack, crack~
The shoulder pierced by Dragon-Slaying Flash instantly crystallized into Aoge. Su Xiao flicked his long blade. With a crackling sound, the Mad King's left arm and a small part of his left body shattered.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Su Xiao delivered five heavy slashes in a row. He didn't retreat a single step. His moves seemed simple and unadorned but were unstoppable. In contrast, the Mad King not only retreated continuously but also left large patches of blood mixed with elemental power along the way.
Not giving the Mad King any breathing room, Su Xiao stepped forward. Without any setup or suppression, he slashed out.
'Selfless Realm·Fallen World.'
The long blade turned into a brilliant gold. It slashed onto the elemental weapon.
First, a moment of silence. The next second, golden light spread.
Thud!!!
Looking down from above, it was simply a golden meteorite crashing onto Arcane Eternal Star. The Star Plaza was the first to become flat ground. Then, the 'Midday Academy' and 'Lakeside Dormitory' were all blasted into building fragments by the golden slashing impact.
The entire 'Silver Moon Lake' was lifted up. The water surged into the more peripheral forest area. The entire 'Silver Moon Lake' turned into a giant pit. This wasn't the end. The impact instantly flattened the forest area.
This was only the situation on the east side of 'Star City Plaza.' On the north side, the 'Void Great Library,' its barrier rumbled and nearly half collapsed. This great library was sturdy enough, and the distance was indeed far. But the exterior of the building was covered in furrows, some penetrating the walls, allowing a view of the library's interior.
On the west side, the 'Great Bell Tower,' the headquarters of the Soul faction, was now truly a pile of ruins.
On the south side, the 'Dark Ring River' was also dispersed by the slashing force. However, the barrier of the 'Black Maple Courtyard' was indeed sturdy. But after the 'Fallen World' slashing force spread, the spellcasters stationed outside the 'Black Maple Courtyard' were instantly cleared.
Compared to being on Arcane Eternal Star, the projection in the council hall of the Ten Thousand Races Realm·Starlight City was actually more spectacular.
Through the high-altitude projection, the clan leaders of the major forces saw an impact spread in the central area of Arcane Eternal Star, flattening about 80% of its various buildings. The former spellcaster headquarters had turned into a ruin. Large areas of space were shattered, and the world region was covered in slashing marks, from which black liquid seeped.
It had to be said that Arcane Eternal Star was indeed much sturdier than Doom Star. Moreover, Arcane Eternal Star was bearing the aftermath of the attack, while Doom Star, due to the Underworld God's influence, was bearing Su Xiao's attacks directly. The two situations were completely different.
The scene of doom was what Arcane Eternal Star looked like now. At the center of the battle, Su Xiao held his long blade, its tip touching the forehead of the Mad King, who was on one knee, covered in cracks.
One of the Mad King's pupils was shattered. The other regained a bit of reason, indicating that before death, the Gale King's consciousness had temporarily awakened again.
"Defeated, huh."
The Gale King sighed. The long blade swept across. With a crackling sound, the Gale King shattered into elemental material fragments, scattering in a semi-circle and gradually evaporating into natural elements. Having devoured elemental power all his life, he ultimately shattered into natural elements.
Shaking the long blade to fling off the elemental blood, Su Xiao sheathed the blade. He felt a slight regret. The Mad King was indeed quite strong, but still couldn't become an evenly matched opponent. Moreover, the gap was significant. As for Arcane Eternal Star's various defensive measures and trump cards, there were indeed many, over a thousand. But under absolute power, all of this was meaningless.
Blood Qi gathered in Su Xiao's hand, forming a blood core several meters in diameter. This blood core shot into the sky and stopped in midair. The next second, strands of blood threads shot out, tracking all enemies with blood Qi fluctuations within this large area. Although after the impact of that slash just now, there should be very few surviving spellcasters in this area.
Su Xiao walked towards the [Elemental Superconductivity Tower]. During the previous battle, this thing had bombarded him quite a bit. He arrived at the sealed front of the [Elemental Superconductivity Tower] and delivered a straight kick.
Thud!!!
The entire Arcane Eternal Star seemed to shake. The power of Su Xiao's straight kick now was best understood by the beast-like Mad King. If he hadn't used his elemental weapon to block the first one, he would have been in trouble. As for the second kick, the straight kick with power penetration characteristics was mainly for control, not power.
The main gate of the [Elemental Superconductivity Tower] shattered with a bang. Su Xiao stepped inside. Just as he was about to clear the area, he saw that in the empty first floor, besides the diffused blood mist, there were no intact spellcasters.
Going up all the way, he encountered no other spellcasters. On the fifth floor, seeing the activated large teleportation array, he knew the spellcasters here had already fled. As for pursuit, the major forces of the Star Realm wouldn't let these low and mid-rank spellcasters go. As for the mid and high ranks of Arcane Eternal Star, more than 80% had died in the previous battle.
When Su Xiao arrived in front of the tall double metal doors on the top floor, he pushed them open. The scene before him wasn't luxurious. On both sides were stepped display stands, lined with rows of wooden carved figurines about 20 centimeters tall. They looked like memorial tablets for the deceased. On the stepped display stands on both sides, there were tens of thousands of these memorial carvings densely packed.
After passing these memorial carvings, there was a metal high seat in front. The person who often sat here sleeping was no longer present.
Behind the iron-black metal high seat, there were also a few memorial carvings. However, among the five positions, one was empty. It didn't look like a missing memorial carving. No one would come here to steal this thing. The risk and reward were too disproportionate. This empty spot seemed more like it was intentionally left.
After a while, Su Xiao left this place without damaging the furnishings. The true victory was to personally kill the Supreme Being in the future, not to take the opportunity to vent anger by wantonly destroying this place after the other party had left due to the power of the notarization.
Walking out of the [Elemental Superconductivity Tower], Su Xiao looked up at the blood core in the sky. With the previous battle and this item, those petty thieves coveting Arcane Eternal Star's rare treasures wouldn't dare to act rashly for now. A Law-Destroying Teleportation Array formed beneath his feet.
Thud!
Su Xiao disappeared from his spot. After a while, at the 'Green Shade Wetland' in the Void, before the most special Abyss passage in the Star Realm.
Space shattered. Thick, liquid-like Abyss energy splashed. The major forces of the Star Realm had long noticed the particularity of this place. Therefore, they had arranged core members of their respective forces nearby. Now, over a thousand people had gathered here. Among them, the Feather Clan and Demon Clan were the majority, with many Devil Clan members as well. There were also members of the Star Clan and Soul Clan.
These people all showed vigilance due to the spatial boom. When they saw the appearance of the newcomer, everyone present subconsciously stepped back a few steps. This person's fearsome reputation—saying everyone in the Void knew it was an exaggeration—but these core members of the major Star Realm forces were very clear about it.
Ignoring these people, Su Xiao looked towards the direction of the 'Special Abyss Passage.' Without needing to get close, he knew this Abyss passage had a big problem. The black rock that had spread around was the most intuitive reaction after the Abyss energy's violent erosion of the Star Realm.
On both sides of the 'Special Abyss Passage,' towering black rock walls formed a path several hundred meters wide leading forward. The sky above was pitch black. Ahead was surging Abyss energy. Therefore, all the members of the major forces were only at the entrance. No one dared to go forward. Not everyone had Abyss resistance.
Just as Su Xiao was about to step forward, a tall Rock Clan member behind him shouted, "Brother, dangerous!"
This Rock Clan brother was clearly not from a major force. He should be from a nearby race, here to confirm the situation due to the abnormal intensification here. The Rock Clan brother's shout startled several people nearby, who immediately distanced themselves from him.
"Mm."
Su Xiao nodded to the Rock Clan brother and then walked into the spreading Abyss energy ahead.
Everyone looked at the Rock Clan brother in unison, secretly admiring his courage. They also began to doubt the reputation of Kukulin Bai Ye, who was said to kill and exterminate entire clans at the slightest provocation. This person seemed... not so hard to get along with? Probably not as violent as the rumors suggested? Regarding this, Arcane Eternal Star had something to say.
Su Xiao walked into the Abyss energy. His Abyss vision allowed him to see the scene ahead. The 'Special Abyss Passage,' previously sealed by the 'Dark Moon Star Ring,' was now open. After expanding to a kilometer scale, it transformed into a faint Abyss Gate.
In front of the Abyss Gate stood a figure. It was the Mage Sage Sefeiliya, whose clone had just been killed. She grabbed both sides of the 'Dark Moon Star Ring' with her hands. The star ring was already covered in cracks.
Bang!
The star ring shattered. The Abyss Gate behind gradually materialized.
Sefeiliya's eyes were exceptionally bright at this moment. She smiled beautifully, her gaze burning as she looked at Su Xiao, waiting to enjoy the enemy's anger. She had personally destroyed the seal she had always maintained and knew that the Abyss Gate was about to open. The Star Realm... was about to enter the Abyss era. Just as speculated, Arcane Eternal Star, this train without brakes traveling at full speed, was going to drag everyone into hell. Either remain the overlord forever, or bring destruction.
However, Sefeiliya saw no anger on Su Xiao's face. Instead, it was calm. He didn't even look at her but looked up at the Abyss Gate.
"Pukuhuamudu (Abyss language)."
A dignified and heavy Abyss language came from within the Abyss Gate. It was the Lord of the Abyss. Su Xiao could naturally understand what the other party said. The other party said:
'Your destined fate will be my collection.'
Su Xiao placed one hand on the hilt of his blade and also spoke in Abyss language:
"I'll kill you."
The mutual greeting between Su Xiao and the Lord of the Abyss before the battle made Sefeiliya truly angry—the anger of being ignored.
Severely eroded by the Abyss, Sefeiliya's elemental power seemed ready to erupt.
Zheng!
A blade light flashed and was gone. Sefeiliya covered her throat with both hands. As a newly promoted supreme, without even a life core, and having lost a third of her life origin and causality, it was too fantastical for her to withstand this throat-cutting slash. Her vision blurred rapidly. What she finally saw was the back of the Law Destroyer walking away step by step, until her vision turned into darkness.
The once lofty Mage Sage Sefeiliya ultimately died under the Law Destroyer's blade.
After Su Xiao walked out of the Abyss spread area, a teleportation array formed beneath his feet. He checked the newly appeared announcement.
[Announcement (Void Tree): The Abyss is expected to fully invade in 52 hours. All contractors, hunters, arbiters, death rangers, battle angels, pioneers, executioners, violators, etc., will be forcibly conscripted by their respective Paradise factions, responsible for combat, battlefield supply, equipment maintenance, and related tasks.]
[Announcement (Void Tree): The Abyss campaign will officially begin in 52 hours. All Paradise factions will enter the final campaign state!]
[Announcement (Void Tree): There are a total of three most important personnel for this Abyss campaign. They are:]
Reincarnation Paradise·001st Hunter, General Commander of the 'Void Region' for this Abyss Campaign.
Apocalypse Paradise·001st Battle Angel, Logistics Chief for this Abyss Campaign.
Reincarnation Paradise·002nd Hunter (Kukulin Bai Ye), Captain of the Strongest Reinforcements Squad for this Abyss Campaign (If there is no destruction-level risk on a theater defense line, each theater cannot request the reinforcement of this 'Overlord Unit'!).
