The equipment strengthening machine stopped running. Su Xiao took out the Dragon Slaying Flash from its sheath from the iron-black tray and unsheathed the long sword.
Bang!
The sound of the equipment enhancement machine being punched diagonally behind made everyone raise their eyebrows. Standing in front of the equipment enhancement machine, the enhancement merchant man breathed out sweet fragrance. After all, the consecutive enhancements of +1 and +2 failed, and everyone would be angry.
gush.
The long sword was sheathed, and Su Xiao quietly left the equipment enhancement hall. Although inside, the enhanced weapon would shrink its edge by default, but the current Dragon Slaying Flash still has a sense of constant sharpness, just seeing it
The sharp blade and the eyes were stung by the sting, which made it hurt.
[Dragon Killing Flash +18]
Origin: Shadow of Destruction.
Quality: Samsara level·Third position.
Category: Long Knife.
Durability: 9500/9500 points.
Attack power: 5290~5560 points (the lower limit of attack is increased by 4050 points, and the upper limit of attack is increased by 4105 points).
Supreme Blade Effect 2: Demonic Blade (Core·Active), after activating the demonic spirit of the blade, when attacking an enemy unit with a "total health value" of less than 30% with this weapon, the unit can be killed.
The current strength of the Blade Demon is: 6605 points.

Inlay effect: 3/3 pieces.
Soul Gem (eternal gem): This weapon gains the soul-killing effect.
Score: 30,000+ points (the score of reincarnation-level weapons is 15,000 to 30,000 points).
Introduction: Kill gods and defeat evil, kill thousands of enemies, exterminate souls and seize souls, and level the abyss of darkness.
…
After "Dragon Slaying Flash" is strengthened to +18, it directly climbs to the third position in the reincarnation level. Not to mention other things, the sharpness of 34408 points is already difficult for other sharp weapons to match, and the paragraph marked below (currently known weapons
, the highest sharpness), which has explained many problems.
The durability has reached 9500 points, which is what Su Xiao needs. Due to the durability problem of Dragon Slaying Flash, he didn't use "Perfect Block" much in the battle against Hades. Even so, at the end of the battle, Slash
The durability of Dragon Flash is only over 200 points. The weapon's durability has reached this point and it is beginning to be difficult to improve. It seems that in the future, it will be through devouring other high-durability weapons to make the durability of Dragon Flash exceed 10,000 points.
In addition, the weapon attack power of Dragon Slayer Flash is ridiculously high. What is surprising is that Dragon Slayer Flash did not reach the second position of the Samsara Level. It seems that the top two of the Samsara Level are more powerful than expected.
powerful.
Fortunately, Dragon Slaying Flash has not reached the upper limit. Although the quality cannot be further improved in the future, the reincarnation level is the highest, but it can swallow other sword weapons through the "Supreme Blade" and further increase the enhancement level.
The current level of Dragon Slaying Flash is that the higher the enhancement level, the greater the improvement. If the enhancement to +19 is successful, it will be 34408 points of sharpness × 25% = 8602 points of sharpness. Not to mention, if the enhancement to +20 is successful, it will be
43010×25%=10753 points of sharpness.
Subsequent enhancement levels can only be accumulated bit by bit. For example, if you get a treasure like the "Highest Level Enhancement Stone", the seller of this item is actually very reluctant to sell it. However, the temptation of "Immortal Will (Passive)" is too great.
Then the seller really can't offer other chips of equal value, that's all.
Su Xiao did not go back to the exclusive room to upgrade "Tianfeng Shadow Slash". He went to the gathering place through the teleportation array, walked through the gathering place to the public area of the Void Tree Notarization, and walked into a tavern.
The tavern was very quiet, with only a few drinkers having a drink. After sitting down, the owner of the bar glanced at him. Seeing that he looked unfamiliar, he was ready to ignore it, but the next second, his eyes widened, and he felt very uneasy. However, after a moment
Finally, he narrowed his eyes.
Is this tavern usually so quiet? Of course not. The drinkers who come here are actually of a high level. Before Su Xiao walked into this place, they were busy drinking. But after seeing Su Xiao, they used to be in various news
, the face seen in the report suddenly appeared on the retina, and coupled with this person's notoriety, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a while, only Su Xiao and the bartender were left in the tavern. The boss was even more stressed and hesitated to speak several times.
Su Xiao glanced at the bartender, whose warm smile was a little stiff.
"..."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of elemental wine. This tavern is quite strange. It doesn't entertain guests and can't serve wine. It seems that you have to bring your own wine.
After a while, a girl wearing an off-white sportswear with a fresh and refined temperament walked into the tavern. As soon as she entered, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right, but when she saw the hunter drinking alone at the small table with a bottle of wine,
She roughly guessed what was going on.
"I'm sorry, bartender, I'll take charge of the tables left."
The voice of the visitor is delicate and clear, and it sounds very comfortable. Just by speaking, people feel like they are willing to listen to her words. This is the negotiation power of the top charm system.
The bartender nodded and remained silent. Seeing this, the girl in sportswear smiled bitterly. She smiled with her dimples and said, "Hello, everyone calls me Mengmao."
"Um."
Su Xiao looked at the girl opposite. Meng Mao, who was sitting opposite, was not embarrassed. Before coming, the group leader had told him about this girl's silence, but not long after she sat down, she began to feel the pressure.
"Have we met before?"
"without."
"Then why do you look at me like this? What's wrong with my clothes today?"
Meng Mao is under a lot of pressure at the moment. As a charm type, she has negotiated with various people, which is what she is best at. And, just through preliminary communication, she can feel the aura and good and evil of the person opposite.
, and what I felt this time was as terrifying as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In Meng Mao's eyes, the background of the man holding a wine bottle opposite him was already dark red, with every trace of darkness dispersing. His eyes were glowing red, and the dark eyes were really... very scary and full of oppression.
"You look very much like an old friend I met."
Lidya Su spoke.
"Oh? She is yours..."
"I was killed."
Su Xiao was not just making things up out of thin air, but the girl opposite who called herself Dream Cat really looked very much like Xi from Apocalypse Paradise, the opponent he encountered when he first participated in the battle for the world.
"Ha, haha~, what a unique fate."
Mengmao decided to complete the transaction as soon as possible. Being stared at by the hunter all the time, the pressure was so terrifying that Mengmao was a little lucky that this was the notarization area of the Void Tree.
The reason why Su Xiao and Meng Mao met here was to prepare to trade the title of [God Hunter]. The appearance of this title is basically irreproducible.
Originally, it was prepared for a three-way transaction between Su Xiao, Wandering Hunter Ross, and Dream Cat. Su Xiao came up with the title, Wandering Hunter Ross came out with "Soul Energy Crystal", and Dream Cat provided Wandering Hunter Ross with what he needed. The result was that Wandering Hunter Ross
·Ross got enough "Soul Energy Crystals", but Dream Cat didn't get what Ross needed.
Mengmao compensated Rose for part of his losses, and "soul energy crystals" are only needed by law destroyers.
In this way, Rose simply went to Su Xiao to trade directly. In the end, both parties were very satisfied, which made Mengmao feel depressed. She really needed the title of [God Hunter]. After much hesitation, she contacted Su Xiao directly and got this opportunity.
meeting.
"Mr. Bai Ye, although I am called the weakest to the strongest battle angel, I think this is prejudice."
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Mengmao. Mengmao's sweet smile froze a bit. She was now convinced that the non-hostile negotiation effect of the charm attribute was of no use to this person.
"Mr. Bai Ye, I am actually Mo Lei's good friend, so we are friends of friends and friends."
After hearing this, Su Xiao stared at the girl opposite again, so as to remember this face that looked very pleasing to her eyes. When she meets her later, she can practice the mutual distribution of wealth with her.
"I always feel that it is better not to have any relationship with her. How can Mo Lei, a fake girl, be reliable? I am also a fake, and I actually believed her lies."
After Meng Mao finished speaking, she sighed and took out a translucent gem with golden color flowing inside. She said, "This is a miracle gem. With Mr. Bai Ye's experience, he must know it."
As Meng Mao spoke, he displayed the properties of the "miracle gem".
"Miracle Gem: It can be used on the eight most powerful eternal gems to complete their promotion. However, after the death of the current gem owner, the "strongest gem" that has been promoted to the limit will fall back to the "eternal level"."
Putting down the "Miracle Gem", Mengmao also glanced at the "Soul Gem" inlaid at the end of the handle of the knife on Su Xiao's waist.
"..."
Su Xiao picked up the "Miracle Gem" and after playing with it for a while, put it down.
"not enough."
Su Xiao was dissatisfied with this bid because the "Miracle Gem" could be produced through the "Peak Box" in the Honor Shop. He didn't know what the way was in Apocalypse Paradise, but this thing was not unique, and the "Hunter God"
The title is almost unique.
Mengmao looked troubled, but actually she was very confident in her heart. Her eyes flashed and she said with a bit of a smile:
"Then let me add another secret."
"..."
"Mr. Bai Ye, we have never worked together, but I believe in the leader's guarantee. I can tell you this secret first."
Meng Mao smiled with her dimples. After a while, she walked out of the tavern with the sealed title of [God Hunter]. In fact, before selling the title, Su Xiao asked Guo Xia if she needed a "God of Cooking Soul"
After all, I often ate Overlord meals there, although I did forget it.
Xia's answer was firm, absolutely not. She didn't know what the power of "Shenhun" was, but she was sure that what she wanted was to reach the peak of her skills, and she could feel that her skills had reached a certain critical point.
, take another step, and there will be a big change.
Obviously, Xia's situation is completely different from that of Mo Lei. Mo Lei is from the combat system and gradually switched to the resource system. It's not that Mo Lei doesn't work hard or has no talent. It's the situation experienced by the little angel Mo Lei. If it had been anyone else, it would have been a long time ago.
.
She has encountered the Gray Gentleman, almost a Ga'er, met a priest, and almost a Ga'er, and even temporarily 'cooperated' with the Blood God in fighting, and has been recognized by the Blood God, and even more nearly a Ga'er, plus she often encounters Su Xiao, this is actually
No, it just explodes the soul coins every time.
It can only be said that Mo Lei is simply a miracle. It is no wonder that she has been on the "Apocalypse Paradise Annual Sand Sculpture Ranking" many times.
In the tavern, Su Xiao drank all the wine in the bottle. Just as he was about to get up, he remembered that he hadn't settled the accounts yet. It was indeed a habit developed by eating in Xia Na, but then he realized that he didn't even order the wine.
Half an hour later, in Su Xiao's exclusive room, he sat cross-legged in front of the black maple tree. The Dragon Slaying Flash in its sheath was placed flat on his legs. The soul gem at the end of the handle had a strange effect under the black maple tree.
luster.
Mengmao's information can indeed make up for the price difference of this transaction, and it is what he needs now.
Before Soul-Destroying Shadow was fully awakened, his sword master, Soul-Destroying Shadow, and Soul Gem's triple soul-killing properties were invincible. However, when he reached the peak of his power, it was not that this method was not strong, but that he no longer had the same dominance as before.
.
In terms of current cooperation, the Soul-Severing Shadow's soul-slaying characteristics, coupled with the 220 soul-slaying strength brought by the Sword Master, the two work perfectly together. If the Soul-Severing Shadow is a "soul blade", then the Sword Master's 220
The soul-slaying strength is the sharpness of this "soul blade".
As a result, the "soul gem" is in an embarrassing situation. Its soul-slaying properties are completely overwhelmed by the soul-severing shadow. Let alone the "soul gem", the soul-slaying effect of the sword master is far inferior to that of the soul-severing shadow.
, the characteristic of "cutting it down and destroying it" is too powerful.
Currently, there is a "Miracle Gem" in hand, which can improve the "Soul Gem", but Su Xiao has another option, which is "Abyss Gem" plus "Element Gem".
Su Xiao did not want to use the two most powerful gems at the same time. The gem curse caused by it was no joke. This involved the secret that Mengmao mentioned, that "Abyss Gem" and "Element Gem" can be synthesized.
The synthesis method is to make a container, half of which contains elemental energy and half of which contains abyss energy, then put the "abyss gem" into the elemental energy, and put the "elemental gem" into the abyss energy.
In this way, the two gems will begin to attract each other and merge into a new gem. This gem is powerful and dangerous, and will even have a strong backlash before it recognizes its holder.
As a charm-oriented Dream Cat, she knows many secrets, and this is one of the most valuable secrets she knows.
Su Xiao took out the [Eye of Understanding]. This thing can be used three times. The old god Ubo Sara has indeed fallen, but its fall will not cause the power of the Eye Ritual to weaken. On the contrary, the Eye Ritual
The ritual is now stronger, it is one of the ancient powers.
A small amount of blood penetrated into the [Eye of Comprehension], and the orange-sized eyeball trembled. First, two slender arms like matchsticks grew out of it, and then two equally thin legs. It stared at Su Xiao in front,
The vibrating air emits dull mental fluctuations, meaning:
'desire.'
Su Xiao weighed it and said in Abyssal language:
"Abyss, gem."
Hearing Su Xiao speak the Abyssal Language, [Eye of Comprehension] was obviously startled, and then the eyeball began to proliferate flesh and blood, forming a fragmented Abyssal Language, which read:
'Abyss, hotbed, mother.'
Seeing this news, Su Xiao immediately thought that the [Abyss Gem] was in the Dark Hotbed. Only the Dark Hotbed was qualified to be called mother in the abyss.
[Abyss Gemstone] is both easy and difficult to handle in this person's hands. The easy thing is that he has an intersection with the hotbed of darkness. The difficulty is that if [Abyss Gem] has special significance in the abyss, then don't do it.
Want to exchange it.
Arriving at the room where the Lord's Train was parked, Su Xiao began to form a summoning array on the ground. After a while, the array responded, becoming dark and rising. After activation, the figure of the Abyss's legitimate daughter appeared.
"Oh~! We've reached a wonderful place."
The daughter of the Abyss looked around, her eyes fixed on the Awakening Monument.
"Your mother, has a gem?"
"Huh? How do you know? That's his favorite thing."
Hearing this, Su Xiao felt bad. It seems that this time, the only way to use the "Miracle Gem" is to upgrade the "Soul Gem". See if the Soul Gem can improve unprecedented characteristics, at least increase the soul-killing intensity to a higher level.
.
read
"This is one of my mother's favorite collectibles."
Hearing the word collectibles, Su Xiao knew that the matter was settled, and he asked: "If exchanged..."
"Impossible~, my mother's collections are all very meaningful. For my mother, the value is not important, the important thing is the meaning."
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing and walked towards the Lord's train. Seeing this, Abyss's daughter-in-law followed. The two came to the bedroom of the tail carriage and stopped in front of the display rack. On it were various collections, as follows:
Bone of the Moon: Obtained from defeating the ancient god Moon God. This is the first ancient god defeated.
Crown Fragment: Obtained from defeating the Black King.
Broken Gunblade: Iron Feather King's weapon fragment.
Rudder Wreck: Fragments of the Doom's rudder.
Withered Gem: In the world of eternal light, the ancestor set it on his forehead (with a small amount of gray-skinned rubies attached).
Beast Crown: Fenghai Continent, the broken crown of the old Beast King.
Witch's Pendant: Gift from the Moon Witch.
Dark Gold Badge: You need to achieve the golden camp and permanent hatred.
The setting sun of the old sun: When the sun star "Old Sun" sets, the sun fragments (the piece in the core of the sun) scattered down.
Embers of Transcendence: Large embers (shaped like a half-burning metal meteorite) produced when the world of gods transcended to the world of all races.
Fragments of the core of the fallen planet: the largest fragment among the surviving fragments.
Dark Statue (worthless, rare item): the image of the previous Lord of the Abyss.
…
The fragments of the crown, the broken gun blade, the remains of the ship's rudder, and the witch's pendant were taken down by Su Xiao. This meant that except for these four pieces, all the others were taken away and let the dark hotbed choose one or at most three.
Exchange for【Abyss Gem】.
Seeing these collections, the Abyss Daughter was quite moved. She could feel that there might be a magnificent story behind each collection.
Su Xiao threw out a "Primordial Core". Of course, she couldn't be stingy at this time. The daughter of the Abyss took it and said with a smile: "Leave it to me, I will give you... five hours at most. Then you can summon me again."
After saying that, the Abyss Concubine left with the collection and stood on the teleportation array again. After a brief space vibration, it disappeared here.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the carpet in the train bedroom and took out a total of thirty copies of "Initial Source" and 300 "Primordial Cores". In the past, it must have been the level 10 upgraded "Tianfeng Shadow Slash". Now it is the strongest
With 1150 points of physical strength, there is no need to do this anymore.
[Yes/No to upgrade Tianfeng's shadow-slaying ability to Lv. 130. If you need to upgrade this time, you need to consume 4.5 million ounces of space-time power, 300 original cores, and 30 copies of "Initial Origin".
】
With a large amount of time and space power in hand, Su Xiao chose to ascend. All the "primordial cores" around him were shattered, and the "primary source material" also broke through the container. Coupled with the massive power of time and space that emerged, the three of them merged with the notarization mechanism to create
A unique kind of transparent energy continuously poured into Su Xiao's body.
The darkness fell in an instant, making Su Xiao feel that she was falling. First there was a vague feeling of falling into the water, and then there was a hazy sound.
Su Xiao sat up from the water, and the sounds in her ears became clear.
"We are going to lose in the end."
A man is holding a long black knife and has a slim but tall figure. He stands here as if he cannot be shaken by anything. His gray hair is blown by the strong wind. The earth is dry and pale. Everything in sight is like this.
It's as if everything has become pale and withered under the strong eternal light.
On the entire battlefield, only the old man with the black sword is still alive. He is also the most powerful one. Located in the front, the elemental spirit king descends. It holds a weapon made of elemental power, like a sword and a long staff, and behind it is a sword floating upward slowly.
Flying like a striped cloak with transparent thin wings.
The weapon of the Elemental Spirit King was pointed at the eyebrows of the old man Black Knife. The entire star world was pale and withered under the heat of the elemental power. The eternal daylight caused all living things to become extinct. Even the surrounding abyss was suffering from the imbalance of elemental power.
, is transformed into more elemental power.
Yes, under extreme elemental power, the abyss will be assimilated and transformed into elemental power, just like a strong abyss will swallow up elemental power.
The abyss that people feared was assimilated to a distant place, where the huge abyss existed far away from this dazzling elemental power.
A golden shimmer appeared in the center of the black knife old man's pupils, and he became more powerful. His gray hair was flying, but he was not angry or powerful.
At this moment, in the sky.
A figure was sitting on a high seat in the sky, with his elbow on the armrest of the high seat and one hand on the side of his cheek. He looked down at all this. He did not interfere, because of course he was not as powerful as he is now, but
For those who trusted him and supported him, he defeated the
The Elemental Spirit King at that time, but that is meaningless. Once the elements or abyss complete large-scale erosion, it will be too late. We can only wait for the elements/abyss to calm down, rebalance, and usher in the next great era. Unless, we can
Stop the abyss/elements when they first spread.
The spread of the abyss may be okay, but after the elemental power goes wild, the transformation is too fast.
To put it more intuitively, the abyss erodes inward, first engulfing the elemental barrier, and then invades the star realm. The elements assimilate outward, assimilating the massive abyss area into an elemental area, and then scorching the star realm shrouded in it.
To pale and dry.
boom!
The old man with the black sword charged out boldly, and the black sword struck with the elemental weapon...
Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing was a little faster, and he calmed down. He was convinced that what he just saw was the end of the ancient era.
I looked at the time and saw that more than four hours had passed. I checked that my "Tianfeng Shadow Slash" ability had been improved.
Basic effect: The comprehensive strength of all technical abilities is increased by 750% (increased by 283%).
Skill effect: Extreme Blade (exclusive passive), this characteristic is the "move cornerstone" of the current skill ability. All the skills, moves and abilities you use with the long knife in your hand will be based on this ability, and its comprehensive power will be constant...
Current Extreme Blade·Cornerstone strength: 430 points.
Extreme Realm Effect 1: Sky Blade Cutting Shadows (Extreme Realm·Exclusive Passive), your sword skills and abilities will no longer be limited to the sword skills of the past. You can face different situations according to different worlds and different environments.
enemies, perform swordsmanship moves that are highly suitable for the current battle and environment, and even temporarily call upon the power of the current environment to further enhance the power of your swordsmanship moves.
Extreme Effect 2: Selfless Realm (Extreme Realm·Exclusive Passive), entering the "selfless realm", temporarily forgetting all the swordsmanship moves in the past, and only retaining the current swordsmanship move, improving it
to the extreme.
The current selfless realm enhancement limit: 21.6 times the power of moves.
Tip: This characteristic should have been upgraded from "7.7 times the power of moves" to "12.7 times the power of moves", but because your Sky Blade Shadow Slash has an additional increase once and twice when it reaches Lv.100 and Lv.120.
After the additional enhancements are superimposed, "Selfless Realm" has been increased from 12.7 times the move power to the current "21.6 times the move power".
…
Su Xiao was a little worried before. "Tianfeng Zhanying" has developed an overly bloated system. It would not be a good thing if it had two additional characteristics. As for the improvement of "Selfless Realm", it successfully destroyed the fallen star.
There is no need to doubt the gold content of his ultimate sword skill.
After exiting the Lord's Train, Su Xiao activated the summoning array he had just deployed and responded after a moment.
Boom~
The space shook. After the daughter of the Abyss appeared, she staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground. She looked up at Su Xiao and began to feel resentful.
"Can't you use other space arrays?"
"Won't."
Such a simple understanding left the Abyss's daughter speechless. It took out various collections that it had taken away, and finally took out a lychee-sized, pitch-black gem. Unexpectedly, in exchange for this [Abyss.
Gem], is actually:
"Dark Statue (worthless, rare item): the image of the previous Lord of the Abyss."
"The commission is completed and I'm leaving."
The Abyss's legitimate daughter left, and Su Xiao asked Baha to put several collections back into place, and he took out the [Eye of Comprehension] again.
After a while, he put away the [Eye of Comprehension] which could be used once. The answer given by [Eye of Comprehension] turned out to be a symbol, which was:
ψ
This is the symbol representing the Void Tree. Before using [Eye of Comprehension], Su Xiao tried [Void Tree Vault Application Permission III (30% off)], "Abyss Gem" and "Element Gem".
None of them are in the Void Tree Vault.
Su Xiao thought for a while and tried to apply to the Void Tree to purchase "Elemental Gems". The answer she got was:
[The reputation of your Void Tree is too low, and this item cannot be obtained through trading.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao knew what was going on. He took out his communicator and contacted Mo Lei. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Mo Lei connected. The voice sounded like he had just woken up.
"Do me a favor."
"Okay~"
Mo Lei looked like she was about to fall asleep again at any time.
"You try and apply to the Void Tree to exchange the soul gems for the elemental gems."
After listening to Su Xiao's words, Mo Lei felt no longer sleepy and sat up because she was afraid that the law destroyer would perform some strange operation again.
After using her reputation as a spell-killer as a guarantee and guaranteeing it in her own name, Mo Lei became more convinced. Before leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao paid 150,000 soul coins to peel off the "soul gem" from the Dragon-Slaying Flash without any damage.
Arriving at the gathering place first, and then the fully open area certified by the Void Tree, Su Xiao saw Mo Lei at a cold drink shop.
With Mo Lei's Void Tree's credibility, of course the application was successful. She bit the straw and said with a little dodge in her eyes:
"It requires a replacement fee of 50,100 ounces of time and space power."
"..."
Su Xiao made a direct transaction to obtain 51,000 ounces of time and space power, which stunned Mo Lei. She hesitated to speak, and finally said in a weary tone: "I'm sorry, I want to steal 100 ounces of my hard work."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, but Mo Lei suddenly felt that silence was louder than sound at this moment. The hunter seemed to be saying, it's okay. I will get it back next time I meet you. The power of time and space is only with you temporarily, so don't feel guilty.
The more Mo Lei thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she was so angry that she replaced the "Elemental Gem" and gave it to Su Xiao.
Five hours later, in Su Xiao's exclusive room, the alchemy laboratory, a container containing both abyssal and elemental energy was completed. Half of the abyssal power and half of the elemental power were distinct, but they had the ability to "assimilate/engulf" each other.
Feel.
Su Xiao put the "Abyss Gem" into the elemental power, and the "Elemental Gem" into the abyss energy. The next moment, a huge energy came towards them. The two gems were attracted together with a click, and the fusion began.
