Chapter 1695 Slaying Spirits!
"I'm not reconciled..." The man in black robes uttered a few indistinct syllables, pointed at Ye Chuyun, as if he wanted to say something, but his arm eventually fell limply to his side.
boom!
His body could no longer be maintained and completely disintegrated, turning into ashes scattered throughout the sky.
Amidst the ashes, the Shadow Origin and a faint remnant soul attempted to escape, but Ye Chuyun, prepared in advance, used the remaining power of the Eternal Silence Spear to completely shatter them.
A powerful being at the Spirit level has fallen!
[Successfully eliminated a Spirit-level unit!]
[Gained 5000000 points!]
[Gained +5000 Abyss Exploration Score!]
[Gain special title: Soul Slayer (Beginner): When facing enemies of Spirit rank or higher, all attributes are increased by 5%, and the effect of Spirit rank pressure on you is reduced by 15%.]
[Warning: You have attracted the attention of a higher level of being in the Abyss.]
[Completing the 'Rebellious Spirit Level' achievement for the first time grants the special reward Abyss Sanctuary (one-time use) and a random skill scroll.]
A series of prompts flashed through Ye Chuyun's mind, but he was too weak to examine them carefully at the moment.
After unleashing the sealing scroll to deliver the final blow, his already depleted magical power was completely exhausted, and waves of weakness emanated from within his soul.
"Pfft!" Ye Chuyun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her vision went black, her ears rang, her body swayed a few times, and she could no longer hold on, falling straight backward.
Just before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, he quickly summoned his clone who was exploring outside.
The clone will take him to a safe place to recuperate.
Before that, he vaguely saw the place where the Shadow Spirit Lord disappeared. In addition to the huge ball of light surging into his body, there were also several items that shimmered with different luster, floating in mid-air.
"We must leave here..."
This was Ye Chuyun's last thought before she lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, a sharp pain woke Ye Chuyun from the darkness.
Ye Chuyun suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a rocky dome, with the damp smell of earth filling the air.
He was lying in a narrow natural stone cave, with a pile of dry grass beneath him.
The entrance to the stone cave was cleverly blocked by several huge boulders, leaving only a few gaps for ventilation. There seemed to be a simple concealment formation set up in the gaps.
"It seems my clone successfully arrived and brought me here." Ye Chuyun turned her neck with difficulty to check her condition.
The situation is absolutely terrible.
His meridians were severed, he suffered multiple injuries, and his magical power was almost completely depleted.
Fine cracks covered the very essence of my soul, and I felt waves of throbbing pain.
His body was riddled with holes and internal bleeding was everywhere.
The most troublesome thing is that the backlash from forcibly activating the [Elemental Overlord] to fuse the nine laws is still eroding him.
If his physical body had not been strengthened many times, and his foundation had not been far more solid than that of ordinary people, he would probably have died long ago.
As expected, fighting against opponents of a higher level is not an easy task.
"Cough cough..." Ye Chuyun tried to sit up, but the movement aggravated her injuries, causing her to cough up several mouthfuls of stagnant blood.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and first took out several bottles of the highest quality healing pills from his storage space, swallowing them all at once.
The medicine took effect, temporarily stabilizing the rapidly deteriorating injuries and bringing a little warmth.
Then, with great difficulty, he mustered a faint wisp of divine sense and scanned the corner of the stone cave.
Several items lay quietly there, the very things left behind by the Shadow Spirit Lord after his death.
Before he lost consciousness, one of his clones managed to drag all of these things, along with him, away from the battlefield at the last moment and found this hidden stone cave to hide in.
"Thank goodness nothing was lost." Ye Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
If you fight to the death and lose the spoils, that would be a truly devastating loss.
He endured the excruciating pain, slowly moved his body, leaned against the cold rock wall, and began to carefully take stock of his spoils.
First, there are points and ratings.
Killing the Shadow Spirit Lord directly earned five million points and five thousand ratings.
Adding to his previous gains, his total score has now surpassed eight million, and his Abyss Exploration score has reached eight thousand points.
This number would probably rank among the top in the second layer of the abyss.
"Soul Slayer Title"
Ye Chuyun felt the slight boost from the new title. Although he couldn't feel it much in his current severely injured state, it was undoubtedly a powerful permanent buff, representing that he had accomplished an almost impossible feat of reversal.
The first-time achievement rewards, Abyss Sanctuary and Random Skill Scroll, are clearly valuable, as their names suggest, especially the latter, which could potentially grant him a skill.
I just don't know what level this skill is.
However, now is not the time to study these things; the most urgent task is to recover from the injury.
Ye Chuyun's gaze finally fell on the few items left behind by the Shadow Spirit Lord.
The first one is a crystal the size of a pigeon egg.
It exudes an extremely pure aura of shadow law, even surpassing the level of materials Ye Chuyun had previously obtained.
【Shadow Core】: A fragment of the Shadow Spirit Lord's core power, containing part of the origin of the Shadow Laws and Spirit-level energy.
It can be used to cultivate shadow-based techniques and supernatural powers, forge equipment, or as a special energy source, making it extremely valuable.
A look of joy flashed in Ye Chuyun's eyes.
This item may not be of the greatest use to him personally, but its value is immeasurable, whether he uses it to exchange for points or as a bargaining chip in the future.
The second item was a black book with no text on the cover and a cold touch.
【Fragment of the Secret Record of Shadow Escape from the Nine Netherworlds】: This is a secret manual that records some of the core inheritance of the Shadow Spirit Lord, including advanced shadow escape techniques, stealth secrets, and shadow assassination techniques.
One must master the laws of shadow to cultivate it; it is severely incomplete, with only the first three levels remaining.
"Pity."
Ye Chuyun felt a little regretful. He himself did not cultivate the Way of Shadow, but this thing was still of great value and could be used as a trade item.
The third item was a black cloth bag about the size of a palm.
The bag looked ordinary, but when Ye Chuyun probed it with his divine sense, he felt a powerful spatial fluctuation and a force of obstruction.
This was actually a high-quality storage bag, and it still bore the soul imprint of the Shadow Spirit Lord. Although it had been weakened considerably with the death of its owner, it still required considerable effort to decipher.
Ye Chuyun mobilized the last bit of soul power she had just recovered and began to carefully erase the remaining marks on the storage bag.
This process took him a full hour, during which he vomited blood several times, but eventually the mark broke and the bag could be opened smoothly.
The divine sense successfully probed into it.
"Fuck!"
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Even with Ye Chuyun's strong will, she couldn't help but gasp when she saw the contents of the storage bag, which aggravated her injuries and caused her to grimace again.
