Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 567: Heart of the Extreme Blade [6.3k words]

Flash...

In the exclusive room, Xin Lailai looked at the two completely different lights in front of her and felt her heart in her throat.

Unlike normal treasure chests, he had heard too many negative rumors about the abyss treasure chest.

For example, after finally dodging, a cursed item appeared that you couldn't get rid of even if you sold it, or you were inexplicably entangled with a grudge that could attract the hatred of alien beings...

Although the Abyss Treasure Chest is indeed tempting in terms of returns, the risks associated with it are too exciting. This is another reason why he has been reluctant to open the Abyss Treasure Chest before.

Clang——!!

The deep light like the starry sky and the eye-catching blood light flashed for several seconds, and then all the items in it fell on the table under Xin Lailai's intentional setting. Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi looked at the items on the table one by one, and carefully looked at the item information:

"Lai Lai... everything seems to be alright?"

Inside the room, Ling Yuzi carefully looked at the three items on the table and asked Xin Lailai.

"It looks like... it seems so."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai nodded cautiously, looked at the two abyss-level items, took a deep breath, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Done! !
There was no strange curse nor any strange creature that could produce causal entanglement. The only dangerous thing was the [Twisted Dark Light Crystal]. The other two, [Heart of the Extreme Blade] and [Will to Kill], were both top-notch items!
"No wonder people say that opening an Abyss Treasure Chest is addictive. The benefits here are totally incomparable to those from an ordinary treasure chest..."

Xin Lailai looked at the items on the table, stretched out her hand, took the heart woven with black silk threads and a crystal that looked like a small starry sky, and muttered.

The value of [Heart of the Ultimate Blade] is self-evident. The triple improvement of space qualification level + space perception ability + space shuttle adaptability can be said to be a perfect interpretation of the meaning of the word "treasure".

There is also [Killing Will]. Although he himself cannot use this thing, the 500+++ score and the extremely rare negative charm feature are destined to make someone on his friend list spend money on it.

As for the [Twisted Dark Light Crystal]? Xin Lailai couldn't judge the specific effect of this thing, but just looking at the recycling price of 100 soul coins, she could understand that this was definitely not a simple thing.

After looking at it for a while, Xin Lailai put away the three items and other things on the table, then took out the [Soul Crystal Secret Box (Large)] and the [Gem Secret Box·Blood of the Barbarian God], continued to look at Ling Yuzi, nodded at him, and handed over the two secret boxes.

Now they are in the peak state of various fortune bonuses, so it's a good opportunity to activate these two things.

[Hint: The "Soul Crystal Secret Box (Large)" has been opened, and Soul Crystal (Large)*3 has been obtained]

[Hint: The "Secret Jewel Box: Blood of the Barbarian God" has been opened, and the following items have been obtained]

……

Blood gem (legendary gem) *1
Bone Gem (Legendary Gem)*1
Savage Soul Gem (Legendary Gem)*1
……

A dazzling light flashed, and the next second, three gems and three soul crystals fell steadily into Xin Lailai's hands:

……

Very good, now the vacant gem slot on his equipment has been filled!

Xin Lailai glanced at the effect of the three-piece set of Blood of the Barbarian God, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Thanks to the Abyss Erosion Zone, except for the golden gem and the winged gem that he had promised to repair there, all the other gems on his body were broken. He is now in urgent need of a set of gems strong enough to fill the gaps.

"Come to think of it, I wonder if the restoration of the gemstones on Boss Cheng's side has been completed yet..."

Xin Lailai glanced at her empty equipment bar. Because the golden gem and the winged gem were already bound to the equipment, if she wanted to repair it, she could only leave the oath set and the eternal oath there.

"Well, let's finish dealing with the matter of Youlin Kongyu and Jiren Zhixin first, and then ask."

Xin Lailai took out [Dark Scale Sky Feather] and [Starry Sky Teardrop] and placed them on the table together.

He had already consulted Scrappy regarding the improvement of Youlin Kongyu, and since the other party, a forging master, had given a positive result, there was naturally nothing to hesitate about.

[Hint: Yes/No to use "Starry Sky Teardrop" on "Ghost Scale Sky Feather (Epic Armor)"? ]

"confirm."

[Confirmed, "Starry Sky Teardrop" has been used, "Phantom Scale Sky Feather" is being upgraded, estimated completion time: 15 minutes]

The time required for the upgrade was very short. When Xin Lailai saw this, there was not much surprise in his eyes.

The purpose of upgrading "You Lin Kong Yu" this time was not to achieve a qualitative change, but to make up for its potential lost during advancement. Even if he guessed correctly, the equipment effect and basic values ​​of You Lin Kong Yu would not change much after the upgrade. It was just that the upper limit of the score would be increased to 700 points.

Next up is this…

After putting away the Youlin Kongyu again, Xin Lailai took the [Heart of the Extreme Blade] in his hand again. A hot look flashed in his eyes. Finally, he looked at Ling Yuzi beside him and nodded with him, with a decisive look in his eyes.

[Hint: Has entered the "Elf Assimilation" state]

[Warning: It is detected that the pioneer is trying to use the Abyss Enhancement "Heart of the Extreme Blade". The use of this item will be accompanied by great risks. Are you sure to use it? ]

"confirm."

A light red warning sound rang out in Xin Lailai's mind. Xin Lailai made a decision after just a quick glance.

It is indeed very dangerous to face the "Extreme Blade Will" directly, which can be seen from the prerequisites for using [Extreme Blade Heart].

But they have defeated even the original body of Jiren Yuanying, and now they have successfully broken through the five-door master LV.20 and the real barrier of 80 points. If they still have the intention to retreat in this situation, then there is no need for them to continue to be pioneers or pursue the strongest. It would be better for them to just find a way to retreat to become workers and go to a stable world to farm.

[Confirmation completed, the process will continue...]

Wow——! !

The next second, the heart made of black silk threads in his hand suddenly broke apart, revealing the silver-white light ball hidden inside. Then, one by one, the black silk threads pierced into his skin, and like a transmission tube, they input the silver-white light ball into their bodies little by little, carrying an extremely violent soul wave, exploding in their minds.

"""kill!!!"""

As the violent sound exploded, Xin Lailai seemed to see a cold blade coming straight towards him from top to bottom, and everything retreated wherever it passed.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai showed no fear at all. Instead, he mobilized his soul energy, transformed it into sword energy, and went straight to confront the sword. Clang——!!

In an instant, the clanging sound of swords clashing rang out in the room, and blood mist exploded from Xin Lailai's body. The clothes on his body were instantly cut into tens of thousands of small pieces, and dense scars appeared on his body surface.

But the next second, a ray of silver-white light was seen flowing through his wound, and then the wound on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One minute... two minutes... three minutes...

Time passed bit by bit. Half an hour later, Xin Lailai opened his eyes again. A silver-white light flowed in his dark pupils. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, put his five fingers together to make a hand knife, and slashed from top to bottom at an extremely slow speed.

In an instant, the air in front of him seemed to freeze, and a tiny black line that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye appeared. A cut as thick as a hair suddenly appeared on the dining table right in front of him.

Om-! !

The next second, a faint spatial fluctuation emerged, quickly smoothing out the thin spatial crack that was imperceptible to the naked eye. Then Xin Lailai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the silver-white color in his eyes quickly dissipated.

[Hint: "Heart of the Blade" has been used]

[Tip: Space Qualification Level +5]

[Hint: Spatial perception strength +30, spatial shuttle adaptability +30]

A cold prompt sounded, Xin Lailai stood up, simply washed his body with water magic, changed into a new set of clothes, and then looked at the prompt in front of him.

To be honest, the process of using the Heart of the Ultimate Blade was more thrilling than he had imagined. If it were him when he had just returned, he might have failed miserably. However, in terms of benefits, the Heart of the Ultimate Blade was definitely worth the risk.

"Paradise, check my space qualification level."

[Tip: Confirming permissions...]

[Confirmed, testing started...]

[Test completed, current pioneer space qualification level is: B-level (space potential level: -1 level, space system ability level cap: Grandmaster LV.50)]

B-level space qualification...

You have to know that before using the Heart of the Extreme Blade, their spatial qualification level was only D-level, which is equivalent to the level that cannot even break through the Grandmaster LV.20. Compared with now, it is like heaven and earth.

"Sure enough, if we want to seek opportunities and breakthroughs these days, we can only find them in the Abyss Erosion Zone..."

Xin Lailai closed his eyes and sensed the spatial vision which was much clearer than before, and sighed in his mind.

He now understood why so many people would plunge into the abyss for the sake of power.

Although most of the Abyss-type enhancements are accompanied by huge risks in use, the benefits are too tempting.

Just like now, just an Extreme Blade Heart has directly brought about a drastic change in his spatial aptitude. The strength of his spatial perception and his adaptability to spatial travel have also been improved by leaps and bounds. He even has the illusion that if he is given enough time, he might be able to create a space spell or technique directly with his own abilities.

And this is just the effect of an Abyss buff with a score of 600. If it were replaced with an Abyss buff with a score of 800 or even 1,000, it would probably be able to directly raise his spatial qualifications to A-level or above.

"You have to resist the erosion of the abyss while fighting against your own desires..."

Xin Lailai opened her eyes and looked at the information on the branding interface. Her gaze slightly condensed, and a hint of determination flashed across her dark pupils, strangling the impulses that were born in her brain in the cradle.

The Abyss-type enhancements are indeed very tempting, but because of this, they need to be used and treated with caution, and the desires in the heart must be curbed and not allowed to grow endlessly. Otherwise, once a dependence or desire for the Abyss enhancements is developed, falling into the abyss is only a matter of time.

[Tip: You have a new email to receive, sender: promise]

Suddenly, an email alert sounded. Xin Lailai's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he chose to receive it directly.

[Tip: All mails have been received and the following items have been obtained]

……

Oath Set (Legendary Set) *1
Eternal Oath (Legendary Ring)*1
Soul Gem (Legendary Gem)*1
……

"Ok?"

Rows of information about items passed by Xin Lailai's eyes, and when Xin Lailai saw the last one, "Spiritual Gem", he was slightly startled.

[Ding~! You have a new message reminder, sender: promise]

……

Promise: "That spiritual gem is a gift from my teacher to you. He asked you to cherish the two winged gems and bring Xiao Pu and the others to see him more often."

……

The promised gift for the teacher?!
When Xin Lailai saw the message sent by Chengnuo, his expression lit up with joy, and he instantly realized that his "strategy" had worked.

"Very good, now we have one more big boss to get to know!"

Xin Lailai glanced at the "Spiritual Mind Gem" that was sent as a gift and smiled.

……

【Spiritual Gem】

Place of Origin: Sanctuary Paradise

Quality: Legend

Category: Gem

Durability: 100/100
Inlay effect: When inlaid, the user's mental strength will be increased by 20 points, mental toughness will be increased by 20 points, mental resistance will be increased by 20 points, and mental recovery speed during meditation will be increased by 40%.

Rating: 500+
Introduction: This is a casual work by a certain master, which allows the master to recall the time when he was a master.

Price: 750000 park points
……

This gem is a legendary gem that is specially used to enhance mental strength, and it is more powerful than the "Nightmare Gem" that was shattered before. It is of great help to them as wizards and alchemists.

The most important thing is that judging from the description of the item, this thing was most likely made specifically for them by the gem master after he saw them. This is the most crucial point.

——After all, when it comes to making gems, once you do it once, there will often be a second and third time.

[Hint: The "Elf Assimilation" status has been lifted]

[Reminder: You are about to be teleported to the equipment enhancement hall. Please prepare for the teleportation.]

The transmission prompt sounded, and Xin Lailai ended the assimilation state. After exchanging glances with Ling Yuzi, he nodded slightly and disappeared directly into the room.

The Oath Set has been sent back, new gems have been acquired, and he still has plenty of Paradise Points on hand. Under such circumstances, he must upgrade his equipment no matter what.

Especially since his current equipment system has entered the legendary level, and legendary equipment can be enhanced to +13 to obtain a permanent benefit. In this case, as long as conditions permit, it is still necessary to upgrade all the equipment to +13.

……

……

Equipment reinforcement hall.

[Welcome to use the equipment enhancement machine No. 03965. The shielding mode has been turned on. Please select the service you need.]

[Tip: "Medal of Glory (Level 5)" has been activated, strengthening success rate +%]

[Hint: Do you want to pay Paradise Points*1000000 to enhance the "Pledge Set +5 (3/3)"? ]

It’s really expensive…

Inside the white barrier, Xin Lailai looked at the 100 million yuan per enhancement fee on the screen, her eyelids twitched slightly. She did not start the enhancement immediately, but opened the title interface first and changed the title to "Unboxing Maniac".

[Tip: The current equipment title has been changed to "Lucky Gift"]

……

【Lucky Gift】

Quality: ★★★★

Category: title

Acquisition conditions: Trigger "high output" events more than 1000 times within a world progress (killing drops, treasure chest opening, task triggering... and other events all have a very low probability of "high output").

Wearing requirements: Charm attribute no less than 80 points, luck attribute no less than 20 points

Title Effect 1, Good Luck Attracted (Passive): When worn, luck attribute +8
Title Effect 2, Doom Avoidance (Passive): When worn, when performing notarized probability events (equipment enhancement, reward extraction, etc.), the "Maximum Doom" option will be avoided to a certain extent.

Introduction: Bad luck? There is no such thing, we only have good luck!

……

You can get 8 points of luck bonus instantly. This is the power of the title system, or the real power of the charm attribute.

Compared with several other attributes, the charm attribute in the early stage always gives people a feeling that it is completely inferior to the basic physical attributes such as strength, agility, physique, and intelligence. It even gives people the illusion that negative charm is more useful than positive charm.

But in fact, that is only because the focus of the charm attribute is not in the early stage.

At the first and second levels, due to the limitation of the rank, even if the charm attribute is extremely high, the star rating of the title that can be obtained is usually around 1~3 stars. At this stage, the charm attribute can only be used in negotiations and some charm judgment skills.

But starting from the third level, as the level increases, contractors with high charm attributes can obtain a large number of high-star titles in each world. At this time, the advantages of high charm attributes gradually emerge.

You should know that the title system has always been a very special system in Paradise. It not only has few restrictions on use, but also has extremely high strength. Those top titles on the same star have the powerful power of one title being equivalent to a set of the same-level suit.

——The most important thing is that the title can be taken and changed at any time.

Therefore, if you have a high charm attribute, you can prepare a large number of titles for different occasions, and then choose the appropriate title according to your needs. This is equivalent to having one more equipment slot that you can freely use than other contractors, and it has built-in adaptability.

Just like now, when he opens a box, he can directly change to "Box Opening Maniac" to increase the benefits of opening a box, and when strengthening the equipment, he can change to "Lucky Gift" to increase the success rate and reduce the probability of equipment damage. When he encounters a situation that requires fighting, he can change to a title specializing in combat, and even that combat title can be carefully selected according to the type of enemy, such as choosing "Undead Slayer" when facing undead, and choosing "Overlord Slaughterer" when facing overlord-level units. This is the advantage of making full use of the title system.

[Tip: The "Equipment Protection Stone" has been placed. If the current enhancement fails and triggers the "Equipment Broken" penalty, this item will be consumed to protect the equipment from breaking.]

He started with two equipment protection stones that he had not been able to use since returning from the Overload world, and placed them steadily in the item inlay opening on the tray, adding the final layer of protection for this enhancement.

Then, Xin Lailai took a deep breath, looked at the enhancer in front of him, and pressed the confirmation button.

[Confirmed, Paradise Points*1000000 paid, enhancement started...]

The next second, a mechanical electronic sound rang out, and the entire enhancement machine began to vibrate continuously.
