Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 352 Open the Book of the Abyss again——

Until his consciousness recovered from the chaos, until Luo Xiu opened his eyes again.

In that magnificent and ancient palace, Amber, the "false guardian", was still guarding him.

"...Huh."

Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the golden throne, and stretched his muscles.

He felt that the surging, almost primitive instinctive power was filling his limbs and bones, and the deep spirituality of the [Abyss] was like a river, almost rushing into and shaping his blood.

This power made him fascinated, and he had a strong desire to destroy or devour something in his heart.

This is the fourth destiny of the [Abyss]...

Luo Xiu thought to himself.

He clearly felt that there were some foreign things mixed in his spirituality.

And at this point when he was just promoted - when the power of the fourth destiny of the [Abyss] had not yet completely stabilized, Luo Xiu's ears were still constantly hearing bewitching and persuading whispers.

But these whispers from the [Abyss], like the [Abyss] spirit that tried to dominate itself, were all wrapped and isolated by a more majestic and essential divine spirit.

That was the spirit of [Glory] - just like a veil, more like a permeable membrane of some kind of "spiritual" essence.

Eliminating those evil influences and only drawing out their most original spirit for use - this is the protection mechanism that Luo Xiu established for himself with [Glory].

This is not only to prevent the power of [Abyss] from causing oneself to lose control and fall, but also to prevent good or bad investigations from the outside world - the extraordinary people below the sixth level of destiny cannot discover the impure impurities in Luo Xiu's spirit through "perception", and the principle is the same.

And now...

Soothing and guiding the deep spirit in his body to return to stability, Luo Xiu opened the panel, and his eyes fell on the column of [Abyss] destiny.

During the promotion, Luo Xiu obtained a new [Abyss] profession - "Demon Mentor", and at the same time, he also obtained three [Abyss] destiny skills "Bath in the Styx", "Evil Eclipse Bloodline", "Demon Summoning", and one [Abyss] destiny skill "Demon Fusion".

Because the "Seventh Abyss" has not yet been truly opened, "Bath in the Styx" cannot be used for the time being.

But "Demon Summoning" and "Evil Eclipse Bloodline" can take effect immediately - the former will be used to summon and contract a real "demon", while the latter will prevent the "demon" from attacking him after being summoned, and make Him truly obedient to him.

This is the necessary order, and it is also the reason why Luo Xiu decided to wait until he was promoted to the fourth destiny of [Abyss] before summoning the demon - in Luo Xiu's promotion plan for his own destiny in [Abyss], obtaining the skill of "Evil Eclipse Bloodline" is indeed quite critical.

In his memory of his previous life

After the power of the Abyss truly emerged, some extraordinary beings who were not destined for the Abyss obtained the ritual knowledge of summoning "demons" through certain means and tried to summon them.

As for the results, most of them were quite tragic -

Those pagans who were not believers in the Abyss did summon demons.

But those demons who were only lower or middle level attacked them when the summoners' spirituality was just exhausted and they were still quite weak at the beginning of being summoned, killing their summoners with quite cruel means, devouring their souls, and taking over their bodies.

For a time, the number of extraordinary beings whose bodies were taken over by the demons of the Abyss increased at a terrifying rate, and even led to a massive [World Mission] - [Fake Demon Hunting Campaign]!

That was a mission issued by the "Ring of Apocalypse" to all the descenders.

The mission content was to hunt down all the demons who sneaked into the ordinary world through the "summoning ritual" and usurped the bodies of their summoners.

And this is indeed a task that can only be completed by players - because at that time, in the entire Fanol continent, except for the saints who were at least "fifth-level destiny" or above, who could distinguish the subtle differences between the spirits of these disguised demons and the real extraordinary people through "perception", only the players with "panels" had the means to directly detect "disguised demons".

In his previous life, Luo Xiu also participated in this massive hunting activity - he still clearly remembered the horrible scenes he saw in the process of "game" at that time, and now, these scenes may become real.

"..."

Recalling these in his heart, Luo Xiu shook his head, patted his cheeks, and emptied his thoughts.

Even if these may happen in the future... but at least not now. Now, in addition to reminiscing, I have more important things to do.

Luo Xiu's eyes immediately fell on the table in front of him.

The ancient book with a dark color and a deep and ominous smell, "The Abyss Sacred Book", was quietly placed on the table.

The time has come.

Successfully promoted to the fourth level of the Abyss, and it was the opportunity to read the Abyss Sacred Scripture again.

Luo Xiu slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingers had already touched the black seal of the Scripture.

The deep mist lingering and flowing on it immediately wrapped around him like a mist, and he could even feel a faint suction on his fingertips.

This was not the case when he opened the Abyss Sacred Scripture several times before... After promoting the Abyss to the fourth level of the destiny, perhaps even the resonance with the Abyss Book has deepened slightly.

Even the strange whispers that had just quieted down in his ears sounded again the moment he touched the Abyss Book... Turning the spirituality of [Glorious] to cut off these influences, Luo Xiu stroked the cover with his fingers and immediately opened it.

Skipping the detailed but useless [Abyss] skills before the triple destiny, Luo Xiu quickly turned to the end of the record of the [Abyss] triple destiny skills, and opened a new page——

——Buzz!

In Luo Xiu's ears, the strange whispers exploded immediately, accompanied by a kind of drum-like throbbing, making his spirit passively stand on the tip of trembling.

And in front of him——the brand new page that had just been opened was also covered and wrapped by the deep spirituality as black as ink, and the real content could not be seen.

Something flooded into his mind like a brainworm, and new content popped up on Luo Xiu's panel at the same time——

[……]

[You looked directly at the taboo]

[Triggering the "divine" exemption judgment]

[The minimum divinity requirement is "242", your divinity is "1168"...]

[Triggering the "resistance" exemption judgment]

[The minimum resistance requirement is "143", your resistance is "687"...]

[Exemption is successful, immune to this mental pollution]

[……]

The panel light and shadow floated, and at the moment when "exemption is successful" appeared.

The drum-beating restlessness gradually subsided, and the infection of the taboo soon became untraceable.

Looking through the "Abyss Sacred Scripture" that records the fourfold destiny and the subsequent skills and skills knowledge, the attributes that need to be invested in the judgment are no longer just "divine", but two or three attributes or more.

But no matter what, the attribute judgment requirements of the "fourfold destiny" level are easy for Luo Xiu now.

He stared at the holy book in front of him, and the content shrouded by the deep spirituality gradually revealed itself like clouds and mist.

[Soul of the Extremely Evil (Abyss, lv.1): The extremely evil will enter the Hall of Sin. ]

[When you challenge a hostile target that is 5 levels higher than you and successfully kill the hostile target, you will get an additional 50% basic experience correction... At the same time, you will get 10 points of attribute value correction from "Hostile Target-Highest Attribute" (attribute correction limit 0/200). ]

This is the first of many skills in the four-fold destiny of [Abyss], and it is also a higher-level skill of Luo Xiu's existing skill "Evil Soul".

It's just that the upper limit of the attribute correction that can be obtained has increased a lot, and the condition has changed from the original "defeat" to "kill"!

Without hesitation, Luo Xiu paid experience and learned the [Abyss] skill [Soul of the Extremely Evil].

The profound knowledge from the [Abyss] turned into a non-material source and flowed into his mind, and soon an item was added to the [Skills] column on his panel.

For Luo Xiu, with his current level of Fifth Fate lv.50, it was a bit difficult to find an enemy with a level higher than level 5 to kill... But this was not the focus of Luo Xiu's attention.

What he valued more was the newly obtained 50% additional basic experience correction for the kill reward, plus the first two lower-level skills of [Extreme Evil Soul] [Evil Soul] and [Scorching Soul], he could get an additional kill reward of up to 100%!

…

After successfully learning [Extreme Evil Soul], Luo Xiu continued to turn the pages of the "Abyss Holy Book".

Still covered and blocked by the deep and dark spirituality, his panel also showed new pollution tests again and again.

"Divinity" and "Power" judgment, "Divinity" and "Perception" judgment, and even "Divinity", "Wisdom" and "Resistance" three attributes are judged together... Luo Xiu passed these tests very smoothly, and finally selected three [Abyss] skills to learn.

[……]

[Abyss Skills: Extreme Evil Domain (lv.1, to be learned)]

[Extreme Evil Domain (Abyss, lv.1): The depth is pervasive here, and it will be named "Extreme Evil". ]

[You have gone deep into the origin of "depth". You are the embodiment of "evil", you have reached the extreme of "evil erosion", and can try to create "domain" skills further. ]

This is a higher-level skill of the existing skill [Darkest Domain], carrying more profound [Abyss] domain knowledge.

[……]

[Abyss Skill: Extreme Evil Erosion (lv.1, to be learned)]

[Extreme Evil Erosion ((Abyss, lv.1): The eclipse radiates here and will be named "Extreme Evil".]

[Master this skill. When you cause damage to the target, the spirit of "Erosion" will erode everything. You can choose: you will ignore the target's "defense reduction" and "shield" to a certain extent, and cause "Erosion" attribute damage or origin trauma to the target again according to a certain proportion of the damage caused; or after accumulating a certain number of damage times or damage amounts, give the target a random, difficult to purify or remove negative effects.]

This is an auxiliary skill , can fight together to achieve better results.

[……]

[Abyss Skills: Soul Devouring Eyes (lv.1, to be learned)]

[Soul Devouring Eyes (Abyss, lv.1): You have mastered the soul, controlled the soul, dominated the soul, and finally... devoured the soul. ]

[You have the ability of "soul devouring", which can draw spirituality and even gain power from the "soul" that has been completely controlled and dominated - if you devour the soul through [Soul Devouring Eyes], you will gain basic experience equivalent to 50% of the kill reward, and there is a small probability of obtaining the skills and techniques mastered by the devoured target, and reshape them into the skills and techniques of [Abyss]. ]

This is a functional skill, and it is also another advanced branch skill of [Soul Manipulator], which allows Luo Xiu to expand his use of "soul".

【……】

…

[Ultimately Evil Soul], [Ultimately Evil Domain], [Ultimately Evil Corrosion] and [Soul-Eating Eyes], these are the four [Abyss] skills that Luo Xiu chose to learn when he read the Abyss Book this time.

In addition to their own effects, for Luo Xiu - another important use of them is to invest in "skill creation". The [Abyss] domain skills and even the control skills are exactly what Luo Xiu lacks at this time, and he can try to make up for them through these newly acquired [Abyss] skills.

Later, at the level of the fourth life path of [Abyss], Luo Xiu no longer had any other technical knowledge that he urgently needed to learn in the "Sacred Code of Abyss".

He then re-closed the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" and put it into his storage bracelet. Then, he stood up from the golden throne and walked out of the hall.

…

The moment you walk out of the hall, your field of vision becomes wider.

Luo Xiu saw hundreds of "Holy Abyss" apostles and thousands of their followers rushing back and forth, building various new buildings in full swing.

The "Holy Abyss" apostles he left behind in the royal court are now faithfully carrying out the tasks entrusted by the "Lord" - the public beta time is approaching. Luo Xiu has already assigned the task of repairing and constructing the Forgotten Royal Court in all aspects to accommodate the large number of "Adventors" who are coming.

Compared with the previous "internal beta", the number of players that the Forsaken Royal Court can now accommodate has tripled.

But this is still not enough - in Luo Xiu's plan, it will have to accommodate at least ten times more players than during the closed beta.

However, according to the construction period, the "open beta" will officially start in half a month, and the construction of the Forgotten Royal Court should be smoothly implemented... At least judging from the momentum of the apostles' work, Luo Xiu is not worried about the final results of the construction.

…

Choosing to avoid the sight of the "apostles" as much as possible, Luo Xiu has gone to another altar located in the Forsaken Royal Court.

It did not belong to [Glory] like the previous "Altar of a Moment", nor did it even belong to any destiny. It was just a base made of obsidian, and a huge cage carved with obsidian on top.

There was nothing "imprisoned" in the huge cage - and this strange building was specially built by Luo Xiu at his special instruction to the apostles. It was an "altar" exclusively for Luo Xiu's use.

And the ceremony he will preside over will indeed use this obsidian cage——

He will preside over the ritual of summoning and contracting the "demon"!
