An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 133 Forbidden Items
Seeing the flood of notifications appear before him, even Chu Xiu, who was usually so composed, couldn't help but smile.

The first item was an opening lightning strike, costing a full 41100 causal points!

This is absolutely a case of getting rich overnight!
"With so many causal points, I'm afraid I can master all the unlocked fierce-level inheritances the moment I step into the fierce-level!" Chu Xiu couldn't hide his smile.

He could even brute-force his way to experience points by using causal points to directly boost his experience!
"This is truly overnight wealth. Even awakened beings at the general level rarely have this many karma points in their savings. I doubt there has ever been anyone in Chinese history who has contributed as much as I have," Chu Xiu sighed inwardly.

The following item rewards were fairly standard: four Directional Deep Dive Scrolls and a Hand of Deprivation, which he could sell for a large sum of money even if he didn't use them, as well as the expected Core Anchor Point.

But the last two items left Chu Xiu stunned on the spot.

"Myths and taboos?"

He stood there stunned for a long time, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face!
Mythical items are the next level after Legendary items, and each one is extremely precious! Let alone this level, even General and King level items are rarely possessed! Almost every Mythical item is held by the most elite Awakened!
Although the value of mythical items is much lower than that of mythical equipment, and this is only a fierce-tier mythical item, its value is basically at the bottom among mythical items.

Even so, this is still amazing enough!

However, considering how difficult it is to obtain this item, it seems reasonable, since it requires achieving over 70% damage when soloing a boss! Apart from Chu Xiu, only SSS-level professional talents should have a chance of doing so.

Without much hesitation, Chu Xiu began to examine the item's attributes with anticipation.

【The roots and tendrils of the blood vine reaching for the sky】

[Rank: Fierce (Upgradeable)]

[Rank: Mythical]

[Effect: After planting the roots, they will rapidly absorb energy from the surrounding area to grow. The vitality and health regeneration speed of all friendly creatures within the area will be greatly increased. The specific effect depends on the growth value of the roots.]

[Evaluation: The Blood Vine that reaches the sky grows in the deepest part of the Blood Sea. Legend has it that its original form is a piece of tentacle that fell from the boundless Blood Pool.]

The veracity of this legend is unknown, but what is certain is that the Heavenly Blood Vine can absorb the power of all blood to grow rapidly. Therefore, in order to be able to use it anytime and anywhere, you'd better prepare some high-quality blood.

Additionally, placing the Blood Vine near the Blood Pool itself will increase its rank.

A large-area group buff item!

Although the specific effects are unknown, as a mythical quality item, it must be quite powerful; the Corpse King's terrifying regenerative ability serves as a reference.

Most importantly, this is a very rare "autonomous" item, because it does not require the user to drive it at all, so even if Chu Xiu is a warrior-level character, he can still use it in advance.

If Chu Xiu's growth rate is high enough, he will probably be able to turn the Demonic Qi Infusion into a regular skill. At that time, it will probably not be difficult for him to fight against a General-level Awakened!

"Even a Talented Scholar possesses a Mythical-quality Ferocious-grade item."

If this were told to others, I'm afraid no one would believe it!

Chu Xiu felt that he should be able to pass the subsequent fierce-level trials without any surprises.

Although Chu Xiu felt that even without this item, with his current strength, passing the Fierce Rank Trial shouldn't be too difficult, it's always good to have an extra trump card.

Without thinking further, Chu Xiu turned his gaze to the last item, a thoughtful expression on his face.

[Proof of the Past (Taboo): With this proof, one gains the qualification to explore the past.]

A single, simple introduction left Chu Xiu completely bewildered.

Chu Xiu had also heard about the Forbidden quality; it was not part of the standard grading system, and each piece was extremely rare and unique.

But being rare and special is one thing; whether it can be put to use is another.

There is almost no information about it online because very few Awakened Ones can obtain forbidden items.

But one thing is certain: every forbidden item is extremely dangerous!

The official website of Awakeners mentions a case in which a King-level Awakener obtained a forbidden item, but due to a mishandling error, the forbidden item annihilated the life of an entire world, and the Awakener himself transformed into an immortal and indestructible being.

Even now, that world remains a forbidden zone that no one dares to explore. Even awakened beings of the same king rank risk perishing if they enter.

"Go back and investigate what this thing is for."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then put it back into his storage space. Without further hesitation, he followed the anchor point's guidance and moved towards Blue Star.

At the same time, Ye Junlin was being questioned by government officials in a closed room.

This was the standard procedure, but to Ye Junlin's surprise, his parents were both present. When they saw that he was safe and sound, his mother rushed forward and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears.

This left Ye Junlin completely bewildered. His mother, a powerful awakened being at the King rank, had never lost her composure like this in front of him before.

"Son, I thought we would never see you again."

Ye's father patted his shoulder, his expression also moved, which made Ye Junlin realize that something was wrong.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on here?"

Before the two could reply, the government official preemptively answered his question: "Hello, Ye. My name is Qin Xiang, and I am an A-level specialist from the Investigation Bureau."

"Your parents are extremely worried about your safety because of the seven teams that were tasked with conquering the world mission around the same time as you. Almost all of them were wiped out, with only a very few surviving, including three teams from the inner city!"

"I came here specifically to investigate this matter."

Qin Xiang's words left Ye Junlin speechless!
Although the success rate of world missions is not high, usually even if you fail, at least half of the awakened ones will survive, especially the trial participants in the inner city, who are extremely elite. People like him and Lin Wanyue, who have talent and family background, are guaranteed to have at least a dozen or so!
In this situation, all seven teams were completely wiped out?
"What the hell is this."

Seeing Ye Junlin's shocked expression, Qin Xiang slowly said, "It's because of the 'Extreme Path'."

"It's not just you guys who encountered these guys; it's as if they suddenly organized themselves. These lunatics started appearing all at once, greatly increasing the difficulty of conquering the world mission."

"Some extreme sects have even launched large-scale attacks on Earth!"

Qin Xiang's words brought a look of shock back to Ye Junlin's eyes. He had originally thought that the Extreme Path was just a small organization that had suddenly appeared, but now it seemed that the other party was far larger than he had imagined.

Qin Xiang continued, "Currently, the government has suspended the world mission and organized a large number of people to investigate the 'Extreme Path' organization."

"What I'm more curious about now is how you survived the yakuza and completed the world missions."

Ye Junlin did not hide anything and immediately recounted everything that had happened in the Corpse Demon World.

In the end, Ye Junlin sighed, "I never expected that what I thought was just a random mini-boss that would spawn in the wild would turn out to be the key to clearing the game."

However, Qin Xiang shook his head.

"The Abyss missions are only issued to Awakened Ones. As it stands, no one but the Dark Lord is likely to be the first."

"The Dark King you speak of is definitely not some wild boss, but an Awakened One with extremely high talent!"

Qin Xiang's words left Ye Junlin completely stunned. After a long while, he exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Even SSS-level Awakened Ones aren't this monstrous, are they?"

Ye Junlin's mother also frowned and said, "According to Junlin, the final Corpse King had a physique of over 800 and a powerful physical recovery ability, yet he was so easily killed by the Dark Night King. His physique must have been at least over 1,000. Are you saying that a Warrior-level Awakener can have a physique of 1,000?"

Father Ye, however, looked thoughtful: "If he were a disciple specially trained by some Heavenly King, that would be quite possible, but why would someone like that come to Jiangcheng?"

"In any case, the important thing now is—"

Qin Xiang's expression turned serious. "We must do everything we can to contact the Dark Night King!"

Mr. and Mrs. Ye seemed to have thought of something as well, and their expressions also became solemn. They nodded and said, "That's right, this is the most urgent matter."

Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Ye Junlin asked in confusion, "Is the Dark Night King that important?"

In his view, no matter how talented the other party is, it has nothing to do with other people. As for the core anchor points, although they are precious, dozens are produced every year, which is not enough to attract an A-level operator to come in person.

It's important to know that those who can become A-rank operators are basically awakened individuals at the King rank or above, whose strength and abilities are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine!

In response to his question, Qin Xiang glanced at Ye's father, then turned around and said, "With your talent, you'll inevitably come into contact with these secrets sooner or later. Let me tell you about them now."

"What is truly important to the Night King is not the [Core Anchor Point], but an item that he may obtain."

“An item called [Proof of the Past].
