Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.
Chapter 435 Devouring and Sublimation!
Chapter 435 Devouring and Sublimation! (7k!)
Scarlet surges.
In the "Lightless Cage" - the river of blood seeping out from the space cracks is still flowing downwards. Although it is only a "projection" of a corner of the River Styx, it is indeed emitting a very scorching temperature.
The two bodies that originally belonged to the "gluttonous tyrant" Brigantes were "soaked" in it. The container from "Calivian" had completely melted into black mud and sat there like a silt pile.
As for His original body, the huge black worm, it had also lost all vitality.
Brigantes the Gluttonous Tyrant is indeed dead.
Truly dead - after being stripped of his true name of "immortality", his physical body had completely collapsed, and his soul had become completely chaotic, leaving only a formless shell that was still overflowing with spirituality.
In Luo Xiu's mailbox panel, the reward for killing the "Greedy Tyrant" Brigantis was flashing a striking red dot.
At this time, Luo Xiu also felt waves of obvious headaches coming up.
Because of "transforming into a demon" with the help of the "Scripture of the Abyss", this is the backlash that will inevitably be experienced afterwards.
But Luo Xiu had not yet released his "Devil Incarnate" state. He had already retracted his weapon, activated the seal of the Holy Abyss Royal Court, and teleported the "Abyss Holy Scripture" back to his golden throne. Then, he raised his hands flatly.
"I will inherit."
He recited in a cold voice, word for word clearly:
"——I will inherit the weight of the Tyrant's crown."
"--their 'soul' will belong to me,"
"--their 'flesh and blood' will be mine,"
"——Its 'true name' will belong to me!"
——Buzz!!!
Luo Xiu's lips were buzzing as he chanted in a low, complex voice. Wisps of profound spirituality continued to emanate from the outline of his body, transforming into illusory tentacles that "captured" the remaining souls wandering in the lightless cage.
This is the last step!
The final step to completely "devour" the "gluttonous tyrant" Brigantes!
This is the law of the Abyss. A demon can "devour" another demon!
The power of the abyss is thus concentrated at the extreme point - although Luo Xiu is not a real demon, the "Death Rattle Demon" Mourner is.
There are also contracted abyss beasts - "Ashe Wolf King" Fenrir and "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye who can also enjoy this devouring feast!
——They will all be sublimated!
Fenrir and Misty Night will devour and absorb the remaining power of Brigantis, thereby sublimating into abyssal beasts of the "Destruction" level.
And the "Deathrattle Demon" Mourner - He will devour the soul of Brigantis, reshape His true name, and be upgraded to a "Chaos Spirit" - sublime into a "True Ancestor Demon", and thus possess His true name!
This is Luo Xiu’s ultimate goal!
……
The chaotic souls belonging to "Brigantis" gradually gathered again, and under the control of those soul manipulators, they condensed into dozens of spiritual light balls of various sizes, like bubbles, in mid-air.
That is "soul" - but it is a broken soul.
Containing a tremendous and powerful force, Luo Xiu controlled the soul manipulators, gradually rubbing them together into a larger ball of soul light.
The soul of "Brigantis" was thus recondensed into its original complete shape.
But his power was stripped away from it, and combined with the soul impurities that he had not had time to digest, it was rubbed into two other balls of light that were a mixture of gray and dark purple, leaving only the purest part as "nutrients".
Luo Xiu controlled the largest scarlet light ball and made it slowly float towards the direction of the "Death Whisper Demon" Mourner.
The mourner has spread out his four arms and opened his four eyes which were always slightly closed.
He embraced the soul given to him by the "Lord of the Contract" - it was an extremely hot and burning soul from "Brigantis".
The moment He deeply embraced the largest ball of scarlet light, His entire body began to burn fiercely with scarlet flames.
His skin began to peel off layer by layer due to the flames, and new flesh and blood soon grew out from deep inside. He began to transform from the inside out. This is a necessary process for "sublimation".
Then, above the river of blood that continuously gushed out from the fissure, the ashes of Brigantis' "real name" that had originally been reduced to ashes and swallowed up in it, which had not yet been completely burned, surged up again and began to reshape into a new real name, and it was dyed pale, dark gold, and then deep purple from the corners.
The River of Blood is being reshaped - it is being reshaped for the "Death Whisper Demon" mourner, His true name!
It was under Luo Xiu's gaze,
He saw that the scarlet flames that were constantly burning and spreading above the outline of the mourner's body had gradually enveloped it and condensed into substance, and then condensed into a huge, scarlet and deep cocoon.
Luo Xiu knew that within that giant cocoon, the sublimation of the "Death Whisper Demon" Mourner had already begun.
The next time He breaks out of the cocoon, He will be the new "True Ancestor Demon" - His status will also be promoted to a Chaos Spirit, which is the same as the previous "Gluttonous Tyrant" Brigantes.
This requires a certain amount of patience, the patience to wait for the mourners to fully absorb the legacy of the soul of "Brigantis".
Luo Xiu then raised his arm slightly and deployed a crimson teleportation array on the ground where the "Deathrattle Demon" Mourner had turned into a cocoon.
He summoned back the "Deathrattle Demon" Mourner, causing Him to return to the abyss, to where He was supposed to be, to complete His final "sublimation".
The giant cocoon with alternating dark and scarlet colors soon became illusory and blurred, until the several rings of deep red circles finally closed, and he had been called back to the abyss.
When He is truly elevated to the "True Ancestor Demon" and possesses the "True True Name", I, as the contractor, will also feel it. At that time, I will see what a brand new attitude He has acquired.
……
After seeing off the mourners, Luo Xiu's attention turned elsewhere.
He had seen that on the corpse of the giant black insect that originally belonged to "Brigantis", from among the dense and terrifying cracks, azure and dark green mists were being released.
——That is the color of the soul of a saint who has attained enlightenment.
It is the soul of "Omniscient Attendant" Kalivian!
"And there's an extra bonus..."
Luo Xiu murmured,
He thought that perhaps Brigantis had not yet completely digested Calivian's soul. The surface of the azure soul light ball was still glowing green, like green mucus attached to a blue balloon.
Luo Xiu then controlled the soul manipulator and pulled the soul of "Kalivian" out of the flesh and blood, while he looked towards Wu Ye.
He also released himself from the state of "demon incarnation", allowing "Wolf King of Ashes" Fenrir to separate from him, and Fenrir immediately pounced on the completely collapsed body of "Brigantis" soaked in a pool of blood.
At this time, inside the "Lightless Cage", a large number of ownerless spirits that originally belonged to "Brigantis" were still raging and radiating, releasing billowing and scorching breath.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also felt a severe headache coming up - after being freed from the "demon incarnation" state, the backlash from the "demon incarnation" state had become more obvious, so he hurried to proceed with the next action.
His gaze was fixed on Fenrir, the "Ashe Wolf King", and Wuye, the "Shadow Raven". At the same time, he controlled countless soul manipulators to peel off the gray and dark purple light balls that originally belonged to "Brigantis"'s soul and carried his surging power, and floated them towards Fenrir and Wuye respectively.
At the same time, Luo Xiu rubbed the mithril ring on his finger, releasing the soul of another "saint" from it - the soul of Monur, the "Lord of Evil Beasts".
The soul ball of Monnur, together with the soul of "Omniscient Attendant" Calivian that was extracted from the body of "Brigantis", floated lightly towards Fenrir and Misty Night.
The giant wolf, with terrifying demonic flames emanating from its body and burning in it, instinctively pounced on the soul of Monur, the Lord of Evil Beasts. In its perception, it thought that soul should be more delicious than the mixture of blue and dark green next to it.
But the closer "Shadow Raven" had already dispersed thousands of fog shadows, which enveloped and wrapped Monur's soul in darkness. It also occupied the gray soul light ball from Brigantis, and began to devour, absorb and digest them.
"Ouch——"
Fenrir let out a somewhat dissatisfied roar, as if someone had overturned the dog bowl.
But then it pounced to the other side, towards the soul of the "Omniscient Attendant" Calivian.
At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth, spewing out scarlet flames, burning the azure and dark green souls.
The dark green mottled light gradually faded and dissipated under the scorching scarlet flames. There was no longer any trace of the unsuccessful digestion of "Brigantis", and the color of the soul light ball gradually turned towards dark blue.
Only after he had completely purified the soul of "Omniscient Attendant" Calivian in his own way did Fenrir open his bloody mouth again and swallow the deep blue soul in one gulp!
——Buzz!!!
The air around it rippled at the same time, making waves like tidal surges, and the deep purple soul light ball that originally belonged to "Brigantis" also touched its body at the same time, and finally perfectly merged into the deep flames emanating from its body.
The auras of Fenrir, the Cinder Wolf King, and Misty Night, the Shadow Raven, began to rise almost simultaneously.
Layer upon layer of gauze-like misty light surged out from their outer contours, and "cocoons" began to condense on their bodies - they were all materialized dark erosion spiritualities, and they were sublimated and reborn in the cocoons like nirvana.
Luo Xiu stared at them.
Unlike the Deathrattle Demons, which need a long wait to be upgraded from "Ancient Spirits" to "Chaos Spirits" and from "Upper Demons" to "True Ancestor Demons", it will take a lot of time for the "Abyss Beasts" to achieve their racial sublimation much faster.
The time that the "Lightless Cage" can last is enough for them to complete the final step of sublimation.
Luo Xiu was ready to witness their sublimated state with his own eyes, and he also needed to restore himself to his normal state dominated by [Glory].
He clearly felt that his headache had become more severe, and he could hear waves of vague whispers of persuasion to depravity in his ears.
The voice was as sweet as nectar, tempting him to fall into the abyss, sink into the Styx, and truly walk on the path without light.
His pupils were trembling slightly, emitting sometimes dark purple and sometimes bright golden light. Shallow lines of corrosion spread across his neck, like the strings of a puppet, pulling him deeper into the depths.
His nearly 1,000 points of "resistance" attribute were taking effect, which prevented him from being truly seduced by the whispers of the "abyss".
But his brows were still tightly furrowed. If it weren't for his strong willpower supporting him, he would probably have fainted on the spot.
Luo Xiu knew this.
He thus continued to fight against the spiritual backlash from the Abyss, and at the same time began to redirect the spirituality of Light to return and fill himself.
The already dense erosion lines on his neck began to gradually fade away under the repeated washing of the spiritual power of [Glory].
But the splitting headache remained - he tried hard to maintain his will so that it would not collapse at this moment.
……
I don’t know how much time has passed.
That could be minutes, hours, or even days.
Luo Xiu was still staring in front of him, staring at the two balls of light mist that were constantly surging in black, dark purple and scarlet.
His shoulders were trembling a little, a layer of cold sweat had seeped out of his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot.
And in the next moment——
The two balls of light mist, which were intertwined with dark colors and had been constantly surging and changing, suddenly bloomed!
Like a blood-stained lotus with three colors, it bloomed! The new existences among them - the new Fenrir and Wuye, they have appeared in front of Luo Xiu in a brand new posture.
Their aura has been sublimated and stabilized at the level of "destruction"!
In Luo Xiu's vision——
The first thing he saw was a giant wolf that was as black as night and twice as big as before.
That was Fenrir. The scarlet and dark purple flames that were originally burning all over his body had completely lost their color, turning into the deepest and most original black. Luo Xiu could already feel the coldness from him - it was the bone-chilling coldness that was surging from within.
But the external feeling is still hot, like a furnace!
"--Roar!!!"
Fenrir raised his huge wolf head and let out a deafening roar to the sky.
The "flame" all over its body - the black flame fully opened up, causing the temperature inside the entire lightless cage to suddenly rise a lot!
The scorching temperature released was much hotter than the previous form of "Ashes Wolf King"!
——It is now Fenrir, the "Eternal Night Wolf"!
It has completed the sublimation of its origin, and its panel has appeared in front of Luo Xiu——

This is Fenrir, the "Wolf of Eternal Night" - his panel after achieving racial sublimation!
It has been upgraded from "Wolf King" to "Wolf Seat", and its various attributes have increased exponentially compared to before.
That already has a strength equivalent to the peak of the normal "Fivefold Fate" and even close to the strength of the "Sixfold Fate".
After being upgraded to the "Destroyer" level, its level cap was opened again. As long as one wanted, all the experience points accumulated in the "Spiritual Fountain" could be fed to it, allowing its attributes to double.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu's gaze had already turned to the "Raven" on the other side.
He also saw that there was a thick black fog there.
It was similar to the posture of the "Shadow Raven" - countless gazes were cast from the black fog, but those gazes became deeper and more secretive than before, and even... more dense.
The original pair of scarlet pupils have disappeared, and it is no longer restricted to the form of "raven" - it is now a black mist, which can be anything, and anything can be it.
Through Luo Xiu's panel detection of it, he also obtained its current name.

【…】
This is the panel of the "Eye of the Lunar Eclipse" Fog Night.
Luo Xiu quickly browsed through the contents on the panel, then glanced at Fenrir, the "Eternal Night Wolf", and Wu Ye, the "Eye of the Lunar Eclipse", and then closed the panel.
He was satisfied with the strength of Fenrir and Wu Ye after their "racial sublimation".
At least before he truly advances to the "Sixth Level of Destiny", they will no longer be marginal combat forces, but will be able to regard them as the powerful combat forces of a true "Fifth Level of Destiny" saint, and fight together with them.
After Luo Xiu witnessed the entire process of their "racial sublimation",
The severe headache that was about to burst came up again like a tide.
In Luo Xiu's ears, the whispers from the "abyss" became stronger and stronger, but that was already the end - the spirituality belonging to [Glory] had successfully returned to himself and had taken the dominant position in the spirituality.
Until now - although the pain in the body is still increasing, there is no risk of losing control due to excessive use of the power of the "Abyss".
After confirming his own condition one last time, Luo Xiu recalled Fenrir, the "Wolf of Eternal Night", and Wu Ye, the "Eye of the Lunar Eclipse", and ordered them to return to the Abyss.
Although there are still many things he wants to test and understand about them, such as what their forms will be like after they are sublimated to the "Destruction" level and in the [Glory] form - but with Luo Xiu's current physical condition, he is already at the limit and can't hold on any longer.
It was under the combined effects of extreme fatigue and weakness, and a tearing headache, that Luo Xiu once again activated the mark of "authority".
That was the command to release and retract the "Lightless Cage".
The huge black curtain covering Luo Xiu's head and surroundings began to have holes from above, and a ray of light shone in from the sky.
Outside, it was already dawn.
When the lightless cage completely dissipated, the familiar, ruin-like scene in the center of the battlefield returned to his field of vision, and at the same time, he also saw Albert, Lansas, and the "Golden Sword Saint" Klein Fesela and others.
Apart from them, the entire battlefield in the center of Latama City was already littered with corpses, including those of the Abyss Beasts, the Black Fangs and Fangheads, the Border Knights, and the Clergy...
The concave places on the ground were filled with dark blood, emitting a strong, bloody smell. This place had experienced a brutal bloody battle - it was no less than the final bloody battle between himself and the "gluttonous tyrant" Brigantes in the "Lightless Cage".
Luo Xiu was thinking about this.
His consciousness began to become blurred.
And in his eyes, he saw that the "Thunder General" Albert was the first to notice him - Albert seemed to shout something, and then galloped towards him on an armored horse.
But Luo Xiu could no longer see him clearly. All the colors in his eyes began to blend and mix together like a palette. Soon he felt dizzy and an increasingly sharp sound came to his ears.
Then in the next moment,
——Plop.
He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes closed heavily, and finally lost the last bit of consciousness.
