Chapter 706 - 380: Black Tuo Source Power, World Slaughter Form Goes Berserk

Su Chen speculated as he reached out and grasped a portion of the Power of Faith. A description appeared on the interface:

[Black Tuo Faith Essence: Faith Essence imbued with Black Tuo Divine Power.]

"Six portions are enough to meet the Residual Spirit’s needs, but this stuff is contaminated... It seems he won’t be able to use it." Su Chen frowned, having no idea how to go about purifying it. He was just about to ask the Residual Spirit when a sudden thought crossed his mind. "Wait, I think I can extract the Black Tuo Divine Power..."

Carefully sensing his inner state, Su Chen channeled his power as a Black Tuo High Priest. Sure enough, the Faith Essence before him began to tremble continuously. Wisps of black mist were drawn out like spun silk, sinking into his body and transforming into a portion of High-tier Black Tuo Power on the interface.

"The Divine Power is what’s mixed into this Faith Essence. As long as I extract the Divine Power, it can be considered purified. Coincidentally, as a Black Tuo High Priest, I can indirectly purify the essence by extracting the Divine Power." Su Chen pinched the Faith Essence. It was as translucent as jade and emitted a faint golden glow.

This was unexpectedly good news. He had originally thought that purifying Faith Essence would be troublesome, but he never expected it to be so simple. He successively picked up the remaining pieces, quickly and thoroughly purifying the six portions of Faith Essence before putting them away.

He then turned to open another box, which contained five drops of Divine Blood.

"The amount of Divine Blood isn’t that much. To refine Qin Yun, I need ten drops. I can just requisition some more from the Sect," Su Chen muttered as he pocketed the drops. His gaze landed on the final box. Inside was the key item needed to undergo the Fire Fall.

Quite curious, he opened it to find an extremely profound, dark light. Still in the state of a Black Tuo High Priest, he could clearly feel a fatal attraction radiating from it—an allure far more intense than what the Divine Blood or Divine Power brought him. Su Chen tentatively grasped it, figuring that with his Black Tuo High Priest state, this thing shouldn’t pose any danger to him.

Unexpectedly, the moment his fingers closed around it, the item was pulled in by an invisible force within his body. Familiar with this sensation, Su Chen hurriedly opened his interface. As expected, a new material had been added.

[Black Tuo Source Power: Can prompt a Holy Profession to find the opportunity for further transformation.]

"Black Tuo Source Power?" Su Chen was taken aback, involuntarily recalling the Perfect-Level Deceitful God Source Power he had obtained from the Flame Space trial. So it was this thing...

The description of the Black Tuo Source Power was largely what he had anticipated. Black Tuo Divine Power could allow a Main Profession to evolve, and essence could cause special professions to transform; naturally, Source Power could allow a Holy Profession to become even stronger. "This is an unexpected harvest. It’s probably the Deceitful God’s most core Origin, prompting a Holy Profession to find an opportunity for further transformation..."

Having obtained a new material, Su Chen naturally wanted to see its specific effects. Just as he was wondering which Holy Profession to apply it to, text suddenly appeared on the interface:

[World Slaughter Form is displeased to see Permanent Body becoming Strong, and hopes this Deceitful God Source Power will be applied to him.]

World Slaughter Form? Su Chen paused in slight disbelief, silently rendering himself speechless. He thought, "The other guy worked hard to improve on his own, so what are you getting so upset about? Forget it. Since you want it, I’ll let you use it." Without hesitation, Su Chen applied the Black Tuo Source Power to the World Slaughter Form.

[Enveloped by the Black Tuo Source Power, World Slaughter Form vaguely becomes hideous and terrifying. His gaze turns, landing on the Holy Profession "Forge Celestial Mark", and he pounces like a starving tiger on its prey, swallowing Forge Celestial Mark whole.]

Gone mad? World Slaughter Form ate Forge Celestial Mark?

Staring at the text description, Su Chen froze slightly. He had originally thought that World Slaughter Form might act like Permanent Body and devour several professions. These two Holy Professions... Su Chen pondered for a moment, realizing it didn’t seem entirely unprompted. World Slaughter Form wasn’t a Holy Profession that purely specialized in one aspect. He combined professions like Blood Burning, Ravaging, Vajra Venerable, and Soldier Master. Among them, Soldier Master was closely tied to Secret Artifacts. Thus, being connected to a forging-type Holy Profession seemed somewhat justifiable.

Two Holy Professions merging into one—he wondered what kind of changes would occur this time. Su Chen looked at the interface; it seemed unlikely that there would be any immediate results in the short term.

"This Black Tuo Source Power really is good stuff." He rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining. Old Hei, oh, Old Hei. I’d be doing a disservice to all the effort you spent infiltrating if I didn’t fleece you for all you’re worth this time.

Without even stepping outside, Su Chen directly entered the Nether Realm and began to pray to Black Tuo.

"...My Lord," Su Chen spoke up immediately. He even felt he had managed to imbue his voice with a degree of genuine sincerity. "I’ve just received news that a group of our people was wiped out on the Iron Rhino Star. I’m afraid the items you asked me to retrieve have been seized by the Bronze Sect..."

After Bu Siqi took over, he had immediately struck a lethal blow. It was impossible for that group of Black Tuo Followers to transmit the message that the handover had already been completed.

"Yes, I am already aware," Black Tuo’s voice was deep; he had clearly already fumed over this.

Su Chen wasn’t surprised. It had taken Old Bu some time to return, meaning Black Tuo had surely learned the news even earlier and perhaps had already done some investigating. But outside of Copper Heart, no one really gave Zhou Yunyang any face. Moreover, in places a bit further out like the Iron Rhino Star, it was perfectly normal for seized goods to be privately pocketed during a purge. Given Black Tuo’s status as a descended avatar, it was simply impossible for him to investigate anything substantial.

"Damn that Bronze Sect!" Su Chen’s voice carried a seething rage. "The people I sent are still on their way. They will definitely tear the perpetrators limb from limb!"

"No need!" Black Tuo scolded. "Now is not the time to cause a huge commotion. I’ve already ordered someone to deliver another batch. Go pick it up at a different location."

As Black Tuo spoke, he also felt a pang of heartache. Divine Blood, Faith Essence, and Deceitful God Source Power—every single one of them was extremely important to him, especially after being severely wounded.
