Chapter 546: Sword Slaying the Enemy Soul, A Big Gamble!
Chapter 546: Sword Slaying the Enemy Soul, A Big Gamble!
The feedback from the All Spirit Compendium finally put Su Ping at ease.
At the same time, he thought about it and chose to absorb.
In an instant, the pervasive chill that enveloped his body, like a deathly sea about to swallow him whole, vanished without a trace.
Deep within his soul, on the open pages of the All Spirit Compendium, a feedback appeared, similar to when he first encountered the Heavenly Grave Mark:
【Advanced Primordial Power (Absorbing)】
【Contains powerful primordial rule power, the source of death and undead power with partial will, an extremely powerful force.
Option to fully merge with self, after which, can quickly elevate self's soul to higher stages and master corresponding abilities, but merging will affect self's mind and soul purity.
Option for All Spirit Compendium to completely absorb, after which all undead and death-related companion beast diagrams will be lit, reaching LV3 level. This ability's deduction experience cost is permanently reduced by 20%. Additionally, one LV5 diagram can be chosen for further diagram level enhancement.
Furthermore, after the All Spirit Compendium's absorption, the self's undead and death-related companion beast diagrams, upon obtaining their talents, can be directly evolved once. And after obtaining this type of primordial talent, it can be directly evolved once.】
Even though he was prepared and had guessed some of it,
Seeing the sheer magnitude of this seemingly colossal harvest, Su Ping was still a bit overwhelmed.
He would never choose that optional selection.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to absorb with the All Spirit Compendium.
However, he hadn't anticipated that by letting the All Spirit Compendium absorb a portion of the Death God's primordial power, the feedback and benefits would be so significant!
The previous Heavenly Grave Mark seemed to only allow LV5 diagrams to advance further, and that was likely just a small portion.
Yet, this complete portion of power could achieve so much, a dazzling array of possibilities.
Not to mention, just the reduction in experience cost for diagram deduction was already very enticing.
Undead companion beasts, a genuine and vast category, encompassed an extensive range, and while they didn't dominate half the companion beast world, they conservatively accounted for at least two-tenths of the total.
This enormous scope was sufficient to make future breeding of undead companion beasts a breeze.
Additionally, there was the enhancement of talents.
Su Ping recalled that Saint Dragon Legend had mentioned some insider information about high-level beastmasters when they chatted.
Upon reaching a certain level, especially for Holy Spirit Rank beastmasters aiming to break through to Legendary Rank, the evolution of talents seemed to play a crucial role.
In fact, the current effect was already quite exaggerated.
After reaching the Sovereign Rank, others meditated at a slower pace, but Su Ping experienced a surge.
Not only was his speed faster than before, but it seemed to be even quicker.
If not for his deliberate suppression, this Sovereign Peak might have been achieved earlier.
This was the boost provided by talents.
It was also the main reason for the second spiritual flame seed he could awaken, the ultimate reward of the youth vocational assessment.
But now, after absorbing the Death God's power source, could all talents related to undead companion beasts be directly enhanced?
Would new talents acquired in the future also benefit?
This almost guaranteed that Su Ping's future meditation speed wouldn't slow down with higher realms and might even further increase if he opened new diagrams swiftly.
Marvelous! However, despite his joy, Su Ping didn't rush to act.
This wasn't the time to take action.
Instead, as he manipulated the All Spirit Compendium, Su Ping released the primordial power.
Instantly, the pervasive chill of death reappeared in his mind and body.
However, this time, the power seemed to be restrained by the All Spirit Compendium, not affecting his consciousness recklessly.
On the contrary, under certain conditions, Su Ping even felt that he could control and utilize some of this power to a certain extent.
And that was enough.
With this thought, as he adapted to the chill, enveloped by it, Su Ping's soul slowly departed from the Death Sword.
The pitch-black long sword radiated a sinister glow.
Su Ping's figure reappeared slowly within the space.
What made Charles, who had been waiting there all this time, smile even more was that, at this moment, as Su Ping's figure appeared, the Death Sword embedded in the ground, surrounded by endless darkness,
A unique spiritual energy intertwined with Su Ping.
The result seemed self-evident.
"Su Ping, you have not disappointed me. Such power should be ruled by us, and we should harness it together! Trust me, our future will lead us to immortality!"
Charles spoke with exaggerated praise.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, then said after a moment:
"I've done as you instructed, Your Excellency. If you have your own agenda, it's time to speak up."
"Su Ping, your words are truly heart-breaking. Have you never believed me from the start? What I said before was the absolute truth! Of course, with the fusion of the Soul Flame of the Death God, I will awaken with each resurrection of the Death God, and the power will emerge from within my soul!"
The awakening of the Death Sword may very well restore the injuries inflicted by our Idol the last time, and it will also improve my realm.
This legendary figure, who holds the world's power of speech, will finally become a force under my control."
Charles spoke with great enthusiasm.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, instead of directly confronting him, he had another idea.
Should he maintain this state and continue the diplomatic deception with this fellow? After all, it seemed that even Charles himself couldn't detect that he had not truly merged with the Death God Mark's power!
If that was the case, he could uncover this guy's true intentions and even, in the future, use the information from this fellow and the Dragon Kingdom to achieve control.
Should he confront him or continue the diplomatic deception?
This question caused Su Ping to fall silent.
Just then, Charles, seeing Su Ping's silence, chuckled and said:
"What do you think? Although the soul is weak, it is the state closest to the essence of life and the true eternal state! But rest assured, Su Ping, I have a way to help you return to your physical body and deceive the Idol."
As he spoke,
A glimmer of light flashed in Su Ping's eyes.
He paid no attention to Charles before him; his soul seemed to see through time, and he saw many people.
Old Dad, Leng Ye, Qin Xiaoxue, Sang Sheng...
Many people.
His diplomatic deception would indeed bring him the greatest benefits in the end.
Although it was risky, with the ability of the All Spirit Compendium and the help of the Saint Dragon Legend, he believed that the other party would assist him.
But this was not the path Su Ping wanted to take.
Moreover, he saw some people before him, especially Mu Hang, the breeder he had known, who had died before his very eyes.
He had vowed to kill this fellow, and he had died before him, the only person he truly knew.
Su Ping didn't want to go back on his word at this moment, even if it was a lie.
Lies, when told repeatedly, can sometimes become reality.
This world truly has the existence of the undead.

The scattered soul fragments of the deceased Beastmaster drift and settle in various places.
Perhaps, there is a tiny fragment right beside you, around you, watching you.
If it were to hear that you are cooperating with the person you swore to kill, that unconscious soul fragment would probably feel very disappointed, wouldn't it? So, in the end, Su Ping finally exhaled and asked a question:
"Your Excellency Charles, did your soul mark come here through the residual power of the Soul Flame of the Death God? Can you summon your companion beast and fight here?"
Upon hearing this, Charles was slightly taken aback, seemingly not understanding why Su Ping asked such a question.
He replied:
"You're still thinking about what I said earlier. I've told you that the soul realm is indeed difficult to transcend, but I've only come as a projection of the soul mark's consciousness.
This ability is part of the legacy of the Death God. In the Eagle Kingdom's Heavenly Tomb, there is not only the Soul Flame but also this Bone Throne, which can connect to the other three Heavenly Tombs. Once you fully master the Death Sword, you can also achieve this.
At the same time, this is the true core of the Heavenly Tomb, and this Soul Furnace is formed based on the Bone Throne. Its value is comparable to a legendary undead resource! However, it's not very effective when used by a soul form.
I've already moved that Bone Throne to my Grand Tomb Breeding Laboratory. Su Ping, you can also relocate it to your place; it will be of great help to you!
As for the power of the soul mark and the companion beast, of course, I can't summon them, but rest assured. Once you master the power of the Death God, you can leave whenever you wish. Those things outside are based on the Bone Throne and the Heavenly Tomb's spiritual land, and they won't harm you; instead, you might be able to control them to some extent.
Charles, with a knowing smile, spoke, his knowledge seemingly endless.
So, Su Ping nodded, slowly drawing the Death Sword from the ground.
The sword's hilt was gripped by his soul, cold and terrifying, making Su Ping feel like a tiny raft navigating the ocean of death.
Charles' eyes glowed with a bright grayish-white flame.
As expected, Su Ping held the sword, and within his soul, the once-suppressed icy power surged again upon contact with the blade.
However, he clenched his teeth, guarding the last trace of clarity in his heart, then turned to Charles beside him.
Meeting Su Ping's gaze, Charles was slightly startled, for at that moment, the determination in Su Ping's soul was stronger and colder than ever before.
Then, in his incredulous gaze,
the long-sought legacy of the God of the Dead, the true core of the Heavenly Tomb, the sword pulsating with the rules of death, suddenly slashed down upon him in a twist he never anticipated.
"Su Ping! What are you doing?!"
Crack!
At that moment, Su Ping realized that the touch and shattering of souls could also produce a sound.
The Death Sword pierced Charles' skull.
The soul mark was cleaved with a massive crack.
However, aside from being just a mark, even if it were a real soul, it would be difficult to completely destroy it with such an attack.
So, without hesitation, Su Ping raised the black Death Sword again and slashed down fiercely!
"Su Ping! Stop! We are one! We are the reincarnation of the God of the Dead. How can you strike me? How dare you strike me? When the time comes, you will be utterly consumed by the power of the God of the Dead! I am just a mark; even if you destroy it, it will be of no use."
Charles remained calm, unconcerned. His soul's skull had already been split in two.
Su Ping, however, continued undeterred, slashing again while speaking calmly:
"Rest assured, when I meet your true form, I will slash it as well. I only hope that your skull will be harder than this soul mark!"
At that moment, Charles finally understood:
"Su Ping, are you deceiving me? But I tell you, I speak the truth. Since you dare to accept the fusion of the God of the Dead's mark and power,
and dare to strike me, the power of the God of the Dead will surely consume you! You will undoubtedly die when that time comes!"
"Then I'll wait for that day. If all else fails, you can have your true form come to the Dragon Kingdom, and I'll kill you. That way, I'll grant your wish; we can die together, won't that be great?"
Su Ping spoke, his actions uninterrupted. The Death Sword in his hand was like a mallet pounding a mole, or a hammer driving a nail, relentlessly smashing Charles' soul mark into pieces. Finally, he felt Charles' aura and soul mark disappear.
In an instant, Su Ping released the sword, letting it clatter to the ground.
Instantly, the power of the God of the Dead and the Death Sword separated within his soul, and the feeling of controlling everything vanished.
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, this feeling was intoxicating.
It was evident from Charles' soul mark, which couldn't even manage a hint of resistance.
However, Su Ping knew this power wasn't his.
Compared to this, it was better to turn this power into nourishment for the All Spirit Compendium.
But Su Ping wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he allowed the All Spirit Compendium to absorb this primordial power.
Then, he turned to the so-called Bone Throne.
Additionally, he held the Death Sword in his hand once more.
At that moment, without the connection to the power of the God of the Dead, the Death Sword, though still exuding an indescribable deathly aura, lacked the previous spirituality and terror.
It was cold to the touch, yet it still sent shivers down one's spine.
Clearly, after absorbing the mark and power of the God of the Dead, the Death Sword had become like an empty shell, retaining only a portion of its power and the remnants of its rules.
However, in that instant, as Su Ping gazed at the Death Sword, he paused.
Then, he looked at Qian Yi, who had remained motionless without his command, and blinked.
The next moment, Su Ping grinned and turned to the origami swordsman who had always followed him, saying with a smile:
"Qian Yi, dare you make a big bet?"
