545: Chapter 543 Obtaining a Rare Item: The Cloak of Night

Chu Xuan's thoughts stirred, and the indestructible flowing shadow transformed into a jet-black, shiny ring that he put on his right hand; this way, it could turn into a weapon and fall into his hand at any time.

"It gained an extra characteristic, equivalent to teleportation, but I don't know what the maximum distance is..." Chu Xuan tried asking the System.

[When the indestructible flowing shadow is within your sensing range, you can move to its vicinity at any time. (Note: The distance varies depending on the environment.)]

Chu Xuan couldn't wait to test it.

"Slow down the speed."

Chu Xuan had Gaga Chicken control the white emperor fighter's flight speed, transformed the indestructible flowing shadow into a palm-sized piece of paper, and dropped it from an altitude of over 5,000 meters using the built-in deployment function.

The black paper fluttered in the strong wind.

Chu Xuan observed the movement distance displayed on the fighter's operation interface.

1 kilometer, 2 kilometers, 2 kilometers...

The indestructible flowing shadow had long exceeded Chu Xuan's Mental Energy sensing range, but in his heart, he could always sense its location.

However, as the distance increased, this sense became increasingly blurred.

Until it exceeded 10,000 meters, the sense became faint, and when it reached about 12,000 meters, the sense disappeared completely.

Chu Xuan tried to move to the vicinity of the indestructible flowing shadow, but it had no effect.

"Return," Chu Xuan said.

The white emperor fighter drew an arc in the air and turned back. Until it returned to 12,000 meters, Chu Xuan, who was in the cockpit, suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air more than 12,000 meters away.

In an instant, Chu Xuan saw the black paper still floating in the air, within reach, and immediately raised his hand; the paper transformed back into a ring and wrapped around his fingertip.

"The distance varies slightly in different environments, but in the Cangyun World, being able to reach 12,000 meters is enough. The next actions will be even safer..."

Chu Xuan stepped on the Void Realm, kicking up a circle of white air waves. As the white emperor fighter hovered beneath his feet, he used teleportation to return to the cockpit.

"Boss Chu, this is too useful!" Gaga Chicken said, full of envy.

"Don't worry, if there are good things later, I will save them for you."

Chu Xuan smiled lightly, told Gaga Chicken to continue heading towards the Land of Gods Fall, and took off the night cloak, stuffing it into the Purification Furnace.

To Chu Xuan's surprise, the spirituality value consumed this time was a full 800 points, even more than the consumption for purifying the indestructible flowing shadow.

Chu Xuan almost wanted to give up directly, but thinking of the sunk cost, and that although this item didn't have high defense, it could self-repair and be worn as clothing, he finally endured it.

[night cloak Purification complete!]

[This item has mutated due to the influence of rules, and the current restrictions have been lifted! You can consume 1 rule fragment to turn this item into a Curio and define this mutation: When you wear the cloak, your resistance to The Gloom erosion increases by 120%. You can consume spirituality value and Mental Energy to form a night Domain within your Mental Energy range, causing suffocating pressure on life forms with any real attribute below 10 points. (If there are no real attribute, the pressure increases by 20%). And perform a comprehensive judgment on the target's spirit, stamina, strength, and agility; any life form with attributes below 80% of yours will be suppressed to varying degrees. This item has a self-repair characteristic, and its defense is strengthened, capable of withstanding destructive attacks of up to 1000 points of damage. When the limit is exceeded, this item will be damaged, and the effect of the night Domain will weaken accordingly until self-repair is complete.]

"It can actually consume a rule fragment to become a Curio..."

Chu Xuan carefully pondered the potential meaning in the prompt: "Mutated due to the influence of rules... Could it be because it was controlled by three A-Rank merged Specters during the Passing Three Passes mission and became a part of the third pass, which caused it to mutate?"

Chu Xuan nodded secretly.

"Increasing resistance to The Gloom is not very meaningful to me, it's only an increase of 1.2 times, whereas my maxed-out [Forbidden Darkness] increases it by 100 times directly. However, the nature of the night Domain has changed, suppressing life forms with attributes below 80% of mine, and it also increased additional defense... It's worth it!"

Chu Xuan immediately spent 1 rule fragment.

[You have obtained the Curio · night cloak!]

[Remaining rule fragments: 2]

[Detected that your compatibility with this item is 90%. Do you want to consume 200 spirituality value to bind this item to yourself? (Hint: Binding this item allows you to use it without consuming spirituality value.)]

—Yes.

[You consumed 200 spirituality value, and you have bound the night cloak.]

In this instant, Chu Xuan had a feeling similar to when he previously mastered the indestructible flowing shadow; his sense of this night cloak strengthened, and it fit perfectly when draped over his body, as light as nothing.

"In this way, I can consider myself to have a Domain..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his understanding, after a Transcendent advances in Rank, they should be able to possess their own Domain, equivalent to the Natal Divine Ability mastered by a Martial Artist after reaching the Guiyuan Realm.

In the past, the Specter's Domain was influenced by the rules of The Gloom, making it much stronger—it would be no exaggeration to call it terrifying—possessing corresponding rules and a huge range.

Later, the range became smaller, but it possessed death rules.

And when the source of the death rules, the Demon Concubine, left, and the St. Lianna Hospital recovered, it was weakened again.

"I am already Rank 13 now, yet I don't have any feeling of mastering a Domain. Is it because of insufficient time, or does it need to be comprehended by oneself?"

Chu Xuan shook his head; now was not the time to consider these things.

He continued to check the available resources and finally fixed his gaze on the [extraordinary skill promotion scroll], totaling ten.

This item can break through the 3-Rank limit of the God-Ascension Sequence, allowing skills to continue upgrading.

"Normal authority: Steal LV.3, Clone LV.4; True Authority: Unyielding LV.3, Myriad Forms LV.3..."

After checking the Transcendent Skills he could currently promote, Chu Xuan did not upgrade them immediately, but first asked the System.

—Breaking through the limits of the God-Ascension Sequence and upgrading normal authority and True Authority, is the number of scrolls required the same?

[God-Ascension Sequence skills of normal authority only require 1 scroll to upgrade; for True Authority upgrades, the number of "extraordinary skill promotion scrolls" required is the same as the target skill level value that needs to be improved.]

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he secretly said, "As expected."

The level of True Authority is obviously higher; not only can it be upgraded to a higher level, but it can also obtain additional real attribute point exchange quotas.

And for most Transcendents who have embarked on the God-Ascension Sequence, this is also a necessary condition for personal Rank improvement.

"In this way, upgrading everything is definitely not enough, I need to make some choices..." Chu Xuan thought about the encounters he would face next, and first decided to give up upgrading the Steal skill.

"Clone is 1 level away from being maxed out, it's very practical, I can upgrade it to full level first..."

Chu Xuan directly consumed 1 scroll and 800 spirituality value to max out the level of Clone.

[Clone LV.MAX: You can strip away any body tissue to create a Clone, and you can freely allocate the Clone's stamina, strength, and agility attributes, with each attribute not exceeding 80% of the original body. The maximum number of Clones that can exist simultaneously is 100, and the maximum maintenance time is 7 days. Note 1: The more Clones or the longer the maintenance time, the lower their respective attributes will be. If the total number of Clones created within 7 days exceeds 100, each additional Clone created will result in a loss of 1% of total health points.]

"The more Clones that exist simultaneously, the lower the attributes will be, equivalent to being dispersed..."

Chu Xuan focused on this prompt, thinking of the 100 Clones that the Night Demon had once split into, each of which was very weak, and he understood.

The fewer the number of Clones, the higher the attributes, up to 80% of the original body.

In other words, with Chu Xuan's current strength, even if he split off a blank Clone without any skills, he could easily beat a Renyuan Martial Artist.

Not only that, the maintenance time of the Clone also reached a full 7 days from the previous 1 day.

This could allow for doing many things.

"Next is [Unyielding] and [Myriad Forms]..."

Chu Xuan fell into contemplation. Upgrading [Unyielding] could maintain combat power, improve survival ability, and deal with more dangerous crises.

While the [Myriad Forms] skill could be used for disguise, which was also a key skill for his subsequent infiltration into the Cangyun Sect.
