627: Chapter 625 Tracing the Cause and Effect, A Perfect Ending!

In the sky, the giant humanoid bat monster did not die after being pierced by the long spear, but instead transformed into specks of fluorescent light.

In the next instant, it had already re-condensed its physical form. Although its size was much smaller than before, its wings, when spread out, were still a thousand meters wide.

"Eat you!" The monster swooped down towards the ground.

"Kill!" Chu Xuan couldn't help but let out a low roar. The Fire of Nirvana around his body did not diminish, and he had already condensed another long spear in his hand.

But just at this moment, in the far distance, that giant vine connecting to the blood river in the sky actually began to squirm and tilted downwards.

It appeared slow, but in reality, it smashed down at an extremely fast speed, splitting the sky open with a huge gap.

Not only that, but from within that blood river, a pair of giant palms stretched out, deeply prying the blood river open, as if some terrifying existence was about to crawl out.

"Leave the Purifier behind...!!"

The entire Dark Place trembled violently!

At this moment, Chu Xuan's entire body stiffened. He sensed that the consciousness within him had already become crazily twisted, even affecting physical changes.

His face twisted, regrowing four eyes and two mouths.

Within the body shrouded by the Fire of Nirvana, layer upon layer of scales covered his skin. A tail whipped out from his tailbone, and his arms extended and bent, transforming into scythes.

Chu Xuan's body was undergoing a Strange Creatures transformation, and even his consciousness had begun to blur.

Chu Xuan had long since attempted to return to the outside world through the indestructible flowing shadow, but failed.

In fact, from the moment he stepped into this Dark Place, he had lost his connection to the indestructible flowing shadow, as if completely isolated by The Gloom.

However, Chu Xuan was not panicked in the slightest.

Not only because this was just a dream, and everything was merely the result of a dream simulation.

But also because at this moment, just as his consciousness was about to dissipate, the countdown for the dream to end had reached the final second.

In an instant, a scorching white light flared, like a blazing sun dispelling the darkness, swallowing everything within sight.

The dream, ended!

...

...

Chu Xuan abruptly woke up.

He was still in the confinement room, as usual, his whole body burning with the Fire of Nirvana, staring with a strange expression at his reflection on the wall of the confinement room.

Withdrawing the Fire of Nirvana, Chu Xuan hurriedly checked the time.

10:31.

The dream-wake delay was still 31 minutes.

But what made Chu Xuan's expression look slightly gloomy was that his entire chest was now covered in pitch-black patterns.

"The consciousness within me not only has murderous intent and malice towards Strange Creaturess, but once it completely falls into madness, it will also cause my body to undergo a Strange Creatures transformation..."

Chu Xuan's heart suddenly stirred: "This is... the aggregate of lingering thoughts from past Purifiers affected by The Gloom!"

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and didn't dwell on it for now. While calling out to Gaga Chicken, his figure flashed, and he teleported to the outside world.

"You finally remembered me!" Gaga Chicken was extremely excited, dancing and gesturing as he followed by Chu Xuan's side.

At this moment, dark clouds had already gathered, and lightning flashed within them.

Chu Xuan took Gaga Chicken and went directly to the surface of the lake behind the residential area.

Within a few seconds, the first bolt of lightning began to descend.

Followed by the second and third...

With the addition of Gaga Chicken, the Lightning Tribulation encountered in the dream doubled directly. The final fourteen bolts of lightning were incredibly fierce.

Amidst the roaring, it felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

The lake water churned, and water vapor swirled.

Gaga Chicken's body was slightly charred, and he fell backward: "I can't take it anymore, this lightning is a bit too fierce, I need to take a nap..."

Chu Xuan had increased his stamina attribute by 15 points, and both his defense and health points had increased.

But he still lost nearly 10,000 health points.

This was the result of Chu Xuan picking up Gaga Chicken and using him as a tool for Undergoing Tribulation during the last few bolts of lightning.

Chu Xuan was once again unrecognizable, his body tattered, and he could only use the Fire of Nirvana to coalesce a broken body.

Fortunately, his remaining health points were above 30% of his base health points. As long as he maintained a stationary, resting state, he could slowly recover.

[Your Divine Ability "Thunderous Might" has been greatly enhanced. Current progress is Major Achievement (30%), with 70% progress remaining until Perfection.]

[You have obtained 10 points of real attribute exchange quota. Remaining: 29]

Having successfully passed the Lightning Tribulation, Chu Xuan finally had the time to carefully review his encounter in the Southwest Dark Place during the dream just now.

"That place is indeed not a place I should go to."

"When they discovered my identity as a Purifier, all the monsters went crazy, and from those cracks of The Gloom, Strange Creaturess continuously poured out."

"That giant humanoid bat... the vine piercing into the long river of blood... and that terrifying existence whose hands could pry open the blood river just by reaching out..."

"Besides that, more importantly, when I enter those large Dark Places, the consciousness within me can quickly take control of my body and, shortly after, fall into a murderous frenzy..."

Chu Xuan exhaled softly.

Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations beforehand and only left 1 minute of exploration time. Otherwise, if he had died inside, the dream-wake delay time would have increased again, which would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous.

Following that, Chu Xuan's heart suddenly stirred, and he checked his spirituality value, which had now actually reached 38,910 points.

Subtracting the 5,000 spirituality value used for the Slash, he had a net gain of over 30,000.

"In just that short one minute, I actually obtained so much spirituality value?" Chu Xuan was shocked and couldn't help but think of another way to make money.

At this moment, Phantom Demon's undisguised flattery sounded: "My great Dominator, your strength seems to have improved quite a bit again. Congratulations."

"In the future, you don't need to be so reserved. Rest assured, as long as you behave, I won't harm you." Chu Xuan grinned: "After all, we are the best of friends."

Phantom Demon respectfully said: "I feel honored."

Chu Xuan curled his lips.

At this time, the rest of the people in the base all rushed over, staring at everything in astonishment, asking one after another what had happened.

"It's nothing."

Chu waved his hand without much explanation and went directly outside the White Building Research Institute. Just like in the dream, there were already 335 people waiting to have the Specter inside them removed.

Considering that the World Mission was about to start and he couldn't wait for the next dream, Chu Xuan directly removed all the Specters from these people in reality.

His spirituality value increased by another 13,000+.

"Chu Xuan, are you injured?"

Han Feng walked over and smiled: "How about you eat some of my flesh? Even though your base attributes far exceed mine and your Rank is higher than mine, as long as you eat my flesh, I guarantee you will recover very quickly."

"His flesh is too disgusting, you should eat my mud balls instead. I have already accumulated a lot, you can eat more." Bai Yunfei winked.

"Keep them for yourselves." Chu Xuan's mouth twitched, he refused them all, and then returned to the confinement layer 50 meters underground.

"The spirituality value is sufficient, plus 863 soul crystals, next... first upgrade [Tracing Cause and Effect]!"

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed.

He had originally planned to upgrade [All-Cutting Slash] first to strengthen his trump card for attack power, but thinking about the upcoming Cangyun World Mission, the top priority was to kill the Revelation in the shortest possible time.

Then, upgrading [Tracing Cause and Effect] to Perfection was undoubtedly the top priority.

While thinking, Chu Xuan took out the remaining half of the Wisdom Candle.

Consuming 10 points of spirituality value, a faint halo spread out, shrouding Chu Xuan within it, and a sense of clarity flooded into his mind.

——System, upgrade [Tracing Cause and Effect] to Perfection for me!

[Accelerating Cultivation for you, increasing "Tracing Cause and Effect" progress...]

As the System prompt sounded, Chu Xuan's eyes became unfocused, and his consciousness drifted in his mind, as if wandering between heaven and earth.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but when he regained his senses, the Wisdom Candle had already burned out.

[You have received the boost from the Wisdom Candle. You have consumed 10,250 points of spirituality value and 242 soul crystals...]

[Your Divine Ability "Tracing Cause and Effect" has reached Perfection!]
