536: A single shot shatters the abyss of silence! Rewards and punishments come in tandem!

The King of the Night Elves, Saru, merely thinking briefly, had already exhausted nearly hundreds of trillions of his Spirit value.

Under the Time Stop rule.

He was already unable to move; even his thoughts were about to fall back into the Time Stop state.

Sensing this.

Saru trembled in utter horror: "How is this possible? The ancestral Rule Chapter should be enough to make me immune to this state, but why could I only break free for a few short seconds? Could this be the effect brought about by Innate Divine Power?"

"How is this possible?"

"How could a Primeval Deity descend upon a place like this?"

Amid Saru's horrified shout.

Crash!

The ancestral item he wore completely shattered.

Saru's body trembled, and he immediately suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma.

Immediately after, he was frozen again by the Time Stop rule.

At the same time.

In a large rift valley within Area No. 100 of the Silent Abyss.

A gigantic, mountain-like eye suddenly turned, and the land, which was in a Time Stop state, began to shake.

Crash!

Immediately after, a massive creature, about 10,000 kilometers long and with a wingspan of over one hundred thousand kilometers, drilled out from underground.

The surrounding environment disintegrated inch by inch under this power.

But they seemed to be frozen by space, and not a single speck of dust or broken stone was splashed up.

Everything was only cracking outwards, scattering.

But none scattered away.

This was a giant saber-toothed tiger possessing a pair of flame wings.

It looked in horror toward the end of the Silent Abyss.

It felt a world-destroying power there, along with a pressure that brought it despair.

This caused it to roar, trembling in extreme Fear: "No! Great existence! Please do not destroy this habitat! I am willing to submit to your command!"

The saber-toothed tiger's voice was vast and magnificent, but it did not transmit the sound very far.

This sound only traveled a few meters before completely dissipating.

However.

Su Lie still heard the saber-toothed tiger's voice, thanks to the enhancement effects brought by his firearms and his own Talent.

He couldn't help but laugh: "It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

As he spoke.

Su Lie took a step and arrived near Yue Ling. With one hand protecting Yue Ling, he used a finger on the other hand to pull the trigger of the dragon flame shotgun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous roars sounded.

The saber-toothed tiger, which was begging for mercy, trembled violently: "What the heck!"

It sensed the crisis of death.

As it turned to flee.

Boom!

Endless bullet rain covered the entire Silent Abyss.

Just one second later.

Crash!

The world before Su Lie shattered like a mirror.

He stood on a small fragment of the world, protecting Yue Ling.

Surrounding them were countless fragments, tiny, about the size of fingernails.

Under the effect of the Time Stop rule, these fragments all floated around Su Lie.

When Su Lie looked at the scene before him, his heart skipped a beat: "Holy crap! It shattered the entire Silent Abyss? That's way too fragile!"

When he looked up.

Su Lie discovered.

At the three-way junction 1 million kilometers away, three pitch-black fissures appeared.

These fissures were opening their mouths, seemingly trying to devour the fragments of the shattered Silent Abyss.

However.

These fragments were all in a Time Stop state and would not flow due to any force.

In the direction of the Silent Abyss exit, there was a circular gate of light.

The light there was also imprisoned by the power of Time Stop.

This made the gate resemble a mirror.

In the "mirror," Su Lie saw faces filled with extreme horror.

This feeling was very strange.

He also discovered.

In the shattered world, a large amount of bullet rain was still falling.

However.

Most of the bullet rain fell into the void.

And on a large fragment of the world far away.

A gigantic flame saber-toothed tiger let out an unwilling roar: "Why? Why? Why must you annihilate this place? I have already submitted to you! Why won't you leave me a chance to survive..."

Howl!

The saber-toothed tiger let out one final howl.

Under the endless bullet rain surrounding it, it completely turned into ashes.

Endless light spots flew out from its body.

These light spots merged into the void and fell into the storage compartments provided by Su Lie's Backpack Talent.

At this moment.

Yue Ling was awakened by the saber-toothed tiger's roar. She immediately saw the saber-toothed tiger: "Hiss! The ultimate overlord-level BOSS of the Silent Abyss... Sun-Devouring Fire Tiger?"

"It just died like that?"

Her trembling voice carried utter confusion: "This is a Fourth-Turn level deity with conceptual-level Talent!"

When Yue Ling's confused eyes finally saw the surrounding scenery clearly.

She began to tremble violently again, causing her Departed Soul to jump out and her eyes to bulge: "The... world... shattered!"

"Good girl! Don't be afraid!"

Su Lie's voice rang out beside her ear.

Yue Ling suddenly felt a strong sense of security, which made her let out a long sigh of relief.

She looked up at Su Lie, her voice hoarse: "How... did... you... do... that?"

Boom!

Su Lie pulled the trigger of the dragon flame again.

Only a deafening thunderous sound was heard.

When Yue Ling turned her head, she saw the boundless bullet rain smashing the endless space fragments that the Silent Abyss had broken into, turning them into even smaller fragments.

This made her tremble again: "Holy crap! How can your power be so strong? That's at least 1 zheng point of damage! (10,000 trillion trillion points)... Even with the blessing of the outer aspect... this..."

She was stunned again, losing the ability to think... [Buzz!]

At this moment, a prompt appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the mission to clear all Eerie parasitize areas within Territory No. 199 of the Silent Abyss!]

[You have successfully been promoted to the rank of Mist Baron!]

[Privileges of the Mist Baron rank:]

1. You will receive an area 1 million kilometers long and wide in the Mist Main World, which will serve as your ranked territory!

2. You will be qualified to appoint your Vassals as Mist Lords and allocate an area for them to manage as their Vassal territory.

3. After your Vassals are appointed as Mist Lords, they will gain the authority to recruit subjects and build cities.

4. You will unlock Survivor Trial missions for territory warfare, territory invasion and defense, and territory subjugation.

5. You will unlock the qualification for Mist territory expansion, but you must obtain corresponding missions and corresponding rank to gain this qualification.

6. You will gain the authority to form a ranked territory Legion and cultivate a ranked territory Legion.

7. You will activate the privileges for more blueprints, equipment, and items.

8. The Mist Baron rank can bring you the effect of doubling your attributes. This effect is only available once.

Note: After you obtain the Mist Baron rank, you must develop your territory and cultivate Vassals and Legions.

Note: You can apply for the trial for the Honorary Mist Baron rank. Upon completion, you can grow independently without needing to worry about the development of the ranked territory.

Note: When your ranked territory develops to a certain extent, and when your professional rank meets the requirements, you and your ranked territory will enter the battlefield to participate in the War of Ten Thousand Races.

Note: If your ranked territory is destroyed or seized, as long as your basic territory remains intact, you can endlessly raise troops to seize territory.

If your basic territory is also destroyed, you will lose the opportunity to advance to a Mist rank.

At that time, you can apply to become an Honorary Mist Baron to retain your current rank. You can also join other territories and become a Vassal of another Lord, becoming a member under another Lord's command, or you can remain an unranked individual who cannot advance further.

Note: The higher your rank, the more benefits it brings. The buildings you can construct, the items you can manufacture, the resources you can obtain, and so on, will increase, and your growth will become faster and faster.]

After this prompt passed.

Su Lie's personal panel automatically popped up.

He saw a personal panel whose attributes were not stacked with or enhanced by the outer aspect.

Su Lie's gaze fell on his rank.

His rank changed from Mist Lord to Mist Baron.

After that, Su Lie looked at his attributes again.

[Life: 122 Trillion 320 Million; Spirit: 122 Trillion 320 Million; Stamina: Infinite; Speed: 20 Trillion 200 Billion 320 Million;]

[Charm: 20 Trillion 200 Billion 320 Million; Luck: 220 Trillion 320 Million; Majesty: 20 Trillion 320 Million; Leadership: 20 Trillion 320 Million]

[Strength: 24 Trillion 320 Million; Intelligence: 22 Trillion 320 Million;]

[Thunder Affinity: 1 Quadrillion 2000 Trillion 22 Billion points; Thunder Control: 1 Quadrillion 2200 Trillion 20 Billion points (1,000x enhancement applied)]

[Time: 12; Time Affinity: 10; Time Control: 10]

"All attributes doubled! That's great!"

Su Lie curled his lips after seeing this.

At this moment.

He received 7 more Talent awakening prompts.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality Talent: Eerie!]

[Eerie: Red God-level Quality; Normal Talent. The aura and power you release can contaminate all life within a 100-kilometer radius centered on you, causing special mutations in life.]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality Rule Talent: Purity!]

[Purity: Red God-level Quality; Rule Talent;]

Enhancement: Your Purity value is permanently maintained at 100 points;

Rule Cleansing: Through this Talent, you gain the rule power to automatically cleanse yourself, keeping yourself pure at all times.

Note: This Talent can clear all dust, contamination, curses, continuous damage, marks, special auras you have acquired, and all other forces, substances, rules, and seals on your body.]

... [Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality Rule Talent: Temporal Image Capture!]

[Temporal Image Capture: Red God-level Quality; Rule Talent;]

When you enter the state of the River of Time, you can salvage and capture the materialized objects of time you see, bring them into your current space-time, and transform them into time items or materials.

Note: This Talent can only be awakened if you possess Time Talent.

Note: Temporal Image Capture carries certain risks; please exercise caution.

Note: The Temporal Image Capture Talent allows the use of special salvage tools.]

In this brief moment.

Su Lie's Talents increased from 92 to 99.

Besides Eerie, Purity, and Temporal Image Capture.

There were also God-tier Talent Painting, God-tier Talent Singer, God-tier Talent Mimicry, and God-tier Talent Elemental Decomposition.

"Hiss! Among these, the Purity Talent is very useful to me, and the Temporal Image Capture Talent can acquire resources in the River of Time. Both of these Talents are useful!"

Su Lie looked at the awakening prompts, his eyes flashing: "But the remaining 5, plus the 7 Talents awakened before... can be used as fusion and devouring materials!"

Just as he was thinking.

A reward prompt from the mist rule appeared before him again.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations to Second-Turn Professional Su Lie for setting the record for the fastest completion of the Baron Trial in history!]

[Reward: Achievement "Light-Speed Clearance"!]

[Light-Speed Clearance: You received this honor for breaking the historical record and becoming the fastest Survivor ever to complete the Baron rank trial. Your speed is increased by 2 times while in motion.]

[You received Achievement Rewards: 10 billion Mist Points, 1 Dungeon Space Projection Authority Token]

... In the blink of an eye, an authority token materialized in Su Lie's hand.

His Mist Points increased by 10 billion.

"Oh! It's an achievement. Although it only gives a 2x speed bonus and has a prerequisite, if used during an escape, it provides hope for survival!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

This was the third achievement he had acquired.

At once.

Su Lie looked at the authority token in his hand.

[Dungeon Space Projection Authority Token: red god-tier Rule Item;]

Upon use, your Dungeon space will gain unlimited projection authority.

Note: This authority allows the Dungeon space within your territory to be projected into any building. Lifeforms entering that building can challenge the Dungeon through the projected Dungeon Gate.

Note: Lifeforms entering the Dungeon space via projection to challenge the Dungeon cannot use this projection rule to enter other areas of your territory.

Note: If your Dungeon space is projected, the projection effect will disappear if the projected building is destroyed.

Note: The Dungeon Gate in its projected state is invincible, indestructible, unsealable, unstrippable, unplunderable, and unmanipulatable.]

Note: You can use this rule to project your Dungeon space into the cities of your ranked territory for your subjects or other lifeforms to challenge, and you can also project it into the Mist Shop on the Virtual Street.]

"So the Xuntian Clan used this kind of authority to project the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect Dungeon into the Xuntian Tower on the Virtual Street!"

After seeing this token, Su Lie also understood why the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect Dungeon could appear on the Virtual Street.

His eyes moved, and he immediately used the authority.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations! The Dungeon space of your territory has acquired the Dungeon Space Unlimited Projection Rule!]

... After completing the use of the authority token.

As Su Lie was thinking about how to handle the current situation of the Silent Abyss.

The mist rule delivered a punishment, along with a mandatory mission!

[Buzz!]

[Because your actions caused the shattering of the Silent Abyss, you are specially penalized 100 zheng Mist Points as punishment for destroying the Silent Abyss!]

[And your actions will be announced across the entire Mist World Channel and the entire Mist Survivors Guild!]

... [Buzz!]

[Congratulations! You have received the Mandatory Mission: Heal the Silent Abyss!]

[Mission: The Silent Abyss has shattered into countless fragments due to your excessive combat. In order to continue developing the Silent Abyss, the mist rule has specially issued a mandatory mission, requiring you to completely repair the Silent Abyss within 10 hours!]

[Mission Reward: You will receive the title of lord of the abyss of silence!]

[Mission Reward: You will receive a ranked territory!]

[Mission Failure Penalty: Deprivation of life, immediate execution!]

[Note: This mission is mandatory; you have no room for regret!]

[Note: To complete this mission, please use the Blessing All Beings Skill!]

[Note: After you heal the Silent Abyss, the Silent Abyss will be Strengthened by the mist rule. Please do not move during the Enhance process, or you will become lost in space-time.]

[Note: After the newborn Silent Abyss is healed, it will possess the power to withstand your full-strength continuous attacks. None of your attacks or actions will be able to shatter the Silent Abyss again!]
