550: The rule to destroy the demon city and obtain the source of power! A squad that won't listen to advice!

Deep within the underground labyrinth in the core area of Sword Void.

Rahula Sword Master Xiao Wenshan suddenly stood up, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"Big Brother Xiao! What's wrong?"

By the campfire next to Xiao Wenshan, a handsome short-haired young man in a black training uniform looked at Xiao Wenshan and asked.

His name was Ying Yuanshi, a Level 150 Second-Turn Professional from the Demon Hall.

This mission was his Fourth-Turn Class Change trial mission.

Xiao Wenshan turned his head to look at Ying Yuanshi: "The Demon Fetus told me that an energy-supplying demon array in the outer perimeter has lost contact! The location is in the Demon Abyss City area!"

"I suspect that the Punishment Hall's rule-following lackeys already know our objective!"

He turned and sat back down by the campfire, picking up a wooden stick and drawing on the ground. As he drew, he asked: "How many Survivors from your Demon Hall came this time?"

"Based on the ratio, it should be 360 million! All of them are Second-Turn Professionals! This is the limit allowed by the rules!"

Ying Yuanshi gave a precise figure: "However! Many people must have died during this period! I truly don't know how many are left!"

Xiao Wenshan instructed Ying Yuanshi: "Through the Commander you have a direct line with, have him notify a Demon Hall squad to go to Demon Abyss City for investigation!"

"Additionally, arrange for a pawn, and have him, at all costs, even if it means exposing himself, transmit the message about guarding the Secret Realm Barrier Gate! Just transmit it freely!"

"Brother! Aren't the demon arrays all set up under various Demon Cities in the outer perimeter? Why should they guard the barrier gate?"

Ying Yuanshi frowned, saying with dissatisfaction: "Isn't this just needlessly sacrificing our Demon Hall undercover agents? Their lives should be used in the most critical positions!"

"I am precisely trying to determine if the management has already figured out the location of the demon arrays and deduced all the deployment areas of the demon arrays! You must know, the Reverse Demon Rebirth Divine Descent Abyss Vein Array used for the Demon Fetus's resurrection has already been used once!"

Xiao Wenshan said solemnly: "If they have already deduced our true objective, then the plan needs to change!"

"Damn it! Didn't you say that when Qingfeng became the Guild Master, no one in the Punishment Hall would know about this array? Why such a change?"

Ying Yuanshi felt like he had been tricked.

His gaze towards Xiao Wenshan became puzzled.

In his heart, he regretted it to the extreme: "This is really bad luck! If I had known it would be like this, I would have taken a different mission!"

"Better safe than sorry! After all, no one knows if Qingfeng would tell her biggest lackey, Li Fengxian, about this information!"

Xiao Wenshan rolled his eyes, complaining to Ying Yuanshi: "Don't blame me for being slow to react! Three days ago, I suggested to the Demon Hall to secretly get rid of Li Fengxian!"

"Your Hall Master was scared stiff by Qingfeng, saying he wouldn't dare touch Li Fengxian no matter what!"

"If you ask me!"

"If there's any mishap this time, the biggest pitfall was dug by your Hall Master!"

"What a pigheaded teammate! Wants to achieve great things, but has to be so indecisive!"

...On the other side.

After Su Lie received the mission.

He once again entered the Invisibility Rule state.

As he flew towards the location indicated on the minimap, he looked at his gains from this trip.

This time, in addition to the gains from the Demon Abyss City Lord's treasury and the Demon Abyss City's material warehouse.

By killing, he obtained a total of 190 quadrillion monster crystals of levels 5 to 14, 10 million god-tier basic resource treasure chests, 20 million experience points, and 191 nonillion 900 quintillion talent awakening scrolls.

He also obtained 144 demon abyss cannons, 100,000 ordinary cannons, 50,000 large catapults, 1 million giant bows, and 1 million giant crossbows by entering the material warehouse and treasury.

As well as countless related cannonballs, catapult stones, bow and crossbow arrows, and armor and weapons exclusive to the Demon Abyss City demons.

Additionally.

He also obtained 10 billion demon crystals, trillions of ordinary material resources, and food resources.

Coupled with the warehouse gains.

The resources Su Lie obtained from Demon Abyss City alone were enough to make him incredibly rich.

However.

99% of these resources he couldn't utilize and could only sell.

After he briefly checked his gains this time.

Su Lie looked at the demon abyss cannons stacked in his inventory slot.

He used his Identification Talent on the demon abyss cannon.

【demon abyss cannon: Red God-level Quality: Assembled Fusion Weapon;

Each shot consumes 100,000 demon crystals, dealing demon-attribute annihilation damage to enemies.

Base Damage: 500 trillion points of demon-attribute damage

Area Damage: Deals 300 trillion points of demon-attribute area damage to enemies within a 50-kilometer radius centered on the attack target.

Critical Hit Rate: 100%;

Critical Hit Damage: 100,000 times;

Fire Rate: 10 rounds per minute;

Range: 100,000 kilometers;

Durability: Infinite;

Special Effect - Double Contamination: Everything within the annihilation zone of the demon abyss cannon will be contaminated by the demon-attribute power carried by the demon abyss cannon's shells, causing targets within that area to mutate into demons.

Special Effect - Double Base Damage: The demon abyss cannon's base damage value is increased by 1000 times when attacking;

Special Effect - Beyond Visual Range Observation: Through this special effect, you can observe and lock onto all areas within the demon abyss cannon's range.

Special Effect - Precision: The demon abyss cannon has 100% accuracy.

Special Effect - Tracking: You can set a tracking mark on targets through beyond visual range observation, and demon abyss cannon shells will prioritize attacking enemies with tracking marks.

Rule - One Shot One Kill: The demon abyss cannon can accumulate energy to combine shells fired within one minute or over a longer period into a single super shell.

The damage and critical hit damage of this shell will be cumulatively stacked.

Note: The doubling brought by the Base Damage Double special effect is 1000 times the total value after the demon abyss cannon gains other Talents and Skill stacks.

Note: The contamination and power attributes brought by the Double Contamination special effect are fundamentally demon-attribute. If special power is used to replace demon crystals as firing energy, then the contamination effect and power attributes will be that replacement power.

Note: The Rule - One Shot One Kill has no time accumulation limit.

Note: If the Rule - One Shot One Kill is interrupted during energy accumulation, it will cause the demon abyss cannon to self-destruct.

Note: During the energy accumulation process for the Rule - One Shot One Kill, each successfully accumulated shell's energy serves as a cutoff point for firing.】

"Hiss! The damage of this demon abyss cannon is actually 50 million times that of the great general thunder dragon cannon! What kind of effect would it have if used to strike enemies through the Rule - One Shot One Kill?"

Su Lie's mouth curved upwards, and then he started to laugh.

In his opinion, the only drawback of this weapon was that it lacked the Treasure Refining special effect.

Even with his Artilleryman professional Skill applied.

He could only refine Soul Orbs by killing enemies.

This item was currently useless to him.

But for the territory, it was a great weapon for defending it.

Subsequently.

Su Lie took out the rule battle armor and rule divine artifact he had obtained inside the small celestial body.

Both of these pieces of equipment were god-tier rule-type equipment.

But they both had bloodline restrictions.

Only beings with the Abyss Demon Race bloodline or the Abyss Demon Race bloodline trait could use them.

Coincidentally, Su Lie possessed the demon king bloodline trait.

But he did not use the corresponding Skill of the Phoenix Sky Halberd.

"Although the battle armor is good, it's not what I like!"

Su Lie took a quick glance and then put the two pieces of equipment away.

He then took out the annihilation demon orb.

Under his Identification.

The annihilation demon orb's panel appeared in his line of sight.

【annihilation demon orb: Red God-level Quality; One-time Rule Annihilation-type Item.

Can be used timed or directly.

Once activated, it deals annihilation damage to a 100-kilometer radius area centered on the annihilation demon orb, annihilating everything within that range.

Base Damage: 1000 octillion points;

Critical Hit Rate: 100%;

Critical Hit Damage: 100 times;

Special Effect - Critical Hit Damage: The annihilation demon orb's critical hit damage is additionally increased by 1000 times.

Special Effect - Base Enhancement: The annihilation demon orb's base damage is additionally increased by 1000 times.

Special Effect - Undetectable Stealth: No one can find the trace of the annihilation demon orb after it is concealed.

Special Effect - Inductive Explosion: The annihilation demon orb gains an inductive explosion mode. After setting this mode for 5 minutes, if any life form arrives at the scene, the explosion effect will be automatically activated.

Special Effect - Scent Eradication: All scent-related information within the annihilation demon orb's explosion area is completely eradicated without a trace.

Rule - Double Annihilation: If there are a large number of explosives within the annihilation area, a double annihilation effect will be produced, with no limit to the doubling multiplier.

Note: The annihilation damage value of the Rule - Double Annihilation effect is the total value of the annihilation demon orb's maximum explosion damage, including critical hit damage.

Note: For every 10 octillion points of damage value from explosives, the annihilation effect increases by 1 time.】

"By stacking a large amount of explosive damage, I can stack annihilation damage! This rule is simply brilliant!"

After seeing this, the impulse in Su Lie's eyes was exceptionally strong.

In Demon Abyss City, he had obtained a large number of cannonballs, as well as throwable explosives with large-scale damage, and various grenade-type explosives.

If these resources were used together with the annihilation demon orb.

At the very least, it should increase the annihilation effect by 1 time!

Buzz!

Just then.

Su Lie arrived at the first location indicated by General Command.

In the mountains here, there was a Demon City covering a 50-kilometer radius.

The Demon City was enveloped by a black glowing shield.

Inside, mist billowed, obscuring the true scene within.

Through the automatic rifle's X-ray special effect, Su Lie discovered that.

Inside this city, there was a huge 5000-meter-tall stepped castle.

The outer wall of the castle was the city wall of the city.

It rose layer by layer, like a pyramid.

Inside the castle, a large number of demons patrolled and trained.

The defensive weapons of this city were a special type of metal giant crossbow.

The giant crossbow was about 50 meters long and 30 meters high.

It was entirely forged from metal, and its quiver could hold nearly a thousand special Rune crossbow bolts.

They were deployed on each level of the city.

Besides this.

Su Lie also saw a Deadly Poison laboratory in the underground workshop in the city.

The Refiner in this laboratory.

Was refining a large number of Deadly Poison throwing weapons, as well as curse-contaminating explosives.

It took Su Lie a full 5 minutes to thoroughly investigate the basic situation of the entire city.

Subsequently.

He directly entered the city with the help of the Invisibility Rule, found the city lord inside.

This city lord was level 139, a Lizard Demon Man.

Su Lie used the Time Stop Skill to immobilize the Demon Man, and then used memory reading to forcibly read the Lizard Demon Man's memories.

After he finished reading the memories.

The Lizard Demon Man had already become an idiot.

Su Lie used the dragon flame shotgun in the Time Stop area to kill the Lizard Demon Man and seized the Lizard Demon Man's storage equipment.

Subsequently.

He plundered the treasury, armory, and underground artisan workshops, and other areas based on the addresses in the Lizard Demon Man's memories.

Approximately 30 minutes later.

When Su Lie left this Demon City.

An enemy attack alarm had already sounded inside the Demon City.

The demon guards were in disarray due to the loss of their leader.

Su Lie then revealed himself in the air and pulled the trigger of the dragon flame shotgun at this Demon City.

After a barrage of bullets.

This Demon City was reduced to dust by the endless rain of bullets, turning into a giant sinkhole with a diameter of 50 kilometers.

"There really is a demon array?"

Soon, Su Lie discovered a demon array underground in the Demon City that was identical to the one he had seen in Demon Abyss City earlier.

This greatly excited Su Lie.

He quickly flew down.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the demon array.

At the same time.

Su Lie noticed seven or eight trial squads rapidly approaching him. Seeing this, Su Lie instructed the squads: "Hello everyone! I am from the General Command Special Operations Squad! I now order you to leave the Demon City area, as I have conquered it!"

"Warning! If you approach here, I will consider it a threat and kill you all as werewolves!"

After Su Lie issued the warning.

The various squads that arrived there all stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

A squad to Su Lie's left, after pausing for a few seconds, ran towards Su Lie's location without hesitation.

The other squads, upon receiving Su Lie's reminder, retreated and went elsewhere.

Su Lie merely glanced at the marker on the minimap, then placed his hand on the demon array.

"Xuanhuang Devour!"

Su Lie used the devouring effect of his Xuanhuang Talent.

Buzz!

In a blink of an eye.

Endless Mysterious Yellow Energy, with Su Lie at its center, spread out like a nimble life form, covering the entire grand array.

Approximately 10 seconds later.

This grand array was directly covered and devoured by the Mysterious Yellow Energy.

【Buzz!】

When the Mysterious Yellow Energy returned to Su Lie's body, Su Lie felt the vibration of his Xuanhuang Talent.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at his Xuanhuang Talent.

【Rule Source: Transforms designated elemental pools, energy pools, world powers, etc., into the source of Mysterious Yellow Energy, imbuing them with power related to your Xuanhuang Talent, thereby gaining the blessing of Xuanhuang Rules.

This source provides Mysterious Yellow Energy to you and your designated weapons, items, formations, etc.

You can also use your own Mysterious Yellow Energy as a source to charge various items.】

【Note: If the source designated by you for transformation is seized or devoured, the rules blessed by the Xuanhuang Talent on that source will instantly become ineffective, and the devourer will only obtain a mass of power.】

"Hmm? After devouring this demon energy-extracting array, the Xuanhuang Talent gained the Rule Source! So, does that mean the function of this array is an energy source?"

Su Lie's eyelids twitched at this, and his pupils involuntarily constricted: "Damn it! What kind of existence needs so many and such huge energy sources as an energy supply... Could something have gone wrong with this secret realm trip?"

Just as he was pondering.

A trace of peculiar energy fluctuation in the air outside the Demon City sinkhole made Su Lie raise an eyebrow.

He immediately entered the Invisibility Rule state...
