437: A dark abyss that devours reason! A distorted environment!

[Buzz!]

[Warning! 1 point of your Rationality has been devoured by an unknown life governed by the rules!]

[Warning! 1 point of your Rationality has been devoured by an unknown life governed by the rules!]

[Warning! 1 point of your Rationality has been devoured by an unknown life governed by the rules!]

... "Hiss! What the heck! Where exactly is this place?"

Su Lie looked at the continuous warnings. He had already lost 60 points of Rationality in just one minute.

If he hadn't been constantly consuming rationality pills, he would have gone insane already!

Just then, his Exploration Hint Talent provided a notification.

[Exploration Hint: Behind a large tree 1 kilometer ahead of you, two members of the Angel Clan are hiding, Level 99 and Level 149, respectively! Their Malice towards you is extremely intense! Please evade them!]

[Exploration Hint: Beside a giant rock 2 kilometers to your left, a squad of Qingqiu Fox Demons is currently in Invisibility. They possess an item capable of temporarily locking onto your aura. Pay attention to remaining hidden!]

[Exploration Hint: In the area to your front-left, 3 kilometers away, a squad of Level 149 Abyssal Demons has appeared. They are the Reaping Squad from the Cross Star Black Market and possess an item that can temporarily lock onto your aura and see clearly through the dense fog of the Black Abyss.]

[Exploration Hint: 5 kilometers behind you, beneath the swamp, lies a secret cave dwelling, suspected to be ruins constructed by an Immortal Clan life form, with an 80% chance of containing treasure. Exploration method: Allow the swamp to consume you, search for a special vital energy mechanism beneath the swamp, and when that mechanism flashes, instantly move to the area where it appeared to enter the ruins.]

[Exploration Hint: This is the Black Abyss! An area where the rules are chaotic. You lose 1 point of Rationality Value every second, and 1 point of Purity Value every 10 minutes!]

[Exploration Hint: When your Rationality Value drops to 38 points, you will be invaded by the Black Abyss!]

[Exploration Hint: When your Purity Value drops to 38 points, you will be corrupted and transformed by the Black Abyss!]

... "What the heck! What is the Cross Star Black Market trying to pull?" Su Lie couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He did not head toward the Immortal Clan ruins mentioned by the Exploration Hint, but instead quietly teleported behind the large tree 1 kilometer directly ahead.

Just then, Prince Merlin of the Angel Clan looked at the pitch-black fog and whispered, "Chekoma! Where exactly do you think Liu Xiu is? The fog here is too dense! We can't see the surroundings at all!"

"Damn it! Those people from the Cross Star Black Market are truly despicable! This positioning jade talisman is ineffective! I don't know where Liu Xiu is, either. I only confirmed one thing when we entered: Liu Xiu is in the area 1 kilometer directly in front of us!"

Chekoma handed the jade talisman to Merlin and suggested calmly, "Master! How about I go take a look first?"

"Hmm! Go and check it out. I'll wait here for you! If you find Liu Xiu, first severely injure him, then bring him back here!"

Merlin nodded. Just as Chekoma was about to step out from behind the large tree where they were hiding, Merlin immediately warned him again: "Chekoma! Be careful! The Cross Star Black Market has handled many cases involving the killing of VIPs! Watch out for a trick!"

"In that case, I'll set up a secret sign. When we meet, you ask me..."

Just like that, the two Angels, the Old Servant and the young one, completed their authentication password under Su Lie's observation.

Only then did Chekoma quickly walk toward the direction he had sensed earlier.

Meanwhile, Merlin of the Angel Clan silently entered the Invisibility state.

Su Lie's eyelids twitched when he saw this: "What the heck! Is the Angel Clan targeting me? What do I have that they covet?"

"pan god bloodline?" He quickly considered this possibility.

Just as Su Lie was preparing to head toward the Qingqiu Demon Race to investigate the situation.

He suddenly stopped: "I can't come here for nothing! I need to create a little fun for these self-righteous guys today!"

Saying this, he pondered for a moment and decided to use the two Skills: Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus.

These were the innate Skills he had plundered from Malice Breath.

"Don't you want my treasure? That is greed!"

"Having desires is a wonderful thing!"

... Su Lie muttered silently.

He quickly used the two Skills to weave a thread of Malice and a thread of Mental Virus.

The Malice was the coveting of everything seen: they must plunder all resources from the life form before them, relentlessly, refusing to flee even if severely injured.

The Mental Virus was emotion and suggestion, constantly reminding them that their status was noble, their bloodline was noble, and all other life forms were mere ants.

Ants were unworthy of possessing treasures and must unconditionally offer up everything they had.

Otherwise, it was contempt for the noble race. They must die! Relentlessly!

And the noble bloodline possessed noble qualities.

Even if severely injured, they would not abandon their companions and flee alone.

No matter how strong the enemy was, they were confident that relying on their own sheer courage, they could achieve defeating the strong with weakness.

The noble bloodline also possessed the ability to disdain the use of schemes and tricks. They preferred to plunder openly and conquer everything by force.

In this manner, Su Lie released Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus in the 360-degree surrounding direction.

These two powers silently merged into the fog.

Soon. *Whoosh!* Merlin of the Angel Clan emerged from his hidden state. He proudly raised his head, looked at the dense fog ahead, and whispered, "That damned Chekoma! He almost made me bear the infamous reputation of being cowardly, sinister, and despicable!"

"I, Merlin, the Prince of the great Light God Kingdom, would never let an Old Servant do the plundering for what I desire! I demand a righteous battle!"

Saying this, he strode toward the direction Chekoma had gone.

Buzz! The next second, Su Lie instantly moved to the location of the Qingqiu Demon Race.

This group of demons had also just emerged from the Invisibility state.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Tushan Ronghua spoke proudly to her servants beside her: "Hmph! We Qingqiu Demon Race are a Supreme Demon Race! How could a mere Level 70 human Class Change, a Level 149 Angel Clan Old Servant, and a Level 99 Angel Clan Prince frighten me!"

"Lingyu! Xiaoyu! Take out the formation map and control this area for me! I want to openly kill them!" Tushan Ronghua said forcefully.

The two trusted servants nodded: "Yes, Master!"

Quickly, they took out a palm-sized round disk. As the disk activated.

Su Lie was astonished to find that the space in this area had condensed to the point where instant movement was impossible, and the fog was rapidly dissipating. The surrounding scenery gradually became clear.

Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at the black figure ahead and said, "Master! Look! That is Prince Merlin of the Angel Clan!"

"Go! Kill him first! Then go kill Liu Xiu!" Tushan Ronghua said confidently.

Lingyu quickly advised: "Master! What if the Reaping Squad from the Cross Star Black Market attacks us?"

"Hmph!" Tushan Ronghua coldly snorted, turned her head, and said to a burly Fox Clan warrior behind her: "Vulture! Those trash from the Reaping Squad are your responsibility!"

"Hehe! Thank you for your favor, Princess!" Vulture turned and headed toward the direction of the Reaping Squad.

Su Lie's eyebrows raised upon seeing this: "It seems Tushan Ronghua knew the location of the Reaping Squad long ago!"

At this moment, he noticed Xiaoyu was communicating with Lingyu via eye contact, and her finger was tapping on the formation disk.

Tushan Ronghua was also engaging in Mental Communication with the two of them at this time.

"That's not right! Since they know the location of the Reaping Squad, they naturally know the location of the Angel Clan. Then my location..."

Su Lie thought of a possibility, but also felt some doubt: "Why is the Angel Clan's jade token useless here, yet this fox can accurately know our location?"

"Could the person behind Tushan Ronghua be a council member in the Cross Star Black Market?"

This was the only possible explanation. He did not move, still standing in place. He was waiting for a result.

At the same time, he also activated the Distortion Field Talent.

Su Lie sensed a wondrous power. This was a feeling that made him extremely comfortable, as if this entire area had become his personal possession.

At the same time, the constant notification in Su Lie's vision about losing 1 point of Rationality Value completely vanished.

However, the resistance encountered by the Distortion Field as it expanded outward was enormous.

[Buzz!]

[The Black Abyss currently possesses a chaotic will. To seize an environment completely under your control from this chaotic will, you need to consume 10 times the Spirit Value!]

[Note: With your current Spirit Attribute Value, you can expand the field coverage area up to 5.07 million kilometers and maintain it for 1 second!]

[Note: Your current consumption for casting Distortion Field is 10,000 Spirit Attributes per second, controlling a range of 100 meters!]

[Note: The larger your control range, the exponentially greater the consumption of Spirit Attributes will be!]

... Su Lie's eyelids twitched after reading this: "Calculating it this way, I should be able to control an area of 5 kilometers, right!"

"Can I only control it for 16 minutes at most?" "No! I only need 10 minutes, that's enough!"

He made a decision in that instant.

In this manner, under the rapid consumption of his Spirit Value, he successfully distorted the field within a 5-kilometer radius in just 50 seconds, and, utilizing the dense fog of the Black Abyss, constructed thick fog walls at the edges.

Any life form that entered the fog would be returned to its original position.

And within this area, the Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus left behind by Su Lie could now be seen by him through the vision of a controller.

He discovered that the life forms affected by the two powers were all covered with a layer of gray and red light.

These two rays of light were spreading from the brains of Tushan Ronghua and the others toward their entire bodies.

It wasn't just the Fox Demons; the two members of the Angel Clan were the same. The Reaping Squad from the Cross Star Black Market was also in the same condition.

Furthermore, these two lights were also emanating from the space itself, but the glow was extremely faint, looking as if it might extinguish at any moment.

"Oh? I can also manipulate the virus to deepen its influence on the collective consciousness, making them more persistent and intense!"

Su Lie discovered an interesting technique through observation.

He also noticed that although the area controlled by the Distortion Field could be twisted and the environment changed according to his thoughts, thereby affecting the life forms within the environment.

But to truly control these life forms and turn them into dependents, he still needed to continuously release Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus.

Thinking of this, he chose to start with the weakest person beside Tushan Ronghua, Xiaoyu. She was a Level 80 demon.

Su Lie wove another instance of Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus, directing both powers at Xiaoyu simultaneously.

Soon, the gray and red light on Xiaoyu's body rapidly spread across her whole body. In less than 10 seconds.

Xiaoyu suddenly shuddered. She turned her head, glanced at Su Lie's location, then turned back to Tushan Ronghua: "Master! That guy disappeared!"

Obviously, she was lying through her teeth. This was to protect Su Lie. After all, she was the only formation master in the entire team!

Moreover, she had been completely contaminated and twisted by Su Lie's power, becoming his dependent.

"Hmm? The formation disk can't even locate him?" Tushan Ronghua was stunned. She turned her head, glanced at Su Lie's location, and whispered, "This is troublesome now! I didn't expect this guy to have such a powerful Invisibility Talent. We truly underestimated him!"

"However!" "It doesn't matter! As long as we get what Merlin has, this trip will be worth it!"

Saying this, she stopped lingering and strode toward Merlin's location...
