Chapter 302: Exclusive Item - Killing Intent Engraving - Restriction
Bai Cangshu walked amidst the clouds and mist when he suddenly felt a loss of balance under his feet. The surrounding clouds and mist surged rapidly, and in a moment, they had completely dissipated.
When Bai Cangshu looked up, a colossal face had already appeared before him.
The Goddess's ruby-like eyes were now observing Bai Cangshu with interest. Only then did Bai Cangshu realize that it wasn't the clouds and mist surging, but rather the Goddess herself, who had directly lifted the hundreds of meters long White Jade Ladder.
The Goddess Residence was surrounded by white mist, making it impossible to discern changes in space. This was also the first time he had seen this Goddess display such power.
She wasn't merely floating and sleeping in the White Jade Plaza; at her current size, she must have exceeded a thousand meters.
The scene before Bai Cangshu changed. He was certain he hadn't blinked, yet in an instant, he was back in the White Jade Plaza. Both the White Jade Ladder and the clouds in the sky had vanished.
This change was extremely abrupt, as if watching television and suddenly switching channels.
He felt neither spatial changes nor any air currents; everything was altered in an instant.
Illusion?
Reality modification?
Or… time stop?!
The power displayed by this silver-haired, red-eyed Goddess at this moment completely exceeded Bai Cangshu's comprehension.
The Goddess also had no intention of explaining. She merely floated down from the sky, her toes touching the ground, her ribbons fluttering without wind.
"Do you know, storing so many singularity points without using them is a very dangerous act."
The Goddess's words, whether true or false, made Bai Cangshu, after witnessing Heaven's Will's innate abilities, also lean towards rapidly improving his various abilities.
"Goddess, is there any way to resolve my Killing Intent Ripple?"
The Goddess became languid upon hearing this question, once again leaning back and lying askew in the air.
information immediately appeared in the spatial panel.
[Do you wish to offer 1 b-class special point to the Goddess to completely remove the special energy, Killing Intent Ripple, from your body?]
Bai Cangshu naturally shook his head. He didn't want to waste time, so he said directly,
"What I want is to avoid completely losing my mind and to avoid the space's Ban while retaining Killing Intent Ripple Lv4."
Only then did the Goddess show some interest in speaking.
"This pursuit of extreme power is beyond your current Mental strength to control. Rather, it is precisely because of its uncontrolled nature that this power can be so incredibly strong."
"You are very greedy; you want this power beyond limits, yet you also want to avoid its negative effects."
Bai Cangshu was also aware of this fact. The Killing Intent Ripple he could currently control was probably at Lv3, which was likely tied to his Mental attribute. To control Lv4, his base Mental attribute would probably need to reach around 40 points.
At Bai Cangshu's rate of improvement, after entering the [Strong] Tier, if he pursued Mental attributes to the extreme, he could probably achieve it in about two mission worlds.
However, this method was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. At Bai Cangshu's killing speed, the Killing Intent Ripple would likely increase just as quickly, and he couldn't always be limited by this point.
"If it's you, there must be a way…"
Bai Cangshu said with insincere flattery. Perhaps the Goddess, considering the many singularity points, didn't mind. She merely raised her hand, and a black earring appeared in her palm, spinning continuously as it slowly descended.
Bai Cangshu's dynamic vision was excellent, and he saw clearly that the object was about five centimeters long, made of some kind of dark metal or special stone, with a large number of fine patterns on its surface.
What was most striking was that connected to the earring were black living creatures resembling tiny people, as if humans shrunk a hundredfold, with no faces, only mouthparts the size of their faces. They connected the earring by biting each other's bodies.
As the item descended, he also saw its information through the spatial panel.
[Killing Intent Engraving - Restriction]
[Quality: Uniquely Rare]
[Description: An engraving forged by a great existence by twisting a Killing Stone and Spirit Particle Absorption Device from the Bleach derivative world, possessing powerful abilities]
[Effect 1: When worn, Killing Intent Ripple will be continuously devoured, Killing Intent Ripple output level -1, negative effect level -2]
[Effect 2: The devoured Killing Intent Ripple will be stored within the engraving. When the engraving is removed, Killing Intent Ripple will be fully released, causing an increase in Killing Intent Ripple level]
[Effect 3: After the engraving is broken, Killing Intent Ripple output level +1, negative effect level +2]
"How about it? This is equipment tailored for you. Originally, this was a service only Title-level Reincarnators could enjoy…"
Bai Cangshu looked at the earring in his palm, which exuded a cool texture. This item was indeed an exclusive equipment.
All its entries targeted Killing Intent Ripple. Bai Cangshu guessed that the "great existence" in the description probably referred to this Goddess.
As for the "exclusive equipment" she mentioned, Bai Cangshu had also heard about it from Heaven's Will. This was a secret that Title-level Reincarnators only began to learn about. After a Title-level Reincarnator received an S-rank or higher evaluation, they could not only unlock hidden services from places like the Tier Management Office.
In the Goddess Residence, hidden services could also be unlocked.
Of course, Heaven's Will also said that she had heard from the former leader of [9527] that when a Reincarnator has enough singularity points, and they are high enough level, the Goddess would unlock this service early.
However, each Reincarnator could only obtain and wear one exclusive equipment. If a new one was acquired, the Goddess would destroy the previous one.
Bai Cangshu guessed that the prototype of this earring probably came from Kenpachi Zaraki's eye patch in the [Bleach (Reaper) derivative world], which also had the ability to absorb spiritual pressure and suppress one's own spiritual pressure.
However, Kenpachi Zaraki's eye patch was merely a "weight" he wore to limit his power and enjoy the thrill of battle. The earring provided by the Goddess, however, added some special attributes that made it difficult for Reincarnators like Bai Cangshu to give up.
Bai Cangshu looked up and met the Goddess's gaze; her ruby-like eyes seemed to reflect all of Bai Cangshu's inner thoughts.
Bai Cangshu did indeed want to suppress the negative effects of Killing Intent Ripple, but deep down, he also harbored a crazy idea of pushing Killing Intent Ripple to an even higher level.
This earring possessed the dangerous characteristic of erupting and increasing Killing Intent upon removal. Bai Cangshu detected the hidden effect within it; he could use this to rapidly increase his Killing Intent Ripple level and grow quickly.
But at the same time, this behavior would also make Bai Cangshu increasingly prone to losing control.
Finally, even if this exclusive engraving were to break, it could permanently enhance the output capability of Killing Intent Ripple. Although this item was only of [Uniquely Rare] quality, in some respects, because all its attributes were specifically for Killing Intent Ripple, for a Reincarnator specializing in Killing Intent Ripple, its value might be no less than that of a Worldly Treasure-level item.
[Do you wish to offer 3 b-class special points to the Goddess in exchange for the exclusive item, Killing Intent Engraving - Restriction?]
[You have lost 3 B-class special points]
[You have obtained the item, Killing Intent Engraving - Restriction]
The black earring finally fell into Bai Cangshu's hand. After Bai Cangshu picked it up, the black figures seemed to smell the aura of Killing Intent Ripple and began to stir restlessly.
Bai Cangshu placed the earring on his left earlobe, and the black figures immediately leaped up and bit onto Bai Cangshu's earlobe.
Blazing Flame instantly ignited, but with a flash of black light from the earring, Blazing Flame extinguished. Bai Cangshu felt a slight pain, and then a cool sensation spread from the earring.
The restless Killing Intent immediately subsided.
[Detection: Reincarnator EX051 is no longer affected by Killing Intent Ripple's Mental erosion. Killing Intent Ripple restriction lifted.]
The Goddess inhaled the three b-class special points into her mouth, her eyes narrowing, but she was still not satisfied.
Bai Cangshu also played along, continuing to "spend."
"I want to activate bloodline refinement."
[Do you wish to spend 1 b-class special point to perform bloodline refinement?]
"Yes."
The Goddess opened her mouth and inhaled again. As the singularity point entered her throat, her eyes swirled, and a terrifying high temperature once again appeared within Bai Cangshu's body.
His entire body's blood was instantly evaporated. He could even feel that the Yellow Springs in his conscious world began to surge at this moment, wanting to take over the flow of blood in his body.
Impurities were expelled little by little, and his bloodline was gradually approaching the state of ancient myths.
Bai Cangshu did not lose consciousness this time. He felt that withered, death-like state, as the Senluo Death Intent circulated throughout his body.
The next moment, a massive amount of life essence appeared, repairing Bai Cangshu's shriveled and ruptured cells one by one. Even the damage caused by the erosion of Killing Intent Ripple in his body was repaired.
[You have completed a refinement; the effect is excellent.]
[Killing Intent Body Damage Repaired. Current Physique: 31]
[You have gained Low-tier Instant Death Resistance. When facing an instant death judgment, you will possess a certain immunity (Priority: Low).]
