"So beautiful..."
Under the night sky, Su Chenxiao sat by the window, gazing at the raging flames that tore through the darkness, transforming into a fire phoenix as sparks scattered through the air.
He was momentarily lost in thought.
The sound of rewards from the System echoed in his ears.
Su Chenxiao blinked slightly, a smile gracing his lips. "I didn't expect to trigger a hidden reward."
"Blazing Fire Divine Pearl?"
[Blazing Fire Divine Pearl (Gold)]
[Contains the power of the Southern Blazing Fire, ranked nineteenth among Heavenly Flames, known for its immense power that can incinerate all things.]
Hum.
A white light flashed, and a smooth, jade-like, crimson fire pearl floated before him.
As the Blazing Fire Divine Pearl appeared, a terrifying heat filled the room.
Su Chenxiao looked at its description with great interest.
He held the Blazing Fire Divine Pearl in his hand.
Feeling a warm energy emanating from his palm, he nodded slightly. "This is quite a good item."
The Five Elements Divine Artifacts were existences that were few and far between in the myriad realms. Obtaining even one could allow someone to defy fate and change their destiny, let alone the Southern Blazing Fire, ranked nineteenth among Heavenly Flames!
His elder sister, Su Yaohuang, possessed the Innate Mystic Phoenix Divine Body and only required a large amount of Heavenly Flames to strengthen her cultivation and ascend further.
However, this hidden reward...
As if thinking of something, Su Chenxiao spoke. "System, is the hidden reward triggered, the Blazing Fire Divine Pearl, related to my sister Su Yaohuang?"
The System's response was swift.
[The host is correct.]
[The special effect of the Destined Villain title: When obtaining rewards, there is a chance to trigger hidden rewards!]
[Hidden rewards are related to key figures!]
Su Chenxiao nodded slightly, realizing the truth. "No wonder..."
"So, in the future, when I deal with those Destined Protagonists, I might also obtain items related to them..."
He looked towards the System's reward space. Besides the Chaos Scripture and various elixirs, what Su Chenxiao was more concerned about now was the Death Soul Beast embryo in the gift package!
Death Soul Beast!
A bizarre creature that appeared from nowhere, its origins unknown! It was a product of the Dark Era, an era long extinct in the myriad realms. It was an extremely terrifying and bizarre era that many people did not wish to recall! During that time, the Heavenly Dao was obscured by a terrifying power that had never been perceived before. The cultivation methods of the beings in the myriad worlds were forcibly altered, and Inner Demons ran rampant. Almost one out of every five cultivators would descend into madness. Many never-before-seen creatures also appeared frequently, with the Death Soul Beast being a terrifying leader among them. Legend had it that it could forcibly devour the Divine Souls of living beings and permanently enslave the devoured Divine Souls. The most terrifying aspect was that the Death Soul Beast could attach itself to another person's Sea of Consciousness without them noticing! Even those with terrifying cultivation levels found it difficult to detect! Over time, people didn't even know how they were devoured by the Death Soul Beast! It wasn't until the end of the Dark Era that countless bizarre creatures, including the Death Soul Beast, suddenly disappeared from the myriad realms, leaving as if they had never existed. To think that the System's gift package reward now contained a Death Soul Beast embryo. Su Chenxiao's eyes flickered as he brought out the Death Soul Beast embryo. It was an egg sac, about the size of a palm, wrapped in a layer of gray film.
Within it was a creature shaped like an embryo, faceless and featureless.
It seemed to be sleeping, quietly awaiting its awakening.
"Is this the legendary Death Soul Beast..."
Looking at the object in his hand, Su Chenxiao murmured softly.
"It doesn't seem all that special."
He couldn't detect any aura from the embryo.
It was like a stone by the roadside, devoid of any energy fluctuations.
According to the System's introduction, Death Soul Beasts could devour Divine Souls and then feed their host.
"How do I hatch it?" Su Chenxiao asked.
[Master needs to split off a wisp of Divine Soul to attach to it and feed it with Essence Blood to awaken and recognize the Death Soul Beast as its master!]
"Divine Soul, huh..." Su Chenxiao paused slightly at the words.
Without hesitation, he severed a wisp of his Divine Soul from his Sea of Consciousness.
For cultivators, the Divine Soul was of utmost importance.
Even the slightest damage would cause pain beyond normal endurance.
But Su Chenxiao's expression was indifferent, as if he felt no pain.
He directly infused the wisp of Divine Soul into the Death Soul Beast embryo.
Next, he sliced his index finger, letting drops of blood fall onto the embryo.
Plop.
The blood seeped through the membrane and into the interior.
The Death Soul Beast embryo, which had no aura, slowly began to writhe after being nourished by the Essence Blood.
Until the embryo and the nutrients from the Essence Blood were completely absorbed by the Death Soul Beast.
A furry ball, lacking a physical body, appeared in Su Chenxiao's hand.
It was misty, without a nose or eyes, only a mouth full of sharp fangs.
The little creature was fast and seemed very fond of Su Chenxiao, floating in the air and bouncing around his face.
It occasionally let out squeaking sounds.
Looking at the bouncing white mist beside him.
Su Chenxiao felt as if he had established a connection with this little creature.
He could control the life and death of the Death Soul Beast through the connection to that wisp of Divine Soul.
It was hard to imagine that this white, furry ball was the Death Soul Beast that everyone in the new era feared.
"Is it you..."
Su Chenxiao tentatively reached out to touch the furball.
The Death Soul Beast immediately transformed into wisps of white mist, affectionately circling Su Chenxiao's fingertips.
Seeing this, Su Chenxiao grinned.
"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect the Death Soul Beast to look like this right after birth."
"From now on, I am your master."
Saying this, Su Chenxiao shook his head with a hint of regret.
"It's a pity that everyone in Qingcheng, along with their Divine Souls, were annihilated by my second sister's Divine Flame. Otherwise, I could have let you feast..."
As soon as the Death Soul Beast was born, it required Divine Souls for sustenance.
Just as Su Chenxiao was considering whether to go out and find some food for the little guy.
The wisp of mist circling his fingertip transformed back into the furball's shape.
It opened its mouth, full of sharp fangs, and began to gnaw at the air.
Making crunching sounds.
"Huh?" Su Chenxiao looked over, his pupils contracting slightly.
What is this?!
He saw that the space before him was being torn open by a thin, long slit!
The little creature was actually gnawing at the space of the Cangshi Realm!
It didn't even spare the void turbulence outside the void!
The little creature's body expanded at a visible rate, and in a short while, it was a whole size larger.
Finally, as if it had eaten its fill, it flew into Su Chenxiao's hand and fell asleep.
A searing light flashed in Su Chenxiao's eyes, and he was utterly astonished in his heart.
"I didn't expect... that Death Soul Beasts could actually gnaw through the space of the Cangshi Realm."
This was something never recorded before!
As a creature specially marked by the System, capable of being on the same tier as the supreme ancient scripture, the Chaos Scripture, it was naturally no ordinary thing!
Su Chenxiao vaguely felt that he might have struck it rich this time...
The ancient texts only contained fragments of information.
Perhaps after he returned, he could ask his father and mother for more information about Death Soul Beasts.
He returned the Death Soul Beast to the System Space.
Su Chenxiao was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.
Now, it was time to indulge in some shopping.
"System, open the store."
The next moment, a dazzling interface appeared before Su Chenxiao.
From Emperor Scriptures and divine abilities to divine weapons and sharp tools, even legendary beings could be purchased!
Nine Dragon Divine Coffin, Wushi Emperor Scripture, Taiyi Sword, Azure Sky Dragon Egg, Mystic Yellow Stone...
The System Store refreshed daily, with the highest category being Red Cosmic, followed by Gold Emperor-tier, Purple Saint-tier...
Depending on the tier, the required Villain Points varied greatly.
Su Chenxiao glanced at his current Villain Points.
.
These few Villain Points were like a drop in the ocean compared to the divine artifacts in the System Store.
A cursory glance revealed that he couldn't afford most of the items he fancied.
However, on the far right of the System Store.
A prize pool interface filled with glowing orbs caught Su Chenxiao's attention.
Myriad Realms Random Prize Pool.
1000 Villain Points/1 draw.
Items obtained are random, with a guaranteed Purple-tier on a ten-pull!
Red (0.1%) Gold (1.52%) Purple (6.4%) Blue (13.2%) Green (43.6%)
