Unexpected things always happened in a mission world. Take now, for example. The strongest Defiled One, Dark Prophet, whom Su Xiao had thought he would have to fight to the death, was currently kneeling devoutly on the ground and offering up the "Dark Blood of Wisdom" he had possessed for over a thousand years.
Su Xiao took out the "Astrological Disc." As it activated, the third portion of Dark Blood was absorbed, causing the dark-gold disc to turn pitch-black. Star-like patterned nodes surfaced across it.

Only black ash remained on the carpet, faintly forming a mark two meters in diameter.
