Chapter 125 Fragments of Origin!
While collecting demon horns and magic crystals, Shen Mo opened "Demon Hunter's Handbook" to allocate skill points and enhance his abilities.
He first used 15 attribute points to strengthen his physique.
It consumed another 5 points of spirit attribute to enhance it.
[Physical Fitness: 85]
【Spirit: 19】
With his mental attribute reaching 19 points, Shen Mo had a vague feeling.
It's as if the soul is trapped in a membrane, and with just a little more force, it can be broken through and enter a new realm.
He currently has 19 points of mental enhancement remaining.
Breaking through that membrane was a piece of cake.
However, he is still on the battlefield.
Although Mu Li was protecting him, this was, after all, the depths of the Demon Realm, right next to the edge of the abyss, and anything could happen.
Perhaps some of those demons' companions are returning from their hunt.
Or perhaps some other entity has noticed the commotion and is eyeing the area.
In short, because the environment did not allow it, Shen Mo suppressed his desire to break through and instead continued to increase his strength.
He invested 8 points of his combat skill enhancement into the Slow spell.
[Slow Spell 0/10 (Mastery)]
He then invested another 10 skill points into archery [Archery LV40 (Expert)]
I only need 10 more points to fully master the Slow spell and reach expert level in archery.
At that time, Shen Mo's strength will reach a new level.
After collecting the demon horns and magic crystals, Shen Mo roughly estimated the price.
Those demon horns alone could bring Shen Mo four or five hundred points and five or six million Alliance Coins!
As for those magic crystals, their value is even greater...
After collecting their spoils, Shen Mo and Mu Li entered the cave together.
Wow!
The Holy Sun Radiance in Mu Li's hand released another beam of holy light, instantly illuminating the dark cavern.
The cave is narrow and only thirty or forty meters long.
Shen Mo and Mu Li did not see any passages or cracks; there should only be this one room in front of them.
The smell inside the cave was extremely unpleasant.
Some corpses were scattered on the ground, some were just skeletons, and some were still covered in blood.
Deep inside the cave, there is a pool of water, which is murky and cloudy.
The two searched the cave thoroughly, but found nothing except some magic crystals and magical beast materials.
"Where?"
Mu Li looked at Shen Mo and pointed to the pool.
Shen Mo glanced at the pool, his face full of resistance.
The pool was not only filthy and foul-smelling, but also filled with all sorts of unknown things.
He had no intention of going down to search.
Sensing Shen Mo's resistance, Mu Li calmly said, "Let me do it!"
He then unleashed the holy light of the sun to cast a sacred spell.
Word of Power: Serpent!
The holy light condensed into a snake more than a meter long.
However, as Mu Li continued to pour in holy power, the snake's body continued to expand, eventually stopping when it grew to more than four meters long.
The holy light receded, and the lifelike holy serpent, obeying Mu Li's will, burrowed into the pool.
A dozen minutes later, the holy serpent emerged from the pool with a pair of demon horns in its mouth.
Seeing this, Mu Li used a holy spell to clean the demon horns before picking them up and handing them to Shen Mo.
"This is?"
Shen Mo looked at the demon horn in his hand with some surprise.
These horns are different from normal demon horns.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and its entire surface is as clear and lustrous as black jade, with dark red patterns inside.
When it's turned over, the patterns, like blood vessels, seem to flow...
"Fragments of the Origin!"
Sensing Shen Mo's confusion, Mu Li explained, "What's stored inside should be a fragment of the origin of some abyssal plane."
Shen Mo was still somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
Although he is already a Silver-ranked Witcher, he has only been a Witcher for a short time and still knows too little about the Abyss.
Fragments of the Abyss Dimension?
This was beyond his comprehension.
Seeing this, Mu Li continued to explain: "Every abyssal plane has its own origin."
Possessing the origin of a plane grants the ability to exercise the laws of that plane, such as enslaving or commanding other demons.
Some of the origins of the abyss planes are completely controlled by the children of the abyss.
Some are scattered among various abyss rulers, lords, and even demon kings and demon gods!
The only way to close the Abyss Rift at present is to release the essence of the Abyss Plane layer by layer from bottom to top within a certain period of time.
'
Listening to Mu Li's explanation, Shen Mo realized the significance of these demon horns.
However, the pair of demon horns in his hands were quite heavy and very hard, not like they could be easily broken.
He then asked Mu Li, "How do I release the essence within?"
"I don't recommend doing that now," Mu Li cautioned before explaining, "It can be purified with holy power!"
"Can only holy power do this?"
"Only holy power can do that!"
Upon hearing Mu Li's affirmative answer, Shen Mo once again felt the special nature of the priests.
"No wonder clergy are so respected!"
This one point alone is enough to make the people of the Pure Land inseparable from the holy priests!
Shen Mo understood immediately. Looking at the demon horn in his hand, he asked again, "Why can't we release it now?"
Mu Li patiently explained, "Releasing the source has a time limit."
If it is released now, it won't be long before this source is snatched up by other holders, or a new holder is born, which will be meaningless for closing the abyss.
Furthermore, by using the fragments of origin, one can not only obtain information about the corresponding plane, but also confirm information about other holders, thus mitigating the negative impact of the plane's laws on one's own side....
Therefore, when closing the Abyss Plane.
All of these were released in a concentrated burst at the final moment of the evacuation after all the dimensional origins had been gathered.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo understood the importance of what he held.
If we bring this thing back to the Demon Hunter Association...
This is equivalent to finding a breakthrough to shut down the Abyss dimension.
Thinking of this, Shen Mo used his magic to try and put it into the moon.
As a result, not only did he fail, but his consciousness also entered a special "overlooking" perspective.
And a string of runes appeared before my eyes.
Shen Mo had never seen those runes before, but he understood their meaning.
【11452675】
"Is this the Abyss Sequence?" Shen Mo suddenly realized. No wonder Shi Lan said he would understand once he entered the Abyss... but he wondered which Abyss plane this was?
As Shen Mo pondered this, he turned his attention to what was below.
Within sight lies a world resembling a sand table.
This world is oval-shaped, lush and green, covered by enormous trees.
When Shenmo focuses on a particular point in the world, his perception is rapidly amplified...
However, five areas in the entire sandbox world were still covered by gray fog, just like the fog of war.
Those five places...
Shen Mo's heart stirred, and he had the idea to investigate.
The next moment, five figures appeared in the gray fog.
Bone Demon, Horned Demon, Eye Demon, Thorn Demon, Red Demon!
They're all sixth-tier demons!
Moreover, he is a demon leader who possesses primordial authority!
However, just as Shen Mo was examining the five demons, he suddenly felt a wave of malice wash over him.
The next moment, a monster shaped like an eyeball suddenly appeared in his perception!
