Chapter 231: Promotion to the Catastrophe Tier, The End of the Tower of Secrets! [57k]
While being teleported to the rear of the fleet via a beacon, the Lord of the Tower of Secrets had fantasized about many ways to kill Bai Fu.
For him, who always held grudges, if he truly had the chance to kill Bai Fu, this “evil-doing” bad woman, he would definitely not kill her outright at first. That would be too lenient for Bai Fu. He would at least imprison and torture her for forty-nine days, then slice her with a small knife 1024 times, and finally record the whole process on video to show the world.
However, he also realized that the current situation did not support such actions.
The people from the alliance were not puppets; they wouldn’t just sit by and watch as they captured Bai Fu and took her away.
Thus, his plan was to severely injure Bai Fu with lightning speed and then quickly initiate a full-stellar region live broadcast, decapitating Bai Fu in front of all the people of the Edge World.
He believed that the elegance of that one slash would surely leave an indelible impression on all viewers.
“The Death of the Holy Maiden”
What a beautiful piece of art it would be.
Using this masterpiece as the beginning of their tragic spear plan was simply perfect.
Yet, the Lord of the Tower of Secrets could never have imagined in his dreams of killing artistry that instead of screams of fear, he would receive applause.
“Welcome!”
Clap, clap clap…
The cheerful words like the song of a lark intertwined with crisp applause.
Bai Fu made a good start.
After her, everyone surrounding the members of the Tower of Secrets who arrived via the teleportation beacon smiled and clapped.
Fantastic.
Too damn fantastic!
Those hired hands might not have deeply appreciated the moment, but the people of civilizations like Star Network certainly felt differently.
They had waited for this moment for many years. Over these years, how many people had died under the attacks of the Tower of Secrets?
When they first learned from Manu and Mitchell that Bai Fu had uncovered the Tower of Secrets’ plan, they were somewhat skeptical. Until just moments ago, quite a few were still doubting whether Bai Fu had made a mistake, but now that the Lord of the Tower of Secrets and the Dark Domain Bug Empress had actually appeared, there was nothing left to say.
Applaud!
Applaud for Bai Fu, the omnipotent Saintess of the Dark Domain!
Applaud for the Lord of the Tower of Secrets who has come into their hands after fighting them for so many years!
“Welcome, warmly welcome.”
“Did you have a tiring journey? Since you’re here, please rest well.”
One would think they were welcoming distant guests.
Amidst the laughter and joy, the only thought in the mind of the Lord of the Tower of Secrets was:
My mentality is completely shattered!
He had no idea what happened, but he knew he was in deep trouble.
He carried an energy level detector with him, which wasn’t very precise, but a quick scan revealed that three individuals among those surrounding him were of the Tiān-Zāi Jié (Catastrophe Tier).
2v3, and the place where he was located was the opponent’s home field. Even though the strength of the Dark Domain Bug Empress far exceeded that of ordinary Tiān-Zāi Jié, there was still a significant probability that he would perish here today.
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets was both shocked and angry.
Just a second ago, he was immersed in the joy of obtaining the True Essence Pillar, but the next second, he fell into a death trap. Was the path from heaven to hell really so short?
Wait.
The situation hadn’t deteriorated to its worst yet.
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets suddenly focused his gaze on Bai Fu. The energy level detector showed that Bai Fu was still at S+ tier. If he could capture Bai Fu alive amidst the chaos and immediately start a live broadcast, would others dare to harm him in front of countless viewers without regard for Bai Fu’s safety?
He wasn’t entirely sure, but he thought the probability was high that they wouldn’t dare.
Or, even if they dared, with Bai Fu as a hostage in front of him, his chances of survival would increase significantly.
Thinking of this, the tension in the heart of the Lord of the Tower of Secrets dissipated by more than half.
Bai Fu, Bai Fu, your applause and mockery indeed struck at my soul, but you shouldn’t have stood so close to me. With your strength, you can slightly resist the attack of the Tiān-Zāi Jié, but I am not an ordinary Tiān-Zāi Jié.
Attack!
Without a word, the Lord of the Tower of Secrets launched an attack on Bai Fu.
Other members of the Tower of Secrets, as well as the Dark Domain Bug Empress, followed suit, but their target was not Bai Fu.
Boom!
The palm of the Lord of the Tower of Secrets seemed to be dyed with a layer of blue light, piercing through Bai Fu’s body like an electric snake.
Grab…
No, his hand seemingly penetrated Bai Fu’s body, but in reality, it didn’t hit anything!
Illusion?
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets sensed something was wrong, but there was no time to panic now because the group that was laughing and clapping just moments ago had already attacked.
Although they weren’t old acquaintances, they were old enemies. This fight was fought without any restraint. A perfectly fine starship, under the full-force attacks of several Tiān-Zāi Jié, disintegrated into pieces within seconds.
A fierce explosion swept in all directions, igniting a splendid flame in the Celestial Sea.
Fortunately, the other members of the ship had evacuated long ago, leaving only some players used as bait to be blown up on the spot. But players could resurrect after dying, so it wasn’t a big deal.
“Bai Fu, you can’t escape!”
Electric light flashed in the hands of the Lord of the Tower of Secrets.
He couldn’t distinguish between illusion and reality, but the energy level detector he carried could. Among all the people detected by the detector, the one closest to the Tiān-Zāi Jié level was Bai Fu!
“Help me stop them, I’ll go capture Bai Fu. Once we catch her, we can leave!”
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets roared in the communication channel of the Tower of Secrets.
The Dark Domain Bug Empress hesitated for a moment but still charged towards the three Tiān-Zāi Jié.
Acid surged around her body, forming a towering wall like a giant wave, creating space for the Lord of the Tower of Secrets.
The alliance immediately realized what the Lord of the Tower of Secrets was attempting.
“Never!”
They all attacked the acid wall together. The three Tiān-Zāi Jié led the charge, and the acid wall began to waver, obviously unable to hold for long. The situation was extremely urgent.
“One minute, no, give me half a minute, that’s enough!”
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets sneered coldly.
He stared at the display interface of the detector. A few seconds later, accompanied by two light beeps, his eyes locked onto an empty area of outer space.
It couldn’t be wrong; Bai Fu was hiding there!
“Bai Fu, you run…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he abruptly stopped.
Something was wrong!
He clearly saw the stable numbers on the detector begin to tremble again. They were rising, rapidly ascending at a speed beyond his imagination!
“This…”
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets suddenly thought of a possibility, and his body involuntarily started to tremble.
Seeing his state, the Dark Domain Bug Empress, who was battling three opponents, became anxious and shouted loudly.
“What are you standing there for?”
“I…”
The Lord of the Tower of Secrets wanted to say something, but his throat felt blocked as if by something.
…
In fact, the moment Bai Fu used the Shadow Double technique to evade the attack of the Lord of the Tower of Secrets, she pressed the upgrade button.
Subsequently, a series of prompts sounded.
[Awakening Successful]
[You have unlocked the new class [Apostle Walker], Current Level Lv1, Strength +1, Agility +2, Constitution +3, Inspiration +8, Attribute Points +7]
[You completed the first awakening, each point of Constitution converts Health Points +15, Spirit Energy +20]
[You gained the Tiān-Zāi Jié rank-up talent [Catastrophic Crown]]
[You comprehended the new skills [Advanced Spiritual Energy Fine Manipulation], [Prayer Card Fusion]]
[You comprehended the new skill [Dark Force Field]]
[Your exclusive talent [Twin Moons] evolved into [Exalted Moon]]
At this moment, Bai Fu discovered that every cell, every bit of energy, every part of her entire body was celebrating.
Celebrating the awakening!
Celebrating the sublimation of life!
It’s coming, it’s almost here!
Whoosh—
Terrifying power surged forth from the depths of Bai Fu’s body like waves.
When the total level of her main class rose from 110 to 111, she felt as if she had finally emerged from the turbulent undercurrents, reaching the vast sea surface. An extreme sense of comfort permeated her, making her feel that the world seemed more vivid.
“So this is the Tiān-Zāi Jié?”
After awakening, the conversion ratio of her Constitution to Health Points increased to 1:85, and the conversion ratio of Inspiration to Spirit Energy increased to 1:70. The base recovery speed of Health Points and Spirit Energy also improved significantly. Compared to before the awakening, it was a complete transformation.
But the changes brought by the awakening were not limited to these.
New skills, new talents, special rank-up bonuses… All combined together to form the true Tiān-Zāi Jié!
Bai Fu quickly reviewed the game prompts from earlier.
First was the Tiān-Zāi Jié rank-up bonus.
Tiān-Zāi Jié, Overlord Jié, Ultra-Class Jié, these three awakenings each brought various bonuses to attributes, resistances, etc.
Different people received different bonuses upon awakening, and Bai Fu obtained five bonuses from the [Catastrophic Crown] talent this time.
1. All attributes +10%;
2. All resistances +10%;
3. Physical damage reduction rate +5%;
4. All spiritual energy-based skill consumption -20%, effect +25%;
5. Prayer card effect +25% (the bonus effect will continue to improve with level advancement)
Each of these five bonuses was crucial, either making her tougher or enhancing her output, and increasing her endurance.
Since these bonuses were percentage-based, they would remain relevant as her levels increased in the future.
Next, Bai Fu reviewed the newly unlocked skills and the evolved exclusive talents.
【Advanced Spirit Energy Fine Manipulation】After upgrading to Lv10, the reduction in spirit energy consumption increased from 25% to 40% compared to the intermediate skill. Moreover, if she wished, the skill would no longer cause any harm to “allies,” making it an incredible technique.
【Prayer Card Fusion】has two effects.
The first is that two identical prayer cards can be fused to create a more powerful card of the same type. This skill isn’t restricted by the prayer card’s level cap. For example, Small Black Fu’s limit is Lv10, but after fusion, a Lv11 Super Small Black Fu card could be generated.
Of course, this synthesis cannot infinitely stack upward; two Lv11 Super Small Black Fus cannot be fused to create a Lv12 Super Small Black Fu 2.
The second effect allows for the fusion of True Essences summoned by prayer cards. This fusion doesn’t enhance the True Essence’s attributes but can restore its health. Broken + Broken = New Item. This effect is very useful in large-scale spiritual energy army combat.
【Dark Force Field】is an advanced version of 【Intermediate Force Field】, with a larger coverage area and higher damage bonuses. Most importantly, Bai Fu can now manipulate the “force” within the field at will.
Previously, she could only apply overall effects like compression, tearing, or repulsion through the field. Now, every part of the field is as controllable as her own hands, allowing her to apply compression to a target’s thumb while applying tearing to their index finger and another effect elsewhere.
Unfortunately, since her mastery of spirit energy isn’t yet deep enough, she can’t yet apply force without harming the target. Otherwise, this field could offer even more versatile applications.
【Exalted Moon】is an advanced talent based on 【Dual Moons】, which is the talent for summoning He Fu. After advancement, the summoned He Fu inherits 100% of Bai Fu’s base stats and can act independently away from Bai Fu. The resurrection time after death has been reduced from 12 hours to 6 hours, and the blessing bonus from He Fu has increased from +5 to all stats to +15 across the board.
Impressive. The upgraded He Fu is extremely powerful, especially the ability to act independently without distance restrictions, which is invaluable.
“This is the true Dual Moons: Exalted Moon·Bai Fu, Obscure Night Moon·He Fu!”
Bai Fu exclaimed.
Though the awakening process seemed long, it actually lasted only a few seconds since her race hadn’t changed.
She casually opened her stat panel.
【Health Points】: 82042/82042
【Spirit Energy】: 176164/176164
【Qi】: 12355/12355
【Stats】: Strength 308, Agility 729, Constitution 839, Intelligence 620, Spirit 817, Inspiration 2188
The increase in basic attributes wasn’t exaggerated, but the Health Points and Spirit Energy skyrocketed by nearly 50%.
This was awakening.
Extraordinary evolution!
Extraordinary enhancement!
“I am terrifyingly strong now!”
Bai Fu took a deep breath.
Her gaze fell on the Master of the Tower of Secrets who had locked onto her position via the energy detector.
Had she been at the Catastrophe Tier from the start, the Master of the Tower of Secrets would have fled immediately upon teleportation, offering a slight chance of escape. But now, it was too late. The allied fleet had begun encircling, the Dark Domain Bug Clan Queen was under attack, and her upgraded strength surpassed the Master of the Tower of Secrets entirely.
Now, she only needed to do one thing.
“Do you like the funeral I’ve prepared for you?”
A cold voice echoed.
The Master of the Tower of Secrets’ expression drastically changed.
Indeed, his intuition was correct—Bai Fu had truly ascended to the Catastrophe Tier!
But what good did this realization do now?
Unable to fight back, not at all.
The mentality of the Master of the Tower of Secrets had completely collapsed. Ignoring everyone he brought along, he turned to flee.
At this moment, a terrifying force field suddenly attacked from all sides, burning under the dark spiritual energy, causing his Health Points to plummet by percentage points.
“You can’t kill me, Bai Fu! You can’t kill me!”
Bai Fu ignored the Master of the Tower of Secrets’ words.
This was her first proper battle against a Catastrophe Tier opponent, so she didn’t rush into using intense dark burning attacks. Instead, she relied on the dark force field and a small-scale spiritual energy army she hastily conjured to suppress him continuously.
The Master of the Tower of Secrets’ base stats were similar to hers, but his various bonuses clearly fell short. Added to that, the Master was already in a state of panic. Even though Bai Fu hadn’t unleashed half her power, after continuous clashes, the Master of the Tower of Secrets was panting heavily, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Unreasonable.
Completely unreasonable.
Bai Fu should have just recently ascended to the Catastrophe Tier. Why was she so powerful right after ascending?
The two battled back and forth in the Celestial Sea. The Master of the Tower of Secrets repeatedly attempted to escape but was easily intercepted by Bai Fu each time.
The dark spiritual energy burned fiercely, creating a bizarre black flame Great Wall in the already dark Celestial Sea. The Master of the Tower of Secrets darted through the flames like someone dancing on a mountain of swords. No matter how spectacular his movements, his body continued to suffer.
Onlookers nearby were stunned.
When they saw the Master of the Tower of Secrets targeting Bai Fu, they thought to rush over for emergency assistance. But then they were told Bai Fu had already ascended to the Catastrophe Tier and was pressing down hard on the Master of the Tower of Secrets from the start?
What an absurd turn of events.
Even players who were confident in Bai Fu were astonished.
【What? Has Fu Fu’s strength already recovered to the Catastrophe Tier?】
【Too strong, worthy of being the former Obscure Night Overlord. She’s utterly dominating the Master of the Tower of Secrets!】
Jiujiao kept filming Bai Fu from different angles, thinking this might be the battle where Bai Fu truly rose to prominence in the Star Ocean. Capturing more videos and photos now would undoubtedly attract countless spectators later.
…
“You’re going to die, you’re going to die.”
After exhausting almost all his abilities and still failing to completely destroy even Bai Fu’s conjured spiritual energy army, the Master of the Tower of Secrets felt unprecedented despair.
He realized he couldn’t defeat Bai Fu, but even dying here today, he still had hope for revenge.
Because of the Head Butler, because of the True Essence Pillar in the Head Butler’s possession!
“Bai Fu, killing me won’t help. The Head Butler will avenge me!”
Bai Fu paid no heed: “You, the Dark Domain Bug Queen, and the Head Butler—I’ll deal with all of you.”
The Master of the Tower of Secrets sneered: “I admit you’re smart, and your strength is impressive, but it doesn’t matter. Before coming here, we’ve already seized the True Essence Pillar in the Blessed Sect’s possession. Didn’t you hear about the plan for the Gun of Sorrow from the mole? The Head Butler will complete the Gun of Sorrow plan with the seized True Essence Pillar. This gun will mercilessly pierce through your body!”
True Essence Pillar? Gun of Sorrow?
So your confidence stems from this!
Bai Fu understood instantly.
The problem is, that True Essence Pillar is a fake, and it was stolen from your Tower of Secrets. Do you know that?
Bai Fu was surprised but still spoke up: “Isn’t there a possibility that the True Essence Pillar you stole is a fake? Even if it’s real, your Head Butler won’t have the chance to complete the plan. After dealing with things here, I’ll immediately set out for the Tower of Secrets headquarters.”
The Master of the Tower of Secrets froze, sensing an ominous premonition: “Do you know the location of the headquarters?”
Bai Fu smiled and revealed the coordinates of one of the four star gates discovered by the players.
The Master of the Tower of Secrets turned pale, his pupils losing focus at that moment.
This coordinate is correct. Bai Fu really knows the location of the Tower of Secrets headquarters, so the True Essence Pillar is likely fake too?
At this moment, his heart died.
“It’s all over.”
The Tower of Secrets, with centuries of history, would end in his hands.
The Master of the Tower of Secrets stared intently at Bai Fu flying towards him: “Who are you? Where are you from?”
“I? I’m Bai Fu.”
The dark burning directly struck the Master of the Tower of Secrets’ head.
With his heart broken, the Master of the Tower of Secrets didn’t dodge at all.
As massive damage numbers floated up, the life of this great villain who caused countless massacres in the Initial Gateway Star Cluster came to an end.
Bai Fu didn’t linger near the corpse of the Master of the Tower of Secrets and quickly went to help the other three Catastrophe Tiers fight the Dark Domain Bug Queen.
Outnumbered four to one, the Dark Domain Bug Queen soon fell.
But she wasn’t dead.
“Clone?”
Bai Fu heard the game prompt.
Simultaneously, the words shouted by the dying clone of the Dark Domain Bug Queen reached her mind.
“You’ve thoroughly enraged me. From now on, the Dark Domain Bug Clan will never stop pursuing you until death!”
Rather amusing.
Bai Fu snorted coldly.
Didn’t this enmity begin when she sided with Xiphilis?
“If you dare, come on. Flinching once counts as my loss!”
Watching the consecutive deaths of the Master of the Tower of Secrets and the clone of the Dark Domain Bug Queen, the alliance members were at a loss for words.
Holy crap, Bai Fu is awesome!
She single-handedly killed the Master of the Tower of Secrets and then cooperated with them to take down the clone of the Dark Domain Bug Queen. Could a newly ascended Catastrophe Tier achieve this?
They looked at Bai Fu as if she were a deity, even the three other Catastrophe Tiers reacted similarly.
The only regret was…
“This time we didn’t find the headquarters of the Tower of Secrets, and the Head Butler remains uneliminated. There will likely be plenty of trouble ahead.” Manu shook his head upon hearing the news.
Bai Fu smiled and said, “I know where the headquarters of the Tower of Secrets is.”
What?
In an instant, all eyes focused on Bai Fu.
Why are you so outstanding?
