Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 683: Chapter 616 Appreciation Chapter 683: Chapter 616 Appreciation The acupoints throughout his body swallowed and breathed, and every single move could draw upon the power of the stars.

Even though the star power was filled with a sense of bizarreness and slickness, Tao Yu still gulped down every bit of it.

“This…”

Black flames enveloped his entire body, brute force surged within his flesh, and each movement contained overwhelming strength.

His Qi-Blood roiled, muscles twitching.

This time, the “Robust Foundation” combined with the continuous “Starry Sky” Deification had elevated the strength of his seldom-used physical body by a significant margin!

“Nice, it feels pretty good.”

Tao Yu casually threw a punch, and at the tip of his fist, a distorted ripple appeared, as if the compressed air had turned into a liquefied mist, trembling.

Boom~

A distorted void burst apart, from a mere punch of pure physical might.

“But the commotion I caused earlier was a bit much, time to leave.”@@novelbin@@

Looking around, the city ruins had been completely transformed into rubble.

The pitch-black charred ground emitted wisps of Ao smoke, combined with the ashen fog that seemed impossible to disperse, bringing about a sense of desolation and doom.

“It’s already the apocalypse, nothing seems out of place…”

The World Will’s influence was already weak amid the ashen fog, and Divination naturally caused interference—now, with one more direct stir into a mess…

After briefly determining the direction, he soared into the sky and bolted through the air!

…

Some time after Tao Yu left, a black streak of light suddenly sped forth, its owner’s expression turning ugly upon beholding the ruins of the city before him.

“Damn it!”

The extent of destruction here was sufficient to depict the intensity of the battle that took place.

A Catastrophe-Level battlefield!

“Such intense traces of fiery intent, it’s the Huang Family.”

In the shadowy figure’s red eyes, fury seemed to flare.

He then looked in a certain direction, his face showing a hint of wariness.

He scoffed coldly and swiftly shot off into the sky.

Almost immediately after he left, two fiery streaks of light arrived at the scene.

As the light faded, two elders dressed in white robes appeared, their expressions turning extremely grim as they surveyed the area.

“This isn’t our family’s ability; someone is deliberately impersonating us.

It’s a staged scene.”

“Hmph, the power’s temperature is high enough, but it’s tainted with darkness, definitely to cover up something.”

Their expressions were as grim as the bottom of a pot.

A significant battle had already cost their clan dearly, and they’d been laying low to recuperate.

Just as they had started to regain some Yuan Qi, three pillars of the Xing Family died under mysterious circumstances!

The sudden breaking of a soul tie left them feeling as though the sky had collapsed!

Catastrophe-Level deaths, including that of the current Clan Leader, a loss of face both publicly and privately!

One of the elders took out a Compass, its needle spinning continuously, his face somber.

“There’s severe interference, can’t figure it out.”

“Hmm?

There’s something.”

The other elder’s gaze flashed, and he quickly approached the epicenter of the explosion.

Diving down with his hand, he unearthed a chunk of iron that had melted and re-solidified.

Possibly due to the melting, the iron chunk had been reshaped, and upon re-solidification, a distinct fault line had appeared.

The other elder quickly came over and took out a bottle of blue reagent, starting to drop it onto the fault line.

The reagent bubbled with a blue radiance upon contact.

“Spatial fault!”

“A powerful spatial Ability erupted here at the core, but without leaking out.”

The two exchanged a look, then came to an answer.

It was the space created by the Duel of the Assassin’s League leader!

“When we were coming over, I felt a scrutinizing gaze, and it felt somewhat familiar.

Thinking about it now, it was indeed him!”

“Hmph, he never left, lurking in the shadows, wanting to see if we had any reinforcements?!”

“If it weren’t the two of us who came, he might still be looking to ambush!”

“Damn it!”

After straightening out their train of thought, the two immediately understood the ‘truth’.

Why?

Why would the Assassin’s League do this?

“They value their reputation heavily, but even reputation has a price.

If the price is right, nothing is impossible.”

“Could it be the Suns?”

“It’s unlikely.

It’s either the Xing Family or some external force targeting Starshine!”

An old man’s face contorted with malice.

The Xing Family’s attack years ago had nearly claimed his life.

He was dissatisfied with the current Family Head’s friendly actions towards the Xing Family.

But having become disheartened, he had no desire to get involved.

For the sake of the family as a whole, making different choices was not unacceptable.

He was willing to compromise for the family’s interests.

But now, even having made compromises, trouble had still arisen!

“Always said the Xing Family can’t be trusted, alas!”

…

Putting aside the situation on the battlefield, Tao Yu who had returned to the outskirts of the State Capital and was checking his other peripheral gains, once again noticed his communicator vibrating.

It vibrated twice, once for a special forces message and once from Teng Lianghong.

Through the Dream Spirit Contact with the special forces, he had received quite a bit of related information, and at a glance, could tell it was from the leader.

After pondering for a moment, Tao Yu chose not to use the special forces communicator—there was too much confusion in the information, and since they knew each other better, there was a chance of slipping up.

However, Teng Lianghong was somewhat distant from the leader.

After achieving Catastrophe Level, it was possible to get a bit closer, but there was no chance for a meeting.

Then Tao Yu picked up Teng Lianghong’s communicator and looked at the unknown contact displayed, connecting the call.

“Are you still alive?”

The Assassin’s League was a collective organization, without the bloodline and soul guidance restrictions of a family, so the other side could not directly determine life or death.

It was only because he had crushed the special forces’ warning sphere earlier that the other side had reacted.

“Is that…

the leader?”

Tao Yu responded with a feeble and hoarse voice.

Quickly, he received another confirmation.

“Still alive?”

This time, the voice carried the undertones of the Assassin’s League’s secret code.

“By sheer luck, I escaped through Elementalization, but the special forces…

ah…

I’m unable to provide support.”

Tao Yu put on the act of having fled without offering aid to the special forces.

But it was clear that the leader did not care about that.

“Being able to escape from such an ambush is fortunate enough.

You being alive is an unexpected joy.

Heal well; this matter won’t end here.”

“Yes…”

That was, he was back online again…

When Tao Yu returned to the State Capital, and after adopting an inconspicuous new appearance, he slowly made his way into the mission hall to check the public information.

Although he had many identity bracelets, most belonged to the deceased or to identities that couldn’t stand the light of day.

After formatting, they could serve merely as communicators, but they could not prove identity.

Tao Yu awkwardly realized that he could only glance at the public information on the big screens.

“I should’ve gone to the Thieves’ Guild…”

Tao Yu mumbled to himself.

Although the Thieves’ Guild certainly had more than one location in the State Capital, Tao Yu only knew of the one in Flowerbed Street within the Fourth Ring District, which was quite a distance away.

Since he was already here, he decided to take a look.

And what a sight to behold upon entering—the screen directly showed the ‘Assassin’s League’ openly condemning and calling for oppression against the Huang Family.

Luring them into a contract, then striking with an ambush that resulted in the death of a Catastrophe Level individual.

The Assassin’s League had previously been involved in Teng Lianghong’s attack on the Inspector, and their bases had been raided.

But unexpectedly, they were able to post such public information after paying money, which just goes to show that the State Capital had its own state of affairs…
