Chapter 478: Chapter 372: Refining the Netherworld Skull (4th Update)

Su Yu successfully evolved into a City Lord level "Seventh Stage Expert", and nearly a hundred of the fourth-order fighters in "Freedom Village" successfully broke through to become "Level Five Fighters". This was all due to the "Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew" brought back by Su Yu. Almost everyone worshipped Su Yu like a deity, and it could be said that Su Yu’s prestige in Freedom Village had reached a level at which they blindly admired him.

Although the strength of Freedom Village had dramatically increased, it was after all due to an external force. Necessary refinement was essential, and the desire to evolve from Level Five to Sixth-order fighters required undergoing terrifying training. Therefore, Su Yu agreed with Ada’s suggestions and began to devise a training plan.

Ada once said that due to the "Eye of Destruction", Black and White City’s summoned Dark Legion would sooner or later invade the earth. Further out was the trouble caused by the Netherworld Skull, and the great disaster that might occur in a little over a year... All of this required them to have enough strength.

At the same time, Su Yu, who had successfully evolved into a Seventh Stage Expert, also began researching the "Netherworld Skull".

To prevent the leakage of the Netherworld Skull’s aura, Ada enlarged herself and swallowed Su Yu and the Netherworld Skull.

Only upon entering Ada’s belly, did Su Yu realize its immense capacity. It made sense that back when she was in her fourth stage, she could swallow so many life ores and jade yellow crystals. Moreover, Ada was a Category 5 Lifeform, refining the Netherworld Skull inside her body wouldn’t harm her.

Following Ada’s directions, Su Yu sat cross-legged. With Ada’s help, his soul fused with Ada’s cast a projection onto the Netherworld Skull. He then continuously adjusted their soul vibrations, making his and Ada’s soul vibrations increasingly align with the vibrations of the Netherworld Skull.

This process alone, without Ada’s assistance, would be nearly impossible for Su Yu, but under Ada’s guidance, it became much more effective. Gradually, Su Yu, with his eyes closed, began to sense that the Netherworld Skull in his hands seemed to have changed, transforming into an energy body as hot as the sun.

This energy body radiated endless energy and light, as if he was holding a sun.

Then, following Ada’s instructions, he cradled the Netherworld Skull in his hands, released his Gasification Mysterious Power, gradually enveloping the Netherworld Skull forming an energy vortex. He then started refining on this sun-like energy body.

Using his Seventh Order special power to create an energy furnace, synchronizing his soul vibrations with the Netherworld Skull to resonate, Su Yu used the energy furnace to refine the Netherworld Skull. The energy separated from the energy clusters of the Netherworld Skull synced with his soul wavelength, and was absorbed into his body.

This was an unimaginably vast project. The difficulty of using his Seventh Order Special Power to create an energy furnace to refine and fuse a divine skull was evident. This was, after all, the so-called Immortal Divine Bones.

Without Ada’s assistance, which allowed the synchronization of their wavelengths, even a lifetime of refining would yield no results.

Even though their wavelengths were synced, Su Yu spent most of the night, his Gasification Mysterious Power depleted, before finally stopping the refining. He felt utterly exhausted, and the Netherworld Skull in his hands was not at all damaged. If there were any losses, it was no more than a drop of water in the sea, practically insignificant.

Su Yu, somewhat disheartened, left Ada’s body. Ada shrank back down and said, "Don’t be disheartened, Su Yu. While it may seem slow at the beginning, the speed will continuously increase. Don’t forget, your special power will only grow stronger, and so will the power of the energy furnace thing you create. Naturally, the speed of refining the skull will increase... moreover. The power obtained by refining the skull will enhance your powers... Following this cycle, you won’t need much time to completely refine this divine skull."

"However, due to your refinement, the seal I have placed on it with my blood, will need to be reapplied every few times, otherwise it will leak quickly." Ada gave a bitter smile as she said this, every time she applied the seal, it would consume a mouthful of her blood, a significant loss.

After hearing Ada’s words, Su Yu slightly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t be disheartened that easily. What I’m thinking about is where to keep the skull. It’s troublesome to keep it on me all this time, but... if I don’t keep it on me, there’s no absolutely safe place to keep it either."

Ada thought for a moment and said, "How about I swallow it? This way, we’ll save some energy, as we won’t have to apply the seal every few times. But I’ll have to get a little bigger, I’m afraid others might get suspicious."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Everyone will just think that you’re growing, they won’t be suspicious. After all, Category 5 Lifeforms are quite mysterious to us."

Ada nodded and swallowed the Netherworld skull back into her stomach. Sure enough, her belly bulged and her body became much fatter, no longer as petite as before.

Su Yu was reassured, but Ada frowned: "So ugly... I can’t stand being like this..." With a grunt, she spit it back out. Su Yu hadn’t expected Ada to be so vain. Speechless, he eventually found someone to specially make a waist belt pouch for her. The belt was wide and could be tied around the waist, with several extra animal hide bags at the sides and back. One bag held the skull, and others were hung with water bags to cover it up. The bag with the skull was round and bulging, which originally made it very suspicious, but when paired with the likewise bulging water bags, it didn’t attract as much attention.

Su Yu looked at his current setup and couldn’t help but shake his head, sighing, "If only there were treasures like the Energy Storage Bracelet that could store items. That would be much more convenient and I wouldn’t need to worry about such trouble. It’s easy to store other small things, but something like this skull is quite troublesome." He decided to keep it with him at all times to feel safe, despite being confident that no one would dare to search his room.

Ada looked at the bulging waist pouches around Su Yu’s waist and shook her head: "No good, you didn’t used to be like this. Suddenly having such pouches is a bit exaggerated and will make people suspicious."

After some thought, Ada suggested, "I think while you’re in Freedom Village, just keep it in the house. If you leave, put it in a bundle. This way, it won’t be eye-catching."

Su Yu thought this made sense, and he realized he didn’t need to worry about anyone daring to enter his house in Freedom Village.

So, he undid the exaggerated waist pouch, repacked the skull, and stuffed it into the bundle he usually carried when he went out. The remaining Water of the Netherworld was also put into the bundle.

In the following days, Su Yu would enter Ada’s body every night, using his special power to refine the Netherworld skull. During the day, he would organize the nearly one hundred successful evolutions and have Ada teleport them into the "Fire Elemental Space". They would then go further into the second layer, which was populated by level 5 creatures. Su Yu divided the hundred individuals into nine groups, each consisting of around ten people. He gave each person seven days worth of food and set their task: to survive in such harsh conditions for seven days.

He would come back to pick them up after seven days.

The mission was compulsory, but with ten people per group, and all being Level five warriors, they were quite confident.

As for Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, Su Yun, Ma Ziye and others who were forced to consume the Water of the Netherworld, they were taken directly to the third layer of the Fire Elemental World. In this layer, the creatures were at least Level 6, and their task was to survive here for seven days.

After explaining clearly, Su Yu left them and disappeared.

Soon, the first batch of Level 6 creatures was roaring and rushing towards them.

Su Yu seemingly left, but actually utilized the terrain to sneak back and observe them from the shadows. If anyone was in danger, he would secretly help. With his current abilities, he could easily assist while remaining unnoticed.

However, to his surprise, even though they had encountered many creatures in just two days, he had not needed to intervene. The potential these people displayed in the face of adversity exceeded his expectations.

Old Level five veterans like Zhang Zhongmou in the sixth-order realm, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Zhao Shichang, Murong Dingyuan and others all demonstrated remarkable resilience, managing to stay alive in this cruel world.

While Su Yu was taking them and about a hundred others for training in the Fire Elemental World, he left behind some Water of the Netherworld. He told Lei Rui and Yuan Niping to give it to returning people like Meng Ting and Meng Jun, of course, calling it "Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew".

In the midst of these seven days of training, Su Yu was initially attentive for the first two days. But the growth rate of Zhang Zhongmou and the others far exceeded his expectations, and he admittedly grew lazy in the following days, hiding in Ada’s body most of the time to refine the Netherworld skull.
