Chapter 683: Sequence Crystal Acquired, Dual Initiation into Primal and Later-Born Sequences

The pitch-black Tale force spread out in every direction in an instant, layering a new space on top of the existing one.

Wu Guan and several Evil King Building players were all swept into it!

Such mysterious spatial methods were far too rare. None of them had any means to counter it. They could only watch helplessly as the world shifted around them, their home turf turned upside down!

Whoosh~

A scorching hot wind blew through, and the entire world suddenly lit up.

There was no sun in the sky, no clouds either, yet it was bright everywhere. Scorched earth stretched toward the distant horizon, seemingly endless!

Wu Guan's expression changed drastically, and the other Evil King Building players' faces turned equally grim.

A disaster that came out of nowhere!

"Stay here forever." Xu Lang snapped his fingers.

Charred corpse Tales crawled out from the parched earth, red flames burning in their hollow eye sockets, like stove fires kindled with firewood.

There was no need for him to personally deal with these people. He could simply finish them off with Scarlet Herding Chains at the end.

These people were not weak, and Grave Pasture was about to gain new tombstones.

Worth mentioning, all Evil King Building players were within Xu Lang's hunting range, because they were truly high-quality prey!

The Mad King Building's owner wasn't really someone who just lay flat.

In war, victory was not the only trophy. The spoils seized along the way were equally critical!

In the future, perhaps Grave Pasture would truly bury players from tens of thousands of dormitory buildings!

...

【A-301 Seven Killings Monarch Sequence Crystal】

【Type: Sequence Object (Complete)】

【Initiation Condition: None】

【Introduction: Bloody Herd Master... do you truly intend to strip away everything I have?】

Inside Gluttony Purgatory, Xu Lang held a crimson Sequence Crystal in his hand. After deliberating for a moment, he decided not to fuse it with the two major Sequences.

After all, this was a Later-born Sequence, a replica crafted by Higher-Dimensional Beings. It had some gap compared to true Primal Sequences, and if there happened to be some special resonance, getting caught by a Safety Inspection would be bad.

"Fusion is possible, but only with other Later-born Sequences. I can't let it touch anything related to Primal Sequences."

With that thought, Xu Lang crushed the crystal with force, and the crimson power within flowed into his palm.

At the same time, a massive flood of murderous Knowledge surged into his mind!

...

The Starlight Galaxy of the Other Shore.

In the vacuum where the stars had yet to return to their positions, a crimson planet thumped and beat like the heart of a demon god, or like a burning newborn star.

Suddenly, this star split open, as if a demon had opened its eye!

The pupil's light shook heaven and earth, piercing through layers of space, shooting into a land of blood!

This land of blood was ravaged by war, seas of gore boiling over, heaven and earth transformed utterly, as if it were the day of final judgment!

A completely naked man stood at the center of this land.

His figure was tall and straight, streamlined muscles masculine and perfect, like a masterpiece crafted by God's own hands.

It was Xu Lang.

The pupil's light struck his forehead directly!

In that instant, Xu Lang's body burst into countless fragments, yet he did not die.

Threads of crimson light connected all the fragments, then slowly merged back together, reassembling his soul and flesh.

In this process, the Sequence information contained within the Seven Killings Monarch merged with him completely.

"Seven Killings!"

"The seventh star of the Dao Domain's Northern Dipper!"

"Solemn slaughter, annihilation, revolution, death's calamity. Seven Killings enters fate, Breaker of Armies descends upon the body, and the world falls into chaos!"

"I am no assassin, no general, no butcher, but the will of the battlefield itself. I am the walking Authority of slaughter!"

"No destruction, no creation!"

"I shall break through all forms to attain the Dao!"

...

Later-born Sequences were far less chaotic than Primal Sequences. They were very orderly. Although there were many terms Xu Lang could not understand, at least they would not harm him.

Of course, this was also related to him lying on the Nightmare Bed.

In the vision, he was shattered by the Seven Killings Monarch's power, but in reality, he was perfectly fine, lying on the Nightmare Bed, absorbing all the power of the Sequence Crystal.

It was also because he was lying on the Nightmare Bed that his initiation into the Seven Killings Monarch was exceptionally fast.

Ten minutes later, Xu Lang sat up. Strange war markings had appeared on both sides of his cheeks, like some kind of tribal totem.

The Seven Killings Monarch had four stages.

Slaughter Altar, World Slayer, Destiny-Breaking War Star, Seven Killings Monarch.

Xu Lang was currently at the second stage.

Wu Guan was merely a Slaughter Altar-level Sequence Holder. Under normal circumstances, even if he plundered all the Sequence power, he could only reach the level of Slaughter Altar.

"The Seven Killings Monarch's Sequence origin, that crimson star that appeared in the vision, seems to favor me especially. It granted extra power during initiation. Combined with the extremely high purity of my original Seven Killings Blood Qi, that's how I became a 'World Slayer.'"

Xu Lang wasn't particularly happy about this. Instead, he felt a faint sense of helplessness.

Like this, the Divine Seal of the Path of Asura, Mad King Building, and Dorm Survival Game would all get jealous.

Ever since he learned from the Black Market Merchant just how powerful his backing was, Xu Lang had become a staunch player faction supporter.

Born a man of Dorm Survival Game, dead a ghost of Dorm Survival Game.

The main reason was that without this identity as cover, he feared he'd be found by some time, space, or causality-type ability before he even left the door. Then it probably wouldn't be as simple as having his tendons ripped out and bones broken.

"This ability should have hit its ceiling for now." Xu Lang touched his cheek, and the war markings vanished immediately.

Currently, the Seven Killings Monarch Sequence provided him with six major abilities.

【Seven Killings Monarch】

【Sequence Level: A-301-Seven Killings Monarch-World Slayer】

【Sequence Ability 1 (True Seven Killings Blood Qi): Increases special attribute "True Seven Killings Blood Qi." True Seven Killings Blood Qi is extremely destructive to all units, including but not limited to living beings and worlds. Whenever a living being dies because of oneself, the quality of True Seven Killings Blood Qi improves】

【Sequence Ability 2 (World Slayer): A decline in life state causes all attributes to increase by a percentage, and dealing damage to living beings produces Blood Soul Essence, healing oneself】

【Sequence Ability 3 (Slaughter Altar): Slaughter, taking lives. Altar, the thing that bears. Oneself becomes a living sacrificial platform, receiving killing intent and releasing killing intent】

【Sequence Ability 4 (Killing Intent Deterrence): Negative effects of killing intent on enemies increase by 1000%】

【Sequence Ability 5 (Prisoner of Slaughter): All enemies conquered by killing intent cannot launch attacks against the World Slayer again】

【Sequence Ability 6 (Ten Slaughter Conquest Lord Armor): Blood Qi transforms into killing energy, killing energy transforms into armor. Armor attributes can stack with equipment attributes. Current attributes are as follows...】

【Dorm Building Comment: Ten thousand killing thoughts, forged into a single crown!】

The Seven Killings Monarch's mechanics weren't strong. What was strong were the numbers.

True Seven Killings Blood Qi was overbearing beyond compare. It had a suppression effect on almost all existing things. Even against higher-level beings, one could draw one's blade, relying on high-purity quality to dominate.

World Slayer, the longer the fight, the stronger one became.

Slaughter Altar, the more enemies hated oneself, the more they wanted to kill oneself, the stronger the killing intent the Slaughter Altar accumulated. On top of that, one's own killing intent could be stacked further.

Moreover, Killing Intent Deterrence would multiply the effect of killing intent tenfold.

The moment one appeared, the enemy was already on their knees!

Digging deeper, the Slaughter Altar actually had a hint of "steadying the sea" flavor to it. Killing did not attract karma.

Seven Killings governs revolution.

Killing people, that was a good thing!

No matter how much malice and killing intent the enemy had, he could bear it all, like a vessel capable of containing every extreme will of slaughter.

Among the six abilities, the one with the strongest mechanics might be "Prisoner of Slaughter."

It was just that this ability didn't seem very useful to Xu Lang.

Because he rarely took the conquest route.

Those who should be killed were all killed.

Those who survived under his blade, aside from the Gluttony Demon, there didn't seem to be a single one so far.
