Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 268: Power: The Price



```

"Damn it, what a loss!"

Tao Yu shook the blood plasma off his palms and reverted from his demonization, his expression turning ugly as he looked at the pig corpse on the ground.

Damn it, killing someone from the Floating City means a loss no matter the outcome!

Glancing at his Yuan Force, he had spent nearly 100,000!

"I was too cautious, constantly keeping at full strength. There was no need to recover so urgently."

It was only after the fight that Tao Yu let out a sigh in post-battle reflection.

He had been worried that his opponent might use something lethal, so he kept infusing Yuan Force, thinking that if his head were to explode, he could still save himself through demonization.

But his relentless attacks never gave his opponent that chance.

"Floating City scum, their equipment can't be used and direct absorption barely recovers anything, ah... "

Tao Yu quickly turned around, intending to search the corpse without delay.

What if the other guy had something like a soul lamp or similar?

Everything had to be fast!

However, just as Tao Yu reached the edge of the pit he had created, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

He saw that the completely obliterated head of Han Ya began to twist in his clothes.

The originally white robe, now stained red with blood, exuded an inexplicable creepiness.

As it started to twist, it seemed as if it began to move with the body!

A supremely evil presence emerged, turning Tao Yu's complexion deathly pale!

"Are you really not dead?"

Tao Yu lunged towards the blood-soaked garment, infusing it with the Big Dipper's deadly intent and Fist Intention, seeking to suppress and eradicate it!

Yet the blood-soaked garment, which seemed to have been possessed by something, had no real offensive power. Although Tao Yu held it down, it hardly resisted.

Only Tao Yu, who was grinding away, could feel how resilient the thing was!

Fist Intention, now at the second stage of Deification, could interfere with the physical world!

Even steel would melt under the full force of the Big Dipper's deadly intent after grinding for so long.

But there wasn't the slightest damage on the surface of the garment, only something attached to the bloodied cloth was being worn away!

Tao Yu glanced at the time, made up his mind, and began to destructively absorb all the equipment on Han Ya's body that could absorb Yuan Force, not leaving a single piece behind.

Meanwhile, with one hand he continued to grind the garment, and with the other, he quickly dragged over the two punk motorcycles, also tossing the corpse of the black and white wild boar into the pit, and skillfully poured gasoline over it.

"Where did this Corpse Dissolving Liquid come from? No, in the future, I'll need to get something for supercession. Wait a minute..."

Tao Yu summoned Wino, which had turned into a storage container, from the shadows.

The bulky Wino pounced on the three corpses and sucked wildly before returning back to the shadows.

Only then did Tao Yu start the fire.

"I hope it's of some use..."

Tao Yu sighed, watching the blazing fire in front of him, and threw the two punk motorcycles into the fire pit as well.

It was not until then that the thing on the bloodied garment was completely wiped out by Tao Yu.

This was definitely not the spirit of Han Ya; even if he had high spiritual cultivation, it couldn't have been this resilient. It was something strange...

"Hmm?"

Tao Yu felt the gathering of Yuan Force towards the bloody garment in his hand, was it actually a Yuan Force creature?

"This pollution is too exaggerated."

Tao Yu continued towards the depths of the Gobi, just in case, while also feeling the almost tangible pollution on the bloodied garment.

However, this was nothing for Tao Yu; he simply absorbed it all directly.

He gained a whopping tens of thousands of Yuan Force.

But compared to the Yuan Force, the sudden appearance of a new skill nearly caused Tao Yu to lose his footing!

A light cluster, shaped like a balance scale, rose up, seeming to want to occupy the core; but upon reaching the edge of Divinity, it paused and then began revolving around it like a satellite. Discover hidden content at empire

Authority: [Cost]: Everything in the world has a clear price, it's just about what you're willing to pay.

Authority is a fragment of the Abyss's rules made manifest, and this fragment has been passed down through seventeen generations. Each user has added a blood curse, only the matching bloodline can use it without suffering extreme pollution.

Tao Yu momentarily felt enlightened.

```

This is Han Ya's means of defending against my attacks!

"Such a powerful ability, is this the foundation of the Floating City? However, this must be an extremely rare core ability for the people of the Floating City, even something that could be considered a family heirloom."

After death, it materializes and the ability can be regained, as long as it is not lost in the Abyss, it can be passed down from generation to generation!

And because of the accumulated bloodline curse, normally there would be no chance for an enemy to kill and loot it, and it's even very likely that it could be used for revenge.

Unfortunately, Tao Yu didn't care about things being tainted or not.

While continuing to maintain high speed, Tao Yu devoted most of his attention to his new ability.

Also, the influx of skill information made it clear what the previous user, Han Ya, had done.

The other party wanted 'immortality', but to obtain a physically undying body, a mental twist was paid as the price first.

No other aspects of the personality had changed, just that one thing.

Moreover, this was just the initial exchange requirement; when truly beginning the 'undying' process, one would start to overdraw Yuan Force, become strongly bound to it, and the consumption would keep increasing with each use, until it became unbearable!

Whether it was the shackles of lifespan or encountering accidents, both would trigger it.

Indeed, it could forcefully prolong life, a life-saving divine skill, but it could hardly be considered true immortality!

"I knew it, how could he withstand so many of my attacks? I would have been beaten to death myself."

Tao Yu finally understood the reason!

But the next moment, he was startled by the cost of Deification presented before him.

The first Deification cost, one hundred thousand!

"What the hell is this?"

The first Deification of the Nine Yin True Scripture was only five thousand, and one hundred thousand surpassed the cost of many skills' second Deification!

But after hesitating for a moment, Tao Yu directly completed the Deification of this extremely special ability.

There were no physical changes, nor any mental pleasure; there was no feedback at all.

The only difference was that the skill orb turned pale gold, reminding him that he had indeed completed Deification.

"An ability completely detached from the body and mind?"

Authority: Cost: You can change the exchange cost, but the cooldown will increase with each change. After a month, you can reset the cooldown interval.

This made Tao Yu's eyes light up.

The first generation's Authority could only anchor an exchange once at activation, but he could make continuous changes and attempts!

Although the increments would continue to increase, after waiting a month without use, they would revert back to the initial stage.

The first interval was just one second, the second time two seconds, the third time four seconds, and so on, but after a month it would return to a one-second change cooldown.

This even implied that aside from making a long-term anchoring, he might be able to make temporary adjustments even during a battle!

This was a significant enhancement over the practicality when Han Ya used it.

"If I also anchor Yuan Force, it would be too much of a loss. I can already use Yuan Force for recovery, and I can think more broadly. It's not necessary to transfer damage, enhancing recovery capability, and endurance are all entirely possible..."

Without a doubt, the Authority represented by this fragment of rules had limits, and Han Ya's death by his hand was the best proof.

However, how to use this limit and shape it into the most cost-effective thing is worth pondering over!

I have Mental Immunity, I have [One Proof Forever Proof], if I can find a way to shift some of the costs onto these, it could instantly create a qualitative change!

It may be difficult, but it's entirely possible to try.

I can take my time and try it step by step!

"However, after having killed someone from the Floating City, I'm not sure if the potential threat has been completely eliminated. And those two boar people, if they were sent to assassinate, does someone else know about it? And Panda..."

Tao Yu's eyes flickered, but in the end, he sighed.

"Still too kind-hearted..."

If they really traced it back, whether Panda knew or not would be irrelevant, there was no need to be so ruthless.

For now...

"I still have to seek help from the rich girl, I really lack experience in this area, sigh..."

Tao Yu was also somewhat helpless at this moment; he really had no clue about the Floating City's methods!

Authority suddenly emerged here, what if there are even more exaggerated ones? What if they find any clues?

Big thigh, save me...
