Chapter 171 -171 Four-Star Level Spell!_1

In St. Land’s “Tree Heart Layer” and the “High Tower Layer.”

The spiritual realm layers there were all controlled by the officials.

Ordinary Transcendents were not allowed to enter the spirit realm layers at will.

But in the Underground Area.

There were no such restrictions.

The Underground City originally belonged to the subterranean realm; the spirit realm’s contour and terrain should have conformed to the Underground City model.

However, the spirit realm that Tuck entered clearly had a very different contour and terrain from that of the Underground City.

From the outside, Tuck hadn’t felt anything strange about this underground spiritual layer.

But once inside, he discovered that what he saw and what he personally experienced were vastly different.

The darkness was like thick blood, engulfing Tuck’s vision, as though it wanted to completely drown him.

Dark tentacles were omnipresent.

While Tuck was surveying the area, several bizarre tentacles, containing a soul-dazing effect, struck his back from nowhere.

If he had been an ordinary first or second rank Transcendent, he probably would have been knocked unconscious by those strange dark tentacles.

Unfortunately for them, Tuck was wearing the Red Flame Dragon Scale Armor of the Ring State.

When the dark tentacles hit Tuck’s back.

There was a “hissing” noise.

Fierce flames instantly ignited the dark tentacles, and a painful howl echoed through the darkness.

After several repetitions, the darkness, exhibiting a certain ecological intelligence, realized that Tuck, who had rashly entered, was not an easy target, and thus, the dark power no longer dared to approach.

“This darkness has almost become sentient!”

Tuck couldn’t help but shake his head in secret.

Whether it was in Ramore or in the High Tower of St. Land.

When Tuck studied the Transcendent Ecology Chapter, the main sections all mentioned that the ecology itself had an exclusionary nature and the ecology itself was dangerous.

But Tuck had not encountered it before.

This time, however, it was an eye-opener.

He looked around, where flickers of light were scattered.

Some Transcendents who had entered the spirit realm layer were also holding up their lanterns or horse lamps.

The light dispelled the darkness, creating small protected areas of light.

These lights, like streams in the darkness, flowed towards a distant gate silhouette.

A slender tentacle from the shadow behind Tuck extended out, and Tuck hung the horse lamp on it, then flicked his finger.

The light from the Nightmare Fire Bomb bloomed faintly, pushing back the surrounding darkness.

The ground was pockmarked with blood puddles, large and small.

Drops of blood were also dripping from the eaves.

Stepping on them, the surface of the blood puddles felt as solid as the ground.

The ecology of the Blood Race Castle had already begun to affect and infiltrate the Underground Area.

As Tuck followed the crowd’s light forward.

He glanced up at the sky.

Even though it was just a brief glimpse, a sharp pain quickly spread.

The Dark Sun’s silhouette was clearly visible.

The power of darkness was reflecting off the Blood Race ecology on the ground.

St. Land’s Underground City spiritual layer was being eroded by the Dark Sun.

And that is why Cerion, St. Land, planned to build the Steam Lighthouse.

Just as only magic can defeat magic.

Only ecology can combat ecology.

When Tuck reached the shadowy outline of the door that was ten meters tall.

Only then did he notice the two ogres, nearly ten meters tall, squatting on either side of the Spirit Realm Layer Gate, both with levels over 50.

They were 50-level ogre leaders who had completed their transformation into a Transcendent State.

The sight of their highly magic-immune ogre skin made Tuck’s eyes twitch.

Taking on such big fellows was something Tuck might not even be able to handle.

The Transcendent World was filled with incredibly powerful Transcendent creatures.

Tuck always maintained a reverential attitude towards the mysterious Transcendent realm.

The person behind the scenes at the Star Track Market was said to be a Peak Sixth Rank Steam Spirit Realm Knight, with amazing strength.

That’s how he could firmly control the Underground City market.

Of course, a single individual would certainly find it difficult to manage such a large Underground Black Market alone.

The members of the Star Track Cult were the market’s behind-the-scenes administrators.

Using the black card Hilor gave him, Tuck easily passed through the “Spirit Realm Layer Gate.”

Just as Tuck had anticipated.

This place was a small-world gate reinforced by the seals of the underworld, although the reinforcement was simple.

It still greatly restricted Tuck’s [Phase Walking] Divine Power.

Sealing Power naturally countered all means of traversal!

The internal space was not very large, more like a social venue for evening auctions and parties.

Scanning briefly, Tuck estimated there were about sixty to seventy Transcendents who had entered.

This number was already quite substantial.

A regular Transcendent gathering of twenty or thirty people would have been quite impressive.

Each Transcendent who entered concealed their identity with various methods.

After all, this was the black market, not a regular commercial assembly.

The Transcendents took their seats one after another.

The entire gathering was silent.

It didn’t take long.

The curtain on the Ritual Altar suddenly came to life.

The outline of a large face swiftly emerged.

As the giant face began to speak, a voice swept over the whole audience.

“Every Transcendent on stage is required to pay 100 Magic Gold,”

“Whether you are selling your own items, or seeking the resources you need, both are acceptable.”

“If you want to have a private chat, you can enter the adjacent Small Hut of Secrets, with just a small amount of Magic Gold.”

“Should you encounter some uncertain treasures, we can help establish a fair contract, but that requires an additional fee.”

“The Star Track Market’s exchange meeting has always been fair and just; friends who have been here before are all aware of this.”

“Those in need can come up to the stage now.”

As the curtain returned to normal,

a red-haired Transcendent Swordsman wearing a mask and a plain grey-white coat, who seemed to be only Level 9, paid the 100 Magic Gold and stepped onto the Ritual Altar.

“I wish to purchase a Steam Sequence Core. I wonder if any of the distinguished guests present have such resources.”

The voice of the red-haired man wasn’t particularly loud, yet it was sufficient for everyone in the hall to hear.

At this moment, a hoarse voice, seemingly familiar with the Star Track exchange meeting, spoke up.

“For such a thing, you should inquire at the High Tower rather than here.”

“Moreover, even if it is available, you’ll need to initiate a slot exchange first, and then proceed to the auction, rather than simply requesting to purchase such resources.”

Slot exchange!

It is a professional term among Transcendent exchange meetings.

If someone is seeking certain top-tier resources that everyone wants,

and there happens to be someone selling such resources,

it definitely won’t be a case of ‘first come, first served.’

Instead, the Transcendent who owns those top-tier resources will take the stage and put the items up for auction.

Whoever has the money, gets the goods.

Such as the Steam Core, Leader-Level Materials, or even Lord-Level Materials.

These are often resources that everyone needs, and you definitely won’t be able to acquire them just by requesting.

A slot exchange auction might be possible.

The masked man clearly wasn’t content and asked twice more. After confirming that nobody had such resources, he walked down from the stage somewhat dejectedly.

Tuck glanced at the Transcendent Swordsman and then looked away.

The High Tower’s control over Steam Cores was still very strict.

There weren’t many Steam Cores that had made it out to the outside world.

Tuck didn’t have such a strong need for Steam Cores at the moment, so he wasn’t particularly eager to acquire one.

Compared to the Steam Core,

Tuck was more interested in the Leader-Level Material of the Light Sequence.

The rarity of this kind of material was no less than that of the Steam Core.

After the red-haired man, more Transcendents came up to the stage one after another, either to seek resources or to bring out valuable items for the many Transcendents to bid on.

This was Tuck’s first time attending a Transcendent gathering.

Naturally, he was keenly observing the situation around him,

and even occasionally participated in the bidding, which was mainly to be part of the process.

And indeed, many of the items brought out by these Transcendents were rather impressive treasures.

After about seven or eight Transcendents had gone,

an older Transcendent stepped onto the Ritual Altar at this time.

“A four-star Rune Magic Seed, slightly damaged.”

As the hoarse, muddled voice of the aged Transcendent rose,

suddenly, those in the audience, who hadn’t been very spirited, perked up at once and turned their attention to the stage.

A four-star Rune Magic Seed was quite rare indeed.

Even if it was a little damaged, as long as one could learn from it, it was a rare and powerful four-star Rune Magic, second only to the level of a “Forbidden Curse.”

After capturing everyone’s attention,

the elderly Transcendent began to describe slowly.

“A four-star Rune Magic Seed, ‘Rune·Soul Shadow Curtain’.”

“You need to have mastered either the Spirit Rune Mystery or the Shadow Rune Mysticism.”

“Just mastering any one of these allows you to cast it, though it will put considerable strain on the soul.”

“And this is exactly the drawback of this magic.”

“If you’ve grasped both the Shadow Rune Mysticism and the Spirit Rune Mystery, then congratulations, this witchcraft won’t have any drawbacks for you.”

“Of course, even without mastering one of these Mysteries, you can still forcibly channel it with a Shadow Ring Staff or a Soul Ring Staff.”

“Occasional and infrequent usage might be fine, but high-frequency and prolonged use could cause your spirit to warp and become uncontrollable, or even lead to soul fissures and damage to your Transcendent Ecology.”

“The moment you feel something abnormal, you should stop channeling.”

“Four-star magic isn’t the same as three-star magic, which can be borne by a Ring Staff.”

“But for four-star magic, you need a very robust foundation and a strong Transcendent Talent.”

From the description by the elderly Transcendent, those present could feel the power of this four-star Rune Witchcraft.

“Soul Shadow.”

“Through the ritual, you summon the souls of the dead; naturally… the souls of those recently deceased are better, and as for direct live sacrifices,”

the old Transcendent chuckled,

“they make for the most perfect ritual offerings.”

What the old Transcendent said didn’t prompt any particular discussion among those at the exchange meeting.

It was as if… such practices were quite common in the black market.

“With the souls of the deceased and the shadow of their deadly descent, you can create your own ‘Rune·Soul Shadow Curtain.’

“As for the wondrous applications of this ‘Rune·Soul Shadow Curtain,'”

“I think… those spellcasters with an interest in this four-star witchcraft wouldn’t want me to spell them out for you!”

With these words,

Tuck could sense that several individuals in the hall, who were also in a Shadow State or covered by Shadow Robes or Shadow Mists, seemed to have made all the necessary preparations.

“Starting bid at 10,000 Magic Gold,”

stated the elderly Transcendent briskly, setting the auction price.
