Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 779 Faith Crystallization
Su Xiaoke is an alchemy master who has a deep understanding of the nature of things. He is not as optimistic as Zhang Haoran. He reminded him solemnly: "I think you need to understand one thing. When the Book of Curse fully controls a new energy, it needs to go through three steps: absorption, fusion, and control.

Now it is only the initial absorption stage, and the Book of Curse can't hold on any longer.

The proof is that the cracks in the pages have not disappeared.

In the following fusion and control process, the power of death will be more closely integrated with the pages of the book, and the intensity of erosion will be higher, which will put the Book of Curse under tremendous pressure.

Now, by constantly strengthening the pages of the book, a balance has been barely achieved.

If the progress of the page upgrade cannot keep up with the erosion speed of the dead energy, not only will the pages it carries explode, but the entire cursed book may also shatter.

I have already told you the worst-case scenario, it is up to you whether you want to continue or not."

If only the page carrying the energy of death is broken, it's not a problem. You can spend money to ask Wanjie Building to help repair it.

If the entire cursed book explodes, it will be very difficult to recover, and all the negative energy accumulated in the past will disappear.

Zhang Haoran was a little confused. Is it so complicated for the Book of Curse to absorb negative energy?
"No way! This is my curse book. How could you know more about it than me? When I absorbed negative energy before, there weren't so many steps!

It was all over in a flash, and none of the situations you described happened at all. Are you kidding me?"

"Oh! It's terrible to be uneducated!"

Su Xiao was too lazy to explain to him in detail, and directly reminded him: "You'd better prepare first. If the curse book can't hold up, you should spend money to repair it."

Zhang Haoran nodded, increased the intensity of absorbing the dead energy, and also paid an advance payment to Wanjie Building.

His requirement was to provide a wave of appropriate reinforcement when the pages of the book were about to be unable to withstand the erosion of the power of death, as long as it could ensure that they would not collapse.

It mainly depends on the Cursed Book itself to bear the pressure.

As mentioned before, this is the essence of dead energy, which is mutually exclusive with the Book of Curse and has nothing to do with quantity.

There shouldn't be much change until the capacity of the Book of Curse is exceeded.

Then absorb a little more now to speed up the upgrade of the book pages.

He had just finished paying the prepayment when 100,000 value points were deducted from him. The deductions were still being made at a rate of once every two seconds, and the rate was showing a tendency to accelerate.

At this time, Su Xiao reminded again: "The time for the arrival of deathly silence is almost up! If you still want to continue, quickly find a way to extend the time."

Once the pages are no longer upgraded, this barely maintained balance will be broken, and the cursed book may explode in the next moment.

So of course he had to continue. Without these deadly powers to support the upgrade of the book pages, relying solely on the strengthening of the Wanjie Building would cost more value points.

Zhang Haoran prepaid another 10 million value points to extend the duration of the deathly silence.

This is different from the refresh skill. Now, every ten-second extension only requires 100,000 value points.

Su Xiao's judgment was correct. Under normal circumstances, the Book of Curse could not withstand the erosion of the power of death.

The reason why he has been able to hold on until now without collapsing is thanks to the massive amount of negative emotions he absorbed in the cat world before, which caused many pages to be upgraded multiple times, and the overall quality of the Book of Curse was also improved.

With the deep fusion of the pages and the dead energy, as if there is such a process, there are more and more cracks on the pages, and at the same time, the upgrade speed is getting faster and faster. Now the whole cursed book is flashing like a neon light.

Zhang Haoran's value points were also spent like water. Now, he could receive deduction notifications every moment.

He also added a setting that while strengthening the pages, the overall quality of the cursed book must also be improved.

It is better to strengthen it moderately, as long as the balance between the Cursed Book and its pages is maintained.

Such confrontations help to tap the potential of the Cursed Book.

As a dazzling light flashed on the Book of Curse, the cracks on the pages were quickly repaired. This should be the control stage that Su Xiao mentioned.

At this stage, there is no danger, but it will take a long time to completely control the dead energy.

After consulting Wanjie Building, he happily spent 100 million value points to speed up the process.

The main reason is that during the control process, the pages will no longer be upgraded automatically, and he will not get any benefits, so he is too lazy to waste time waiting.

Su Xiao looked at him helplessly. One million was worth a few points, so he just spent it to save some time.

Are you really in such a hurry? You will die if you wait one more day. Why do you have to spend this money?

Zhang Haoran was really that anxious. It had been more than ten minutes since the time he and Zhang Tao agreed to meet, so he was considered late.

But it’s a retreat! There are always unexpected situations, and it’s normal to have a few hours of error.

Zhang Haoran took a look at the upgraded Book of Curse and felt helpless. The Book of Curse, which was originally the size of a book, was now half a meter wide and one meter long, and could be used as a shield.

The page that contained the power of death became thicker than the cover. From a distance, it looked like two books stacked together.

He was afraid of being laughed at for holding such a strange thing, so he spent another 100 million value points to restore the Cursed Book to its original shape. To be honest, he had spent so many value points during this period that he had become a little numb.

What he was thinking now was, since he had money, he would just spend it, and when he ran out of money he would go and grab a few mineral veins.

Lidya Su shook his head and said with a smile: "You really have too much money to spend! You spent 100 million just to change your appearance. You really don't take money seriously!"

Zhang Haoran glanced at Su Xiao's left arm and retorted: "I remember the Black King's arm guard was supposed to be black, why is it red now?"

The meaning is very clear. If you think the color is not suitable, you can spend money to change it. What's wrong with me changing it to a shape that looks pleasing to the eye?
The embarrassment on Su Xiao's face flashed away, and he waved his hand and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? Get out of here quickly and don't disturb me from meditating."

Zhang Haoran really had something urgent to do, so he stopped talking nonsense with Su Xiao and quickly left the Wanjie Building.

A white light flashed by, and he replaced his fake body. He felt the tearing force from the surrounding original magnetic field, and looked at the Zhantian Palace below him, and found that the door was not open.

In other words, Zhang Tao has not yet come out of quarantine, so there is no need to rush.

According to his previous plan, he first bought a crystal of faith in the Wanjie Building, and then transformed some negative luck to replace the power of the world.

Using the power of death and silence in the cursed book as a template, he began to synthesize a weakened version of the power of death and silence. Zhang Haoran's experiment was successful, and a new page appeared in the cursed book, which contained the weakened version of the power of death and silence.

This time, there were no more surprises. The pages of the book easily accommodated the new power.

He carefully felt the newly emerged power and found that it was indeed very similar to the power of death, but the power was much different. It was a weakened version among weakened versions, not even one twentieth of the power of the original version. This was not very meaningful.

"Damn! Is the difference so huge? It seems that the limit gain produced by pure abyssal energy is very large!"

He carefully felt the weakened version of the power of death again and found that the power of faith was like a panacea. It not only integrated negative luck and death energy together, but also had a certain amplification and replication effect.

It is no wonder that the origin of death will continue to grow even without the addition of new deaths. This is all due to the replication effect of the power of faith.

Once the power of faith is integrated with other powers, that power will grow stronger as the power of faith increases.

This gave Zhang Haoran a new idea.

He no longer had to spend effort collecting negative energy. All he had to do was buy more crystals of faith to strengthen the weakened version of the power of death.

Anyway, the Book of Curses can transform negative energy.

The main reason is that the crystals of faith are sold very cheaply in the Wanjie Building.

Zhang Haoran now has to deal with the problem of the weakened version of the power of dead silence being insufficiently strong.

He began to combine the dead energy and negative luck in the form of a compound curse, and then integrated the power of faith into it. This time, he increased the investment in the power of faith, and replaced the share of the abyss energy with the power of faith.

This method is indeed feasible, and the effect of the weakened version of the power of death is one tenth of the original version.

This is almost enough. Before, with his strong physique, he would lose 30% of his energy and blood every second.

If this weakened version of the power of death is used on other warriors, the loss of energy and blood per second will not be 3%, but should be 5%.

Although the golden bodies of warriors in this world have strong defense, they do not have such high corrosion resistance as him.

And this is when the other party stays where he is and doesn't move.

Once the enemy tries to escape, the erosion damage it will have to bear will be as high as 30%. In the original version of the Power of Death, once the enemy unit moves, the energy erosion rate will increase by two to six times.

Because he replaced the world's power with negative luck, the enemy would always be in a state of bad luck, and the erosion speed would directly reach six times the maximum.

Moreover, this weakened version of the power of deathly silence is emitted from the Book of Curse, so there is no problem of cooling time. As long as he wants, he can keep the enemy in a state of being eroded. This is much more practical than Su Xiao's Deathly Silence.

The most important point is that the new version of the power of death is composed entirely of the negative energy in this world combined with the power of faith, and there will be no situation that cannot be solved.

At worst, I can use the Book of Curse to absorb back the spreading power of death and silence.

He also bought 100 faith crystals from the Wanjie Building. Each of these faith crystals contained the power of faith generated by a year of worship by 100 million devout believers.

This thing is sold very cheaply in the Wanjie Building. The price of a faith crystal is only 10,000 value points.

In fact, this is very normal. The upper limit of some worlds is level three or level four. The traversers there have long become the masters of the world, and almost all living beings are his devout believers.

The enormous power of faith generated by hundreds of billions of lives can condense tens of thousands of faith crystals a year. If they can all be sold at a price of 10,000 value points each, then they can earn hundreds of millions of value points a year, which is more profitable than mining.

Ten thousand points are worth one, which is already the lowest selling price, otherwise those people will definitely sell it cheaper.

After all, for them, this crystallization of faith comes too easily, and they will make a profit no matter how much it sells for.

Unfortunately, among today's time travelers, few follow the path of faith. The strength built up by external forces is too superficial. Those who become gods by relying on the power of faith are often the targets of challenges from others of higher levels.

Especially those traversers whose world limit is only level three or four, if they dare to rely on the power of faith to become gods, they may be killed by the natives of this world.

Zhang Haoran integrated the crystal of faith in his hand into the new page. A golden light flashed, and the page began to upgrade continuously. The weakened version of the dead energy in it increased rapidly...

"Squeak!"

The gate of Zhantian Palace slowly opened, a figure flashed by, and Zhang Tao appeared in the outside world. At this time, Lao Zhang's aura was much stronger, and it seemed that the effect of his sudden enlightenment was good.

Zhang Tao looked up and saw Zhang Haoran who was still stuffing the crystals of faith into the Book of Curse. He was about to ask him what he had gained from his retreat during this period.
Zhang Tao's expression suddenly froze, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn, how did this kid's strength improve so much?

After a day of enlightenment, I was confident that I could defeat the veteran Breaking the Six Heavenly Kings, but I sensed a sense of crisis from this kid.

His strength is improving too fast."

In fact, this is normal. Zhang Haoran's Immortal Sword Soul has been promoted to the fifth level, and the attack strength has also reached the fifth level. Even if the blood and energy burst is insufficient, it can still cause great damage to the Six Heavenly Kings.

Zhang Tao calmed himself down and ignored the opponent's strength. Normal people shouldn't compete with such a stupid person. Lao Zhang's attention was suddenly attracted by the crystal of faith in his hand.

When he saw this thing, he immediately felt a desire from the bottom of his heart.

"If I absorb this, I will definitely become stronger quickly!"

Zhang Tao stared at the crystal of faith in his hand and asked, "What is that thing in your hand? Why does it feel so powerful to me?"

Zhang Haoran casually raised the crystal of faith in his hand and said, "Oh, you mean this thing! This is a crystal of concentrated faith power, a very ordinary thing.

I just received a negative energy that was enhanced by the power of faith.

This crystal can be used to supplement

You also know that the energy in the cursed book can be converted into each other, so I don’t have to worry about not having enough negative energy anymore.”

As he spoke, he pressed another crystal of faith into the Book of Curse.

Zhang Tao felt distressed when he saw this, and cursed in his heart, "What a waste!"
