Chapter 482 The Secret of S-Rank Items
Two balls of seven-colored glazed fire, one facing forward and the other side, rushed towards Wu Chang from two directions. They could even burn away the rules of space in their path, leaving Wu Chang with no way to avoid them.

The painter had envisioned many peaceful ways to respond, but he never expected that the peaceful way to respond would be to give up resistance.

Seeing the two flames engulf Wu Chang, the painter's eyes showed disappointment. He thought to himself, "He Ping's words were loud and clear, but is this all he can do?"

He wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but An Rong's lightning-filled halberd was already upon him.

He had been to the Human Alliance and had met Lü Changgeng and Tao Xian. He believed he had some understanding of the level of Earth Immortals in the Human Alliance, so he initially did not take An Rong seriously.

But faced with An Rong's furious attack, he had to admit that this youngest Earth Immortal who could withstand his Yin Fiery Fire head-on was indeed something special.

Based on An Rong's emotions and his own keen perception of energy, he immediately concluded that he could not defend himself.

An Rong's attack was not intended to injure, but to save. His aim was to force An Rong to focus on defense so that he could take the opportunity to switch to offense and cut off An Rong's connection with the Seven-Colored Glazed Fire.

The Seven-Colored Glazed Fire is powerful, but once it becomes a fire without a source, no matter how powerful it is, it is destined not to last long. With the help of peace, it can be easily dealt with without much effort.

He may be at a disadvantage in his contest with An Rong, but he must win peace.

The painter's twenty-meter-tall body shrank to fifteen meters. He took out a paper doll, infused some of the recovered energy into the doll, and transformed it into a fifteen-meter-tall version of himself, actively facing An Rong's halberd.

The paper figure and the portion of energy he shared were enough to hold off An Rong for a while, until he and He Ping were determined to win.

Taking advantage of An Rong's attack being blocked, he turned his attention back to Wu Chang, who was engulfed in flames, and waited for Wu Chang to be unable to resist before withdrawing the flames.

The expectation in his eyes quickly turned into doubt, because although Peace was engulfed by the seven-colored glazed fire, he could not sense any emotion from Peace in the flames.

According to the intelligence he gathered, He Ping's will to peace was extraordinary, and his mental fortitude was extremely strong.

Previously, outside Xinwu City, the Yin Xu Fire he laid down could easily affect An Rong, but it could not affect He Ping, which also verified this intelligence.

The inability to feel a sense of peace at this moment must be due to the will to peace at work.

However, strong willpower alone is not enough. The Seven-Colored Glazed Fire he uses contains two types of real fire in addition to the illusory fire, so his attack is not just based on willpower.

But the doubt in the painter's eyes quickly turned into incomprehension, and finally into disbelief.

He saw Wu Chang stepping on the seven-colored glazed fire and easily walking out of the sea of ​​fire. Not only was his body unharmed, but even his clothes were intact.

The seven-colored glazed fire used by the painter, with the Lianzhen Immortal Fate as the medium, combines immortal techniques, demonic energy, and the player's energy into one, making it undeniably powerful.

Even a low-ranking god would break out in a cold sweat upon seeing this attack. An Rong, who possessed the great fortune of a chosen one of the plane and the strength of an earth immortal, even felt that he might die when facing the Seven-Colored Glazed Fire.

The Seven-Colored Glazed Fire is very strong, but not strong enough to surpass the item rules of the Abyss Game.

He didn't even need to be blessed with good luck; the mere 50% probability of "double good luck" was enough to block the painter's seven-colored glazed fire.

He said slowly:
"It's my turn next."

After Wu Chang finished speaking, his body shimmered with starlight, and he crashed into the painter like a comet.

The comet was extremely fast; without using spatial magic, it arrived in front of the painter in an instant.

Faced with a peaceful advance, the painter had only two choices: retreat or fight back.

He cannot back down.

Faced with his attack, He Ping did not retreat. If he retreated now that He Ping had launched an attack, he would be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

At the same time, his retreat confirms that Anrong, having confirmed that peace is not in danger, will definitely launch a full-scale attack.

If he gets caught in the crossfire, even if he manages to escape, he will be left looking disheveled and undignified.

He didn't like that style of fighting.

Therefore, he chose to fight back.

The paper figures he used earlier could hold An Rong back for a moment, and he would use that time to settle the score with Wu Chang.

He produced a paintbrush, and when the tip touched the flames on his body, it instantly transformed into seven colors.

With a flick of his brush, he sketched a phoenix in the air. Instead of crashing into the comet that was hurtling towards him, the phoenix charged into the sea of ​​fire that had previously swallowed peace.

Peace can be kept secret from others, but not from him.

The figure that transformed into a comet appeared to be in harmony with the aura of peace, but in reality, it had no emotions and was not a true life form at all, but an empty shell created using skills.

Although he couldn't pinpoint Peace's location, the burning, seven-colored glazed fire told him that something existed within the fire, but he couldn't harm it.

Using such petty tricks to deal with him shows he's been underestimated by Peace.

If he doesn't respond, then peace will be in an awkward situation.

The comet hurtled toward the painter, and the phoenix charged toward the sea of ​​fire.

The two passed each other without interfering with each other.

Just as they were about to hit their targets, Wu Chang activated the Star Escape effect of the Heavenly Gang Escape Technique.

"Star Escape: Creates a starlight phantom with the aura of the original body and a 15% damage effect. When Star Escape is activated, the position of the phantom can be swapped. Each phantom can be swapped once."

Wu Chang switched between his physical form and the comet, instantly arriving five meters in front of the painter.

The concealment effect on Wu Chang had not yet disappeared. In the painter's eyes, the comet that flew in front of him suddenly disappeared, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew something was wrong.

Before he could react, a thunderous shout rang out from the sky.

"Man!"

Before the painter could react, he felt a severe blow to his face and was thrown backward into the air.

The moment he fell to the ground, he immediately got up, but a barrage of negative effects, including blindness, dizziness, weakness, and poisoning, overwhelmed him.

He used his ability to remove abnormal statuses, but there were too many abnormal statuses. Even after he removed four, he still had several negative statuses on him.

Fortunately, the most dangerous effects of blindness, dizziness, and weakness were removed, so they didn't have a significant impact on the battle.

He shook his head, covered his bleeding nose with his hand, and looked at Ping He, who was standing where he had been standing, slowly withdrawing his elbow. He gritted his teeth and said:
"This is the second time, and it's the same trick again."

A sneer rang out beside him, "What are you looking at?"

The painter shuddered and looked in the direction the sound came from, only to see an ever-growing elbow.

"Man!"

Another elbow strike.

The second Mamba elbow strike sent the painter, who hadn't fully stood up, flying sideways.

The painter tumbled and shrank as he went, and when he stopped, he had already reverted to his demon king form and returned to human form.

The first strike of the Heavenly Gang Escape Technique does not reveal the enemy's true form; instead, it creates a starlight phantom at a designated location. If the enemy is misled by the phantom, the second strike will deal an additional 20% damage.

Therefore, the second elbow that the painter ate was more painful than the first.

The scattered, multicolored flames dissipated as the painter deactivated his transformation. Wu Chang used spatial magic to teleport to the painter's side, showing him his elbow and saying:
"The third time will work just as well, and there will be a fourth time soon."

The distance between the two was enough for Wu Chang to unleash his Mamba Iron Elbow, which, once activated, would be guaranteed to hit.

“Bite your teeth!”

Wu Chang raised his elbow, about to bring it down, when the painter suddenly shouted:

"and many more!"

"Man!"

With a thud, the elbow struck, and the painter's head snapped back, blood splattering everywhere from his nose.

Why didn't the painter fly out this time? Because this time the distance was close enough that Wu Chang grabbed him by the neck and elbow.

The painter spat out a mouthful of blood that had been forced back into his mouth, along with a tooth that had been knocked out by an elbow, and complained:

"Didn't I say I'd wait?"

Wu Chang revealed a simple and honest smile and said:
"Sorry, my skill was activated, I couldn't help it. What were you trying to say?"

The painter said:

"I admit defeat. Let me go. I acknowledge that you are qualified to cooperate with me."

Wu Chang shook his head and said, "That's not right."

The painter asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Chang said, "What you should be thinking about now is not cooperation, but what I can say that I will let you go and stop hindering you."

limner:……

"When you entered the Wutong Forest before, I didn't kill you," Wu Chang said, shaking his head.
"No, even if you go all out, it won't affect me. They have nothing to do with me."

The painter had extremely high resistance; by the time he finished speaking, the negative effects on him had disappeared, and his mind had become much clearer.

"The Light Society has a deep-rooted scheme. If you and I join forces, with me acting as an inside agent in the demon race, it will be easier to deal with the Light Society."

Wu Chang shook his head and said:
"It's still not enough. I can handle them all by myself, even without you."

"I didn't elbow you hard, you're almost recovered. If you still can't explain why you're necessary, I'm going to elbow you again."

The painter's face showed helplessness; he knew peace wasn't so easy to talk to. He wrinkled his nose, which had just healed and was still itchy, and said:
"I have completely taken control of the Fire Demon King's inheritance site, and now this place is entirely under my control."

Wu Chang tilted his head slightly and responded to the painter with an "So what?" expression.

It's perfectly normal for the Demon King to gain access to the Land of Inheritance. As long as the Demon King is killed, the Land of Inheritance will return to its ownerless state.

The painter continued:

"You should know that I possess an S-rank item called 'Kunyu Huiyuan'."

"I have already used 'Kunyu Huiyuan' to capture the essence of Xinwu City. If we completely turn against each other, I can't stop you from escaping. But after I leave, I will take Xinwu City with me, take it out of this world."

"If any one of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—is missing, the sacrificial ceremony to heaven will fail. Even if the world doesn't collapse, all events related to the ceremony will fail. Even if you complete the dungeon, your exploration progress and dungeon rating will plummet, and no one will be better off."

These words immediately eased the pressure on Wu Chang's elbow by a third.

As the number one hide-off in the desolate realm, the painter's ability to conceal himself and escape is beyond doubt. Now, after gaining immortal fortune and the inheritance of the demon king, the painter's strength has reached the level of a low-level god, at least on the same level as him.

The painter was determined to escape, and he really wasn't confident he could kill his opponent.

He had no grudge against the painter. Even in the conflict in Wanghai City, the painter only harmed the interests of the Wanghai branch.

For him personally, the painter not only delivered the revelation tablet, revealing some information about the Abyss Game, but also helped him eliminate You Feipeng, solving a major problem.

Whether or not the painter was killed was of little significance to him.

But the artist's influence on his world dungeon rating is very important to him.

The more information he learns about the world instance, the more he realizes that the sacrificial ceremony involves many factors. If the sacrificial ceremony is destroyed, even if he completes everything, it will be difficult to achieve even 80% of the instance exploration.

This means he will lose at least the perfect rating reward and a colored title.

This was absolutely unacceptable to him.

His tone softened considerably, but he still harbored some doubts. While taking out the Omniscient Crystal from his sleeve to inquire, he also asked the painter:

"A Rank S item has such great power that it can allow you to carve out a portion of the space before the dungeon has even been cleared?"

The painter showed no sign of panic and calmly said:

"Although S-rank items and A-rank items are only one rank apart, their abilities are worlds apart. The reason is that S-rank items contain a portion of the Abyss's authority."

"Even if it exists in the Desolate Realm, an incomplete S-grade item can easily affect the entire Abyss, including the deepest part of the Abyss."

"Your improvement speed is so fast that even I find it unbelievable. It's impossible that you didn't have an S-rank item. You can understand that by thinking back. It took me a lot of effort to investigate this information. Consider it an apology for the misunderstanding before, and I'm giving it to you."

Wu Chang hissed upon hearing this, and the Omniscient Crystal told him that what the painter said was true.

Among the S-rank items, not only do they possess partial access to the Abyss Game, but the raw materials used in their creation also include the Primordial Spirit Pivot.

Because of bad luck and unforeseen circumstances, defective products made from the same raw materials are called "growable items," which require players to "forge" them to unleash their true potential.

He recalled his mortal poison, no wonder that the little thing concocted by a group of arcane knights from the desolate realm could actually extract power from the body of a high-ranking god in the third layer of the abyss.

No wonder upgradeable items are so precious.

He looked at the painter and said:

"Say something like 'brother,' I'm sorry."

The painter looked bewildered, not knowing what had gotten into Heping, but still said, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Wu Chang used his arms to lift the painter, who was kneeling on one knee and leaning back, by the collar, and made him stand up straight on the ground. Then he used his hands to smooth out the wrinkles on the painter's clothes.

"You've already called me brother, so what else is there to say? It's okay, just bump your face against my elbow a couple of times, and I'll rub it myself when I get back."

An Rong was completely baffled by the terms "Abyss Game" and "S-Rank Items," considering them knowledge only understood by celestial beings.

But when he saw the two of them start calling each other brothers as they talked, as if they were about to let bygones be bygones, An Rong couldn't help but speak up.

He walked over carrying a halberd and said:
"Your Excellency Peace, this celestial being has fallen into demonic ways; you must not trust him!"

The painter was displeased. He had already reached a reconciliation with Peace, so how could he tolerate a copy of the native's interference?

He asked rhetorically:

"If you don't believe in a demon like me, are you going to believe in the Humanity Alliance instead?"

An Rong didn't speak, but his expression answered.

The painter snorted and said:

"Then do you know from whom I learned that the Fire Demon King was dead, and how I learned the method of transforming a human into a demon to obtain the Fire Demon King's legacy?"

Upon hearing this, An Rong was startled, as if he had realized something.

When investigating who poisoned An Rong, An Rong had suggested three possibilities.

One such method involves demons who are skilled in human transformation and infiltrate Zhenyue City disguised as humans.

However, judging from the painter's perspective, the truth seems to be quite different.

An Rong asked sternly, "Those are demons?"

The painter said in a playful tone:

"They are human beings, or rather, they are just like me."

"Your emotions are fluctuating a lot; it seems you've already guessed something, haven't you?"

An Rong's face was ashen as he stared intently at the painter, but he said nothing.

Wu Chang said to the painter:
"I hate riddle-makers more than anything else in my life. Explain your words clearly, and make the cause and effect of your words clear."

After gaining access to both immortal and demonic energy, the painter also learned how to use spiritual energy. He transmitted his voice to Wu Chang, saying:
"This involves a faction shift mission, and according to the mission rules, I cannot disclose any information related to the mission, including any intentional hints."

Wu Chang recalled the missions related to factions. Whether it was Emperor Zhaoning's Great Xuan Royal Family or Lü Changgeng's Ascension Society, the switching of factions was very secretive, and there were indeed requirements that could not be disclosed.

An Rong seemed to have guessed something, but judging from his demeanor, he wasn't planning to say it for the time being.

At least I don't intend to tell "Peace".

The painter said to An Rong:
"Although I am now the Fire Demon King, I am a Celestial Being. I only care about what I can gain, not which side wins. Whoever is stronger, I will join."

"But within the Human Alliance, some people have sided with the demons from the very beginning."

"Tell me, who should we not trust, me or the Humanitarian Alliance?"

An Rong was speechless. After a moment of silence, as if he had finally come to terms with reality, he asked:

How do you plan to collaborate?

The painter said:

“I know you don’t trust me yet, but when it comes to conquering and subjugating the demon race, I believe in the power of peace. So I can stay out of the decision-making process and simply join you and cooperate with your plans.”

"When attacking the Land of Heritage, I can leave with my men and clear out Xinwu City."

"When the sacrificial ceremony needs to be activated, I will proactively request the Fire Demon King's legacy site to cooperate."

"Even if we ultimately have to attack the Heavenly Gate, or wipe out certain people in the Human Alliance, I can offer you my help as a human."

At this point, the painter emphasized to An Rong:
"Listen carefully, the only thing I endorse is peace, not the Humanitarian Alliance, and I only trust his judgment."

"If the order for me to cooperate does not come from Peace, but from you, or someone else from the Humanitarian Alliance, I will not accept it, no matter who conveys it."

Wu Chang showed no reaction on his face, but in his heart he couldn't help but praise the painter for his skill.

Previously, there was concern that with only the original body's endorsement, the true self would have difficulty gaining An Rong's approval. Now, in order to control the painter, the fire demon king, An Rong has to consider including the true self in whatever actions he takes.

Seeing that the two had no objections, the painter took out a C-grade consumable called "Covenant," a parchment-shaped covenant that, according to the rules of the world instance, was transformed into three cups of wine.

The painter said:

"If you approve of this collaboration, then let's drink this glass."
