Divine Seal: I, the Grim Reaper, am kept by the yandere Cai'er.

Chapter 57 Void Abyss Shadow

Cai'er nodded slightly, which was considered as accepting Gao Yingjie's evaluation.

She didn't feel guilty about Bai Ye's substitution, because Bai Ye was indeed using the techniques she currently possessed; it's just that Bai Ye's understanding of power had reached a god-like level.

"By the way, Captain, didn't Paladin Commander Hanci say that the top three would all receive a Spirit Furnace as a reward?" Chen Ying'er suddenly remembered something, her big eyes sparkling as she leaned closer. "What kind of Spirit Furnace did the Assassin's Temple reward you with? Show it to us!"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the others instantly ignited with fervor. A spirit furnace! That was a rare and precious artifact coveted by every professional!

Cai'er hesitated for a moment.

In the past, she would never have revealed her hand to anyone.

But recalling Bai Ye's advice to communicate more with her teammates, she finally reached out and gently touched the storage ring.

With a flash of light, an extremely exquisite dark purple crystal box appeared in her palm.

As the crystal box slowly opened, an extremely mysterious and profound spatial fluctuation instantly permeated the entire carriage.

Inside the crystal box, a ball of light, swirling like a nebula, floated silently.

The core of this radiance was absolute blackness, as if it could devour all light;

At the edge of the darkness, tiny silver fragments of space shimmered, like stars in the night sky, beautiful yet deadly.

"So beautiful—" the girls couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is—a spirit furnace with dual attributes of space and shadow?!" Gao Yingjie jumped to his feet, nearly hitting the roof of the car. His voice trembled with shock. "And—this aura, could this be the legendary fusion spirit furnace?!"

"A fusion furnace? What's that?" Li Xin asked curiously.

Ye Weiyang took a deep breath, her eyes filled with astonishment, a testament to her extensive knowledge of ancient texts. She explained, "Ordinary spirit furnaces can only absorb two or three at most per person; any more will cause them to explode and die due to attribute conflicts. But the fusion spirit furnace is different. It is extremely rare and inherently possesses the characteristic of 'inclusivity.' Not only can it perfectly fuse with other spirit furnaces, it can even devour other spirit furnaces to accelerate its own evolution!"

"That's right." Cai'er spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible joy. "The assassin specifically retrieved this spirit furnace from the deepest part of the Alliance's treasury. Its name is—Void Abyss Shadow Spirit Furnace."

"Void Abyss Shadow?"

"Yes," Cai'er explained, "It grants two abilities. The first is absolute stealth, meaning that as long as one is in the shadows, one can completely shield oneself from all aura and mental detection, making it extremely difficult for even an eighth-tier expert to detect one; the second is void warp, allowing one to perform instantaneous spatial jumps within the shadow range of sight, ignoring physical defenses."

After hearing Cai'er's description, a collective gasp filled the carriage.

Absolute stealth combined with instantaneous spatial jump!

This is practically the ultimate weapon tailor-made for assassins!

With this spirit furnace, Cai'er is practically a reaper who comes and goes without a trace on the battlefield. She can kill whoever she wants and then escape in an instant!

"That's insane—" Wang Yuanyuan swallowed hard, looking at the nebula-like light with envy in her eyes. "I wish I had a spirit furnace that could enhance my defense."

"Waaaaah, I really want a spirit furnace too, even one that can increase summoning luck would be great!" Chen Ying'er was so envious that her mouth was practically watering.

Seeing that her teammates, though envious, only had pure amazement and blessings in their eyes, without the slightest jealousy or greed, Cai'er's long-frozen heart seemed to be infused with a ray of warmth.

"This thing is barely a decent toy."

Within your sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Ye's languid voice rang out at the opportune moment, "The combination of space and shadow can perfectly compensate for your current lack of mobility. However, why wait until you reach the Demon Exorcism Pass to absorb it? There are still a full ten days' journey to reach your destination, enough time for you to completely refine it. Let's begin now; I will guide you and teach you how to perfectly fuse it with the Thousand Strike Spirit Furnace within your body. At that time, your strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap."

"Okay." Cai'er responded softly in her heart, a very faint smile appearing on her lips.

For the next nine days, the carriage sped along the smooth official road.

Cai'er sat cross-legged at the deepest part of the carriage, almost never leaving his side. Under Bai Ye's god-like micro-management guidance, she successfully absorbed the "Void Abyss Shadow Spirit Furnace" into her body and achieved a perfect double helix balance with the original Thousand Strike Spirit Furnace.

On the morning of the ninth day, with a slight magical hum, the levitation array at the bottom of the carriage was fully activated.

The four pure white magical horses pulling the carriage let out a long neigh and actually took to the air!

The entire luxurious carriage defied gravity, like a small land cruiser, and soared into the sky towards the towering, endless Demon-Suppressing Mountain Range ahead.

Once we cross this formidable barrier, we can reach the front line of humanity's fight against the demons—the Exorcism Pass!

Inside the carriage, the girls were all incredibly excited.

Apart from Wang Yuanyuan, who had previously gained experience on the border, Li Xin, Feng Ling'er, Ye Weiyang, and Chen Ying'er were all stepping onto the battlefield for the first time in a true sense.

Looking out the window at the increasingly approaching precipitous mountain peaks, their eyes showed no fear, but rather were filled with eager excitement.

They were eager to kill the demons to verify the results of their cultivation and the teamwork between them.

Time flew by in anticipation, and before we knew it, night had fallen.

Above the Demon-Suppressing Mountains, thick dark clouds obscured the stars and moon, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

The gale-force winds high in the sky whistled like knives across the carriage's defensive barrier, producing a teeth-grinding sound.

Cai'er, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly heard Bai Ye's somewhat mocking alarm in her mind.

"Wake up, Xiao Cai'er, we have guests."

Cai'er suddenly opened her eyes, unfocused, but her muscles tensed instantly: "Bai Ye, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, weren't you eager to test the power of the new spirit furnace?" Bai Ye chuckled, a hint of anticipation in his voice. "Now, the perfect opportunity for practical application has arrived!"

In reality, Cai'er grabbed the bamboo staff beside her without hesitation, her clear, cold voice suddenly booming in the quiet carriage: "All hands on alert! Prepare for battle!"

The women were stunned for a moment. Before they could react to what was happening, a piercing and chilling howl suddenly came from outside the carriage!
