Chapter 250 Abyss Source Harvest
On the exit ground of the stronghold:
Millions of individuals, after cleaning the stronghold, registered to exit the outpost.
"Name?"
"Izrit."
"Hmm, remember the stronghold will only stay here for 4 days."
"What about the radius limit?"
"300,000 km."
"Next!"
Soon, one by one, they registered as they fearlessly exited the stronghold.
After killing the Fire Elemental Lord-level abyss monster, no other stronger abyss monsters should roam within the three-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius.
For them, this is a chance to earn resources.
Unlike other places in the abyss, this junction between the core and purgatory layer is a true treasure paradise.
Rare resources can be found with just a scan of your eyes.
The abyss origin released by each abyss monster is multiplied by multiple folds, making them earn more crystal merits for killing abyss monsters.
Unique chances that can change their faith can be found with a bit of luck.
It can be said that this place is a paradise for the strong.
Whatever you want, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can find it in this place.
...
Exiting the stronghold, Maximus and Skye look around.
"Huh~"
"The abyss aura in here is much thicker than the mana in the Origin Domain," Skye muttered.
"After all, the abyss is a much stronger dimension," Maximus nodded.
The Etherium realm is only a dimension possessing over a thousand elements.
Although the abyss realm they were in was only part of the abyss dimension, it also possessed over a hundred thousand elements.
Earlier, because of the protection of the stronghold array, they barely felt the abyss aura.
But outside, they felt the viscous abyss aura ready to devour everything.
Fortunately, with the foundation and physique of the two, this kind of devouring is nothing.
But for other individuals, even if they put up a protection barrier, their mana consumption would be accelerated.
"So what's the plan?" Skye asked.
"Find some strong-looking abyss monster, I guess," Maximus thought and said.
Not all abyss monsters in this place had an abyss source in them.
The chance of that happening is slim and depends on luck.
As for finding an abyss source from a lode-producing abyss monster?
That's not advisable; the power that an abyss source can produce in this place is no joke.
Even a normal-quality abyss source can exert the strength of an elite-quality abyss source with the thickness of abyss energy in place.
Maximus was not sure if he could survive that unscratched.
It's also a waste of time, even if he could.
"Oh, do we still need to separate?"
"There is no need," Maximus shook his head.
This part of the abyss is dangerous; he doesn't want Skye to have any problems.
Anyway, sooner or later, they would be husband and wife.
There should be no problem showing some power.
"Hehe, then let's quickly find our target," Skye smiled and clung to him.
....
A few hours later.
With Maximus using his system to scan for an abyss source, they finally found their target.
"I'll leave it to you," Maximus said, pointing to the abyss monster.
"Oh? A Tier 7 elite abyss monster?" Skye smiled, not knowing why Maximus was so serious.
With her current strength, she can even kill a Tier 8 elite abyss monster.
A mere tier 7 elite abyss monster was nothing.
"Be careful," Maximus reminded on the side.
However, it seemed that Skye didn't listen to him.
Confidently coming in front of the abyss monster, Skye thought that he could quickly kill the abyss monster.
However, to her shock, a giant hand made out of unknown metal swatted her to the ground.
"I told you," Maximus muttered helplessly.
"Hmph! That's just because I'm not ready," Skye stood up as she removed the dust.
She didn't think that this seemingly weak abyss monster had such strong strength.
She wondered how Maximus pinpointed this abyss monster to know it was different.
However looking at the abyss monster that seems to mock her, a fighting intent flashed into her eyes.
"Die!"
This time, Skye was more cautious, observing every movement of the abyss monster.
With each exchange of spells and attacks, Skye quickly put the abyss monster at a disadvantage.
However, it seemed that the abyss monster was an unkillable bug.
Even under numerous bombardments, it can still move alive and well.
...
While they were fighting, Maximus also set up a barrier array formation.
With the abyss source in the abyss monster, it could not die unless the support of the abyss aura is depleted.
Although his domain can also eliminate any energy, the range is only a few kilometers.
Looking at the fight between Skye and the abyss monster that devastated the land..
A few kilometers are simply not enough.
Fortunately, with proficiency and ready-made materials.
It only took Maximus a few minutes to put on the array, ranging within a hundred-kilometer radius.
Skye also noticed the change in the abyss aura around and grinned.
"Hehe, you're finished!" Skye licked her lips.
Using her full power, she strangled the abyss monster until it couldn't move and bombarded it with various high-tiered skills.
As the abyss aura around depleted, the abyss monster's regeneration also slowed down.
Soon, it disintegrated until there was only an abyss source left.
"Huh~"
"What a satisfying fight!" Skye's fighting intent soared as she hoped there was more.
She didn't mind fighting as long as it was exciting.
Using every skill and arsenal, she wouldn't get bored.
"Nice, it seems that your skill has become more solid," Maximus praised.
"This is also thanks to you," Skye muttered as she took his arm.
The 'origin' cultivation skill that Maximus gave to her was really a game-changer.
Now, she is not only short on battery; even her sensitivity and skill were amplified.
"It's nothing," Maximus shook his head.
It's only natural to give your family whatever good you have.
Taking the abyss source, he smiled. ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ท๐ฏโด๐ฃ๐ฎ๐.๐ธโด๐ฎ
"A normal quality Tier 7 abyss source."
In just a few hours, he obtained a Tier 7 abyss source.
This is equivalent to 100 million system points daily.
Of course, the huge credit for this goes to his system.
Otherwise, if you're unlucky, you may not even find an abyss monster with an abyss source, even if you stay here for a few years.
Furthermore, blindly fighting with abyss monsters is seeking a death wish.
Who knew if the abyss monster that looked weak a second ago could transform into a world-destroying monster?
"Cool! A few hundred trillion was quickly added to the bag!" Skye's eyes lit up.
She didn't care about the abyss source; she only cared about money.
"Alright, as a reward, I'll give you a trillion crystal merit for your share."
"What?! Only a trillion?" Skye looked at him like he was a cheapskate.
"This is only your allowance anyway."
"Furthermore, we would not sell this thing. I need it," Maximus explained.
"Oh, then that's fine," Skye nodded in understanding.
Although she didn't know why Maximus needed the abyss source, she didn't care much.
"Then let's find more abyss monsters!"
...
Four days later, in Eternal Ruin Stronghold:
Maximus and Skye came back to the stronghold.
Looking at the injured and dilapidated appearance of others, Maximus and Skye were quite conspicuous.
They were clean and bright, as if they hadn't entered a dangerous battlefield.
"Who are they? Could it be that they are lucky and didn't encounter any danger?"
"I heard they are newcomers; maybe this is beginner's luck."
"What newbies!"
"I bet they just stayed on the periphery and didn't harvest much."
"It seems so, tsk, what cowards."
The crowd discussed among themselves as they saw Maximus and Skye.
Even the top-tier squad was full of injuries and desolation.
How can they not doubt Maximus and Skye, who were bright and clean?
What they didn't know was that Maximus navigated the abyss with the system, so they didn't encounter any unexpected danger.
Furthermore, with their strength, they were also equivalent to the top-tier squad.
Coupled with his unlimited mana, their state can be maintained at max at all times.
Not minding the chatter of the crowd, Maximus and Skye quickly flew back to their residence.
...
In the mansion:
Skye looked at Maximus excitedly as she tabulated how much crystal merits she would get.
"There are 33 tier 6 abyss sources..."
"There are 3 normal quality tier 7 abyss sources..."
For tier 6 abyss sources, she can get a billion.
For every normal quality tier 7 abyss source, she can get a trillion.
"That means I get over 3 trillion crystal merits!" Skye said happily.
"You sure counted carefully," Maximus teased.
"Of course, this is my allowance; how can I not count it?"
"What are you even gonna buy with it?" Maximus said in puzzlement.
All the training resources were already provided by him.
Skye also had no worries about food and clothing.
Although they can directly absorb crystal merit to increase strength, a few trillion is barely enough.
"Hmph! I just want to experience the feeling of being rich," Skye reasoned.
Thinking of buying whatever she wanted, she couldn't help but smile.
Although she may not be that extravagant, it's still good to think about it.
"Oh~ Then you better spend money carefully," Maximus said, handing him her share.
Looking at the mountain of crystal merit in her storage ring, the smile on Skye's face widened.
"Satisfied now?"
"Satisfied!"
