From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 48 Abyss Battlefield: Evil God Resurrection Ceremony
"Skill fusion completed, evolved into 'Invisible Veil·Escape Shadow'."
"Invisible Veil·Escape Shadow: Releases energy to cover objects, achieving an optical invisibility effect while isolating odors and infrared sensing. Skill Consumption: 3 points of Source Energy/min. Skill Level: D class."
"Success, the skill name changed to 'Invisible Veil·Escape Shadow', and the effect has isolated odors and infrared sensing added, making it much stronger," Su Muyu said, her eyes full of surprise after seeing the evolved skill effect.
Although Lu Heng possessed the Talent 'Divine Evolution', not every Skill Set had undergone fusion, so he had initially been unaware of the fusion effect.
Now hearing that the skill had additional effects of isolating odors and infrared sensing, he was also a bit surprised.
"The effect is very strong, the fusion went perfectly."
In fact,
using 'Divine Evolution' to fuse skills, the fusion effect is uncertain.
If one is unlucky, it could even degrade a previously decent Skill Effect.
Generally speaking, fusing skills of the same type results in a better outcome.
...
In the next two days, Lu Heng focused on training the Step Sword Seven Styles, waiting for the arrival of the Abyss Battlefield.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the Abyss Battlefield to open.
At night.
Lu Heng practiced the Step Sword Seven Styles one last time.
"Insights gained from practicing swordsmanship, Sword Technique Proficiency + 1"
"Sword Skill Realm: In-depth Level (1215/3000)"
"Physical Constitution improved during training, Strength +0.01, Agility +0.01, Constitution +0.01"
After finishing training, the sky gradually darkened.
Lu Heng and Su Muyu went to a supermarket, bought some drinks and snacks, sat on the terrace, looked at the city's night view, and waited for midnight to come.
Pshh!
Lu Heng pulled the tab of a beer can, took a sip, and the slightly bitter taste immediately soaked into his taste buds.
Su Muyu tried a sip, stuck out her tongue, and switched to drinking jasmine tea instead.

One drinking beer, the other drinking a beverage, they clinked their drinks together.
Su Muyu leaned her forehead against the bay window glass, looked at the neon lights outside, and broached a topic as they were about to enter the Abyss Battlefield,
"Lu Heng, have you ever thought about what would happen to our families if we didn't come back?"
Actually, Lu Heng had thought about this question, but it was unsolvable.
Most people's first thought would definitely be to leave some money for their parents, but in a world where the Abyss Descent happened, leaving too much money might not be useful and could even bring danger.
Lu Heng looked out the window and said slowly, "All we can do is try our best to survive. If we don't come back, even if we leave a large sum of money for our family, they wouldn't be able to hold onto it."
Su Muyu nodded in agreement, "That's what I thought too, so I felt a bit helpless. Aside from trying our best to survive, there's no other way."
After a while, she continued, "I thought about helping my mom Awaken before. Awakening can enhance physical fitness and seems to have no side effects. But then I thought it over, and after Awakening, she'd be conscripted into the Abyss Battlefield, which is even more dangerous."
She concluded, based on current information, that all Superpower Users have a chance of being conscripted.
Lu Heng flicked her forehead to remind her, "Don't worry about that, actually, only Combat System Superpower Users are conscripted. If she acquired Life Skills, she could avoid conscription. But, we can't rush this; it has to be done gradually."
Su Muyu, hearing there was a way to avoid conscription, immediately cheered up, "So becoming a Life Skills Superpower User won't get conscripted by the Abyss Battlefield?"
"To be precise, the Abyss Battlefield only conscripts upper-mid level Superpower Users. By this pattern, there indeed is a way to avoid conscription."
This issue had been deeply researched by many people in his previous life, and the conscription pattern of the Abyss Battlefield had largely been figured out.
The Abyss Battlefield claims to conscript randomly, but it's not entirely random.
Only higher Combat Power Superpower Users are conscripted, and the lower the Combat Power, the lower the probability of conscription.
This proportion is roughly split in half.
Therefore, those who acquired Life Skills, since they generally have low Combat Power, aren't usually conscripted.
Of course, if all high Combat Power Superpower Users die in battle, the lower Combat Power Superpower Users will inevitably be conscripted.
But by that time, civilization would likely be close to collapse.
...
The time had finally reached midnight.
The countdown had only the last three minutes left.
Lu Heng took out a Glock handgun and handed it over, "Keep the gun with you. If, after the transport, we don't appear in the same place, you need to protect yourself until I find you.
"Don't take out the handgun lightly. At this time, very few people can bring firearms into the Abyss World. Other Superpower Users who see it will definitely try to steal it."
"Okay, I understand." Su Muyu nodded, took the Glock, placed it in her palm, and then wrapped it with the energy of the 'Invisibility Veil'.
Instantly, the handgun became invisible.
If it were before her awakening, her strength might not have been able to handle the recoil of the handgun.
However, her strength had already reached 16 points. Despite being a girl, her strength attribute was much higher than that of an average person.
The countdown ended.
Su Muyu took Lu Heng's hand voluntarily, and then her field of vision began to distort bizarrely.
As their field of vision plunged into a chaotic darkness, teleportation information appeared.

[Evil God Resurrection Ceremony countdown: 7 days...]
Seeing the name of the Abyss World he was transported to made Lu Heng's heart skip a beat.
Because he had heard of this Abyss World's name in his previous life.
The "Evil God Barton's Burial Ground" battlefield had been sensational in his previous life.
It was a rare 100-person scale battlefield that ended tragically.
Only a few of the summoned Superpower Users returned alive and spoke about their experiences in the Abyss.
According to the descriptions of the returnees, they had successfully stopped the resurrection ceremony.
It was the first time the Human World had come to know of the terrifying existence of Evil Gods in the Abyss.
However, that was not the entire story.
Approximately three months after the cessation of the resurrection ceremony, Evil God Barton descended upon Blue Star, destroying the central city of a small equatorial nation.
According to the descriptions of the returnees, they had received help from an anti-magic tribe of the Abyss World and successfully stopped the resurrection ceremony.
Yet, three months later, a dreadful event occurred.
Evil God Barton had descended upon Blue Star, destroying a city.
This contradicted the descriptions of the returnees.
As the returnees had claimed, if they had stopped the resurrection ceremony, then why would Evil God Barton resurrect and descend upon Blue Star?
The few Superpower Users who had returned from the Abyss Battlefield also suffered vengeance from Evil God Barton, all perishing.
There was no way to verify the truth from them anymore.
