Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 93: Chapter 91: Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail

Without any hesitation, Chu Xiu directly invested a large number of Cause and Effect Points into the Celestial Demon Hand!

After clearing the advancement trial and suddenly gaining a total of 3,440 Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu’s total Cause and Effect Points had exceeded four thousand!

At this moment, like a stream, they frantically poured into the Celestial Demon Hand, and the Class Bonus increased the utilization efficiency of the Cause and Effect Points by 80%!

In this situation, the cultivation progress of the Celestial Demon Hand skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!

Cause and Effect Points, 1000 Cause and Effect Points, 1500 Cause and Effect Points!

However, although Chu Xiu could feel the Celestial Demon Hand becoming increasingly powerful, there was always a bottleneck blocking him.

Watching as the consumption of Cause and Effect Points was about to break through the two-thousand threshold, Chu Xiu felt incredibly distressed.

But he gritted his teeth!

Add more!

Add fiercely more!

Cause and Effect Points! 2500 Cause and Effect Points! 2952 Cause and Effect Points!

Finally, when the consumption approached three thousand Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu’s mind buzzed as if a qualitative change was triggered by a quantitative change, and a sudden realization rose in his heart. The energy within his body consumed rapidly, gathering and transforming behind him, forming a pair of demon arms that were stronger and harder than before!

[Celestial Demon Hand]

[Cultivation Progress: Second Layer (1/100)]

[Attributes: Power 24.0, Defense 18.0, Energy Level 105.0]

[Energy Consumption: 8.0/minute]

[Divine Techniques: Capable of freely switching between Normal, Frenzy, and Spellcasting states.]

[Frenzy: Volume and mass +1500%, energy consumption +1000%, power +500%, defense +40, precision -80%.]

[Spellcasting: Volume and mass -70%, power -60%, precision +800%, with an additional 80% power increase for spellcasting, consumption -25%.]

Reaching the second layer, the Celestial Demon Hand gave Chu Xiu the first reaction of being even more extreme!

The increase in basic attributes was not particularly large, the power only increased from 20 to 24, and the defense only increased by 3 points, but the energy level almost doubled.

However, the increase in the two states has become even more extreme, now the frenzy power can add a full 500%! Adding the Class Bonus, the power of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand would surge to an astonishing 216 points!

With this level of power, if he encountered the Pain Incarnation again, he could smash it with just the first punch!

However, correspondingly, the increase in volume and energy consumption was even more terrifying, meaning that even with the almost doubled energy level plus Chu Xiu’s own energy level, he could barely maintain it for two minutes in the frenzy state.

As for the Spellcasting state, it naturally also upgraded. The precision and power boosts were higher, and an additional attribute of reduced consumption was added. Unfortunately, Chu Xiu didn’t master any particularly strong magic, so it was generally useless.

”But if I unlock that Jade Poison Corpse Fire, the Spellcasting state will be overpowered.”

Using the Celestial Demon Hand to release this Warrior Tier skill might instantly melt steel!

But after careful consideration, Chu Xiu abandoned this idea and chose to use the remaining over a thousand Cause and Effect Points to unlock the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail’s inheritance.

The reason was simple, he no longer had Cause and Effect Points, so even if he unlocked the Jade Poison Corpse Fire, there was no time to cultivate it to an advanced level.

In contrast, the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail could be quickly refined using the [Perfect Refining] talent!

”I hope this Warrior Tier inheritance won’t disappoint me!”

Chu Xiu focused and consumed all the Cause and Effect Points!

Instantly, a large amount of information flooded into his mind!

[Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail]

[Tier: Warrior]

[Quality: Superior]

[Description: A middle-grade Dharma artifact that can be shot out as the summoner desires. Upon hitting, it carries a blood curse that spreads along the blood. It can explode at any time, the more blood it taints, the stronger its power becomes.]

[Evaluation: Although just a middle-grade Dharma artifact, its extremely fast speed combined with its enhanced penetration power grants it a sneak attack ability comparable to upper-grade Dharma artifacts, making it popular among demon cultivators

[After improvement by the elders of the Saint Sect, it carries a vicious blood curse that many cultivators would rather have a limb cut off by a Righteous Flying Sword than be scratched by the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail.

[But note that the blood curse is a one-time use, and the artifact turns into an ordinary Bone-Piercing Nail after detonation.]

”Hiss—”

The panel in front of his eyes made Chu Xiu thoughtfully stroke his chin.

The description shows that this artifact is strong, very strong!

Not only extremely fast, but with strong penetration, making it difficult for the enemy to avoid or defend against!

The most crucial point is the super buff of the blood curse. As long as it hits, even just a scratch can cause massive damage!

Although Chu Xiu can’t test how powerful the blood curse is now, the description indicates that even a small scratch can trigger damage enough to explode an arm!

Moreover, the more blood the Bone-Piercing Nail taints, the stronger its power! This means if the Bone-Piercing Nail completely enters the opponent’s body, it will unleash incredibly terrifying destructive power! It’s estimated even an elephant could be blasted to pieces!

But the downside is also obvious.

”This thing... is damned one-time use!”

Chu Xiu checked the material requirements carefully, then searched for similar substitutes on the Awakened trading website, and gasped.

The cheapest imitation version starts at six million!

The standard version, which has satisfactory power... costs a full fifteen million!

”This is insanely costly!”

Chu Xiu was overwhelmed.

He now had only one thought in his mind.

Fortunately, he got a large sum of money from the Lin Family, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to refine even one!

”The world task requires killing the Corpse King. Whether dealing with geniuses from other forces or strong monsters in the dungeon, this Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail is very important!”

”One is absolutely not enough!”

”At least three!”

Chu Xiu quickly completed the calculation in his mind.

Three, that’s forty-five million! Still short of twenty million!

These deficits, after selling the equipment artifacts obtained from the trial, should almost be enough to cover.

But the issue is that besides refining the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail, he has many other expenses.

After careful thought, he decisively made a choice.

”Sell Jiang Xue’s [Perfect] quality protective talisman!”

This talisman, its effect is to generate a shield to block damage, naturally very strong in the Mortal Tier, but it might not be enough in Warrior Tier battles.

On the other hand, its attributes are particularly suitable for the Awakened trials, almost equivalent to being born with three extra lives! It can definitely sell for an extremely high price!

Thinking this, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated. After confirming a suitable price, he listed the talisman online.

While waiting for it to sell, Chu Xiu entered a few dungeons.

After reaching the Warrior Tier, he couldn’t farm the Mortal Tier dungeons anymore, so he did not act recklessly, only farming a few [Ordinary] dungeons.

Mainly to get familiar with the Warrior Tier body and the new combat methods, while maintaining his state.

Three days later, everything progressed smoothly.

The Perfect Protective Talisman was bought by a wealthy man in Kyoto for twenty-five million.

Other equipment and artifacts sold about 70-80% within three days.

According to his plan, Chu Xiu successfully refined three [Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails], and with the remaining money, he bought up all the high cost-performance high-grade souls in Jiang City and nearby!

A total of seventeen souls, five of which have the potential to advance to Fierce Ghosts! The others have a high probability of evolving into Level 9 Yin Ghosts!

With so many souls collected into the Evil Soul Banner, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but reveal an inner smile.

He felt his ghost army was already taking shape.

Next, by crazily grinding in the Corpse Demon World, these powerful souls could hatch into Yin Ghosts and Fierce Ghosts.

Imagining himself waving his hand in the future, with a dozen Fierce Ghosts and nearly a hundred Yin Ghosts rushing out maniacally, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Who can stop such a terrifying ghost army?

What does it mean to form an army alone, this is forming an army alone!

Looking at the now empty wallet, Chu Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

”Now all the preparations are complete.”

”It’s time to give others a little demonic cultivator shock!”
