Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 152: Chapter 122: Bloody Arena

Chu Xiu never dreamed that he would arrive at the Bloody Arena in this manner.

Although he wanted to complete this hidden mission, it wasn’t supposed to be at such a time!

The most unsettling part was.

”That tongue’s suggestion actually worked???

He was completely numb now; it was too bizarre, making him unsure whether to laugh or cry.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

”Forget it, although this adds variables to the task of tackling the Corpse King, it unexpectedly brought me to the Bloody Arena.”

”According to the normal process, it’s almost impossible to find this place without fusing [Legend] equipment.”

”If the situation goes smoothly, it might actually be a good thing.”

Adjusting his emotions, Chu Xiu began to hold his forehead and ponder over the current situation.

After entering the Bloody Arena, he completely lost contact with the Outer World, and naturally, the Demon Legion left outside couldn’t sense him either.

However, the good news is that without his control, those Demon Legion will fall into a frenzy, indiscriminately attacking any approaching creature.

”The Corpse King was already in a weakened state and even lost three powerful Dark Gold Corpse Ghosts to send me to the Bloody Arena; in this situation, it can’t possibly pose a threat to my Demon Legion.”

”If I were it, I would probably use the home terrain advantage to separate these demons.”

When the Dark Gold Corpse Ghosts ambushed Chu Xiu, they succeeded in one move precisely because of the sudden splitting of flesh and blood aberrations. Since flesh and blood aberrations can change, trapping the Demon Legion shouldn’t be difficult.

”And the Awakened shouldn’t have the leisure to provoke them, so there’s no need to worry about the safety of the Demon Legion.”

”In fact, they will continuously attack the flesh and blood aberration, accumulating damage value for me.”

Actually, just the first wave of damage Chu Xiu inflicted is basically enough to ensure he gets the [Core Anchor Point], and now the biggest variables are just two.

”First, if I’m trapped here for too long, I might still have a high chance of getting the [Core Anchor Point], but as for the extra rewards from the Blood Moon Ceremony, I can forget about them.”

As long as the Demon Legion is trapped with flesh and blood and can’t sense any biological presence, they will stop attacking.

”Second, although the Corpse King is in a weakened state, can the remaining Awakened kill it?”

With over a thousand Awakened, themselves a massive variable, if they unite and fearlessly fight to the death, even Chu Xiu would have to be wary of their formidable power. But if they are a plate of loose sand, scheming against each other, it’s uncertain if they could resolve the weakened Corpse King.

The currently vulnerable Corpse King might actually become the flashpoint for erupting contradictions!

”If an internal conflict breaks out over fighting for the Anchor Point and the Corpse King gets an opportunity, or it’s dragged on until the Sea of Blood rises, then it’ll be troublesome...”

Chu Xiu’s expression grew increasingly grave, and he made a decision almost instantly.

He must hurry back at once!

Whether it’s to accrue more damage value for extra rewards or to avoid any changes if the Corpse King unlocks power, he must act quickly!

With his mind determined, he began to carefully examine his current location.

It seemed like he was no longer on the original world, standing on desolate, gray-black land. Looking up, he couldn’t see a sky colored by atmospheric refraction, only distant stars.

”No wonder the location of the Bloody Arena is so hard to find; it’s simply on another planet.”

This planet seemed to have no air, but Chu Xiu’s Constitution had long surpassed the limitations of a species, so it wasn’t much of an issue for him.

Retracting his gaze from the horizon, Chu Xiu looked ahead.

Not far from him was a structure similar to the Ancient Roman Colosseum, yet far larger in scale. The towering walls were like sheer cliffs rising thousands of meters from the earth, evoking a sense of smallness in Chu Xiu’s heart before such a grand building.

He exhaled deeply, kicked off his legs, and rushed quickly toward the arena’s location.

Very soon, he drew near and discovered that around this arena, many of the blood-red giants that once delivered him Blood Moon rewards were bustling about. These giants seemed quite busy, and each had a tube like an umbilical cord extending from their mind...

Following their gaze, Chu Xiu saw an enormous Blood Moon floating behind the arena.

Previously, Chu Xiu’s view had been blocked by the arena’s walls, preventing him from noticing it, but now, as the Blood Moon slowly ascended, this colossus gradually revealed itself. It nearly filled the entire sky, casting a dim red glow, infusing the planet with an eerie and unsettling air.

Moreover...

”This is definitely not the moon as I know it!”

From such a close range, Chu Xiu realized that what he perceived as the Blood Moon in the Corpse Demon World was more accurately a gigantic creature rather than a planet! Its surface was covered in dense tentacle-like hair, wriggling irregularly under the dim red light, and if observed closely, each ”hair” was a massive tentacle stretching several kilometers long!

Chu Xiu’s scalp tingled, and as the Blood Moon continued to rise, the entire sky turned dark red, enveloping it completely. Chu Xiu suddenly felt an odd sensation, as if it were a huge eyeball, gazing at him.

”Buzz—”

At this moment, a heart-stopping buzz sounded behind him. Chu Xiu spun around abruptly and discovered that, while he was lost in thought, a blood-red giant had approached him without him noticing, muttering in an ancient language.
