Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 216: Chapter 146: Ascension Sequence

Without any hesitation, Chu Xiu directly invested a massive amount of Cause and Effect Points into the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone!

As the Cause and Effect Points burned, he felt a dense influx of Demonic Qi entering his body!

Unlike the corrosion caused by Demon Energy Infusion, this Demonic Qi was gentler and fused with Chu Xiu’s body, bringing about astonishing changes over his whole body once again!

Dark golden patterns emerged on his skin, muscle density soared exponentially, and his bones became as pitch black as ink, like steel forged to its ultimate extremity through relentless tempering!

[Spent 5415 Cause and Effect Points, Golden Flesh and Nether Bone First Layer refined!]

[Spent 11665 Cause and Effect Points, Golden Flesh and Nether Bone Second Layer refined!]

[Spent 24872 Cause and Effect Points, Golden Flesh and Nether Bone Third Layer refined!]

After consuming more than half his Cause and Effect Points, this Innate Divine Demon Secret Technique was directly cultivated to the Third Layer!

Dark golden runes appeared on Chu Xiu’s face, and he stood there, his whole being seemingly shrouded with a hint of divinity.

As he lightly clenched his fist, a terrifying power far surpassing its previous strength surged from his fist!

[Golden Flesh and Nether Bone Third Layer: Constitution +680, Energy Level +360, Skin Defense +58, Skeleton Defense +244, and skin insulation effectiveness, acid resistance, and shock absorption greatly enhanced.]

These terrifying attributes filled Chu Xiu’s eyes with ecstatic joy, once again marveling at the perverse nature of the Demon Inheritance!

His constitution more than doubled! Moreover, after the transformation, his muscle cells could even store energy! Even the Energy Level increased!

What was more astonishing was the terrifying enhancement in defense this Secret Technique brought!

It’s well known that human skin is quite fragile; even a tiny splinter can pierce through it. Despite the Awakener’s constitution being enhanced multiple times over, the skin remains a weak point.

This time, a surge of 58 points in skin defense and a substantial increase in various resistances allow even a tank-piercing rocket to fail in penetrating Chu Xiu’s skin! The super insulation performance also allows him to walk through flames thousands of degrees Celsius without harm!

The enhancement to bones is even more terrifying, directly boosting his bone strength above that of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand. If he battled the Blood Angels again now, Chu Xiu could just stand there and let it slash at him; its Giant Sword would be lodged in his bones!

”Even though currently, including all Equipment, my constitution is only twelve hundred, I’m not afraid to engage in close combat with a Notary with a two-thousand constitution, relying solely on the formidable defense of Golden Flesh and Nether Bone!”

”Only then can it barely be considered the Innate Divine Demon!”

A smile involuntarily appeared on Chu Xiu’s face.

He felt as if his body was truly transforming towards a Divine Demon.

And the most horrifying thing is, as the foundational Cultivation Technique of the Golden Embryo Nether Technique, the ”Golden Flesh and Nether Bone” has a total of six layers!

After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, the cultivation of each Inheritance no longer stopped at a superficial attempt like in the Qi Refining Stage. Both difficulty and complexity skyrocketed by a tier!

”According to the information I got from the Inheritance, those who can cultivate this Secret Technique to Perfection in the Foundation Establishment Stage are some core personal disciples of the Saint Sect, while ordinary inner sect disciples reaching the third layer are considered talented Body Refining experts.”

”And I’ve directly reached the third layer in the early to mid Foundation Establishment, relying on a large amount of Cause and Effect Points!”

”Unfortunately, to cultivate to the next layer, it’s estimated to require nearly fifty thousand Cause and Effect Points.”

The cultivation of the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone becomes more challenging and more consuming as one progresses.

This is a foundational Cultivation Technique of the Innate Divine Demon, spanning the entire Foundation Establishment Stage. Even Chu Xiu didn’t greedily plan to reach Perfection in the Fierce Tier.

Of course, the more you invest, the greater the return. Continuing to upgrade may one day make him a terrifying existence that remains immortal even at the heart of a nuclear explosion.

And the abnormal effect of the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone makes Chu Xiu eagerly anticipate the power of another Inheritance—Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array!

He concentrated and looked; the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array consists of eight Nether Fire Array Flags, each a grade of Supreme Dharma Artifact, and combined, the grade reaches the level of Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact.

It’s known that the Evil Soul Banner is merely a Supreme Dharma Artifact.

Chu Xiu has now grasped the pattern of the three paths: the Supreme Demon Lord requires time to devour flesh and cultivate summoned creatures legion slowly; the Innate Divine Demon is a simple and direct add-point affair; while Duo Bao Demon Venerable requires collecting materials and refining Equipment to achieve substantial enhancement.

Although the process is cumbersome, basically each Artifact is of terrifying power. For example, the Warrior Tier’s Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail, though Chu Xiu hasn’t detonated the Blood Curse to this day, he can feel that the power of the Blood Curse, after the Corpse Fire Tempering upgrade, is definitely sufficient to harm a General Tier, i.e., directly challenging opponents across two major tiers! And the materials used for Chu Xiu’s Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail aren’t even the top-grade ones!

”Although the path of the Duo Bao Demon Venerable isn’t particularly helpful to my combat for now, none of the three Inheritance paths is weak! If I can refine them all, I will surely greatly enhance my combat power.”

”However, just the materials alone are priceless, and it may not even be possible to gather them all.”

”Let’s look for them when I return.”

Determined in his heart, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated, and after refining the Baron and Blood Angels’ corpses into Resurrected Corpses, he began to exit the instance.

This time, he almost maximized all the Contribution Points he could farm, and he eagerly wanted to return to the Awakening Space to see the rewards this time!

As his body gradually became phantom-like, Chu Xiu felt an invisible pull guiding him, gradually leaving this world.
