Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 251: Chapter 157: 100,000 Life Souls (Part 3)

”What exactly is Xue Li’s background? His resources are unbelievably abundant,” Chu Xiu was somewhat shocked.

An artifact that can summon a King Tier creature directly; its value is beyond measure without even thinking about it!

More importantly...

”With this massive creature drawing the enemy’s fire, my Demon Legion can attack freely!”

Without further hesitation, he pointed downward. Instantly, a massive wave of ghosts surged out from the Fierce Soul Banner, transforming into a dark hurricane sweeping downwards. Huge Resurrected Corpses were also drawn from the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, falling like meteors!

Meanwhile, as Xue Li revealed his trump card, everyone else felt a surge of Mental Energy, rekindling their hope for survival. They concentrated their firepower on the tentacle prison, launching an assault to break out.

Under their combined assault, tentacles were being destroyed, and a breach seemed imminent!

But then, a dull wail suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads, their expressions changing dramatically.

They were shocked to discover that, in just a few breaths, the rock giant had shrunk considerably!

As it turned out, it wasn’t a real King Tier creature, but merely a replicated illusion!

The illusion’s energy was limited, with each attack or received damage consuming a substantial amount of energy!

At this time, realizing that everyone intended to fight their way out, the Corrupted Soldiers joined the fray.

They moved quickly around the Titan, relentlessly pouring fire upon it. The cannons of six mechas behind them fired wildly, and shells exploded on the Juvenile Titan, shattering large rock pieces with each explosion, rapidly depleting its energy. In no time, it was reduced to two-thirds of its original size!

Although it could hold for a short time, anyone could see that it was just prolonging their survival.

And ahead, where they planned to break out, a large number of Corrupted Soldiers were already waiting, blocking their retreat in advance.

Their newly ignited hope was soon extinguished again.

However, just as everyone was plunged back into despair, a violent whistle of something piercing the air suddenly came from the sky!

The next moment, amidst the sound of violent impacts, more than a dozen massive bodies crashed heavily into the ground!

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Resurrected Corpses, each weighing over a hundred tons, landed without any buffer, their immense force instantly creating massive craters and crushing the Corrupted residents below into masses of flesh!

Simultaneously, countless ghosts shrieked as they flooded the battlefield. They hid behind the Juvenile Titan, using it as a shield, and launched magic without reservation. Streams of Yin Wind Blade converged, forming a black storm that swept through the prison, shredding everything in its path, leaving only a ground littered with severed limbs of the underground residents!

Being in a Soul Body State and hiding behind the Titan made the ghosts almost immune to the Corrupted Soldiers’ retaliation.

Thus, with a front-line shield and a back-line of support, they harvested the lives of the underground residents en masse and virtually unscathed!

The entry of the Demon Legion instantly turned the tide!

This made everyone overjoyed. Initially, they only asked Chu Xiu to help break a small breach to escape, but they didn’t expect Chu Xiu’s Summoned Creatures Legion to be so formidable!

Feeling both shocked and uplifted, everyone took out their best recovery artifacts and began unleashing their most powerful attack techniques, launching a counterattack against the Corrupted Soldiers.

The Awakened had an advantage in Tier, and with no worries now, as High Tier Skills rained down, numerous Corrupted Soldiers were blown to pieces, sustaining heavy casualties!

At this time, the distant tentacle prison also exploded, but it was because Huang Guohua, a 9th Level General Tier Corrupted Awakened, could not repulse it and was smashed apart, escaping with half his body missing.

Once this top-notch combatant was freed, the situation became even more lopsided in their favor. He seemed to have a belly full of anger, charging into the Corrupted Soldiers for a frenzy of slaughter, like a human-shaped tank rambling through, each punch taking numerous lives.

This made observing Chu Xiu secretly delighted; these people were essentially working for him, as each enemy killed became nourishment for his ghost advancement.

Unfortunately, the enemies weren’t foolish; they wouldn’t let themselves be slaughtered indefinitely for upgrades.

Overhead, two remaining intact Corrupted Awakened exchanged a glance and descended more tentacles.

But this time, it was not to imprison but to obstruct.

At the same time, the Corrupted Soldiers’ ranks started to withdraw in an orderly fashion.

The ordinary underground residents’ deaths didn’t concern them; after all, their numbers were too vast to finish off.

But Corrupted Soldiers were different and all elites. Compared to stubbornly killing Chu Xiu and others, they had more important tasks to save their strength.

While their side gained the upper hand, they were powerless to stop the enemy’s retreat and could only slaughter the remaining underground residents to vent their emotions.

After the High Tier combat power left, these Level 1 and 2 Mortal Tier creatures, as numerous as they were, no longer posed a threat, and soon with their cooperation, this wave of underground residents was entirely wiped out.

And it was then that Chu Xiu leisurely floated down.

In truth, if he acted himself, he could secure more corpses, even killing a Corrupted Awakened wouldn’t be surprising. However, for safety, he chose to guard against that mysterious Colonel, sending only the Demon Legion into the fray.

Though this meant fewer gains, Chu Xiu had no regrets.

No matter how many times you overthink, never once let your guard down, because in the Abyss, you only have one chance.

”Thank you, Chen, for your assistance.”

As he landed, everyone came forward to express their gratitude.

Chu Xiu merely waved his hand dismissively and began diligently collecting the field’s Life Souls.

Their escape was, in no small part, due to Chu Xiu, so no one would quibble.

Soon, all Life Souls were collected into the Fierce Soul Banner by him, and after a quick inspection, Chu Xiu’s face lit up with joy.

The estimated number of Life Souls, roughly, was at least a hundred thousand!

Among them, there were hundreds of Corrupted Soldiers and thousands of Warrior Tier! More than what he had collected previously by far!

Additionally, the corpses’ blood and flesh could be refined into a lot of Blood Fiends to assist ghost advancement!

”A bountiful harvest indeed!”

Chu Xiu’s smile widened in satisfaction.

Such resources could never be claimed by him alone; it was like all the Awakened were risking their lives working for him this time.

And after gathering the Life Souls, Chu Xiu flew back to the sky to retreat with everyone else.

Once they reached a safe area, he couldn’t wait to begin the refinement!

”Boom!”

As the hundred thousand Life Souls burned to ashes one by one, transforming into the purest Mental Energy, the ghosts within the Soul Banner began advancing en masse! The number of Fierce Ghosts also surged!

One Fierce Ghost, two Fierce Ghosts...

In just half a quarter, the number of Fierce Ghosts surged directly to the limit! Which meant precisely one hundred!

At the same time, the numbers of Fierce Ghosts and Yin Ghosts also increased, eventually fixing at about one thousand and two and two thousand and five, respectively.

Chu Xiu knew this was the Fierce Soul Banner’s limit, and for it to greatly increase further, it must transform into a Hundred Souls Banner!

Now, with a hundred Fierce Souls, only one Ghost General birth was needed!

And at this moment, there were about ten thousand Life Souls left unused in the Soul Banner.

Without hesitation, he devoted all remaining Life Souls to the Blood Angels’ soul devouring!

It was the soul in the Soul Banner with the greatest chance of becoming a Ghost General at present!

Under Chu Xiu’s expectant gaze, the Blood Angels’ soul’s Fierce Ghost aura began to surge, swiftly reaching Fierce Tier Level 9, and commenced a transformation to a higher level...
