Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 292: Chapter 172: Power of the True Demon Saber

Chu Xiu’s words caused the massive body of the Blood Attendant to freeze in place, its hollow eye sockets without eyeballs staring intently at him.

As if to say: Don’t make such a boring joke.

However, Chu Xiu remained calm, ”Of course, I also have three conditions: first, the opponent cannot run away; second, the arena must be the most ordinary dueling platform; third, timing starts only after the exchange begins.”

”As long as it’s a face-to-face battle, uninfluenced by the environment, I can kill the opponent within ten seconds! Please relay these exact words to the Endless Blood Pool.”

Chu Xiu’s voice was full of confidence. The three conditions he put forward were merely to eliminate some potential dangers.

For instance, if the starting positions were several kilometers apart, or they were directly thrown into a vacuum, or if the opponent focused solely on escaping to delay time, then no matter how strong he was, it would be impossible to kill the opponent within ten seconds.

Although Chu Xiu felt that the Gods probably wouldn’t resort to such petty tricks, to be safe, it was better to do all the necessary preparations. After all, who could guarantee that among these four Gods, there wasn’t one with incredibly poor gambling ethics, resorting to unscrupulous means?

Faced with Chu Xiu’s request, the Blood Attendant said nothing. It took a long time before it returned to a prostrate position, approaching the statue where the Endless Blood Pool was located.

After a moment, a large amount of fresh red blood suddenly spurted from the Blood Pool, as if laughing. The other three God statues also lit up, and countless threads for the gambling agreement flowed out from the tops of the four statues, much more densely than before!

The Blood Attendant lifted its head, ”The Gods have agreed to your proposal and have made a heavy bet.”

”If you win, the Gods will grant you an extra reward, but if you lose, all your points will be wiped out, and you will lose the favor of the Gods until entering the next tier of the arena.”

Chu Xiu nodded. He knew that it was impossible for the Endless Blood Pool to refuse his proposal. He had already figured out that the four Gods were not rational analysts who would gamble according to the optimal strategy, but rather a group of thrill-seekers purely in pursuit of excitement.

Such an opportunity for a small gain with a big risk, they couldn’t possibly pass up.

But then, wasn’t Chu Xiu the same?

The only difference was that he wasn’t blinded by the prospect of immense profit, but had clearly analyzed the benefits and risks.

While waiting for the battle to begin, Chu Xiu opened the treasury of the Blood Pool and exchanged for an item.

[Life Tree Essence Extract: Fierce Tier Perfect Artifact, quickly replenishes depleted life force after consumption, Price: 14 Ancient Blood.]

Having done all this, Chu Xiu calmly waited for the battle to begin.

Not long after, a rumbling sound echoed in his ears. The tall, ancient buildings around him shattered like bubbles, replaced by slabs of bluestone bricks.

In just a few breaths, the ancient Bloody Arena had disappeared, and Chu Xiu stood on a massive arena, with a clear blue sky above him and stone bricks stretching out as if extending to the world’s end.

About a thousand meters away stood a red-brown figure three meters tall, with a pair of calm and indifferent eyes quietly staring at him.

”Clang!”

With a light sound, two elongated folding blades extended from his forearms, and the red scales on his body undulated like waves, with dark gold runes appearing underneath.

There was no dialogue between the two, nor was there any need for conversation. In the arena, the only thing they needed to do was to kill each other by any means necessary, presenting a spectacular show for the Gods!

As the ancient will representing the commencement of the battle manifested in the arena, the Red Scale Gladiator vanished from his original position in an instant!

His speed was even faster than what Chu Xiu had seen in the recordings before! The enemy was never an unchanging NPC; they could also upgrade and become stronger!

In just a moment, he vanished from where he stood, and when Chu Xiu captured his figure again, he was already two hundred meters away!

”So fast!”

Even Chu Xiu was startled. This astounding speed was definitely not inferior to the Colonel! In the face of such speed, his Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand seemed like it was in slow motion, utterly impossible to hit!

Evidently, the four Gods thought the same. Chu Xiu could even sense, unlike previous battles, that there were a large number of consciousnesses resembling his Divine Sense observing the scene. These consciousnesses were like tendrils extending from the souls of the four Gods, helping them grasp every change in the arena’s situation.

Clearly, they were also curious about what methods Chu Xiu possessed that gave him the courage to boast so boldly!

Under the watchful eyes of the numerous Gods, Chu Xiu took a deep breath, his mana rapidly surging, and a slender Demon Saber swiftly formed in his hand!

It was the Sin Punishing Demon Saber!

But that wasn’t all. After the saber took form, his Golden Embryo Origin within began to deplete, infusing into the saber. With the infusion of the Golden Embryo Origin, the Sin Punishing Demon Saber underwent some sort of evolution, and its already formidable aura surged even higher!

An eerie green light flashed amidst the Demonic Qi, and when the Golden Embryo Origin depleted by two-thirds, the new Demon Saber in Chu Xiu’s hand fully formed. Compared to before, its aura was even more frenzied, the condensed destructive power almost spilling out.

At the same time, countless intricate runes floated around the blade, seemingly forming some kind of divine restriction.

The True Demon Saber, requiring the consumption of Life Essence to coalesce, Chu Xiu’s current strongest trump card, appeared in his hand for the first time!

Feeling the terrifying power surging within his palm, Chu Xiu even felt that now he could cleave a mountain in half with a single strike!
