Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 293: Chapter 172: The Power of the True Demon Saber (2)

But, he was still not satisfied!

As if he had rehearsed it thousands of times in his mind, Chu Xiu continued to infuse the remaining Golden Embryo Origin into the True Demon Saber while swallowing the Life Tree Essence Extract he had just exchanged from the Blood Pool Treasure Vault, then continuously channeling all the life abilities from the extract into the True Demon Saber!

With the dual support, the already powerful force of the True Demon Saber was enhanced once again!

The consciousness of the Four Gods tightly enveloped the surroundings of the True Demon Saber, seemingly marveling at this astonishing power, while at the same time, as Chu Xiu was gathering the True Demon Saber, the Red Scale Race gladiator had already charged forward to him!

At this distance, the Red Scale Gladiator could naturally feel the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from the Demon Saber in Chu Xiu’s hands, but he did not retreat at all, instead accelerating even faster towards Chu Xiu!

His thinking was simple, no matter how powerful that saber was, as long as it didn’t hit him, it was equivalent to nothing!

The Red Scale Gladiator widened his eyes, his attention intensely focused, capturing Chu Xiu’s every move!

The ”consciousness tendrils” extended by the Four Gods became more intense, everyone curious as to how Chu Xiu would strike the Red Scale Race known for their speed!

Yet under the watchful eyes of the four divine beings, Chu Xiu merely lightly raised his hand and swung toward the Red Scale Gladiator without any embellishments!

”Too slow!”

The Red Scale Gladiator sneered.

Actually, Chu Xiu’s speed was not slow, it should be around 1500.

But such speed seemed akin to slow motion in his eyes, confident that in terms of speed alone, he wouldn’t be outdone by a creature of 5000 Constitution!

A speed difference of more than three times, how could he be struck?

With a sharp whistle, the Red Scale Gladiator sharply turned, attempting to dodge and avoid the strike, while his left arm lit up in dazzling golden light, ready to execute a deadly blow on Chu Xiu with a blade extending from his forearm!

Yet at this moment, an eerie scene occurred; just as the Red Scale Gladiator tried to move, he suddenly felt an immense resistance pressing from all directions!

He looked up sharply in shock, discovering an innumerable, densely clustered array of invisible chains had somehow appeared around him, sealing all surrounding spaces; not merely invisible but lacking physical form altogether! Only when attempting to move could their presence be felt, as if—

As if the space was locked!

This absurd notion rose in the Red Scale Gladiator’s mind as he roared fiercely, the dark golden runes underneath his scales shone brightly once more, unleashing a tremendous force to attempt an escape!

However, he quickly and despairingly realized that under those locked chains, his speed was reduced by numerous times, unable to escape the coverage of Chu Xiu’s blade, helplessly watching as the saber radiating immense energy descended upon him like inescapable divine retribution!

”Boom!”

With an earth-shattering boom, a massive fissure appeared in front of Chu Xiu, a thousand-square-meter arc was utterly destroyed, the concentrated destructive energy disintegrating the hard bluestone tiles into the most basic dust!

When the dust settled, before Chu Xiu lay the bifurcated corpse of the Red Scale Gladiator, his remaining parts charred into charcoal under the high temperature, those once glistening red scales now resembling thoroughly burnt charcoal, crumbling into ashes at a touch.

”Such is the power of the True Demon Saber.”

Even Chu Xiu himself was visibly shocked as he looked at the ravine-like chasm in front of him that seemed to have been slashed out of nowhere.

This strike was his strongest method with nothing held back, containing not only extreme destructive energy but also terrifying power to lock space!

Ordinary Demon Sabers could only draw enemies towards the blade, albeit with immense suction, but still inadequate for opponents comparable to the King Tier!

However, the True Demon Saber could lock space while attracting!

Though not a true spatial law lock, just special restrictions forming a similar effect, it was still astonishing enough.

And it was based on this that he dared to accept the wager.

Because from the previous recordings, Chu Xiu had noticed that the Red Scale Gladiator had only reached Colonel, or King Tier level in terms of speed, but was far lacking in power.

After all, he was just a Fierce Tier Level 9; advancing becomes increasingly hard later on, this was normal.

So he guessed that the opponent had no means to break through his True Demon Saber’s lock.

To be sure, he consumed another bottle of Life Tree Essence Extract to further enhance the power of the True Demon Saber.

And he was right, the frightening power of the True Demon Saber, with one slice, cut the 59th ranked gladiator into two!

Taking a light breath, Chu Xiu looked up to see the Four Gods were left in place, the suspended consciousness tendrils hanging near him, evidently, this strike shocked them too.

A little less than half a month after advancing, he returned to the Bloody Arena and with one strike defeated the 59th ranked gladiator, such astonishing growth speed, probably not seen often even in their long lifetimes.

Eventually, the Four Gods seemed to come to their senses, three amongst them exhibiting intense fluctuations, emitting sharp cries like boiling steam, then vanishing, leaving only the shadow of the Endless Blood Pool still in the sky, excitedly shooting one blood pillar after another into the heavens.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu’s vision blurred, the arena disappeared, and he found himself back in the arena.

At the same time, a flood of notifications streamed past his ear!

[Victory in combat, reward basic participation points: 500*3]

[Your ranking rose to 59, reward ranking points: 15480*3]

[You received wager rewards from the Endless Blood Pool: Cause and Effect Points*87600, Ancient Blood*117]

[You received a special reward from the Endless Blood Pool: Primordial Blood*1]

[The Endless Blood Pool’s attention on you increased!]

[The Master of Decay’s attention on you increased!]

[The Ancient Tree Spirit’s attention on you increased!]

[The Demon Luo Descendants’ attention on you increased!]

A series of notifications made Chu Xiu reveal an unusually ecstatic expression!

Braving the risk to up the ante was not in vain, high risk brought high reward!

An enormous amount of points, Cause and Effect Points, and Ancient Blood!

These could not only allow him to exchange for the Legendary Equipment he longed for but also exchange for a High Tier Blessing and cultivate another level of Golden Flesh and Nether Bone!

Besides that, there was also the special reward promised by the Blood Pool!

Chu Xiu eagerly looked at the drop of scarlet blood before him.

[Primordial Blood: Consuming will transform your race into a ”Blood Demon”, adding the profession ”Blood God Attendant (S)”, granting ten random Blood Demon-exclusive talents and traits, and automatically entering ’Ascension Sequence 413’.]

[Evaluation: A drop of blood from the true body of the Endless Blood Pool, a treasure every Blood Demon dreams of.]

The information before his eyes made Chu Xiu take a deep breath.

Unquestionably, this was a treasure of immeasurable value! The effect was almost overwhelmingly powerful!

It could transform one’s race directly into a Blood Demon, grant ten talents and traits immediately! And even automatically possess an Ascension Sequence!

Without a doubt, as long as Chu Xiu consumed it, his power would instantly skyrocket! And his cultivation path would be smooth sailing henceforth, encountering no trouble at all at least until reaching Heroic Spirit! Even Heroic Spirit cultivation would be much easier than for others!

It’s safe to say, 99.9999...% of Awakened would not hesitate at all to consume it, hesitating even for a second would be disrespectful to this Secret Treasure.

What’s wrong with becoming a Blood Demon? What’s wrong with not being human?

With such powerful strength, these are ”small matters” that can be overlooked.

Not to mention, Blood Demons themselves are highly malleable, capable of being shaped into various forms.

However, this Secret Treasure was unexpectedly given to Chu Xiu.

”For a Cultivator, no matter how powerful the strength, nothing beats what you cultivate yourself bit by bit.”

Without any hesitation, Chu Xiu stored the treasure away.

He had worldly experiences.

No matter how strong Blood Demons are, can they surpass Gods and Demons?

But even powerful Gods and Demons are merely one among millions of war puppets under the Supreme Demon Lord, how could he trade future prospects for immediate gains before him?

Changing his race to Blood Demon, who knows what impact it would have on his cultivation of the Demon Inheritance, so naturally, he wouldn’t risk it.

Of course, this didn’t mean this drop of blood was now useless, even just to trade it would surely bring in many who would exchange for it with Legendary Equipment!

”Also...”

Chu Xiu thought of the description of the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine.

Just placing the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine at the birthplace of the Blood Pool can upgrade the tier of this Myth Artifact.

So, if he fed it a drop of Primordial Blood, what transformation would occur?
