Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

These two pieces of equipment, the [Skywalker’s Boots], are somewhat similar to the Mist Step inheritance Chu Xiu had in the Mortal Tier, but much stronger. When driven with full force, they enable rapid movement in the air, like Iron Man’s thrusters.

Paired with [Garuda’s Wings], they are barely able to compensate for Chu Xiu’s lack of movement speed, which is his greatest gain from this journey.

Of course, it’s only a minor compensation. To think that two General-level Legendary items could match the speed of Heroic Spirit Level is nothing but a pipe dream.

As for the other item, although it was of little use to Chu Xiu, since it’s a primary weapon, it could sell for a quite good price.

And this is far from over!

”The Upper Three Grades [Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace] and [Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array] can now impart traits to Legendary Equipment!”

Without further hesitation, Chu Xiu continued to focus on enhancement!

Half a month passed, and even with Chu Xiu’s level of Spirit, he felt a touch of fatigue. At last, he finished enhancing all his equipment with [Demonization] and [Power of the Four Symbols]!

The enhancement on each piece wasn’t particularly substantial, but combined, it elevated his strength to another level!

Furthermore, these enhanced equipment could fetch tens of billions more if sold in the future.

Additionally, the [Profound Evil Glaze Armor] and [Great Sun Guard Shield] were successfully repaired.

”Now, I’m truly decked out in Legendary Equipment,” Chu Xiu couldn’t help but marvel.

He was indeed armed to the teeth with Legendary Equipment, boasting more than ten such items—an extravagance unmatched by any General Tier.

Satisfied, Chu Xiu patted himself and exhaled deeply. He sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his depleted Mana and Spirit.

At the same time, he also began to ponder his next moves.

The top priority now was to kill that supermassive ghost.

As long as he could devour this behemoth that had accumulated soul energy for two millennia, Chu Xiu’s Ghostly Legion would expand to an incredible degree; the emergence of a Ghost King wouldn’t even be surprising.

However, although Chu Xiu’s strength had recently improved, it hadn’t fundamentally transformed. His odds of victory against the ghost were still slim.

Thinking of this, he opened his communication wristband to contact Jiang Miaoyin, but found that she had already sent him a long stream of messages.

The messages included recent developments in the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World, various new information, and an analysis by her family’s advisory team regarding the supermassive ghost.

There wasn’t much worthy of note—just progress updates from other teams—except for one part that caught Chu Xiu’s attention.

”Senior, Elder Wang said he discovered clues leading to the bottom of the furnace, which might provide a direct path to the deepest layer!”

”But he doesn’t dare explore it alone, so he asked me to get your opinion first.”

This news surprised Chu Xiu a bit.

The furnace’s bottom was where the strongest of the Exorcist Civilization waged a last stand against three Heroic Spirits.

There lie four Heroic Spirits’ corpses and over a hundred King Tier!

Of course, it’s also where the entire Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace World’s strongest Ghost King emerged from.

Chu Xiu would not risk going there, not even for the greatest of rewards. He immediately declined.

He then scrolled down to the analysis section from the Jiang family advisory team:

”Senior, the advisory team suggests that teaming up with the other two Heroic Spirits might grant us over a 50% chance of success in killing the ghost, but only if we all use our trump cards to fight desperately.”

”Otherwise, we’re likely to just heavily injure the ghost and watch as it escapes or repairs itself using the local Yin Qi.”

”And if we were to team up with other King Tier individuals, the chances would further rise, reaching over 70%.”

”So, senior, should I contact others?”

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment before giving Jiang Miaoyin a negative reply: ”It’s not urgent.”

Chu Xiu’s strength was increasing rapidly; he’d rather keep this big fish for a while longer than share it with others.

No need to mention, just passing the King Tier trial would raise his power another notch.

”Alright.”

Receiving Chu Xiu’s response, Jiang Miaoyin replied almost instantly, as if she had already returned to Blue Star to rest.

She had also gained considerable benefits; by their next meeting, her strength would likely see an enhancement as well.

”Then, the only thing to do is to prioritize other directions.”

Without further thought, Chu Xiu began to consider other means of enhancing his strength.

He quickly devised a plan consisting of four tasks: first, continue selling off assets to see if he could gather materials for refining an Artifact or that Mythical Equipment; second, the Bloody Arena; third, the King Tier trial; and fourth, continue honing his Demon Energy Soldiers to Perfection and expanding the Ghostly Legion while repairing the Blood Demon Incarnation.

”Hmm, among the newly unlocked inheritances, there are indeed a few Artifacts suitable for dealing with supermassive ghosts. But unfortunately, the resources required for their refinement are enormous, even more than for Mythical Equipment!”

”The refining of Artifacts and Mythical Equipment can be deferred for now. Firstly, I don’t have much left to trade, and secondly, due to my own level, even if they were refined, the improvement wouldn’t be significant.”

”I’ll prioritize honing my abilities, then work up a score in the arena, and finally enter the King Tier trial in a state of full readiness!”

Chu Xiu quickly made his decision.

In fact, he could start the King Tier trial right now, and even on the highest difficulty, his chances of passing were high. However, Chu Xiu still had weaknesses, especially in aspects like movement speed and reconnaissance ability, so he didn’t want to take unnecessary risks.
