Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Tuoba Ye nodded. Although he didn’t agree in his heart, he wouldn’t deny Meng Xuanshu’s decision.

The group communicated telepathically, and in just an instant, they formulated their next plan. Three Alien Civilization Envoys stepped forward, and three Divine Bows of [Legend] level appeared in their hands. They drew their bows and notched their arrows, as three Spirit Arrows shot into the sky. The next moment, countless arrows rained down from the heavens!

”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Streaks of Spiritual Light pierced through Chu Xiu’s Demonic Qi platform, turning it into a leaky sieve!

This was the method the group decided on: through continuous consumption to kill the Civilization Seed. As long as the Civilization Seed’s vitality was reduced below 10%, the enemy would have no reason to fight desperately, and the group could easily complete their task.

And this wasn’t considered a violation of the rule, after all, their attack target was still Chu Xiu, and the Civilization Seed was merely collateral damage.

Close to two hours were left. For fifteen powerful Civilization Envoys, using area-of-effect skills to kill some ordinary people was a piece of cake. If Chu Xiu decided to hold firm now...

Can he protect twenty thousand people under the hands of fifteen powerful Civilization Envoys?

Absolutely impossible!

Some had already started anticipating the rewards to come.

But just as the Civilization Envoys were about to launch their next wave of attacks, suddenly, a loud explosion echoed on the field!

Under surprised gazes, the giant black platform suddenly burst into countless small black dots, scattering in all directions!

Tuoba Ye’s gaze sharpened as he focused intensely. Shocked, he discovered that among those small black dots, some were capable Awakened ones, but most were actually materialized Ghosts!

These Ghosts all had at least Warrior Tier strength, with nearly half at Fierce Tier! There were even those at General Tier!

They seemed to have been enhanced by some buff skill, moving at an incredible speed. Each Ghost, based on its strength, carried varying numbers of civilians, from single digits to hundreds, rapidly fleeing in different directions!

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu himself spread a pair of golden wings from his back and soared directly into the sky, his cold eyes glaring from afar at the group.

Despite the strong presence, he couldn’t intimidate the remaining fifteen Alien Civilization Envoys. They were merely a bit amazed.

”Unbelievable that after continuous attrition, this person still has so many Ghosts! Truly incredible.”

”No wonder he dared to challenge [Doomsday]. With such a number of Ghosts coupled with a united Battle Array, even against [Heroic Spirit], it would suffice for a temporary stalemate.”

Meng Xuanshu’s eyes flashed with a silver light. In a mere instant, he completed his analysis: ”11417 Warrior Tier, 2179 Fierce Tier, 21 General Tier, and 3 King Tier.”

”It seems that the previous days’ efforts only halved this man’s Summoned Creatures.”

”However, his energy loss must have been tremendous. Otherwise, there’d be no need for such a hasty escape.”

Tuoba Ye sneered: ”But for a Summoning Profession that relies on quantity to win, the most taboo is dividing their strength. These Ghosts dispersed, degrade from an elite legion to a mere rabble. Even facing the strongest among them, the King Tier, any one of us can easily suppress. It’s akin to self-sabotage.”

”However, it greatly increases the difficulty of our search,” one of the Civilization Envoys frowned.

These words indeed made the Civilization Envoys feel somewhat troubled. Even the weakest Warrior Tier Ghost, with Chu Xiu’s power boost, could easily reach a travel speed of two to three hundred kilometers per hour, not to mention the other Ghosts.

If these fellows are completely scattered and hidden, searching an area of 413 kilometers in radius is no joke.

While victory is still assured, it might extend to ten days, by which time the rewards each of them could earn might plummet to less than a quarter!

Therefore, they must be completely intercepted here!

”Brother Meng, isn’t it time to act?”

Meng Xuanshu said, ”This could be the enemy’s tactic to feign weakness and lure the enemy.”

Tuoba Ye was a bit anxious: ”We Awakened ones walk the Abyss, is there such a thing as perfect plans? Opportunities require taking risks!”

The group’s prior discussion seemed long, but it all occurred within a moment through telepathic exchange via the Abyssal Power. Meng Xuanshu pondered briefly, then suddenly flipped his wrist, producing a golden Talisman between his fingers, which he flung into the distance at high speed!

The Talisman’s speed was unbelievable, traversing over a hundred kilometers in just ten seconds! It shot into a massive Blood Lake!

Soon, the Blood Pool began to churn, and an enormous behemoth, hundreds of feet tall, rose from the Blood Lake!

Its appearance bore some resemblance to the Calamity Chu Xiu battled, standing like a colossal fleshy giant as towering as a mountain, resembling a skinless giant with its sinewy red muscles wrapped in a sticky membrane twitching in the air, with every inch of exposed crimson tissue oozing yellowish ooze.

Even more frightening were the hundreds of hundred-foot-long crimson tentacles exploding from its spine, wildly flailing in the foul wind, each possessing terrifying strength of tens of thousands of tons!

At this moment, the terrifying behemoth was absorbing the information from the golden Talisman in front of it.

”The prey is preparing to flee, should action be taken in advance?”

”However, ensure the main body remains hidden, only send subordinates to participate in the battle, and do not give the opponent an opportunity...”

It squinted its copper-furnace-like eyes slightly. The connection from its bloodline allowed its vision to traverse over a hundred kilometers, converging on the Blood Demon Followers at the front lines.

In just an instant, this powerful creature understood the situation.

”Once those civilians escape, the Trial Taker would have no further concerns. By then, capturing him alive would be a hundred times more difficult.”

”So the decisive moment is now!”

”Yet the outsiders’ objective is merely to kill the Trial Taker; they might not abide by the agreement with me...”

The Heroic Spirit Level brain allowed the Blood Demon to complete all risk-reward calculations in less than 0.1 seconds and rapidly made a decision.

With a thought, thirty-seven powerful auras suddenly soared from the Blood Demon Army a hundred kilometers away, all of them King Tier!

Blood Demon Followers!

These powerful beings assimilated by the Blood Demon no longer shared the uniform appearance of Blood Demon thralls but bore unique characteristics — some resembled Flying Heaven pythons tens of meters long, others were tangled networks of blood-red ancient trees.

These creatures, already exceedingly powerful King Tier beings before assimilation, after being transformed into Followers, not only retained their own Traits but also gained entirely new Traits from the Blood Demon, along with terrifying Life Force, elevating their strength even further!

As they appeared, they wasted no time flying toward Chu Xiu!

At the same time, the Civilization Envoys launched their attack from afar!

Arrow rain, meteors, fire pythons, various large-scale Magic descended from the skies like apocalyptic tribulations, enveloping the sky, charging straight at Chu Xiu!

Meanwhile, the scattered Ghosts and civilians hadn’t yet distanced themselves enough, forcing him to withstand the attack!

Chu Xiu’s eyes widened in fury, letting out a great shout, overwhelming Demonic Qi surged toward the sky, resembling a Demon Cultivator battling a Celestial God, withstanding the massive attack from fifteen Civilization Envoys solely on his own!

But to accomplish this was nothing short of a fantasy, as absorbing a large-scale Magic attack required energy and power much greater than the Magic itself! Like how dodging a cannonball is easy, but catching it mid-air and withstanding all its explosion force is a thousand times harder!

Under continuous attacks, the overwhelming Demonic Qi rapidly dissolved like a cotton trying to withstand a blaze; no matter how much there is, it can only be demolished!

Soon, the once boundless Demonic Qi thinned, revealing Chu Xiu’s frail silhouette within.

”Now’s the time!”

Tuoba Ye shouted, the Bronze Spear reappeared! Meanwhile, all the blood energy within him was roused, so dense that it nearly materialized. His Battle Marks across his body emitted a dazzling light, activated by the blood energy, continuously pouring into the spear in his hand. When the energy reached its peak, he suddenly hurled it!

”Whoosh!”

The spear seemed to pierce through space with such speed that even the Civilization Envoys couldn’t react. They only saw a lingering shadow across the sky, then in the next instant, Chu Xiu’s body was impaled!
