Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chu Xiu was momentarily stunned, and when he focused his gaze, he still saw the wooden door in front of him, but he could clearly sense a flame burning behind it.

No, it was more like a slowly rising sun! As Chu Xiu watched the sun behind the door, it seemed to grow brighter, more dazzling, gradually becoming as unbearable to look at as the midday sun!

Almost instinctively, golden light appeared in Chu Xiu’s eyes, as if provoked like a king, and the Burning Blood Golden Eyes lit up spontaneously!

Separated by a door, he stared into the distance at the mysterious demigod!

But just a few seconds later, he felt a piercing pain in his eyes, almost bringing tears!

This filled him with shock!

This was the first time since mastering this Secret Technique that Chu Xiu felt suppressed!

In the past, his Burning Blood Golden Eyes had encountered setbacks, but they were due to differences in power intensity. Ever since developing the Divine-Demonic Foundation, he had never felt a gap in person.

”Bang!”

Finally, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but take half a step back, embedding his foot deeply into the floor.

At the same time, a woman’s light laughter came from inside the room, ”Interesting.”

The next moment, the flame within the room vanished, and his eyes returned to normal.

Blinking his slightly sore eyes, Chu Xiu suppressed his inner shock and said deeply, ”Senior, even if you don’t wish to trade with a junior like me, there was no need to act like this, right?”

The woman did not reply but suddenly asked, ”How is Chen Yuan?”

”Chen Yuan?”

These two words left Chu Xiu momentarily stunned, a strange feeling arising within him.

Yes, since this senior did not abandon Chen Yuan initially, why hadn’t she met with her? Previously it could have been explained by being lost, but now with all the Heroic Spirits gathered at the command center, there’s no reason not to see Chen Yuan.

But if this senior actually doesn’t care about Chen Yuan, then why bring her up now?

After pondering briefly, Chu Xiu said, ”Miss Chen is doing well.”

The person inside the room responded with an ”Mm” and said, ”I don’t like owing favors. I’ve seen the recordings from before; you saved my people, so I’ll make a gesture in return.”

”As you said, one million Cause and Effect Points.”

Hearing this, Chu Xiu was momentarily stunned, then exceedingly delighted. He originally saved Chen Yuan intending to extort this naive girl a bit, never expecting an unexpected gain now.

He quickly asked, ”May I use other items to offset the Cause and Effect Points, Senior?”

”You probably don’t have anything I want on you.”

”How about one Independent Anchor Point?” Chu Xiu proposed.

”Oh?” The person in the room seemed surprised, ”You have such an item?”

After pondering for a moment, the person inside said, ”Then let it be so.”

With those words, the door opened, and behind it was an eerie mist, and at the doorway, lay the corpse of the Demigod Horned Demon!

Afraid of the person changing their mind, Chu Xiu quickly placed the Independent Anchor Point on the ground. As the anchor point was absorbed into the mist, Chu Xiu also retrieved the Demigod Horned Demon’s body.

”Thank you, Senior,” he said, clasping his fists together.

”Not necessary. I’ll trouble you to take care of Chen Yuan next.”

”If you can ensure her safety, I have further rewards for you.”

Naturally, Chu Xiu agreed repeatedly.

The person inside said no more, and the door shut tightly with a ”bang.”

Without lingering, Chu Xiu left the command building and quickly headed towards the designated location of his mission.

The area his team was responsible for was the eastern suburb of Peng City. Though it was a suburb, given the city’s development, there were plenty of tall buildings and skyscrapers equipped with advanced defense facilities.

The government had deployed twenty thousand troops here, using these reinforced concrete structures to erect a solid line of defense.

Simultaneously, a large number of Awakened individuals participated in the defense, including a total of thirteen Heroic Spirits. Moreover, there were more than three thousand King Tier and General Tier! This did not even include the support teams!

In short, the government had gathered heavy troops here, determined to keep the enemy out of the urban area!

Chu Xiu flickered and arrived on top of a three-hundred-meter skyscraper. On the rooftop platform, Ella and Chen Yuan had already arrived ahead and were gazing into the distance.

”How’s the situation?” Chu Xiu inquired.

”Not good.” Ella shook her head, gesturing Chu Xiu to look into the distance.

At the edge of Black Death Prison, squads of Horned Demons were assembling, just as the government predicted, preparing for a full-scale assault!

The once-tall towers had been dismantled into hundreds of pieces, each resembling a giant heavy armored vehicle, with shields of black mist forming a tight defense around the Horned Demons inside the ”vehicles.”

Not only had the tower structures been dismantled, but the bizarre cannons emitting dark lightning, which Chu Xiu encountered during his past assault on the towers, had also been moved into these ”war vehicles”!

The power of these bizarre cannons, Chu Xiu knew all too well, was absurdly fast, capable of piercing even Chen Yuan in a Frenzy state! Even Chu Xiu couldn’t withstand a direct hit unscathed!

These cannons were akin to the Celestial Punishment Divine Light, specifically designed to contend with High Tier powerhouses!

Gazing at the lined-up war chariots and the massed army of three hundred thousand Horned Demons, even from over ten kilometers away, Chu Xiu could feel the oppressive dread.

Let alone, the advanced power of the opponents also far exceeded that of humans! Overhead was a terrifying battleship!

”This is an inevitably losing war, and the rout might come sooner than we expect.” Ella shook her head regretfully.
