Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The Sinful Fire was transmitted through the chain and extended beyond the Domain!

The Heroic Spirit Horned Demon let out a miserable scream, hastily deploying a Shield to block, while the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon beside it also reacted quickly, slashing a Heavy Saber toward the chain!

However, as the two collided, although the chain vibrated intensely, there was no sign of breaking; instead, a wisp of Sinful Fire climbed onto the Horned Demon’s shoulder the moment they clashed!

A look of horror flashed in the Horned Demon’s eyes, and it quickly summoned Spiritual Power to suppress the bizarre flame, while preparing to slash the chain once more.

But at this moment, the Purgatory Demon Corpse gave a fierce tug, and with its Constitution exceeding fifty thousand, the bound Horned Demon had no power to resist and was directly pulled into the Domain!

[Torture Device: Judge’s Curse Chain: A chain condensed from the Life essence of the Purgatory Demon Corpse. Before the Purgatory Demon Corpse dies, the chain won’t break. The object bound by the Curse Chain will continuously suffer the burning of Sinful Fire. Upon entering the Domain, it will attract all the Sinful Fires within!]

As the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon was dragged into the Sinful Fire Purgatory, a dense mass of black flames suddenly rose around it. These flames then seemed to have a life of their own and automatically rushed toward the Heroic Spirit!

Even more terrifying, the Sinful Fires that had burned ordinary Horned Demons and were randomly drifting within the Domain also seemed attracted, surging toward the sky!

This frightful scene made the bound Horned Demon struggle desperately. The terrifying power of the Heroic Spirit erupted continuously, yet it could not damage the chain in the slightest!

The continuous attacks from the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon merely caused the aura of the Purgatory Demon Corpse to slightly decline.

After all, even with poor completion of its Refining, it was still at the Demigod standard!

Moreover, after using Sinful Fire to refine so many Horned Demons, its Life Force had reached a new level!

Amidst the furious roars of the Horned Demon, the Sinful Fires gathered more and more, their power gradually reaching a horrifying value. The Shield frantically unleashed by the Horned Demon was burned through, and its body howled in agony under the scorching flames.

The other Horned Demons wanted to support, but two Elite Horned Demons were firmly entangled by Chu Xiu. Facing this formidable enemy, if they were distracted by rescue efforts, they could be taken by surprise at any time in the strongest burst.

As for the other Seven Rings Horned Demon, even if it went in, it would be hard-pressed to cut through the Judge’s Curse Chain and would only become the next soul in the Domain!

So, after hesitating for a moment, it gritted its teeth and charged towards Chu Xiu, planning to cooperate with the other two Horned Demons to capture the leader first!

”The idea is good, but unfortunately, it’s too slow.”

Before the Horned Demon could get close, Chu Xiu had already raised the Heavy Sword in his hand high!

In the next moment, as before, a surging and unstoppable Sword Qi roared out!

”Boom!”

Even though the two Eighth Ring Horned Demons had promptly mobilized all of their Magic Power to resist, they were still smashed by the torrent-like Sword Qi, spewing blood while flying backward!

At the same time, the Horned Demon in the Domain finally couldn’t hold on any longer. Surrounded by the raging Sinful Fires, it was burned to ashes alive.

Witnessing this scene, the expression in the eyes of the three Horned Demons could no longer be described as fear.

At this moment, they finally realized the chasm-like gap between themselves and Chu Xiu and understood that from beginning to end, they were never the Hunters, but Chu Xiu was!

They were just prey who deceived themselves into thinking they were Hunters!

At this point, one of the Eighth Ring Horned Demons suddenly, as if receiving an order, murmured, ”Retreat.”

As soon as the word fell, the other two Horned Demons showed a look of relief and quickly retreated.

Since they all retreated, even though the ordinary Horned Demons on the ground had the advantage, they naturally wouldn’t foolishly stay behind to be slaughtered by Chu Xiu, choosing instead to retreat along with the three.

Chu Xiu, of course, wouldn’t let go of this opportunity and drove the Demon Legion to launch a one-sided pursuit.

In the end, the Horned Demon Legion, after leaving behind a total of two thousand two hundred bodies, finally fled from this area in a miserable state.

And as they escaped beyond the field of vision, the flames on the Purgatory Demon Corpse slowly extinguished.

In fact, what these Horned Demons didn’t know was that although the Purgatory Demon Corpse was incredibly powerful, it was ultimately just a semi-finished product, merely triggering the Sinful Fire Purgatory by absorbing the homogenous Power from the Horned Demons.

And this Power, once used, was reduced bit by bit. In fact, after burning that Heroic Spirit to death, most of it had been consumed.

This wasn’t surprising; if the Purgatory Demon Corpse could easily evolve just through enemy killing, what was the point of Demon Cultivators painstakingly refining it?

So, if the remaining Horned Demons had fought to the death, Chu Xiu would indeed have been in some trouble; even if he achieved victory in the end, it would have come at a great cost.

Fortunately, even the commanders behind these Horned Demons were frightened by Chu Xiu and chose to retreat.

”To truly unleash the full power of the Sinful Fire Purgatory at will, I still need to continue refining it with Perfect Refining!” Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Of course, a completely refined Sinful Fire Purgatory would definitely contain much more Power than it does now. By then, it might form a true Death Domain covering ten kilometers in radius.

”It’s just that, to refine a Demigod Corpse, the amount of flesh and blood needed is probably astronomical.”

Chu Xiu shook his head; this couldn’t be rushed and would have to be slowly refined in the days to come.

He didn’t think much more about it and instead extended his Divine Sense to gather information from the surrounding area.

With the retreat of the three Heroic Spirits, the two Heroic Spirit Horned Demons entangled with Chen Yuan also retreated in time.

In theory, these two Horned Demons weren’t a match for Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan had consumed too much in the battle at the Black Tower and hadn’t recovered yet, unable to enter the Frenzy state, so she was actually being suppressed.

The victory on Chu Xiu’s side also managed to resolve the predicament for Chen Yuan.

Currently, with the Outer Realm Demons suffering a decisive defeat and retreating, to make a comeback, they would either need to deploy stronger forces or dispatch a Demigod.

But neither option is realistic; the former only has thirty thousand Horned Demons in this entire battle zone. Sending five thousand at once was already considered a substantial force, and if five thousand couldn’t win, how many more should be sent?

Moreover, opportunities in warfare pass quickly. If the Horned Demons can receive support, why can’t the government? Missing this chance makes the fight harder when the Green Lady’s plants regrow and spread.

As for dispatching a Demigod, it’s equally unlikely. To the Outer Realm Demons, ordinary Horned Demons are just endlessly regenerable cannon fodder, and even Heroic Spirits are merely more advanced cannon fodder.

But Demigods are the Personal Guards that the Outer Realm Demons have painstakingly accumulated over long ages!

You can tell from the previous seeds that targeted Heroic Spirits but not Demigods that Demigods can’t be easily converted!

If Demigods were rashly sent out and were ambushed like before, losing a few more, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry!

The Outer Realm Demons didn’t want to lose Demigods, hence creating so many diversions instead of launching a full-scale attack in the first place!

”So, unless there’s an unexpected event, the situation in this area should stabilize temporarily until another front collapses.”

”And even if a nearby front does collapse, it would take at least ten minutes for the impact to reach here.”

With this thought, Chu Xiu shifted his Divine Sense to the rear.

With the help of a new support squad, the evacuation speed increased significantly. Ten minutes was a bit tight, but not far off.

Chu Xiu’s mind moved, and instantly, all Ghosts dispersed to the surrounding refuge points.

Including these Ghosts, the evacuation would now be completed in under ten minutes without a problem.

In this way, this crisis was temporarily resolved.

Chu Xiu breathed a light sigh of relief. Although he didn’t particularly care about the lives of these civilians, saving thirty thousand lives was quite satisfying.

At least after this battle, his trust level in the eyes of the government would likely increase significantly, yielding unexpected benefits for Chu Xiu in the future.

Once the situation was confirmed to be stable, Chu Xiu could finally relax and began waving the Thousand Souls Banner and the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, collecting flesh and souls from the battlefield.

This was indeed a bumper harvest!

A total of two thousand two hundred Horned Demons’ flesh and souls, along with two Heroic Spirits!

Chu Xiu couldn’t even imagine how much the Ghostly Legion would expand after refining all these souls! Maybe even a Ghost King might be born!

And the Purgatory Demon Corpse would be further strengthened to an unimaginable level!

This even made Chu Xiu reveal a slight smile.

And the harvest wasn’t just limited to this!

Killing so many Horned Demons directly brought him a total of 2.6 million Cause and Effect Points and also made his Level soar once again!
