Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Finally, it is through crossing the tribulation that one tests their own Dao. If successful, it means their Dao is perfect, and they can achieve the immortal position! This is also the ultimate pursuit of all cultivators.

But this is very strange indeed.

It means that reaching the Divinity Transformation stage for a cultivator is equivalent to becoming a demigod, while Harmonization equates to merging the law with a Celestial King, and reaching Mahayana and even crossing the heavenly tribulation means becoming a god!

However....

”I’m not even at the Golden Core stage right now, and I can fight demigods?!”

Even though Chu Xiu had advanced various cultivation techniques ahead of time due to Cause and Effect Points, there shouldn’t be such a huge disparity!

Not to mention, according to some records in his mind, Divinity Transformation Cultivators possess great power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, a power that demigods cannot match.

Though Chu Xiu has not fought with Celestial Kings and Outer Realm Demons, he instinctively feels they are nowhere near the strength of Divinity Transformation, at most comparable to Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This left Chu Xiu puzzled, standing still, lost in deep thought.

Ashtar did not interrupt him but watched quietly from the side.

After a long time, Chu Xiu finally realized something, a shocking suspicion arose in his heart.

Abyss.

He keenly discovered a fact that in the recorded narratives of cultivation, the so-called Law Fragments were never mentioned.

Every cultivator is meant to cultivate a Primordial Spirit and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

No one knows exactly what the Heavenly Dao is; it is a profound force that maintains the operation of all things in the universe.

But what if the Heavenly Dao were to be transformed into data, into a form visible to the naked eye?

Thinking of this, a deep chill spread in Chu Xiu’s heart.

At first, he merely considered the data transformation of the Abyss like a game hack, but now he suddenly realized the terrifying extent of the Abyssal Power!

Even the so-called Heavenly Dao can be transformed into data!

If that’s the case, what use is the strongest power before the Abyss? No matter if his power is enhanced a thousand, ten thousand, or even a billion times! It’s just a larger piece of data.

At this moment, Chu Xiu completely understood Meng Xuanshu’s words.

[Following the Abyss’ rule, you can never defeat the Abyss.]

”So, this is what it means...”

”No wonder, it’s something even a Divine King cannot accomplish...”

Chu Xiu’s expression dimmed.

He also finally realized why being devoured by the Abyss is an inescapable end, and why everyone can only delay this process as much as possible.

Even the Heavenly Dao has been turned into data, how can one rebel? What meaning does rebellion have?

How can a piece of data floating within a program resist the program itself?

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu felt overwhelmed by great despair.

On the opposite side, Ashtar, who had been observing Chu Xiu, showed a puzzled expression.

He couldn’t understand why, after just explaining some upgrades, Chu Xiu suddenly appeared so uncontrollably disheartened.

”Could it be he thinks the path to divinity is too long and hopeless in this lifetime? Tsk, such fragile resolve.”

Ashtar curled his lips.

The information he provided included several cases of becoming a god, each requiring the seizure of all Law Fragments and thousands of years of accumulation to finally become a true deity.

For the short history of humans, this indeed is too lengthy.

No matter how, he could never imagine Chu Xiu’s ambition would be so great as to want to defy the Abyss itself.

After a slight pause, Ashtar spoke: ”The path to divinity is indeed extremely tough, or else there wouldn’t be so many Outer Realm Demons roaming the Abyss for tens of thousands of years seeking the opportunity to become a True God.”

”But you are different. You have been recognized by Lord of the Blood Pool, and a broad path to divinity has been laid before you.”

”To be honest with you, I’m actually envying you to death. Getting to become a god through fierce competition is something many strong entities dream of but cannot achieve.”

Ashtar couldn’t hide the envy in his eyes anymore as he nearly gritted his teeth: ”And you even received further opportunity!”

”The Lord of the Blood Pool invites you to become a subordinate god under him.”

”This means if you can defeat other Blood Demons and gather the Law Fragments, you will not just become the lowest rank of Servant God who can only borrow Law Powers from the Main God, but you will essentially command the law and have battle power almost indistinguishable from a True God!”

”In the future, if my lord ascends to Divine King, you might even follow to become a Main God!”

”This is the supreme glory pursued by millions of gladiators; never before in thousands of years have I seen the lord extend such an invitation to a frail creature below Heroic Spirit!”

Ashtar looked at Chu Xiu coldly: ”I hope this time, you won’t fail to appreciate kindness.”

The words of Ashtar caused Chu Xiu to slowly raise his head, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

From the information Ashtar provided, he already had a general understanding of how difficult the path to divinity was; on Blue Star, the eight Celestial Kings wouldn’t be surprised to never become gods in their lifetime.

If there is no hope in opposing the Abyss, then following this already safe path seems to be an option worth considering?
