Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The chance of a lifetime?

Hearing this, Chu Xiu almost burst out laughing.

Does this Ashtar take him for a fool?

How could you give your life-and-death enemy an opportunity?

Seeing Chu Xiu’s disdainful expression, Ashtar was straightforward and said directly, ”I’ll be honest, I indeed want to kill you, but I currently don’t have the ability to do so.”

”However, my injuries will recover in at most a year. By then, you can hide in your hometown, but your civilization has nowhere to hide!”

”Could it be that you can bear to watch your civilization perish with your own eyes?”

As he finished speaking, Chu Xiu shrugged indifferently, ”I can distinguish between civilization and life.”

”So I have a proposal,” Ashtar said, ”If I don’t make a move myself, do you then have the courage to defend your civilization?”

”Oh?” Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

”From now on, I won’t personally intervene but instead will persuade the other Blood Demons here to attack your civilization. Wouldn’t this be considered a chance of a lifetime?”

Ashtar’s words made Chu Xiu squint slightly.

If what he said were true, it indeed would be a grand opportunity.

Because this would mean Chu Xiu could rely on his Civilization Domain to battle it out with the Blood Demons!

Chu Xiu had never underestimated these upper-position creatures. Even when sealed as a King Tier, a Blood Demon Calamity with only a core remaining could learn Buddhist Technique and use nuclear weapons to escape. Its talent and intelligence were top-notch.

And this was just a lower-position Blood Demon!

Those top-ranked Blood Demons are absolutely terrifying enemies; once they become Demigods, they are at least Strong Demigods or higher.

More importantly, through mutual slaughter and fusion, Blood Demons can continue to grow, eventually becoming beings infinitely close to Gods!

The thing Chu Xiu feared the most was the emergence of an extremely powerful Blood Demon, sweeping over the other seventy Blood Demons in a short period, its power unimaginable and undefeatable by Chu Xiu. Even Ashtar at his peak wouldn’t be comparable.

But currently, only half a month ago, the first Demigod Blood Demon appeared, perfectly within Chu Xiu’s manageable range, not to mention that Ashtar’s suggestion allowed him to fight within the Civilization Domain!

The importance of the battlefield goes without saying. Whether it’s the Magma Blood Demons or Domain Ghosts, they all rely on special terrains to make even Heroic Spirit experts helpless.

The difference here, minus and plus, is enormous, and Chu Xiu certainly couldn’t ask for more.

However...

”I dare not believe in your assurances.” Chu Xiu said indifferently.

”You don’t need to believe me; you only need to trust in the ability of your backing.”

Ashtar pointed at himself, ”I was hit by that spear, and it will be difficult to fully recover within a year. In three months, I’ll summon the Blood Demons to attack your civilization.”

Chu Xiu sneered, ”You don’t take me for a fool, do you? You say a year, but what if you have a Secret Technique and recover in three months, wouldn’t I be walking straight into a trap for you to kill?”

Ashtar seemed to have anticipated Chu Xiu’s question and calmly replied, ”That’s simple too; you just need to send someone trustworthy to keep following me.”

”Once the battle begins, I will wait for the result a thousand miles away. Even if I recover my full strength, you will have enough time to withdraw safely.”

Surprisingly, these words made Chu Xiu stroke his chin and ponder.

This seems feasible, but he didn’t believe Ashtar would be so kind-hearted.

Chu Xiu quickly figured out the key.

The difficulty lies in the person tracking.

With Ashtar’s ability, if only a Low Tier Awakened one or an Artifact is used for long-distance tracking, he can easily use Illusion Techniques to deceive and sneak over secretly.

To firmly fix a powerful Divine Envoy...it would take at least a Demigod!

But which Demigod would tail Ashtar for Chu Xiu?

Even if Ashtar doesn’t make a move before achieving his goal, if Chu Xiu is killed by the Blood Demons, tracking loses all meaning, and if Chu Xiu withstands the Blood Demons, who can guarantee that the furious Ashtar won’t intervene?

In essence, it’s a nearly hopeless, extremely risky task!

”I’ll do it.”

Just when Chu Xiu was hesitating, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Chu Xiu was taken aback, then looked at him in astonishment, almost not trusting his own ears.

”Vengeance senior, you...”

”Don’t act like it’s a heartbreaking farewell,” Vengeance laughed while waving his hand, ”I’ve explored the Abyss for over thirty years; this accumulated foundation is not a joke.”

”Though this person is strong, we, the Human Race Demigods, aren’t easy to bully either. Even if unmatched, there’s still some assurance of self-preservation.”

Vengeance’s words left Chu Xiu silent for a moment.

He gazed at this powerful division head of the Investigation Bureau, seemingly wanting to see through his inner thoughts.

A Demigod, willing to risk himself for the sake of protecting his civilization?

He furrowed his brows and thought for quite a while, finally letting out a deep breath and cupping his fists, ”Then thank you, senior.”

Then he turned to Ashtar and said aloud, ”I can agree to your request, but I have one condition.”

”Speak.”

”That is, the number of Blood Demons attacking must not exceed five.”

”And the decisive battle must be set for half a year later.”

Although Chu Xiu is greedy, he is still self-aware.

If Ashtar brought all seventy-one remaining Blood Demons, then Chu Xiu could not withstand them no matter what.
