Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Back then, Chu Xiu began refining directly to increase his battle strength, which essentially caused a flaw in his foundation.

However, even with these flaws, the Purgatory Demon Corpse still possesses terrifying battle strength, crushing the domain of those at the same tier, with physical strength not weaker than a demigod, and top-level divine techniques that accompany the Purgatory Demon Corpse!

In terms of overall battle strength, it is enough to rival those ranked lower among the Horned Demon Generals!

Previously, the Purgatory Demon Corpse could only assist, but now, it can truly stand alone against demigods!

This is the profoundness of demon inheritance!

The restoration of the Ghostly Legion and the refining of the Purgatory Demon Corpse have added two demigod-level battle strengths for Chu Xiu, making his heart more at ease.

Calculating the time, it’s almost right; Chu Xiu returns to You City.

Jiang Miaoyin, the young girl, is waiting at the city gate for him, and half of her arm has already been invaded by death qi, indicating she has ventured into some perilous places.

As soon as she sees Chu Xiu, she eagerly shows off by taking out a pile of Yin Stones.

Chu Xiu glanced at them, roughly seven pounds, which given Jiang Miaoyin’s abilities, meant she must have put in considerable effort to obtain so many Yin Stones.

He was unreserved in taking them, raising his hand to absorb them, and then injected a stream of Golden Embryo Origin into Jiang Miaoyin’s body, dispelling the death qi within her.

Seeing this, Jiang Miaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief; although she knew Chu Xiu would likely not abandon her, the feeling of being gradually turned into a living dead by the death qi was terrifying enough to set her mind adrift.

”Stay near You City for the time being. Once I finish refining the artifact, we will leave,” Chu Xiu said.

Jiang Miaoyin nodded repeatedly.

Chu Xiu no longer spoke further, proceeding toward the deepest part of the Immortal Palace.

Upon arrival, the ghost creatures of the Immortal Palace, who had been waiting for some time, enthusiastically led him into a great hall.

At this moment, thirty-three ghost creatures were already sitting inside.

These ghost creatures, although all were King Tier, each exuded incredibly powerful auras!

Even among King Tier, the gaps between them were vast, and according to the division of Abyssal Monsters, they can be categorized into ordinary King Tier, elite King Tier, and leader King Tier.

General Awakened ones possess elite King Tier strength, among which top-level King Tier can reach leader King Tier.

But there’s another type of King Tier, stronger than a leader! Just like those with highly elevated person status such as an Asura.

In this category are the offspring of gods, SSS-level Awakened ones, or direct descendants from a major clan like Jiang Miaoyin, who have many cards up their sleeves.

Chu Xiu was unsure what this type of existence was called, so he simply classified them as strong leaders.

Of the thirty-three ghost creatures here, the weakest was the leopard ghost Chu Xiu had seen a few days ago, which, despite using many artifacts, only managed to climb one-third of the Holy Mountain.

Yet even so, its aura absolutely reached the level of a leader King Tier.

More than ten of the remaining ghost creatures were at the strong leader level!

This is simply an unimaginable scenario. Could it be that there are so many beings here that are close to a god’s person status?

Even though these ghost creatures are incredibly powerful, each one is more modest, more courteous than the other; upon seeing Chu Xiu enter, they warmly greeted him.

Chu Xiu calmly returned the courtesies one by one.

After some idle conversation and observation, he noticed some nuances.

According to these ghost creatures, no matter how long they cultivate, they can’t become immortals unless they enter the Penglai Immortal Realm!

Some ghost creatures have been cultivating here for over a millennium, yet they remain at the King Tier, having just condensed their soul body to an extremely solid state.

This led Chu Xiu’s mind to entertain an absurd thought.

The situation with these ghost creatures seems identical to himself!

Climbing the Holy Mountain equates to participating in a trial.

And failing the trial and attempting to break through independently subjects one to the Abyss’s malice, forcibly halting any breakthrough attempts regardless of cultivation strength!

Recalling the Abyss-like aura he sensed from that peculiar stone bead...

Chu Xiu vaguely felt he was close to some deep secrets.

It’s just that now these secrets are shrouded in a veil, requiring someone to help him uncover them.

”Bang!”

As he silently pondered, the door was pushed open again.

A broad figure with an odd appearance and a long tail trailing behind walked in.

This was the highest representative below immortals in the Immortal Palace, one of the ten Immortal Envoys.

It glanced at everyone and, after ensuring each had arrived timely, nodded in satisfaction.

”The Immortal Monarch has arrived.”

It said.
