Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

But the tribulation was like maggots clinging to bones. After shattering half of its body, countless tiny lightning bolts formed a large net and rushed towards it at a speed far beyond that of the Immortal Venerable!

”Ah!!!”

The Immortal Venerable let out an anguished cry and hurled the dharma artifact in its hand, forming a green screen. This screen could easily block the tribulation outside before, but in front of that lightning, it was like mere air, unable even to delay it for an instant!

”Bang!”

Surrounded by the dense electric net, the Immortal Venerable, now with only half its body remaining, was completely obliterated in the blink of an eye!

And this terrifying chain reaction was far from over. After easily annihilating one Immortal Venerable and two Immortal Monarchs, more tiny lightning bolts surged from their shattered bodies and rushed towards the next target!

Upon discovering that even these weakened tiny lightning bolts could not be blocked by any means, the ghosts could no longer suppress their inner fear. They fled at the fastest speed, ignoring the array!

There’s no chance of escaping that black lightning, but as long as they escape faster than the other ghosts, there’s a chance to survive!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Yet another ghost was hit. Its body began to crumble piece by piece from the arm. These heroic spirits used every trick they had, but they couldn’t even slow down the black lightning for an instant—not to mention resist it! The black lightning seemed to be rooted in causality, unavoidable, unstoppable, a weapon bound to hit!

Qingyunzi was scared out of his wits and immediately took out his life-saving card. He threw out a banana leaf fan as green as jade, which expanded from palm-size to resemble a small boat in an instant.

He clung to the fan, transforming into a green tunneling light and instantly distancing himself from the other ghosts.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

One by one, the ghosts exploded, but even after all eight heroic spirits were annihilated, several strands of lightning shot out, heading towards Qingyunzi!

Even though these remaining few strands of lightning were countless times smaller than the initial bolt, to Qingyunzi, they still seemed like a devastating Death God Scythe!

He fled frantically, but to his horror, he found that no matter how fast he moved, those lightning bolts were still closing the distance at a constant speed! This left Qingyunzi terrified, his heart icy cold!

In despair, Qingyunzi fiercely threw something back—it was a concentrated mass of Immortal Qi!

Long before the ghosts set out, Chu Xiu had already extracted the Immortal Qi from their hands. Immortal Qi’s restraint over tribulation was well-known, and Chu Xiu didn’t want to waste his resources on a mere test.

But it was apparent that Qingyunzi had secretly hidden a piece of Immortal Qi!

And when the Immortal Qi collided with the black lightning, it truly had an effect! The lightning seemed to encounter its nemesis, directly abandoning Qingyunzi and engaged in a battle with the Immortal Qi!

The two evaporated each other like water and fire!

But unfortunately, Qingyunzi didn’t dare to hide too much. This mass of Immortal Qi, intended as a life-saving card, was still insufficient to completely exhaust the black lightning’s power!

”Sizzle!”

A strand of lightning consumed all the Immortal Qi and rushed out swiftly!

In just the blink of an eye, the lightning was about to hit Qingyunzi’s back!

Despair crossed Qingyunzi’s face, but at this critical moment, a cloth bag suddenly descended from the sky, opening its mouth to block Qingyunzi!

It was the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag!

It was Chu Xiu who intervened in time to save him.

He was still thinking about the Taiyin Treasure Vault, so naturally, he couldn’t let Qingyunzi die here. Additionally, the sudden appearance of the black lightning intrigued Chu Xiu.

The power was extremely strong and terrifying, far surpassing any power he had seen so far. Just watching from afar gave him a creepy feeling—a warning from his Spiritual Sense, something that even Meng Xuanshu’s Law of Gravity never gave him.

Usually, Chu Xiu would avoid such a power, but to obtain the Tribulation Pearl, it was necessary to study it a bit.

And seeing the strange lightning so heavily weakened, he couldn’t help but have a thought.

If he could acquire this power for himself...

Considering the terrifying power of the black lightning, Chu Xiu decisively chose to make a move and try.

But what shocked him was that the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag, which could easily devour even Death Qi, seemed like nothing before the black lightning. Those black lightning bolts passed through the bag, as if they weren’t in this space, and continued to chase Qingyunzi!

”Such mysterious power!”

Chu Xiu was secretly alarmed, but he had already prepared a second move. With a wave of the Soul Banner, a High Tier Ghost General appeared in front of him!

The tribulation ignored any dead objects but was indeed attracted by living beings, directly penetrating into the High Tier Ghost General’s body, and at the moment it entered, Chu Xiu waved the Soul Banner again to collect the High Tier Ghost.

As the High Tier Ghost General was collected, the tribulation was also gathered. Chu Xiu focused on the Soul Banner, seeing the black lightning continually destroying the High Tier Ghost General’s body. But in the Soul Banner, not only were other ghosts sharing the damage, but there was also a lot of Divine Soul Power supplementing it. Faced with the black lightning, which now had less than one percent of its original power, they barely managed to hold up.

Thus, the mysterious lightning was left by Chu Xiu using some strange method.

Of course, while continuously depleting the ghosts, the tribulation’s power would also continuously lessen. Although Chu Xiu had tried to avoid conflict, he couldn’t preserve it for too long.
