Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

”Boom.”

The whirlpool of tribulation clouds in the sky kept surging, as if brewing some world-ending power.

Chu Xiu lowered his body, cautiously approaching the tribulation clouds.

[Divine Living Armor] appeared on him, ready to activate at any moment; facing this terrifying tribulation thunder, he dared not take it lightly, fully prepared for everything.

Very soon, he surpassed the area that Qingyunzi and others had previously ventured deep into, yet the tribulation thunder still hadn’t descended. Clearly, the first wave of lightning summoned by Qingyunzi, along with the continuous refinement of death qi by Chu Xiu, had a substantial effect, significantly weakening the core area’s tribulation clouds.

However, Chu Xiu didn’t relax his vigilance at all. Layer upon layer of barriers unfolded beside him, cautiously probing towards the core area.

When he was less than three miles away from the massive cloud of tribulation, suddenly a flash of electric light flickered within the tribulation clouds, followed by a thunderous explosion as if tearing through the sky!

”Boom!”

Amidst the deafening noise, Chu Xiu’s face abruptly turned serious.

”It’s here!”

At the instant the thought fell, a pitch-black lightning bolt shot out from the tribulation clouds at an unimaginable speed, rushing towards Chu Xiu!

The speed of the tribulation thunder far exceeded anything Chu Xiu had ever seen, even surpassing Ashtar’s speed. In just the blink of an eye, it crossed thousands of meters, almost reaching Chu Xiu’s eyes!

Fortunately, Chu Xiu was already prepared, facing this lightning strike with composure. Raising his hand, a large amount of ghost qi rose in front of him, forming multiple protective shields!

This ghost qi is the foundation of the Ghost King’s domain. Although it cannot compare to Divine-Demonic Power or Artifact Origin, it is also a type of advanced power.

Previously, Chu Xiu relied on ghost qi to trap several strands of tribulation thunder within the ghosts’ bodies, demonstrating that ghost qi could obstruct tribulation thunder.

These two Ghost Kings, supported by tens of thousands of ghosts, unleashed layers of ghost qi through the battle array, serving as Chu Xiu’s first layer of barriers!

”Squeak!”

However, in Chu Xiu’s expectant gaze, the tribulation thunder, like a hot knife through butter, penetrated layer after layer of ghost qi directly!

Chu Xiu’s heart tightened; he realized this tribulation thunder, which hadn’t been consumed at all, was far more powerful than what he had trapped previously!

Nevertheless, Chu Xiu didn’t panic. He hadn’t counted on blocking the tribulation thunder with just this; any consumption was sufficient.

To withstand the tribulation thunder requires one’s own hard strength!

With a low shout, a Purgatory Demon Corpse appeared beside him, the soul chain in its hand directly linked to Chu Xiu’s body. Simultaneously, the Blood Demon Incarnation manifested too, countless tentacles emerging and, like veins, injected into Chu Xiu’s back!

With the help of these two powerful creatures, Chu Xiu’s life ability reached a new level!

His entire body surged with mana, constructing countless connections between his palms and body. Simultaneously, Divine-Demonic Power and Artifact Origin, like a well-prepared elite army, were already deployed in his palms.

Chu Xiu let out a low shout, his palms thrusting forward, like catching a falling lead ball from the sky, reaching for the tribulation thunder!

In the next moment, as the tribulation thunder touched his palms, dazzling electric light instantly illuminated the entire world!

”Boom!!!”

Countless electric lights rampaged along Chu Xiu’s body, the terrifying energy causing his skin to fissure inch by inch!

Pain emanated from every corner of his body, yet Chu Xiu wasn’t the least bit panicked; instead, a look of delight filled his eyes!

Because, while his body underwent widespread fissuring, this fissuring was controllable and dispersed. Looking down, though his palms were bloodied beyond recognition, the bones remained! He had successfully distributed the power of the tribulation thunder throughout his body, greatly increasing the consumption of its destructive power through body-wide connections, rather than collapsing at a single touch like those ghosts beforehand!

This indicated his previous theory was correct, and after accomplishing this most difficult step, Chu Xiu was already prepared for what’s next.

”Seems like I won’t need to use Golden Embryo Origin and [Divine Living Armor] after all.”

Chu Xiu chuckled softly, as numerous ghosts suddenly appeared around him!

In the blink of an eye, these ghosts exploded one after another, disintegrating into the most fundamental particles!

This was a divine skill that Chu Xiu had mastered long ago, Unjust Death Substitute!

The skill allows the surrounding ghosts to help share the damage with him. Although he mastered it at the Fierce Tier, being the extremely core heritage of the Supreme Demon Lord, its effect and influence are extraordinarily powerful and defying nature. Additionally, its effect strengthens with the user’s ability!

At this moment, under Chu Xiu’s precise divine thought control, he simultaneously launched hundreds of Unjust Death Substitutes within less than 0.1 seconds!

And the ghosts bearing the Unjust Death Substitutes could further transfer the damage received through battle arrays and such!

”Screech!”

As sharp wails of ghosts sounded, a massive black cloud rose on the spot. Its overwhelming presence even forced the surrounding death qi to retreat! Within the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, where Chu Xiu constantly honed himself, continuously strengthened, and absorbed the Ghostly Legion of thousands of Horned Demon powerhouses from Peng City, stood manifested in its complete form for the first time in the mortal world!

Even though this ghost army lacked High Tier Powerhouses, in terms of total energy quantity, it far surpassed even Chu Xiu himself!

At this moment, under the leadership of two Ghost Kings, the terrifying army constructed a vast domain of ghosts, with pitch-black lightning roaming within the domain, eventually submerged in the endless ghost qi.
