Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The electric light on Chu Xiu’s body gradually calmed down, the fissures in his body also slowly stopped, and under the continuous injection of Life Energy from the Purgatory Demon Corpse and the Blood Demon Incarnation, he actually began to recover!

”I held on.” A hint of a smile appeared on Chu Xiu’s face.

He had relied on his physical body alone to withstand the attack of the Tribulation Thunder!

Not only that, Chu Xiu could also feel that his body was undergoing a certain kind of transformation, becoming even stronger than before, and he had even gained a certain resistance to Tribulation Thunder!

”This should be my Tribulation Body Traits, its completion rate has soared.”

Thinking of this, the smile on Chu Xiu’s face grew even wider. Just this Tribulation Body Traits alone, gained from this trip to the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, was already an enormous stroke of fortune that others wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

But just as Chu Xiu was secretly delighted, a loud bang suddenly came again from the dome above!

Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically!

He saw the black tribulation cloud above his head, as if enraged by Chu Xiu, spinning rapidly, and something massive seemed to be undergoing a mutation within.

The terrifying thing was, originally there had been a constant outpouring of mutated Death Qi spewing from that tribulation cloud, but now, the mutated Death Qi all around was instead pouring back into that tribulation cloud, as if it had suddenly turned into a vortex that devoured all things!

The Death Qi of the entire Death Qi Domain began to riot, surging toward the tribulation cloud above at an astonishing speed. No, not just the Death Qi Domain—mutated Death Qi from all of Penglai, and even beyond Penglai, was being swallowed by that tribulation cloud!

A supremely dangerous premonition rose in Chu Xiu’s heart. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran!

His Speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye he had dashed several li away, but the tribulation cloud was even faster! Chu Xiu caught a flash of light at the corner of his eye as a bolt of Tribulation Thunder shot out from the tribulation cloud, streaking straight toward him!

Chu Xiu was greatly shocked. No matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than Tribulation Thunder? He decisively stopped, once again unleashed the Ghost army, and just like before, raised both hands to catch that bolt of Tribulation Thunder!

The terrifying Power rampaged through Chu Xiu’s body once again. Fortunately, although he was not in a good state now, he did have experience, and barely managed to catch this Tribulation Thunder.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another deafening boom sounded in the sky!

In Chu Xiu’s horrified gaze, a second bolt of Tribulation Thunder, like a Light Saber descending from the heavens, struck his body dead-on!

”Bang!”

Chu Xiu’s hands exploded apart with a roar, and in his horrified gaze, the remaining force of the Tribulation Thunder did not diminish, surging along his arms straight toward his heart meridians!

...

Not long before, in the distant Penglai Immortal Realm.

A wisp of Immortal Qi twined between Qingyunzi’s fingers, and in the end, as if it possessed Life, it entered Chen Lengqiang’s body.

As that Immortal Qi dissipated, it seemed that some sort of change occurred within Chen Lengqiang’s body.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, joy overflowing in his gaze.

”It’s done!”

As his words fell, the other three members of the Celestial Mechanics Guild let out cheers.

”This is great, now the four of us have truly come back to Life.” Shen Tianxie said excitedly.

The four of them had fought side by side for many years; their bond went without saying.

”Not only that, we even gained an unexpected reward.” An irrepressible smile surfaced on Chen Lengqiang’s face.

The other three also began to laugh.

In front of them, a notification hovered silently.

[Tribulation Body (Pseudo) (SS): All Attributes +3700, slightly increases resistance to Tribulation Thunder.]

All Attributes directly increased by 3700! For a King Tier, this was practically a qualitative leap!

The increase of Basic Attributes was extremely terrifying, not to mention that Constitution, Spirit, and Energy were not independent of each other. An All Attributes increase of 3700... could directly allow an Ordinary King Tier to possess the combat strength of a top King Tier!

How could this not make the four of them wild with joy?

With this Traits, their chances of passing the Heroic Spirit Trial had increased severalfold!

Even Su Jinyu and Jiang Miaoyin in the distance revealed envious expressions, even feeling a surge of impulse to draw Death Qi into their bodies and also undergo a bout of becoming Living Dead.

But in the end they still held back, knowing this was a special opportunity belonging to the four.

Not every dead person would become Living Dead.

Although, under the shroud of Death Qi, the bottom of the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace had acquired a special Rule, the situation of the four was also a product of many coincidences. First of all was a Spatial Cutting as precise as that of the Murder Ghost, so that while inflicting a fatal wound, it preserved the integrity of the body to the greatest extent.

Those slain by the Murder Ghost, from the outside, didn’t even look any different from before.

In addition, they had to be in a place where the concentration of Death Qi and Yin Qi coexisted in just the right ratio, so that after the flesh was revived by Death Qi, their original consciousness could still be preserved. It could be said that timing, location, and human factors all had to align.

Of course, if one truly tried to imitate this, there was perhaps a forty to fifty percent chance of reproducing it, but one had to understand that if it failed, it would mean the annihilation of body and Dao. How many people would dare take that risk? So they could only stand to the side and envy.

The four who had turned misfortune into blessing were in high spirits, but for this danger to truly turn into an opportunity, there was still one final step left.

That was to return to Blue Star.

Everyone looked toward the distant Death Qi Domain, from which dull rumbles occasionally sounded, as if some monster were devouring something.

”I don’t know when Senior Qin will set out to break through the pass.” Shen Tianxie sighed.

For the past half month, there had been constant commotion from the distant Death Qi Domain, yet the tribulation cloud at the dome had remained calm, and they had no idea what Chu Xiu was doing in there.

”Could it be that after witnessing the Power of the Tribulation, he lost his nerve?” Qingyunzi’s face was a bit gloomy.
