Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

But Chu Xiu, who had resolved this tribulation thunder, showed no hint of joy on his face, instead appearing even more grave!

He lifted his head, the tribulation clouds on the dome seemed like a giant fierce beast hovering in the sky, brewing the next attack.

In the past quarter-hour, Chu Xiu had already endured a total of eleven tribulation thunders!

The first tribulation thunder only pierced a small hole in his palm, but bear in mind, the actual consumption by Chu Xiu was far beyond what the surface wounds suggested!

This was the result of using large amounts of mana, divine-demonic power, and artifact origin.

Thus, the subsequent second and third tribulation thunders directly shattered his entire arm!

Fortunately, the generation of tribulation thunder requires time, giving Chu Xiu a chance to catch his breath. If the tribulation thunder descended nonstop, at most three more would completely crush Chu Xiu!

Realizing the situation was spiraling out of control, Chu Xiu’s first reaction, naturally, was to flee.

But he was horrified to find the surrounding space was like the bottom of the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, forming a kind of closed loop, making it impossible for him to escape the domain shrouded by death qi!

This made a term flash through his mind.

Immortal Tribulation!

According to the Demon Sect’s legacy, the heavenly tribulation of becoming immortal must be endured with full resistance; once it begins, there is no turning back, and the tribulation would lock down the entire space beneath the tribulation clouds!

His resistance to the first heavenly tribulation seemed to have triggered a certain process, causing a transformation in the tribulation clouds above!

This left Chu Xiu deeply lamenting, never expecting such a twist.

However, he did not blame fate but quickly adjusted his mindset, swallowing a large number of recovery items to fully prepare for the heavenly tribulation.

During the fifth tribulation thunder, his ghostly legion couldn’t withstand it anymore, failing to resist unscathed and having to rely on the sacrifice of ghosts to continue sharing the burden.

This made even a thin thread of tribulation thunder capable of shattering the soul bodies of hundreds of fierce ghosts!

Under these circumstances, the ghostly legion Chu Xiu painstakingly nurtured began consuming at a terrifying speed, which pained Chu Xiu greatly.

But soon, he had more urgent matters to attend to.

By the seventh tribulation thunder, the Golden Embryo Origin was completely depleted.

What’s worse, the death qi attracted by the Celestial Mechanics Guild and Su Jinyu accelerated the speed of the next tribulation thunder’s formation among the tribulation clouds!

This made Chu Xiu curse uncontrollably.

But at that time, he certainly had no time to care about those five, pouring all his focus into resisting the tribulation thunder.

By the eighth tribulation thunder, he was compelled to activate the [Divine Living Armor]

By the ninth tribulation thunder, the ghostly legion’s losses had exceeded one-third! The remaining ghosts were in dire condition!

And when it came to the eleventh tribulation thunder...

Chu Xiu glanced beside him, the life force of the Purgatory Demon Corpse and Blood Demon Incarnation was nearly entirely borrowed, leaving only two ghost kings and two special combat ghosts weakly guarding his side.

The Immortal Qi given by Qingyunzi to Chu Xiu had been fully expended and laid nearby in a mix with the tribulation thunder as cause and effect points scattered on the ground.

As for Chu Xiu’s own body, it was nearing the point of exhaustion; practically, had it not been for the completion degree of his tribulation body rising significantly with every experience of the tribulation thunder, boosting his resistance against it, Chu Xiu would long have been shattered by the thunder.

At present, the twelfth tribulation thunder was truly brewing, Chu Xiu could clearly feel that this time, its momentum was far grander than before, as if the dead qi power of the entire Penglai world had gathered!

And he, with nearly all his cards exhausted, could absolutely not withstand this tribulation thunder! He would just be driven into using the Life-saving Card, the [Free Deep Diving Rope], at death’s door!

Though he had life-saving means, that was equivalent to Chu Xiu’s second life! How could he accept losing a life so easily?

Looking at the tribulation thunder growing ever larger overhead, a trace of fierce determination flashed in Chu Xiu’s eyes, and a wild idea surfaced in his mind.

”Fight!”

He reached out a hand, drawing all nearby cause and effect points into his palm. With a twist of his wrist, the millions of cause and effect points accumulated over time also gathered in his other hand!

In the next moment, this massive amount of cause and effect points surged crazily into Chu Xiu’s body!
