Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

In contrast, Chu Xiu’s ease in resisting the combined attack of Mu Tuo and the other two seemed trivial.

In fact, this wasn’t something that could be achieved just by having summoned creatures.

Chu Xiu’s ghostly legion had already suffered severe damage and hadn’t completely recovered; even if he sent them all out, they might not be able to absorb the crimson fog.

Not to mention that below the heroic spirit level, no matter how much life force a ghost is stimulated with, its life intensity compared to a civilization envoy is like a firefly against the bright moon, making it impossible to draw away the crimson fog.

What enabled Chu Xiu to accomplish this was his newly cultivated Yama Scripture divine technique, the [Nether Chain]!

The first two divine techniques, [Soul Hook] and [Ghost’s Wail], possess incredible power, enough to severely wound [Demigod] ghosts across tiers.

The [Nether Chain], which consumes more and is harder to cultivate with a higher grade, naturally has a different impact.

Through the Nether Chain’s ability to share life force, the ghosts connected by it instantly possess Chu Xiu’s terrifying life energy, easily drawing the crimson fog from the nearby civilization envoys.

After all, in terms of life intensity, even civilization envoys of the tenth-level civilization like Candle Nine and Cat Seven can’t compare to Chu Xiu.

Once the law of cancer transformation combines with the ghost, Chu Xiu retrieves the life force and transfers it to the next ghost.

Using this method, he successfully attracted all the nearby crimson fog.

And that wasn’t all.

The Soul Chain can endow the connected ghost with divine techniques, so Chu Xiu utilized this point, allowing the ghosts to merge with demonic qi. These demonic qi connected to the ghosts’ bodies enable them to maximize the consumption of the cancerous transformation law’s power!

The combination of both enabled Chu Xiu to clear most of the surrounding crimson fog after consuming most of the ghostly legion, barely helping everyone withstand it.

Although the cost was heavy, this is the terrifying power of this rule; using such tricky means to withstand the rule is already fortunate enough.

He had not expected that the [Nether Chain] divine technique would be useful at this time.

Glancing at the deformed ghosts howling in the demonic qi, Chu Xiu suppressed the pain in his eyes and turned to the other civilization envoys, saying indifferently, ”If you still insist that I am a tribulator, I am also willing to accompany you.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Tuo and the other two looked ashamed and waved their hands repeatedly.

They initially wanted to kill Chu Xiu, little did they expect to be saved by him in the end.

After witnessing Chu Xiu’s terrifying power, where would they still have any thoughts of fighting him?

Mao Qi cleared his throat: ”Brother Chen, you’re joking. It was just a little misunderstanding just now... Pardon my poor vision, what kind of rule is Brother Chen using?”

Chu Xiu snorted lightly and said, ”Brother Mao, as a civilization envoy of the Thousand Illusions Divine Domain, can’t you see this isn’t the power of a rule? Why try to probe?”

Mao Qi laughed dryly and said no more.

Chu Xiu’s gaze swept over the others: ”I never deceived any of you; I am indeed from the sixth-level civilization and have not mastered any rules, just that my internal power, by chance, is a bit stronger than others of the same tier.”

Everyone’s mouth twitched. Is that just a bit? Never mind a heroic spirit, even if they were told Chu Xiu was actually a divine envoy, they would believe it!

Before tribulation, Chu Xiu already possessed power comparable to a strong demigod, and after tribulation, his basic attributes increased by 30%. After core formation, his power made a stunning leap, and just now, after activating the Soul Chain and augmenting it with the ghostly legion, from the aura alone, he indeed wasn’t far from the divine envoy level of power.

And now Chu Xiu is telling them this power belongs to a heroic spirit from a sixth-level civilization that hasn’t mastered a single rule?

How could they possibly believe this?

But Chu Xiu also let them misunderstand, knowing that after inadvertently revealing his strength, everyone would be more convinced he was a tribulator and he needed to rely on the deterrent power of his abilities to prevent others from taking action.

If Mao Qi and others took a risk, although Chu Xiu had attributes far exceeding others, there was still a possibility of being overturned by those bizarre rules, not to mention Mao Qi had a tribulation transformation divine artifact at hand.

Even if they won, without everyone’s help, he would be incapable of fighting the tribulation thunder incarnation.

With a single rule nearly wiping out half of Chu Xiu’s ghostly legion, how would he fend off the rules yet to come?

But the others aren’t fools either; they can naturally figure this out. They also know that now, after Chu Xiu expended his strength dispelling the cancerous transformation law, it’s the best time for a showdown!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense.

As everyone harbored their own thoughts and calculations, suddenly, an eerie female voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

”Kan below Li above, the water and fire do not harmonize.”

”The villain’s way grows, the gentleman’s way fades.”

”This is a sign of great misfortune!”
