Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chu Xiu faced Mao Qi’s threat indifferently, slowly turning around to look at the end of the passage behind him, a heavy expression on his face.

At the sticky end of the darkness, there was a faint ”buzzing” sound that grew louder and louder, until it turned into a continuous cacophony.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, as if facing a great enemy, one green dot after another appeared in their field of vision.

”These are...”

All the Civilization Envoys’ expressions changed, as those little dots turned out to be flying insects resembling locusts!

These insects had long, sharp mouthparts, continuously vibrating their transparent wings creating a buzzing sound, gathering together to form an immeasurably vast swarm!

Everyone was a High Tier Awakened, naturally unafraid of ordinary insects, but...

Zhu Jiu flicked his fingers, and a pitch-black sphere shot out, erupting with Celestial Thunder and Earth Fire at the moment of contact with the swarm! The lightning and flame nearly swept through the entire passage!

Everyone could see that although Zhu Jiu had not exerted his full strength, in this Celestial Thunder and Earth Fire, there was indeed the power of the Rule of Destruction!

However, under the dual attack of lightning and flame, these insects merely shook continuously in mid-air, appearing scattered by the uninterrupted attacks, yet most remained fundamentally unharmed!

Only a very few insects at the center of the energy burst had their bodies shattered, turning into dust that ”swooshed” down.

”To resist the Rule of Destruction so easily, these insects are likely rule incarnations as well.” Zhu Jiu said.

”But they possess physical forms, perhaps easier to deal with than the last tribulation, right?” Mu Tuo said uncertainly.

”Not so,” Tuoba Shou, who was usually silent, shook his head, ”Although Brother Zhu only wielded a trace of rule power, its divine technique’s power was not to be underestimated, yet only less than a thousand toxic insects were resolved, while this swarm is boundless, with unknown quantity.”

Mao Qi sneered, ”Isn’t there a great hero here who said he would face the tribulation alone?”

Her expression cold, her appearance and figure flawless, yet her words were harsh, making it difficult for others to have a fondness for her.

Chu Xiu knew that the opponent was trying to provoke him with words, yet he had already decided to explore the mysteries of this tribulation, so he calmly stepped forward, standing between the group and the insect swarm.

Simultaneously, he completely liberated his aura, releasing a sea-like, magnificent life force without reservation!

The Civilization Envoys, knowing Chu Xiu was extremely strong, were nonetheless shocked by the ocean-like vastness of his life force, beyond their capabilities, with even Mao Qi and Zhu Jiu holding a sliver of undisguised defeat in their eyes.

Upon his release of the life force, the toxic insects acted as if they had targeted their prey, the buzzing roared, their speed suddenly accelerating, pressing towards Chu Xiu!

”Brother Chen, don’t be reckless! These toxic insects, being rules incarnations, must possess unimaginable wonders, we should join forces!”

Speaking, Xie Xuanzhao intended to intervene, yet was stopped by Chu Xiu raising his hand.

His eyes flickered, sending a divine thought into Xie Xuanzhao’s mind.

Upon receiving that divine thought, Xie Xuanzhao froze, displaying an astonished expression.

”Brother Chen, you...”

”No need to say, my mind is set,” Chu Xiu interrupted her with a wave, ”Please, Miss Xuanzhao, just do what I asked you.”

At his words, Xie Xuanzhao’s expression shifted variously, ultimately heaving a sigh and returning to her place.

”Playing mysterious games.” Mao Qi grumbled unpleasantly, sneering, ”I shall see what tricks he has this time!”

Zhu Jiu said, ”Brother Chen is not a reckless person; there must be reason in his actions.”

As they spoke, they unconsciously distanced themselves from Chu Xiu, starting to set up either arrays or traps nearby, preparing should Chu Xiu fail, to make the most of this time to prepare more.

When the toxic insects were attracted by Chu Xiu, their flying speed was astonishingly quick, soon the leading batch was only a hundred meters away from Chu Xiu!
