Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

”The Old Remains?”

Chu Xiu’s words made Zhao Jie widen his eyes, and he was so shocked that he stammered.

The Old Remains can bring back items lost in history from the past, possessing such an extraordinary effect. However, its market price isn’t considered expensive, the main reason being the extreme rarity of the Ancient Altar, with only two of the Eight Celestial Kings owning one!

And if Chu Xiu wants to purchase this item, doesn’t it mean...

”Just how many good things do you still have hidden?” Zhao Jie shook his head helplessly.

”Leave this to me. It’s just recently that a batch of stock appeared on the market and it hasn’t been snatched up by the two Celestial Kings yet. I should be able to secure it.”

”Thank you, Brother Zhao.” Chu Xiu cupped his fists in gratitude.

Previously, Chu Xiu hadn’t rushed to purchase these Old Remains to avoid attracting the Celestial Kings’ attention. But now, since they are already paying him enough attention, there’s no need to hide anymore.

Zhao Jie waved his hand, saying no more, disappearing into the sky.

As he saw Zhao Jie’s figure vanish, Chu Xiu also chose a safe place, dedicating a sliver of his mind to drive the Soul Banner for refinement, while concentrating mainly on refining the Nine Infant Witch Puppet.

The process of refining this Witch Puppet involves three steps. First, erase the past consciousness of the nine souls, returning them to a pure, infant-like state. Second, use his own Essence Blood to nourish and refine Ghost Infants with various pure yin materials, and lastly, unify the nine infants using his own flesh and blood as the foundation.

Chu Xiu flipped his wrist, and nine souls appeared before him.

”Shriek!”

Just as they appeared, the four Demigod souls shrieked and charged at him!

However, with just a glance from Chu Xiu, those souls halted in place and shrank back together, while the Heroic Spirit souls trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Now, Chu Xiu’s Divine Soul is so strong that even Demigod ghosts dare not challenge him, let alone these ordinary souls?

He waved his large hand, and the nine souls released silent screams, instantly having their consciousness erased.

He then gently tapped, and nine drops of Essence Blood emerged from his body, entering the nine souls.

Immediately, Chu Xiu felt a wonderful connection with these nine souls.

With another gesture, the Ten Directions Nether Fire Array and Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace appeared on the scene, and under the encouragement of the furnace fire, the nine souls began to integrate with the pure yin materials, transforming into a new life form.

In the days following, Chu Xiu began simultaneously refining the Nine Infant Witch Puppet and the Ghostly Legion.

Zhao Jie soon delivered a large batch of Old Remains, approximately fifty ordinary, twelve elite, and three leader.

No more than that, as such items aren’t roadside cabbages.

The subsequent developments were unexpectedly smooth.

With the help of the Perfection Refining talent and two Supreme Treasures of the Demon Sect, the Nine Infant Witch Puppet was safely completed after seventeen days.

Moreover, its quality reached the top grade artifact level!

This delighted Chu Xiu immensely, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at how extraordinary Perfection Refining is; as long as there are enough materials, there’s nearly never a failure, and every time the result is the best!

”A Nine Infant Witch Puppet of top grade artifact tier should be able to store half of my power from when I crossed the Tribulation!”

It might not seem much, but it’s because Chu Xiu’s strength is exceedingly high. His combat strength during the Tribulation was perhaps not far off from an ordinary Peak Demigod.

Although the total energy now is only half, with enhanced attributes compared to before, newly achieved Fighting Spirit, and dataless equipment capable of unleashing demigod power, the peak combat strength far exceeds the past!

”The intensity is absolutely high, it’s just... not long-lasting!”

Chu Xiu silently made a plan; the Nine Infant Witch Puppet can only be an unexpected trump card, while ordinary combat has to rely on the Fighting Spirit!

The refinement of the Ghostly Legion also proceeded smoothly, consuming all the previously collected souls after just three more days.

Now, the Ghostly Legion’s scale increased by 30 to 40 percent compared to its peak, and successfully birthed the third Ghost King.

This creature sensed Chu Xiu’s terrifying Divine Soul the moment it was born, and didn’t dare even to exhale like the two seniors, quickly submitting.

This gave Chu Xiu more confidence. Although his physical energy is sealed now, his Divine Soul is unaffected. After continuous enhancement and cultivating the Fighting Spirit, the enhancement from his Nether Chain has become incredibly terrifying.

If the Ghostly Legion fights without regard for losses, it is definitely equivalent to a Peak Demigod!

”No matter how powerful Ashtar may be, those five Blood Demons’ years as demigods won’t exceed half a year. At best, their strength is that of a strong demigod, possibly just a perfect demigod.....”

With such strength, if they don’t resort to tricks, he should be able to handle it!

Of course, it’s possible that Ashtar won’t use tricks, but betting on Ashtar not using tricks seems improbable.....

Therefore, Chu Xiu still has to prepare as much as possible.

In the following time, he increased his combat power from three aspects.

First, mobilize the power adapted to the Civilization Domain and get accustomed to fighting using the Civilization Domain’s power.

Second, continue learning the soul lineage inheritance of Duo Bao Demon Venerable. Although not formally practiced, there are many small techniques for using the divine soul that can be referenced.

Lastly, practice the ability to traverse high-dimensional space, which concerns his escape if he is outmatched.
