An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 106 Golden Embryo Born, Double Output!
"The Ultimate Path? Extraterrestrial Demons? I don't know."

Faced with Chu Xiu's question, the murderer said with a mournful face, "I just met a big fat man sitting in a carriage during the advancement trial. I originally wanted to turn him into a puppet, but I couldn't beat him. He said he wouldn't kill me if I became his familiar, so I agreed."

"Then this pattern was tattooed on my back. Every now and then, people would talk to me through him and ask me to do something. If I didn't do it, he would scold me. I wanted to scold back, but I couldn't find a way to talk back."

"I'm so miserable! I only killed a few people, why are you all bullying me! There are so many people, more than cattle and sheep, so what if I killed a few!"

Chu Xiu: "."

He carefully examined the killer's expression and sneered, "Fine, fine, you're playing dumb with me, aren't you? Looks like I'll have to use some healing methods to help you regain your memory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic hand reached out from behind and grabbed the murderer's little finger, gradually increasing the pressure.

With the cracking sound of bones breaking, the killer screamed, "Stop! Stop! I'll talk!"

"What they want is something in this world. The task they gave us is simply to seize the [locating anchor points] as much as possible so that they can send in other, stronger members."

After saying that, he put on a fawning expression: "I'll give you everything, and tell you everything I know honestly, and then you'll let me go, right? Anyway, you won't need my worthless life."

Actually useful
Chu Xiu refrained from saying this aloud and continued, "How many people came this time? And who are they?"

"I really don't know. Only higher-ranking family members can pass messages to lower-ranking family members. I don't know who gave me the mission, and I don't know who the other family members are."

Seeing Chu Xiu's expression turn hostile, the murderer hurriedly added, "But! But I know that person is very strong! And the gods have placed high hopes on him, bestowing many [Blessings] upon him. A lower-ranking member like me can only receive one or two [Blessings], but he is different; he has many!"

"The gods' expectation of him is that he seize the [Core Anchor Point]!"

The killer's words caused a serious look to appear on Chu Xiu's face.

"A high-ranking member of the family?" He stroked his chin, feeling a bit of pressure.

This sense of uncertainty made him very uncomfortable. No matter how powerful Ye Junlin and Lin Wanyue were, they were still out in the open, and he only needed to be careful in dealing with them. But the enemy hidden in the shadows was like a sharp blade hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.

In some ways, this guy puts more pressure on him than Ye Junlin and Lin Wanyue!

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the superior relative is one of the two.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu felt it necessary to press for more detailed information, such as what the [Blessing] was, and more information about the gods he mentioned.

But just as he was thinking, the murderer who had been lying prostrate on the ground suddenly sprang up, his sharp blade, gleaming with a cold light, plunging straight into Chu Xiu's throat!
"clang!"

The Heavenly Demon Hand protected its master and blocked the attack, but at this moment, the six-pointed star behind the murderer suddenly lit up with a dazzling light!

A sense of extreme danger rose in Chu Xiu's heart. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed a berserk demonic hand punch, smashing the murderer into a bloody pulp!
"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a large number of items exploded out.

Chu Xiu clicked his tongue lightly. He knew that being a so-called "fellowship" was not easy. Those extraterrestrial demons who called themselves "gods" must have ways to restrict their subordinates.

They probably sensed something was wrong and started their backup plan.

"If I hadn't defeated the Avatar of Pain back then, I probably would have ended up like this."

After a moment of surprise, Chu Xiu turned his gaze to the large number of items that had been scattered on the ground. After taking stock of them, he couldn't help but show a look of delight.

"Thirty-one pieces of equipment and props of [Standard] quality, twelve pieces of [Excellent] quality, four pieces of [Collection] quality, and the dagger in his hand is of [Perfect] quality, probably a blessing from an extraterrestrial demon."

This perfect dagger has extremely strong armor-piercing and poison-coating effects.

Including the greatsword he had previously stolen from Wei Shan, Chu Xiu now has two unused [perfect] weapons.

He felt that if they encountered highly agile enemies in the future, they could stop using the Berserk Demon Hand and instead have the regular Demon Hand wield these two [Perfect] weapons to fight!

Although the ordinary Heavenly Demon Hand only has 36 points of strength, its defense is very high and it is very agile. When combined with the [Perfect] weapon, it can also provide a considerable amount of output!
"In addition to that, there are even more than six hundred causal points!"

"Just how many people has this guy killed?!"

Chu Xiu sighed with admiration as he happily put the items away.

With so much equipment and items, his storage space was completely filled, leaving almost no room left.

As expected, murder and robbery lead to faster development.

However, this murderer should be an exception; other warriors certainly don't have his wealth.

"We need to find a suitable way to get rid of these things."

"Perhaps we could hold a small trade fair? Or maybe we could see if we can make deals with the advisors of various factions," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Without giving it any further thought, Chu Xiu put the matter aside; he had more important things to do now.

After acquiring the murderer's "collection," Chu Xiu's total number of karma points has finally exceeded three thousand, enough to meet the initial cultivation needs of the [Golden Embryo Rebirth] technique!
Without any hesitation, Chu Xiu invested all the causal points!
add a bit!

As a large number of causal points began to burn, Chu Xiu's body was undergoing an astonishing change at an incredible speed!
He could feel all the energy in his body gathering in his dantian. With a special circulation method and his own life force, it gave birth to an object similar to a fetus. However, this was not an object in the sense of life, but an extremely pure energy!
As the causal points were continuously consumed, the "fetus" slowly emitted a divine golden light. As the golden light increased, it was as if it was plated with a layer of gold. As it grew to a certain critical point, a large amount of purified life energy surged out of its body, washing over Chu Xiu's limbs and bones!
He comfortably squinted his eyes, feeling every cell in his body evolving under the cleansing influence of this life energy! His muscles became more resilient, his bones denser and stronger, and his heart was like a powerful engine, pumping out new energy with every beat!
The first stage of the Golden Embryo Formation has been completed.

【Attribute 1】Constitution +35, Energy Level +125, Energy Recovery Speed ​​Doubled.

[Attribute 2] Allows the Golden Embryo to output mana simultaneously for a short period of time, greatly enhancing the power of skills.

【Attribute 3】When damaged, the Golden Embryo Essence can be consumed to directly heal the injury.

The surging power within him already excited Chu Xiu to no end, and the notification that appeared before his eyes made him unable to contain his ecstatic joy!

This method truly lives up to its reputation as the fundamental secret technique for building the foundation of the [Innate Gods and Demons] lineage; it is simply too powerful!

With a direct increase of 35 points in constitution, Chu Xiu could easily suppress other S-rank melee classes of the same level based on his basic attributes alone, and his energy level more than doubled!
If Chu Xiu were to encounter Wei Shan again, and Wei Shan were still able to stand within three seconds, it would be because Chu Xiu had shown him mercy.

The remaining two attributes are even more outrageous than the last. Simply put, the Golden Embryo is like another version of oneself, capable of attacking alongside the user, greatly enhancing the power of any skill! It can also absorb damage for the user! Chu Xiu tested it out and found that in the simultaneous activation mode of the Golden Embryo, energy consumption doubled, while skill power increased by a full 60%!

Although there are losses, this number is still astonishing enough. For example, his Berserk Demon Hand, when unleashed at full power, can now reach an extremely terrifying 345 points! One punch could smash a tank to pieces!

Of course, this mode of doubling mana output puts a lot of stress on the body and cannot be used for a long time, but even with this limitation, it is powerful enough.

"The improvement in physical fitness has also increased the hit rate of the Berserk Demon Hand, because it means that I can approach the enemy at a faster speed and choose a better time to attack."

"Moreover, the Golden Embryo can continue to upgrade."

The Heavenly Demon Hand and the Golden Embryo both have a maximum of three levels.

Chu Xiu felt he was developing more and more like a boss, and he didn't even dare to imagine how strong he would become if he leveled both skills to level three.

"However, the next upgrade for both of these skills will require more than 5,000 causality points."

"I still need to keep grinding!"

Suppressing his joy, Chu Xiu focused his attention on the grayish-yellow stomach.

After having the two ghosts wipe it clean, Chu Xiu picked it up with a hint of disgust and began to examine its attributes carefully.

[Monk Rasputin’s stomach]

Rank: Common (Upgradeable)

[Quality: perfect]

【Attribute 1: All attributes +3】

[Attribute Two: Greatly increases digestive ability after wearing; can even dissolve stone.]

【Attribute 3: Placing equipment and items into the stomach has a chance to produce blood wine with different attributes, and a very low chance to produce "Blood Pool Essence" which can increase lifespan】

[Comment: A pitiful man dismembered because of his gluttony, but he remained unchanged even in death; whatever you feed him, he can transform it into the finest wine.]

"I see."

The properties before him made Chu Xiu realize something. No wonder the tongue had led him to this stomach; it had this effect.

The first two attributes are actually quite useful. The +3 to all attributes goes without saying, and the increased digestive ability means that Chu Xiu no longer has to worry about food; he can just eat grass if necessary.

The only downside is that, like the tongue, the process of equipping it is somewhat disgusting.

Without thinking twice, he casually tossed in a piece of equipment of [Standard] quality.

Soon, as the equipment was swallowed by the stomach, a gurgling sound of acid corroding filled the air, and the stomach, which had been stretched out, quickly deflated.

However, after digesting the equipment, the stomach showed no reaction.

"Is it because we haven't invested enough?"

Chu Xiu simply added another item, since his storage space was already almost full.

Another gurgling sound followed, but the stomach remained unresponsive even after the contents were consumed.

Chu Xiu wasn't in a hurry, and continued adding items one after another. However, even after he had put in all the [Standard] quality equipment and items, his stomach still didn't react!
Chu Xiu frowned slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, continued to add [Excellent] items!
Fortunately, when the third fine item was placed in the stomach, a drop of bloody liquid finally seeped out from the bottom of the stomach.

[Rare Blood Wine: Increases Strength by 5 for one minute after drinking]

Chu Xiu guessed that the stomach was either used to satisfy the desires of the tongue or, like a gambling machine, to generate "blood pool essence" by continuously investing equipment and items.

Items that can extend lifespan are priceless treasures no matter where they are placed. Chu Xiu remembered that a rare item called "Golden Tree Extract" was once discovered in the [Super Limit Evolution] world. It could extend the user's lifespan by five years and was eventually auctioned off to an anonymous buyer for 13.8 billion.

Just then, at midnight, the tongue of the storage space began to stir.

As soon as Chu Xiu took it out, that unpleasant, hunchbacked sound rang out:

"Hey everyone! It's Rasputin's midnight party time again!"

"I wonder if anyone has prepared some delicious snacks in advance today?"

Chu Xiu smiled and dripped the freshly converted blood wine onto it.

As the blood wine entered the tongue, it immediately began to writhe excitedly as if injected with a stimulant!

"That's right, that's the taste!"

"Food from my own stomach is still the best to my taste!"

"Unfortunately, the quality is still a bit low. It would be great if we could have blood wine of 'perfect' quality."

Chu Xiu's brow twitched. He really wanted to punch that tongue flat. One [Collection] had already cost him a lot, and he still wanted [Perfect]?

"Stop being so picky. If your secrets don't satisfy me, you won't even get to drink urine, let alone perfect blood wine!"

"vulgar!"

Tongue protested with a dissatisfaction, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down so that I can drink more fine wine in the future."

"This time, I will bring you the whereabouts of a [Legendary] piece of equipment."
