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

Chapter 110 The Golden Embryo's Second Stage: Battle Against a Fierce Rank!

"Finally, they've given us the detailed address."

Chu Xiu's eyes revealed a look of surprise and delight.

However, the final advice his tongue gave him made him fall into deep thought.

"I need to have the strength of a ferocious beast before I can explore. Am I as strong as a low-level ferocious beast now?"

But so far, he has not fought with his full strength, and has basically only used one or two trump cards against his enemies.

Chu Xiu felt that his offensive capabilities might be lacking, but his defense and survivability were not a problem; he could even get rid of that silver-white knight.

"So even if the pre-set threshold for the tongue's ferocity is very high, I shouldn't be in any danger to my life. It's just a matter of how many ghost legions I lose."

"But I will also try to be as well-prepared as possible before I go to explore."

The ghost army was hard-won, and Chu Xiu felt heartbroken at every loss.

Once he had made up his mind, he closed his eyes to rest and recover.

The next morning, Chu Xiu, having almost fully replenished his strength and energy, pushed open the door, ready to begin a new round of hunting.

After yesterday's exploration, he has discovered many patterns in the activities of the ghouls in the central urban area, allowing him to be more aggressive.

Today marks the fourth day since entering the abyss, and all the major forces are beginning to prepare to advance towards the central city.

The entire stronghold was bustling with activity early in the morning, with many awakened individuals setting off ahead of time to the vicinity of the city walls, especially some auxiliary professions such as craftsmen.

In the past few days, many high-level awakened individuals like Chu Xiu have entered the central city area in advance to gather intelligence. Of course, few of them have gone as deep as Chu Xiu, but they have still gained a lot.

After discussion, the advisors and analysts of the major powers decided to adopt a scorched-earth policy and proceed step by step. They first established a solid defensive line on the city walls using modern weapons, and then gradually cleared out the ghouls in the central area.

Therefore, support roles will be particularly busy these days.

This is a good thing for Chu Xiu, as it means that even if he encounters an enemy he can't defeat in the central city, he can simply escape to the city wall area and someone will help him stop them. This will allow Chu Xiu to explore without any worries.

Meanwhile, many mortal-level awakened individuals, having exhausted the resources of the outer city, are preparing to begin their advancement trials.

The Corpse Demon World is a real world, no different from Earth, so it is also possible to undergo advancement trials there.

There are quite a few people undergoing the advancement trial this time, with seven from Lin Wanyue's stronghold alone. After all, the resources in the outer city are quite abundant, enough for many people to advance to level 9.

Without reaching the Warrior rank, one has no chance to compete for the [Location Anchor Point], so any Awakened with ambition will try to reach the Warrior rank before officially conquering the World Mission.

Chu Xiu was not dissatisfied with the increase in competitors; on the contrary, he was extremely happy.

“These newly promoted warriors will receive a lot of causal points as rewards for passing the trials. Even if they just coasted through, each of them can still get at least three or four hundred points on average.”

"And since they lack warrior-level equipment, I can take what I don't need and exchange it for causal points with them."

In reality, no matter how many ordinary warriors there were, they posed virtually no threat to Chu Xiu.

Of course, they will take some resources, but in reality, Chu Xiu and they are not on the same page, so it doesn't make much difference whether they are there or not.

Without giving it any further thought, Chu Xiu left the stronghold, put on a robe and mask, and ran all the way, quickly crossing the city wall and entering the central urban area.

He didn't stop, but went deeper and deeper, arriving at an area about 9km from the central tower.

This is the hunting spot he carefully selected after observing it yesterday.

The main reason is that the ferocious ghouls that rule this area don't move very fast, giving Chu Xiu ample time to react.

He stood on the roof of a residential building, his demonic eyes flashing, and quickly marked most of the ghouls in the area.

He moved with lightning speed, appearing behind a level 9 mortal corpse demon, and thrust out a spear, instantly piercing it through!

Without pausing, before the second ghoul could react, he smashed its head with another punch!
At this moment, the ghouls throughout the area began to riot, and he, like a ghost, swept across the buildings, precisely slaughtering the ghouls one by one!

He set up a perfect killing route, causing the leader of this group of ghouls to keep chasing him from behind. Only after clearing out most of the ghouls in sight did Chu Xiu stop, turn around, and face the roaring warrior-level ghouls behind him. He then unleashed a berserk demonic hand punch!
"boom!"

It was an instant kill without any suspense; the immense force even caused a cloud of blood mist to explode in the air.

[Professional Experience +56]

[Item Obtained: 122 Causality Points]

Along with the pleasant sound, a furious roar erupted from the ferocious beasts of this place!

But when they arrived in a ferocious manner, Chu Xiu had already disappeared, and the corpses all over the ground had been refined.

For the rest of the time, Chu Xiu hunted in this area. His physique, which was as high as 150 points, allowed him to cross a distance of a thousand meters in just a few breaths and leap up a ten-story building. With such amazing agility, the ferocious creatures in this area could not find his trace at all and could only let out helpless roars.

After smashing another warrior-level ghoul with a single punch, the notification sound that Chu Xiu had been waiting for finally rang.

[Professional Experience +48]

[Item Obtained: 98 Causality Points]

[Level Up!]

Current Rank: Warrior Level 6

"Finally upgraded again!"

Feeling the increasing power within him, Chu Xiu couldn't help but close his eyes in ecstasy.

All attributes have been improved again, with Constitution increasing by 12 points, and the other two attributes also seeing similar increases.

Of course, most importantly, there's only one level left to unlock the new legacy!

But what made him happy was far from over.

After a morning of hunting, he finally accumulated five thousand karma points!

Level 12 physique?
It's very good, but Chu Xiu is still not satisfied!

What he wanted was power far exceeding that of everyone else, enough to crush everything!

add a bit!

Without any hesitation, he poured all the causal points into the Golden Embryo!

As a large number of causal points began to burn, this secret technique seemed to cross the river of time in an instant. Chu Xiu vaguely felt that his body was entrusted to another space-time, where he cultivated diligently day and night millions of times.

A wealth of knowledge and insights flooded into Chu Xiu's mind, and at the same time, his body was undergoing astonishing changes!
After all five thousand causal points were exhausted, the golden embryo within Chu Xiu's body shone brightly like a small Buddha statue!
"boom!"

Chu Xiu threw a punch, which instantly produced a violent whooshing sound and shattered a load-bearing wall!

[The second level of Golden Embryo has been completed] [Attribute Enhancement 1] Constitution +25, Energy Level +55, Energy Recovery Speed ​​+150%.

[Attribute Enhancement 2] The output power of the Golden Embryo is further enhanced, which can be combined with the main body to output three times the mana in a short period of time. The skill power is increased by 100%, but it puts great pressure on the meridians.

[Attribute Boost 3] Total amount of Golden Embryo Essence and healing effect +20%
Having completed the second level of the Golden Embryo Cultivation technique, Chu Xiu's physique increased by another 25 points! His total physique now exceeds 150 points!
Furthermore, the latter two attributes have also been improved, especially attribute two, which now boasts triple mana output and a 100% skill bonus! This brings the power of the Berserk Demon Hand to over 400!

Of course, Chu Xiu tried it and found that it did put a lot of pressure on his body. Continuous use of it could even damage his meridians!
Even so, this is enough to be Chu Xiu's strongest trump card at present.

Just as Chu Xiu was immersed in the joy of his increased strength, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound of buildings being destroyed not far away. Chu Xiu knew that the ferocious creatures in this place were approaching him.

But this time, Chu Xiu did not dodge. Instead, he stayed where he was, his eyes filled with anticipation!
"I wonder if my current strength is comparable to that of a Ferocious Rank!"

With a fierce look in his eyes, a huge creature leaped out and crashed heavily to the ground, the terrifying impact instantly creating a large crater in the concrete road!
This was a creature resembling a giant bear, but far larger than any bear Chu Xiu had ever seen! Its upright length exceeded ten meters, and its weight was likely fifty tons! Comparable to a heavy tank!
It was covered in thick fur, but its exposed face revealed the characteristics of a ghoul. Most strikingly, it had a large number of protruding bone spikes on its body, making it look like a combination of a bear and a hedgehog!
According to the Demon Eye, this is a level 3 ferocious creature! Its constitution is as high as 300 points!
And it was Chu Xiu's carefully chosen opponent. It had a huge body and amazing strength, but its agility was relatively lacking, making it very suitable for the Heavenly Demon Hand to use!
"bring it on!"

With an excited growl, Chu Xiu unleashed the Berserk Demon Hand behind him and charged towards the giant bear!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, two berserk demonic hands transformed into fists and slammed heavily into the giant bear's face! But the giant bear merely shook its head and, as if nothing had happened, roared and raised its paws to strike Chu Xiu!

"boom!"

The terrifying force smashed a large crater in the spot, and Chu Xiu floated out first, his eyes filled with even more excitement!
This is the first time we've encountered an enemy that the Berserk Demon Hand can't handle. Although 216 points of strength is strong, it's simply not enough in front of this giant bear with a constitution of 300!

Even more unexpectedly, despite its enormous size, this giant bear was extremely agile. With a roar, after missing its first attack, it immediately leaped up again, its massive body spanning dozens of meters to strike Chu Xiu!

"it is good!"

Chu Xiu roared and charged forward, brandishing his Berserk Demon Hand!
Double the burst!
"boom!"

The collision was like a high-explosive bomb detonating in the air, with a huge shockwave that swept up sand and dust from the ground!

The man and the bear engaged in a fierce battle in the arena. Chu Xiu was agile and would occasionally use the Bone-Piercing Nail to strike the giant bear. Although it could not fundamentally damage it, the penetrating power, which was like an enhanced Barrett, was enough to break through its defenses!
However, dancing on a tightrope is bound to end in an accident. Chu Xiu was unable to inflict enough damage on the giant bear, and in one confrontation, the bear seized an opportunity to strike him with its palm!

At this moment, the berserk demon hand had just been unleashed, and there was no time to defend against it. In other words, this palm strike was completely absorbed by Chu Xiu's main body!

Almost instantly, the shield of the Pain Elder's robe was cleared, and the remaining enormous kinetic energy was completely absorbed by Chu Xiu without any reduction!

"boom!"

Chu Xiu was sent flying backward, and cracks appeared on the part of his skeletal armor that had been struck.

He felt waves of pain in his chest. Although taking that blow with his 150cm frame wouldn't break his bones, it made his chest feel tight and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Without even looking, you can tell that he had at least a large, visible bruise.

But the pain in his chest only excited Chu Xiu more!

He stretched and stood up, his bones cracking and popping all over his body.

His close-quarters combat with the giant bear was merely a test of his melee limits!

Now that the test is complete, he no longer needs to hold back!
With a thought, a dense army of ghostly creatures appeared all around! They did not approach, but instead, in their spirit form, continuously unleashed spells towards the giant bear in the center!
One after another, the Yin Wind Blades slashed at the giant bear's thick fur, tearing open wounds. A large number of Earth Binding Spells were cast on its body, hindering its movement. The resurrected heavy-armored ghouls and ghoul tigers, acting as meat shields, rushed forward and bit its body. At the same time, Chu Xiu took a step forward and leaped high into the air!

Berserk Demon Hand - Triple Burst!
"boom!"

The deafening roar of the collision echoed throughout the entire city!

The intense battle between the two undoubtedly attracted the attention of the awakened individuals in the surrounding area.

These first group of high-ranking awakened individuals, who had all reached the warrior level, climbed to the top of tall buildings and gazed into the distance.

Amidst billowing yellow sand and billowing dust, two figures were locked in fierce combat! Wherever they went, even the most sturdy reinforced concrete buildings were destroyed!
And soon someone recognized the identity of one of the figures!

"The demonic aura emanating from it, the sharp horns on its head, the demonic arms on its back."

"It's the Dark Night King!"

"The Dark Night King has actually entered the central city! And he's fighting against ferocious creatures!"

This astonishing scene stunned all the awakened ones.

"It seems the rumors are true. The Dark Night King is not only incredibly powerful, but he can also grow and level up!"

"My God, how are we supposed to beat such a terrifying boss?"

At this moment, someone said, "It doesn't necessarily mean we have to be enemies with him! You attended yesterday's analysis meeting, so you know how insanely difficult this world mission is! Maybe the Abyss added an ally to our side to balance out this insane difficulty!"

"Perhaps we can weaken the Corpse King's power by guiding the Dark Night King!"

"That makes sense! Quick, let's report this immediately!"

The battle between the Dark Night King and the ferocious monster caused a huge stir among the Awakened Ones. Even Ye Junlin and Lin Wanyue rushed from other areas to watch the battle.

Both of them were shocked after sensing the terrifying power of the Dark Night King.

Ye Junlin, in particular, only now realized that the other party had been toying with him all day! If they had gone all out, he might have escaped with his life, but Wei Shan and Anya would have been dead without a doubt!

Just as everyone was still in shock, the battle between the two sides came to a conclusion.

After fighting for a while, the giant bear let out a fearful whimper and suddenly turned and fled into the distance!

The Dark Night King leaped high into the air, and the already enormous demonic arm behind him seemed to be injected with some kind of powerful energy, growing even larger!
The next moment, it fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the giant bear's head!
"boom!"

The giant bear's hard skull shattered before Chu Xiu's eyes.

Meanwhile, a pleasant notification sound came to his ears.

[Professional Experience +664]

[Item Obtained: 378 Causality Points]

Looking at the enormous corpse in front of him, Chu Xiu couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

With a wave of his hand, the giant bear's corpse began to be refined, and at the same time, the enhancement progress of the skeletal armor increased wildly!
80%,

90%,

95%,

100%!
The notification sounded again the instant the enhancement progress was fully filled.

[The skeletal armor has been upgraded to its maximum level, and the fourth layer of restrictions has been unlocked!]
