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

Chapter 119: Consuming all resources, 20,000 karma points!

"brush!"

Chu Xiu's figure swept swiftly across the city sky, his demonic wings spread behind him, like a giant eagle searching for its prey, soaring across the urban skyline.

Soon, he spotted a ghoul hiding in the bushes. Chu Xiu folded his wings and, under the influence of gravity, quickly swooped down!
"boom!"

The ghoul's body was smashed to pieces by Chu Xiu's powerful physique! It turned into a large cloud of blood mist!
Meanwhile, the death of the ghoul also alarmed the warriors in the area. It roared and ran over, but before it could see Chu Xiu, its head was smashed by a punch!

The death of the samurai caused a widespread riot, and almost all the ghouls in the area were rushing towards this place!
Chu Xiu smiled faintly, waved the Yin Wind Banner, and immediately a large number of ghosts rushed out and frantically slaughtered the nearby corpse ghosts!
The ghouls were shredded into pieces by sharp claws, their dead souls were imprisoned, and their bodies were devoured by the resurrected corpses under Chu Xiu's command to replenish their integrity.

Chu Xiu himself set his sights on the ferocious beast that was rapidly approaching him!

The berserk demon hand appeared behind him, and Chu Xiu flapped his wings, fearlessly meeting the attack!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With several deafening roars, in less than ten seconds, the ferocious-level creature with its powerful vitality was blasted into a bloody pulp by the terrifying power of the Berserk Demon Hand, which was three times stronger.

[Professional Experience +346]

[Item Obtained: 266 Causality Points]

As the notification sound rang, Chu Xiu's smile widened.

Just like he said before, the talent [Blood Symbiosis] is a protective umbrella for the ghouls when he is weak, but when he becomes strong, it is a perfect monster-gathering cage!

"Currently, only I have the ability to easily kill ferocious-level monsters."

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for taking all these resources!"

With this thought in mind, Chu Xiu led his ghost army and slaughtered his way through the enemy ranks.

He started from the outermost edge of the city and cleared out the inland areas step by step, encountering almost no obstacles along the way.

In particular, Chu Xiu became even more reckless after discovering that his large-scale hunt had not attracted the attention of the Corpse King.

Under these circumstances, Chu Xiu's experience, causal points, and the size of his ghost army are all increasing at an astonishing rate!

He was like a bulldozer, leading a vast army of ghosts, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake.

In a given area, there is roughly one fierce-ranked area and ten to twenty warrior-ranked areas. Among these warrior-ranked areas, there is a considerable probability of encountering elites.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn't have time to devour all of these warrior-level creatures; he could only conduct a general search. Some of the corpses hidden in sewers, residential buildings, and other obscure places were simply overlooked.

Even so, Chu Xiu usually manages to complete at least half of them.

He also discovered that the government had organized a large number of awakened individuals who followed him around to eat his leftovers.

For other Awakened Ones, these ghouls, now freed from the protection of their Fiend rank, are undoubtedly a huge resource! Compared to their usual hunting expeditions, which they plan for a long time before venturing into danger, this is much safer and more efficient!

Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred: Chu Xiu was clearing the land ahead, and every time he killed a fierce-level monster in that area, a large number of awakened beings would follow him like ants smelling fresh meat.

He even spotted many familiar faces among them.

This made him chuckle.

However, powerful figures like Qingshan Ye Junlin did not do this; instead, they began to band together to hunt down ferocious-ranked enemies.

While Chu Xiu was surveying the sky, he saw that more than a dozen high-ranking warriors had joined forces in a rare move and had made extensive preparations, including traps, heavy weapons, and evacuation measures.

As Chu Xiu flew closer, he could see the extremely tense expressions on everyone's faces, as if they were afraid that Chu Xiu would collide with them, rendering all their preparations futile.

This made Chu Xiu chuckle inwardly, but he was too lazy to compete with them. He quickly spotted the fierce-ranked enemies in another area and then swooped down without any fancy moves!

Berserk Demon Hand - Triple Burst!
With the added speed of high-speed flight, a punch is unleashed!
"boom!"

Before the ghouls below could react, they exploded!
Why go through all this trouble to kill a ferocious-level enemy?
What Chu Xiu took for granted was nothing short of a horror story in the eyes of the awakened ones.

They were dumbfounded as they stared at the fierce-level enemy that had been smashed to pieces with a single punch.

No, it was over in seconds?
Brother, you were going to put on a show and fight for a few rounds yesterday! How come you defeated me in a flash today?
Is it because you leveled up too fast, or have you been hiding it all along?!

Looking at the painstaking preparations everyone had made to deal with the ferocious level, the group of geniuses were all dumbfounded.

For some reason, even though it was just a wild boss, it inexplicably hurt their self-esteem.

At this moment, all those advanced awakened individuals had only one thought in their minds:
"so horrible!"

"Fortunately, I didn't overestimate my abilities and attack it."

"If a fight really breaks out, we'll be the ones getting crushed."

Of course, Chu Xiu wouldn't know these thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.

At this moment, he was focused on hunting other ferocious beasts.

In fact, he can't kill every ferocious-type monster instantly. Occasionally, he will encounter agile ferocious-type monsters that give him a headache, or monsters with extremely strong defenses.

This took him a little longer. With this focused hunt, he killed seven ferocious-level monsters in just one morning, not to mention countless low-level ghouls!
In fact, if he focused on killing ferocious-level monsters, he could kill more than twice as many. However, doing so would consume his energy too quickly, so it would be better to spend more time having his subordinates clean up the low-level corpses.

After all, these numerous ghouls are extremely useful, both in terms of their bodies and souls, and they are the ones that drop the most loot!

Clearing out an area can easily yield over a thousand Karma Points! The amount of equipment that drops is countless!

And so, Chu Xiu swept along the way, and soon filled his storage bag to the brim.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xiu decisively decided to first spend four thousand karma points to unlock the spirit flesh storage pouch, and then use the flesh and blood scattered on the ground to refine this secret treasure.

He was immediately surprised to find that the spiritual flesh storage pouch had a huge space and could continue to expand by consuming flesh and blood!
In this situation, he wouldn't need to worry about storing items at all. He could even collect all the low-grade equipment and items of the mortal level, including the [common] and [standard] types.

On Earth, mortal-level equipment isn't much cheaper than warrior-level equipment, so these can fetch a very good price when they get back.

In high spirits, Chu Xiu scrolled even more enthusiastically.

By the afternoon, his condition had deteriorated considerably, and his harvest was less during the cautious period, managing to kill only six.

Even so, the large number of corpses and demons cleared away along the way undoubtedly caused Chu Xiu's level to skyrocket!

[Level Up!]

Current Rank: Warrior Level 8

[Level Up!]

Current Rank: Warrior Level 9

In just one day, he leveled up to the maximum level!

Once you reach the maximum level, you can no longer gain experience from killing monsters, so continuing to grind is a waste.

In theory, leaving the remaining monsters for other awakened individuals would maximize their utilization.

But so what?

Is he the kind of person who cares about others?
After a night's rest, Chu Xiu immediately threw himself back into monster-hunting the next day!
After leveling up twice, his monster-killing speed increased again.

Moreover, among the large amount of equipment that was dropped, there were quite a few that could accelerate energy recovery. Now, all ten of his fingers were covered with energy recovery rings, and he drank a bottle of recovery-accelerating potions whenever he had free time, just like drinking sugar water.

In this way, through his frenzied slaughter, Chu Xiu successfully wiped out all the fierce-level enemies within three kilometers of the central tower before nightfall.

At this moment, the number of equipment and items in his spirit and flesh storage pouch had reached an unbelievable level!

"Three [Perfect] items, one of which is of the Fierce Rank. There are more than thirty [Treasured] items. As for the Excellent items, I'm too lazy to count them, but there must be over a hundred."

His monster army has grown to a terrifying size!

There are more than one hundred malevolent ghosts and more than three hundred evil spirits!

The sheer size of it even prompted Chu Xiu to forge an additional Ferocious Soul Banner, which couldn't contain it all.

As for resurrected corpses, there were fewer, since controlling so many ghosts would already put a lot of mental pressure on them.

He only selected the top-tier tanks to refine, resurrecting a total of five, each no less powerful than a Silver Knight! And by devouring the corpses scattered on the ground, he maxed out their completeness!
Even so, there were still a lot of corpses that had nowhere to be used, so Chu Xiu simply used [Corpse Fire Tempering] to strengthen the bone spear and the remaining Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails.

Of course, the biggest gain from killing so many monsters is the vast amount of karmic points.

Even after deducting the 4,000 points for unlocking the spirit and flesh storage pouch, he still has more than 20,000 points!
This made Chu Xiu almost unable to keep his smile going.

This is reasonable, considering that there are more than 30 ferocious-level monsters in the entire central urban area, and the others have only killed four at most. The low-level ghouls and other awakened beings accounted for a larger proportion of the kills, but still did not surpass Chu Xiu's.

If he still lacks causal points when he has almost all the resources, then the others are really out of the game.

Chu Xiu stopped thinking and directly spent 18,000 points to cultivate the Golden Embryo to perfection, and at the same time, he cultivated the Demonic Qi Infusion to the second level!

The maxed-out Golden Embryo Growth skill caused Chu Xiu's physique to surge by another fifty points! Furthermore, his meridians were strengthened, allowing him to use multiple mana outputs more frequently, while also unlocking a four-times mana output mode.

In this mode, the power of spells is increased by an astonishing +150%!

Chu Xiu now felt that even if he disregarded all his fancy skills, his most basic physical attributes alone far surpassed those of other S-rank melee classes.

As for the higher SS and SSS, he had never encountered them, and there was no information about them online, so he couldn't make a judgment. However, Chu Xiu felt that he should at least be no weaker than them.

And he also possesses the most terrifying demonic energy infusion technique.
With the demonic energy infused into his body on the second level, all his stats improved further. After activating it, Chu Xiu felt like he was part of a demolition squad. Every punch he threw was accompanied by a loud "boom," and his Berserk Demon Hand could even smash a small building to pieces with a single punch!
"The third level of demonic energy infusion requires 20,000 karma points." "I basically can't accumulate that number anymore. Of course, with such a huge cost, the final improvement will definitely be considerable."

"In other words, I am now basically at my strongest form in the short term."

"In that case."

Chu Xiu looked at the central tower in the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

"Why don't we just defeat the Corpse King today?"
