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

Chapter 123 Bloody Arena

Chu Xiu never dreamed that he would come to the Bloody Arena in this way.

Although he really wanted to complete this hidden mission, now was not the time!

What made him most unable to hold back was...

"That tongue's suggestion actually worked???"

He was completely numb; it was too bizarre, leaving him unsure whether to laugh or cry.

He sighed softly after a long while.

"Never mind, although this has introduced a change to the mission of conquering the Corpse King, it has also led me to the Bloody Arena by accident."

"Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to find this place without fusing [Legendary] equipment."

"If things go smoothly, it might actually be a good thing."

After calming himself down, Chu Xiu began to ponder the current situation.

After entering the Bloody Arena, he completely lost contact with the outside world, and the monster legion left outside naturally couldn't sense him either.

The good news is that, once they lose his control, the monster legions will go berserk and indiscriminately attack any creature that comes near.

"The Corpse King was already in a weakened state, and in order to send me to the Bloody Arena, he lost three extremely powerful Dark Gold Corpse Demons. Under these circumstances, he could not possibly pose a threat to my demon army."

"If I were it, I would most likely use the home-field advantage to separate these monsters."

The reason why the Dark Gold Corpse Demon was able to succeed in attacking Chu Xiu so quickly was because of the sudden cracking of the flesh-and-blood mutant. Since the flesh-and-blood mutant could change, trapping the demon army should not be difficult.

"And the Awakened Ones probably won't bother them for no reason, so there's no need to worry about the safety of the monster army."

"They even keep attacking the flesh aberrations to increase my damage output."

In fact, the damage that Guang Chuxiu dealt in the first wave was basically enough to ensure that he obtained the [Core Anchor Point]. Now there are only two major variables.

"First, if I remain trapped here, although there is still a high probability of obtaining the [Core Anchor Point], I can forget about the extra rewards of the Blood Moon Ritual."

As long as the monsters are completely trapped with flesh and blood, and they can no longer sense the presence of living beings, they will stop attacking.

"Second, although the Corpse King is in a weakened state, can the remaining Awakened Ones kill him?"

The presence of thousands of awakened individuals is a huge variable in itself. When they unite and fight desperately, they become a powerful force that even Chu Xiu would have to be wary of. However, if they are scattered and scheming against each other, they may not be able to defeat the weakened Corpse King.

The currently vulnerable Corpse King could very well become the trigger for an outbreak of conflict!
"If infighting breaks out over the anchor points, giving the Corpse King an opportunity, or if the conflict drags on until the sea of ​​blood overflows, then we'll be in serious trouble."

Chu Xiu's expression gradually became serious, and he made a decision almost instantly.

We must get back as soon as possible!
Whether it's to rack up more damage for extra rewards or to prevent unforeseen changes in the Corpse King's unsealed power, we need to act quickly!

Having made up his mind, he began to carefully examine his location.

This place seems to be no longer the same world. Beneath our feet lies barren, gray-black earth, and above us, instead of the azure sky formed by the refraction of light from the atmosphere, we can see the distant stars directly.

"No wonder the Bloody Arena is so hard to find; it turns out it's on another planet."

This planet seems to have no air, but Chu Xiu's current physique has long surpassed the limitations of his species, so it doesn't have much of an impact.

Chu Xiu turned his gaze from the horizon to what was in front of him.

Not far from him stood a building resembling the ancient Roman Colosseum, but much larger. Its raised walls, like cliffs rising from the earth, were at least a thousand meters high. In front of this magnificent building, Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

He let out a long breath, pushed off with both feet, and rushed swiftly towards the location of the arena.

Soon, he arrived closer and discovered that many of the crimson giants who had delivered the Blood Moon reward to him were pacing about near the arena. These giants seemed quite busy, and each of them had a tube in their brain, like an umbilical cord, extending all the way to...
Chu Xiu looked in that direction and saw a huge blood moon appear behind the arena.

Chu Xiu hadn't noticed it before because his view was blocked by the arena walls, but now, as the blood moon slowly rose, this behemoth gradually became visible. It almost filled the entire sky, and the dark red light it emitted gave the planet an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

And
"This is definitely not the moon I know!"

At such close range, Chu Xiu realized that what he thought of as the Blood Moon in the Corpse Demon World was more like a gigantic creature than a planet! Its surface was covered with fine hairs that swayed irregularly under the eerie red light, and upon closer inspection, each "hair" was revealed to be a giant tentacle that was tens of kilometers long!
Chu Xiu felt a chill run down his spine. As the blood moon continued to rise, the entire sky was bathed in a dark red glow. A strange feeling suddenly arose in Chu Xiu's heart, as if it were a giant eyeball staring at him.

"Om-"

At that moment, a chilling buzzing sound rang out behind him. Chu Xiu turned around abruptly, only to find a blood-red giant had appeared nearby while he was lost in thought, muttering in an ancient language.

Although Chu Xiu couldn't understand it at all, he inexplicably grasped its meaning.

It is inviting itself to enter.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu stepped into the arena.

At the entrance to the arena, there are four statues: from left to right, a wriggling maggot, a stone fountain, a humanoid bird with six eyes and eight wings, and a withered ancient tree.

Many blood-red giants prostrate themselves near the four statues, seemingly worshipping them.

The crimson giant who had led Chu Xiu in earlier stopped moving after entering, standing motionless behind Chu Xiu and staring at him intently.

"Uh, what do you want me to do?" Chu Xiu was a little confused.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly felt a strange movement in his storage space. With a thought, his tongue appeared in his palm.

The moment it appeared, Tongue shrieked, "Quick! Equip me! You idiot! I can't be here!"

Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still put on the tongue. Immediately, a nauseating feeling came from his mouth. The tongue was like a parasite, clinging tightly to Chu Xiu's original tongue.

After hiding inside Chu Xiu's mouth, the tongue seemed much more at ease and began to speak, manipulating Chu Xiu's tongue: "I didn't expect you could actually find this place!"

"Is this the Bloody Arena?"

"Of course, but how did you get here? Just with that little clue?"

Chu Xiu quickly recounted his experience, leaving Tongue speechless: "It's possible?" Chu Xiu also found it quite amazing, but he didn't say anything more, only asking, "So what's the situation now, and what do I need to do?"

"This allows you to choose your own ruler. When you stand on the altar, you can communicate with the four gods."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu stepped onto the altar, but showed no reaction whatsoever.

"What's going on here?" Chu Xiu asked in a low voice.

"This means that none of the four of them are interested in you."

Chu Xiu: "???"

"This is an ancient arena established by the four gods. Those who come here using teleportation artifacts left over from the old world are at the very bottom, and are generally far inferior to the warriors carefully selected and trained by the four gods," Tongue replied in a low voice.

Chu Xiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I don't even respect them! So how am I supposed to leave now?"

"Win three battles to obtain the Gladiator's Mark and a teleportation item."

"Then how do we fight?"

"You must first choose a monarch."

Chu Xiu: "."

The tongue twitched and said, "There's no other way now. You can only choose the second god from the left, because you come from the realm of the Boundless Blood Pool, so He won't refuse you."

"Drip a drop of blood on it, and be quick, the blood infant behind you is getting impatient."

Chu Xiu glanced back at the hundred-meter-tall crimson giant behind him without leaving a trace, and was speechless. You're telling me this thing is called a Blood Infant?
Without thinking further, Chu Xiu quickly stepped forward and dripped a drop of blood onto the stone fountain.

The moment the blood dripped onto the fountain, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out. In the center of the fountain, it seemed as if an eye opened, but after glancing at Chu Xiu, it quickly closed again.

An ancient language resounded in the air.

Immediately, the two blood infants guarding the door moved aside, and the arena gate slowly opened.

"Tongue, what does that mean?"

"Your level is too low, and you've been rejected again. The Boundless Blood Pool is indicating that you're being sent to the Brawl Arena."

"Those are all desperate bastards. To earn the right to become a formal gladiator, those lunatics would crush your head or their own without hesitation!"

"But you don't need to worry too much. You are a Warrior, so you will only be matched with Warrior-class enemies."

Will I only be matched with Warrior-class enemies?

Chu Xiu was relieved and stepped into the arena.

However, as soon as he stepped into the arena, a strange feeling arose in his heart; there seemed to be something wrong with the space here.

And it turned out that this was not his imagination. The vast space began to shrink at an astonishing speed, and the scenery changed accordingly. In the blink of an eye, he was in a lush forest. The huge walls around him had completely disappeared. Only the blood moon above his head still occupied the entire sky, emitting an eerie light, like a huge, emotionless observer.

The ancient language resounded in the air once more.

"What does this mean now?"

"Kid, translations cost money. I'll help you this once, and you'll have to give me more blood wine."

"Okay, okay," Chu Xiu quickly agreed.

Then the tongue began to move, controlling his tongue: "You're a bit unlucky. The Boundless Blood Pool seems to dislike you for forcibly joining its ranks, so it has arranged a terrifying opponent for you in the arena."

"This guy has already won eleven consecutive matches. If he wins two more, even if no god is willing to accept him, he can still become a formal gladiator."

"I suspect the Boundless Blood Pool intends to use it to eliminate you."

The tongue's words made Chu Xiu understand a little. He had been teleported here through those three skulls, which was equivalent to using some kind of back door.

Not only can they participate in the competition, but they can also forcefully demand that the Boundless Blood Pool accept them. In this way, they only need to win three matches to become a formal gladiator, while those who are not accepted by the gods need to win thirteen matches, and there will definitely be differences in benefits.

The Boundless Blood Pool hates people who use back channels and wants to kill itself as soon as possible.

Chu Xiu understood perfectly. It was like when you finally assembled a full team of SSR characters in a game, and then someone forced a low-level character into the team. He would feel uncomfortable with that too.

"But no matter what, there's only one thing I need to do, and that's to win this battle!"

"The opponent on an eleven-game winning streak?"

A solemn expression appeared on Chu Xiu's face. At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the distant forest, and the next moment, a huge figure five meters tall leaped out!

"coming!"

Chu Xiu's eyes widened without the slightest hesitation. The Berserk Demon Hand appeared behind him, and he threw a punch!
At the same time, three Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails appeared in his palm.

Chu Xiu had completed the setup in an instant. Because the multiplied magic power output generated by the Golden Embryo would produce a large amount of energy fluctuations in a short period of time, it would be easily detected by powerful individuals with extremely high perception attributes, allowing them to prepare and dodge in advance. Therefore, Chu Xiu only used the ordinary Berserk Heavenly Demon Hand.

This punch was both to test the opponent's strength and to conceal the energy fluctuations within his body. At this moment, the other Heavenly Demon Hand was already accumulating power behind him. Just as the two were about to collide, Chu Xiu would shoot out the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail to seal the opponent's position. At the same time, he would use the Berserk Heavenly Demon Hand, which had been charged up and had four times the output, to deliver a super-powerful blow!
However, just as he was about to shoot the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nail to block the opponent's movement, a loud "bang" suddenly came, and the flying figure exploded into pieces in front of the berserk demon's hand.

Chu Xiu: ".?"

He stared at the blood and flesh splattered all over the ground and fell into deep thought.

Wait, what happened to the terrifying opponent with the promised eleven-game winning streak?

He didn't even get a good look at what he looked like before it shattered!
Just then, he heard a notification sound.

You have gained the attention of the Boundless Blood Pool.
