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

Chapter 130 Heavenly Blood Vine

"The Dark King! It's the Dark King!"

The moment that figure appeared, the awakened ones recognized him, and their eyes were filled with renewed hope.

With the strength of the Night King, he might be able to defeat the Corpse King!

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the Dark Night King charged forward without hesitation, his demonic arm slamming down towards the Corpse King!

"boom!"

The Corpse King dodged, his facial injuries rapidly healing, and fearlessly engaged the Dark Night King in battle!
The two moved at high speed through the labyrinth of flesh and blood, destroying walls wherever they went, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

As the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, some awakened individuals tried to escape, but Ye Junlin stopped them immediately!
"Haven't you noticed that since the Blood Moon Ritual began, the space around the central tower has been sealed off, making it impossible to escape?"

"It's too late to run now! Only a fight to the death offers a glimmer of hope!"

"We must help the Night King defeat the Corpse King!"

Ye Junlin's words made the Awakened Ones, who were originally preparing to escape to the top of the tower, stop in their tracks.

Those who can rise to the rank of Warrior are not stupid. They understand that if the Dark Night King is defeated, they can at most prolong their lives for ten minutes or so, but in the end, they will still face certain death!
At this moment, Zhang Qingshan, who had barely recovered some of his injuries using healing items, also stood up and said in a deep voice, "Zhiwen, immediately synchronize the intelligence with everyone, contact the leaders of other teams, and organize manpower to snipe the Corpse King."

"Even if we can't participate in the battle head-on, we must do our best to help the Night King!"

As Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, everyone began to take action. Ye Junlin flapped his wings and flew out of the tower, circling around it. With his high mobility, he was the first to catch up with the battlefield where the Dark Night King and the Corpse King were fighting!

Both were incredibly fast, clashing fiercely with their fists. Even the slightest overflow of their terrifying power was enough to shatter the surrounding walls of flesh and blood.

This sent chills down Ye Junlin's spine. Only then did he realize that when the Corpse King fought with them earlier, he was probably testing his recovery ability and hadn't used his full strength at all!

Otherwise, with its incredible speed of movement alone, no one would have been able to hit it!

"The Dark King must hold on, otherwise even if the rest of us risk our lives, we will never be able to defeat this terrifying creature!"

Unfortunately, despite initially delivering a surprise punch to the Corpse King, the Dark Night King found himself at a disadvantage!

"This Corpse King's physique is probably over 800! Add to that its freakish regenerative ability, and it's definitely at the level of a ferocious leader!"

"And the Night King."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ye Junlin's forehead. In his estimation, the Dark Night King's physical constitution was not even over four hundred! At this moment, he was barely holding on thanks to the pair of wings behind him and the powerful demonic arms!
"Although the Night King still has many ghouls under his command, they probably won't be of much use in a battle of this level."

"And the duration of my Overlimit Essence has already passed halfway!"

Thinking of this, Ye Junlin became extremely anxious. He quickly turned the floating heavy cannon around, aimed at the Corpse King's position, and pulled the trigger!
Propelled by gunpowder, each shell accelerated to an astonishing speed in the blink of an eye! Plunging at high speed from the sky, upon impacting the polymer of flesh and blood, the explosions generated massive shockwaves, and raging flames engulfed everything in an instant!
However, the Corpse King was too fast, and the cannonballs could not hit it head-on. As for the impact and flames of the explosion, they could only cause some superficial injuries, which it could fully recover in less than a breath!
On the contrary, the Dark King lost his footing under the shockwave, and countless shards hit him, making a sharp "clang clang clang" sound.

"This"

Ye Junlin saw the Dark Night King look up and glare at him fiercely.

Immediately, two new types of ghouls floated over and blocked his way.

"Does this mean I shouldn't cause trouble?"

Ye Junlin gave a bitter smile, a huge sense of frustration rising in his heart.

From childhood, he was the pride of heaven, the focus of everyone's attention. In Jiangcheng, he was undoubtedly the number one genius. Before setting off to conquer the world mission, he was full of confidence. He had even imagined countless times in his mind the scene of turning the tide and leading everyone to defeat the Corpse King.

But who would have thought that he wouldn't even be qualified to intervene in the final battle!
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. Survival is more important than anything else."

"But will the Abyss really let us do nothing and just rely on a random world boss that appears halfway through to clear the game?"

Ye Junlin frowned, lost in deep thought.

If Chu Xiu knew what this guy was thinking, he'd probably be furious.

Brother, without you guys causing trouble, I would have smashed the Corpse King to death with one punch long ago!

Chu Xiu's perfect start for everyone was turned into a desperate situation by them.

Originally, if he had simply followed the proper steps to dismantle the wall, he would have been guaranteed to win! So guaranteed that even in the Bloody Arena, Chu Xiu was worried that his core anchor point might be stolen by someone else.

Unfortunately, human nature is like this: only under the pressure of external forces can people work together. When the external forces disappear, they will fall into internal strife and conflict.

"boom!"

As Chu Xiu and the Corpse King exchanged blows again, Chu Xiu's berserk demonic hand smashed the Corpse King's face into a bloody mess, while he himself was also hit and sent flying backward!

"boom!"

The immense impact caused him to crash into a wall of flesh and blood, and even with the skeletal armor protecting him, he still felt a dull pain in his chest.

This Corpse King is very strong, with a physique more than twice that of Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu needs to rely on the Berserk Demon Hand, which outputs three times the mana, to barely keep up with him.

With his current physique, he can maintain a three-fold increase in mana output for a long time by relying on the Golden Embryo Origin and the Unjustly Died Substitute, without damaging his meridians. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the Corpse King's attack at all.

But this is just one-sided beating. To have power surpassing that of the Corpse King, one must activate the demonic energy infusion!

The reason why this skill has not been used yet is that Chu Xiu is testing the Corpse King's regenerative abilities.

Once the demonic energy infusion is activated, there is no turning back. If the Corpse King cannot be defeated in a short time, then the one who will be defeated will be himself!
"After mastering the Demonic Qi Infusion technique, once activated, my physique will immediately surge to nearly 700! The Berserk Demon Hand, with its four times the mana output, can reach a maximum strength of 1700!"

However, activating both states simultaneously places a huge burden on the body, and even if the Golden Embryo Origin and the Unjustly Died Substitute are activated at the same time, it cannot be maintained for long!

If the Corpse King discovers something amiss and starts to escape, given its 800 physique and abnormal recovery speed, Chu Xiu really isn't confident he can kill it within the time limit.

Therefore, Chu Xiu was always looking for an opportunity to strike unexpectedly and kill in one blow!
However, during this period of exchanging blows, he discovered that the Corpse King's regenerative ability was simply unbelievably strong! It was as if it were endless!
Although Ye Junlin's performance was lackluster, the floating heavy cannon was no joke; even Chu Xiu would have a hard time taking it head-on!
However, the Corpse King was able to bathe in the midst of gunfire and recover quickly. Even the fourfold Heavenly Demon Hand attack by Chu Xiu at the beginning only slightly cracked his bones.

Although the attack consumed some energy because it struck the flesh wall first, it was still astonishing enough.

"Could this be the power bestowed by the extraterrestrial demons?"

Chu Xiu's expression was solemn as he dealt with the Corpse King while constantly observing the situation.

He was certain that this power could not be infinite. Even in the extraordinary world, the law of conservation of energy still applies. For example, during the battle with the Avatar of Pain, the energy that the Avatar recovered came from absorbing the pain energy of its followers.

With a cold snort, Chu Xiu summoned the demon army to converge on this side. A large number of demons consumed the Corpse King's energy in a manner that was almost suicidal.

But even after thirty-four ferocious ghosts self-destructed, the Corpse King's regenerative ability showed no signs of weakening!
"boom!"

Another loud bang! The Corpse King's heavy fist slammed into the hand of the berserk demon who was blocking the attack, and the huge impact sent Chu Xiu flying!

He scrambled to his feet, narrowly avoiding the Corpse King's follow-up attacks, his skeletal armor already showing cracks!

But just then, Chu Xiu suddenly noticed something and turned his gaze to the bloody wall of flesh he had smashed into. Within it, there seemed to be extremely tiny blood vessels, from which blood was flowing.

"I see."

He got it.

Faced with the Corpse King's continued attacks, Chu Xiu did not dodge this time. The two berserk demon hands behind him quickly stretched out, one blocking in front of him, and the other raised high, smashing down from the sky to the Corpse King's feet!
The Corpse King could have easily dodged this attack, but strangely, he didn't move. Instead, he stood still and took the hit head-on!
"boom!"

The bricks beneath the Corpse King's feet shattered, and his soles sank deep into them.

Meanwhile, if you look closely, you can see that countless tiny blood vessels are connected to the area around its feet, continuously supplying it with fresh blood!

"As expected!" Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed.

According to the rules of the Blood Moon Ritual, when the Corpse King comes into contact with the sea of ​​blood, he will recover from his injuries and continuously accumulate points!

The Corpse King's body was far more than just the exposed flesh and mutated matter; countless tiny blood vessels had already seeped into the structure of the central tower!
"No wonder this guy always stands still when repairing his body, and no wonder his power is unsealed so quickly!"

In fact, Chu Xiu should have thought of this long ago. After all, on the first day he entered the central urban area, he saw the blood vessels that covered the entire city! And every zombie in the city could replenish its energy and repair its injuries from the blood in the blood vessels!
At this moment, these numerous blood vessels were completely submerged in a sea of ​​blood!
Although these blood vessels are not part of the Corpse King, it is clear that the Corpse King has connected to them in some way to heal his injuries! He draws almost endless energy from the sea of ​​blood!
No wonder its power was unsealed so quickly! Actually, the number of people killed by the Extreme Path is not particularly large, and they are mainly low-level awakened individuals. It seems that the main points are accumulated through the Blood Sea.

Although the rules state that the Blood Sea will reach the Corpse King's location an hour later, they don't say that the Corpse King can't actively contact the Blood Sea!

Upon realizing that Chu Xiu had discovered him, the Corpse King stopped pretending.

It grinned, and its scarlet pupils revealed an extremely human-like expression of mockery!
At the same time, the fleshy walls surrounding the two began to crumble, as if a huge creature was growing and about to burst out of the ground!

"Boom!"

The entire tower began to shake, and pieces of plaster fell off, revealing thick, continuously expanding blood vessels underneath. Nourished by the sea of ​​blood, these vessels were growing and expanding. As the concrete walls completely collapsed, the enormous creature was fully revealed.

Veins clung to the steel frame of the tower like roots, and dozens of fleshy growths hung like real plants, making the whole thing look like a giant fleshy plant!
The exposed, mutated flesh and blood was already incredibly large, but its size was less than half that of the flesh and blood plant!

At this moment, the countless blood vessels of this flesh and blood plant are continuously supplying power to the Corpse King above!
These flesh-and-blood plants grow extremely fast, and their main bodies are immersed in a sea of ​​blood, making them even more difficult to destroy than the Corpse King's own body! Without destroying those countless blood vessels, the Corpse King will continuously receive a supply of life force!

The moment they realized this fact, the group of awakened individuals watching nearby were filled with utter despair.

This is a completely unsolvable dilemma!
But what was even more devastating was yet to come: countless blood-soaked corpses began to climb up the steel frame, while the fleshy tumors submerged in the sea of ​​blood throbbed and pulsated as if life were pulsating within them!

"puff!"

Suddenly, a sharp claw tore open the tumor from the inside, and a hideous, blood-red ghoul crawled out.

This ghoul possessed warrior-level power from the very beginning, and with the help of the sea of ​​blood, it rapidly advanced towards ferocious-level!

One Corpse King is terrifying enough, but dozens more Ferocious Rank 3 monsters are about to appear!
"Life is born from a sea of ​​blood."

The ancient will of the Corpse King resounded in the arena.

"The moment the [Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine] touched the sea of ​​blood, your fate was sealed."

"After you die, I will be completely freed from the shackles of the abyss and evolve towards a higher level of life, while my bloodline will continue to rule this land!"

With the Corpse King's will, more blood-red ghouls emerged from the tumor, letting out sharp howls!
The awakened ones were all pale-faced, while the Corpse King opened his arms as if to welcome the arrival of a new century!

However, at that moment, a discordant voice shattered this great moment.

"I'm curious."

Chu Xiu calmly straightened his long robe.

"Was this habit of opening champagne during the second half of the game something you had before you died?"

Chu Xiu's words instantly turned the Corpse King's eyes cold.

It lowered its arms, its thoughts reverberating around it: "Outsider, stop pretending to be calm. With your level of power, it is impossible for you to destroy the Sky-Reaching Blood Vine soaking in the sea of ​​blood. I have already established a connection with the Blood Vine through the tower. As long as I am in the tower, I can continuously replenish myself from the Blood Vine."

The Corpse King's confident words made Chu Xiu's lips curl into a slight smile.

"All I can say is that you know nothing about power."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of demonic energy suddenly rose from his body! The demonic energy twisted and deformed in the air, resembling a ferocious demon roaring in terror!

Chu Xiu took a step forward, his speed much faster than before. Before the Corpse King could react, he had already rushed in front of the Corpse King!
The next moment, the berserk demon hand suddenly blasted out like a cannonball that had been prepared for a long time!

The punch was too fast; the Corpse King had no time to dodge and could only barely raise his arm to block before being hit!
The immense force instantly blasted the Corpse King away, breaking the bones in its arms and blurring the flesh and blood, even revealing the exposed, white bones!
"???"

An incredulous look flashed in the Corpse King's blood-red pupils. The power of Chu Xiu's punch was almost three times that of the previous one!
Looking at Chu Xiu's figure shrouded in demonic energy, for some reason, a fear from the depths of its genes suddenly rose in its heart, as if the person standing in front of it was not an ordinary human, but a high-ranking demon god!
Faced with Chu Xiu's power, which far surpassed that of a ferocious beast, it now had only one thought: to defend with all its might and withstand Chu Xiu's attack. It knew that this state could not be maintained for long, otherwise Chu Xiu would have used it long ago!
"Roar!"

The Corpse King roared, his arms hardening rapidly to protect himself, catching Chu Xiu's second attack. At the same time, countless blood vessels extended from the tower to receive it, continuously supplying him with fresh blood.

The moment the blood was injected, the wounds on his body began to heal rapidly!
Just as it says, the connection with the Heavenly Blood Vine gives it almost inexhaustible vitality.

But as Chu Xiu said, it knew nothing about power.

After Chu Xiu found a way to heal its injuries, he had already devised a foolproof plan to kill it!

Another punch, four times more powerful than the Berserk Demon Hand, was unleashed. With a force of 1,700 points, the Corpse King's body shattered and flew backward once more. However, a hint of smugness flashed in the Corpse King's eyes.

It discovered that the hardened state, combined with the repairing effect of the Heavenly Blood Vine, allowed it to withstand Chu Xiu's attacks!

However, just as it was secretly relieved, it did not notice that the successive heavy blows had pushed it to the edge of the tower!

With a powerful push of his hind foot, Chu Xiu charged forward again in front of the Corpse King amidst a deafening explosion. The Corpse King hastily defended, but this time he did not attack. Instead, the berserk demonic hand, enveloped in demonic energy, suddenly grabbed the Corpse King's still-repairing body. Then, with a flap of its wings, it carried the Corpse King straight into the sky!

Upon realizing what Chu Xiu had done, the Corpse King's eyes showed terror for the first time. It roared and struggled wildly, but was firmly held by the Berserk Demon Hand!
Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Chu Xiu led the Corpse King soaring into the clouds!

The next instant, crimson blood blossomed in the sky.
