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

Chapter 199 Newborn Blood Demon

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Under his solemn gaze, a rock below began to churn violently like ocean waves.

The next moment, with a loud bang, the rocks on the ground were shattered by the huge impact, and a huge, blood-red creature leaped out from it!

Chu Xiu's pupils contracted slightly. What appeared before him was an extremely disgusting creature. Its body was enormous, nearly ten meters tall, like a bloodied man who had been skinned. All that could be seen were bright red muscle fibers and adhered fascia.

More than a dozen bright red tentacles grew from its back, resembling a dozen tails swaying in the air.

[Newborn Blood Demon (Leader) (Weak)]

[Rank] King Rank 9

[Attributes] Constitution? ? ?, Spirit? ? ?, Energy Level? ? ?
【Skill】???,???,???
[Traits] Super Regeneration, Blood Demon Physique, Buddhist Mark, ? ? ?, ? ?
[Talent] Blood Demon's Touch, ? ? ?, ? ?
A terrifying panel appeared before Chu Xiu's eyes.

A level 9 King-rank leader!

Furthermore, even under the scan of the Blood-Burning Golden Eyes, there was still a large amount of unknown data! The screen full of question marks made Chu Xiu's scalp tingle.

“A normal creature with three or more traits is already an elite-level monster, but this one has more than five in terms of both talent and traits!”

Furthermore, Chu Xiu was certain that these talents and traits were definitely not low-level, shoddy goods, but rather extremely powerful, high-level traits from superior beings! Otherwise, his Blood-Burning Golden Eyes would have been able to see them.

"There's also a Buddhist mark among its traits. Does this mean that this blood demon, through some fortuitous encounter, even acquired Buddhist supernatural powers?"

The more Chu Xiu observed, the more alarmed he became.

To be honest, if it weren't for the sign of weakness behind the name of this calamity, he would have turned around and run away long ago.

"How are you feeling?" Qin Xiang's voice rang out from the side.

Chu Xiu lowered his head to sense his surroundings and answered truthfully, "I wasn't seriously injured, but I have very little energy left in my body. As for my summoned army, they are also in very poor condition."

Chu Xiu was not lying. Although the process of taking down two King-level generals was uneventful, it was by no means easy. The two of them used their trump cards to take down three of Chu Xiu's Ghost Generals, and the remaining seven were also in very poor condition.

Not to mention, without the buffs of hundreds of fierce ghosts and general's command, the Ghost General's combat strength is not particularly outstanding, at least not reaching the level of a king.

"Then we'll have no choice but to give up on this world."

Qin Xiang sighed heavily.

He had just forcibly used his skill, causing the poison, which he had barely managed to suppress, to erupt again. Moreover, the process of fighting the poison and the King-level enemy had also consumed too much of his energy.

Qin Xiang might still be able to fight for another ten seconds or so, but he would no longer have the ability to kill the Calamity.

"Moreover, Blood Demons are known for their vitality and are extremely difficult to deal with."

Qin Xiang shook his head helplessly.

Even if he didn't say it, Chu Xiu already knew what was going to happen next.

At this point, the calamity had completely broken free of its restraints. As the first calamity to be resurrected, it had no enemies or rivals in this place, but there was a large amount of flesh and blood in this world for it to devour.

In this situation, if it is not killed in time, its strength will recover at an extremely terrifying speed.

It should be able to fully recover from its injuries in three days at most, and in another week, it will most likely be able to advance to Heroic Spirit and return to its peak condition!
On the other hand, the four king-level warriors originally intended to deal with the calamity were either dead or injured, leaving only Mu Wu, whose condition was unknown.

If he escapes quickly enough, he might be able to retain enough strength, but
"Given Mu Wu's cautious nature, if I'm not mistaken, he would have initiated the breakout the moment he created distance."

"I just tried to contact him, but I haven't received a reply."

Qin Xiang sighed again.

Chu Xiu remained silent for a while, but showed no disappointment on his face; he simply nodded calmly.

If he were Mu Wu, he would have done the same, because Mu Wu was unaware of the game involving nuclear weapons and could not have foreseen that Chu Xiu would have the ability to kill Li Zhan.

In his view, Li Zhan and Wen Feiyan would come looking for trouble after dealing with the two of them, so he naturally had to leave as soon as possible.

"However, there is a cooling-off period of about two weeks before you can re-enter after leaving."

"By then, this calamity will have evolved to an unknown extent."

"Even if they haven't become Heroic Spirits yet, they are still extremely troublesome to deal with. What's more, if they are more cautious and hide to develop slowly, we simply have no way to find a way to deal with them."

"As for asking for help from higher authorities, that won't work either. The [Anchor Points] have all been used up, and it will take at least two months to get new [Anchor Points]. By then, the calamity will have already created [Heroic Spirits]."

Most importantly, Qin Xiang needed to ensure Chu Xiu's safety.

After witnessing Chu Xiu's terrifying talent, Qin Xiang was certain that even among all twenty-seven civilization envoys, Chu Xiu's talent was among the top, after all, he was an unprecedented SSS-level summoner!

A genius of this caliber must be carefully protected! Once he matures, his value surpasses that of a dozen worlds combined! Therefore, he will not take any risks whatsoever!

Almost the instant Qin Xiang finished transmitting his voice, the newly emerged blood demon let out a long howl, the howl echoing in the empty valley, sending chills down one's spine.

Immediately afterwards, the corpses of the decaying creatures that had been crushed into flesh and blood by the earthquake began to melt at a visible speed around the calamity, leaving only a pool of foul-smelling blood in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a blood-red mist containing rich life essence was extracted from the melted corpse and absorbed into the Blood Demon's body.

As the Blood Demon moved around the field, it absorbed the life essence within a radius of 100 meters around its body, causing its aura to surge rapidly at an extremely fast speed!
Upon seeing this, Qin Xiang completely gave up hope.

"They stockpiled a large number of corrupted creatures and left them on the surface to die. Fortunately, they had the means to replenish their lives immediately after they escaped. I never expected that this calamity would even consider this step."

Qin Xiang shook his head with a face full of reluctance, but in the end he could only sigh and say, "All we can do now is organize the remaining Awakened to evacuate and minimize the losses as much as possible."

"I will hold back the calamity; you and your summoned creatures will evacuate the trapped people."

"I just sent a notification using the communication tool. Once we reach a safe environment, we will immediately detach and return to Earth!"

"This world is beyond saving!"

Qin Xiang's words made Chu Xiu lower his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long pause, he looked up and said, "Don't worry, senior, I will make sure the rest of you are all safely evacuated."

Qin Xiang nodded with satisfaction, said no more, and rushed towards the calamity below.

Instead of confronting the calamity head-on, he used his skills to stall for time, maximizing the duration of the battle and at least holding out for another minute or two. Chu Xiu also wasted no time, waving the Yin Soul Banner to release all the remaining ghosts to rescue the trapped Awakened Ones.

"boom!"

The demon general easily crushed a huge rock, then rescued a trapped awakened one.

The awakened one was initially filled with fear upon seeing the ghost general, but gradually relaxed after realizing that the ghost general meant no harm.

Meanwhile, some high-level awakened individuals realized the seriousness of the situation and returned to help.

Zhang Qingshan was naturally among them, but to Chu Xiu's surprise, Guan Ke and Su Jinyu also came down.

With everyone's combined efforts, all the awakened ones soon returned to Earth.

"How's the situation?"

A minute and a half later, Qin Xiangfei, pale-faced, returned to Chu Xiu's side.

The calamity seemed to have seen through his plan and did not make things difficult for him, but simply devoured the flesh and blood on its own.

This calamity has now devoured millions of corrupted creatures, and its aura has increased by at least one-tenth compared to before.

One-tenth isn't a lot, but considering it only took one and a half minutes, it's particularly outrageous.

"All the awakened ones that were discovered have been safely returned."

"As for those who have fallen into the cracked ground and are buried deeper, perhaps some of them can barely hold on with the help of defensive equipment, but we no longer have the ability or time to conduct a search and rescue operation."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang sighed softly, "There's no other way then, let's leave immediately."

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Senior, you go first. I'll take care of the aftermath. I have a flying summon. As long as I maintain a safe distance, even if the Blood Demon suddenly attacks, I can leave calmly."

Qin Xiang didn't mince words, simply saying, "Be careful, and return immediately once everyone has evacuated."

Although he felt it was a loss of face to have Chu Xiu, a junior, cover the retreat, he knew it was the best option at the moment, as his condition did not allow him to act recklessly.

After giving one last instruction, Qin Xiang launched his breakout.

Chu Xiu watched as his figure gradually blurred and disappeared completely before withdrawing his gaze.

However, instead of returning immediately as agreed, he lowered his eyes slightly, looked down at the Blood Demon below, and revealed a smile.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a large number of causal points were taken out from the storage space!
The creature before them was a level 9 King-rank leader! And it was in a weakened state!
Given Chu Xiu's personality, he naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

What he has to do is to eliminate the calamity with his own strength!

There are three reasons why he cooperated with Qin Xiang. First, he wanted to keep all the benefits for himself. If he revealed his plan to Qin Xiang, the other party would definitely assist him.

Secondly, demonstrate your teamwork skills in front of this senior investigator.

Stronger talent will certainly bring more resources, but it will also attract more suspicion.

After all, if you spend a lot of resources to raise a thankless child, then even the greatest talent will be wasted!
Since Chu Xiu wanted to develop steadily based on the existing order, he couldn't keep all the benefits to himself forever; he had to occasionally show his "altruism."

As for the last point, Chu Xiu did not want to fully reveal his strength.

His summoned army was already astonishing, perhaps even a little too astonishing.

Being ten times better than an average person makes you a genius, but being ten thousand times better makes you a monster!

Before he has mastered enough strength, he does not want to fully reveal his talent. It is enough to show it appropriately and seize the benefits. If he reveals it all, even the Heavenly Kings may have bad ideas about him!

Although he now dominates his generation, he is still too weak in the face of true powerhouses!
Once he made up his mind, Chu Xiu did not hesitate. He directly absorbed the causal points in his palm and invested them all into the "Golden Muscle Nether Bone" technique!
Just now, while rescuing the others, he also checked all the valuable items on the two King-level beings.

The most noteworthy item is undoubtedly the large quantity of high-quality King-tier equipment!

Both of them are veteran King-level warriors who have been training in the Abyss for over a decade. Even their worst equipment is [Treasured]!
King-level equipment is a completely different concept from Warrior-level and Mortal-level equipment. Even equipment of the [Treasured] quality is priceless.

Especially Li Zhan, who became the son-in-law of the Zhang family, has half of his equipment as "perfect"!
As for items, there are even more. Although a lot of them were used up in previous battles, they are still a huge amount of resources.

Unfortunately, neither of them possessed any [Legendary] items, so Chu Xiu couldn't use these equipment or exchange them for resources.

"But that's normal. How rare are the King-level [Legendary] items? Naturally, they are not something ordinary people can obtain. As for the lower-level [Legendary] items, for high-level Awakened, exchanging them for resources is the correct way to deal with them."

When Chu Xiu reaches the King rank in the future, he will be able to find better alternatives for legendary general-rank creatures like the Vampire Earl's Wings.

Besides these two, there were two other items on these two people that caught Chu Xiu's attention.

【Soul-Gathering Treasure Box (Full)】

【Mountain Beyond the Tower Token (Mysterious)】

There was no information displayed on these two items, and with time running out, Chu Xiu didn't examine them closely but instead put them away.

What he was really concerned about was the cause and effect between the two of them!

These two kings already had a lot of karma points on them. Along the way, they killed a large number of corrupted creatures, especially in the cave, where they killed many corrupted Buddhist followers. Their number of karma points reached a huge number!

The combined karmic points of the two individuals amounted to a staggering 130,000!
Adding in Chu Xiu's previous accumulation of karmic points, it's already close to 250,000! That completely meets the cultivation requirements of "Golden Muscle Nether Bone"!

At this moment, the Blood Demon was frantically devouring the flesh and blood scattered on the ground, and its aura was also increasing rapidly at an astonishing rate.

This made Chu Xiu sigh, "With such a rapid growth rate, it's no wonder that even Senior Qin felt despair."

"But unfortunately"

"My growth surpasses yours!"

Without further hesitation, a massive amount of causal points surged into Chu Xiu's body!
He could feel every cell in his body rejoicing and evolving in an unknown direction! His muscles became stronger, his bones harder, and his entire body was undergoing a transformative change!
Ten thousand karmic points, fifty thousand karmic points, two hundred thousand karmic points!

But after consuming more than 200,000 causal points, Chu Xiu felt a "boom" and an unprecedentedly powerful force surged out from his body!

[Consuming 213328 Karma Points, the sixth level of Golden Muscle and Nether Bone cultivation has been completed!]
