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

Chapter 215 Hungry Ghost Leader
It was a divine golden light, not as dazzling as sunlight, but with the vastness, majesty, and warmth of the sun, as if it could dispel the unease and fear in people's hearts. In addition, it had a sacredness that made people want to worship.

Even the soldiers who were fleeing in panic stopped involuntarily and stared blankly at the dazzling figure above them.

Meanwhile, the hungry ghosts in the distance seemed to sense some great threat. The smiles on the faces of the higher-ranking hungry ghosts disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression as if facing a formidable enemy, while the lower-ranking hungry ghosts twisted their bodies uneasily, as if they wanted to escape at any moment.

This unbelievable scene left all the soldiers wide-eyed.

Were those hungry ghosts afraid?
They had never seen a hungry ghost and were afraid!
But now, those extremely ferocious hungry ghosts are afraid of a human! Even reincarnated holy monks don't have this ability!

At this moment, a thought involuntarily arose in the minds of all the generals who had seen Chu Xiu before.

Could the person before me truly be the Buddha?

Chu Xiu looked down and was very pleased with the expressions on the soldiers' faces, which were as if they had witnessed a miracle.

Chu Xiu added special effects.

Driven by the Blood-Burning Golden Eyes, a majestic and dazzling golden light surrounded him, making him radiate an awe-inspiring holy light, as if he were truly a reincarnation of Buddha.

It is very difficult to persuade a civilization.

Even if he demonstrates absolute power at the first moment, the ruler's first reaction will still be suspicion, vigilance, or even resistance.

This is because people always have an instinctive resistance to sudden external things.

Chu Xiu could easily defeat all his opponents one by one with his absolute strength.

However, the risks and costs are too high. The Buddhist community, aware of his danger, might outwardly comply but secretly incite unrest, adding great uncertainty to the mission.

After all, it wasn't enough for him to just eliminate the enemy; he also needed to safely bring everyone in this place back to the Shiki world. If he used violence to shake the ruling structure of this world, there might be unexpected trouble.

The best approach is to utilize the existing religions in the area.

"However, with my current strength, in the eyes of these people, I am indeed no different from the real Buddha."

"Now, let's stop wasting time and get this sorted out as soon as possible."

Chu Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the restless hungry ghosts in the distance. Dense destructive energy condensed into an emerald green blade in his hand. With the infusion of the Golden Embryo Origin, the energy continued to rise, and finally transformed into a three-meter-long giant sword that exuded the aura of death at all times!

The True Demon Blade of Judgment!

The next moment, Chu Xiu raised his hand and swung it down suddenly!
In an instant, a torrent of destructive energy poured out, like a divine punishment that would destroy the world. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed a large number of hungry ghosts. The torrent of destructive energy was like a flood that was instantly boiled at the center of a nuclear explosion. The hungry ghosts touched by the torrent of destruction had no time to make any move before letting out sharp screams, and their flesh melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the violent energy was completely released, a fan-shaped ravine thousands of meters long appeared in front of Chu Xiu. In this area, all the hungry ghosts were cleared out, leaving only pale skeletons buried in the dust.

With a casual slash, he annihilated at least tens of thousands of hungry ghosts!
This earth-shattering strike silenced the entire camp. All the soldiers stared in shock ahead, never imagining that anyone could possess such terrifying power. The power of this strike was far greater than that of eighteen Vajra Heavy Cannons combined!

"thump!"

A soldier knelt down, shouting, "Gods and Buddhas have descended! Gods and Buddhas have descended! Buddha has not abandoned us! We are saved!"

His face was filled with excitement, and he even shed tears. The soldiers around him also knelt down and worshipped the figure that was suspended in mid-air.

The golden light alone had initially raised some doubts among the soldiers, but this astonishing strike dispelled all their doubts.

Aside from gods, who else could possess such power?
Even the high-ranking hungry ghosts fell silent, and their usually haughty eyes revealed a rare look of fear and retreat.

The leader of the hungry ghosts, surrounded by a group of high-ranking hungry ghosts, showed a look of shock for the first time.

"Such powerful energy output! You don't look like a celestial being. Which sect are you an incarnation of? Why are you blocking our way?"

The leader of the hungry ghosts stepped forward slightly and spoke in human language.

This startled the soldiers and officers below, as it was the first time they had ever heard of a hungry ghost speaking human language.

Chu Xiu glanced at the guy opposite him. The aura emanating from this creature was extremely strong, definitely at the level of a top-tier King rank, completely different from other hungry ghosts. As long as its skill traits weren't particularly bad, it wouldn't be weaker than a seasoned King rank awakener like Li Zhan before he was blessed by the extraterrestrial demon.

This is already stronger than most civilization envoys, and even a four-person civilization envoy team might not be their match.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chu Xiu.

Without a reply, Chu Xiu raised his hand and the Hundred Soul Banner appeared in his hand!

He had a lot of information he wanted to get from the hungry ghost leader opposite him, but he had no interest in playing any tricks to probe or extract information.

What he needs to do is use absolute power to wipe everything out, and then slowly interrogate them!

As the soul banner fell, a chilling wind swept through the entire passage, and sharp wails rang in the ears of every soldier!

The soldiers below looked up, staring blankly at the sky. Under the bright searchlights, streaks of black shadow flashed across the horizon. There were so many of them that they gathered together like moving black clouds, covering the entire sky!
"Wow!"

Amidst the chilling wails of ghosts, the dark clouds swooped down into the horde of hungry ghosts like a giant, illusory predatory monster. The moment they made contact, a terrifying scene unfolded: the flesh and blood of the hungry ghosts seemed to melt and evaporate instantly under the intense heat, peeling away at a visible speed, leaving only white bones covered in marks!

Even those large hungry ghosts were devoured within seconds!
This horrifying scene stunned the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground.

"Is this what Buddha is like?" a new recruit murmured.

Before he could finish speaking, the old soldier next to him pressed his head down: "Shut up! Who said that only a Buddha has to be golden and shiny? The one who can save your life is the Buddha!"

The new recruit was startled by these words and dared not say anything more, instead worshipping even more devoutly.

Chu Xiu merely glanced at the crowd below before raising his eyes again to look at the two thousand superior hungry ghosts in the distance.

At this moment, notifications kept appearing in his eyes: [Killed 1000 Hungry Ghosts, Mission Contribution +0.1]

[Slay a large hungry ghost, mission contribution +0.3]

At the same time, the massive consumption of flesh and blood not only prevented his ghost army from suffering any losses, but also caused it to rapidly increase in strength at an astonishing rate!
"These endless abyssal monsters are truly a treasure trove for demonic cultivators."

The abyssal monsters devour the power of the abyss to grow stronger, while Chu Xiu devours them to become stronger. So, rounding up, isn't it the same as him fleecing the abyss?

More importantly, as the difficulty of the End increases, the drop rate of special treasures also increases significantly!

"I wonder how much my ghost army will be upgraded by so many hungry ghosts, and how many good things they will drop!"

A look of excitement flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.

Of course, the premise is that he must personally deal with the high-ranking ghouls who pose the greatest threat to the ghoul army, otherwise it will cause losses instead.

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu did not hesitate any longer. The True Demon Blade of Sin in his hand emitted a crisp sound, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash!
In the next instant, he appeared among the group of high-ranking hungry ghosts without any warning. As he swung the True Demon Blade of Sin in his hand, the hungry ghosts around him were cut in half at the waist before they could even react!
"Roar!"

The high-ranking hungry ghosts around him rushed towards Chu Xiu like madmen. However, he simply swung his long sword and drew an arc around him. Then, something strange happened. The hundreds of hungry ghosts that had rushed towards him seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move an inch!

Space blockade!

Chu Xiu swung his sword again, and countless slashes formed around him. With a series of "plop" sounds, the bodies of the hundreds of high-ranking hungry ghosts around him were torn into large chunks of flesh as if they had been precisely cut apart by a cutting machine. The severed intestines mixed with blood fell from the sky, like a small-scale rain of blood and flesh.

Hundreds of powerful creatures at the peak of the ferocious level were instantly killed by Chu Xiu, just like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

Both human soldiers and hungry ghosts were stunned as they watched the shredded entrails, bones, and flesh falling from the sky.

Chu Xiu simply moved forward calmly, with slashes like the Grim Reaper's scythe constantly appearing around him. The terrifying ability of spatial sealing prevented the hungry ghost from even escaping. It could only watch in fear as Chu Xiu approached, and then helplessly watch its body being shredded by the sharp slashes.

Chu Xiu was like a death god wandering around at will; wherever he went, all life was shattered.

[Defeat a high-ranking Hungry Ghost, quest contribution +1]

[Defeat a high-ranking Hungry Ghost, quest contribution +1]

"So strong!"

Just as Chu Xiu was frantically slaughtering, the leader of the hungry ghosts in the distance looked at Chu Xiu with an extremely solemn expression.

The energy output of Chu Xiu's first strike was already enough to shock it, and even it was unwilling to directly confront the destructive torrent that poured out.

But unexpectedly, what it thought was a powerful skill turned out to be just this guy's basic attack!

Each of Chu Xiu's subsequent strikes released energy no less than, or even stronger than, that devastating first strike!
The most terrifying thing is that he even has the ability to control space!
The combination of the two is enough to threaten, no, enough to kill it!

"Fortunately, this guy doesn't seem to be very bright, and he wasted most of his strength on those cannon fodder."

The leader of the hungry ghosts squinted, secretly rejoicing.

If Chu Xiu had charged directly at it, it would have had no choice but to flee in a sorry state. But unexpectedly, the other party was entangled with its offspring.

It could sense that the energy Chu Xiu used to power the long sword in his hand was being rapidly depleted, and now more than half of it had been used up. At most, after killing a few hundred more high-ranking hungry ghosts, it would be completely used up.

Therefore, instead of ordering his subordinates to scatter and avoid Chu Xiu's wide-range slashes, the leader of the hungry ghosts forced them to launch an attack in order to deplete Chu Xiu's energy.

Although each of the hungry ghosts was carefully cultivated by it, the death of so many at once was heartbreaking for the hungry ghost leader, but if it could kill a powerful enemy like Chu Xiu at the cost, it would be worth it.

"Once his energy is depleted, I will reveal my true form and seize the opportunity to kill him in one blow," the hungry ghost leader planned in his mind.

But just then, it suddenly seemed to discover something and was startled.

Behind Chu Xiu, a blood-red vine rapidly rose up.

"Pfft!"

Chu Xiu swung his sword forward, and tens of thousands of slashes appeared out of thin air, completely covering the airspace within a hundred meters in front of him. With a series of crisp sounds, dozens of high-ranking hungry ghosts were cut into pieces, and countless chunks of flesh and broken internal organs fell in the rain of blood.

With Chu Xiu's current strength, equivalent to a top-tier King-level Awakener, killing these ferocious creatures is truly no different from slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Of course, while the True Demon Blade of Judgment is powerful, it also consumes a great deal of energy. Even if he has cultivated the inheritance of the innate god and demon lineage to its current extreme, he still cannot maintain such a terrifying attack intensity for a long time.

It's unrealistic to kill two thousand high-ranking hungry ghosts in one go. With so many high-ranking ones, let alone Chu Xiu, even a powerful king-level like Qin Xiang, who is infinitely close to a [Heroic Spirit], would be worn down to death. The hungry ghost leader's judgment was correct.

only.
Bright red vines rose up from behind him; they were the Blood Vine that stretched to the sky!
This powerful item of [Mythical] quality has now taken firm root in the Giant's Road. Its roots extend in all directions, greedily absorbing the flesh and blood on the ground. Nourished by countless hungry ghosts, it is growing rapidly at an astonishing speed!
In just a few seconds, it had grown to a height of over ten meters, with bright red vines extending in all directions, like a giant stripped of its bones and internal organs, leaving only its blood vessels.

In the next instant, a massive amount of life energy surged out from the Blood Vine that reached the sky, forming a life domain that covered a very wide area. The ghost army, which had suffered considerable losses from fighting against a huge number of hungry ghosts, was restored to its best condition almost in the blink of an eye under this massive restorative power.

Meanwhile, the Golden Embryo Origin within Chu Xiu's body was continuously replenished, as if it had been connected to an energy source, with a massive amount of life energy instantly filling every corner of his body!
This is the terror of the [Myth] item!
Furthermore, the Blood Vine of Heaven, with its requirement for life force cultivation each time it is activated and its inability to move, has achieved effects even more powerful than ordinary [Mythical] items!

Nourished by the flesh and blood of so many hungry ghosts in this place, its effects have reached an astonishing level, even playing a decisive role in battles between kings!

The once composed leader of the hungry ghosts suddenly widened his eyes, but before he could react, Chu Xiu's figure had already transformed into a streak of light and was rapidly approaching it. At the same time, a barrage of slashes far more intense than ever before surged across the entire airspace!
"Puff puff!!!"

Any high-ranking hungry ghosts in Chu Xiu's path were shredded in the blink of an eye!

But this was far from over. The power of the Heavenly Blood Vine was injected into Chu Xiu's body from a distance, replenishing the depleted Golden Embryo Essence. The eerie green light of the True Demon Blade of Judgment, symbolizing death, shone again. However, this time, the destructive energy condensed into a single slash. Although there was only one slash, it was unprecedentedly solid, exuding an astonishing aura, with a clear target!

The leader of the hungry ghosts was horrified and turned to run away, but found that all the space around him was sealed off, and his speed was reduced by more than ten times. He had only rushed out a few meters when Chu Xiu's blade arrived!
"laugh!"

Amidst the terrified expression of the hungry ghost leader, its body was cleanly and decisively split in two!
