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

Chapter 225 Trump Card
"what?"

Chu Xiu's words left Rasputin completely dumbfounded.

Did they take the initiative and kill Asura?
He certainly knew that this would solve the problem once and for all, but the key point was—

What can we use to kill?

Even if Chu Xiu were to recover to his full strength, he could at most join forces with him to deal with one Asura, and that would be assuming the opponent had no other trump cards.

If you add Garuda to the mix, then there's absolutely no chance of winning; the only option left is to rely on the Mythical item, the Blood Vine of Heaven, to fight back.

Not to mention, there's a Gandharva on the other side who hasn't shown up yet, and a foreign civilization envoy who's eyeing us covetously!
In this situation, what can be used to kill?

Has his master lost his mind? Or is he hiding some trump card that he doesn't yet know about? But he has been with Chu Xiu for so long, practically watching Chu Xiu grow up, so what trump card could he not know about?
Could it be that I was given this opportunity after being stuffed into the spirit-body storage pouch?

Rasputin was completely baffled.

Chu Xiu naturally had no time to explain this to him.

A blood demon like Rasputin could not possibly fathom the mysteries of demonic cultivation techniques.

Demonic cultivators have always relied on fighting to sustain themselves, growing stronger with each battle.

The million hungry ghosts slaughtered before were the best food for Chu Xiu's growth!
With a thought, the boundless life energy within the Heavenly Blood Vine began to surge into the Spiritual Flesh Storage Pouch, and under the nourishment of this life energy, powerful creatures began to be born.

Seven hours later.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Chu Xiu, along with his Blood Demon avatar, once again ventured deep into the Lost Paradise.

At this moment, the magical power and the essence of the golden embryo within his body were far from reaching their optimal state.

However, Chu Xiu did not show much fear on his face; instead, he displayed an unwavering determination.

He sat atop the flying corpse, spreading his divine sense as he moved along the Lost Paradise, sensing the location of Asura.

Chu Xiu was initially a little worried. The terrain in Paradise Lost was intricate and complex, with hundreds of passages. If Asura intended to hide, it would be very difficult for him to find her.

However, Ashura was clearly confident in his own strength. Almost as soon as Chu Xiu released his aura, a tall figure blocked his way.

"Hello, Civilization Envoy." Ashura grinned, giving Chu Xiu a slightly mocking smile.

The moment Chu Xiu heard this word, he realized that the other party had joined forces with the envoy of the alien civilization.

With the True Demon Blade of Judgment appearing in his hand, Chu Xiu said calmly, "Asura, I think we can talk. There is no fundamental conflict between us."

"Oh?" Ashura's mockery deepened upon hearing this. "That's easy for you to say. If the life energy of that strange tree hadn't dissipated, would you still be negotiating with us lowly 'abyss natives'?"

Faced with Asura's mockery, Chu Xiu remained unmoved: "I think that alien civilization envoy has already told you my identity and purpose, which is good and saves me from wasting time. However, since that's the case, you should also know that my purpose is only to escort the residents of this place away. There is absolutely no need for us to have any conflict."

"Pfft, hahahahahahaha."

However, Ashura couldn't help but burst into laughter in the face of Chu Xiu's persuasion.

"By saying that, do you think I'm a fool, or are you the fool?"

"Do you think I don't know that you civilized people can obtain a lot of treasures and benefits by killing us?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already absorbed the power of Yasha and the other two, haven't you?"

As Asura finished speaking, Chu Xiu sighed softly, knowing that peace talks were no longer possible.

The trust between the two sides was already extremely fragile, and with the interference of a foreign civilization, reconciliation became even more impossible.

Besides
Chu Xiu looked up and saw that this Asura was absolutely confident in his strength. Even if Chu Xiu didn't want to kill him, he would still want to kill Chu Xiu and take all the treasures on him!
"In that case."

Chu Xiu held the True Demon Blade of Judgment horizontally in front of him, and a Shura longsword also appeared in Asura's hand.

Then there's no other way but to fight!

Without any unnecessary words, Asura burst forth, and at the same time, the Blood Demon Avatar behind Chu Xiu also rushed out immediately!

"boom!"

The two collided, causing a violent explosion in the center of the passage. The shockwave from the impact condensed into wind pressure, sweeping outwards and even shattering nearby boulders!
After the collision, Asura took half a step back, while the Blood Demon incarnation retreated fifty meters away.

Ashura revealed a cruel smile: "You were no match for me before, and you still aren't now!"

After saying that, he charged at the Blood Demon Avatar again. The Blood Demon Avatar used all its skills, unleashing dozens of techniques in turn, but it was still forced to retreat. In just a few breaths, half of its flesh and blood had been shattered.

At this moment, Ashura suddenly forced back the Blood Demon avatar with a punch, then spun around in mid-air and rushed towards Chu Xiu's main body!
A bloodthirsty cruelty flashed in his eyes; this was his true plan! Although he held the upper hand in the battle against the Blood Demon's avatar, the Blood Demon's stamina was simply too strong. If they fought to the death, the final result would still likely be his victory, but he would probably have to pay a considerable price and it would take a long time.

He had suspected before that the Blood Demon Avatar was actually just a summoned entity, and that the true controller was Chu Xiu! Because although the Blood Demon Avatar had its own consciousness, it seemed to be a little too "obedient" to Chu Xiu.

The introduction by the envoy from the alien civilization confirmed Ashura's guess.

So, although he seemed excited at the time, he was actually looking for an opportunity to get close to Chu Xiu. His sudden attack was aimed at killing Chu Xiu in one blow!

A crimson light emanated from the Asura Blade, and a blade filled with destructive energy formed in the air, slashing down directly at Chu Xiu!

However, Chu Xiu remained calm and composed in the face of this immense destructive energy, showing no fear whatsoever.

He swung the True Demon Blade of Judgment, its blade, also composed of destructive energy, upwards to meet the attack! "Clang!!!"

The two blades collided, unleashing a massive energy surge, as if hundreds of bombs had detonated simultaneously!

However, the two were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before Chu Xiu's sword light was completely destroyed!
"Too weak!!!"

Asura laughed loudly, wielding a long sword as he charged into the sky!

However, just as Chu Xiu was about to be split in two by the sharp blade light, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind him and punched the blade light!
The next moment, something unbelievable happened to Ashura: the blade light condensed from the Ashura longsword was actually shattered by a single punch!
"boom!"

A violent shockwave swept outwards, and Ashura somersaulted twice in mid-air before coming to a stop, looking solemnly at the suddenly appearing figure.

Although Asura is not actually good at ranged attacks, and just now in order to catch her off guard, she suddenly changed direction and did not have enough time to gather the blade light, and the power of her blade was weakened by half by Chu Xiu's blade.

Even so, it should still possess the power to kill top-tier king-level creatures!
Ashura dares to guarantee that even a Yaksha with a physical constitution of 8,000 would not be able to withstand this attack with his bare body!
The figure that had blocked the blade's edge slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

This was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a square face, expressionless, and stiff, like a half-robot.

His face was exactly the same as the colonel who had chased Chu Xiu in the Corpse Demon World! Only his figure seemed to be taller, and the energy concentration in his body was also greater! Moreover, his skin faintly emitted a metallic luster!
That's right, this is the trump card that Chu Xiu prepared for Asura!

Long ago, Chu Xiu had planned to turn the colonel into an iron-clad corpse.

The colonel has an extremely high physique and has undergone special refining treatment, sacrificing agility in exchange for greater defense and strength.

These are all perfect embryos for refining Iron-Clad Corpses!
However, to refine an Iron-Clad Corpse, a massive amount of flesh and blood energy is required—an astronomical figure that would have been impossible in the past cultivation world without slaughtering several mortal nations.

Even in the abyss, Chu Xiu had never been able to gather so much flesh and blood energy. Unless he regressed one rank and used the corpse of a King-rank corpse to refine a Corpse of the General rank, just like he had previously used the corpse of a King-rank Blood Demon's follower to refine a Poison Claw Corpse, it would be absolutely impossible for him to succeed.

However, that would be too wasteful, which is why he has been hesitant to start refining it.

But now, these millions of hungry ghosts, tens of thousands of large hungry ghosts, and two thousand high-ranking hungry ghosts are providing ample energy!
With this supply, Chu Xiu's first King-level refined corpse was born. In addition to possessing all the supernatural abilities and skills of the Iron-Clad Corpse, it also naturally possessed an extremely high Nine Thousand Physique!

But that's far from the end; Chu Xiu also possesses a King-level item!
Corrosion-induced miniature nuclear-powered furnace!
This is a dedicated power source created by "Titan Machines" for their "Titan" series of war machines. It provides immense power and possesses the special ability of "Overload".

After being corrupted, it can be equipped on other creatures. The more [Corruption] and [Mechanical] traits it has, the more powerful it can be!
The colonel's corpse, which was refined into an iron-clad corpse, was undoubtedly the best choice!

Combined with the [Fused Blood Plasma Extract], the Colonel almost perfectly fused with this legendary item, causing his physique to soar to an incredibly terrifying 14,000 points! He also gained superhuman strength and defense!
That's why he was able to shatter Asura's blade with a single punch!
"However, this is not enough!"

As soon as Chu Xiu had a thought, the Blood Demon avatar that had been knocked away earlier transformed into a streak of blood light and rushed over, possessing the colonel's body!

Skills: [Berserk Blood], [Nerve Burst], [Muscle Overload]! Advanced Skill: [Flesh Symbiosis]! Advanced Skill: [Blood Coagulation Heavy Armor]!
Instantly, a massive amount of buffs and vitality surged into the colonel's body. After receiving a continuous supply of life energy, the colonel decisively activated the core skill of the [Miniature Nuclear Furnace]!
【overload!】

First gear! Second gear! Third gear!
Four gears!!!

With the Blood Demon Avatar's almost limitless life force, the Colonel was directly overloaded to the limit in fourth gear!

[Max Strength +28000, Defense +2085, Energy Recovery Speed ​​+350/s]!
"Boom!!!"

The colonel's body turned crimson in an instant, emitting a terrifying roar. He pushed off with both legs, and the spot where he stood exploded as if it had been bombed by a hundred-ton bomb, creating a huge crater more than ten meters wide! The colonel's figure then shot upwards at high speed!
Ashura's pupils constricted sharply, and he roared as he threw a punch. However, this time, his proud fist did not break through the enemy in front of him. Instead, it was shattered by the punch!
The excruciating pain from his hand bones made Ashura's face turn pale with horror. He quickly used the recoil to adjust his body, and at the same time, he swung the Ashura longsword with all his might in his other hand!

However, the colonel simply threw another punch without any fancy moves! His fist was cut open by the sharp blade, and blood gushed out like a high-pressure water gun, but at the same time, a force of up to 50,000 points was also unleashed at full power!

"boom!"

The blade of the Asura longsword was shattered, and with its remaining force, it struck Asura's chest!

"boom!"

Ashura was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground. When he got up, there was a huge dent in his chest, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood!

He looked up, a look of horror on his face!
The threat of death loomed over Ashura's heart. The colonel's terrifying power shattered his pride. At this moment, he had no desire to fight anymore, and roared hoarsely, "Garuda! Crimson Thunder! Gandharva!!!"

As the words fell, golden lightning flashed in the passage, and Garuda's enormous body, moving at more than ten times the speed of sound, streaked through the passage, heading straight for Chu Xiu!
Initially, Ashura was sent to lead the charge simply because they were afraid Chu Xiu would escape. However, after Ashura's sneak attack failed and he was instead chased and beaten by Chu Xiu, Garuda made the best decision without Ashura having to say anything.

That is to launch a direct attack on Chu Xiu!
Although the unexpected colonel displayed power that shocked everyone, it did not affect everyone's plans!
Without the Blood Demon Incarnation and the Colonel's protection, Chu Xiu could be easily killed by Garuda and the other two!

However, as the golden-winged roc rapidly approached, Chu Xiu revealed a smile that suggested he had been prepared.

Most of the flesh and blood of those million hungry ghosts were used to create the Colonel, and Chu Xiu would naturally not waste their souls!

With a flick of his wrist, the Hundred Soul Banner appeared in his hand, and in the next instant, a large number of ghosts surged out!

However, unlike before, these ghosts seem to have undergone some fundamental changes. Even the weakest of the ghosts now have a dark golden luster, just like the special halo of the leader creature.

At the very front of all the ghosts stood a tall figure, emanating an extremely powerful force that far surpassed that of all the ghosts! Even the Ghost Generals were far inferior!

His face even bore a slight resemblance to that of the previously deceased Kinra!

Song God Jinluona, a deity skilled in mental attacks, possesses an incredibly powerful soul comparable to a top-tier magic-based King-level Awakener. Under Chu Xiu's almost unlimited spiritual nourishment and the rapid refinement by his [Perfect Refinement] talent, he became a Ghost General in just two hours and continues to advance!
Finally, he reached a new realm that Chu Xiu had always wanted to refine, but had been unable to reach due to a lack of souls with potential.

High-ranking Ghost General!

With the arrival of a high-ranking ghost general, the power of all the ghosts in the Hundred Soul Banner came together, causing this demonic artifact to undergo a transformation!

What Chu Xiu now holds is an even more powerful magical artifact.

Thousand Soul Banner!
