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

Chapter 233 The price paid

According to the rules, the location where a hunter revives after committing suicide is random.

But clearly, Chu Xiu was very unlucky; the place where Chi Lei was reborn was near the main city!

"This is just adding insult to injury," Chu Xiu said, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Liang Zhan and the others, on the other hand, showed expressions of despair.

Even though they didn't know the killing rules of the [Infinite Hunters], they could clearly feel the incredibly powerful aura and undisguised hostility emanating from Chi Lei!
This powerful force was far beyond their reach; in fact, judging from its aura alone, it was even stronger than Chu Xiu's!
Intercepting Tianlong was already nearly impossible, let alone facing such a formidable enemy.
Liang Zhan and the others were in utter despair.

No.

Liang Zhan suddenly shuddered.

It's not entirely hopeless.

The only chance of survival now lies in the fact that this suddenly appearing powerful enemy is not allied with the Celestials.
However, the glimmer of hope that had finally risen in his eyes was quickly extinguished.

At the very beginning, the Celestials had solemn expressions and were even prepared for battle.

But he was not a reckless person, and soon he began to transmit his voice by moving his lips.

Meanwhile, Chi Lei on the other side also returned. The two completely cleared up the misunderstanding in less than three seconds, and their faces showed an even more ferocious smile than before.

"I never expected I would have such a powerful ally." Chi Lei licked his lips excitedly, looking at Chu Xiu as if he were a dead man.

"I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve now?"

"But to be honest, you are indeed the strongest genius I have ever seen, but you overestimated yourself and wanted to pursue a perfect clear, so failure was your inevitable result."

"Did you know that even the top geniuses of those top civilizations can only pass the final stage with the minimum guaranteed requirements?"

With each sentence Chi Lei spoke, he took a step forward, and his aura rose a level accordingly. After he finished speaking, he was already standing in front of Chu Xiu! His power had also reached its peak!
The fluctuations formed by the convergence of pure energy made it difficult for Liang Zhan and the others to even breathe!

Eight times stronger! Plus unlimited life regeneration! And terrifying resistance accumulated through countless battles and deaths!
The power of the abyss's rules strengthened this alien civilization's envoy to a level far exceeding that of a king, approaching that of a heroic spirit!

The Celestial Being finally dropped his last pretense and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, you, you! You promised me the conditions, and you've already successfully passed the test. It's a pity that people are always greedy."

"Now, you will pay the price for your desires!"

With the celestial being's hearty laughter, the dragon's restraints were completely broken, and a dazzling spiritual light emanated from its body. Its massive form began to move and accelerate! It was about to lead everyone deeper into the Lost Paradise!
At this moment, in order to fully activate the Heavenly Dragon, the brainwashing of the people was also lifted, and the words of the celestial being just now fell into their ears. At this moment, even the most foolish people realized what had happened and burst into tears in fear and despair.

For a moment, the sacred radiance emanating from Tianlong contrasted sharply with the desperate cries of the women and children on his back.

Liang Zhan's face was filled with despair, and the heavens and earth trembled. He stood in front of the Heavenly Dragon, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He couldn't help but look at Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu had freed him from the ignorance of religion, but at this moment, he desperately hoped that Chu Xiu was really the Buddha who would save the world!

Although he knew that this was nothing more than a self-deceiving fantasy born of his despair.

However, at this moment, Liang Zhan was slightly taken aback.

Because he noticed that Chu Xiu's face showed no fear or worry, but rather a relieved smile, as if he had finally made a decision.

"I was still debating whether or not I should pay such a high price."

"Thank you for making the decision for me."

As Chu Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly waved the Thousand Soul Banner, and in the next instant, a massive number of ghosts surged out like a raging tide!

"this!"

The Celestial's gaze sharpened. Although he had already witnessed the Ghost Legion's methods and knew that it would be impossible for them to break through the Heavenly Dragon's defenses in a short time, Chu Xiu's words still made him uneasy. He further poured his magical power into the Heavenly Dragon's body and accelerated his departure.

Chi Lei also took a step forward, creating a sharp sonic boom on the spot, and rushed towards Chu Xiu like a cannonball!

Although he mocked Chu Xiu verbally, he harbored no contempt for him. He immediately unleashed his strongest divine power, aiming to kill Chu Xiu in the first instance!
Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, and the colonel rushed out of the spirit flesh storage pouch. At the same time, the heavily injured Blood Demon avatar also possessed his body and stood in front of Chi Lei!

Ironclad Corpse excels at defense! So, although the Colonel didn't activate the highest level of overload like he did when fighting Asura, he still managed to barely block Crimson Lightning's attack.

Almost simultaneously, the surging ghosts also met the soaring celestial dragon head-on!
"Hmph, you couldn't even break through my defenses before when I just stood still and let you hit me, so what tricks do you have now?"

The celestial being gave a low shout, urging the celestial dragon to charge head-on!

However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically!

A deafening explosion rang out, and the ghost that had initially collided with the Heavenly Dragon exploded in an instant! Its entire energy was concentrated in a single moment, unleashing an astonishing energy surge!

"This is?!"

Before the celestial beings could react, a massive number of ghosts began crashing into the Heavenly Dragon. Instantly, explosions no less powerful than bombs erupted one after another on the Heavenly Dragon's body. In less than a second, thousands of ghosts self-destructed! The enormous shockwave shook the entire Lost Paradise!
The golden light on Tianlong's body was no longer as stable as before, and began to flicker, as if it could not withstand the continuous attacks!
This instantly turned the composure on the Celestial's face into terror!
When Chu Xiu first entered the abyss, he used self-destruction to kill a wounded warrior-level corpse demon at the cost of several Yin ghosts.

Although self-destruction is undoubtedly a huge loss in the long run, it can indeed unleash tremendous power in a short period of time!

At this moment, Chu Xiu seemed to have made up his mind. Without the slightest hesitation, he made a series of hand seals.

[Command - Charge]! [Divine Power - Bloodlust]!
His face turned pale, and the little magic power and essence he had left in his body were almost completely exhausted!

Meanwhile, with the blessing of these two supernatural powers, the overall strength of the ghost army has reached a new level!

Chu Xiu's dark eyes completely shed their usual pretense, filled with ruthlessness and ferocity. He formed hand seals again and uttered a low growl:
"burst!"

Under his command, all the ghosts in the entire ghost army charged towards the Heavenly Dragon like a swarm of bees guarding the Queen, and then offered their lives without the slightest hesitation!

Not just low-level ghosts, but also fierce ghosts, vengeful ghosts, and even ghost generals! They all started self-destructing!
A look of madness appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes as he repeatedly shouted, "Explode! Explode! Explode!"

Having made up his mind, he no longer cared about the losses. Now all his attention was focused on one goal: to stop this behemoth at all costs!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Even a giant dragon was swallowed up by the dazzling flames!

One thousand ghosts, two thousand ghosts, ten thousand ghosts! Thirty thousand ghosts!!!

In less than five seconds, Chu Xiu self-destructed a total of 30,000 ghosts! This included over a thousand fierce ghosts and seven ghost generals!
The lower-level ghosts simply self-destructed! The celestial beings' expressions had completely changed from initial shock and anger to terror, while the residents on the back of the celestial dragon stared blankly at the ghosts that charged straight at the celestial dragon and then decisively self-destructed without any fear of death.

Before this, they had doubted and despised the ghosts because of their ugly appearance. The scene before them filled them with shame, but also rekindled their hope.

At this moment, those hideous and ugly ghosts were a thousand times, ten thousand times more sacred in the hearts of the people than those majestic and solemn Buddha statues!
"Boom!!!"

Even Tianlong finally succumbed to Chu Xiu's reckless disregard for its own resources. Its spiritual light was breached, and with the self-destruction of three more ghost generals leading hundreds of fierce ghosts, it could no longer hold on and fell from the sky after letting out a wailing cry!

This scene left Chi Lei, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

How can this be done?

Immediately, fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Chu Xiu. Although he would not die, Chu Xiu's powerful strength, which seemed to have endless trump cards, still made him feel apprehensive.

However, this fear was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

Although Chu Xiu stopped Tianlong, this was not the end of the story; there was still him to consider!
After being enhanced eightfold, the Blood Sea Domain could no longer contain him! Not to mention that the Blood Demon Avatar was already severely injured!
Chi Lei didn't believe that the other side could leave with 20,000 people despite his obstruction!

However, at that moment, he noticed that Chu Xiu was looking at him expressionlessly, with a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

The disgust wasn't because his plan was going to fail because of him, but because he had made Chu Xiu pay an extra price for his original plan!

Chi Lei's battle instincts, honed through countless trials, sent alarm bells ringing in his mind! But it was too late!
Suddenly, a dazzling red light emanated from the colonel's chest, who had been on the defensive!

[Fourth gear overload]!
The power that was enough to suppress Asura erupted like a volcanic eruption in an instant. The colonel rushed forward and smashed the arm that Red Lightning was blocking with a single punch!

The excruciating pain caused a ferocious look to appear on Chi Lei's face, but he didn't care at all, because he had already discovered in the previous battle that without the Blood Demon Avatar to provide energy, this state would overload in at most two seconds!
Chu Xiu's trump card is definitely not here!
But what territory does he still have?
The next instant, Chi Lei understood. The red light on the colonel's chest did not weaken after the overload; instead, it became more and more intense! The red light was like some kind of energy that had been suppressed to the extreme, now preparing to completely break free and burst forth!

"you!"

Chi Lei finally realized what Chu Xiu was planning to do, but it was too late!
The colonel, in fourth gear overload, shattered his ribs with another punch. The blood demon avatar possessing his back seized the opportunity to burst out, using its last bit of strength to create a miniature sea of ​​blood!
In the next instant, the red light completely engulfed everything!
"boom!!!"

The energy fluctuations, far exceeding those of any ghost's self-destruction, exploded in mid-air. Thick smoke and flames engulfed everything in less than 0.1 seconds. The extreme brightness blinded people ten kilometers away. The subsequent shockwave and deafening roar unleashed a devastating storm in this paradise!

"Boom!"

The rolling storm swallowed everything.

Chu Xiu stood still, letting the sand and stones hit him, only raising his hand to protect the residents on the back of the dragon.

In order to kill Chi Lei, he had no choice but to have the newly trained colonel also activate his self-destruction.

The self-destruction of a King-level corpse refiner would naturally not have such great power, but the Colonel had fused with a [Miniature Nuclear Furnace].

Despite the word "miniature" in its name, this is a powerful energy source personally crafted by the Titan machine, and the energy it stores is by no means "miniature."

Even if the colonel failed to fully integrate and unleash its power, the destructive force of the self-destruction would still be no less than that of a 100,000-ton nuclear bomb! If Chu Xiu hadn't planned ahead and moved the battleground far from the city, none of those residents would have survived!

At this distance, let alone Crimson Lightning, even a Heroic Spirit would be in danger of perishing!
When the smoke cleared, only one soul remained, not yet completely dissipated due to the [Kill Mode].

Chi Lei's spirit stood still, looking at Chu Xiu in the distance.

After he was killed, the ferocity and anger on his face disappeared.

He was completely convinced.

"Are you really from a civilization with a depth of less than a thousand?"

Chi Lei shook his head with a wry smile: "The Final Difficulty, and I even drew the [Infinite Hunter] mode, which is ranked among the top three in difficulty. How could I possibly manage to force my way through and get a perfect clear under these circumstances?"

"Let alone the holy sons and goddesses of our clan, even the top inheritors of those top civilizations probably couldn't do it!"

"Even those ruthless figures who have gone down in history only managed to pass the Trial of the End with the help of [Mythical] equipment."

“This is so”

Chi Lei was speechless.

Their civilization respects the strong.

After realizing that he was powerless to stop Chu Xiu, he felt only deep respect and shock.

He never imagined that such a terrifying genius could exist in this world.

However, Chu Xiu didn't even bother to glance at his praise and completely ignored it.

He strolled to the vicinity of Tianlong.

"Wait! Don't kill me, I still have..."

"laugh!"

The Yaksha's Halberd pierced the Heavenly Dragon's body. As his physical body was destroyed, the Heavenly Man, whose magical power was exhausted, could no longer maintain the decay of his soul. He turned into ashes at a visible speed and dissipated into the world.

Without the control and maintenance of the Celestial Being, the golden light in the eyes of the Heavenly Dragon, which had endured a large number of attacks, completely dimmed.
