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

Chapter 262 Demonic Qi Condensing into Weapons
[Purgatory Demon Corpse (Supreme Demon Lord): A powerful corpse that feeds on the flames of purgatory. It is a perfectly crafted corpse at the Foundation Establishment stage, meticulously constructed by the elders of the Demonic Sect, possessing defense, speed, strength, and magical abilities.]

[Note: The Hellfire Corpse is extremely cruel. Half of those who created it perished in its backlash. However, due to its immense power, it is still included in the inheritance. Those who control it must be constantly vigilant and deepen their enslavement mark daily to avoid being devoured.]

[Demonic Energy Condensation Weapon (Innate God/Demon): Further enhances the condensation of demonic energy, forming tangible weapons or armor, greatly increasing attack and defense capabilities.]

[Note: After mastering this technique, the difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Avatar will be greatly reduced.]

"As expected of the ultimate inheritance of the general level." Chu Xiu nodded to himself.

Both of these inheritances were actually within Chu Xiu's expectations. The Supreme Demon Lord's lineage is currently divided into two paths: Soul Control and Corpse Refining. The previous ones were all about Soul Control, and now it's time for Corpse Refining.

This infernal corpse is so unstable, yet it has already been taken in by the elders of the Demonic Sect, so it must be incredibly powerful.

Chu Xiu examined the materials and found that there were three core elements for refining the Hellfire Corpse: a sufficiently strong physical body, Hellfire, and a large amount of life energy.

“The bodies of the gods are all strong enough, and similar materials for the Hellfire can be bought at auctions. The only troublesome thing is life energy.”

"Does this mean we have to explore another world?"

The world of the Hundred Ghosts Furnace is full of ghosts, and life energy is extremely scarce, which has caused Chu Xiu's corpse refining cultivation to have made no progress.

After thinking for a while, he decided to just let things take their course. The ghost army was already powerful enough, and adding another corpse would only be icing on the cake and wouldn't bring about a qualitative change.

In reality, what he urgently needs now is not combat power, but to create a King-level flying corpse to enhance his mobility.

As for the other inheritance, it can immediately enhance Chu Xiu's combat power.

Although the power of demonic energy in its physical form is strong, he had previously discovered that the transformed demonic energy is extremely fragile.

It's okay to bully weaker opponents, but when facing enemies of the same level, whether it's a transformed martial god or a weapon, it's easy to be shattered. The only option is to harass and corrode the enemy with uncondensed demonic energy.

This works well against ghosts, but it's troublesome against enemies with physical forms, such as Asuras or Heavenly Dragons. They can stand still and let Chu Xiu corrode them without causing much damage.

In this blessed land, most of the ghosts have condensed their bodies with extreme yin energy, so the power of their demonic transformations has been greatly reduced.

This lineage now perfectly fills that gap!
"According to the records in the inheritance, a demonic weapon condensed to its ultimate form can cut through Taoist flying swords, Buddhist staffs, and even destroy spiritual artifacts!"

"The only drawback is that, as a prerequisite for cultivating the Heavenly Demon Avatar, it is extremely difficult!"

The demonic energy transforming into soldiers has seven distinct realms! Furthermore, according to ancient texts, reaching the fourth level before reaching the Golden Core stage is already considered the mark of a genius among geniuses.

Most cultivators only continue to practice this technique after they have achieved the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul stage and need to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Incarnation.

Even cultivators at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul levels often need a hundred years to perfect this technique!

Chu Xiu considered himself to be of mediocre talent. If he were placed in the past world of demonic cultivation, he probably wouldn't even have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and would have become cannon fodder in the brutal competition for outer disciples. If he were to cultivate slowly, it would take him more than a hundred years, or even a thousand years, to reach perfection!

We still need to rely on causal points!
However, given the extreme difficulty of this technique, Chu Xiu estimated that the energy expenditure required to cultivate it would be even more terrifying than that of the Golden Embryo Forging God technique!
"After unlocking all the inheritances, I still have 600,000 causal points left."

"I wonder how far this technique can be cultivated with so many causal points."

Without further thought, Chu Xiu raised his hand and flipped it over, and a large number of causal points appeared in his hand.

add a bit!

A power that transcends time and space and cause and effect emerged, and Chu Xiu underwent astonishing changes from his spirit to his body. It was as if he had spent ten or a hundred years in just a few minutes!

But his body showed no signs of aging; only that powerful force appeared out of nowhere!

[Consuming 11689 Karma Points, the first level of Demonic Qi Condensation has been successfully completed!]

[Consuming 22562 Karma Points, the second level of Demonic Qi Condensation has been successfully cultivated!]

[49142 Causal Points consumed.]

[Consuming 258456 Karma Points, Demonic Qi Condensation Technique has reached the sixth level!]

After consuming a full 570,000 karma points, Chu Xiu cultivated the Demonic Qi Condensation Ice to the sixth level!
His eyes shone brightly, and he felt that his understanding and control of demonic energy had risen to a whole new level. With a wave of his hand, a huge shield appeared in front of him.

Chu Xiu could clearly sense that the shield's sturdiness was even stronger than the legendary Great Sun Guardian Shield of the General rank! It was only slightly inferior to the Xuan Sha Glazed Armor!
"And I can conjure three such shields in the blink of an eye!"

Chu Xiu made another move, and the shield shattered instantly, transforming into five flying swords that hovered around Chu Xiu.

"[Armor Penetration], [Erosion], [Explosion], [Fission], [Corrosion]."

"I can add different traits to my demonized weapons whenever I want!"

"This is the realm of the ever-changing demonic energy!"

Although these five flying swords are all shrouded in demonic energy, they have completely different effects!
This will elevate Chu Xiu's combat decision-making capabilities to a whole new level!

Even disregarding these additional features, the basic attributes of these five flying swords are astonishing enough, and are by no means weaker than ordinary legendary generals!

And this was merely a demonic weapon that Chu Xiu conjured with a simple wave of his hand!
If Chu Xiu were to mobilize the Golden Embryo Origin to enhance his abilities and unleash his full power, he could instantly conjure dozens of flying swords to fight against his enemies!
"That's really too strong."

"No wonder those geniuses recorded in the inheritance, who had only cultivated to the fourth level, could use their condensed demonic weapons to directly confront the spiritual artifacts of righteous cultivators!"

"No wonder the lineage of innate gods and demons can withstand magical treasures on their own!"

"And this is only the sixth level. It's unimaginable what incredible supernatural powers one will possess when one cultivates to the perfect seventh level."

Even Chu Xiu couldn't help but marvel.

In fact, since the establishment of the Demonic Sect, no one has ever cultivated this supernatural power to the sixth level during the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone perfected it.

Chu Xiu's 570,000 karma points are no less than giving him an extra thousand years of cultivation time out of thin air!

"I am now capable of confronting ordinary heroic spirits head-on!" Chu Xiu exclaimed with unprecedented confidence.

Of course, his confidence was not blind. He still had many shortcomings, such as his lack of stamina. He could only hold out against Heroic Spirits for a short time. Once the battle went on for a long time, he would definitely be the first to give up.

Secondly, his movement speed is too slow. If the heroic spirit can't win and wants to escape, he has no way to stop it unless he activates the illusory god mode and uses a mental attack to destroy it at the cost of his own life.

However, heroic spirits are inherently incredibly powerful, and at this stage, they all possess methods to counter mental attacks, so the outcome will most likely be a mutually destructive battle.

Unless you encounter a Heroic Spirit who fights purely with physical strength and doesn't value mental strength, it's possible to overwhelm them in one go.

"To truly be fearless against heroic spirits, one must probably cultivate demonic energy to the seventh level."

"But this last layer, I'm afraid, will require at least 500,000 causal points to take down."

"But causal points aren't cheap, so I'll have to grind monsters a lot from now on."

"Hmm, strengthening the ghost army or refining magical artifacts are also effective ways to fight against heroic spirits." As he thought about it, Chu Xiu suddenly laughed at himself.

What general would think of fighting against heroic spirits?

Even the top-tier kings wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing!

Using the corpse of the Heavenly Dragon as a trump card to escape from the Heroic Spirits is enough; thinking of killing the Heroic Spirits is a bit too ambitious.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu stopped thinking about it, unfastened the iron-clad corpse, and walked out.

Jiang Miaoyin stood faithfully at the exit like a statue.

Hearing the voice, she turned around: "Senior, is it all done?"

“Okay,” Chu Xiu nodded, “Let’s go, to the inner floor.”

"Great!"

In the days that followed, the two officially began their foray into the inner region.

It must be said that with the increase in the concentration of Yin energy, the quality of both ghosts and rare treasures has improved significantly.

However, the two did not dare to explore as openly as they had in the outer region. Even though Chu Xiu's strength had greatly increased, he did not want to run into the giant ghost he had seen before. Besides, who could guarantee that there was only one such powerful ghost?

Therefore, the two were very cautious in their exploration. In addition, Chu Xiu's divine sense and Jiang Miaoyin's instantaneous skill were further suppressed, so the exploration was not fast.

Even so, on the first day, they killed three general-level ghosts and obtained several rare materials.

It's worth mentioning that because the Yin energy in the inner area was too dense, the killer's spirit puppet couldn't withstand it and finally got rid of this piece of chewing gum.

Seven days later, Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin concealed themselves and carefully observed a puddle in the distance.

It was called a puddle, but it was only two or three square meters in size, like a pool of water that had accumulated in a low corner of a wall after rain.

However, there is no water here, and ghosts do not need water. What looks like water is actually condensed and liquefied yin energy.

"My God, it's extremely Yin water! I saw it at an auction last year, a small bottle sold for 200 million, and there's such a huge puddle of it here!"

"Senior, we're rich!" Jiang Miaoyin excitedly shook Chu Xiu's arm.

"What's so great about making a fortune?" Chu Xiu remained calm. "At most, we'll sell for a few hundred billion. Even considering our previous profits, we haven't even made back the ticket price."

"Hehe, I got my anchor point from a clueless fool for only 5 billion," Jiang Miaoyin chuckled.

Chu Xiu: "."

Suddenly I felt so bad.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; the intelligence networks of the four major families are terrifying. They can get news of any world worth exploring immediately.

Even in their world of corpse demons, several collateral descendants of the four major families have entered.

This is the advantage of information asymmetry.

Without dwelling on it any longer, Chu Xiu said, "Use your spirit spell to investigate. Any rare treasure is always guarded by a ferocious beast. There isn't a single ghost near that puddle. I feel something's wrong."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Miaoyin nodded, and summoned the four Buddha statues that Chu Xiu had seen before.

She made a hand seal, and the Buddha statue that had been covering its ears first released its hands and listened for a while. Then, the Buddha statue that had been covering its eyes and nose was covered in turn.

After a while, Jiang Miaoyin said, "We couldn't find anything with our eyes or noses. The yin energy here is too dense, which greatly hinders their investigation. However, we did hear some noises, which are most likely made by ghosts. Senior, what you said should be correct, but we can't pinpoint the exact location."

It must be said that Jiang Miaoyin's reconnaissance spell is indeed unique. Just now, Chu Xiu also used his divine sense, but it was suppressed by the yin energy and he gained nothing. However, she used her sight, smell and hearing to investigate at the same time. Although two of them failed, she still managed to detect something unusual.

Chu Xiu recalled that the murderer's hiding place had been discovered by him, which showed that his reconnaissance accuracy was also very high. Ordinary hiders would probably find it difficult to evade even one type of danger, let alone three at the same time.

This made Chu Xiu once again marvel at the profound heritage of large families.

At the same time, I was also curious about what the fourth Buddha statue, which hadn't moved and had a laughing expression on its face, was doing.

But he didn't ask any more questions and focused his attention on the extremely yin water in front of him. He flicked his finger, and a fierce ghost drifted unsteadily toward the puddle.

Under the intense gaze of the two, the vengeful ghost reached the edge of the puddle. Just as it was about to squat down to absorb the extremely yin water, a hand suddenly reached out from the puddle and grabbed its soul. The vengeful ghost did not even struggle before merging into the puddle.

Wisps of yin energy drifted out, and the extremely yin water seemed to become even more concentrated.

"Hiss, so that ghost is hiding in the extremely yin water?" Jiang Miaoyin gasped. "This is troublesome. If that ghost can control the extremely yin water, then, senior!"

Before she could finish her analysis, Chu Xiu got up and walked forward. At the same time, the ghost of the extremely yin water also noticed Chu Xiu. It stood up straight, like a water spirit made entirely of water, exuding a chilling aura.

The surrounding Yin energy began to surge violently. The ghost seemed to have gained ultimate control over the Yin energy in the vicinity by using the extremely Yin water, and the Yin energy within a radius of several miles was converging on this place.

However, before it could launch an attack, Chu Xiu pointed forward indifferently.

In an instant, countless giant, jet-black swords materialized in mid-air behind him and then shot towards the ghostly creature!

The ghost let out a scream of alarm and anger, and the surrounding yin energy quickly condensed into layers of shields, but those pitch-black heavy swords were like indestructible divine weapons, smashing all the barriers in front of it with overwhelming force!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the ghost's shriek, a barrage of heavy swords crashed into the ground nearby like cannonballs under heavy fire, each strike causing a tremendous tremor in the earth!

After hundreds of heavy swords fell one after another, the place where the ghost had been was completely unrecognizable, as if it had been plowed up a hundred times by heavy bombers.

The extremely yin water that had originally gathered into a pool was scattered everywhere by his smashing.

[Item Obtained: 4516 Causality Points]

[Item Obtained: Shadow Spirit Dust (King-Rank Perfect)]

[Acquired Equipment: Diffuse Cloak (King Rank Perfect)]

Hearing the notification sound, Chu Xiu finally felt relieved and stepped forward to collect the scattered Yin Water. A massive number of ghosts also swarmed forward, devouring the scattered remains.

Jiang Miaoyin, standing behind him, was speechless with shock at the brutal scene.

At the same time, a strange feeling arose in my heart.

Why does she feel like this senior is constantly getting stronger?
