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

Chapter 282 Instantly Kills Heroic Spirits
The bronze spear was too fast; Chu Xiu didn't even have time to raise his Great Sun Guardian Shield before it hit him!

"boom!"

Amidst the sharp clanging of metal, a visible crack appeared on Chu Xiu's Xuan Sha Glazed Armor, which then rapidly expanded under the impact of the battle runes and evil energy until it shattered over a large area!
The bronze spear, however, continued its relentless thrust, piercing through Chu Xiu's body!
"Wow!"

Chu Xiu coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell downwards.

This scene brought smiles to the faces of all the civilization envoys.

"As a summoner, you dare to challenge [The End] with only two pieces of legendary armor? Should I say you're being arrogant or overestimating your abilities?"

"However, this is a mistake that low-level civilizations often make when they don't know enough about the Abyss."

Everyone was completely relieved. If they had any doubts before that Chu Xiu was acting, those thoughts were now completely dispelled. Shattering a precious [Legendary] equipment and being seriously injured—if it was all an act, they would accept it.

"Don't be careless. Proceed with the original plan and launch a full-scale attack," Meng Xuanshu said.

"Yes!"

The crowd answered in unison, and the bronze spear once again materialized in Tuoba Ye's hand. A strong aura of bloodlust emanated from his body. The other civilization envoys also took out their weapons, each of which was an extremely powerful legendary king-level equipment!

A series of massive energy fluctuations rose up, and the fifteen civilization envoys all exuded astonishing auras. At the same time, dozens of Blood Demon followers roared and attacked Chu Xiu from all directions!

Even though Chu Xiu managed to raise a strong demonic aura in time, forming a barrier in front of him and holding the Great Sun Guardian Shield horizontally in front of him, his equipment still shattered under the continuous attacks, and he coughed up blood, suffering further severe injuries to his body.

This caused Aurora and the others, who were watching from afar, to turn pale. The enemy's strength far exceeded their expectations!
However, just as everyone was about to deliver a fatal blow to Chu Xiu, an incredibly powerful and terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the distance and rapidly approached the battlefield!
Meng Xuanshu's expression changed slightly, and he cursed under his breath, "Inferior creatures who can't tell right from wrong."

The other civilization envoys also looked impatient. According to the original plan, the Blood Demon should have kept its true form well hidden and never exposed itself no matter what happened.

But it was clear that the Blood Demon did not trust them. After all, for the Civilization Envoy, killing Chu Xiu was all that was needed, but the Blood Demon needed a living Chu Xiu in order to maximize the power of the Blood Demon's followers.

Seeing that Chu Xiu was in dire straits, he could no longer resist making a move.

However, the group of civilization envoys did not stop them.

Now that the situation is settled, there's no need to break ties with the Blood Demon.

Tuoba Ye laughed and said, "Brother Meng, aren't you being a little too cautious? The fact that these envoys from low-level civilizations have such strength is already beyond our expectations. Now that he is seriously injured, how could he possibly pose a threat to a powerful hero at the level of a Heroic Spirit? Especially the Blood Demon, which is known for its tenacious vitality."

"Since we made a promise to this Blood Demon before we came, what harm is there in granting its request?"

Meng Xuanshu frowned and said, "No matter how strong this Blood Demon is, it is just a simulation of the abyss. In any case, it will dissipate after the trial ends. His forced breakthrough now will only create variables. Even if it only provides the opponent with a 0.01% chance of winning, we don't need to take that risk."

"It would be a disgrace to our civilization to make a mistake on such a small task."

The other civilization envoys were secretly astonished by Meng Xuanshu's words. The task of assisting in the [End] Trial was a task with particularly generous rewards and a very high level in their civilization halls. Unexpectedly, in Meng Xuanshu's mouth, it seemed to be just a trivial task.

After saying that, he sighed softly: "But since things have come to this, we can only proceed according to the original plan. Everyone, go and protect the Blood Demon immediately."

"Yes!"

All the envoys of civilization responded in unison.

They possessed the Abyss's unique communication system, enabling them to exchange messages in an extremely short time. Therefore, almost the instant the Blood Demon's aura was revealed, the fifteen civilization envoys reacted immediately. They swiftly ascended into the sky, forming powerful defensive spells around themselves.

However, although they followed Meng Xuanshu's instructions, they were somewhat skeptical, thinking that he was too cautious and a bit timid and overthinking.

Several people didn't even use their defensive skills, but continued to approach Chu Xiu. They were afraid of missing this opportunity. If Chu Xiu escaped without any burden after the civilians fled, and he managed to break through the encirclement, they might not be able to kill him today, thus losing a large portion of the reward and allowing the later civilization envoys to benefit.

Tuoba Ye was the same. The bronze spear re-formed in his hand, but just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow to Chu Xiu, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

Despite being covered in blood and having multiple broken bones, Chu Xiu, though looking extremely disheveled, showed no panic in his calm black eyes. Instead, he quietly surveyed himself and the others.

Tuoba Ye understood that look all too well; it was the look of a hunter eyeing its prey; the look of someone calmly analyzing weaknesses and waiting for the right moment to fire that fatal arrow!

With his hair standing on end, Tuoba Ye roared, his blood energy surging into the bronze spear in his hand as if it were free. Then, his arm muscles bulged, and he hurled it at Chu Xiu with all his might.

"Die!"

Although he didn't know why Chu Xiu had that look in his eyes, Tuoba Ye had strong confidence in his own strength. He pushed the battle runes to the limit and, with the power of the abyss added to the attack, he could kill that kid with one blow, no matter what strange things he did.

Bronze spears pierced the sky, and the combined attacks from other civilizations created a terrifying energy storm with massive energy fluctuations!

"boom!"

Under multiple blows, the demonic energy, which was already at its limit, could no longer hold on and collapsed directly. Chu Xiu's body was directly shredded into mincemeat in this destructive storm!

"It's over." Tuoba Ye revealed a faint smile.

Faced with this multi-pronged attack, not to mention Chu Xiu, even a defensive class like the Civilization Envoy couldn't withstand it!

"Boom!"

As the dust settled, just as Tuoba Ye had predicted, Chu Xiu was nowhere to be seen in the distance, presumably torn to shreds by the extreme energy into the most basic particles. "Stop, you fools!" A furious voice echoed from the sky, followed by the appearance of a massive, blood-red figure, and the terrifying pressure emanating from a superior being descended upon the scene.

The Blood Demon, hundreds of feet tall, appeared above the Civilization Envoys, looking down at them from above.

"I need an explanation!"

The Blood Demon's angry voice rang out, but no one paid any attention, because after completing the mission, the trial would soon end and they would return.

Why waste your breath on a simulated digital being?

However, it wasn't long before all the civilization envoys realized that something was wrong.

Why hasn't the information about the end of this trial arrived yet?

Could it be that.
Meng Xuanshu's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Not good!"

The moment he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, a pair of golden wings unfolding behind him, and he rushed towards the Blood Demon in mid-air like a shooting star!
"How is this possible?" Tuoba Ye's eyes widened in surprise. The figure was none other than Chu Xiu!

But how could he possibly have survived such an attack?

Furthermore, Chu Xiu's injuries had miraculously healed completely, something even a civilization envoy skilled in close combat couldn't do!
Tuoba Ye was shocked, but he was a veteran of many battles and reacted in an instant. He shouted and his blood surged again. A bronze spear appeared in his hand and shot towards Chu Xiu with unparalleled power!

However, this time something happened that made his eyes pop out.

Just as the bronze spear was less than five meters away from Chu's body, a large hand made of pure demonic energy suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed it accurately!
The bronze longsword let out a mournful cry, trembling continuously in the void, yet it was completely unable to escape that giant hand. Tuoba Ye's proud blood energy and the baleful aura condensed from his battle patterns were like a mouse encountering a tiger in front of that giant hand, completely suppressed by the demonic energy and unable to budge an inch!

He could sense that the power contained in that large hand was far superior to the battle markings on his body!

But how is that possible?

He is a civilization envoy from an eighth-level civilization!

Level 8 civilization, that is, a civilization that possesses gods! Only by possessing gods can one be considered an advanced civilization, a qualitative leap from a low-level civilization!
But now, he has been fundamentally suppressed by a civilization envoy from a lower civilization!
His all-out attack was met with such nonchalant resistance from his opponent! How could there be such a vast difference between two civilization envoys?
Even the strongest civilization envoys in their race couldn't have done it!

The next moment, something even more terrifying happened. The demonic hand continued to compress, and the bronze spear finally gave way, breaking in two after letting out a final, mournful cry.

"Wow!"

Tuoba Ye coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Chu Xiu.

Even if he was very confident in his own strength, he had to accept the fact that Chu Xiu had actually been hiding his strength all along! The mist that was originally about to retreat contained the power to easily break his bronze spear!
"Run!" Meng Xuanshu shouted to the Blood Demon.

"Escape?" The Blood Demon sneered disdainfully. "I didn't know you otherworldly visitors were so cowardly. With so many of us, are you sure we can't handle a seriously injured person? Are you trying to fool me again?"

Instead of fleeing, the Blood Demon unleashed an even denser surge of blood energy. It burst forth from the void behind it, sweeping towards Chu Xiu in mid-air, while its retinue rushed to its front to protect it!

In truth, if Chu Xiu had flown a little faster, the Blood Demon would have been worried. However, Chu Xiu's biggest weakness was his movement speed. Even at its peak, the Garuda Wings of the General rank were only at the King rank level, which made the Blood Demon underestimate him.

However, in the next instant, its expression changed drastically. A sharp black light burst forth in mid-air, and in an instant, countless swirling blade energies burst forth!

In the blink of an eye, the dozens of King-level Blood Demon minions that went to intercept them were all pulverized into mincemeat by the powerful spiritual energy storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

Limbs and pieces of flesh rained down from the sky. Even more terrifying was that the black mist wasn't just fog; it contained countless sharp black swords that precisely pierced the cores of the Blood Demon's minions. No matter how strong their regenerative abilities, they were utterly rendered useless and instantly annihilated.

"this!"

The Blood Demon showed a rare look of shock. A group of civilization envoys also rushed forward to intercept him, and dozens of array flags flew out rapidly, forming barriers that shimmered with spiritual light in the air, attempting to prevent Chu Xiu from getting close.

However, those barriers and shields couldn't even last a moment against the surging and violent demonic energy, and were directly shattered! One civilization envoy, relying on his legendary protective gear and superior physique, even tried to intercept Chu Xiu head-on, but Chu Xiu didn't even glance at him. He directly condensed a pair of black hands in the void and shattered the armor on the envoy's body with a single palm strike. The envoy immediately coughed up blood and flew backward.

This astonishing scene left all the civilization envoys looking horrified.

What surprised them even more was that after breaking through the numerous obstacles, the black mist not only did not dissipate, but instead became even more frenzied and concentrated!

They continuously surged out of Chu Xiu's body, mixing, condensing, recombining, and expanding!
In just a few breaths, a phantom of a Martial God, as tall as the Blood Demon and over a hundred feet tall, appeared before everyone!
The illusory figure of the God of War was clad in heavy armor and held a long halberd. The patterns on the armor were so lifelike that they seemed to be real. In the instant it materialized, the heavy halberd in its hand slashed towards the Blood Demon!
This attack was like a mountain crashing down from the sky, the terrifying force creating a shockwave visible to the naked eye, and there was even a mysterious force that sealed off the surrounding space!
The Blood Demon knew he had no chance of escaping the combined attack of the blades and could only take it head-on. He roared and his tentacles stretched out from his back. Hundreds of tentacles, like hundreds of gnarled ancient trees, joined forces to intercept the heavy blow in front of him.

However, even with all his might, he could not stop the attack from landing. To everyone's astonishment, the tentacles broke off one by one, and the halberd continued to fall with undiminished force until it cleaved the Blood Demon's massive body in two!
But this was far from over! To the horror of the civilization envoys, the heavy blow was accompanied by an incredibly powerful force. The part of the blood demon that came into contact with the blow began to crumble on its own, and its enormous body collapsed like a building!
The group of civilization envoys gaped in disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity. Although the Blood Demon's true form was probably only close to the King-level of a Heroic Spirit, it barely reached the Heroic Spirit level under the buff of the [End] difficulty, making it one of the weakest Heroic Spirits.

Even so, they are still heroic spirits!

Someone who can instantly kill a Heroic Spirit upon first meeting—can this be an Awakened General-level being?
Furthermore, isn't he a summoner? How can someone with such terrifying physical combat power be a summoner?

But if it's not a summoner class, then what are those terrifying armies of ghosts and the blood demon avatars that are almost indistinguishable from heroic spirits?

For a moment, the group of civilization envoys looked at each other in bewilderment, and there was complete silence within the team.
