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

Chapter 286 Blood Demon Giant God

"What kind of monster is that?"

The people in the base city looked up at the colossal creature, even larger than the mountain where the Titan was located, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, and their faces turned deathly pale.

The giant was entirely blood-red, and strangely, its body was covered with countless blood demon servants, each only half of their bodies remaining. The blood demon wizards were also embedded upside down in the giant's body, their lower bodies completely fused together.

From a distance, it looks like a monster covered in tiny tumors, and just one glance is enough to evoke a sense of disgust and unease.

Aurora and the others had never seen a monster that looked like this before.

In the past, although the Blood Demon was ferocious and ugly, it had an overall beauty of a hunter. Its strong thighs, explosive muscles, and sharp claws all had a harmonious aesthetic.

But the monster right now can only be described as "deformed"!
It's like a monster that recklessly and forcibly mixes together with its immense life force!

On the monster's chest, Meng Xuanshu's face slowly emerged. His limbs were all contracted inside the monster's body, but nearby, countless eyes appeared, turning in different directions, seemingly searching for Chu Xiu's whereabouts. After finding nothing, the thousands of malicious eyes all looked towards the distant base city.

The next moment, the thousand-foot-tall crimson giant strode forward toward the base city!
"Boom!"

With just one step, the entire mountain forest began to tremble. The fire defense line built with thermonuclear waste could not even be crossed by the giant's toes. When those giant feet landed, the wind pressure alone extinguished the fire within a radius of hundreds of meters.

The air was thick with the stench of blood. The Awakened Ones, who had just fought a fierce battle with the Blood Demon's minions and had barely managed to rebuild their defenses, looked up at this colossal, god-like creature, their faces filled with uncontrollable despair and fear.

Even Aurora, her pale blue eyes unable to maintain her composure, pressed the communicator, and her roar echoed throughout the entire mountain:
"Fire!"

As the words fell, the Titan machine unleashed its full firepower, with thousands of cannons roaring incessantly. Electromagnetic armor-piercing shells streaked across the sky, and the shells rained down on the behemoth like a meteor shower, the explosions turning half the sky red.

However, these attacks, which were enough to easily pierce through heavy tanks, only blew open a few pieces of flesh when they landed on the blood-red giant! This thousand-foot giant was not only enormous in size, but its physical strength was also incredibly high!

At the same time, its skin glowed with a red light, like an invisible life force field, which quickly repaired its damaged body and propelled the massive blood-red giant forward, preventing it from being crushed by its own gravity.

Faced with this boundless vitality, as vast as the ocean, the firepower of the Titan machine was utterly insignificant.

After taking only two steps, a series of tremors suddenly came from afar, and a large amount of dust rose up. At the same time, the crimson giant also stopped and looked into the distance, the crimson light on its body flickering.

"The reaction wasn't slow," Meng Xuanshu said with a light laugh, looking towards the direction where the dust was rising in the distance.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Chu Xiu's figure flashed by. If one looked down, they would see that the entire ground had been collapsed by his immense power. These collapsed rocks cut off the flow of blood into the sea, finally separating this battlefield from the boundless sea of ​​blood, severing the source of the blood demon's life force at its root.

"The right decision," Meng Xuanshu praised, then shook his head. "However, despite your quick reaction, the outcome was already decided the moment the Blood Demon Giant God was reborn."

By harnessing the boundless life force of the Blood Sea and unleashing the core divine power of the Blood Demon race, the ultimate life form born is known as the Blood Demon Giant God!
As long as one stands atop the sea of ​​blood, the Blood Demon is an immortal being, like a god!

Furthermore, Meng Xuanshu used a top-tier fusion technique from a level ten civilization to merge himself with this Blood Demon Giant, making its power surpass that of Heroic Spirits!
As his words fell, the blood-red giant roared to the sky, and its thousand-foot-tall body emitted a scarlet halo that spread out like a tide, seemingly forming a huge domain in the air that covered a radius of dozens of miles!
Within the domain, the Blood Demon servants in the distance seemed to have all their life force drained instantly, visibly shrinking and dehydrating, turning into streaks of blood light that merged into the giant's body.

Those blood demons that were isolated by the flames actually transformed into nutrients, nourishing this terrifying monster! The blood light on its body, which was about to extinguish, shone again, even more intensely!

Its previously shaky body was stabilized and propelled once again by this powerful life force, moving towards the base city.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu's expression became more solemn than ever before.

Although the blood demon monster's body was very strong, it was clearly not strong enough to support its thousand-foot-tall body. Just like its martial god avatar, it was merely a phantom formed from demonic energy.

A true, fully solid, thousand-foot-tall monster's physical strength is such that even if it were to withstand a nuclear explosion from hundreds of meters away, it would only suffer minor damage, let alone an armor-piercing shell!
He originally thought that as long as he cut off the opponent's energy source, he could crush it with his own gravity alone, but he did not expect that this blood-red monster would have such a heaven-defying ability.

The Crimson Domain is like a fully enhanced version of the Sky-Reaching Blood Vine. Now, even if the Sea of ​​Blood is blocked, with its endless Blood Demon minions, it can easily destroy the base city before its energy is exhausted.

But the most terrifying part doesn't end there.

Chu Xiu's gaze fell upon the slightly protruding face on the chest of the crimson giant, which was none other than Meng Xuan Shu, fused within its body.

"So this is how you planned to deal with my virtual god mode?"

After growing to gigantic size, its ability to resist mental attacks also skyrocketed, which meant that even if Chu Xiu switched back to the Void God mode, he would not be able to cause significant damage to Meng Xuanshu.

As for the attack of demonic energy condensed into soldiers, it goes without saying that no matter how strong Chu Xiu is, he cannot withstand the combined power of hundreds of millions of blood demon servants by himself.

Of course, the Crimson Giant is not without its flaws.

For example, it seems that Meng Xuanshu's combat power is currently sealed, making it impossible for him to use that strange law of gravity. At the same time, the blood giant is not agile and it is difficult for it to directly attack Chu Xiu.

The other side was of course aware of this as well. Their intention was simple and direct: to win by directly destroying the spark of civilization, rather than engaging Chu Xiu in a direct confrontation!

This can be said to be the lowest-risk and most reliable way of fighting. Even if Chu Xiu has other trump cards, he can still deal with it calmly with the help of this huge monster!

Furthermore, since the entity that made this move was the Blood Demon, it did not constitute a violation of Meng Xuanshu's rules.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated, and in a flash, he appeared in mid-air.

Demonic energy surged around him, and a phantom of a war god, hundreds of feet tall, materialized behind him. The phantom was entirely black, wielding a giant blade. With a roar, the mountains and forests trembled, and it unleashed a deafening howl as it slashed straight at the blood-red giant.

"boom!"

The two collided with a tremendous sound, and the resulting giant waves uprooted large swathes of trees!

A huge wound appeared where the Blood Demon Giant God was struck, as if a waterfall of blood had been cut open from the sky! The trees below were even broken by the cascading blood.

However, compared to the blood-red giant that was thousands of feet tall, this injury was nothing at all, and even the illusory image of the Martial God was like a child! It merely glanced down and then swung its enormous palm to strike it!
"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire head of the Martial God phantom was smashed to pieces!
Although Chu Xiu managed to disperse the illusory image of the Martial God into mist in time, the enormous energy fluctuations from the blood-red giant's wave of its hand still destroyed most of Chu Xiu's body, and a large amount of demonic energy dissipated.

This filled Chu Xiu with horror; the power and energy density of the Blood Demon Giant God were even greater than he had anticipated!
Chu Xiu's expression darkened. He raised his hand and waved the Soul Banner. The fully assembled ghost army appeared beside him. Led by eleven high-ranking ghost generals and more than fifty ordinary ghost generals, the power of all the ghosts was condensed into one, instantly unleashing tens of thousands of destructive blade slashes! They shot towards the blood giant!

One wound after another was cut open, but within a few breaths, the wounds healed completely.

The combined attack of the demons, comparable to heroic spirits, was as insignificant as ants before the thousand-foot giant! Although they continued to inflict damage, they could not stop the giant's advance at all.

Not to mention that the life force of the Blood Demon servants was constantly being extracted and transformed into a part of the Crimson Giant, repairing its injuries.

Chu Xiu's aura became slightly disordered after unleashing a series of divine abilities. Looking at the towering figure that seemed to connect with the heavens, a rare hint of retreat flashed in his eyes. Meng Xuan Shu had given him far too many unexpected shocks. Whether it was the gravity divine ability or the secret technique he had just fused with the crimson giant, it had completely broadened Chu Xiu's horizons! This was the foundation of an envoy from a top-tier civilization!

Even Chu Xiu felt a sense of powerlessness, and the residents of the base city were already in a state of complete panic!
Through the cameras on the Titan, they looked up at the blood-red figure that blotted out the sky, the powerless roar of the Titan echoing in their ears, the cries of children and the whispers of adults intertwined, and despair spread like a plague.

The soldiers fighting on the front lines could feel the terrifying, unstoppable pressure of the Blood Demon Giant even more!

Some of the awakened ones completely broke down and fled back desperately!

Although they knew that running away would also lead to their deaths, they could no longer maintain their rationality in the face of that thousand-foot giant and could only act on their instincts!
Others roared in despair and frantically pulled the triggers, but humanity's once-proud firearms—the incendiary armor-piercing rounds that could penetrate centimeter-thick steel plates—were as laughable as water gun toys in front of the blood giant.

"Qin Yu, even now, you still won't give up?"

Meng Xuanshu's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Chu Xiu did not reply, but only gave the blood-red giant a cold look before disappearing from the spot.

A few breaths later, he had entered the Titan machine.

At this moment, Aurora was in the coolant. Her eyes were closed, and her beautiful face was slightly pale. Simultaneously manipulating such a large number of weapons, even with the assistance of well-trained soldiers, was a great strain on her mental strength.

Sensing Chu Xiu's arrival, Aurora opened her eyes, her pale blue pupils looking at him with a hint of sadness.

"Senior, I."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him.

"It's not time to despair yet. This giant, though powerful, is not invincible. At least for now, your artillery fire can hit him, can't it?"

"Meng Xuanshu used his enormous body to resist my mental attack. However, after the fusion and enlargement, although the stats on the panel increased significantly, his agility decreased considerably. This means that this giant will have to take the full brunt of the Titan's attack."

Theoretically, the Titan Machine, without activating its Divine Strike, is invincible even to King-level creatures. However, if every shell hits its mark, it can provide damage output comparable to a Heroic Spirit!
This made this technological monster, which maximized its firepower advantage, the main source of damage.

“But that’s far from enough,” Aurora said painfully.

"It's alright, my ghost army didn't attack with full force either. It was just a test."

"This crimson giant may seem enormous, but we can defeat it by attacking its core together."

Chu Xiu's words rekindled a glimmer of hope in Aurora's eyes.

However, what Chu Xiu didn't mention was that the Blood Demon Core was firmly protected by Meng Xuanshu. Even if the two of them joined forces to break through the Blood Demon Giant's defenses, they would still have to face this powerful envoy from a level 10 civilization.

Chu Xiu wasn't sure if he could succeed, but now he had no choice but to give it his all.

“Aurora, I want you to activate Overload mode and concentrate all your firepower on that monster’s chest. And maintain that firepower for at least 30 seconds.”

Chu Xiu's words caused Aurora's expression to change slightly. You see, once the overload is activated, all the heat from the overload has to be borne by her alone. Otherwise, the cannon barrel, which fires at a speed exceeding the limit, will be melted by the high temperature. Her previous record was only 17 seconds.

Although Chu Xiu helped her upgrade the condensation system, the number of cannons also increased significantly, and Aurora really wasn't confident that she could hold out for that long.

She hesitated, but before she could look up, Chu Xiu continued, "Not only that, I also want you to activate the Heavenly Strike Divine Light the instant you break through the Blood Demon's defenses, and use your spiritual power to accurately hit the Blood Demon's core."

"During the subsequent battle, if Meng Xuanshu senses that things are not going well, he will definitely move the Blood Demon Core. Only the Heavenly Strike Divine Light, with its near-light speed, can ignore the opponent's dodges and hit the target in one strike."

Chu Xiu's words left Aurora speechless for a moment.

Not only do they have to endure the high temperatures of the artillery overload, but they also have to use the Heavenly Strike Divine Light to accurately hit the Blood Demon's core several kilometers away at the last moment?

Furthermore, the power of laser weapons needs time to build up, meaning that a single hit isn't enough; she must keep the target locked on.

This was almost impossible, but she also knew that if she failed to accomplish this, the entire base city would be destroyed. Under this immense pressure, even this King-level Awakener couldn't help but tremble slightly with her hands.

But in the end, she took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Leave it to me."

Chu Xiu didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to leave. The Blood Demon Giant was approaching, and they had no time to waste.

Just as Chu Xiu was about to activate the space teleportation, Aurora suddenly called out, "Senior, wait!"

Chu Xiu paused, then asked, "Is there something you need?"

“Senior.” Aurora hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and asked, “Senior, this should be our last chance. Before that, I have something I want to ask you.”

"I want to know, are I and the residents of the base city not actually real? Are we just a simulation you created for your trial?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu showed a rare look of surprise.

"How could you have such a strange idea?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Because I have heard of such trials before, and the first civilization of our world wiped out its world completely, so the fierce-level trials are purely simulations."

"And in the past few days, I've seen too many things that I don't understand."

Aurora's words reminded Chu Xiu of the civilization envoy who had transformed into a celestial being in Peach Garden. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared. Instead, he chuckled and said, "How could that be? A truly simulated life form would not have enough intelligence to doubt whether it is a simulation."

Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Aurora seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chu Xiu didn't say anything more, but after giving Aurora a meaningful look, he flew away from the Titan Machine.

He wasn't entirely lying; normally, people in a simulation trial wouldn't realize they were being simulated.

But for some reason, Aurora noticed this. Was it because she was perceptive? Or because she had a natural talent for intuition? Or was it for some reason that Chu Xiu was unaware of?
However, no matter what, Chu Xiu could not tell her the truth. He still needed Aurora's power. If Aurora's fighting spirit collapsed at this time, it would be very bad.

Without thinking further, Chu Xiu looked again at the Blood Demon Giant in the distance, and the ghost army appeared beside him.

Behind him, as if responding to his call, all the Titan Machines rose with a hydraulic roar, pointing their muzzles directly at the chest of the blood-red giant, where Meng Xuanshu was located.

The final battle has begun.
