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

Chapter 306 Simplified Domain

"So, what do you plan to do with that divinely bestowed meteorite?"

On the way to the destination, after hesitating for a while, the pink-haired girl couldn't help but ask.

"You haven't given up yet?" Chu Xiu chuckled.

"Because I always mess up the things my master asks me to do. But don't worry, I won't attack you anymore. I was thinking that maybe I can trade with you for something else in the future," the pink-haired girl said.

Chu Xiu took another careful look at her. Judging from her appearance and demeanor, she didn't seem to be very old. When they first met, Chu Xiu thought that she was at most a King-level, but he didn't expect her to be so strong.

Although age doesn't prove anything for awakened beings, Chu Xiu suddenly became curious about the identity of the master of such a young heroic spirit.

"What's your name?" Chu Xiu asked after thinking for a moment.

"Chen Yuan".

Upon hearing the name, Ella looked up at her in surprise and asked, "Your sister is Chen Huang?"

Chen Yuan nodded, and Ella's expression immediately became strange. She glanced at Chen Yuan several times, but ultimately didn't say anything more.

Chu Xiu looked at the two of them with suspicion. He had never heard of either of these names before. Could it be that Chen Yuan was from the Alliance Council? That's why Ella knew about them?

However, he didn't dwell on it and instead said frankly, "Naturally, it's for crafting equipment. If you can afford enough Causality Points later, I might be able to give it to you."

Although forging the Heavy Sword Chilong greatly enhanced Chu Xiu's strength, the time required to forge mythical equipment was far greater than that of legendary equipment. If he wanted to forge it in a short time, he would have to invest a large number of additional causal points to accelerate the process, which significantly increased his forging costs.

So if this girl really offers a high price, he doesn't necessarily have to hold on to her. After all, in the current situation, improving his strength in the short term is the most important thing.

If Chu Xiu could gather another three or four million karma points and cultivate the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon God to the eighth level, his chances of protecting himself would be much greater.

As the three were talking, the completely destroyed auction venue in the center came into view.

Green Princess's task for the three was to retrieve the "seeds" of five nearby heroic spirits. Chu Xiu used his divine sense and quickly locked onto a man sitting casually on the top of a building.

He flew over on the wings of Garuda, and the man, as if he had been expecting it, shouted enthusiastically, "Brother Qin!"

Chu Xiu had met this man before, and they had even had a pleasant conversation at the trade fair. Upon landing, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Brother Li, you should know the purpose of my visit this time, right?"

"Of course, the government's broadcasts can be heard throughout the city, how could I not hear them?" said the spirit surnamed Li with a smile.

"In that case, may I ask where Brother Li's [seed] is located?"

"Brother Qin!" Li Rong sighed regretfully, "At that time, the [seed] landed not far from me. I suspected it was some kind of conspiracy by the extraterrestrial demons, and I had already made up my mind that I would rather die than become such an ugly creature, so I didn't even bother to take it!"

"Now we don't know where it has ended up. Maybe it was picked up by some low-level Awakened."

He looked at Chu Xiu with a sincere expression: "Brother Qin, you know my character. What I said just now was absolutely true. I never expected that my firm resolve would become a hindrance! Isn't this unfair? I wonder if Brother Qin could be lenient?"

As he spoke, he secretly handed over a small piece of causal point: "Brother Qin, do me a favor, and I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

Chu Xiu looked at the man speechlessly, too lazy to say anything more, and simply said, "Brother Li, since I have accepted this task, I am naturally prepared to offend people. You can get a national reward by handing over the seed. If you still don't hand over the seed, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As soon as he finished speaking, dense demonic energy surged from behind Chu Xiu, causing Li Rong's expression to change. Finally, he snorted coldly and threw out a [seed].

Chu Xiu took the ticket and, too lazy to pay any more attention to Li Rong's unpleasant expression, flew directly to the next person's location.

However, when they arrived at the designated location, the heroic spirits that were supposed to be stationed there had disappeared. Chu Xiu scanned the area with his divine sense and only found a convoy of transporting supplies nearby.

Chu Xiu gently pressed his earring: "Senior Green Princess, 'Shadow Master' is not at the designated location."

"Hold on."

A reply came immediately from the earring.

Not long after, Chu Xiu felt as if an invisible wave was sweeping towards him from the central command tower in the distance. The next moment, Green Princess's slightly lazy voice rang out: "Found it, in the basement of 'NK Bar' three streets away from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. This heroic spirit was clearly the type who was good at hiding. Even his divine sense couldn't find him after a quick look. However, Green Princess, who was more than ten kilometers away, only glanced at him and located his position in less than a second.

"This is the reconnaissance class at the [Demigod] level!"

Chu Xiu felt that if the other party intended to investigate, his disguise would be exposed.

"After all, I'm just a King-level being; I'm still too weak in front of a demigod."

Feeling somewhat emotional, Chu Xiu didn't dwell on it any longer. In a flash, he arrived at the location Green Princess had indicated, and then unleashed a punch without hesitation!
"boom!"

The compressed force of the punch instantly pierced through three floors of reinforced concrete, creating a large hole in the center of the bar, revealing a helpless face inside.

This was a sickly-looking man who, upon seeing Chu Xiu, readily threw out the [Seed] and said somewhat dejectedly, "Brother Qin, I didn't expect your reconnaissance abilities to be so outstanding."

"It's not me, it's Senior Green Princess who's in the city right now."

"Green Princess?" The man was taken aback, then his expression softened considerably. "I thought she had already run away, after all, the people under the Longevity King are all..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly noticed the green leaf hanging on Chu Xiu's ear and immediately changed his tune: "They are all people with formidable strength, exquisite supernatural abilities, and great wisdom and courage. With Senior Green Fairy here, I feel much more at ease."

Chen Yuan behind Chu Xiu couldn't help but chuckle. Chu Xiu simply shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, I can't say much. I can only tell you that there are many more powerful people in the city than you imagine. We are far from surrendering and giving up."

"Is that so?" The man seemed much more excited. Chu Xiu also put away the [seed] and flew towards the third person without stopping.

“We’ve got another seed. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought,” Chen Yuan said with a smile on her face as she followed behind Chu Xiu. “General Zhao was so serious just now. I thought we were in for a tough battle.”

For some reason, Chu Xiu felt that there was a hint of regret in the girl's words.

"Don't let your guard down," Chu Xiu said calmly. "While everyone is in turmoil because of the Horned Demon General's declaration, it's the perfect time for the Extreme Path to sow discord and launch an attack. They won't miss this opportunity."

"Ella, keep an eye on your contact bracelet. If there's a support signal nearby, we need to get there immediately."

Ella didn't seem to like Chu Xiu giving orders, but naturally she wouldn't say anything about such trivial matters, and simply nodded silently.

When Chu Xiu reached the third position, he frowned slightly.

This person was responsible for protecting a man-made park. Beneath this park was a massive refuge facility, which in his previous life had been an air-raid shelter before the Abyss invasion. At this moment, it housed a staggering 300,000 people. However, the heroic spirit was not in its original location. Instead, not far away, at the bottom of the artificial lake, Chu Xiu's divine sense detected a strange semi-circular area with a diameter exceeding 300 meters. That area completely isolated his divine sense from it.

“Senior Green Princess, the ‘Ten Thousand Cliff’ is not in the area where he should be.”

Not long after, Green Princess replied: "He has activated a 'domain' to isolate me from detection. You need to go into the 'domain' in person."

Green Princess's words made Chu Xiu sigh softly.

"I didn't expect it to actually be a domain."

Domains are the power of gods, and usually only demigods can wield a portion of the power of a domain.

However, just like the domain spirits in the world of the Hundred Ghosts' Forge, a few special professions or special opportunities of the Heroic Spirit King rank also have the opportunity to create simple domains.

And these kinds of people are often very difficult to deal with.

"The towering cliff is named for its powerful defensive capabilities. Within its domain, the attributes of all enemies are weakened, while the spirit itself is greatly enhanced, making it a formidable Heroic Spirit."

With a slight frown, Chu Xiu did not hesitate. If it were a simple task, the government would not have offered such a high reward.

With a swift movement, he and the other two decisively plunged into the artificial lake.

Chu Xiu moved extremely fast. The moment he entered, he felt the resistance of the water surface, but this resistance disappeared not long after. He felt his body lighten and he had arrived at the bottom of the artificial lake, in a region isolated from the seawater.

In the center of the domain, three figures were already waiting for them.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow. These three were all Heroic Spirits, and they happened to be the three Heroic Spirits for whom he still needed to collect [Seeds]!

"So you all teamed up here to wait for me, huh? That's a clever move, but..."

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed sharply, and he shouted sternly, "Do you really want to go head-to-head with the government? Even if you repel the three of us, so what? When the demigods arrive, do you plan to fight them with this rudimentary domain?"

"The three of you have abandoned your posts. If an accident were to occur now, resulting in the tragic deaths of many civilians, how would you bear the responsibility!"

However, the three seemed to have been prepared for Chu Xiu's threat. The middle one, dressed in heavy black armor and as burly as a mountain, said in a deep voice, "We are naturally no match for demigods, but in the current situation, even demigods need our strength. Since that's the case, we naturally have the right to negotiate."

"Please convey to Senior Green Princess that the three of us are still willing to serve the government, but we request that the [seed] be preserved."

Chu Xiu sneered, "Your information network is quite impressive."

"Unfortunately"

"You've miscalculated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Garuda Wings behind Chu Xiu suddenly spread out, and he transformed into lightning in an instant, rushing towards the three people below!

This caused the three men's expressions to change drastically. They never expected that Chu Xiu would dare to fight them in the domain!

But the heroic spirit reacted quickly. Wang Meng shouted "Ten Thousand Cliffs," and the power of the entire domain converged at his feet, forming a barrier composed of layers of giant shields in front of the three of them!
Faced with his proud defense, Chu Xiu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his right hand and punched down!
In an instant, a terrifying power of 35,000 points surged out from his body. And that wasn't all. His right fist, which had been fused with the Orlov Giant Axe, gained an additional 4,000 points of power and its hardness was greatly increased. At the same time, the effect of [Four Extremes Conjugate] mobilized the power of the other three legendary equipment pieces at the same moment!
The combination of these three factors brought Chu Xiu's power to over 40,000!
"boom!"

With a deafening roar, to Wang Meng's incredulous gaze, Chu Xiu smashed half of the barrier with just his fists!

The other two were also filled with disbelief. As Wang Meng's friends, they were well aware of how terrifying his defensive power was in his domain. Even super heroes who were extremely close to demigods would find it difficult to break through in a short time.

But this unfamiliar guy actually smashed half of it open with a single punch?
Realizing that something was terribly wrong, Wang Meng broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that he had threatened the wrong person. If it had been an ordinary heroic spirit, he would have had room to bargain, but the person in front of him seemed to be excited about his resistance!
But it was too late to turn back. Wang Meng shouted, and mountain-like shields rose up from the ground. Each of these shields was several meters thick and far stronger than the hardest steel that modern technology could forge!
But Chu Xiu only flashed a mocking look in his eyes. This time, he no longer held back his power. The divine and demonic power cultivated by the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon God roared in his muscles, and the power of the magic weapon driven by the [Four Extremes Conjugate] also perfectly merged with it. The two combined, causing his power to soar to another level!
He knew that when facing an enemy who was determined to hold out, the key was to break through their defenses with overwhelming force, and not to be dragged into a war of attrition! So he immediately used all his strength!

Chu Xiu let out a roar, and in the next instant, the power he had been suppressing for so long was unleashed without reservation!

In an instant, like a surging tide, the entire domain trembled as Chu Xiu's fist touched the shield. Under the shocked gazes of the three heroic spirits, all the shields that Wang Meng had condensed shattered like pieces of paper!

"boom!"

A massive shockwave rippled outwards, reverberating within the domain. The three heroic spirits were forced back by the impact, with Wang Meng turning pale and spitting out a mouthful of blood!

When they looked up, their eyes were filled with horror as they stared at Chu Xiu!
Not only them, but even Chen Yuan and Ella were secretly shocked. Both of them were extremely powerful Heroic Spirits, otherwise they would not have been chosen by the government as members of the core project. They had not used their full strength when they fought Chu Xiu before, so they had been somewhat resentful about not being able to defeat Chu Xiu when they were fighting him two against one.

But upon seeing this terrifying punch, they all felt a sense of lingering fear. If that punch had landed on them, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

Although both of them were very fast and thought they wouldn't be easily hit, they completely gave up the idea of ​​having another match with Chu Xiu.

This kind of battle, where you walk on the edge of a knife and one wrong move could result in serious injury, is something no one but a madman like a serial killer would want to do.

"Wait! I'll pay! I'll pay!"

At this moment, Wang Meng's voice rang out in the arena.

Almost the instant the shield shattered, Wang Meng decisively threw out the [Seed].

Although the three of them might not be no match for Chu Xiu, they didn't really want to fight against the government. After their defensive capabilities were breached, they naturally wouldn't continue fighting for no reason.

This left Chu Xiu somewhat disappointed. If the man resisted to the end, he wouldn't mind committing a legal murder and robbery.

The wealth of a heroic spirit is still very tempting.

And this was the first time that a tank could stand still and allow Chu Xiu to unleash his full power. It has to be said that after this punch, Chu Xiu felt a sense of relief all over his body.

Having accepted the [seed], Chu Xiu stopped making things difficult for Wang Meng. The heroic spirit to his left also obediently handed over its seed. However, just as Chu Xiu was about to collect the last person's [seed], a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, the man let out a sinister laugh, and a blazing white light erupted from his head. A huge surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body and instantly transformed into five fire dragons, roaring as they charged toward the other five people!

This sudden turn of events startled all five of them. No one expected that this person would have the audacity to resist and dare to fight against all five of them alone!
But soon everyone noticed something was wrong, because the spiritual energy emanating from the five fire dragons was incredibly strong, and the temperature soared to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in an instant!
Chu Xiu's expression darkened, and demonic energy surged out from behind him, transforming into countless spears that pierced through the fire dragon. At this moment, the heroic spirit was already a thousand meters away!
A white light flashed above his head, and the air around him seemed to be pushing him forward consciously, making him reach an astonishing speed as he fled into the distance!

This made Chu Xiu look surprised and suspicious. According to the information, this person was clearly a warrior class that was more inclined to melee combat. How could he suddenly possess two such powerful skills?

The next moment, he understood why.

But on the top of this person's head, a long horn with seven lines engraved on it had grown out of nowhere!

【Magic Horns】!
Furthermore, since it is a transformation of a Heroic Spirit, it has probably reached the SS rank!
This person has actually consumed the [seed] and transformed into a horned demon!
