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

Chapter 312 Berserker Bloodline

A light drizzle fell from the sky, making a "sizzling" sound as it landed on the bluestone slabs.

The once orderly residential area has now been corroded and pitted, with melted cement clogging the sewers and accumulating and solidifying under the eaves to form strangely shaped sculptures.

Chu Xiu and Chen Yuan lowered their bodies and hid behind a statue. Not far away, a group of horned demon soldiers were walking towards them.

The closer one gets to the black spire, the more densely packed the horned demon patrols become, stretching and weaving between the spires, blocking all paths leading to the outside world.

At this distance, the Black Death Prison seemed like a mountain rising abruptly from the ground, a sight that instilled a sense of inexplicable fear in anyone who looked at it.

At that moment, a group of horned demons suddenly flew rapidly toward their location!
This is a twenty-man squad, consisting of one King-rank and nineteen General-rank soldiers, a common formation in the Horned Demon army.

The leader, holding a special flag that emitted a faint red light, stopped when he was less than ten meters away from the two!
Chu Xiu could clearly feel that Chen Yuan beside him instantly held her breath.

Fortunately, the group of horned demons only circled around the area before flying away from the two of them.

This made Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"We're only a kilometer away from the tower. The patrol density will increase, so you can't be this nervous," Chu Xiu whispered.

The latter nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two continued to cautiously sneak deeper into the area, and after turning a corner, they finally arrived at the designated location without any major incident.

This is a hotel that has been half corroded by acid rain, with its cold steel frame exposed like withered branches reaching towards the sky.

The black spire stood silently in front of them, with a black liquid resembling oil seeping from its base, staining the surrounding land like a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

At this time, the surrounding area had begun to merge with the alien world, and reddish-brown lands that were clearly not found on Earth could be seen everywhere.

Chu Xiu silently estimated that, according to the distance on the map, this place should be less than 500 meters away from the black spire, but the current distance between the two is definitely more than 1,000 meters. This means that a large amount of space and the other world have been integrated, and the degree of integration far exceeds that of the center of Pengcheng.

These fusions were clearly caused by the Black Spire, and in turn, endowed the Black Spire with special power.

Chu Xiu slowly expanded his divine sense, enveloping the black spire and carefully analyzing its attributes.

This is a weapon of war armed to the extreme. Its surface is covered with a layer of black mist that is exactly the same as that of the Black Death Prison. It can have the same damage reduction effect as the Black Death Prison, greatly enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Black Spire.

Inside the tower, more than a thousand horned demons had gathered. Some of these demons operated strangely shaped cannons, some used searchlights on the top of the tower to scan the surroundings for any suspicious intruders, and others operated special equipment that Chu Xiu couldn't understand.

These horned demons are not just barbarians with strength, but an army with a highly developed civilization!

The massive warships overhead also reveal that, in addition to their individual strength, the technology of the extraterrestrial demon world surpasses that of humanity!
This is normal. After all, Earth is too young. Even if many geniuses emerge, it is difficult to completely surpass the accumulation of other worlds over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years!

"What's more troublesome is that this spire has brought together the power of these horned demons."

Under the sweep of divine sense, thin black lines extended from the long horns of each horned demon's body and merged into the black spire.

Energy was being transmitted through these thin threads. Although the battle had not yet begun, Chu Xiu already had a vague premonition that any attack on the black spire would be conducted through these threads, allowing the thousands of horned demons inside the tower to share the burden!
This made the spire, though only a temporary structure, an impregnable war fortress!

"The best method would be to infiltrate the spire and destroy it, but that is too difficult and probably impossible."

The technological sophistication of this black spire far exceeded Chu Xiu's expectations. The enemy would not ignore this weakness, and he felt that there must be other verification methods nearby. Continuing forward might actually lead to greater losses.

The plans of Green Princess and other demigods all involved launching a surprise attack from a distance of a thousand meters, which gives us a glimpse into their strategy.

Not to mention, Chu Xiu's stealth ability currently relies on the Qi Concealment Technique he cultivated when he was at the Mortal Rank, as well as the mind copying technique he used when he was at the General Rank, and is far from reaching the stealth level of a Heroic Spirit.

Just as Chu Xiu was pondering how to proceed, a series of explosions suddenly came from afar!
He immediately realized that a squad had already launched an attack.

Just then, beams of searchlight suddenly shot out from the top of the black spire, conducting a wide-ranging search of the surrounding area!

It seems that the distant attack alerted the camp here.

Chu Xiu quickly pressed Chen Yuan down and hid deeper into the area, completely concealing his aura at the same time.

The bright lights illuminated the dilapidated hotel in a reddish glow, but thankfully, after a while, they moved in other directions.

However, just as Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and was preparing to continue forward with Chen Yuan, a large area of ​​red light suddenly shone down from the alien warship above them!
The red light and the white light detected by the black spire intertwined, forming a dense network that swept back towards the location of the two people!

The spires and warships worked together to instantly improve the accuracy of reconnaissance!

Before Chu Xiu could react, Chen Yuan beside him suddenly glowed bright red as if she had been marked!

The girl was startled at first, then a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and without hesitation, she dashed out of the hotel!
"Brother Qin, my stealth skills are not good, and I can't let you be exposed as well. I'll go test the enemy's tactics first, and you can take the opportunity to find a chance!"

After transmitting her voice in a flash, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate any longer. With a sharp cry, she gripped the hilt of the knife with her right hand.

Draw the knife!

The next instant, a fierce, raging wave of sword light erupted from in front of him, directly slashing towards the black spire a thousand meters away!
Instantly, the spire emitted a strange sound as if steel was being twisted, and the surrounding mist writhed wildly, as if trying to prevent the blade light from entering!
But in the end, the fierce blade light still managed to cut through the mist, leaving several grooves on the tower. However, this scene did not bring Chen Yuan any joy; instead, the solemnity in her eyes deepened.

Her sword aura is an attack that is the result of the perfect combination of her talent, profession, supernatural power, and equipment. Even among heroic spirits, it is an extremely fierce one.

The power of these sword flashes was enough to cut down dozens of high-rise buildings on two streets in succession!
However, after being absorbed by the black mist, it only left a few marks on the pitch-black spire!
She could feel that the power of her skills was being absorbed by the horned demons throughout the tower. No matter how strong she was, how could she possibly kill thousands of horned demons at the same time?

But Chen Yuan did not back down at all. With a push of her feet, she shot towards the dark tower like an arrow!

Since the power of the blade light isn't enough, I'll rush closer and try again! If that's still not enough, I'll just charge straight into the black mist!

A distance of a kilometer is but a blink of an eye for a heroic spirit cultivator. She directly used brute force to create a vacuum passage in mid-air! All the air in that passage was briefly pushed outwards due to the extremely high speed!

However, just as Chen Yuan was about to reach the bottom of the spire, as if some mechanism had been triggered, a large amount of lightning suddenly surged from the depths of the earth!

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance. Just as he had expected, there were special arrangements near the spire, and the enemy would never allow anyone else to easily rush into the spire!

Unlike ordinary lightning, these bolts of lightning were eerily black, incredibly fast, and covered an extremely wide area, instantly forming a pitch-black lightning prison around the black spire!

Chen Yuan had no time to dodge and was enveloped by the lightning. The intense energy fluctuations also interfered with Chu Xiu's divine sense, making it impossible for him to see the situation inside. He could only feel that the power of the lightning was extremely strong, and even a powerful hero spirit might not be able to withstand it!
This startled Chu Xiu.

However, just as he was getting worried and preparing to make a move, a white light suddenly shone, and a violent blade of light slashed open a gap in the Thunder Prison. In the next instant, even more and denser blades of light surged out, actually cutting through the invisible lightning!
Chen Yuan's body was charred black, but her eyes were completely different from usual, revealing a frenzied bloodlust, as if some kind of instinct hidden deep within her had been awakened.

After letting out a beast-like roar, she fearlessly swung her sword at the increasingly dense lightning bolts ahead!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Her right hand was almost a blur, each swing unleashing a terrifying blade of light! These blades cleaved through the black mist, striking the tower repeatedly, causing the thick, black spire to shake violently.

Some of the horned demons inside the tower showed signs of pain and had wounds on their bodies. Clearly, they were also suffering from the burden of the power they were sharing. The horned demons who were in better condition quickly mobilized their strange cannons and weapons and aimed them at Chen Yuan!

"laugh!"

A bolt of lightning, as sharp as a dagger, shot out from the cannon muzzle and pierced Chen Yuan's abdomen!
However, the injury did not deter her in the slightest; the intense pain was as if it had released her from some kind of restraint!
Chen Yuan laughed loudly, completely ignoring the incoming attacks. She continued to swing her sword like a madman, each strike heavier and more ferocious than the last!

Chu Xiu watched this scene in shock from afar. He had been focused on the woman's powerful attack capabilities, but now he realized that her body was the truly terrifying part! It possessed an extremely powerful regenerative ability, almost like a demon!
Even more outrageous is that she can transform this damage into fighting spirit like a berserker! The more she fights, the fiercer and more ferocious she becomes!

Chu Xiu suddenly remembered that during his previous battle with this woman, it seemed that after he punched her, her attack strength had noticeably increased by a level.

At this moment, Chen Yuan had entered a state of frenzied battle! Under the intense stimulation of excitement, her brain was able to make more accurate judgments at a faster speed than usual! And her body, in this state, had completely broken free of its limitations, surpassing its limits!

Attacks pierced through her body, but she paid no heed, her eyes fixed on the distant tower, laughing wildly as she continued to swing her sword! Her face no longer bore the trace of the naive young girl she once was; only a thirst for battle and blood remained!

Under this frenzied attack, the dark spire swayed continuously, and it was actually about to be smashed to pieces by Chen Yuan!
But at that moment, a dark figure rushed out of the tower and arrived in front of Chen Yuan in an instant. The horn on its head emitted a bright golden light, and the figure seemed to be covered with a layer of steel. It punched Chen Yuan's sword light!
Chen Yuan snorted coldly and raised her sword to parry. This parry used a very exquisite skill, which greatly shifted the attacker's force in all directions. Previously, she had used this move to block Chu Xiu's heavy punch!

This time, the violent power within Chen Yuan was fully activated, more than doubling in strength compared to when she fought Chu Xiu! Upon colliding with Chu Xiu, Chen Yuan merely staggered back a few steps before coldly glaring at the attacker with eyes filled with murderous intent.

The newcomer was none other than the heroic spirit, Horned Demon, who guarded this place!
But seeing that the situation was not good, it finally chose to take the initiative to attack!
Although this attack did not cause Chen Yuan much damage, it interrupted her momentum. The spire in the distance, which had been breathing heavily, began to repair itself, and the surrounding black mist re-gathered!
"As a lower-class creature, your strength is indeed unexpected, but to challenge the glory of my lord with such strength is courting death!"

The Heroic Spirit Horned Demon snorted coldly, and its pointed horns once again shone with a rich spiritual light. But that wasn't all. At the same time, twelve King-level Horned Demons flew out from the spire, and strands of spiritual energy surged from their pointed horns, merging into the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon's long horns!
Just like when Chu Xiu was chasing the Extreme Dao before, these horned demons possess a certain ability to gather power!

Although the horned demon was putting on a brave front, he knew he was no match for Chen Yuan on his own, so he immediately called upon his well-trained personal guards.

With the assistance of twelve King-level beings, the power of the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon suddenly rose to a new level, and it charged wildly towards Chen Yuan!

Meanwhile, the horned demon soldiers on the tower also joined the attack!

"laugh!"

Chen Yuan couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the calf by the black lightning from the energy cannon. At the same time, the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon's heavy fist came crashing down from above!

"boom!"

She was slammed into the ground, and the huge impact created a large crater in the spot!
Although she managed to parry with her knife, Chen Yuan still managed to withstand the blow, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, indicating that her internal organs had been damaged.

The Horned Demon of Heroes let out a triumphant laugh, and the horns on its head once again gathered spiritual light.

"Death!"

However, Chen Yuan, who had nowhere to retreat, did not show any fear. Instead, a faint sneer appeared on her lips.

For some reason, this smile gave the horned demon a very ominous feeling.

Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he turned his head sharply!

Suddenly, a figure wielding a giant sword hovered silently above everyone's heads, its indifferent gaze lowered as it slowly raised the giant sword towards the spire below.

The next instant, it was as if the ocean had poured down from the dome! An unbelievable, immense power poured down without reservation!
