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

Chapter 316 Demigod Body
"cooperate?"

Ella raised an eyebrow, her expression relaxing considerably: "So you've made up your mind to escape?"

"More or less," Chu Xiu said noncommittally.

He simply raised his hand and waved it, and in the next instant, a colossal creature suddenly appeared beside the two of them!

It was a giant golden bird with a strange round bead embedded in its head, and its golden pupils exuded an indescribable majesty.

Ella exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."

“This is my summoned creature,” Chu Xiu said.

The object he summoned was, of course, the corpse of Garuda!
Since Chu Xiu killed over a hundred horned demons two days ago, all of their corpses have been used by him in the refining of the Garuda flying corpse!
To refine a King-level flying corpse, the blood and flesh energy of a hundred General-level beings is more than enough. However, considering that Garuda is extremely close to a Heroic Spirit and possesses some divine power, it would probably require close to two hundred General-level beings to refine it to perfection.

Even so, the energy of hundreds of horned demons is enough to complete the initial refining process; the only thing to consider is the time involved.

At this moment, Chu Xiu was no longer a minor ferocious-level being in the Corpse Demon World, but a powerful being whose attributes surpassed those of ordinary heroic spirits! The speed of his refining had increased more than tenfold.
Although he didn't focus on refining because his main body needed to cultivate, with Chu Xiu's current strength, even if he only diverted a little of his attention to activate [Perfect Refinement], he could still achieve very good results.

Not to mention, after he finished refining the [Heavy Sword Chiwen], he had several hours of spare time, which he used entirely to refine this flying corpse.

This means that the refining of the Flying Corpse is now more than half complete!

The last bit of work was still left to finish. Chu Xiu estimated that with his full power in the [Perfect Refining] technique, he could complete it in two or three hours at most.

"This is my latest summoned creature, which is not yet fully completed. Once it is fully completed, it will definitely possess speed that surpasses that of ordinary heroic spirits!"

"You can move in the shadow space, so your understanding of space and your own flexibility go without saying. However, in terms of absolute speed, I'm afraid you're still a little lacking," Chu Xiu said.

He was telling the truth. Although Ella was extremely agile, in terms of absolute speed, she was probably not as fast as Chen Yuan.

Ella frowned at Chu Xiu's words and said, "So you mean..."

“Let’s cooperate,” Chu Xiu said. “I’ll give you this summoned creature, and you help me transport a few people out.”

Chu Xiu frankly stated his plans!

He didn't intend to run away, but he wanted to use Ella to get his parents out first!

In this way, he can fight without any worries. For him, this dangerous Black Death Prison will become a place to fight monsters and level up, where he can gain opportunities!
Faced with Chu Xiu's suggestion, Ella did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked Garuda up and down and said, "The energy on this bird-beast is indeed enormous, but it is still only at the King level."

“Even if a king-level creature has a special talent in speed, it is already extremely difficult for it to catch up with an ordinary heroic spirit. I don’t need to carry such a huge burden for the sake of this little improvement.”

Chu Xiu seemed to have anticipated Ella's doubts, and with a flick of his wrist, a pair of enormous golden wings appeared in front of him: "What if we add this?"

The moment the golden wings appeared, Ella's pupils contracted slightly. She recognized the item; it was the equipment Chu Xiu had always worn on his back during battle! It possessed the ability to tear through space!
She took the Garuda Wings, carefully examined its data attributes, and suddenly revealed a knowing expression.

"You got this equipment from that giant bird?"

Chu Xiu nodded: "I might as well tell you that this summoned creature is a corpse that I resurrected using special methods, and because this equipment comes from the same source, it can be perfectly integrated into this corpse."

"Furthermore, among the people I need you to transport on this trip, there is one who possesses numerous auxiliary secret techniques."

"The combination of these three factors is enough to make this summoned creature's speed reach an astonishing level, far exceeding that of ordinary heroic spirits!"

What Chu Xiu was referring to was naturally the Blood Demon Incarnation.

It possesses a powerful Blood Demon enhancement skill, which allows even a general-level flying corpse to unleash a speed surpassing that of a king-level corpse when it is in Peach Blossom Spring, let alone a flying corpse refined by Garuda!
With this guy around, even if we fail to break into the Black Death Prison in the end, protecting our parents and returning shouldn't be too difficult.

As for losing the Garuda Wings, while it would certainly reduce Chu Xiu's agility, given his current terrifying physique of 40,000, the loss wouldn't be that great.

The Garuda Wings are primarily strong in long-distance straight-line flight. In urban ground combat, Chu Xiu's powerful physique is more than enough to handle it.

Chu Xiu's words once again plunged Ella into deep thought.

After a long pause, she finally nodded and said, "If your summoned creatures are truly as powerful as you say, then I don't mind cooperating with you."

After a pause, as if remembering something, she added, "There's one more thing that Chen Yuan needs you to handle."

Chu Xiu didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching an agreement.

Next, Ella went to prepare items to increase the success rate of the evacuation, while Chu Xiu did not rush to leave. He just looked at the horned demon army in the distance with a thoughtful expression.

From an insurance perspective, he should have left with Ella. After all, staying here, even if his life wasn't in danger, could consume the extremely valuable [Deep Diving Safety Rope]. From any perspective, it was an action where the risk far outweighed the benefit.

But Chu Xiu ultimately chose to stay, not because he had any patriotic sentiments, but because...
war!

After learning the inside story of the extraterrestrial invasion, his judgment was the same as Huang Anhua and others: the other side would definitely not wait any longer, but would launch a large-scale attack!
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves?
If the government has truly made contact with the outside world, it would be impossible to save the Black Death Prison with the mobility of a demigod-level powerhouse.

Only by launching a large-scale, all-out war, overwhelming the government, can their actions be stopped!
"And demonic cultivators, they love war the most."

Those dead bodies and souls are the perfect nourishment for the growth of demonic cultivators!

His monster army will grow and evolve rapidly in the war!
In just one previous battle, he killed over a thousand generals and kings, as well as a heroic spirit!
Compared to ordinary abyss exploration, the current world of ghouls is already a world with a high density of high-level monsters. However, with the blood demons hiding and not showing themselves, the entire camp has only encountered two or three king-level monsters after exploring the surrounding area for more than a year. Even if we include the ones killed by Asura, the number would not exceed double digits!
The difference is too great.

If Chu Xiu misses this opportunity, he will likely never encounter a scene with such a dense concentration of high-level creatures again.

For him, this was an excellent opportunity to inherit the supreme demon lord's legacy and cultivate to the level of a heroic spirit!
Having made up his mind, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated and began to consider his action plan.

"To turn this danger into an opportunity, I need to prepare more trump cards."

After thinking for a while, he returned to the command hall and went to find Huang Anhua.

"Senior, I have a request."

When Huang Anhua saw that it was Chu Xiu, a look of surprise appeared on his square face. But when he found out what Xiu wanted, his surprise turned into shock.

"You said you wanted the corpse of that demigod horned demon?"

"Yes." "What do you need this for? Are you some kind of corpse-driving professional?"

Chu Xiu frankly replied, "I do indeed possess such a prop."

That's right, this is the fastest way he could improve his strength after thinking it over! It's to create a corpse using a demigod's body as material!

His lineage of the Supreme Demon Lord still has an ultimate inheritance, the [Purgatory Demon Corpse], which he hasn't had the chance to cultivate yet!

This is a legacy on par with [Demonic Qi Condensation Weapon]! It's incredibly powerful!

If he could successfully refine the [Hellfire Corpse] with his demigod body, even if he only managed to refine a half-finished product, its power would be enough for Chu Xiu to look forward to.

On the other side, Huang Anhua's eyes showed even greater shock upon hearing Chu Xiu's admission.

He understood Chu Xiu less and less.

At first, he only regarded Chu Xiu as an ordinary heroic spirit who had returned from overseas. In fact, it was highly likely that this identity was an imposter. Otherwise, how could a king-level being suddenly become a heroic spirit?
It wasn't just him; in fact, most people had their suspicions, but everyone tacitly kept quiet and no one exposed it, since having multiple identities was all too common among high-level awakened individuals.

Everyone only cared about Chu Xiu's value, such as his potential weapon-refining ability.

As for Huang Anhua, as long as Chu Xiu doesn't cause trouble, he, as the director of the regulatory bureau, won't keep an eye on him. In his mind, Chu Xiu is just an ordinary heroic spirit.

Even after hearing Jiang Lingfu and Shenwei Daoren mention it many times, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he first met Chu Xiu, the other party completely exceeded his expectations.

Both Ella and Chen Yuan are "elite heroic spirits" under special attention from the regulatory bureau, possessing strength beyond that of ordinary heroic spirits.

However, even though the two of them were fighting against one, they were still suppressed by Chu Xiu!
Of course, if it were just this one battle, it could be said that neither side used their full strength. But Chu Xiu's destruction of the black spire made him fully realize the terrifying strength of this person! He is definitely a top-tier heroic spirit who is extremely close to a demigod!

Despite possessing such exaggerated physical strength, Chu Xiu even demonstrated the ability to manipulate corpses!
"Corpse driving, weapon forging, plus this monstrous physical strength, what the hell kind of profession is this guy? I've never heard of any heroic spirit similar to him. Could he be some hidden demigod?" Huang Anhua muttered to himself.

After pondering for a long time, he looked at Chu Xiu and said, "The corpse of a demigod is priceless, and I cannot make the decision."

"All I can do is try to contact the demigod who killed this horned demon."

"Whether that person is willing to see you or will give you the body is none of my business."

Chu Xiu naturally had no objection to this and readily agreed.

Not long after, he received good news: the other party was willing to meet him.

This was also within Chu Xiu's expectations. Although the demigod's body was priceless, it could not be quickly converted into combat power in the current situation in Pengcheng. If it could be exchanged for something like causal points, the demigod powerhouse would probably not refuse.

Soon, Chu Xiu followed Huang Anhua to a room.

Chu Xiu instinctively extended his divine sense, only to find that he had encountered a barrier, making it impossible for him to see what was happening inside the room.

He knew that the other party did not want to see him, so he wisely withdrew his divine sense.

"I heard from Director Huang that someone wants the demigod horned demon that I have."

At that moment, a mature woman's voice came from inside the room.

Chu Xiu found the name somewhat familiar, and without much thought, he clasped his hands and said, "Senior, I have a special tool that can control corpses. With the great battle imminent, I would like to exchange this horned demon corpse with you. What do you think?"

He currently possesses over 1.5 million karma points, along with rare items such as fixed anchor points, giving Chu Xiu a significant chance of persuading the other party.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a soft "Eh" was heard from inside the room, followed by a faint laugh: "Oh, it's you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was taken aback, but then immediately realized what was happening!
The sounds coming from this room are exactly the same as those from the auction where he competed with the man who gave him the divine meteorite, who was also Chen Yuan's master!
Sure enough, a mocking laugh rang out in the room the next moment: "You were quite arrogant before. If you had given me that divine meteorite iron back then, I might have given you a mere corpse for free."

The woman's words made Chu Xiu secretly groan. He hadn't expected this senior to hold a grudge so much. He could only cup his hands and smile bitterly, "Senior is joking. A demigod's body is worth at least two or three million karma points. How could I give it away so easily?"

"I was blind before, please forgive me, senior."

Chu Xiu decisively chose to back down. Anyway, he didn't care about that; the benefits that could be pocketed were what really mattered.

Unfortunately, the woman inside the room didn't seem to be buying his act, and continued to laugh, "So you're planning to spend two or three million karma points to buy this corpse?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "This junior does not have that many causal points."

"Then what did you say?"

"What I'm saying is that this corpse is worth so many cause and effect points in the 'outside world,' but right now, with the Horned Demons besieging the city, prices have naturally changed a lot."

The woman inside the room scoffed, "Do you think I'm like you? This Black Death Prison can't hold me. You think you can take advantage of my misfortune? I advise you to give up on that idea."

After he finished speaking, Chu Xiu fell silent.

His intuition sensed a powerful confidence emanating from the woman. This confidence was not mere boasting, but rather a genuine belief that she had a way to escape the Black Death Prison. Her words even contained a hint of disdain.

Other demigods, such as Huang Anhua, have never been so confident. In addition, this woman was able to kill a demigod, so her strength must indeed be extremely strong.

However, this means that he will most likely not be able to obtain the corpse at a low price.

Having figured this out, Chu Xiu sighed softly and helplessly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It is this junior who has disturbed you. I hope the senior will not take offense."

Having said that, he turned and left without wasting any more time.

But just then, a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Wait a minute."

Chu Xiu paused, turned around, and saw a phantom golden eye staring at him through the door.
