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

Chapter 325 Five Million Karma Points
Huang Anhua's words made everyone's expressions solemn, realizing that this was the final battle.

Next, after a detailed action plan was laid out and a large amount of supplies were distributed, the group of heroic spirits walked out of the conference room one after another.

"Brother Qin, what do you think our chances of success are?"

As everyone left the conference room, Chen Yuan asked Chu Xiu with a worried expression.

Having fought so many tough battles alongside Chu Xiu, the young girl has now naturally begun to address him as "Big Brother." Chu Xiu can even sense that, in their current situation, she has come to rely on him in some way.

That's normal. Chen Yuan has too little experience. It's already quite remarkable that she hasn't broken down under such high pressure.

But after hesitating for a moment, Chu Xiu still sighed truthfully, "It's almost equal to zero."

"Huh?" The little girl looked surprised. "How could that be? All we need to do is find the right moment and strike that 'point,' right?"

"With so many powerful individuals, surely one of them can break through the enemy's defenses!"

Chu Xiu looked at Chen Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There's something Director Huang didn't mention. In fact, all of the government's plans are based on one premise."

"What premise?"

"That means the extraterrestrial demons won't leave their own planet to take action themselves."

Chu Xiu calmly looked at Chen Yuan: "If that extraterrestrial demon were willing to take any risk, we would be killed without any resistance. Even if we were extremely lucky enough to break through the Black Death Prison before that, it would be of no use."

These words caused Chen Yuan to show a look of surprise and uncertainty. She looked at the other heroic spirits beside her, but the others seemed to have expected this, and their expressions did not change much.

Jiang Lingfu, however, chuckled and said with a good attitude, "It's already quite good that we still have a sliver of hope in the face of an existence of this level."

Chu Xiu glanced at her and asked, "What, are you afraid of dying?"

"Of course not!" Chen Yuan raised her voice, but then lowered it again. "It's just that if we fail, then the others will definitely not survive either, right? There are more than ten million people in that group."

She sighed, "Besides, if everyone dies, who will remember that I fought bravely? What if my master thinks I was a coward who ran away and died a pathetic death?"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads with amusement. At this point, this was the thing they were most worried about.

After a while, Chen Yuan said somewhat unwillingly, "Didn't they say that a Heavenly King has already come outside? If we can break through the Black Death Prison before the extraterrestrial demons can react, it won't matter if it descends, right?"

"Who knows? I think the government released this news just to deter the extraterrestrial demons from leaving the planet and descending easily, as a kind of blackmail?" Jiang Lingfu chuckled. "Didn't you notice that the extraterrestrial demons have already peered into Pengcheng through the rift twice before? This is obviously to observe the strong people in the city and assess the risks."

"Since we don't have any cards in our hand, we naturally have to be more aggressive, right?"

"Besides, kings don't meet, so if only one Heavenly King comes, he's probably no match for the extraterrestrial demons," another Heroic Spirit added.

"At a time like this, do the Heavenly Kings still have to be wary of each other?" Chen Yuan frowned.

“Who knows,” one of the heroic spirits shrugged. “After all, consuming the resources of other Heavenly Kings increases the chances of becoming a god, and once you become a god, the extraterrestrial demons are nothing to worry about.”

"No extraterrestrial demon dares to invade a civilization with a god in charge."

"What is a mere city compared to the divine authority?"

After he finished speaking, many of the heroic spirits nodded in agreement.

Chen Yuan muttered to herself, "Not all Heavenly Kings are this cold-blooded and ruthless, are they?"

Jiang Lingfu chuckled: "Little girl, if you had experienced the war between the original King and the other Heavenly Kings, you wouldn't have such a naive idea."

Chen Yuan remained silent, and the others, preoccupied with their own thoughts, dispersed after exchanging greetings, preparing to maximize their strength by expending the government's allocated resources at the last moment.

Although the group was not optimistic about the outcome of the battle, they were not going to give up.

Chu Xiu was no exception.

Although he has a [deep-diving safety rope], his parents are currently trapped in the [dead zone], so no matter how small the chance of success is, he must give it his all!
With a swift movement, Chu Xiu arrived at a deserted place. With a flick of his wrist, a large cluster of causal points appeared in his hand.

Having killed so many horned demons, his total karma points had reached 4.2 million.

Among the items the government just gave Chu Xiu were 930,000 Karma Points, a King-rank Legendary item, two Heroic Spirit Supreme items, and several powerful offensive items.

Although it was far inferior to the talisman that Shenwei Daoren gave to Chu Xiu, it could still unleash an attack equivalent to that of a Heroic Spirit.

These are the legacies left behind by the fallen heroes.

Now, Chu Xiu intends to use these to maximize his strength!
Without further hesitation, a faint spiritual light emanated from Chu Xiu's hand.

"add a bit!"

In an instant, a massive amount of causal points transformed into the profound power of cause and effect, surging wildly into Chu Xiu's body!

The government's offensive plan was to first form an attack force composed of unsuspecting heroic spirits and kings to storm the Black Death Pillar and tie down the enemy's forces.

Next, with the demigods as the main force and the fifteen heroic spirits including Chu Xiu as support, they launched a surprise attack on the enemy's defenses!

Once the defense line is breached, everyone attacks from different directions!
The energy peak of a nuclear explosion lasts only a fraction of a second, but considering the impact of the explosion and the reaction time of the black fog, the time left for everyone is roughly two to three seconds.

It's still extremely short! But for powerful heroic spirits, this time is enough to accomplish a great deal.

If even one of them can break through, they can breach the Black Death Prison!

"So what I need now is strength and speed!"

The one that can perfectly achieve this is naturally the "Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body" which improves basic attributes!
Without further hesitation, a massive amount of causal points burned rapidly. Chu Xiu seemed to have been thrown into another illusory, non-existent space. In that space, time passed at a speed of millions of times, and Chu Xiu cultivated tirelessly in that space!

Even though that space doesn't exist in this universe, Chu Xiu's body and soul are still changing in sync. At the same time, a large number of instincts and memories flood into his mind, reshaping his body!
[Consuming 3605189 Karma Points, I have successfully cultivated to the eighth level of the "Great Freedom Demon Body - Foundation"]

[The Eighth Heaven of the Great Freedom Demon Body - Basic: Constitution +27968, Overall Defense +6580, Life Recovery Speed ​​+520%, Enhanced Traits "Spiritual Perception" and "Divine and Demonic Power".] Chu Xiu opened his eyes, feeling an unparalleled power surging from every corner of his body.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body of the eighth heaven caused his physique to surge by nearly 10,000!

Furthermore, the body's defense and recovery speed have increased further, and the reserves of divine and demonic power have almost doubled!

Now, Chu Xiu's physique has reached a full 50,000!
And that's not all!
With a flick of his wrist, three more pieces of equipment appeared in front of him.

This time, the government issued him a King-tier Legendary item and two Heroic Spirit Supreme items.

These equipment were selected and distributed from the legacies of fallen heroes.

Most of the heroic spirits already have their own main battle equipment, so they will prioritize choosing equipment with strong functionality, which is a good deal for Chu Xiu.

Of these three pieces of equipment, the King-rank Legendary item is a glove that can amplify spellcasting power and can be equipped directly. The remaining two are a halberd and a suit of armor! All of them contain extremely powerful energy!
Including the five-colored feather robe that Chu Xiu had obtained before, he now had three very suitable pieces of equipment!
Without further hesitation, Chu Xiu decisively began the next stage of cultivation of the "Myriad Weapons Return to the Source Technique"!

In an instant, the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Furnace beside him expanded in size, swallowing Chu Xiu whole, while the Ten Directions Netherfire Array beneath him spewed out blazing Netherfire!

The three pieces of equipment rose up together and fused towards Chu Xiu's remaining three internal organs!

The moment the fusion began, the two pieces of equipment within the two already fused internal organs emitted rays of repulsive light, seemingly resisting the fusion of the new equipment.

Even the equipment in their limbs began to stir, though not as violently.

With each piece of equipment fused, the difficulty of the fusion increases exponentially! Chu Xiu could clearly feel tearing pain coming from every part of his body.

Fortunately, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body, which he had cultivated to the eighth level, granted him terrifying vitality. Under the influence of this vitality, Chu Xiu had a great deal of leeway.

"It is also recorded in the inheritance that if you want to cultivate the 'Return of All Treasures to the Source Technique', you often have to cultivate another technique to enhance your physique and vitality. Or some geniuses with special physiques can only suppress the body's rejection of magic treasures for a short time with strong vitality and eventually integrate the magic treasures into their own bodies."

From this perspective, these two techniques can complement each other.

However, both of these inheritances require a lot of time, which is why cultivators in the past did not cultivate both at the same time, but instead chose some simpler and easier-to-learn body-refining techniques.

As more causal points were continuously invested, the three magical treasures gradually and safely merged into Chu Xiu's body.

[372562 Karma Points consumed; the Heavenly Jade Axe fusion complete!]

[486251 Karma Points consumed; the Five-Colored Flying Immortal Feather Robe fusion complete!]

[Consuming 638325 Karma Points, the Earth Titan Armor fusion is complete!]

Just before all the causal points were about to run out, Chu Xiu finally integrated all three pieces of equipment!

He could feel that his five internal organs were as if they had been equipped with motors, constantly spewing out surging life force!

The increase in basic physique and physical strength goes without saying; although not as terrifying as the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body, it still provides an increase of three to four thousand.

In addition, just as he had expected, after the refinement of all five organs was completed, a complete cycle was formed among the five pieces of equipment!
[Five Organs Resonance: The equipment residing in your five organs has resonated in a certain way, greatly increasing the total amount of magical artifact essence you can store and the speed at which magical artifact essence is generated. Furthermore, you can temporarily release a large amount of life force when injured.]

Chu Xiu could feel that after the complete cycle, the source of the magic treasure in his body suddenly increased to five times its previous level!
With the further enhancement of divine and demonic power, the power of his Chiwen Heavy Sword will now reach an unbelievable level!

If he were to face that demigod general again now, Chu Xiu was confident that he could at least withstand one of his attacks!
Although it may still be slightly inferior, at least it won't be knocked away like before.

Furthermore, the optimization of the essence of numerous magical artifacts will make Chiwen capable of withstanding confrontations with demigods.

Now that he has become rich in magical treasure essence, he can even luxuriously inject it into both the Chiwen and the Huangji Five Dragon Crown, two mythical equipment, to achieve the strongest killing state!
"A king-level being able to withstand a demigod is truly worthy of being a top-tier inheritance of demonic cultivation."

Chu Xiu sighed. Even if he told others about this absurd story, he would only be ridiculed. No one would believe such an outrageous thing.

Let alone a King-level being able to withstand a demigod, even withstanding a Heroic Spirit is something only a very few of the most outstanding geniuses can do.

"However, it's still not enough."

With a soft sigh, Chu Xiu looked up outside.

In the distance, above the eight Black Death Pillars, a protective light barrier had appeared, covering the entire central area of ​​the Black Death Pillars. At the center of the barrier, more than fifty horned demon spirits were continuously supplying magic power to maintain its circulation.

The defense set up by fifty heroic spirits is undoubtedly something that only demigod-level power could break through!

The Horned Demons, of course, would not give humans such an easy opportunity. Near the light barrier, four of the strongest demigod warriors were personally guarding it.

These four are far beyond the demigods who have fought Chu Xiu; each of them is a powerful demigod with the same level of power as Shenwei Daoren!

At the same time, each of the eight Black Death Pillars is guarded by a demigod. The distance between them is so short that it can be covered in the blink of an eye, allowing them to support each other at any time.

Furthermore, in the area between the light barrier and the black death pillar, there are more than two hundred heroic horned demons patrolling around the clock!
Meanwhile, the other horned demon forces were not idle either. They deployed a large number of troops for monitoring, early warning, and interception in the outer and inner areas of the Black Death Pillar. It can be said that breaking through this first barrier alone is a huge test.

Not to mention, there were also a large number of horned demon technology devices that Chu Xiu had no idea what they were used for, but it goes without saying that these things, like the black spire, had endless uses.

Despite Chu Xiu's already formidable strength, it was still far from enough against this flawless layer of defense!

Chu Xiu's previous answer to Chen Yuan was indeed correct; even without considering the interference of the extraterrestrial demons, the chances of success were extremely low.

The only chance of victory lies in the diversity of those who awaken.

If our demigods possess certain special items or supernatural powers, with proper coordination, they may have the opportunity to launch a surprise attack that allows them to overcome a stronger opponent.

"I can also take advantage of the enemy's underestimation of me to achieve a surprise effect."

Chu Xiu thought to himself silently.

He let out a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it. After using a rare recovery item issued by the government to restore his condition, he wasted no time and continued to refine the soul banner and the corpse as quickly as possible.
