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

Chapter 329 Rushing into the formation
"Boom!"

The boundless energy surged unrestrainedly, changing the color of the entire world, like a massive thunderstorm!

The three horned demons in the lead were instantly engulfed by the unparalleled sword energy. Even though they tried their best to resist, the barrier they formed around them shattered in the first instant. Their powerful heroic spirit bodies were as fragile as straw in front of that sword energy, and they were shredded into flesh and blood in less than a second!
The heroic spirits behind them, though not subjected to the most violent sword energy, were still sent flying backward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood!

With the power of a single sword strike, three heroic spirits were killed, three were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured!

Everyone looked up in shock.

"This is... a demigod?!"

The horned demon generals' expressions changed drastically, while the human side seemed to see hope again!
However, this flame of hope was extremely weak, flickering like a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment.

The reason is simple: although Chu Xiu's sword strike was at the level of a demigod, it was still not enough!
Even after killing three and seriously injuring three, there were still twenty-four heroic spirits standing in front of him!

These twenty-four heroic spirits are no longer in a state where the blue-haired demigod suffered a backlash during his previous attack and was unable to mobilize his magic. Now that they can use their skills, even if that demigod were to come again, he might not be able to break through the defenses of these twenty-four heroic spirits in a short time!
Meanwhile, all the horned demons in the vicinity were rushing towards this place at top speed! A large number of horned demons had followed along in order to intercept the blue-haired demigod, and among these horned demons were many heroic spirits!

Chu Xiu's performance has exceeded everyone's expectations, but no matter how much confidence they have in him, no one believes that he can penetrate so many horned demons' defenses in such a short time!
At that moment, a loud explosion suddenly rang out in the air, and a figure rapidly approached Chu Xiu—it was a Horned Demon Warrior!
However, after Shenwei Daoren gradually became overwhelmed, in order to prevent any accidents, one of the two generals who were besieging Shenwei Daoren was sent to provide support!

This scene shattered the hopes that had been held by everyone, leaving them utterly hopeless.

However, Chu Xiu's expression did not change at all when faced with the horned demons rushing towards him from all directions, as if everything was within his expectations.

Suddenly, a burly figure engulfed in flames appeared behind him without warning!
The next instant, a strange wave spread rapidly from the figure's body outwards, forming a dark red domain centered on the figure and encompassing a radius of one kilometer in the blink of an eye!
Hellfire!

After being strengthened over the past few days, the Hellfire Corpse is now barely able to activate this top-tier divine power again!
The moment the domain took shape, all the horned demons within it were engulfed in eerie flames of sin!
Screams rang out as nearby general-rank horned demons fell like raindrops. As the king-rank horned demon roared and charged toward Chu Xiu, it gradually turned into a burning fireball. Before it could even touch him, its flesh began to melt, emitting a shrill wail!
Only heroic spirits could barely withstand it.

just
"The fire of sin is a flame ignited by life itself, and it cannot be extinguished."

A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's lips.

The Infernal Fire is extremely powerful, even excessively so in some respects!

A wide-range area-of-effect attack that ignores the number of enemies without any reduction in damage – it's practically a god-tier skill for team battles!

However, the drawbacks are equally obvious.

First of all, compared to the [Demigod] rank, the scope is simply too small! Secondly, the Purgatory Demon Corpse itself only has sufficient physique and defense, but its overall combat power is inferior to that of a [Demigod].

After all, it is a resurrected corpse, so it is naturally impossible for it to withstand a being of the same level.

Moreover, the Hellfire Corpse is far from being fully refined and has not yet reached the power of a demigod.

Therefore, the correct way to deal with the Hellfire Corpse is to either withdraw from the domain immediately, since fighting it within the enemy's domain is extremely foolish, even if it's not the Hellfire of Sin.

Alternatively, concentrate your efforts and directly destroy the main body of the Hellfire Corpse.

However, now is the perfect opportunity for the Hellfire Corpse to exert its power!
In order to protect the core anchor point, the twenty-seven heroic spirits dared not move at all, and could only stand in front of Chu Xiu, letting the sinful fire burn them!
In this situation, the three heroic spirits who had been seriously injured earlier could not hold on any longer. The barrier was burned through, and the flames began to scorch their bodies. The intense pain made them scream in agony!

This scene stunned everyone below; they had never seen such a bizarre skill before! This terrifying attack ability, which had no diminishing effect on a group, was, in some ways, even more sophisticated than the divine powers of the demigods!
"But that's not enough!"

All the demigods had solemn expressions. Although Chu Xiu's supernatural powers were very strong, time was not on their side!
With only one and a half seconds left in the high-energy period after the nuclear impact, even if Chu Xiu could unleash an attack comparable to that of a demigod, he could only extend that time to two seconds at most!

These heroic spirits managed to hold on for two seconds!
Not to mention that at that very moment, the horned demon general roared and charged into the Hellfire of Sin!
The same flames of sin ignited on him, but for a demigod, this level of burning was easily withstood!

Coincidentally, this warrior was the same demigod horned demon that had fought against Chu Xiu!

"I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Although I don't know how you dodged that attack, trying to sabotage my lord's conquest is suicidal!"

A powerful will reverberated in the air as the warrior, wielding a two-meter-long heavy slashing sword, charged towards Chu Xiu like a cannonball accelerated to its maximum speed, carrying terrifying force!
Before this strike, even space itself seemed to be distorted!
However, Chu Xiu remained fearless. He simply gripped the heavy sword Chiwen with both hands, as if he had prepared in advance. The power of gods and demons and the essence of magic weapons surged into him, instantly stimulating the power within his body to the extreme, and slashing towards the enemy general!

A head-on confrontation with a demigod!

The moment the swords clashed, it was as if an atomic bomb had been detonated in the air, instantly unleashing intense light and heat. The raging energy that intertwined in the air illuminated the entire sky above Pengcheng as if it were daytime!
"boom!"

A huge shockwave rose in mid-air, like a category 18 typhoon, roaring in all directions. Nearby horned demons were swept away like fallen leaves. When the light and heat dissipated, a scene that made everyone's eyes widen occurred.

It wasn't Chu Xiu who was sent flying backwards, but that Horned Demon General!

At this moment, its heavy armor was covered with cracks, and its ferocious face was filled with shock, anger and disbelief!

"You were hiding your strength before?!" Although it didn't unleash its strongest attack in order to rush over at top speed, Chu Xiu had already accumulated his power and was waiting for it in place.

Even so, it cannot accept this result!

It's a demigod!

Moreover, this power was obtained only after submitting to the demons from beyond the realm and being stripped of all free will! If this power can be easily defeated by a heroic spirit, then what was the point of its submission for hundreds of years?
Jealousy towards Chu Xiu and anger at being deceived caused it to roar in extreme rage. Violent spiritual energy surged around it, forcibly stopping its retreat and charging towards Chu Xiu once again!

"die!"

The Horned Demon General roared! He would take advantage of Chu Xiu's moment of respite to kill him!

He had already seen through Chu Xiu's attack just now. Although Chu Xiu was strong, he was indeed a heroic spirit, not a demigod! Although he had suffered a small loss, he couldn't possibly recover as quickly as Chu Xiu!

And that was indeed the case. Although Chu Xiu was able to unleash his strongest sword strike, both the mobilization of divine and demonic power and the essence of the magic weapon required time. Now that the sword strike had just been unleashed, its power would be greatly reduced if he were to fight again. In fact, due to insufficient reinforcement of the magic weapon's essence, the Chiwen might not be able to withstand the impact and develop cracks, just like before.

Chu Xiu is not a demigod after all; he can only barely match him in terms of instantaneous output!
However, he remained calm and composed, as if even the enraged Horned Demon General was within his calculations!
He simply stepped aside, and at the same moment, the infernal corpse behind him swung out a grappling hook!
At this moment, the horned demon general was already extremely close, and all his attention had been focused on Chu Xiu. He had not expected that the strange creature behind him would not only be able to create such a monstrous domain, but also launch an attack! By the time he realized it, the grappling hook was already in front of him!
But how fast was the demigod's reaction?
It simply tilted its heavy sword to block the attack.

But to its surprise, at the moment of contact, the hook was not bounced off, but instead seemed to have a life of its own and directly wrapped around his heavy sword!

The next instant, it felt the sinful fire burning on its body suddenly rise up as if it had received some kind of nourishment!

Chu Xiu glanced calmly at the demigod horned demon burning in the raging flames of sin, then ignored it and rushed towards the remaining core without hesitation!
The two had been locked in combat for half a second, and he didn't have much time left!
Seeing that it was being ignored, the horned demon general was even more furious. However, at this moment, the infernal demon corpse stood in front of it.

"Go away!"

The Horned Demon General unleashed a furious punch, but to its surprise, the Infernal Corpse also fearlessly countered with its own punch! When the two collided, the Horned Demon General felt as if it had struck a block of iron condensed to its extreme, and although the opponent's strength was not as great as its own, it was not overwhelming either!
Furthermore, the strange hook seemed to have the effect of absorbing its own power to amplify its own body. With the power of one increasing and the other decreasing, the two collided, and the opponent actually took the hit!
This shocked and enraged him!
Although this strange creature was certainly no match for him, it would still take some effort to deal with it, which caused him to completely miss the opportunity to pursue Chu Xiu!
Chu Xiu's previous fierce battle with it was precisely to catch it off guard and bind it with the hooks, thus briefly freeing it from his interference!

The moment this thought arose, the anger in the Horned Demon General's heart suddenly dissipated for some reason, replaced by a chill that was hard to describe.

At this moment, Chu Xiu, who had completely gotten rid of the Horned Demon Warrior, was only left with the twenty-four Horned Demons blocking his way as the last obstacle to the core!

By the time he reached the twenty-four horned demons, there was less than a second left!
Although being burned in the sinful fire for a second caused the condition of these twenty-four horned demons to decline, especially the eight horned demons that had already suffered minor injuries, their condition was less than half of their peak, but they were still twenty-four heroic spirits!
Chu Xiu's performance today has exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again, but now, does Chu Xiu still have any trump cards left?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chu Xiu's speed did not decrease at all, and he charged straight into the midst of the twenty-four heroic spirits!
Upon witnessing Chu Xiu's power, the horned demons did not slacken their efforts in the slightest. Almost simultaneously, they unleashed their strongest combat power, pouring out destructive magic that had been condensed to its limit towards Chu Xiu!

Faced with the attack of these twenty-four heroic spirits, the [Imperial Five Dragon Crown] on Chu Xiu's head shone brightly, forming a solid shield around him!

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly used the power of gods and demons and the essence of magic weapons to strengthen this mythical equipment!

Even so, the shield of the Imperial Five Dragon Crown only lasted for a moment before being swallowed up by the enormous energy!
"Boom!!!"

Chu Xiu was completely submerged in the torrent of energy, which made the spectators below show worried expressions. Some of them with poor mental fortitude didn't even dare to watch!

However, in the next second, Chu Xiu's figure rushed out of the raging energy!
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

At this moment, Chu Xiu's Xuan Sha Glazed Armor was almost completely shattered, and the Golden Scale Armor inside was also torn to pieces. The five true dragons on his head, the Imperial Five Dragon Crown, had all dimmed, as if they had exhausted all their energy!
Chu Xiu himself was covered in injuries!

Strangely, no blood flowed from his wounds; instead, a strange magical aura circulated within them, as if his body were not made of flesh and blood, but rather an indestructible magical artifact!

Under the astonished and delighted gazes of the crowd, Chu Xiu charged into the center of the twenty-four heroic spirits and horned demons. Then, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times in his mind, he suddenly waved a small banner!
In the next instant, countless ghosts surged out!

In an instant, the ghosts, like roaring waves, swallowed up the twenty-four heroic spirits. Countless ghosts rushed towards these heroic spirits without regard for their own lives, frantically tearing at their bodies!
After this period of refinement, compared to the last battle, the ghost army has not only fully recovered, but has even become slightly stronger!
Hundreds of ghost generals, including seventeen high-ranking ghost generals! And each of them is supported by a battle formation of hundreds of fierce ghosts!

Faced with the reckless fighting style of this enormous demon, the twenty-four heroic horned demons were actually forced to break through!

Moreover, the attacks of those powerful high-level ghost generals had actually managed to force open a gap in Chu Xiu's defenses!
In this situation, Chu Xiu simply swayed and rushed to the vicinity of the core anchor point.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xiu poured all of his remaining divine and demonic power and the essence of his magical treasures into the Chiwen!
In an instant, an extremely terrifying power overflowed from the Chiwen. This sword strike, unreserved and even stronger than the one he swung when fighting the Horned Demon Armor!

In front of him, all the horned demons were pushed aside by the surging ghosts, and there was no longer any obstruction!
Become!

Everyone who saw this couldn't help but cheer!
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Chu Xiu raised the Chiwen sword high and swung it down with all his might towards the core anchor point!

A violent force surged forth, but just as the greatsword was about to touch the core, a human hand suddenly emerged from near the core without warning.

The next moment, the human hand firmly grasped the Chiwen that was slashing down with all its might in mid-air.
