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

Chapter 389 Great Power
"It can't be that bad."

Chu Xiu looked at the figure above his head, his spiritual senses were frantically alarming, and every cell in his body was telling him to run!
That overwhelming aura, which was beyond question, was something Chu Xiu had never felt before, and even the extraterrestrial demons that descended that day could not compare!

"Is he really a god?"

His throat tightened, and he wanted to curse inwardly.

Who the hell remembers that this was just a King-level trial?!

A god appeared in a King-level trial?!
Without needing to think any further, their bodies reacted instinctively. Without the slightest hesitation, the seven of them sped away the moment they saw the pale blue figure!

However, at this moment, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, making everyone's movements seem to be in slow motion!
Muto, his face filled with horror, cried out in terror, "Divine Domain!!!"

Before the words were finished, the blue figure changed. Its face, which had been featureless like the previous faceless people, now showed stars, as if a universe was running inside it!
The next moment, an energy torrent that Chu Xiu had never seen before, but which was full of vastness and mystery, like a dazzling galaxy, poured down on everyone!

The two slowest runners, Muto and Remnant Demon, screamed almost simultaneously upon contact, their protective shields shattering in an instant! They were swept backward by the energy torrent like charred charcoal!

Their bodies melted rapidly, just like the turbulent flow of particles burning and exploding at tens of thousands of degrees in the brilliant galaxy!
This scene made a fierce glint flash in Chu Xiu's eyes. He now understood that these civilization envoys were not his enemies, but his teammates!

Moreover, the faceless man he had encountered earlier gave him an extremely unsettling suspicion.

Those faceless beings were created by imitating the rules, and according to Muto, they possess some of the power that only their own gods could achieve, making them extremely powerful!

The reason it didn't cause much damage to the group is that it seemed to have used it as a probing skill, thus splitting the fighting power evenly.

But imagine how terrifying it would be if eight clones attacked one person together?

On the other hand, if the attacker were MUTO, the outcome would be completely reversed. With his superior understanding of the rules of imitation, he could instantly paralyze these eight clones!
Is it possible that the enemy actually possesses the power of the rules corresponding to each person, requiring a specific civilization to resolve the issue?
Although it was just a guess, Chu Xiu felt it was highly likely! A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stopped, rushing towards Muto and the other two, shouting at the same time, "Fight the enemy together! Not a single one can be lost!"

As he spoke, the Chiwen appeared in his hand. Chu Xiu looked at the god in the distance whose face seemed to contain the flow of the universe. Every cell in his body trembled under the enormous pressure, but this only fully stimulated his potential. For the first time after forming his core, he completely exhausted his power!
The power of gods and demons surged into Chiwen, its violent force like burning rocket fuel, instantly pushing Chiwen's power to its limit! At the same time, the essence of the magic weapon arrived, greatly strengthening and optimizing the particle structure inside Chiwen!
After he entered the ranks of Heroic Spirits, the power of this mythical equipment underwent a qualitative leap. After being further enhanced by the combined effects of the two, the energy level it unleashed far exceeded that of ordinary demigods! It was approaching that of a Celestial King!
Chu Xiu unleashed a sword strike, the sword energy condensed to its extreme colliding head-on with the torrent of energy descended by the gods!

To everyone's astonishment, the powerful sword energy actually tore a rift open amidst the towering waves!
Defiing the gods!

Incredulous expressions appeared on everyone's faces. These people all possessed powerful rules, but even the civilization envoys of a level ten civilization had never thought of resisting the power of a god!
The amount of energy they can unleash is even less than one-third of Chu Xiu's!
However, the shock was only momentary. Someone quickly realized the meaning behind Chu Xiu's words. Cat Seven, who had been the fastest to escape, suddenly turned around and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, two Cat Sevens appeared in the air without warning! They had captured Muto and Canmo respectively!

Chu Xiu's sword strike just now landed between Muto and the Remnant Demon, briefly blocking the subsequent energy output in the surrounding area and giving Mao Qi the opportunity to rescue the two.

The two moved and reacted extremely quickly, almost the instant the MUTO Remnant was swept into the energy torrent, they came to the rescue. From the moment the shield broke to the moment they were rescued, the time was less than 0.1 seconds!

But in that extremely short time, the two of them had been turned into two charred pieces, their flesh and blood almost completely carbonized, and some of their bones, which were in a high-density energy environment, had even completely melted!

Even a high-level Awakened would be on the verge of death after suffering such injuries.

This left everyone horrified, because they could clearly sense that the deity had not used any supernatural powers, nor even the slightest skill, and had not even deliberately aimed its attack at Chu Xiu and the others! It was simply releasing its vast and boundless energy outwards!

It can be said that the attack that Chu Xiu and the others endured was less than one percent of the total energy released, but even so, it still instantly killed the two civilization envoys!
Even Chu Xiu's full-force sword energy could only withstand the attack for a moment before rapidly dissolving and dissipating in the almost endless energy!
The other civilizations' envoys all changed their expressions. Although some of them had not yet figured out the key to it, they knew that they had to unite and cooperate at this time. Almost everyone used their own supernatural powers, and energy shields formed in mid-air, finally stopping the energy torrent for a moment.

Taking advantage of this time, the group had already rushed more than 100 meters away.

It should be understood that gods release energy indiscriminately in a circular shape, and the energy density decreases cubically with distance. Although a distance of 100 meters is not much different from being very close to a powerhouse like Chu Xiu, the pressure they experience is much less than before!
"You guys go first! Hide inside the Starship!"

Tuoba Shou shouted, stopping in his tracks. He turned around and stood in front of the others, opening the newly acquired Flesh and Bone Umbrella in his hand. His entire body swelled with magical power, roaring towards the expanding energy!
Eighteen crimson hands appeared in the void behind him, each hand rapidly changing into mysterious hand seals. These hand seals formed a huge golden magic array, like a Buddhist mantra for suppressing demons, forcefully resisting the bursting energy!

Chu Xiu could sense that this magic array must be a supernatural power of extremely high grade, at the very least a [ultimate skill] level, no weaker than the top inheritance he cultivated.

However, such powerful supernatural abilities are as fragile as bubbles in a rainstorm in the face of divine-level energy, and are swallowed up in an instant!

Tuoba Shou let out a scream as his flesh and blood were carbonized and shattered as if he had been put into an incinerator!
"boom!!!"

The surging energy rampaged through the Starship, as if even space itself was being torn apart by this extreme energy. As the raging energy gradually subsided, the space within a three-mile radius of the deity had been completely transformed into a sea of ​​fire, melting all matter within it. The molten iron from the Starship piled up at the bottom of the large hole, resembling a silvery-white lake.

Several miles away, everyone watched this scene with solemn expressions. Some of these battle-hardened envoys even turned pale, showing fear.

Even they rarely witnessed "god-level" power. That terrifying power, which was completely unstoppable, still sends chills down everyone's spine and makes them tremble with fear.

Suddenly, a figure burst out of the sea of ​​fire and crashed heavily into the vicinity of the group.

"Kakakaka."

The charcoal on his body gradually fell off, revealing fresh flesh and blood.

The abnormal transformation effect of the Flesh and Bone Umbrella, combined with his own flesh and blood regeneration law, actually allowed him to survive the power of the gods.

Even with the support of the Flesh and Bone Umbrella, Tuoba Shou's aura became extremely weak, and the spiritual light of the artifact in his hand dimmed noticeably. Everyone could clearly feel that the power of the rules within this artifact had been completely consumed, turning it into an ordinary [Heroic Spirit Myth] equipment.

"Brother Tuoba!"

Zhu Jiu stepped forward and helped him up. As streams of healing energy flowed into his body, Tuoba Shou's complexion gradually returned to normal.

He forced a smile, revealing a somewhat awkward one, and looked at the others: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine."

"However, I have consumed a lot of the power of the rules within me, and I am afraid I will have to rely on you all from now on."

Everyone nodded. If Tuoba Shou had escaped normally, he would not have expended so much energy. In fact, with the flesh and blood regeneration law, it wouldn't be surprising if he had escaped safely.

He stayed behind to hold them off, and although he used the Flesh and Bone Umbrella to save everyone else, he also greatly reduced his own strength, which was undoubtedly fatal in the dangerous trial.

Of course, from a holistic perspective, this is indeed the best choice to maximize the power of the artifact.

But what skills allow one to make the best decision for the team in the blink of an eye?
In particular, there was a predatory trial participant among them, which meant that they were entrusting their lives to someone else.

This made Chu Xiu secretly alarmed, thinking that these civilization envoys were not only powerful, but also decisive in their actions, and could even achieve cooperation without communication in many cases.

"Brother Tuoba, rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, I will ensure your safety," Zhu Jiu said.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's leave first," said Cat Seven.

The blue figure at the epicenter of the explosion, though making no further moves, continued to emanate powerful energy. No one wanted to face this terrifying presence, so the moment they met Tuoba Shou, everyone fled rapidly into the Star Leap Ship.

Only after completely leaving the central area and no longer sensing the aura of that "deity" did the group slow down slightly.

"What exactly is this trial? Isn't it supposed to be a trial for heroic spirits? How can god-level power appear?"

Muto looked tense, clearly trying his best to hold back from swearing.

The others also had different expressions. Zhu Jiu whispered, "Just who the hell is this trial participant? How could a god-level power appear during the trial? Although it looks like just a corpse, but..."

That level of power is far beyond what demigods can compete with, not even those demigods who have been appointed as divine messengers.

If the opponent had concentrated even a little bit of their strength, they would have been annihilated without any chance to fight back!

"So what should we do now?" Shagu asked with a bitter expression.

His power of rules was taken away, and his strength was greatly reduced. In the process of facing the gods just now, he realized something for sure.

will die!

There's a very high chance they'll die here!

"What else can we do?" Cat Seven snorted coldly. "There's only one way to go now."

"Brother Cat, speak quickly," said Zhu Jiu.

“We need to find Xie Xuanzhao first,” Mao Qi said.

"Miss Xuanzhao?" Zhu Jiu was taken aback. "She's still alive?"

Zhu Jiu originally wanted to say how could she still be alive, but the words were abruptly changed to a question.

The others shared the same thought. If it weren't for Chu Xiu's unexpectedly powerful combat strength and the immense power of the Tribulation Transformation Divine Artifact, the seven of them would have been wiped out. Xie Xuanzhao was all alone and without the aid of a divine artifact, so how could he possibly still be alive?

Cat Seven sneered, "What's impossible? Have you forgotten what her abilities are? Did she plan her own demise from the very beginning?"

"This..." Zhu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Perhaps the power of the gods interfered with her judgment."

"What god? Have you ever seen a god who can be escaped by a heroic spirit?" Cat Seven sneered. "He's just a resurrected corpse."

"Otherwise, how could they use such a simple and brutal attack method, which is even inferior to that of a mortal?"

"Moreover, even ignoring that attack method, the energy it releases, while far exceeding that of a demigod, is still far from reaching the level of a god."

These words startled Chu Xiu. Such terrifying power was still far from reaching the level of a god?
Just how powerful is that god?
“Even so, no heroic spirit can withstand it,” Zhu Jiu said.

Cat Seven said, "It's impossible to fight back, but who says that god definitely made a move?"

These words startled the others, who then all wore thoughtful expressions.

Cat Seven continued, "That corpse couldn't control its power at all. It's obvious that someone activated it in the simplest way. It must be the [Thunder Incarnation] from the mission."

"If that's the case, a battle involving gods would surely leave obvious traces, but when we arrived, did you see any signs of battle?"

"I guess the other party was afraid that the fluctuations caused by the battle would alert others, so they held back until we arrived, and then let that divine body show its power."

Cat Seven's words made a lot of sense, and the others nodded in agreement. Even Chu Xiu hadn't thought of this logic at first. Considering that this person had deliberately lied to trick him into making a move, and that he was the first to realize it when he was running away, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Cat Seven's cunning was so deep.

Zhu Jiu suddenly realized, "Brother Cat is indeed very thoughtful. With the help of Miss Xuan Zhao's Law of Fate, we may be able to find a way to break this deadlock."

After saying that, Mao Qi sneered, "Who said they wanted her help?"

Zhu Jiu was stunned again: "What do you mean by that, Brother Cat?"

Cat Seven said, "I just didn't want that woman to stand by and watch, only to reap the benefits in the end."

"My plan is simple: after finding that woman, execute the eight of us one by one according to our level of suspicion, until we find and kill the one who has undergone the tribulation!"

Cat Seven's words caused everyone's expression to change drastically. Muto angrily said, "Are you going to tell us to kill each other at this time?"

"So what?" Cat Seven sneered. "Are you going to go and deal with that god?"

"This"

Muto's momentum immediately deflated.

Cat Seven continued, "Even if it's just a corpse, it's still the corpse of a god. Even if only one percent of its power remains, it's still beyond what you and I can handle. Not to mention, we don't even know what other tricks that tribulation lightning incarnation has up its sleeve, and we haven't even seen its face yet."

"The only way forward is to start with those who have undergone the tribulation. Don't even think about the second condition for completing the mission."

His words made everyone's faces turn ugly, but upon closer examination, they did make some sense.

"Besides."

At this moment, Cat Seven spoke slowly again, his form shifting, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I already have a suspect in mind. The probability that person is a Tribulation ...

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed drastically again!
Under everyone's gaze, Mao Qi slowly turned her head: "Am I right?"

"Brother Chen."
