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

Chapter 390 God's Domain
As Mao Qi finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Xiu instantly. Surprise, doubt, shock, denial, and other emotions surged around his soul.

Chu Xiu's eyelids twitched slightly, then he spoke expressionlessly: "I'd like to hear the details."

“It’s very simple,” Cat Seven gave a thumbs up. “First of all, I can tell you all that we have found a divine artifact, which is my own Law of Change. Also, considering the Flesh and Bone Umbrella, Brother Tuoba can be ruled out.”

"In this way, the target candidates will be reduced to six."

"Secondly, the reason I turned back to save you two earlier was because I deduced that the ability of that 'tribulation lightning incarnation' was related to the laws we have mastered."

"As everyone should know, the Abyss has an underlying rule of Yin-Yang balance, so it will not issue trials that exceed the difficulty limit. Therefore, we will definitely have a chance to pass the level. If the tribulation lightning incarnation cannot be killed, this mission will not appear at all."

"Judging from its current performance, it is incredibly strong. Not to mention its divine body, just the Faceless Men it sent out earlier, if they hadn't acted separately, but instead had gathered seven Faceless Men to kill one person, no one could have stopped them."

"But why doesn't the other party do that?"

"After learning that Brother Mu had actually controlled a Faceless Man, I had a bold guess: perhaps the abilities of the Tribulation Lightning Incarnation can be countered by the rules of one of us! And he doesn't even know what rules we each possess!"

"If Brother Mu is among the targets of the seven-person attack, then this attack will not only be useless, but will also greatly increase our combat strength! So they simply used it as a means to test our strength."

"In this way, Brother Mu's suspicion can be eliminated, and Brother Shagu, who has been stripped of the power of the rules, can also be eliminated—I don't mean to look down on you, but I think that the Tribulation ...

Although Shagu's expression was somewhat displeased, he nodded in acceptance of Maoqi's explanation.

Chu Xiu's expression became even more somber. Perhaps because the mission clearly stated that the Tribulation ...

Now, only four people remain in the arena!
Cat Seven continued, "As you can tell from the names of the Tribulation ...

"In this way, while we cannot completely rule out the possibility that Miss Xuanzhao, who entered the central area alone, is a Tribulation ...

While this explanation is somewhat far-fetched, it does indeed, as Mao Qi said, significantly reduce the suspicion against Xie Xuanzhao.

"Do I need to say anything more?" Cat Seven snorted smugly. "Of the remaining three, one is eager to break away from the team and act alone, one has shown a level of strength that surpasses ours, and one still refuses to tell us the rules he has mastered. Why is that!"

As Mao Qi finished speaking, the way everyone looked at Chu Xiu changed. They silently moved their feet, forming a barely perceptible encirclement.

Chu Xiu, who was in the middle of it, had an unprecedentedly gloomy expression. He did not expect that this Cat Seven could deduce so many things in one go, and that he had guessed almost everything correctly.

Although he could stubbornly say that this was just an unfounded guess by the other party, judging from everyone's expressions, they probably already believed it to a large extent. Even if he managed to hold on until the battle royale after reuniting with Xie Xuanzhao, he would definitely be the first one targeted by everyone.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Chu Xiu looked up and let out a cold laugh.

"So, it turns out I was wrong to save people?"

"If I don't take action, how will any of you know my strength?"

After he finished speaking, both Muto and the Demon showed hesitation on their faces.

Cat Seven then said, "As I said before, the ability of the tribulation lightning incarnation is countered by us, so you need to rely on our power."

Chu Xiu looked disdainful: "If I remember correctly, the core of your speculation is the rule of the Abyss's [Yin-Yang Balance], right?"

"What, this balance doesn't work for those undergoing tribulations?"

"You've all seen the power of the tribulation lightning incarnation. Tell me, if the tribulation-bearers can still fight against the tribulation lightning incarnation despite the suspicion and distrust of the seven civilization envoys, then what makes you think that you can fight against the tribulation-bearers on your own?"

These words startled Mao Qi slightly, causing him to frown, and the others also showed signs of wavering.

After all, they didn't know that the difficulty of the [Calamity] far exceeded that of the old trials, and that it would also attract the [greatest malice of the abyss].

According to the ordinary principle of Yin-Yang balance, the Tribulation ...

Chu Xiu hadn't completely lied to them. He hadn't used any of his trump cards. If it really came down to a fight to the death, he might still have a chance of winning, but he would inevitably pay a heavy price. After that, there would be no hope of clearing the level, and he would lose a [Deep Dive Freedom Scroll] for nothing.

For a moment, an eerie atmosphere filled the room.

After a long silence, Mao Qi chuckled and broke the silence: "In that case, I was indeed rash. I hope Brother Chen will not take offense."

"It's alright." Chu Xiu waved his hand.

"Shall we stick to the original plan and find Miss Xuanzhao first? Perhaps she holds the key to breaking the deadlock."

Everyone nodded in agreement, reaching a consensus without much further discussion.

The group took out their communication devices. Although there was strong interference in the area, they managed to establish a connection despite the reduced distance. They then used this connection to explore the interior of the Starship.

Although things appeared peaceful on the surface, everyone was more wary.

Chu Xiu also knew that they would not believe him so easily.

The only thing that maintained his dignity was his own words: "What makes you think you can fight against the Tribulations Tribulations on your own?"

It seems that they all realized that the correct way for the Civilization Envoy to pass the level was to observe the situation calmly during the battle between the Tribulation Lightning Incarnation and the Tribulation ...

It's too early to completely break off relations now.

Although a fierce battle was avoided, Chu Xiu still looked unwell. He couldn't think of a way to persuade the seven civilization envoys to help him. Faced with that terrifying divine body, anyone's first reaction would be to side with the other.

Unless he can gain the upper hand in the battle against the incarnation of the tribulation lightning, but how is that possible?

"Could it be that surviving until the allotted time is the only chance of survival in this trial?"

"No, it should be that the corpse of that god has some weaknesses that I am not yet aware of." The Tribulation is not a trial that will inevitably lead to death. At least Blood Pool said that a God-King once trained a disciple who was able to pass the Tribulation.

Not to mention that Chu Xiu had already undergone tribulation, and his body was stronger than other tribulation sufferers. He believed that he was no worse than other tribulation sufferers and that there must be a way to pass the tribulation.

Just as he was frowning and carefully considering a solution, a crimson mist suddenly appeared in front of him.

Everyone was a person with keen senses, and they immediately noticed something was wrong and stopped in their tracks!

Chu Xiu sensed a familiar power emanating from the scarlet mist; the mist actually contained the power of rules!

“Let’s go around it,” Cat Seven said.

Zhu Jiu nodded, but before he could utter a single word, his expression changed drastically!
Suddenly, without warning, the crimson mist that had been several miles away appeared right beside them!
The mist didn't move at all, as if it had always been there!
"Not good! Quickly block the fog!" Zhu Jiu roared.

Without him saying anything, everyone immediately activated their defensive abilities. Chu Xiu raised his hand and waved it, and a large amount of demonic energy formed a seamless "wall" around him.

However, the next moment, something unbelievable happened. The scarlet mist, just like the previous tribulation lightning, completely ignored the layers of demonic energy barriers formed by Chu Xiu and floated towards him as if there was nothing in the air!

Chu Xiu quickly retreated, but was then even more horrified to discover that no matter how he moved, the distance between him and the mist was constantly shrinking! It was as if the mist existed independently of all reference frames, with him as its coordinate!
Cat Seven's face was extremely ugly. He said in a low voice, "There's no need to struggle. This is a divine domain. There's no way to defend within its range. It will definitely hit you. Escape is useless."

The realm of the gods is indefensible! It's guaranteed to hit!

What kind of insane ability is this? How can you fight with something like this?
"Zizi!"

Before Chu Xiu could recover from his shock, the scarlet mist had already come into contact with his body. The moment he touched the mist, his skin broke out in tiny blisters as if he had been burned. The blisters contained yellow pus, which looked extremely disgusting.

His physique, which had a strength of over 100,000, and whose skin could withstand a nuclear explosion from a distance of 100 meters, was now completely powerless to resist and began to fester!
"It's Brother Shagu's Cancer Law!" Cat Seven quickly transmitted his voice. "My previous prediction was indeed correct! The corpse of that god possesses the power corresponding to our laws. Brother Shagu's rule power has been stripped away, so he doesn't need to worry about being countered and can use this power to launch an attack on us!"

"We absolutely cannot allow any more deaths this time! Quickly, use the magic-breaking technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Qi sat down cross-legged, and streams of light blue light rose around him, like morning stars moving in their predetermined orbits. Strangely, those morning stars were able to resist the scarlet mist!
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, not too surprised. For these envoys from advanced civilizations, the power of rules was no longer rare. Since they possessed the power of rules, they naturally also had ways to resist them.

The others all unleashed their secret techniques, each different from the others. The most skillful were those of Mao Qi and Zhu Jiu. A golden dragon rose behind Zhu Jiu, and beams of golden light swept down, dispersing the mist.

However, although the crimson mist could not get close to the two, they also had no energy left to help the rest.

The other people's anti-magic techniques were much weaker, and they could barely resist for the time being, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

As for Chu Xiu, he was in an even worse state. He had no idea about any magic-breaking techniques and relied entirely on his powerful vitality and the characteristics of his body that had undergone tribulation to withstand the damage! In the blink of an eye, his entire body was covered in festering sores!
"Brother Chen! What are you still standing there for? Quickly use the magic-breaking technique!" Zhu Jiu was the first to notice his situation, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently.

As he finished speaking, the others also noticed Chu Xiu's festering sores. Cat Seven exclaimed in shock and anger, "What's wrong with him? Doesn't he know any magic-breaking techniques? Is he really from a level six civilization???"

Shagu's voice rang out in terror: "Chen Ce! Now is not the time to hide your strength. Once my Cancerous Transformation Law progresses to a certain point, it will cause irreversible body-wide deformities! At that time, no one can save you. You will continue to deform into a mindless, immortal monster!"

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and the power of gods and demons and the origin of magic treasures surged into all parts of his body. He discovered that this power of rules and tribulation lightning had exactly the same characteristics. Although he could not block or defend against it, he could slow down the penetration of the power of rules by connecting his body with magic power. Moreover, the power of gods and demons and the origin of magic treasures were similar to high-level powers and also had a certain resistance.

At this moment, he is using his previous experience to fight against the power of this rule!

Seeing that Chu Xiu remained silent, the other six looked at each other in bewilderment, completely unable to understand.

They had always firmly believed that the Level 6 civilization was merely a pretext for Chu Xiu to avoid revealing his origins and rules.

But now that they're facing the rules head-on, he's still putting on an act?!

The power of rules is no joke; it is the most fundamental and absolute power in this world! Even rules that do not originate from the source of rules but merely borrow a trace of authority must be resisted with divine power!

Their methods of breaking the rules, though called breaking the rules, are actually just methods to evade and interfere with the rules.

Trying to defy the rules with your bare body will only lead to death!
Could it be that he really isn't a trial-taker?
If Chu Xiu is still acting right now, then he can only be described as an absolute madman!

No matter how anxious the six people were, Chu Xiu remained silent, simply closing his eyes as if he were concentrating on fighting against the rules.

"Oh shit!"

At this moment, Zhu Jiu suddenly cursed, and then the golden dragon behind him suddenly turned to Chu Xiu, opened its mouth wide, and a round golden pill was spat out from its mouth, hovering above Chu Xiu's head.

Golden rays descended, dispelling the surrounding crimson mist and halting the progression of cancer in Chu Xiu's body.

However, after spitting out the golden pill, the golden dragon aura behind Zhu Jiu was significantly weaker, and the radiance on the golden pill was also rapidly dissipating, clearly indicating that resisting the scarlet mist had greatly damaged it.

"A true dragon's inner core?" Cat Seven exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the golden core. "You're really willing to part with it."

"What good would it do if I didn't want to?" Zhu Jiu's face was extremely ugly. "Now, every time someone dies, the enemy will have one more rule to deal with us. Even if we don't mention that, haven't you heard of the Cancer Rule? Judging from the density of this fog, the authority of the rule is at least level six or higher! The monsters born from it can't even be killed by my Destruction Rule!"

Cat Seven fell silent, clearly recalling some rumors about the rules of cancer. While the rules of destruction were indeed powerful, Candle Nine himself was merely a heroic spirit, and the level of the destructive authority he wielded would not be too high.

Zhu Jiu turned to Chu Xiu and said in a low voice, "I can't protect you for long. The participants in this trial have obviously been carefully selected. I don't believe you have no way to protect yourself, but whatever trump cards you have, use them quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Chu Xiu opened his mouth, but before he could answer, a scream suddenly rang out!
As everyone looked in that direction, their expressions changed drastically. It turned out that Tuoba Shou, who had previously withstood the gods, had exhausted himself, and the protective magic technique around his body had developed a flaw, with several wisps of scarlet mist already clinging to his skin!
Unlike Chu Xiu's festering abscesses, his skin trembled violently almost the instant it was touched, as if cancerous flesh was growing wildly underneath!

Cat Seven unleashed a star to help, but more cracking sounds came from within.

Shagu, stripped of his power of the rules, along with Muto and Canmo, who were previously severely injured by the gods, are all on the verge of collapse!

Zhu Jiu and Mao Qi exchanged a glance, their faces turning deathly pale.

"It's over!"
