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

Chapter 398 The Seed of Special Rules

Reborn!

Everyone stared in shock at Chu Xiu, who had been reborn amidst the corpses of insects scattered on the ground. His skeleton had now largely grown back, and the reborn bones were crystal clear, radiating a smooth, jade-like luster.

Next come nerve fibers, muscles, and fascia, until a perfectly proportioned human body is fully formed.

Previously, Chu Xiu had always habitually covered his face with various equipment, so this was the first time everyone had seen his true appearance.

Whether it was because they saw his face or not, all the civilization envoys felt that Chu Xiu had a slightly more inexplicable feeling than before.

Although his face was quite ordinary, it inexplicably possessed a kind of "divinity" like that of an ancient sculpture, making it impossible to look away.

At this moment, Chu Xiu's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sensing something. The group of civilization envoys looked at each other, but none of them dared to disturb him.

After a while, Chu Xiu slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Chen?" Zhu Jiu asked hesitantly.

Chu Xiu seemed to wake from a dream, slowly regaining his senses and nodding gently.

Although he opened his eyes, he still had a thoughtful expression on his face, and deep in his eyes was a hint of shock.

What the others didn't know was that at this moment, several lines of prompts that shocked even Chu Xiu were appearing in front of him!

[Trial successful! Completion of the Tribulation Body +31.2%.]

[Body Forged Through Tribulations (SSS) (Completion 62.7%): All attributes +39800, Tribulation Lightning Resistance +1722, Increased Life Essence, Reduced Data-Driven Aspects.]

The completion rate of the Tribulation Body has increased by a whopping 31.2%!

It's important to know that his previous tribulation, involving both physical and core formation processes, only achieved a 31.5% completion rate! This time, Chu Xiu's tribulation nearly doubled the completion rate of this trait!
Needless to say, the significant increase in all attributes has doubled the resistance to tribulation lightning. Chu Xiu still knows that this so-called resistance to tribulation lightning is not only able to resist tribulation lightning, but also has the ability to resist all rules!
What's even more important is the elevation of the essence of life!

This feeling is magical, like going from King Rank to Heroic Spirit. It's not just about improving basic attributes, but about opening up a completely new sense and being able to comprehend the rules. At the King Rank, even if the basic attributes are strong, like Chu Xiu who has reached the level of a demigod, one still cannot comprehend the rules!

This is the fundamental change in the nature of life!

Although this change may not seem to help the battle in any obvious way, it actually has a huge impact. He also has a premonition that once the Tribulation Body trait is fully completed, he will undergo a huge change that he cannot even imagine!

As for the specific changes...
Chu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he summoned his attribute panel.

[Name] Chu Xiu

[Rank] ? ? ?
【Occupation: Demonic Cultivator (MAX)】

[Talent: Perfect Forging (SSS)]

Current Rank: Inner Disciple of the Holy Sect (Early Core Formation Stage)

[Class Bonus: ???]

【constitution】???
【Spirit】???
【energy level】???
The vast majority of attributes have turned into question marks!

"Does this mean the last line represents a decrease in data quantification?"

Chu Xiu frowned and looked around, then gently clenched his fist.

The surging power within him did not diminish in the slightest.

On the surface, this seems to simply prevent his attributes from being displayed on the panel in a quantifiable form.

But Chu Xiu knew that the truth was not so simple, because after the completion of his Tribulation Body increased dramatically, he felt an indescribable sense of alienation from the world around him.

The feeling was so faint that, with his current level of perception, he couldn't tell whether it was real or just a hallucination, nor did he know what effect it would have on him.

"Perhaps only when the body that has undergone tribulations is fully cultivated will I know what changes have occurred in my body."

Letting out a soft breath, Chu Xiu's gaze continued downwards.

While the transformation of his body after the tribulation was a pleasant surprise, it was something he already possessed, and this enhancement was far from shocking him.

To his shock, the latest notification appeared.

[Comprehension of "Life Rules" +3.1, Item obtained: Seed of Rules (Life) (Copy)]

"I actually obtained a Seed of Rules!"

This was something Chu Xiu had never expected.

In the process of fighting against the Bone Transformation Tribulation, he did feel that he had discovered certain patterns.

But how mysterious and complex are the rules? No matter how many coincidences he has this time, how can he possibly comprehend them in a short period of time?

Therefore, even though Chu Xiu's spiritual strength, precision, and calculation ability at this moment were far superior to those of ordinary demigods, and countless cells throughout his body spontaneously transformed into poisonous insects to demonstrate for him, he could only comprehend something that was not even superficial in just two hours.

In reality, he could only barely mobilize the transformed venomous insects within his body to resist the external forces of the rules; he himself had absolutely no ability to manipulate the rules.

The fact that we were able to withstand this ordeal is largely thanks to the magical artifact bestowed by the god of suffering, which continuously provides life energy.

After successfully surviving the tribulation, even through passive accumulation of bodily energy, a considerable number of poisonous insects were ultimately transformed.

Chu Xiu originally regarded it only as a means of fighting the enemy, and not a particularly strong one, since there were too few of them.

But to his surprise, when he was reborn, the poisonous insects in his body spontaneously combined to form a [Seed of Rules]!
"The rules of life. That's an awesome rule!"

Chu Xiu felt an overwhelming surge of joy. The rules were also hierarchical and subordinate to each other. For example, the "Imitation Rule" was actually encompassed by the "Change Rule".

The higher the level of rules one masters, the stronger one's combat power, and the higher the rank of the god behind those rules.

The [Rules of Life] are undoubtedly rules at the [God-King] level! Even the [Rules of Blood] of the Blood Pool are encompassed under the [Rules of Life]!
How could Chu Xiu not be overjoyed?
“The Seed of Rules is a gift directly from the gods, and it is usually bestowed only upon the most outstanding geniuses in a civilization or those who have made great contributions.”

"Even if I were killed the next second and used the Deep Dive Freedom Scroll to leave this place, it would still be worth the trip if I could obtain a [God King] level Rule Seed."

The value of the Seed of Rules is especially precious to an awakener like Chu Xiu from a lower civilization! It is not only a channel for comprehending the rules, but also an ascent path that is closed to lower civilizations and belongs only to higher civilizations!

This is truly a tribulation that surpasses even the difficulty of the past! The rewards are unbelievably generous!
"But what does this copying mean?" Chu Xiu stroked his chin. He had considered asking Zhu Jiu and the others, but neither Zhu Jiu nor Xie Xuanzhao had mentioned it in the information they had given him. Moreover, since the Seed of Rules was related to the Calamity, he intuitively felt that there might be some unknown secret involved.

After much deliberation, he decided not to bring it up for now, but he could try to subtly inquire about it to obtain some information.

After all, he knew too little about the rules, and once he left this trial, he wouldn't have many more opportunities to come into contact with advanced civilizations.

Having made up his mind, but before Chu Xiu could speak, Zhu Jiu, seeing that his eyes had regained their clarity, eagerly asked, "Brother Chen! What exactly happened?"

"Could it be that you..."

Zhu Jiu stopped halfway through his sentence. He wanted to ask, "Did you really comprehend the rules in such a short time?" But then he thought it was too far-fetched. Besides, even if Chu Xiu had really accomplished such a miracle, he wouldn't tell anyone.

Before Chu Xiu could even speak, Mao Qi snorted coldly, "What more questions are there? Don't you know that prying into other people's secrets is a grave taboo?"

After speaking, she turned to Chu Xiu, and a rare smile appeared on her face: "Please rest assured, senior. Just tell me what to do next, and I will not ask any questions."

She had never identified as a woman before, but at this moment she acted like a little girl.

This surprised and amused everyone. They had no idea what kind of spell Chu Xiu had cast on her, making her suddenly obedient and acting as if she had some huge secret that she was afraid others would discover, just like a treasure hunter guarding a treasure map.

Even Chu Xiu, who knew the reason, was somewhat surprised and frowned, saying, "You don't need to do this, and I have no benefit for you."

He couldn't understand why, no matter how extraordinary he was, everyone would return to their own worlds after the trial, and given the vastness of the abyss, it wouldn't be surprising if they never saw each other again in their entire lives.

Is it really necessary to be like this?
In response to Chu Xiu's words, Mao Qi simply chuckled and said, "Senior is joking. I just trust you."

Chu Xiu could only shake his head helplessly, ignoring her and turning to the others, saying, "Thank you all for delaying me. I will remember this kindness and repay it in the future."

"Please rest assured, I am perfectly fine. I have just used up one of my trump cards to save my life."

"I might as well tell you all that the reason I am called a Tribulation ...

After a pause, Chu Xiu said, "The tribulations to come should be easier to deal with."

Chu Xiu's words were half true and half false, but they made the civilization envoys exchange glances and breathe a sigh of relief.

It turns out they only discovered the characteristics of Zed, rather than mastering the rules. This is much easier for them to accept, since they know very little about Zed and don't understand what it means.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu successfully survived the tribulation and frankly stated that dealing with the next tribulation would be easier, which greatly increased everyone's hope of passing the level.

Cat Seven stood to the side, looking at the others with a strange smile on his face.

Of course, at this moment she reactivated the Law of Change to conceal her face, so no one else could tell.

"Then congratulations, Brother Chen." Xie Xuanzhao clasped his hands in greeting.

Chu Xiu returned the greeting and said, "There is another matter I would like to ask you all."

"Brother Chen, please speak freely."

"During the previous trial of the heart, the simulated rules were able to simulate the various laws. Does that mean that the [Seed of Rules] can also imitate, copy, and mass-produce them?"

Chu Xiu's question startled everyone. Mu Tuoqi said, "Brother Chen, why would you suddenly ask such a strange question?"

"Our simulation rules are not called replication rules because they are essentially just superficial imitations of other rules, but their inner essence is completely different. I have never heard of replication rules, let alone the seed of replication rules."

Zhu Jiu also said, "That's right. The Seed of Rules is just a channel connecting to the origin of the rules. What's the use of copying a channel?"

Cat Seven said, "If Senior needs it, I can search my clan's secret vault for you after I return to civilization."

After listening to their words, Chu Xiu roughly understood the situation and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I was just curious about why Jie could wield the power of rules, so I asked casually."

However, at this moment, Xie Xuanzhao suddenly said, "I just remembered something my teacher once told me."

"Oh?" Chu Xiu's eyes lit up. "May I ask what it is, young lady?"

Xie Xuanzhao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "This matter is actually not exactly a secret. It is said to have occurred during the [Era of Myriad Races]."

Everyone listened intently to her words. Chu Xiu heard a new term and wanted to ask what the Myriad Races Era was, but just then, Xie Xuanzhao suddenly paused, and the next instant, a dark red thorn emerged from her chest without warning!

"puff!"

Xie Xuanzhao's chest was almost instantly stained with a large patch of dark red, and then his entire body was lifted upwards by a force!
A blurry figure appeared behind Xie Xuanzhao. It was a dark red humanoid creature, but its right hand had transformed into a long, narrow blade, which pierced through Xie Xuanzhao's body!
"?!!!"

Zhu Jiu, who was closest to Xie Xuanzhao, turned around in horror. He had cultivated an automatic detection technique that constantly monitored the surroundings, but he had not detected any other creatures approaching!
But his reaction was also extremely fast. He put two fingers together, and a laser beam shot out from between his fingers. This move seemed ordinary, but it was actually one of his trump cards!

This secret technique is called "Lightning Finger," which sacrifices power for extreme movement and activation speed. It can be said that everything is prepared for the sake of "hit."

Zhu Jiu incorporated its rules of destruction into it, making up for the lack of power and turning it into a killing technique with immense power that is almost impossible to dodge!

Just as he expected, the laser beam struck the dark red figure. However, the scene of being destroyed by the rules of destruction that he had anticipated did not occur. To Zhu Jiu's incredulous gaze, the dark red figure remained completely still, as if it had not suffered any harm!

"How is this possible!" Zhu Jiu exclaimed in disbelief.

A disdainful sneer came from the figure, and in the next instant, countless spikes burst out, instantly shattering Xie Xuanzhao's body completely!

Large amounts of blood rained down from the sky, and everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

died?

A level 10 civilization expert who was well-versed in the rules of fate died just like that?
"court death!"

A sword aura carrying unparalleled power swept past, and Chu Xiu attacked in a fit of rage. This time, the dark red figure did not underestimate the attack and instead stretched out both hands to take the blow head-on!
"boom!"

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards. Chu Xiu, enraged, attacked without holding back. The violent force sent the dark red figure retreating a hundred meters, and the surrounding dark red mist was blown away, revealing a human face.

Chu Xiu couldn't describe this face. His features were twisted together unnaturally, exuding a wicked, violent, and sinister aura. His eyes were filled with extreme resentment and malice, as if all the malice in the world was concentrated on this face.

What really sent chills down everyone's spine was...

This face looks exactly like Chu Xiu's!
