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

Chapter 399 Tribulation Lightning Incarnation
His eyebrows, eyes, nose, and every detail of his face were exactly the same as Chu Xiu's, except that their expressions were indeed different.

Chu Xiu's brows furrowed with a mixture of solemnity and surprise, but his overall demeanor remained calm. The other man, on the other hand, seemed to harbor an overwhelming malice within him, a malice so intense it could practically burst forth from his eyes. Under the influence of this extreme malice, even the corners of his eyes appeared fierce!

All the envoys of the civilization stared in horror at the suddenly appearing figure, keeping their distance with wary and fearful expressions.

Only Chu Xiu stood motionless, staring intently at the figure opposite him, his face grave. "A tribulation lightning incarnation?"

"Accident?"

Chu Xiu chuckled softly.

Chu Xiu did not answer, but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His surprise was not feigned; he genuinely did not expect the incarnation of the tribulation lightning to come in person!

His biggest headache before was how to find the tribulation lightning incarnation and how to bypass that extremely powerful divine body, but now, he has only gone through one tribulation, and the other party has actually taken the initiative to appear in front of him!
What is this? Walking right into a trap? Or... being completely confident?

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu's expression gradually became solemn. He gripped the Chiwen in his hand tightly and dared not make any rash moves.

However, the tribulation lightning avatar on the other side was calm and said indifferently, "You don't need to worry. I come from the same source as you. I know what you are thinking and how you will act."

"I simply judged that there was no point in continuing to delay, so I decided to end this trial early."

As he spoke, he pointed contemptuously to Xie Xuanzhao's shattered corpse not far away and chuckled, "See, we can still use our first-mover advantage to gain some extra results."

The words of the tribulation lightning incarnation made Chu Xiu reveal a thoughtful expression.

He suddenly said, "You are not a creature of this world; you were created."

"clever."

The tribulation lightning avatar snapped his fingers, a smile spreading across his lips, but his eyes kept darting over Chu Xiu. This made Chu Xiu feel as if he were being stared at by a highly venomous snake, sending chills down his spine.

Upon seeing the creature opposite him, he finally understood the biggest difference between "Zed" and ordinary trials.

That is the enemy in the "Calamity," created directly from the Abyss!

Ordinary trials use readily available locations, and even in the rewind mode, enemies are selected from the past.

As Chu Xiu scanned the tribulation lightning avatar on the other side with his divine sense, he finally confirmed that it was not just a creature that looked like him, but a being that was born directly from his original body, of the same origin and life as him, knew all his characteristics and weaknesses, and was created with extreme malice towards him, with the purpose of killing him!
This is the malice of the abyss!
The envoys from other civilizations also could not hide the shock on their faces.

Just who is Chu Xiu? That the Abyss would go so far as to create a creature just to kill him!
This was something they had never heard of before! To be targeted by the Abyss was something even the most supreme gods had never experienced!
For a moment, everyone felt that Chu Xiu was full of a strong sense of mystery, while Mao Qi seemed to have strengthened his belief, and the respect in his eyes became even stronger.

On the other side, after hearing the answer from the tribulation lightning incarnation, Chu Xiu understood what the other party meant.

Just as I predicted, both the divine realm and the divine body, these two abilities that left me with almost no power to resist, have their limitations!
"If I'm not mistaken, the limitation of a god's body is its range of movement, while a god's domain can perhaps only be used in conjunction with the Calamity."

"Right now, I won't easily approach the central area. After successfully undergoing the tribulation, I will not only master the tricks to resisting the tribulation, but also greatly increase the completion rate of my body that has undergone the tribulation, further enhancing my resistance to the rules. So, the tribulation that comes afterward will probably not only not cause me much harm, but will instead enhance my strength."

"That lightning incarnation that looks exactly like me must have thought of this as well, which is why it decisively revealed its true form and directly killed Xie Xuanzhao, the most troublesome among all the civilization envoys."

Once he understood this, the entire trial instantly became clear in Chu Xiu's mind.

Although he doesn't yet know whether his speculation about the enemy's restrictions is correct, it doesn't matter right now.

Letting out a long breath, Chu Xiu gripped the Chiwen sword tightly, and the spiritual light, condensed to its extreme, rose from the sword's body.

"A clone that shares the same origin as me?"

"Let me see what kind of extraordinary abilities this final boss, the trump card of the trial, possesses!"

Chu Xiu's eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils instantly turned into a majestic dark gold!

As the enemies he faced grew stronger and of higher ranks, he rarely used the Divine Power of Burning Blood Golden Eyes anymore. However, after forming his Golden Core, with the blessing of the Flawless Golden Core, the power of this Divine Power surged, and it once again became one of his most powerful combat techniques!

Almost simultaneously, golden light also rose in the pupils of the opposite person. Their gazes collided, and Chu Xiu felt a sharp pain in his eyes! The other person was clearly not in good condition either, letting out a muffled groan and taking several steps back.

Suppressing the pain in his eyes, Chu Xiu raised the Chiwen sword in his hand, and three destructive sword energies instantly emerged from the tip of the sword, growing to a hundred meters high in the blink of an eye. Like three towering waves, they surrounded the tribulation lightning incarnation, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made the space tremble!
Without any visible movement from the tribulation lightning avatar, a large amount of black mist rose around it. In less than 0.01 seconds, this mist condensed into solid form, creating shield after shield.

It is demonic energy condensing into soldiers!

"boom!"

The sword energy and demonic energy collided like a nuclear explosion, with extreme light and heat erupting from the point of impact and rapidly spreading in all directions! The terrifying energy instantly heated the resulting air currents to thousands of degrees Celsius!
The wind blew through Chu Xiu's hair, but he remained motionless, staring intently at the figure in the distance.

Under the protection of demonic energy, all the sword energy was blocked. Although Chu Xiu had not had time to inject too much divine and demonic power and magic weapon essence into this attack in order to pursue speed before the opponent could recover, the fact that the opponent blocked it so easily still made him look horrified.

Could the lightning incarnation on the other side be a perfect copy of all his attributes and supernatural powers?
"In other words, my only advantage is my pretense."

The moment this thought arose, Chu Xiu's pupils contracted slightly. He saw that the "Chu Xiu" opposite him raised his hand just like him, and a Chiwen sword that was almost identical to Chu Xiu's rose from his hand!

However, this Chiwen also contained a strong, almost tangible, malice! If Chu Xiu's Chiwen was a divine beast that controlled the tides, then the Chiwen that was transformed from tribulation lightning was a demon that crawled out of the trench!
"It's my turn."

With a soft laugh, the tribulation lightning incarnation brought down the dragon-like sword in its hand, and almost identical sword energy shot towards Chu Xiu!

"Humph!"

Chu Xiu was determined to test its abilities, so he neither dodged nor avoided it. Under the imperfect golden core's activation, a large amount of demonic energy rose up, forming layers of barriers in front of him!
"boom!"

A dazzling light erupted once more from within the Star Leap Ship. Even this killing weapon forged by the gods was melting iron within a radius of several hundred meters due to the intense heat generated by the collision! Chu Xiu leaped out from the demonic energy barrier, his expression somewhat grim.

Unlike his previous offense, where he attacked while the opponent defended, this time he withstood the opponent's attack head-on. Chu Xiu completely absorbed every bit of the tribulation lightning avatar's magic power, allowing him to truly experience the opponent's terrifying strength! It was an energy level absolutely no less than his own!

even
"Is it because of the increased difficulty of the trial?"

Chu Xiu even felt that the opponent's sword energy was more powerful than his own!
The sword energy he just encountered still had some power left after shattering many of his barriers. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have suffered a minor loss by now!
Although he did not mobilize the power of gods and demons, the opponent only used a casual sword strike. Chu Xiu instinctively felt that the opponent's magical power was perhaps even greater than his own!
This thought made his expression more solemn than ever before.

Just like him, a clone with all his supernatural powers and equipment, and even better in basic attributes!

This means that in a one-on-one fight, Chu Xiu has almost no chance of winning!
That's the difficulty of this tribulation!
Chu Xiu's expression changed repeatedly as he rapidly considered various plans, but suddenly, his expression stiffened slightly.

Opposite him, the Thunder Avatar, with its face identical to his, revealed a mocking smile, as if it could see through all his thoughts.

"As expected of my original form, but try taking this sword strike again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tribulation lightning avatar swung the Chiwen sword again, and three long, narrow sword energies shot out. The three sword energies were as black as ink, and wherever they passed, it was as if the space had disappeared into thin air.

Although the momentum was much smaller than before, the moment those three sword energies appeared, everyone present felt their hair stand on end and a sense of extreme danger rose in their hearts. Zhu Jiu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly transmitted his voice: "Brother Chen, run!"

Before he could even transmit his voice, Chu Xiu had already reacted. The power of gods and demons erupted with tremendous force in an instant, causing him to dodge to the side. At the same time, countless demonic energies transformed into giant hands, reaching out to grab the sword energy!
However, what happened next was a chilling scene. When the demonic energy came into contact with the dark sword energy, it was like shattered glass. It couldn't even hold on for a moment before it collapsed one after another!

After the giant hand dissipated, it did not transform back into pure demonic energy as before. Instead, it condensed together, like a rubber block that had lost all its activity.

Destroy the rules!

Chu Xiu, who had fought against the replica of Zhu Jiu, recognized the power contained in the dark sword energy at a glance!
If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, being struck by that sword energy would have instantly shattered most of his body, even with his body's resistance from the Tribulation Realm!

Even with his temperament, a sense of despair arose within him for a moment.

This clone not only possesses attributes that surpass his own, but it can even wield the power of the rules!
What else is there to fight?
With such strong cooperation, even if the Civilization Envoy still stands on his side, the chances of winning are still slim. Moreover, the Civilization Envoy is not united with him. They are unlikely to unite in a life-or-death struggle. Wouldn't it be easy for them to kick him when he's down?

"calm down."

Chu Xiu quickly muttered to himself, "The other party must have some kind of restriction, otherwise why didn't they attack immediately?"
Just as Chu Xiu was rapidly considering various possibilities, a chill suddenly surged into his bones. He looked up and saw the tribulation lightning avatar in the distance, still wearing that mocking smile.

Are you thinking right now that there must be some kind of limitation to my use of the rules?

As soon as he finished speaking, the tribulation lightning avatar waved its hand, and the dark red mist surrounding it dissipated in all directions, revealing a body as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture. However, strangely, seven human faces grew on its body in succession!

These seven faces all had different expressions: some were violent, some were cunning, some were sinister, and some were lewd. But they all had one thing in common: they all looked exactly like Chu Xiu.

At this moment, three faces had turned into stone statues, but four faces remained rosy and radiant. The three on the sides had their eyes closed, but the one in the center was grinning menacingly at Chu Xiu with murderous intent!

This scene sent chills down his spine, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the Chiwen again.

Before he could recover from the shocking scene before him, the face on the chest of the tribulation lightning avatar closed its eyes, and then, like exchanged marbles, the seven faces shrank back into the body of the tribulation lightning avatar, leaving only a bloody, mangled hole. After a while, the faces, in a different order, filled the hole again.

This time, the face in the center was that of a lewd person, with slightly curved eyes, like a woman leaning against a balcony, striking a seductive pose. Chu Xiu never dreamed that his own features could make such an expression.

A chill ran down his spine. He roared and raised the Chiwen sword, unleashing its sword energy once more!
This time, he infused it with divine and demonic power, making it far stronger than the last time in terms of both power and aura!
However, after the sword energy was unleashed, the figure of the tribulation lightning avatar was nowhere to be seen in the distance. At this moment, Chu Xiu heard a soft, seductive panting sound, followed by another, and another! The panting grew louder and more frequent, as if countless women were caressing him.

He looked up and saw that the once cold and hard steel frame of the Starship was now melting before his eyes, and from the molten iron, one after another, silver-white women were born, their figures extremely alluring, shuttling and dancing in the air.

"Little tricks."

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, realizing that the other party had probably activated the rules of lust. His consciousness was empty, and what he saw was nothing but a mere fantasy.

He focused his mind, and sure enough, the illusions soon disappeared, and the sounds around him subsided.

But then, the faint laughter of the tribulation lightning incarnation rang out again:

"Many people believe that the rules of lust are nothing more than an attack on the mind, and that as long as one has a strong will, one can remain undisturbed by them."

"But if it were really that simple, how could it be called a rule?"

"True desire resides in your heart."

As the voice of the tribulation lightning incarnation faded, Chu Xiu felt his heart suddenly stop, as if it had been gripped by a giant hand, followed by a sharp pain!
At the same time, his chest began to expand outward, as if something was about to burst out of his heart!

Chu Xiu was shocked. This feeling was so real, completely different from the previous temptations of women!

"Hallucinations, all hallucinations!"

Cold sweat beaded on Chu Xiu's forehead. His divine sense still detected nothing, but the sensations became increasingly real. He could even feel one, no, several lives growing and thriving inside his chest cavity, feeling sharp claws tearing at his flesh, ready to burst out of his chest at any moment!

"Humans have seven emotions and six desires. In normal times, these are just desires hidden deep in people's hearts. However, under the influence of the rules of passion, these desires that only exist in personal feelings can be transformed into physical forms."

"Abbreviation—"

"The Six Desires Demon!"

Chu Xiu's eyes widened suddenly, his bloodshot pupils bulging outwards!

The next moment, a withered, black hand suddenly pierced through his chest!
With a sharp shriek, a terrifying, black-faced ghostly figure, still dripping with saliva, tore open his chest and crawled out!
