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

Chapter 86 Chu Xiu's Real Plan!
"I have to admit, you have every right to be proud of pushing me to this point."

From the deep crater created by the impact, came the mocking voice of the embodiment of suffering. His body made cracking sounds as the pain energy gathered by countless villagers around him poured into his body, causing his injuries to heal at an astonishing speed, and far more than just heal!

The distorted flesh begins to harden, turning into a hard shell like armor plates covering the injured area. The broken bones heal and become thicker and longer. The special distortion forms a suspension bridge-like reinforced structure, layer by layer covering the surface of the bone, allowing the bones to support even greater forces.

The embodiment of agony rose from the crater, its body even larger than before it was injured, as if it were wearing a perfectly fitting full-body armor. Countless mutated flesh crawled onto its face, like worms or patches made with a stapler, making its already distorted face even more ferocious.

With a slight flick of his right arm holding the bone spear, Chu Xiu, who weighed a full two hundred kilograms including his armor, flew far away like a light, airy doll!
"Oh!"

He crashed to the ground. If it weren't for the energy-absorbing effect of the bone armor, that one blow would have been enough to distort him!

What's worse is that the period of weakness hasn't passed at all! His current physical condition hasn't even recovered to half its original level!
Conversely, after undergoing a new round of positive mutation, the Pain Incarnation evolved once again, with all its attributes leaping forward!

This is the abnormal ability of a boss-level enemy: if it is not killed in one wave, it will continue to evolve and become stronger!
"It seems the outcome has been decided."

Amidst the devout prayers all around, the embodiment of suffering calmly and unhurriedly approached Chu Xiu.

In the distance, the trial participants who still held a sliver of hope and watched from afar were completely disheartened, and Jiang Xue, who was rushing towards this place, also stood there in despair.

They originally thought that Chu Xiu was just a blindly arrogant fool, and they only hoped that Chu Xiu could buy them a few more seconds to escape.

But what happened next shattered their understanding. They never imagined that a mortal-level awakened being could be so strong!
Those two demonic arms were power that no ordinary awakened being could possess! Even the terrifying Avatar of Pain couldn't withstand them! And Chu Xiu's true form was also incredibly strong in both speed and power!

Even Jiang Xue was stunned, and even felt that Chu Xiu was stronger than her sister!
This gave them a glimmer of hope, and when Chu Xiu brutally beat the Avatar of Pain, that hope reached its peak. They could almost hear the notification sound indicating that the trial was over.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.

Pain, embodied in an almost invincible skill, once again dragged them into the abyss.

"Mortal, you do have some skills, but no matter how strong you are, can you overcome pain?"

The embodiment of suffering bathed in the offerings of the surrounding residents, its face filled with enjoyment.

"I was born of pain, and as long as pain does not disappear from this world, I will exist forever."

"When we began our battle, I had already started gathering my followers, and they are my inexhaustible sustenance!"

"What a pity, mortal. If you hadn't become a follower of other extraterrestrial demons, I might have spared your life."

"but now"

The embodiment of suffering walked up to Chu Xiu, who was in a weakened state, raised his large hand which was covered and reinforced by layers of mutated flesh, and revealed an evil smile.

"I will slowly tear off every piece of your flesh and crush every inch of your bones."

"I will savor the taste of your pain."

As he spoke, His raised hand was about to fall!
However, at that moment, He suddenly paused.

Because He did not see the fear he expected on Chu Xiu's face, but instead saw a faint hint of mockery.

"Do you think I'm so oblivious that I wouldn't notice those fools sneaking up on me?"

As Chu Xiu finished speaking, the pain-infused body sounded alarm bells and unhesitatingly threw a punch!
"boom!"

The enormous fist crashed down, creating a deep crater in the spot where it landed, but Chu Xiu simply leaped backward and easily dodged the attack!
"You" pain incarnate was a little incredulous, wondering why Chu Xiu, who was clearly in a weakened state, could still move so fast!
But he quickly realized that it wasn't Chu Xiu who had gotten faster, but rather he himself who had slowed down!
He turned his head in horror, only to see that countless pale, bony hands had emerged from the ground and were tightly gripping his body!

"What is this thing?!" The embodiment of pain exclaimed in shock and anger.

Chu Xiu's mocking expression deepened. With a wave of his hand, more bone hands rushed out, and at the same time, blood-red light shot into the sky from all eight directions of the entire square!
Eight banners of the White Bone Blood Devouring Array appeared in the air.

"Do you think you're the only one who can gain power through sacrifice?" Chu Xiu said with a faint smile.

The embodiment of suffering looked on in horror and then noticed that as the villagers were mutilating themselves, the dripping blood was silently disappearing into the earth, as if it had been absorbed by some kind of power!
In fact, this was Chu Xiu's strongest backup plan!
Since the Demon Eye only detected some of the skills, Chu Xiu was certainly not naive enough to think that as long as he had a strategy to counter those few talent skills, he could win easily.

He knew from the very beginning that the other side had a lot of hidden cards!
Therefore, Chu Xiu's real battle plan was to sacrifice the entire village in exchange for the ultimate power of the Bone Blood Devouring Array!

"Do it!"

With a loud shout from Chu Xiu, the elite Yin Ghosts who had infiltrated behind a group of suffering believers while Chu Xiu was fighting emerged. A huge Yin Wind Blade shot out, like a three-meter-long blood-red gear, instantly slicing more than a dozen villagers in half at the waist! Blood splattered as the elite Yin Ghosts stepped forward and easily crushed their heads, ending their suffering.

Meanwhile, the five trial participants who had left earlier reappeared and began to slaughter the surrounding villagers! This was the task that Chu Xiu had whispered to them earlier!

Compared to the Yin Ghosts, their methods are cleaner and more efficient, killing with a single blow to the brain, quickly eliminating the villagers while minimizing their suffering!

Countless drops of blood flowed out, staining the entire square crimson, but the blood was quickly absorbed, leaving only dark red patches in place.

The corpses of the believers withered rapidly, turning into enormous nutrients that nourished the Bone Blood Devouring Array! With the sacrifice of countless lives, the Bone Blood Devouring Array emitted a dense crimson light, which even condensed into a pillar of blood that shot into the sky!
The entire sky was dyed dark red, and the range of the White Bone Blood Devouring Array rapidly expanded. From the initial one hundred meters, it enveloped the entire village in just a few breaths. Countless pale bone hands stretched out, as if countless hellish souls were dragging the body of the embodiment of suffering, pulling it towards the abyss!

"How is this possible?! How could you also gain power from sacrifice??? Who are you?!"

The embodiment of agony roared in disbelief, struggling to break free from the skeletal hands' restraints, while its limbs slammed into the ground, crushing one skeletal hand after another.

But more skeletal hands reached out and gripped His body tightly!

Chu Xiu did not answer. He simply vanished from his spot in a flash. His weakened state had completely disappeared, and the Berserk Demon Hand, possessing terrifying power, reappeared behind him!
"boom!"

The two clashed head-on once again! The newly upgraded Pain Transformation Body had improved again. Although it was still not as good as the Berserk Heavenly Demon Hand, it was not as far behind as before. However, the powerful effect of the White Bone Blood Devouring Array slowed down his speed to the same level as Chu Xiu!
The two clashed repeatedly in the square, each punch generating a tremendous shockwave that kicked up clouds of dust!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening crash echoed through the square. The two seemed evenly matched, but the embodiment of pain grew increasingly agitated, while Chu Xiu became more and more at ease.

He expelled the remaining evil spirits to slaughter the surrounding believers. He didn't chase those who still knew how to escape, mainly because it was a waste of time and reduced the efficiency of the killing.

In any case, most of the people in this village have become completely obsessed. Even when the claws of the evil spirits are about to fall on them, they still don't care and continue to pray while destroying their own bodies.

Such a person is no different from being dead.

As large numbers of believers died, the energy of the Pain Incarnation gradually became unreplenishable, while the blood-sucking binding effect of the Bone Blood Devouring Array grew stronger and stronger!
Just then, Jiang Xue finally ran over from the church, carrying the body of the Fire Elder, and threw it forcefully into the square!
"Chen Ce, here you go!"

"Pfft."

The corpse of the Fire-Sacrificing Elder fell into the center of the Bone-Devouring Blood Array.

This was the extra task Chu Xiu had given her before!
Chu Xiu stopped attacking and instead dodged while activating his Perfect Refinement talent to refine the corpse of this elite warrior, merging all the essence of its body into the Bone Blood Devouring Array!

Pain manifested and roared as it lunged at him, its body undergoing another transformation, covered in protruding spikes, as if it had been forced to unleash another hidden skill.

But the binding force of the Bone Blood Devouring Array grew stronger and stronger, and no matter how frantically it went, it couldn't touch Chu Xiu!

"boom!"

Dozens of blood-red beams shot into the sky, turning the air crimson. Countless white bones burst from the ground, crawling out of the earth. They roared and crawled, like countless vengeful spirits returning from hell, turning the vast square into a purgatory paved with bones!
The embodiment of suffering, bound by layers of white bones, gradually fell into the abyss of bones, and for the first time, fear appeared in the eerie green eyes of the demon.

“Extraterrestrial Demon, you are a high-ranking extraterrestrial demon! You should not appear at this level, you have violated the rules!” He roared.

"Perhaps." But the only response he received was Chu Xiu's three indifferent words.

The next moment, the berserk demon hand suddenly blasted out!
"Oh!"

The twisted head of the embodiment of agony exploded like a watermelon, and countless agonizing shrieks of the dead burst forth from his body!
