Chapter 555: Chapter 268: Power Boost (Part 2)

"With a battle array composed of so many Ghosts, it should be able to withstand the Heroic Spirits," Chu Xiu smiled.

The cooldown period was over, and with a single thought, Chu Xiu entered the Corpse Demon World.

As the surrounding space changed dramatically, when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the cave where he had closed himself off before.

Before rushing into a transaction, Chu Xiu generally inspected his civilization.

After eliminating the religious brainwashing, a large number of truly talented individuals were unearthed. With the collaboration of the Huaxia Government’s management and guidance, everything was well-organized and steadily improving. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

There were even specialists who taught them advanced scientific thoughts and guided the Awakened in their cultivation paths.

Chu Xiu glanced at the panel; both the civilization development index and evolution index had greatly improved. After more than half a year of accumulation, the Civilization Points even reached 7.8 points. Considering that the accumulation rate of Civilization Points was only 5.7 points per year when the civilization first arrived, it shows the rapid development of the civilization during this period.

In some time, he could attempt to unlock items from the Civilization Library.

Having a clear understanding, Chu Xiu swiftly proceeded to the transaction location.

With the new year, the new Cause and Effect Points exchange quota has been refreshed, which was also the reason for his rush back.

With this quota, he could gather enough Cause and Effect Points to upgrade the last layer of Demon Energy Soldiers.

The transaction went smoothly, he handed over equipment and materials obtained from the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World, as well as those two unused Legendary Equipment, the Giant Sword and Gloves.

This batch directly filled the new year’s Cause and Effect Points exchange quota, yielding fifty-three thousand Cause and Effect Points!

Coupled with those accumulated by directly killing monsters, Chu Xiu’s total Cause and Effect Points exceeded seventy thousand points!

He also acquired many High-Density Life Energy artifacts to restore the Blood Demon Incarnation. Together with Chu Xiu’s Perfect Refining, it should restore the Blood Demon Incarnation to the strongest state within a week.

After obtaining what he needed, Chu Xiu couldn’t wait to retreat into closed practice.

This time he didn’t go to the wild, but stayed in the camp. In case of an accident, he could intervene directly, although this short guardianship would only last for ten days or so; after finishing the upgrades, he would leave.

"Why does it sound like a father who works abroad all year round and only occasionally accompanies his children?" Chu Xiu humorously shook his head.

Without further thought, he took out the Cause and Effect Points.

Start adding points!

As a large amount of Cause and Effect Points were consumed, a massive amount of Demonic Qi inadvertently leaked from Chu Xiu’s body, becoming increasingly solid. Numerous weapons emitting icy rays appeared around Chu Xiu, quickly deconstructing and restructuring.

Each reconstruction made them more solid and sharp than before.

But soon, this enhancement reached a limit.

Actually, when achieving the Sixth Layer of Demon Energy Soldiers, Chu Xiu realized this issue; he seemed to have touched the ceiling of this technique, unable to cause a qualitative change in the strength of Demon Soldiers regardless of practice.

But now, under the catalysis of massive Cause and Effect Points, a realization suddenly rose within him.

Instead of relentlessly enhancing the cohesion of Demonic Qi, he began focusing on the specific arrangement of each wisp of Demonic Qi when forming weapons.

Over-hardness leads to brittleness; a newly-forged longsword would easily break if used directly, requiring quenching to significantly improve the metal’s strength, toughness, and fatigue strength, making it a qualified weapon.

Quenching doesn’t change any substance but causes changes in the metal’s internal organization structure during rapid cooling, making the molecular arrangement more orderly with fewer defects, thereby attaining greater strength!

Even understanding this principle, truly achieving it is extremely difficult. All Chu Xiu can do is continuously practice, enhancing his mastery over the Demonic Qi!

One hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, two hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, one million Cause and Effect Points... six hundred ten thousand Cause and Effect Points!

Finally, after investing six hundred ten thousand Cause and Effect Points, the quantitative change seemed to trigger a qualitative change, causing an extremely terrifying aura to surge from within him!

Chu Xiu sharply opened his eyes as vast Demonic Qi surged out, capable of engulfing an entire city block in a few breaths, yet at this moment condensed within a small room, continuously coalescing! The overwhelming energy waves were repeatedly surging within this narrow wooden room, without leaking a trace!

And once the waves calmed down, a set of deep black armor had appeared on Chu Xiu.

"Is this the highest realm of Demon Energy Soldiers!"

Joy flashed through Chu Xiu’s eyes; he could sense that after achieving the Seventh Layer, the physical strength of Demon Soldiers doubled! And still retained the feature of thousand changes!

Now, Chu Xiu didn’t need to rely on any Equipment at all; even casually conjured Demon Soldiers had Basic Attributes stronger than the Same Tier [Legendary]!

What’s more, the qualitative change brought by Perfection far exceeds this!

With a mere thought from Chu Xiu, the pitch-black armor seemed to merge into his body just like water into the sea, without any obstruction!

This is where the true qualitative change occurs after achieving the Perfection of Demon Energy Soldiers!

By altering the organizational structure of Demonic Qi, all Demonic Qi can integrate into Chu Xiu’s body in a special way, not only greatly enhancing the total amount of Demonic Qi he can store but also equating to an internal layer of subcutaneous armor. The reaction speed of Demonic Qi when under attack directly took a leap!
