Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 369 - 198: Reborn Blood Demon (Part 2)
At the same time, from the melting corpses, a blood-red mist rich in the Essence of Life was extracted and absorbed into the Blood Demon.
As the Blood Demon moved within the field, using its body as the center, it absorbed the Essence of Life within a hundred-meter radius, causing its aura to increase rapidly at an incredible speed!
Seeing this, Qin Xiang was completely disheartened.
"Storing large amounts of Corrupted Creatures, leaving them on the Earth Surface to die, so that once free, there is an immediate supply of life nourishment. I didn’t expect this Calamity to have even considered this step."
Qin Xiang shook his head with a face full of reluctance but could only let out a long sigh, saying, "All we can do now is to organize the remaining Awakened to retreat, minimizing losses as much as possible."
"I’ll be in charge of blocking the Calamity, while you and your Summoned Creatures evacuate the trapped people."
"I just used a communication Artifact to send a notification, once you reach a safe environment, immediately depart and return to Blue Star!"
"This world... is beyond saving!"
Qin Xiang’s words made Chu Xiu’s eyes droop slightly, pondering over something unknown.
After a while, he looked up and said, "Don’t worry, Senior, I will make sure all the remaining people evacuate safely."
Qin Xiang nodded with relief and, without saying more, his figure flickered as he rushed toward the Calamity below.
He did not choose to confront the Calamity head-on but used his Skill to constantly delay, thus maximizing the battle time, at least holding on for another minute or two.
Meanwhile, Chu Xiu did not waste time and with a wave of his Yin Soul Banner, all the remaining Ghosts were released to rescue the trapped Awakened.
"Boom!"
A huge rock was easily shattered by the Ghost General, rescuing a trapped Awakened in the process.
The Awakened was initially filled with fear upon seeing the Ghost General, but gradually relaxed upon realizing it meant no harm.
Simultaneously, some High Tier Awakened also realized the severity and returned to assist.
Among them, naturally, Zhang Qingshan was present, though Chu Xiu was a bit surprised to see Guan Ke and Su Jinyu also coming down.
With everyone’s combined efforts, all the Awakened soon returned to Blue Star one after another.
"How’s the situation?"
A minute and a half later, a pale-faced Qin Xiang flew back to Chu Xiu’s side.
The Calamity seemed to discern his intentions and did not trouble him, merely preoccupied with devouring flesh.
The Calamity had now swallowed over a million Corrupted Creatures, with its aura having increased by at least one-tenth compared to before.
One-tenth isn’t particularly much, but considering it took only a minute and a half, it was especially monstrous.
"All the discovered Awakened have been safely sent back."
"As for those who have fallen into the cracked ground and buried even deeper... perhaps some can barely hold on with defensive Artifacts, but we neither have the ability nor the time to search and rescue them."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang sighed lightly, "Nothing we can do about that, let’s immediately withdraw."
Chu Xiu nodded, saying, "Senior, you go first, I’ll take care of the aftermath. I have Flying Summoned Creatures, so long as I maintain a safe distance, even if the Blood Demon makes a sudden move, I can leave calmly."
Qin Xiang did not insist, merely saying, "Be careful, once everyone has evacuated, return immediately."
Though having a junior stay behind made him feel quite embarrassed, he knew this was the best option for now, as his condition did not allow him to be reckless.
After reminding again, Qin Xiang initiated his departure.
Watching his figure gradually become ethereal until completely disappearing, Chu Xiu then withdrew his gaze.
However, he did not immediately return as agreed but slightly lowered his gaze, looking at the Blood Demon below with a hint of a smile.
Then with a flip of his wrist, a large amount of Cause and Effect Points was taken out from the Storage Space!
The creature before him was a Level 9 King Tier Leader! And it was in a weakened state!
With Chu Xiu’s disposition, he would certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
His objective was to single-handedly slay the Calamity!
There were three reasons he cooperated with Qin Xiang. First, he wanted to enjoy all the benefits alone. If he revealed his plan to Qin Xiang, the latter would inevitably assist.
Second, he wanted to show his teamwork side to this veteran agent of the Investigation Bureau.
The stronger the Talent, the more resources one would receive, but it would also attract more suspicion.
After all, if enormous resources are spent developing a snake in the grass, no Talent would be of any use!
Since Chu Xiu intended to steadily develop within the current order, he couldn’t always hoard all the benefits, and occasionally needed to display his "altruism".
The last point was that Chu Xiu did not want to fully reveal his own strength yet.
His Summoned Creatures Legion was already astonishing, possibly too astonishing.
A genius that surpasses others tenfold is called a prodigy, but someone who exceeds others by ten thousand times is considered a monster!
Before mastering sufficiently strong abilities, he did not want to fully disclose his Talent. Showing just enough to gain benefits sufficed, revealing everything could even arouse unfavorable thoughts among several Celestial Kings!
Though he had already overshadowed his peers, in front of true experts, he was still too weak!
With his mind resolute, Chu Xiu did not hesitate and directly absorbed the Cause and Effect Points from his palm, investing them all in the "Golden Flesh and Nether Bone"!
Earlier, as he was rescuing others, he also examined the good items from the two King Tiers.
The most noteworthy among them was naturally the large quantity of high-quality King Tier Equipment!
Both were seasoned King Tiers, having trained in the Abyss for over ten years, their worst Equipment was at least [Treasure]!
Equipment of the King Tier and Warrior Tier, Mortal Tier are two entirely different concepts, even only [Treasure] Quality is extremely valuable.
Especially Li Zhan, being the Zhang Family’s son-in-law, had half of his Equipment at [Perfect]!
As for Artifacts, there were even more of them, despite being consumed significantly in previous battles, they were still a huge resource.
However, it was unfortunate that neither carried any [Legend], hence Chu Xiu could not use this Equipment now nor convert them into resources.
"But this makes sense, how rare is a King Tier [Legend]? Naturally not something ordinary people can obtain, as for Low Tier [Legend], for High Tier Awakened exchanging it for resources is the correct approach."
In the future, when Chu Xiu reaches the King Tier, artifacts like the Vampire Count’s Wings from the General Tier legends can find better replacements.
Besides these, there were two items on these two individuals that particularly caught Chu Xiu’s attention.
[Soul-Collecting Treasure Box (Full)]
[Mountain Outpost Token (Mysterious)]
No information was directly displayed on these two items; time was pressing, so Chu Xiu did not examine them closely but instead put them away.
His real focus was the Cause and Effect Points from the two individuals!
These two King Tiers already had quite a few Cause and Effect Points, and along the way, they had killed numerous Corrupted Creatures, especially in the cave where they slain many Corrupted Buddhist Disciples, bringing the number of Cause and Effect Points to a massive figure!
Together, the two had as many as one hundred thirty thousand!
Adding Chu Xiu’s previous accumulation of Cause and Effect Points, it was close to two hundred fifty thousand! Fully satisfying the cultivation needs of "Golden Flesh and Nether Bone"!
The Blood Demon was currently madly devouring the ground full of flesh, while its aura continued to grow at an extremely astonishing speed.
This made Chu Xiu could not help but sigh, "Such rapid growth, it’s no wonder Senior Qin felt despair."
"But unfortunately..."
"My growth surpasses yours!"
Without further hesitation, a large wave of Cause and Effect Points surged into Chu Xiu’s body!
He could feel every cell in his body cheering and evolving towards unknown directions! His muscles grew stronger, bones harder, his entire body undergoing a metamorphosis!
Ten thousand Cause and Effect Points, fifty thousand Cause and Effect Points... two hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points!
Upon consuming more than 200,000 Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu merely heard a "boom", as an unprecedented powerful force surged from within him!
[Consumed 213328 Cause and Effect Points, Golden Flesh and Nether Bone Sixth Layer mastered!]
