Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

As a General Tier inheritor, its inherent power is already a step higher than the True Sin Punishing Demon Saber. Chu Xiu had also cultivated the Divine-Demonic Foundation, elevating its might even further. Not to mention, after advancing to General Tier, Chu Xiu also received an additional 50% Class Bonus to the Foundation Establishment Divine Techniques’ power!

The combination of these three factors raised the power of this divine technique to an astonishing level. It could be said that as long as it is invoked, even a top King Tier Awakened like Qin Xiang would not be able to hold on for long under Chu Xiu’s hand!

In fact, the thousand-meter Martial God phantom that was just displayed was only a result of Chu Xiu using one-sixth of his power because he didn’t want to attract too much attention. It only appeared to be showy without substance, hence exhausting its energy just by annihilating a few hundred insect beasts.

If Chu Xiu were to exert his full strength, although he couldn’t shatter the entire rift with a single strike like Vengeance, he could at least wipe out one-third of the abyssal creatures!

Of course, that would be too astounding. Such unprecedented talent, far surpassing everyone else, might even move the Celestial King!

However, although Chu Xiu outwardly displayed only one-sixth of his power, he actually exerted himself fully when mobilizing demonic qi, depleting not only his mana but even consuming all of his Golden Embryo Origin.

The remaining five-sixths of the demonic qi was entirely accumulated around him.

Because Chu Xiu discovered that the demonic qi’s ability to change form and corrupt or demonize objects made it an excellent barrier against investigation.

Ordinary investigation skills would be greatly disrupted by demonic qi, and even a cultivator’s divine sense would be blocked by it!

Chu Xiu’s main body was hidden within the complex sewers, enveloped entirely by five-sixths of the demonic qi in this area. At the same time, he also activated the Qi Concealing Technique and Thought Overwrite while deploying High Tier demonic creatures to guard every passage.

This level of concealment was such that even a Heroic Spirit scouting profession might not find him for a while!

It was precisely for this reason that he had the confidence to make a move.

This operation also gained him considerable rewards, leveling up twice to reach General Tier Level 3, enhancing his strength once more. With just one more level, he would unlock a new inheritance.

"This way, I should be able to enjoy some peace in the short term," Chu Xiu mumbled to himself before his figure flickered and vanished completely, leaving only boundless demonic qi spreading around.

Almost less than a minute after Chu Xiu left, a strong wind suddenly dispersed the dense demonic qi in the sewer, and a figure appeared in the spot where Chu Xiu had just been.

It was a scholarly-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

At first glance, he seemed quite ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that although he was skinny, his posture was remarkably upright, and explosive muscles could be seen through his white shirt as though carved by a knife.

He scanned the area, his gaze finally resting on the spot where Chu Xiu had previously been sitting cross-legged. A golden eye suddenly opened on his forehead.

"This kid sure has something special; no wonder Vengeance values him so highly."

Shaking his head, the man’s figure flickered again, appearing on the street in a manner akin to space travel, and with another flash, he was beside Vengeance.

"How is it?" Vengeance, floating in midair, looked down at the entire Jiang City.

"I was a step too late. The kid’s divine technique is quite mysterious; even my Eye of Past and Future couldn’t fully penetrate it." The glasses-wearing man said, suddenly smiling, "I’m actually impressed he thought of hiding in the sewer. It’s the first time I’ve realized that even a small city’s sewer can be so complex."

Vengeance also laughed, "Jiang City has developed quite a bit. Now, with subway construction, cable laying, underground parking lots, and malls occupying underground space, there are also many shelters. It’s no wonder it’s complex."

The gold-rimmed glasses man asked, "Do you need me to use my Talent to track him?"

Vengeance shook his head, "No need. Confirming that the kid made a move is enough; your talent is too detrimental to your body, and there are more important tasks to handle."

The glasses man nodded, paused for a moment, then said, "Was it Extreme Dao’s doing?"

"It’s still unclear. Although it seems that only the Outer Realm Demons behind them have the ability to manipulate an abyssal invasion, however..." Vengeance seemed to have thought of something, his gaze deepening.

"What’s wrong?"

"Zhao Jie, do you think every Extreme Dao agrees to serve as a slave to the Outer Realm Demons because they failed in their trials?"

Vengeance’s words left Zhao Jie slightly stunned. Adjusting his glasses, he replied, "From the current intelligence, that’s roughly the case, but there are indeed a few ’traitors’ causing trouble under the guise of Extreme Dao."

"Traitors..."

Vengeance gently chewed over the term.

Every Awakened, upon completing their awakening trial, would make an oath not to break the law, to protect their homeland, and to safeguard innocent civilians.

But with extraordinary power, would they really be willing to be restrained by the same laws as ordinary people?

Before the abyssal invasion, wealthy people were already seeking privileges, let alone Awakened who could fly to the sky and travel through the earth?

Lowering his gaze, Vengeance watched the soldiers clearing away the insect beast corpses in the distance and said faintly, "Zhao Jie, do you know how many Fierce Tier and above High Tier Awakened came to Jiang City during this abyssal invasion?"

Zhao Jie was momentarily surprised, but before he could reply, Vengeance continued, "20%, only 20%."

Zhao Jie thought for a moment and said, "Maybe most of the Awakened are in the Abyss..."

"No," Vengeance shook his head, "The 20% I’m talking about are the ones presently in Jiang City."

Zhao Jie remained silent.

Vengeance continued, "The King Tier and General Tier Awakened came in relatively large numbers because they know we’re here and have the confidence to retreat at any time."
