Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

"But the majority of the Awakened, even though they have signed a defense agreement with us and draw our salary, fled towards the outside of the city at the first sight of that gigantic rift."

"There are also the bodyguards of the rich, the lackeys of capitalists, who would rather escort a vehicle full of high-value goods than stay here to protect civilians."

Vengeance sighed lightly, "I don’t blame them. We are not in a position to ask others to sacrifice themselves. It’s just a bit lamentable."

"The times are changing. As the number of Awakened who liberated us from the Dark Era dwindles, Awakened are gradually losing their faith. Some have even begun to miss that lawless Dark Era."

"The Outer Realm Demon behind the Extreme Dao, although it has only recently started to act, its ideology has long taken root in many people’s hearts."

Zhao Jie fell silent once more.

When he was born, it was right at the end of the Dark Era. Life domestically was relatively stable, but now and then, news of terrible atrocities from abroad would reach him.

In those times, feudalism and slavery revived completely, with just one core principle: Might makes right! Especially in the Fallen Area, Awakened could slaughter civilians indiscriminately without facing any punishment. To them, ordinary people were no different from pigs or dogs.

Fortunately, Huaxia Land never lacked heroes. Even in the darkest days, the proportion of Fallen Areas never reached 30%, and it was the earliest country to end the Dark Era.

"With three Celestial Kings present, even if they wanted to, what could they do? Do the laws enforced by the four divisions rely on reasoning?" Zhao Jie sneered.

Vengeance sighed, "That’s why they need to rely on the Outer Realm Demon..."

Zhao Jie suddenly looked up, "Senior, do you mean..."

"Exactly," Vengeance nodded slightly, "I suspect some people are dissatisfied with the Celestial Kings ruling over them and want to overturn the current status quo!"

This statement astonished Zhao Jie, leaving the Heroic Spirit frozen in place!

Someone intends to overturn the current order! Which means... challenging the Celestial Kings!

His expression turned extremely serious in an instant. He originally thought Vengeance invited him to Jiang City just to find some overly cautious youngster, but it turned out this was the true motive!

And those qualified, with the ambition to challenge the Celestial King...

He dared not think any further.

"Senior, what do we do now..."

"Keep an eye on that little guy Chen Ce," Vengeance mused, "For some reason, the Outer Realm Demons seem particularly interested in him. They would even go so far as to orchestrate an Abyss invasion for him."

"It seems this little guy harbors secrets unknown to us."

"If I’m not mistaken, there’s likely already a Heroic Spirit lurking in Jiang City!"

"Controlling a Heroic Spirit involves more than just a simple slave mark; capture this person, and useful information is sure to follow."

"Next, I want you to track this person with all your might!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Jie nodded, removed the glasses from his face, revealing a lean visage.

And as he took off the glasses, his pupils turned completely white in an instant! Deep in his eyes, mystical runes flickered.

...

On the other side, until he completely blended in with the returning crowd and ensured no one was following him, Chu Xiu finally felt at ease.

However, to be safe, he still remained vigilant.

With a swift movement, he arrived at a secluded corner, took out the Gladiator Badge, and decisively activated the teleportation.

He planned to hide in the Bloody Arena for a while to truly feel safe.

A few minutes later, as the familiar dizziness washed over him, Chu Xiu found himself in the ancient and imposing arena.

A hundred-meter-tall Blood Attendant knelt on the ground, seemingly asleep.

Chu Xiu’s sudden appearance startled it awake; it slowly turned its head, and although its face remained expressionless, Chu Xiu sensed a feeling of surprise.

"Are you ready to participate in the fight?"

A thought transmitted over.

Chu Xiu shook his head.

The Bloody Arena was a place of great opportunities, not only offering SSS-level Blessings but also allowing the exchange of Legendary and even Mythical Artifacts and Equipment.

However, there was no urgency. This arena encompassed the top fighters from countless worlds, and while it’s simpler at the Fierce Tier due to fewer participants, at the General Tier the difficulty skyrockets. Chu Xiu dared not underestimate the top talents from other worlds.

He intended to hone his powers to the fullest before attempting a challenge.

"The master is waiting for you."

Leaving these words, the Blood Attendant lowered its head again.

Chu Xiu casually found a spot to sit, used a recovery artifact, and began to quietly restore his condition.

Three days later, it was the agreed date for the trade with Vengeance and the others.

Chu Xiu, having restored most of his condition, did not hesitate. His body gradually became ethereal.

When he landed again, he was already in the Corpse Demon World.
