Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

So, although the Awakened were eventually expelled, the [Exorcist] civilization also suffered heavy losses, with a significant number of casualties.

And don’t forget, this is a world extremely rich in Yin Qi, exceptionally suitable for the birth of Ghosts!

The souls of these numerous fallen strong ones, under the nourishment of special arrays and Yin Qi, transformed into ferocious Fierce Ghosts and finally evolved into Ghost Kings of the [Heroic Spirit] tier!

Under the leadership of the Ghost King, the entire world experienced an uprising, and all Ghosts began indiscriminately slaughtering any living beings, while the deceased living beings transformed into new Ghosts!

In this relentless pursuit, in less than ten years, the [Exorcist] civilization, which originally had a population of over a hundred million, was completely extinct.

This catastrophic disaster left even Chu Xiu, this Demon Cultivator, somewhat emotional—a vast civilization vanished just because of human invasion.

But this is also a characteristic of the human race.

As ordinary people, they possess a strong empathy, but as the power they can control grows, they become more indifferent, more arrogant—this has always been the case throughout history.

Only a few can maintain understanding and empathy for the lower tiers while in high positions; these individuals are often respected Sages and heroes.

And if power is like this, then extraordinary power that can change the essence of life is even more likely to lead one astray.

In the eyes of many High Tier Awakened, they no longer see ordinary people as their kindred; they regard themselves as some kind of higher existence.

Even slaughtering tens of thousands of people is merely a flick of a skill for the powerful [Heroic Spirits].

"In summary, the [Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace] world was devoured by the Abyss, and reappeared last month during the Awakening Trial," as Chu Xiu pondered, the voice of the host also resounded.

"Everyone is aware that worlds devoured by the Abyss have a different flow of time. According to initial investigations, the [Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace] has self-evolved in the Abyss for over two hundred years. Can you imagine how many new Ghosts could be born and nourished in a span of two hundred years, and how strong existing Ghosts could become?"

"Moreover, its position in the Abyss has descended to a deeper tier, with stronger Abyssal Power making the concentration of Yin Qi in the [Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace] even denser than before, elevating the world’s level to Level 6!"

"This means that, in terms of the quantity, quality, and tier of Ghosts, there has been a comprehensive and substantial increase compared to before!"

"Additionally, the lost [Exorcist Civilization] and the Secret Treasures on the three dead [Heroic Spirits] are a massive fortune, quietly awaiting discovery by a destined person!"

As the host’s words concluded, one could feel the enthusiasm of the audience below being obviously stirred.

The host also seized the opportunity to add the final touch!

"Another extremely important point is that due to the general lack of good means to deal with Ghosts among the initial tier Awakened, there were heavy casualties during the world conquest mission. Of the top thirty contributors, only seven survived! Of the top three, only the second place survived! The one with the most [Anchor Points] perished along with the boss in the end!"

The host didn’t need to explain further; everyone present understood what this meant.

This means extreme scarcity of [Anchor Points]! And the scarcity of [Anchor Points] means a significant reduction in competitive pressure, which greatly boosts the resources each person can acquire!

At this point, everyone fully understood why an [Anchor Point] could even appear as the final auction item!

Chu Xiu also swiftly made up his mind.

Without a doubt, this world is extremely suitable for him.

But that doesn’t mean it has no drawbacks. The foremost being the excessively high price, and Chu Xiu knew he must pay a considerable price to secure it.

Next, the Level 6 world level, as well as potentially being attracted by abundant resources [Heroic Spirit] powerhouses, all indicate an increase in the risk factor, which does not align with Chu Xiu’s previous planning for steady development.

However, he only considered it for a moment before making a firm decision.

He must secure this Anchor Point!

The tremendous opportunity is right in front of him, and he will not shrink back because of this little risk!

That wouldn’t be called cautious, but timid!

Almost instantly as Chu Xiu made up his mind, the auctioneer’s hammer also fell!

"Starting bid, fifty billion!"

Fifty billion!

With the highest starting bid in the venue, a series of gasps were heard in the boxes, the Xu Family Patriarch shook his head with a wry smile: "With a starting bid of fifty billion, it seems this [Anchor Point] is prepared for Heroic Spirits, people like us King Tiers..."

"One hundred billion."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Xiu’s calm voice resonated within the box.

"..."

The box fell into an eerie silence, only the increasingly heavy breathing of a few individuals remained.

"One, one hundred billion?"

The two Patriarchs widened their eyes, questioning their ears.

The net worth of an ordinary King Tier Awakened generally hovers around ten billion. Even a High King Tier would only have an asset of two to thirty billion.

If there’s no particularly massive opportunity, only a top King Tier, or a family head like them, could accumulate wealth over ten years to amass an asset scale exceeding one hundred billion!

And Chu Xiu, with a word, offered a hundred billion, and from his calm expression, his real worth is, in all likelihood, far beyond this figure!

"If this person is not mentally deranged and quoting randomly, then..."
