Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

"Thud!"

The creatures fell to the ground, seeming to be strange beings made of steel and stone.

Chu Xiu glanced over and chuckled softly, "Interesting."

Soul bodies tend to disintegrate easily and require substantial Yin Qi for continuous nourishment. It seems the creatures here have fashioned material of this world into ’flesh bodies’ to survive in areas with low Yin Qi concentration.

The peculiar beings before them are likely transformed from the residents of this deceased city.

"Though these are just little ghosts of the Mortal Tier and Warrior Tier, their large quantity shouldn’t be wasted."

Chu Xiu waved his hand, and ghosts surged out from the Soul Banner, rushing in all directions.

Beside him, Jiang Miaoyin looked on with slight envy. There were certainly millions of wronged souls in the city back then, now fattening under the nourishment of Yin Qi, a grand tonic for soul-type professionals.

Having already negotiated conditions, she naturally said no more, only pointed below. A great amount of Instantaneous began to change shape, entering the ruins, and in an instant, their bodies hardened and expanded, creating a downward path with just a blink.

Numerous green Instantaneous delved deeper into the channel, clearing rubble and reinforcing it. The path stretched longer, as if being built anew right before him.

Additionally, dozens of Instantaneous spontaneously combusted, hanging on both sides like streetlamps.

"Your Curse Spirits are quite versatile," Chu Xiu couldn’t help but praise.

Jiang Miaoyin laughed, covering her mouth, "These versatile Curse Spirits, this young woman has four more. If senior is interested, you may look for me to chat in detail later."

Chu Xiu didn’t respond, flying into the constructed path.

The path was tremendously spacious, as if built for giants, walking within it, Chu Xiu felt insignificantly small, as though stepping into a giant’s realm.

The smooth stone walls on either side appeared to have murals painted long ago, but through the ages, these murals had blurred, and the stone walls had become pitted and bumpy.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu raised his eyelids and looked to his side, where a massive fissure appeared in the stone wall, dozens of meters long, like a menacing scar.

As he went further, similar fissures multiplied, on walls, ceilings, and floors, densely scattered everywhere, gradually accompanied by bloodstains and white bones. It seemed a fierce battle took place here long ago.

Chu Xiu scrutinized the strange skeletons, which had four limbs but clearly differed greatly from humans. Their average height was around four meters, the skull size large compared to a human, with upward ribs resembling a guardrail protecting the cranium.

"So this is the image of the Exorcist Civilization."

Chu Xiu kept walking forward, the traces of battle grew denser, white bones littered everywhere, fully intact, shattered, even crushed, along with corpses of bizarre creatures.

Finally, Chu Xiu reached the path’s end.

Here, countless white bones piled up like a small mountain blocking the exit, mixed with sand, forming a wall exuding a modern artistic vibe.

Chu Xiu could picture the scene: panicking residents pushing each other, fleeing towards the path’s end, a child tripping only to have ribs crushed by the stampede behind. Despite stepping over companions’ corpses, none escaped death.

In just a moment, their flesh and blood had been fully stripped away.

"Soul-type creatures possess unique combat methods; most physical attack effects are greatly diminished."

"Senior surely has a way to cope, right? The guardian Holy Spirits are said to be ferociously strong, this young woman can’t handle them."

Jiang Miaoyin shrank behind Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu didn’t answer, just waved his hand, blasting away the obstructing bones at the entrance.

He then strode deeper.

After passing through the path, he entered a pitch-dark, immeasurably vast hall.

Through the burning glow of Instantaneous, one could only faintly see dozens of massive pillars, each needing a hundred men to encircle, supporting the hall. At the hall’s end seemed to be an ancient altar with several blurred figures lying nearby.

It’s not that Chu Xiu’s perception ability wasn’t strong enough, but the hall was cloaked in palpable darkness, even flames couldn’t penetrate.

Moreover, upon entering the hall, Chu Xiu felt the atmosphere turn chillingly cold.

This chill wasn’t a physical cold nor Yin Qi corrosion, but an instinctual cold ingrained in genes, akin to shivering involuntarily when watching a horror film.

It felt as if unseen shadows concealed a tremendously terrifying monster.

Chu Xiu wasn’t careless, releasing his Divine Sense, and after advancing to General Level, its maximum reach had expanded to three kilometers.

Of course, to enhance the precision of the Divine Sense, he only spread it within a five-hundred-meter radius around himself.

Almost instantly, upon releasing the Divine Sense, Chu Xiu detected a swiftly approaching figure!

"Hmph."

The Great Sun Guard Shield appeared in front of him, its dawning sunlight scattering every darkness, leaving behind only a blurred shadow over ten meters long!

"Clang!!!"

Chu Xiu felt a tremendous force on his arm, the Great Sun Guard Shield bore three immense scratches, deeper and it would have pierced through!
