Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

He immediately discovered the other party faced his Demon Sword attack calmly, remaining motionless, yet his Divine Sense locked onto each of his attacks precisely.

Thus, Chu Xiu pretended to be disturbed by the Celestial Demon, unable to control his Power, allowing the Demon Sword to scatter randomly around, enabling the Ghosts to quickly form an array.

Originally, Chu Xiu just wanted the Ghosts to encircle and probe, further gathering information to find that opponent’s deeply hidden weakness, but then he was shocked to discover the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation completely undefended against the falling Demon Sword!

This shocked him greatly because if the other party was entirely his replica, they should know he could hide Ghosts in Demonic Qi.

Two Ghost Kings and two Ghosts at the pinnacle of combat memory, cooperating under the blessing of Soul Chain, is not a combination to be taken lightly.

Not to mention, in his current [Void God Mode], all Power is converted to Soul Power, naturally enhancing the [Soul Chain]’s Effect, boosting these four Ghosts to an unprecedented level! Though still not rivals for Chu Xiu’s true form, they shouldn’t be entirely ignored, right?

Yet, the opponent seemed completely unaware of this move; those Divine Senses didn’t even scan inside the Demon Sword!

Chu Xiu knew himself well; he would never be careless enough to make such a mistake. Even with absolute confidence in dealing with the Ghosts’ encirclement, he would never let his Divine Sense not scan at all, having no awareness of defending against this move.

The only possibility is that the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation doesn’t know Chu Xiu has this Ability!

So, does this indicate... it might not possess his complete Memory?

At that moment, a moment of inspiration came to Chu Xiu, and he thought of a question.

The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is his replica, but how does the Abyss replicate him?

Logically, this shouldn’t be a concern; the Abyss’s great power is unimaginable, able to revive even extinct historical entities, so replicating a mere Heroic Spirit should be effortless, right?

Yet, somehow, Chu Xiu’s mind randomly conceived a thought: the Abyss can revive historical figures through the ability to datafy everything, easily reproducing a piece of data, but there’s datafication reduction indicated in his Tribulation.

Could there be a possibility that the Abyss cannot directly extract data from the "database" to replicate him, requiring further means to replicate him?

This conjecture itself holds no significance; regardless of how the Abyss replicates, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation stands before Chu Xiu.

However, an extended conjecture is crucial: if the Abyss requires certain conditions for replication and cannot instantly replicate, but needs preparation in advance, then it possibly replicated Chu Xiu from a previous timeline rather than when he entered the Trial?

This would explain why there’s a discrepancy in information between the two sides.

For some reason, an image flashed in Chu Xiu’s mind at the moment of Core Formation when the "Tribulation Thunder" appeared to obstruct him.

"Abyss... Tribulation Thunder... could it be at that time?"

Could the Abyss have replicated him before Core Formation? After Core Formation, the Tribulation Thunder, serving as the Abyss’s "limbs," vanished, so the Abyss could no longer replicate him?

This wild idea is entirely unsupported by evidence, purely self-conjectured, yet it struck his mind like lightning, dispelling the mist within!

Because this unfounded conjecture perfectly explains why the opponent hadn’t defended against the hidden Ghost technique in Demonic Qi; it was something achieved after forming the [Flawless Golden Core] with greatly enhanced control over internal Mana!

Possessing the Flawless Golden Core, Chu Xiu’s internal Mana circulates seamlessly, not only directly boosting the power of Divine Techniques and Arts but also allowing operations previously difficult to realize.

This also explains why the opponent never actively attacked; initiating combat would immediately expose that its true power, albeit still above Civilization Envoy, couldn’t surpass Chu Xiu! The brink of defeat would be risky!

Though the Six Desires Celestial Demon is formidable, Chu Xiu’s Tribulation Body completion is beyond forty percent, coupled with experience in defying rules, not hindering even momentarily.

With such a fatal weakness, instead of direct action, triggering Tribulation and employing God’s corpse ambush is safer; any scenario with Chu Xiu is perilous and he might be forcibly exited with the [Free Deep Dive Scroll]!

At this point, he recalled something else.

In his previous clash with the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, Chu Xiu was in a suppressed position, so he assumed the opponent had the Abyssal Power enhancement upon replicating his base.

But now, with doubt, Chu Xiu realized the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s Energy Level surpasses him, but its precision in controlling Divine Techniques lags behind him! The opponent likely leveraged Rule Power, perhaps through [Rule of Transformation], becoming a race enhancing Divine Technique Power.

This is why, despite overwhelming superiority, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation actively changed combat tactics; faking a gap in strength was better to sway Civilization Envoy than risking exposure against Chu Xiu further!

Thus, everything aligned, and Chu Xiu decisively launched a Ghostly Legion encirclement to verify his conjecture, which indeed yielded the expected result!

Since the replica was from before Core Formation, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s [Myth] Equipment Power was directly restricted to King Tier! The [Imperial Five Dragon Crown] Shield was like a paper shell! Meanwhile, Chu Xiu in [Void God Mode], gained a substantial increase in enhancement from the [Nether Chain], truly landing a successful hit!

Although the [Divine Living Weight Armor]’s durability doesn’t depend on its Tier, preventing heavy damage in one strike to the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, it at least validated his conjecture.

"Since knowing the opponent’s weakness, then next—"

"It’s the decisive moment!"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes; suddenly, his whole Soul Body exploded!

A terrifying Power surge violently shook the Celestial Demon’s form, while Chu Xiu’s Core took the opportunity to detach!

Equipped with experience in defying rules, he had long established a defense at his Soul Body’s perimeter using Divine-Demonic Power and Artifact Origin, deftly detonating those temporary Life Energy-formed Soul Bodies, successfully stalling the Celestial Demon momentarily, reminiscent of his previous explosive escape method!

His Core Soul Body surged out unscathed from the explosion, as a complete physique quickly shaped in mid-air!

Given Chu Xiu’s current physical strength, even consuming the Golden Embryo Origin, it’s impossible to possess such rapid healing Speed, yet what he employs now is the Rule Power transformed during previous Tribulation! Under the Law of Life, his form shaped almost instantaneously! Meanwhile, his presence simultaneously peaked!

The next moment, immense, ocean-like Frenzied Sword Qi descended from the sky, like a world-ending Energy flood, pouring down toward the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation!
