Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Multiple Tactics

”Boom!”

As the Cause and Effect Points were consumed, Chu Xiu opened his eyes and vanished from the spot in a flash!

Without any hindrance, he perfectly adapted to the Great Success Mist Step. This is the power of the Cause and Effect Points!

The panel appeared in front of him.

[Mist Step]

[Skill Level: Great Success (1/200)]

[Release Consumption: 0.15—2.25 (increases with Charging Time)]

[Charging Time: 0.15s—0.65s]

[Power: 1150J—17250J]

[Duration: 0.15—0.8s]

[Cooldown Time: 0.15s]

After achieving Great Success in Mist Step, while the consumption decreased, the effect enhanced once again!

When fully charged, it can release up to 17250J of energy within 0.8s!

What does that mean?

Now, after consecutive upgrades, although Chu Xiu’s appearance hasn’t changed much, his weight has increased significantly, reaching 120kg, plus 50kg of Heavy Armor, totaling 170kg. That’s the weight of a bona fide super heavyweight!

And the Great Success Mist Step can directly send this heavyweight ten meters into the air!

Moreover, the minimum energy for movement requires only 0.15s for instant speed!

This caused Chu Xiu’s agility to skyrocket once more!

And almost at the instant the upgrades were completed, the Elite Corpse Demon opposite him completed all of its transformations. With a roar that echoed throughout the parking lot, a brand-new creature emerged!

The Elite Corpse Demon had undergone a complete transformation, growing larger to nearly five meters! The layers of its bony shell thickened further, resembling a giant wrapped in bone-heavy armor. The swinging hammer of its right arm shattered, transforming into a retractable chain hammer, and the sharp claws of its left arm connected with a bone chain, becoming shootable hook claws!

This is a monster maxed out in both attack and defense!

[008 Type Corpse Ghost Mutation (Elite)]

[Tier] Warrior Tier Level 1

[Attributes] Constitution 57.9, Spirit ?, Energy Level ?

[Skills] ???, ???, ???

[Traits] ???, ???, ???

[Talent] Tough Skin (Skin Protection +9.5, Insulation Effectiveness, Acid Resistance, and Shock Absorption all significantly enhanced), Reserve Energy (Energy Level +55.0, can consume energy to quickly heal injuries and restore physical strength.), ???

With a constitution as high as 57.9 and numerous unknown skills, traits, and talents!

Moreover, the original talents have also been upgraded! Now, the skin alone has a defense boost of +9.5! Considering its original attributes, it’s estimated to be comparable to Chu Xiu’s Heavy Bone Armor in defense!

However, this level of power evolution is still within Chu Xiu’s calculations!

Almost at the instant this monster completed its advancement, five Yin Ghosts lurking around simultaneously let out shrill cries, and Chu Xiu pointed forward. The next moment, six huge gray wind blades heavily struck the large Corpse Demon!

Chu Xiu had already anticipated the timing; therefore, these six Yin Wind Blades were all fully charged with the strongest strike!

Moreover, because the Elite Corpse Demon couldn’t move at the instant its evolution completed, these six Yin Wind Blades, with a power up to 9.0 at a Lesser Success level, all hit the weakest defensive areas!

In an instant, the high-speed rotating wind blades tore open the skin of the Elite Corpse Demon, and a large amount of thick, ink-like blood flowed out, leaving six wounds three to four centimeters long on the Corpse Demon!

However, although these six injuries looked terrifying, they were merely surface wounds and didn’t reach the core!

”Roar!!!”

The evolved Heavy Armor Corpse Demon roared in anger, turned, and pounced towards the attacking Yin Ghosts, simultaneously swinging out hook claws and chain hammers with both hands!

With its extremely high constitution, this colossal Corpse Ghost possessed agility completely incongruent with its size, and the targeted Yin Ghost had no time to dodge!

At the critical moment, Chu Xiu waved the Soul Banner, and the bodies of the five Yin Ghosts quickly became transparent.

Trait [Soul Body]!

”Boom!”

The chain hammer passed through the transparent body of the Yin Ghost and smashed heavily into the concrete wall behind it, creating a large pit!

Even though they entered the Soul Body State, Chu Xiu could feel that the Yin Ghost hit significantly weakened!

But this was within his expectations, and even the Yin Ghost dangling in front of him was a decoy he had prepared in advance!

In the instant the large Corpse Demon targeted the Yin Ghost and swung the chain hammer, Chu Xiu, who had been charging power behind a load-bearing pillar, suddenly kicked back with his right leg! The Great Success Mist Step burst forth at maximum power, shooting him out like an arrow!

A huge energy of 17250J was entirely converted to kinetic energy within 0.8s, and combined with Chu Xiu’s own muscle power, his speed soared to a very high value in a very short time!

He leaped over more than twenty meters, using the sprint’s kinetic energy, twisting his waist and thrusting with strength transferring from his thighs to his arms, channeling all his force into a fierce thrust!

While the Elite Corpse Demon was still targeting the decoy Yin Ghost, Chu Xiu’s Bone Spear had already pierced its lower back!

Trait [Armor Piercing]!

”Chhh!”

With a dull thud, under the huge impact force, even skin as tough as steel could not withstand, and more than half of the Bone Spear penetrated the Corpse Demon’s body!

”Roar!!!”

The Corpse Demon roared again, this time with clear pain interwoven with anger!

Trait [Soul Piercing]!

The most powerful effect of the +10 Perfect Bone Spear provided, directly delivering a heavy blow at the soul level to this giant beast!

This was the confidence Chu Xiu had to dare challenge this monster!

The piercing sound of the wind howling around his ears, yet the enraged monster directly swung back at Chu Xiu! He crouched his body, withdrew the Bone Spear, and retreated. The Mist Step activated once more, his body flexibly dodging to the side like a ghost, evading the strike.

Moreover, blood continuously flowed from the wound caused by the Bone Spear, with a bizarre bluish-black hue spreading along the wound.

Trait [Bleeding]! Artifact [005 Type Corpse Ghost Venom]!

Of course, compared to the massive body of the Warrior Tier Corpse Ghost, this amount of bleeding and toxin seems insignificant, but evidently, this monster was already exhausted from prolonged combat, and any attack might be the last straw that breaks its back!

Chu Xiu understood this, using the Mist Step to quickly maneuver around the Warrior Tier Corpse Ghost, continuously attacking with his Bone Spear and Retractable Tail Spike!

Under the continuous attacks from both, the Elite Corpse Demon soon had several more wounds, and toxins began accumulating continuously in its body!

Simultaneously, the five Yin Ghosts, in their Soul Body State, unleashed the [Life Absorption] skill, continuously absorbing the Warrior Tier Corpse Ghost’s life force!

Chu Xiu could feel that under his multifaceted tactics, although it wasn’t visible externally, the Corpse Demon’s actual movement speed and power were significantly impacted!

Now, its actual displayed constitution was far from 57.9, only around slightly over 40!

With that level, Chu Xiu’s Great Success Mist Step could barely handle it!

He was like a calm and seasoned hunter, constantly adjusting his position, each attack a precise touch-and-go, never risking greed, only accumulating a negligible advantage with each strike, waiting for time to bring down his formidable foe.

However, just as Chu Xiu thought the monster was about to falter, suddenly, a strange red light flashed in its eyes!

The next moment, the cyst behind it used for storing energy began violently contracting! As if extracting the very last drop of energy!

Through the wrinkled surface, one could vaguely see inflated blood vessels underneath, injecting some kind of green liquid into the Warrior Tier Corpse Ghost’s body!

And as the green liquid infused, its muscles began visibly bulging, the Exoskeleton Insect Armor on its body even started cracking due to its inability to contain the continually expanding muscles!

A message flashed before Chu Xiu’s eyes.

[Skill: Excessive Hormones (an evolved skill of Power Burst, capable of significantly enhancing strength, reaction speed, life recovery ability, reducing pain perception, with a longer duration, but will lead to a weakened state after the effect ends)]
