Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Self-Detonation

To accurately predict this Corpse Demon’s next move, Chu Xiu kept his Nether Demon Eyes open, using his extraordinary dynamic vision to capture the contraction of muscles in various parts, thus deducing its next attack.

Therefore, when it activated a skill, the relevant data immediately appeared before Chu Xiu.

Excessive Hormones! An advanced skill of Power Burst!

Chu Xiu felt a chill in his heart, and before he could think of a countermeasure, the giant figure in front of him suddenly turned to face him, swiftly swinging its right arm. Accompanied by the rattling of chains extending, the end chain hammer rapidly elongated, smashing towards Chu Xiu!

Its speed increased several times over compared to before, and before Chu Xiu could react, the massive hammerhead was already before him!

The hammerhead was too quick for him to dodge backward; in the nick of time, he quickly made a decision, activating Mist Step, advancing instead of retreating as he rolled towards the Corpse Demon!

This maneuver allowed him to dodge the swiftly swung hammerhead, but the bone chain trailing behind the hammerhead struck him hard on the body!

”Bang!”

Amidst a loud bang, Chu Xiu’s figure was flung back over ten meters, crashing heavily to the ground, feeling intense pain from his right arm that was hit. Looking down, he found that the Bone Armor was cracked!

”What terrifying power!”

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but be shocked!

He realized that this battle was reaching a critical point. If he could hold out through this creature’s final burst, then victory would be his!

But giving him no time to breathe, the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon, after missing with its strike, quickly turned and charged at Chu Xiu with a roar!

Each of its steps caused cracks to appear in the concrete ground, and the massive echo made the entire parking lot seem to shake!

As he watched the accelerating form charging towards him, a fierce glint flashed in Chu Xiu’s calm black eyes.

”Hmph, how could I possibly not have prepared, given I had the leisure to wait for your upgrade?”

The Bone Banner appeared in his hand, and with a strong swing, five Yin Ghosts solidified their bodies again, leaping onto the massive body of the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon, attempting to halt its advance!

However, the Constitution difference between the two was too great, even with five Yin Ghosts attacking together, they couldn’t impact it at all. The Warrior Tier Corpse Demon swung its left arm, easily tossing a ghost to the ground, while its right arm smashed, instantly turning its legs into pulp!

A hint of distress flashed in Chu Xiu’s eyes, but his resolve immediately hardened. He swung the Bone Banner again, lowly shouting, ”Explode!”

As his voice fell, one of the Yin Ghosts clinging to the back of the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon suddenly exploded, like a high-explosive grenade being detonated. The terrifying impact directly blew a bloody big hole in the Corpse Demon’s back! The cyst storing energy was also blown to pieces in the explosion!

This was a hidden method Chu Xiu realized when refining the first Yin Ghost, that he could forcibly command the Yin Ghost to self-destruct, releasing immense energy by annihilating the soul body completely in an instant!

However, although it was said to be immense energy, in truth, its power was only roughly equivalent to two or three fully charged Yin Wind Blades, an absolute loss. He thought he would never use this skill in his life, but now he couldn’t care less!

After detonating the first Yin Ghost, he did not hesitate, yelling lowly again, ”Explode!”

The Yin Ghost whose legs were smashed suddenly leaped up, tightly hugging the right knee of the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon. With Chu Xiu’s command, its soul body instantly ruptured, releasing a massive amount of ability in a very short time, directly blasting the Corpse Demon’s knee into a bloody mess!

Though the enormous impact did not break it completely, it caused the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon to tilt and fall to the ground!

Seizing this opportunity, Chu Xiu directed the third Ghost to climb towards its head, hoping to end this beast decisively and thoroughly by self-destructing on its face all at once!

Unfortunately, his plan fell through. The Yin Ghost hadn’t climbed up yet when the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon roared and pressed it onto the ground with a claw, its body sliced cleanly into three sections by its sharp long claws.

Seeing it lose combat capability, Chu Xiu decisively commanded it to self-destruct again. This explosion left the Warrior Tier Corpse Demon’s left hand with almost no intact meat, and a large number of tendons were severed, exposing the dense white bones below.

Meanwhile, the other two Ghosts also launched Claw Strike skills, leaving two more scars on this massive body.

”Roar!”

The Warrior Tier Corpse Demon wobbled as it stood up, but Chu Xiu could see that it was already at its end.

The red glow on it was fading, and with the coming of the weakening period, the accumulated injuries, fatigue, and toxins would erupt together, directly claiming its life.

”It’s cost me three whole Yin Ghosts, this one’s toughness was somewhat beyond my expectations.”

”But, it ends here!”

”Die!”

With a chilling shout from Chu Xiu, the Bone Spear in his hand shot out, piercing directly through the Corpse Demon’s chest!

Trait [Soul Piercing]!

At the moment of impact, this gigantic creature felt like it was struck by lightning, its blood light rapidly fading. Two Yin Ghosts pounced on it, frantically tearing at its flesh, while the creature, furious, attempted a counterattack, but its bulky right arm just raised fell weakly back down!

In Chu Xiu’s Blood Moon Sense, the life flame of this monster was swiftly dimming!

Finally, under the relentless attacks of the Yin Ghosts, it wobbled once, toppled over with a resentful roar!

”Boom!”

At least a five-ton mass slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
