Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 143: Chapter 118: Devouring All Resources, 20,000 Cause and Effect Points!

”Swish!”

Chu Xiu’s figure swiftly flew over the city, the demonic wings spread behind him, resembling a giant eagle seeking its prey, cutting through the skyline of the urban area.

Soon, he spotted a Corpse Demon hiding in the bushes. Chu Xiu retracted his wings and dove down rapidly under the force of gravity!

”Bang!”

The Corpse Demon’s body was directly shattered by the powerful impact of Chu Xiu’s physique, turning into a massive blood mist!

At the same time, the death of the Corpse Demon alarmed the Warrior Tier in the area. It roared and charged, but before it could even see Chu Xiu, its head was blasted apart by a punch!

The death of the Warrior Tier triggered a large-scale riot, with nearly the entire region’s Corpse Demons swarming towards the location!

Chu Xiu smiled faintly and waved the Yin Wind Banner, immediately unleashing a horde of Ghosts, who madly slaughtered the nearby Corpse Demons!

The Corpse Demons were sliced into pieces by sharp claws, their deceased souls were imprisoned, and their flesh was devoured by the Resurrected Corpses under Chu Xiu’s command to fill their integrity.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu himself set his sights on the Fierce Tier rapidly approaching him!

The Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand materialized behind him. Chu Xiu vibrated his wings, fearlessly charging forward!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

With several deafening explosions, in less than ten seconds, the Fierce Tier, possessing formidable life force, was smashed into flesh by the terrifying power of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand’s triple burst.

[Professional Experience +346]

[Item Acquired: Cause and Effect Points *266]

With the sound of the prompt, the smile on Chu Xiu’s face grew wider.

Just as he had said before, the Blood Symbiosis talent, when he was weak, served as a sanctuary among the Corpse Demons. But as he grew stronger, it became the perfect monster-gathering cage!

”And currently, only I have the strength to easily slay Fierce Tier creatures.”

”Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for devouring all these resources!”

With this thought, Chu Xiu led the Ghostly Legion, mercilessly slaughtering his way through.

He started from the city’s outskirts, methodically cleansing inward, encountering almost no resistance along the way.

Especially after Chu Xiu discovered that his large-scale hunting did not attract the attention of the Corpse King, he became even more reckless.

Under such circumstances, whether it be experience, Cause and Effect Points, or the size of the Ghostly Legion, everything skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!

He was like a bulldozer, leading the massive Ghostly Legion, leaving devastation in his wake.

In each region, there was roughly one Fierce Tier and ten to twenty Warrior Tiers, with a reasonable chance of encountering Elites among these Warrior Tiers.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn’t have the time to consume all these Warrior Tiers; he could only roughly search. Some Corpse Demons hidden in places like sewers, residential buildings, and corners were left out.

However, even so, Chu Xiu typically managed to clear at least half of them.

He also discovered that the government had organized many Awakened individuals, specifically to follow behind him and scavenge the leftovers.

For other Awakened, these Corpse Demons, devoid of Fierce Tier protection, were undoubtedly a huge resource! Compared to the solitary and risky hunts they usually planned for, this was far safer and more efficient!

Thus, a peculiar scene occurred: Chu Xiu blazing a trail at the front, and every time he eliminated a Fierce Tier in an area, swarms of Awakened individuals would rush in as if they had detected the scent of fresh meat.

He even recognized quite a few familiar faces among them.

This left him speechless with laughter.

However, strong individuals like Qingshan and Ye Junlin chose not to do this; instead, they started teaming up to hunt Fierce Tiers.

While patrolling the skies, Chu Xiu saw a rare group of over a dozen High-Grade Warrior Tier professionals banded together, fully prepared with traps, heavy weapons, retreat strategies, and more.

As Chu Xiu approached, he could see the incredibly tense expressions on their faces, seemingly terrified of the possibility of crashing into him and undoing all their efforts.

This made Chu Xiu chuckle quietly to himself, but he couldn’t be bothered to compete with them, so he shifted his focus to another region’s Fierce Tier, diving down without any hesitation!

Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand: Triple Burst!

With the added speed of high-velocity flight, he unleashed a punch!

”Bang!”

The Corpse Demon below exploded before it could even react!

Killing a Fierce Tier, why make it so complicated?

For Chu Xiu, such ordinary scenes appeared in others’ eyes like a terrifying story.

As they watched the Fierce Tier that was smashed to pieces with a single punch, they were dumbfounded.

No way, it was a seconds kill?

Yesterday, you still had to pretend and fight a few rounds! How come today you just one-shot it?

Damn, is it that your leveling speed is too fast, or were you always hiding your power?

Seeing everyone else’s carefully prepared efforts to deal with the Fierce Tier, even the prodigies felt numb.

For some reason, though just a wild boss, their self-esteem was inexplicably affected.

At this moment, the high-level Awakened individuals held only one thought in their hearts:

”Too terrifying!”

”Fortunately, we weren’t foolish enough to attack it.”

”If we had really fought, the ones being smashed would have been us.”

Of course, Chu Xiu wouldn’t know these thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

At this time, he was concentrating on hunting the other Fierce Tiers.

In fact, not every Fierce Tier could be killed instantly; occasionally, he would encounter those agile types of Fierce Tiers or those with extremely strong defensive turtle shells.

This made him spend a bit more time.

Under this focused hunting, in just one morning, he killed seven Fierce Tiers, and countless low-tier Corpse Demons!

If he solely focused on killing Fierce Tiers, he could have killed at least double the amount, but doing so would consume energy too quickly, so it was better to spend some time having subordinates clean up low-tier Corpse Demons.

After all, these numerous Corpse Demons’ bodies and Life Souls were extremely useful, and they were the main source of loot!

By cleaning a region, he could easily harvest over a thousand Cause and Effect Points! And the exploded Equipment was countless!

With this, Chu Xiu continued sweeping along his path, and it wasn’t long before his Storage Pouch was stuffed full.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xiu decisively decided to use four thousand Cause and Effect Points to unlock the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, and then, relying on the blood and flesh scattered across the ground, refined this Secret Treasure.

Subsequently, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the space of the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch was extremely large and could continuously devour flesh and expand!

Under such circumstances, he didn’t have to worry about storage problems at all. He could even store all the Mortal Tier, those [Ordinary] and [Standard] low-grade Equipment and Artifacts.

On Blue Star, Mortal Tier Equipment was not much cheaper than Warrior Tier, and these could fetch a great price back home.

With joy in his heart, Chu Xiu was even more motivated in his sweeping action.

By the afternoon, due to much energy consumption, his gains were a little less, only killing six.

But even so, the mass clearing of Corpse Demons doubtlessly caused Chu Xiu’s Level to soar directly!

[Level Up!]

[Current Level: Warrior Tier Level 8]

[Level Up!]

[Current Level: Warrior Tier Level 9]

In just one day, he directly leveled up to Full Level!

After reaching Full Level, killing monsters no longer granted experience; continuing to grind would be somewhat wasteful.

Theoretically, leaving the remaining monsters to other Awakened could maximize utilization.

But, so what?

Is he the type to care about others?

After a night’s rest, the next day, Chu Xiu unhesitatingly threw himself back into the grind!

After leveling up twice, his grinding speed increased once again.

Additionally, among the massive equipment exploded, quite a few sped up energy recovery, and now all ten of his fingers were fully equipped with Energy Recovery Rings, while he casually drank restorative potions like they were sugary drinks.

Thus, in his frenzied slaughter, Chu Xiu successfully cleared all Fierce Tiers three kilometers away from the central tower before nightfall.

At this point, the quantity of Equipment and Artifacts in his Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch had reached an astonishing extent!

”Three pieces of [Perfect], with one from a Fierce Tier, over thirty pieces of [Treasure], and as for Fine... I’m too lazy to count, surely into the hundreds.”

Meanwhile, the scale of his Demon Legion had expanded to a terrifying extent!

Over a hundred Fierce Ghosts, over three hundred Yin Ghosts!

This massive scale even forced Chu Xiu to refine an extra Evil Soul Banner, as one couldn’t contain them all.

As for the Resurrected Corpses, there were fewer, since controlling so many Ghosts already exerted tremendous mental pressure.

He only selected top-tier meat shields for refinement, totaling five, each no less than a Silver Knight! And by devouring the scattered corpses, all were maxed out in Integrity!

But even so, there were still large amounts of bodies with no use, so Chu Xiu simply used Corpse Fire Tempering to enhance Bone Spears and remaining Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails.

Of course, the greatest gain from killing so many monsters was naturally the vast amount of Cause and Effect Points.

Even after deducting four thousand points to unlock the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, he still had over twenty thousand points!

This almost made the smile on Chu Xiu’s face split apart.

But this was reasonable since of the thirty-some Fierce Tiers in the whole central district, others killed only four at most; the low-tier Corpse Demons may have had more kills by other Awakened, but still didn’t surpass Chu Xiu.

With resources almost entirely his, if he still lacked Cause and Effect Points, then others really wouldn’t need to play.

So Chu Xiu stopped thinking, directly spent eighteen thousand points, bringing Golden Embryo Nurturing to Perfection, and Demon Energy Implantation to the Second Layer!

Full-level Golden Embryo Nurturing made Chu Xiu’s Constitution soar another fifty points! And his meridians strengthened, allowing him to frequently use multiple Mana output while unlocking a quadruplicate Mana output mode.

In this mode, the power of Magic increased to an astonishing +150%!

Now, Chu Xiu felt that even if he discarded all fancy Skills, just the most basic Constitution Attribute alone far surpassed same-level S-Class Close Combat Professions.

As for higher SS and SSS, he hadn’t encountered them and there was no online data, impossible to judge, but Chu Xiu thought he shouldn’t be weaker than them at least.

And he still had the terrifying Demon Energy Infusion skill...

With Second Layer Demon Energy Infusion, all stats further improved, and upon activation, Chu Xiu felt like a demolition team: a casual punch would explode with a ”boom,” and the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand could even smash down a small building with a punch!

”The Third Layer of Demon Energy Infusion requires twenty thousand Cause and Effect Points.” ”This figure, I can basically never gather again, but given such great cost, the eventual enhancement must be quite considerable.”

”Which is to say, I’m basically at my strongest form short term now.”

”In that case...”

Chu Xiu glanced towards the distant central tower, a slight smile curling at his lips.

”Why not just clear the Corpse King today?”
