Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 261: Chapter 161: Ghost General and Hundred Souls Banner

”Roar!!!”

Under the expectant gaze of Chu Xiu, all the blood evil condensed and digested by the Fierce Soul Banner surged towards the center, transforming into a blood-red cocoon tightly enveloping the Fierce Ghost formed by the Blood Angel.

And as the power of blood evil was absorbed, the aura emanating from it grew increasingly strong!

Suddenly, as if reaching a limit, the entire Soul Banner erupted in chaos, with one Fierce Ghost after another spontaneously gathering beside the cocoon, screaming sharply!

It seemed like some core power was extracted from these Fierce Ghosts and infused into the cocoon. As this force was drawn away, the aura of over a hundred Fierce Ghosts was significantly weakened, yet a miraculous connection was established with the creature within the cocoon.

Supplemented by this core power, the Fierce Ghost transformed from the Blood Angel experienced an explosive surge of aura as if imbibing a potent tonic!

”Boom!”

With a low rumble, the blood evil forming the cocoon was completely absorbed, leaving behind an empty pale shell, which lightly shattered on the spot, birthing a powerful and ferocious soul from the fragments.

Su Jinyu, beside Chu Xiu, turned abruptly, cautiously looking at the Fierce Soul Banner. Though she couldn’t see the circumstances within, she could still sense the fierce and evil aura!

Chu Xiu smiled faintly, shaking the Soul Banner, instantly manifesting a massive shadow in midair. The fierce and violent aura spread across the scene without the slightest reservation!

In the next moment, the shadow solidified into a physical form, and a colossal ghost four meters tall appeared before the two of them.

It no longer resembled a Fierce Ghost with sharp bone spikes and a sinister face; instead, it took on a form closer to human appearance, albeit much larger than an ordinary human, with bluish-purple skin, an expressionless face, clad in ancient dark blue heavy armor, and wielding a three-meter-long heavy hammer in its right hand.

The heavy hammer and armor were sparsely decorated, but the rough, thick armor plates and the long, thick spikes on the warhammer emitted an aura of primal ferocity, akin to a War God emerging from blood and fire in ancient times.

[Ghost General]

[Tier] General Tier Level 1

[Attributes] Constitution 0, Spirit 972.8, Energy Level 1508.5

[Skill] Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique (Can command subordinate ghosts to form a battle array, significantly enhancing the main body, possessing different combat styles in both physical and soul body states)

[Traits] Ghost General Body (Greatly reduces physical damage, gains an additional 100% power boost for magic cast, receives a high life recovery bonus after solidifying into physical form.)

[Talent] Manifestation (Transforms into physical form, Constitution +2176.4), General’s Weapon (Upon manifestation, attains different weapon equipment according to its personality, offering extremely strong additional attribute bonuses and traits)

The terrifying panel before Chu Xiu made his eyes widen.

Merely at General Tier Level 1, after materializing, it possesses an astonishing Constitution of 2176.4!

What does that imply? An elite Blood Angel at General Tier Level 3 only has a Constitution of 1500! A Notary at General Tier Level 9 barely exceeds 2000!

What’s more, its talent comes with [General’s Weapon], which is clearly the armor and warhammer on the Ghost General. Since the weapon is brought by talent, the power of these two pieces of equipment will continually grow with the Ghost General’s level!

But even at merely General Tier Level 1, Chu Xiu could feel that the attributes of these two pieces of equipment already rival the [Treasure] tier gear of General Tier!

Upon reaching Level 9, there’s a high probability they might compare to [Perfect]!

”Its singular attributes alone are already extremely powerful, far surpassing elite monsters of the same tier. In such circumstances, it even has two pieces of equipment boosts...”

Moreover, the skill boost from [Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique] can further enhance its power using subordinate ghost soldiers, namely those hundred Fierce Ghosts!

”With a Ghost General leading, what was once a disorganized hundred Fierce Ghosts will form a unified whole.”

”Combined, their power... might even rival King Tier!”

Although not a King Tier Awakened, but a King Tier Abyssal Monster.

Yet even so, it’s astounding enough, considering that Chu Xiu is currently only at Fierce Tier Level 3, and ordinary Awakened in his stage would struggle to possess even General Tier combat prowess, let alone King Tier—a mark of true genius.

”As expected from the legacy of the Supreme Demon Lord’s Dao at the Foundation Establishment Stage! Not in vain for all my diligent nurturing lately!” Chu Xiu’s face revealed a sincere smile.

Additionally, Chu Xiu could sense a change in the Soul Banner after the Ghost General was born, as it established new connections with all ghostly beings through the Ghost General. Previously, it could only issue commands and relay information, but now it could transmit energy too!

He glanced down, and a brand new panel appeared before him.

[Hundred Souls Banner]

[Description: Acquired abilities ”Ghost Core,” ”General Order,” and ”Blood Feeding”]

[Ghost Core: All ghost beings leave a part of their core within the Soul Banner, even if destroyed, with ample nourishment from flesh and life souls, they can be restored.]

[General Order: Users can consume mana to issue ”Charge,” ”Hold Firm,” ”Maintenance,” etc., to enhance the basic attributes of all ghost beings.]

[Note: The more mana consumed, the stronger the effect of the General Order, applicable only when the Ghost General is present.]

[Blood Feeding: Consumes essence blood, greatly boosting the basic attributes of all ghost beings in a short time.]

[Evaluation: After transforming the Hundred Souls Banner, the Soul Banner and its ghost beings have unified as one. You only need to continue creating more ghost beings for the level of the Soul Banner to rise.]

[However, be aware that the level cap of the Soul Banner depends on the level and number of Ghost Generals within the Banner. Upon possessing ten Ghost Generals and advancing one to a High-tier Ghost General, it can progress to the Thousand Souls Banner.]
