Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 270: Chapter 164: Sin Punishing Demon Saber

Chu Xiu focused his energy and began to examine his own inheritance.

First was the automatically unlocked Supreme Demon Lord inheritance.

[Saint Sect Corpse Refining Manual: Records three special corpse refining techniques collected and improved by elders of the Saint Sect, each with immense power and high growth potential.]

It was actually a corpse refining inheritance!

However, Chu Xiu had already anticipated this, as he had discovered that the primary combat methods of the [Supreme Demon Lord] lineage relied on the two inheritances of [Soul Banner] and [Corpse Refinement].

By comparison, the Soul Banner leans more towards spellcasting, while Corpse Refinement leans more towards physical attacks.

Now that the Soul Banner already had a clear upgrade path, it was natural for new inheritance to appear in the Corpse Refinement Dao.

Chu Xiu immediately began to examine it with anticipation, soon showing a pensive expression.

This inheritance is an advancement from the previous Corpse-Driving Technique.

The biggest drawback of the Corpse-Driving Technique was that the refined Resurrected Corpse could not continue to grow or be refined, only able to restore a maximum of sixty percent of the corpse’s power from when it was alive.

Moreover, this was just a Low Tier inheritance, with poorer effects on higher tier corpses!

Now when Chu Xiu resurrects General Tier corpses, their power is greatly reduced; for baron and Blood Angel corpses, achieving even thirty percent of their power from when they were alive is difficult!

And if resurrecting King Tier corpses, achieving ten percent would be considered lucky.

Therefore, although this inheritance seems powerful in description, it indeed has its limits.

To further enhance it, various types of corpses must be refined into a unified form.

The three methods recorded in the [Saint Sect Corpse Refining Manual] are the three most perfect structures discovered by many Demon Sect elders after thousands of years of research and summarization.

These three structures might not necessarily be the strongest in combat but have the greatest potential, capable of easily advancing to General Tier, King Tier, or even higher!

When Chu Xiu reaches a higher level, he can unlock more advanced corpse refining techniques.

He looked down and saw that the three structures were briefly named [Iron Armor], [Flying Heaven], and [Poison Claws].

These aptly describe the characteristics of the three corpse refining types: the Iron Armor Corpse is impervious to weapons and possesses tremendous strength, the Flying Corpse can travel a hundred thousand miles in a day with incredible agility, and the Poison Claw Corpse is toxic and has extreme armor-piercing attack capabilities.

Description suggests these three types of corpse refinement have exceptional combat power, making them almost impossible for cultivators of the same tier to handle once refined.

As for the refining method, it is normally quite complex, requiring finding a place rich in Yin Qi, burying the corpse and related spiritual materials, using a special array to refine it for forty-nine days, and so on...

But if one learns [Corpse Fire Tempering], it becomes much simpler, needing no extra materials, only using the corpse fire generated by burning flesh and blood to complete the refinement of the three types of corpses.

This made Chu Xiu realize once again that the three inheritances indeed had many complementary aspects with each other, but the previous demon cultivators did not have such straightforward and crude cheating methods as Cause and Effect Points, nor did they have a large number of Abyss creatures who would not increase their blood debt to kill, so they simply did not have the energy and resources to cultivate all three inheritances at the same time.

After a little thought, Chu Xiu didn’t hurry to refine the corpses but first checked the remaining two inheritances.

[Meat-Eating Magic (Duo Bao Demon Venerable): The fundamental method of artifact refining in the Saint Sect, ”Purifying the Primordial Qi” second part, based on ”Corpse Fire Tempering” and in conjunction with the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array, can ”demonize” equipment, adding an extra special attribute.]

[Note: This method can only be used after mastering ”Corpse Fire Tempering” and possessing the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array. The higher the level, the higher the level and quality of equipment that can be demonized.]

[True Sin Punishing Demon Saber (Innate Divine Demon): Condenses a demon saber for combat, consuming ”Golden Embryo Origin” obtained through ”Golden Embryo Nurturing” to condense the True Demon Saber with immense power.]

[Note: When the Golden Embryo Origin is insufficient, it can be replaced directly by one’s ”Lifespan”.]

These two new inheritances made Chu Xiu’s eyes light up.

He found that as the inheritance progressed, the connections between the inheritances became closer, unlike before when they were mostly independent.

And these two inheritances were both extremely useful!

[Meat-Eating Magic] can directly add an attribute to equipment, and Chu Xiu checked; as long as this method is cultivated to the third layer or above, [Legend] equipment can be demonized!

This naturally made Chu Xiu think of the corrupted equipment possessed by corrupted Awakened, whose [Corruption] increases the power of the equipment by almost a grade! Based on the description in the inheritance, the effect of demonization will only be stronger!

Even if he doesn’t demonize [Legend] equipment, enhancing the dozen or so [Perfect] and [Treasure] equipment he has would still be worthwhile.

In recent battles, Chu Xiu obtained a large amount of Fierce Tier equipment, and those suitable for him had naturally been kept, such as the various rings on his ten fingers that restored energy or increased basic attributes.

Although the effects of these pieces of equipment are far inferior to [Legend], so Chu Xiu didn’t pay much attention, but when fully accumulated, they form a considerable power, and if all are demonized, it would amount to adding a dozen extra attributes, whose total added effect would not be inferior to one piece of [Legend]!

This made Chu Xiu extremely expectant.

Unfortunately, he hasn’t even mastered the fundamental [Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array] of this inheritance, so he can only put it aside for now.

”I need to elevate the priority of the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array,” Chu Xiu thought to himself.

With his mind set, he shifted his attention to the last inheritance.
