Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 284: Chapter 169: Demonization Attribute

With the activation of [Perfect Refining], nearly two billion worth of materials in front of Chu Xiu began to slowly fuse. The refining techniques comparable to a top-tier Artifact Refining Master ensured that every fraction of value of these materials was perfectly utilized.

Just like the foundational inheritance of the other two paths, the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array also possesses strong continuous upgrading potential.

Even though Chu Xiu spent nearly two billion in astronomical prices, the current materials only barely met the refining requirements of the lowest Ninth Grade Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array.

If it weren’t for Chu Xiu having [Perfect Refining], it would be impossible to refine it; ordinary Demon Cultivators would typically spend more than double and face the risk of failure!

According to the description in his inherited knowledge, this equivalently valued Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array can only be used to enhance Fierce Tier equipment. To enhance General Tier, it needs to reach ”Middle Third Grade,” which is Sixth Grade and above.

As for power, it was simply described as ”barely usable,” making Chu Xiu uncertain.

”Oh well, I’ll know once I refine it and try it out.”

Chu Xiu didn’t think much more and concentrated fully on the refining.

An hour later, a drop of cold sweat emerged from his forehead.

Artifact refining is indeed a physical task requiring delicate control over every detail. Even with the assistance of [Perfect Refining], it was not easy.

Just like that, Chu Xiu immersed himself fully in artifact refining, and several more hours passed.

When the moon rose above, he finally let out a long breath and stopped.

By this time, Chu Xiu was completely drenched in sweat, as if he had been battling countless Abyssal Monsters for a day and night, his face full of exhaustion.

Yet in his eyes, there was an unconcealable look of excitement!

In front of him, eight flags emitting a mysterious azure light floated quietly.

”Finally refined it!”

A flicker of anticipation crossed Chu Xiu’s eyes. Despite feeling somewhat exhausted, he didn’t pause at all and unlocked [Meat-Eating Magic].

He was eager to try out the power of these two inherited combinations!

As eight thousand Inheritance Points were consumed, the First Layer of [Meat-Eating Magic] was unlocked.

The First Layer can add [Demonization] attributes to Fierce Tier [Perfect] or lower equipment.

It so happened that among the ten rings Chu Xiu currently had, four were [Perfect], and six were [Treasure], making them very suitable for experimentation.

He took off a [Perfect] ring.

[Ring of the Cyclops: Constitution +15, Spirit +5, Nerve Reaction +3.]

The Cyclops is a mythical creature said to foresee the future, and this equipment has inherited a portion of its divine power, providing quite good auxiliary attributes.

Of course, since rings and other small accessories have attributive bonuses far less than main equipment like armor and weapons, they can only provide additional benefits to Chu Xiu as of now.

And as [Meat-Eating Magic] activated, a faint demonic qi gradually rose from the ring, revealing brand-new attributes.

[Ring of the Cyclops: Constitution +19, Spirit +7, Nerve Reaction Speed +4, upon approaching the enemy reduces their nerve reaction speed by -11, self-receives +1.4 Demonic Energy Invasion per second]

The new attributes made Chu Xiu show a thoughtful expression.

Firstly, naturally, was the increase in basic attributes, with Constitution increased by 4 points and Spirit by 2 points, a growth of nearly 30%.

This should be the enhancement effect of the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array.

With this artifact, Chu Xiu no longer needs corpses. By infusing mana into the Nether Fire Array, he can stimulate a flame similar to corpse fire to enhance the equipment.

As for the additional attributes, they should be thanks to [Meat-Eating Magic].

”The added attributes of [Demonization] are already quite good for a ring, yet it incurs demonic energy invasion upon being equipped,” Chu Xiu frowned slightly.

1.4 of demonic energy invasion is neither much nor little; the first level of Demon Energy Implantation has 25 points, and once polished, it’s 45 points.

And with Chu Xiu’s current constitution, he can almost ignore this damage and use Demon Energy Implantation indefinitely.

Chu Xiu self-assessed that with his current Golden Flesh and Nether Bone Fourth Layer constitution, he should handle about 70 points of demonic energy invasion before his body’s recovery ability gives out, starts bleeding, and he will need to use Golden Embryo Origin for recovery.

The most deadly part is that even if it doesn’t exceed the limit, it will affect Chu Xiu’s body’s self-healing speed, lowering his endurance in prolonged battles.

However, Chu Xiu believes that this kind of damage is acceptable compared to the powerful attributes provided.

Thus, he hesitated no more and began enhancing all his equipment.

Under the top-tier talent of [Perfect Refining], within half a day, all of Chu Xiu’s equipment excluding the [Legend] ones had been enhanced.

This collectively increased his basic attributes by 143 points and added thirteen demonic attributes.

These demonic attributes altogether increased his demonic energy invasion by 20.2 points, greatly reducing Chu Xiu’s self-healing capability. However, the various attributes provided were exceptionally strong, like a corrosive halo that damages upon approaching enemies and effects similar to frenzy potions, sharply boosting his strength.

If quantified, it would roughly equate to an increase in fighting strength akin to boosting his Constitution by 150 points.

And these are merely from [Perfect] and [Treasure] equipment, so the attributes provided aren’t particularly immense. Once [Meat-Eating Magic] advances to the Third Layer and can enhance [Legend] equipment, his strength will soar again!

However, this round of enhancement also consumed over half the energy Chu Xiu had painstakingly replenished.
