Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 309: Chapter 178: King Tier Legend Artifact_2

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu calmed his mind.

But just as he was about to pack up and leave, a sudden idea struck him as he looked at the colonel’s corpse lying silently in the pit he had carved out.

Wait a minute.

Is it possible to refine the colonel’s corpse into a refined corpse and then fuse it with this artifact?

This idea sounded a bit absurd at first, but on second thought, it seemed truly feasible!

Firstly, the items from the Abyss are extra drops; the original items do not disappear, just like when he defeated the Silver Knight earlier, the armor of the Silver Knight dropped, but the armor on the Silver Knight still remained.

Chu Xiu didn’t understand this principle either, probably the charm of the Abyss’s [dataization].

It means the colonel at this moment has already fused with a [Corroded Micro-Nuclear Melting Furnace] once, so fusing again would have a much smaller Mutant Deviation Rate. Even if Chu Xiu guessed wrong, the colonel as a corrupted creature inherently has many [Corruption] traits; the mutation deviation is surely much lower than his.

Moreover...

Chu Xiu thought of the records about the Iron Armor Corpse in the Corpse Refining Manual.

The essence of [Mechanical] traits is actually [Metal], which is the biggest difference from ordinary creatures.

And the Iron Armor Corpse enhances the physical strength of the refined corpse by fusing a large amount of High Tier [Metal]!

If Chu Xiu could refine the colonel into an Iron Armor Corpse, the Mutant Deviation Rate would definitely be further reduced!

Another important point is that Chu Xiu can use the [Fusion Blood Plasma Extract].

This item was originally intended for fusing creatures and equipment. Chu Xiu still had two vials left, and using them would surely further increase the integrity of the fusion!

Imagine the already terrifying colonel refined into a King Tier Iron Armor Corpse, and then fused with the complete power of this [Legendary] equipment, how terrifying would it be...

Chu Xiu could hardly imagine!

”Isn’t this just invincible?”

”Even an S-Class King Tier Level 9 Awakened might not be an opponent!”

Of course, during the process of refining into an Iron Armor Corpse, the original structure and traits of the colonel would certainly be altered; how much could be retained is uncertain and would not match Chu Xiu’s ideal scenario.

But even if only 50% of the power were fused, as long as the negative buffs weren’t too severe, it would be enough for Chu Xiu to walk sideways in the King Tier.

”At that time, having a basic attribute over ten thousand isn’t impossible!”

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but get a little excited.

However, although this method has feasibility, there are also many difficulties.

First is refining the colonel into a King Tier Iron Armor Corpse. It’s known that a corpse’s power definitely decreases significantly compared to when it was alive. Like the resurrected corpses of the Baron and Blood Angels, although they have the potential of becoming General Tier refined corpses, if refined directly, they at most reach the Fierce Tier Level 9. Chu Xiu has invested a considerable amount of flesh and blood refinement, yet hasn’t reached the General Tier even now.

Refining a King Tier refined corpse, he couldn’t even imagine how much flesh and blood would be needed!

Secondly, the [Fusion Blood Plasma Extract] is also insufficient. Although he still has two vials left, they are only Warrior Tier, and the effect is too poor.

To reduce the deviation rate during fusion, he has to go back and see if the artificial intelligence at the shelter has developed a higher-tier [Fusion Blood Plasma Extract] or throw in a dozen of them at once.

He could certainly solve it directly at the source, like going to the Bloody Arena to request help from the Endless Blood Pool, since the power of the [Fusion Blood Plasma Extract] originally came from the pollution of the Endless Blood Pool, so the original source must surely have a solution.

Compared to the potentially huge gains, this effort is worthwhile, Chu Xiu believes.

Of course, if he could directly find and control a War Titan, that would be even better, but Chu Xiu didn’t think he’d have such luck.

Once decided, he raised his hand to stash all the equipment and artifacts away and intended to return, slowly refining the life souls and flesh obtained this time, while checking out the newly unlocked inheritance.

But just then, the ground trembled with a ”rumbling” sound again, obviously signifying a new batch of corrupted creatures rushing towards this side.

Although he’d thought of much in that moment, given his reflex speed, only a few seconds had actually passed for Chu Xiu.

”Truly persistent.”

However, at this point, Chu Xiu had almost exhausted his Mana and did not intend to continue fighting. Battling further would only depend on the Ghostly Legion, which had a low kill efficiency and posed greater personal risk.

If by any chance, the Calamity still had a colonel-level top-tier combat power, he might indeed overturn the car and be forced to relinquish the lifeline card of [Primordial Source Blood], akin to losing a watermelon while picking up sesame seeds.

Without further thought, Chu Xiu followed the path back. The Calamity had stationed several elite corrupted soldiers to block his way, but as the high-tier forces were cut down entirely by his single strike, they were quickly cleared by the Ghostly Legion. They hardly blocked him for long and instead added a considerable amount of resources to Chu Xiu.

Screams echoed behind him as the cave shook. Thanks to Chu Xiu’s exceptional perception ability, he could clearly sense that it wasn’t just the path he was on. All the neighboring ten or so paths were in a frenzy, with masses of corrupted creatures madly running about; their numbers easily exceeded a hundred thousand, including an elite at the Fierce Tier! They were converging on Chu Xiu from all directions!

Clearly, the underground Calamity had reached a boiling point.

Much like a gambler at the brink, making a desperate last struggle.
