Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 412: Chapter 213: Hungry Ghost Leader

It was a kind of divine golden light, not as dazzling as sunlight, yet vast, majestic, and warm like a great sun, as if it could dispel the unease and fear within people’s hearts, and more than that, it inspired a sense of deep, religious awe.

Even the soldiers who were collapsing and fleeing stopped involuntarily, staring dumbfounded at the radiant figure overhead.

As for the distant Hungry Ghosts, they seemed to sense some huge threat. The playful smiles disappeared from the faces of the Upper Position Hungry Ghosts, replaced by grave expressions of confrontation, while the Lower Position Hungry Ghosts twisted uneasily, as if wanting to flee at any moment.

This incredible scene made all the soldiers widen their eyes.

Were those Hungry Ghosts... afraid?

They had never seen Hungry Ghosts fear anything!

But now, those extremely ferocious Hungry Ghosts were afraid of a human! Even a Reincarnated Saint Monk didn’t have this means!

At this moment, a thought involuntarily appeared in the minds of all the generals who had seen Chu Xiu before.

Could it be that the person in front of them was truly the Buddha?

...

Chu Xiu gazed downward, and he was very satisfied with the expressions full of awe as if witnessing a miracle among the soldiers below.

Chu Xiu had deliberately added special effects.

Under the stimulation of the Burning Blood Golden Eyes, an awe-inspiring brilliant golden aura surrounded his body, making him radiate an unapproachable divine light, as if a true Buddha had been reincarnated.

Convincing a civilization is very difficult.

No matter that he immediately demonstrated absolute power, the ruler’s first reaction would still be doubt, vigilance, and even resistance.

This is because people instinctively resist suddenly appearing foreign entities.

Chu Xiu, of course, could easily conquer all opponents with absolute power.

However, the risks and costs would be too high. The Buddhist Sect, realizing his danger, might outwardly comply while secretly stirring chaos, greatly adding uncertainty to the mission.

After all, it wasn’t just about eliminating enemies; he also needed to safely bring everyone here back to the Corpse Demon World. Violently shaking this world’s ruling structure might create unforeseen problems.

The best way was to use the existing religion here.

”But with my current power, in the eyes of these people, indeed, there’s no difference from a true Buddha.”

”Next, let’s not waste any more time and settle all this quickly.”

Chu Xiu raised his gaze toward the restless, uneasy gathering of Hungry Ghosts, as profound destructive energy gathered in his hand into a verdant blade. With the infusion of the Golden Embryo Origin, the energy continuously surged, eventually transforming into a massive three-meter-long saber continually exuding the aura of death!

True Sin Punishing Demon Saber!

The next moment, Chu Xiu raised his hand and slashed downward fiercely!

Instantly, a majestic deluge of destructive energy poured forth, resembling a divine wrath of world-ending judgment, swallowing a massive number of Hungry Ghosts in the blink of an eye. Those Hungry Ghosts touched by the consuming flood of destructive energy had no time to react, letting out sharp wails as their flesh melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the frenzied energy finally abated, a kilometer-long fan-shaped ravine appeared in front of Chu Xiu. In this area, all the Hungry Ghosts were wiped out, leaving only pallid skeletons buried in the dust.

With a single casual slash, at least tens of thousands of Hungry Ghosts were annihilated!

This world-destroying slash plunged the entire camp into utter silence. All soldiers gaped forward in shock, never once imagining anyone could possess such terrifying power. The might of this one slash surpassed that of eighteen combined Vajra Heavy Cannons!

”Thud!”

A soldier knelt, shouting aloud, ”God and Buddha have descended! God and Buddha have descended! Buddha has not abandoned us! We are saved!”

He was full of exhilaration, even shedding tears, as surrounding soldiers also knelt, continuously worshiping the figure suspended mid-air.

The initial golden light somewhat made the people skeptical, but this astonishing slash dispelled any doubts in the soldiers’ hearts.

Besides a god, who else could possess such tremendous power?

Even those Upper Position Hungry Ghosts quieted down, a rare fear and retreat appearing in their lofty eyes.

Amidst the escort of Upper Position Hungry Ghosts, the Hungry Ghost Leader showed a look of shock for the first time.

”Such powerful energy output, you’re not a celestial being, which faction’s incarnation are you? Why obstruct us?”

The Hungry Ghost Leader stepped slightly forward, actually speaking in human language.

This surprised the soldiers and generals below. It was their first time knowing that a Hungry Ghost could even speak in human tongue.

Chu Xiu merely gave the creature opposite a cold look; it exuded an extremely strong aura, undoubtedly at the supreme King Tier level, in a totally different class from the other Hungry Ghosts. As long as its Skill and Trait configuration wasn’t particularly poor, it wouldn’t be weaker than a seasoned King Tier Awakened like Li Zhan before being blessed by Outer Realm Demon.

This was already stronger than most Civilization Envoys, and even a four-person team of Civilization Envoys might not be its match.

But unfortunately, it encountered Chu Xiu.

Without replying, Chu Xiu raised his hand, and the Hundred Souls Banner appeared in his grasp!

He wanted to extract a lot of information from the Hungry Ghost Leader opposite but had no interest in playing probing verbal games.

What he needed to do was clear everything with absolute power, then slowly interrogate!

As the Soul Banner descended, the entire passage erupted with howling winds, and sharp wails echoed in every soldier’s ears!
