Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 417: Chapter 214: Eight Divisions, Part 3

”I rank third among the Eight Divisions, with only Celestial Dragon and Celestial Man above me. Although strength and division rank are not absolutely related, how can you possibly suppress me in tier?”

Yaksha’s emerald eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Chu Xiu was too lazy to say more, he swung his blade, severing Yaksha’s head. But at this moment, a shadow swiftly shot out from the cut, rapidly fleeing into the distance.

Chu Xiu remained unmoved, having no intention of immediately taking Yaksha’s life. He discerned that the opponent had another core, so decisively severed the head; he aimed to fish for bigger prey.

A blood-red figure shot out from behind him, chasing after Yaksha, while Chu Xiu turned his gaze towards the remaining Hungry Ghosts.

Without Yaksha’s protection, no matter how numerous, these Hungry Ghosts were but lambs awaiting slaughter.

As the blade light fell, the vast passage transformed into a bloody killing field.

...

Three minutes later, the once mighty tide of Hungry Ghosts had less than one-tenth left, fleeing back into various caves of the Fallen Paradise.

[Task Contribution Points +3789.4]

[Acquired Artifacts: Positioning Anchor Point＊7, Perfect Level Hand of Deprivation＊11, B-level Upgrade Spark＊6, Perfect Level Directed Deep Dive Scroll＊16, Old Remains＊4, Profession: Reaper (A), Profession: Shamanic Berserker (A), Profession: Poison Archer (B)...]

The panel prompt before his eyes brought a hint of smile to Chu Xiu’s face.

A great battle directly granted him over three thousand Task Contribution Points and a large number of artifacts!

Bear in mind that in the last Trial of the Casino, he only earned a total of eight thousand Contribution Points by settlement, which already brought substantial extra rewards.

”And I even left one Yaksha without killing immediately.”

”Moreover, Yaksha is just one of the Eight Divisions. If I kill all the others too, I wonder how many Contribution Points it will add for me!”

With the extraordinarily high foundation rewards of Apocalypse Difficulty, the rewards for completing the Trial will be unbelievably high!

Additionally, while monsters in the Trial don’t drop equipment, transforming instead into Task Contribution Points, they will drop numerous special artifacts under Apocalypse Difficulty.

Chu Xiu gained significantly this time; although these artifacts are of little use to him, collectively they are quite valuable.

Specially, the Fixed Anchor Points that Vengeance and others desire came into possession easily—seven in total.

It’s worth noting that a new artifact emerged, one Chu Xiu had never seen before.

[Old Remains]

This seems to be a drop exclusive to Ancient Trials. Chu Xiu checked it out, with only a simple description.

[Old Remains: When placed in Ancient Altar, it sends Old Remains into the Old Era buried by Abyss where no one can reach, helping to search for items lost in the Old Era.]

Sounds like an interesting artifact, but since Chu Xiu knows neither the Ancient Altar nor the buried Old Era, he can only store it in Storage Space for now.

No longer dwelling on it, he turned around, returned to the military camp.

And upon his return, nearly all soldiers knelt down, loudly invoking the names of gods and buddhas.

Chu Xiu ignored the fanatical crowd and went directly to Liang Zhan’s location.

At this time, Liang Zhan was waiting on the watchtower with a group of senior generals. They had witnessed the entire battle and worshiped Chu Xiu even more than ordinary soldiers. Before he approached, Liang Zhan had already kneeled with the generals, shouting, ”Welcome the god descended! Thank you, god, for saving us from water and fire! Your humble servant was previously blind, please punish me, god!”

The young men and women previously caught researching forbidden items also knelt among them, looking towards Chu Xiu with admiration and fervor.

Facing the crowd’s kneeling, however, Chu Xiu simply waved his hand and said, ”I’m not a Buddha.”

Liang Zhan: ?

The worshipful crowd was immediately baffled by this statement.

Chu Xiu did not waste time and directly explained the Awakener and Ancient Trials succinctly.

Liang Zhan and the others are wise people, to deceive such wise people with religion serves no purpose and may cause trouble due to misinformation or command miscommunication. It’s better to tell the truth.

Chu Xiu had this in mind before; only at that time, the crowd was mostly doubtful of him.

But now things are different.

I am invincible, why lie?

Having showcased absolute power, even if Chu Xiu claimed to be a Trisolarian from Alta Planet, Liang Zhan and the rest would believe him.

After hearing Chu Xiu’s explanation, Liang Zhan and the other’s shock increased and added a ripple of unconcealable joy.

”Sir, you mean you’re merely a powerful human, and we might have the chance to possess power like yours in the future?”

Chu Xiu nodded.

Theoretically, Liang Zhan and the others can become Awakened upon returning to the Corpse Demon World and engaging with the Abyss. They are elites of this era, trained by smaller and larger combats, possessing top-notch mentality and talent, hence their future achievements should be significant.

If Chu Xiu intended to dominate the Corpse Demon World, they would be a crucial force.

Of course, someone will detail these matters with them in the future, as Chu Xiu is uninterested in wasting further words.

He frankly said, ”I will evacuate all residents from this area. Liang Zhan, I assign you and your subordinate two tasks: firstly, concentrate all scattered residents and soldiers into the main city as quickly as possible, and secondly, seek ways to leave here.”

”Yes!” Liang Zhan agreed without hesitation.

He then raised his head and asked, ”What about you, sir?”

”Me?” Chu Xiu looked in the direction Yaksha fled and slightly smiled.

”Naturally, I am going to eradicate them.”
