Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

”Now my chances of obtaining the Tribulation Pearl just went up a few notches.”

After a brief pause, Chu Xiu patted the bag, and a single drop of Tribulation Poison appeared before him.

This seemingly ordinary black liquid, however, was filled with a chilling aura, as if it could Devour all Life in an instant.

Although this drop of Tribulation Poison didn’t have as much Power as that black lightning, it still possessed some of its eerie Effects.

For example, once it hit the target, it would cause large-scale Fissure, and it had an extremely strong Piercing force against barriers, Armor, and so on.

”If I’m not mistaken, that black lightning is actually the pure Tribulation itself, and it’s what originally attacked this Ancient Cultivator.”

”All the rest, whether Death Qi or mutated Death Qi, are Tribulation that’s been diluted countless times after hitting the target, then combined with flesh, Yin Qi, and other substances.”

”And this Tribulation Poison I Refinement still contains a large amount of impurities, so it can’t reproduce the full Power of Tribulation.”

Perhaps when the Grade of the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag is raised to the Upper Three Grades, there might be a chance to further refine the Tribulation Poison into something like that black lightning—[Tribulation Thunder].

However, after these days of sacrificial Refinement, Chu Xiu had also realized the vast chasm between Middle Grade and Upper Grade. Although the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag still had a chance to advance to the Upper Three Grades, it was definitely not something that could be achieved overnight.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu stopped thinking about it. Being able to reach its current Power was already enough to satisfy him.

The most urgent matter right now was still obtaining the Tribulation Pearl. After all, there were less than three months left before the agreed final battle.

”This Tribulation seems to have some kind of guaranteed-hit property. There’s simply no way to dodge it; you can only take it head-on!”

”Although that Death Qi vortex has been weakened a lot compared to the beginning, if I intend to force my way in, there’s still at least an eighty to ninety percent chance I’ll face an attack from that black lightning.”

Chu Xiu rubbed his chin, falling into thought.

During the process of refining Tribulation, Chu Xiu had also gained a deeper understanding of its Traits.

But it was still far from enough!

”If I want to unravel the mysteries of Tribulation and find a way to counter it, I’m afraid I’ll have to experience it personally.”

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate. With a wave of the Myriad Souls Banner, a High Tier Ghost General immediately appeared before him!

This Ghost General was precisely the one that had previously absorbed the Tribulation!

At this moment, its Soul Body had almost been completely destroyed, leaving only ghostly Qi condensed to an unbelievable extent, firmly locking onto its core and trapping those few strands of Tribulation Thunder within.

With so much time having passed, the Tribulation Thunder should have long since dissipated under continuous consumption.

But Chu Xiu had discovered that after this Tribulation Thunder fused with flesh, its ability to Pierce everything weakened considerably. In addition, these few strands of Tribulation Thunder were countless times weaker than at the beginning, which allowed Chu Xiu to barely trap them with ghostly Qi.

He watched those strands of Tribulation Thunder rampaging within the ghostly Qi, as if they might burst free at any moment, and a grave expression appeared on Chu Xiu’s face. He pointed out with a finger, and two Ghost Kings simultaneously withdrew their power. A gap appeared in the ghostly Qi barrier, and in the next instant, all the Tribulation Thunder inside surged out!

Reacting with extreme speed, Chu Xiu waved the Soul Banner, and several Ghosts immediately rushed out, using their Soul Bodies to contain those strands of Tribulation. The Ghost that had previously borne the Tribulation was on its last breath as it returned to the Soul Banner to recuperate.

In the end, only the weakest strand of Tribulation Thunder was left with no Ghost to contain it, and it charged straight at Chu Xiu!

With a grave expression, Chu Xiu neither dodged nor retreated; he simply extended his palm to take it head-on!

In an instant, the frenzied Tribulation Thunder fell directly between Chu Xiu’s palms. He only felt a sharp pain in his palm, and that fleshly body that could withstand direct attacks from Heroic Spirit powerhouses actually began to visibly crumble!

Chu Xiu immediately drove all the Mana in his body towards the Tribulation Thunder, attempting to forcibly suppress it, but he was soon shocked to discover that his Mana, before this Tribulation Thunder, was like prey before a predator, like a Lower Position before an Upper Position. The Tribulation Thunder rampaged through his Mana, and no matter how he tried to direct it, he couldn’t hinder it in the slightest!

”Bang!”

With a soft sound, a large hole had already appeared in Chu Xiu’s palm! All the flesh inside had been incinerated, as if burned to ash and scattered with the wind.

Chu Xiu’s expression grew even more solemn. With a shift of Thought, the Golden Embryo Origin activated, beginning to Heal the wound on his hand. Within just a few breaths, the injury had completely recovered.

On the surface, it looked no different from before, but only Chu Xiu knew that for a High Tier Awakened, external injuries were just appearances, while the Life Energy within his body had truly been partially consumed by the Tribulation Thunder!

Even so, there wasn’t much fear on Chu Xiu’s face. With another Thought, the Ghost that had previously borne the Tribulation Thunder appeared near him, and Chu Xiu repeated his earlier method, drawing yet another strand of Tribulation Thunder over!

In the time that followed, he continuously guided these tiny strands of Tribulation Thunder, conducting experiments. Each time he was struck by one, his understanding of this terrifying Power was refreshed.

Half a day later.

After consuming the last strand of Tribulation Thunder, Chu Xiu opened his eyes and looked at the panel before him, a strange look flashing in his gaze.

[Trait obtained: Tribulation Body (Incomplete)]

[Tribulation Body (Incomplete) (SSS-level): After undergoing the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation, all your Attributes have been enhanced, and you have gained resistance to Tribulation Thunder.]

[Current completion: 0.018%, Attribute bonus: All Attributes +17, Tribulation Thunder resistance +0.24]

”I didn’t expect a bonus harvest.”

After consuming the Tribulation Thunder, he had actually obtained a Trait! An SSS-level Trait!

This Trait was without a doubt absurdly powerful, after all, it was in the same Tier as Perfect Refining! And its Effect was extremely monstrous—directly, crudely boosting All Attributes, and even increasing resistance to Tribulation Thunder!
