Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

In the distance, directly above the central area, a massive black cloud was gathering, with pitch-black lightning occasionally falling from the cloud, like black serpents, drilling into the central area of the Star Jumping Ship below.

The slight tremors were precisely due to the pitch-black lightning striking the Star Jumping Ship.

Almost the instant he saw the black cloud, Chu Xiu’s gaze sharpened!

"Is it finally coming..."

That black cloud was all too familiar to him—it was the Tribulation Cloud!

And even the remaining three Civilization Envoys, who knew nothing about the Tribulation Cloud, realized that something had changed.

"What exactly is Miss Xuanzhao up to?" Mu Tuo’s face was somewhat unsightly.

"It might not necessarily be caused by Miss Xuanzhao," Zhu Jiu also looked towards the distance with a serious expression, "Perhaps, as Brother Chen said, it is some hidden ’Countdown’."

Chu Xiu said, "We have no more time to argue, my three brothers. I agree with your suggestion to find the Divine Artifacts first, but I want to act alone to save time."

Zhu Jiu looked at Chu Xiu, "Brother Chen, do you really want to act alone? Aren’t you at all afraid of those undergoing tribulation taking action against you?"

Chu Xiu’s gaze was calm, "Brother Zhu, you may speculate about me as you wish, but my spiritual sense tells me that if we continue to delay over such trivial matters, we will soon become frogs in warm water, seemingly all normal, but in reality, the path is already doomed."

"I advise the three of you, have any of you seen a trial like this? Not only does it give us Civilization Envoys no strength bonus, but we don’t even know who our allies or specific enemies are! It even seals our escape artifacts!"

"This is by no means the kind of leisurely Ancient Trials that can be easily completed. You three need to have a sense of urgency."

After saying this, he no longer cared about the reactions of the other three. Chu Xiu slapped the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, and Garuda appeared at his side. With the infusion of Divine-Demonic Power, Garuda transformed into a golden light, rushing swiftly toward a nearby Divine Artifact point.

Zhu Jiu and the other two watched Chu Xiu’s departing figure, their expressions uncertain.

"So fast! This person had indeed hidden his strength before!" Mu Tuo retracted his gaze, "Brother Zhu, Brother Remnant Demon, what should we do now?"

Remnant Demon looked at Zhu Jiu, who pondered in place for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "What Brother Chen said is also reasonable, we must not draw conclusions lightly from just this, inform the other three, and then we will go to another Divine Artifact!"

After saying this, he reactivated the communication artifact while flying towards another Divine Artifact point, opposite to Chu Xiu’s direction.

...

"I wonder how much they believed of what I said."

In the distance, the departing Chu Xiu also had a solemn gaze.

But there was no way around it. Suspect if they must, but the forming Tribulation Cloud in the distance made Chu Xiu realize his guess was correct: this mission, which seemed like surviving eight hours would complete it, was probably a timed reminder, suggesting the further he went, the more intense the challenges would become!

Chu Xiu estimated that not to mention dragging it out for eight hours, even if it was seven, or six hours, he would face a certain death situation.

He must hurry!

The downward passage appeared not far away, and Chu Xiu did not decelerate at all, crashing down into it at an angle like a cannonball!

"Boom!"

A massive hole was punched through hundreds of meters of solid steel by Chu Xiu, and after entering the Star Jumping Ship, he did not hesitate at all, directly waving the Soul Banner, and instantly thousands of ghosts shot out!

Then he used the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag, instantly pouring out thick Death Qi!

Soon, the surrounding ghosts became tainted with the Death Qi, then quickly rushed towards all directions!

This was one of the key reasons Chu Xiu decided to act alone because he discovered earlier that the Divine Artifacts attract Death Qi, and he just happened to have a large amount of Death Qi! Additionally, he had a Ghostly Legion that could help him search a wide area!

The combination of the two would allow him to find the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact in a much shorter time than other Civilization Envoys!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu sat down cross-legged, and immediately, his immense Divine Sense expanded to its fullest, attaching to the dispersed ghosts, charging towards the surroundings!

His vast Divine Thought seemed to form a huge Domain, and those ghosts were like the tentacles of that Domain, further expanding and extending its boundaries!

In less than three minutes, Chu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, having made a discovery!

In one direction, the Death Qi on the ghosts exhibited a slight tremor!

With a thought, the Garuda beneath him let out a clear cry, carrying Chu Xiu and turning into a golden light, disappearing from his original location. Driven by Divine-Demonic Power, Space Divine Techniques were unleashed as if money was no object, continuously traversing through space with Chu Xiu!

Within a few breaths, Chu Xiu arrived at the location where the Death Qi was trembling.

Expanding his Divine Sense again, this time he smoothly explored a large number of Tribulation Transformation Creatures.

With a flicker of his body, he appeared in the midst of the line of Tribulation Transformation Creatures!

Chu Xiu turned his wrist, and Chiwen appeared in his hand. Violent energy fluctuations, like giant waves, emanated from within him!

In the next moment, it was as if a nuclear bomb was detonated; the extreme brightness swallowed the surroundings entirely! Every beam of light converged into the ultimate Destructive Energy!

"Boom!"

When the light dispersed, centered on Chu Xiu, within a radius of several miles, it seemed as though it had become a molten fireball. At the spherical edges, even steel was vaporized, burning at the periphery!

This time, there was no need to deliberately hide his capabilities, nor to observe the strength of other Civilization Envoys, as Chu Xiu, for the first time since Core Formation, unleashed his full power!

With one strike, he effortlessly exterminated all the Tribulation Transformation Creatures!

His speed was too fast, those Tribulation Transformation Creatures didn’t even have time to react before being engulfed by the extreme Destructive Energy, disintegrating into their basic particles!

The sight around him made Chu Xiu reveal a satisfied expression.

"I wonder how my pure energy outburst compares to Brother Zhu’s Destructive Divine Techniques?"

Having lurked in King Tier for too long, finally forming the Core, if not for the sake of passing the trial, Chu Xiu would indeed have wanted to randomly pick a Civilization Envoy for a major fight, to verify what level his power had reached post-Core Formation!

Exhaling lightly, Chu Xiu restrained his slightly arrogant thoughts. There would be plenty of opportunities for him to fight in the future, but now, the important matter had to be dealt with.

He opened the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag to release Death Qi, and quickly found the hidden "secret chamber" using the previous method.

This time, the secret chamber housed a peculiar jade statue.

The statue depicted a woman, and the sculpting technique almost reached a level of extraordinary craftsmanship. The woman looked almost indistinguishable from a real person, and under the glow of the white jade, her skin appeared smooth and flawless, mesmerizingly beautiful.

To make matters more exciting, the woman’s sculpture wore nothing, in an almost seductive pose; even Chu Xiu felt a surge of heat rise from his chest upon seeing it.

"What an impressive statue! Yet, what attributes does this Divine Artifact possess?"

Chu Xiu was secretly surprised, stepping forward to grasp the statue, planning to take a good look at its attributes.

However, before he could focus his mind, a cold laugh suddenly echoed unexpectedly from behind him!

"I wondered why Brother Chen wanted to act alone, turns out you have a special treasure hunting method."

"It seems, Brother Chen, you are that tribulation survivor, aren’t you?"

Chu Xiu whirled around, only to see a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.

The youth’s face bore a slightly stiff, mocking smile—it was Zhu Jiu!

Chu Xiu’s face showed an expression of incredulity.

He had acted so brazenly because earlier, he had clearly seen Zhu Jiu and the other two flying in another direction.

Moreover, his Divine Sense was constantly spread out, detecting no anomalies, sure that he was the only one around.

Yet the youth before him appeared suddenly and without warning nearby!

"Brother Zhu, your stealth skills are truly impressive, are you alone?" Chu Xiu looked around, his eyes gradually boiling with killing intent.
