Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 866 - 387: Divine Domain

As Mao Qi’s words fell, instantly everyone’s gaze turned to Chu Xiu, surprise, shock, denial, and various emotions surged around his Divine Soul.

Chu Xiu’s eyelids twitched slightly, then he spoke expressionlessly, "I’m willing to listen in detail."

"It’s simple," Mao Qi raised a thumb, "First, I can tell everyone, we found a Divine Artifact, it belongs to my Law of Transformation, plus the Meat Bone Umbrella, Brother Tuoba can also be excluded."

"This way, the number of suspects will be reduced to six people."

"Secondly, the reason I turned back to save the two of you earlier, was to speculate that the ability of the ’Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’ is related to the laws we hold."

"Everyone should know, the Abyss has the underlying Rule of ’Yin Yang Balance’, so it won’t issue trials beyond the difficulty limit, so we must have a chance to pass. If the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation couldn’t be killed, this mission wouldn’t exist at all."

"And judging by its current performance, it’s simply unbelievably strong. Forget about that Divine Body, just the Faceless Men sent out before. If they hadn’t acted separately, but instead gathered seven Faceless Men to kill one person, there would be no way anyone could stop it."

"But why doesn’t the opponent do this?"

"After knowing Brother Mu instead controlled a Faceless Man, I had a bold guess, perhaps the ability of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is restrained by one of our laws! And it doesn’t know which law we each hold!"

"If Brother Mu was among the targets of an attack by seven, then this attack would not only be ineffective but also increase our side’s combat power significantly! So it simply used it as a means to test our reality and void."

"In this way, Brother Mu’s suspicion can be eliminated, and Brother Shagu, who was deprived of Rule Power, can be eliminated too—there’s no disrespect intended, I just think the tribulationist that needs seven Civilization Envoys to deal with wouldn’t fail against even two imposters."

Although Shagu’s face was a bit displeased, he nodded in acceptance of Mao Qi’s explanation.

Chu Xiu’s expression grew even darker. Perhaps because the mission stated that the tribulationist’s strength was above everyone else’s, they didn’t even consider the possibility that Chu Xiu didn’t have Rule Power at all! They directly assumed that even if a tribulationist wanted to pretend to be weak, they wouldn’t pay such a high price, mistakenly eliminating another suspect.

Now, there were only four people left in the field!

Mao Qi continued, "Everyone should also be able to tell from the names of the tribulationist and the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, the two are most likely enemies. I even suspect that the tribulationist’s mission is to kill the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation! After all, we Civilization Envoys are just a ’supplement’ to the trial, even in this special trial, we shouldn’t be the ’protagonist’."

"In this way, Miss Xuanzhao, who entered the center area alone, can’t be completely ruled out, but her probability of being the tribulationist is reduced. At least it indicates in the eyes of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, after the first probe, it’s still not sure she’s the tribulationist, otherwise, why wait at the entrance instead of chasing all over the street?"

This explanation was somewhat far-fetched, but as Mao Qi said, it could at least significantly reduce Xie Xuanzhao’s suspicion.

"Do I need to say more?" Mao Qi snorted rather smugly, "Among the remaining three, one is eager to leave the team and act solo, one has shown power levels above ours, and one still refuses to divulge which law he holds!"

As Mao Qi’s voice fell, the others’ gazes on Chu Xiu changed, silently shifting their steps, forming a vague encirclement.

In the center, Chu Xiu’s expression was darker than ever before. He hadn’t expected that this Mao Qi could infer so many things at once and almost all guessed correctly.

Although he could argue that this was just baseless speculation by the other party, seeing others’ expressions, they probably believed it seven or eight points, even if he held on until the big escape phase with Xie Xuanzhao, he’d be the first targeted.

With thousands of thoughts spinning in his mind, Chu Xiu looked up and sneered.

"So, saving people is still wrong?"

"If I hadn’t made a move, who among you would know my strength?"

Mu Tuo and the Mutant displayed hesitant expressions at these words.

Mao Qi replied, "I already said, the ability of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is restrained by us, so you need to borrow our strength."

Chu Xiu sneered, "If I’m not mistaken, your core speculation is about the Rule of ’Yin Yang Balance’ in the Abyss."

"What, doesn’t this balance apply to tribulationists?"

"You’ve also seen the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s power, tell me, if a tribulationist can withstand the suspicion and doubt of seven Civilization Envoys, and still have the power to counter the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, then why do you think you can handle the tribulationist on your own?"

These words caused Mao Qi to pause slightly, frowning, and the others showed expressions of wavering.

After all, they didn’t know that the difficulty of the ’Tribulation’ far exceeded the ’Ancient Trials’, and it would also attract the ’Greatest Malice of the Abyss’.

Considering the ordinary Rule of ’Yin Yang Balance’, the tribulationist’s power indeed couldn’t be defeated by six Civilization Envoys.

And actually, Chu Xiu didn’t completely deceive them, he hadn’t played any of his cards yet. If he really fought to the death, he might not have no chance of winning, but it would certainly come with a heavy price, and then there would naturally be no hope of passing the trial, a waste of a ’Deep Diving Freedom Scroll’.
