Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Although he should be able to automatically escape from that state when attacked, he is inevitably going to be severely injured by the first strike.

He glanced at the people beside him, his expression slightly tense, and noticed the anomaly. Xie Xuanzhao stood next to him, with Mu Tuo and Tuoba Shou a bit further away, forming a protective stance around him.

The remnants of the demon, Shagu, and Zhu Jiu stood scattered at a further distance. Opposite Xie Xuanzhao, Mao Qi was standing with arms crossed, looking disgruntled at him.

Chu Xiu instantly realized what was happening. Mao Qi was undoubtedly planning to take this opportunity to strike at him. After all, regardless of how reliable Xie Xuanzhao’s plan seemed, there were many variables, so it was better to kill Chu Xiu with a single blow while he was unprepared.

And the best candidate to execute this task was undoubtedly Zhu Jiu.

Mao Qi’s Law of Transformation should focus more on combat flexibility, although it certainly included powerful transformations. However, purely in terms of destructive power, it could not compare to Zhu Jiu’s Law of Destruction.

Yet it was clear that Zhu Jiu, the remnants of the demon, and Shagu hesitated about Mao Qi’s proposal, adopting a neutral stance, while the other three supported Chu Xiu.

Sighing in relief, Chu Xiu clasped his hands towards Xie Xuanzhao and the others: "Thank you for protecting me, I will remember this kindness."

These words were spoken with genuine sincerity.

If he had indeed been hit by Zhu Jiu’s Law of Destruction in an unguarded state, even with Chu Xiu’s powerful life force, he could not guarantee survival.

Xie Xuanzhao covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother Chen, no need for formalities. I am merely following the guidance of destiny."

Mu Tuo chuckled: "Earlier, Brother Chen saved my life, and yet I attacked him, blinded by foolishness. How can I make the same mistake again?"

Tuoba Shou said nothing, only nodding slightly towards Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu recalled when he was attacked by the Rule of Cancer Transformation, Tuoba Shou also succumbed to cancer but just sat cross-legged and did not attack Chu Xiu. It seemed he was a principled person despite being laconic.

Chu Xiu spoke no more and simply got up, saying: "Let’s go."

Now, that his identity as a tribulation bearer was exposed, Chu Xiu decided not to hide his strength anymore. He raised his hand, and a massive number of ghosts poured out from the Soul Banner, using the same old method to search the surroundings for divine artifacts.

Although the ghostly legion had diminished by half, with the help of seven Civilization Envoys, especially Xie Xuanzhao who was adept at divination, the efficiency was not much different.

Fifteen minutes later, the other three Divine Artifacts were found one by one, and they also fought several waves of Tribulation Transformation Creatures, their divine souls and flesh naturally taken by Chu Xiu, slightly compensating for the loss.

Thus, all the divine artifacts were gathered.

The newly acquired artifacts were a mirror, a blood-red orb, and a lifelike pearl carved from an unknown jade material, only the size of a palm.

[Aodell’s Copper Mirror], [Great Wild Blood Poison Orb], [Destructive Ark], these were the names of the pieces of equipment.

[Aodell’s Copper Mirror] is a Tribulation Transformation Divine Artifact that mimics the law, and its effect is simple yet brutal—it can replicate its [Phantom] to a maximum of four. The phantoms possess the skills and traits of the original, but their basic attributes are limited by the power of the mirror itself. When activating the tribulation transformation effect, the number of phantoms can increase tenfold! And each phantom receives an additional attribute boost!

The Blood Poison Orb is similar to the Four-footed Cauldron’s ability, forming a domain that benefits the user and targets the enemy. However, the cauldron focuses on mana, while the Blood Refining Orb targets life force, allowing a strange poison to corrode an enemy’s life force—a highly abnormal ability.

Unfortunately, it requires the Law of Cancer Transformation, which Shagu’s law had already been stripped of, rendering the divine artifact to a mere ordinary mythical equipment.

Lastly, the Destructive Ark corresponds to Zhu Jiu’s Rule of Destruction. Its ability is simple—a palm-sized ark can transform into a giant wheel; destructive waves will endlessly emanate nearby. Upon activating the tribulation transformation effect, it can directly trigger an [Apocalyptic Calamity].

In layman’s terms, it is a vast-range, indiscriminate, high-power divine technique that attacks any creature besides those on the ark.

As for the artifact mastered by Mao Qi, as predicted by Chu Xiu, it corresponds to his own Law of Transformation—[Hundred Ghosts Parade Picture], its effect being the summoning of a hundred ghosts to attack the enemy. When the tribulation transformation effect is activated, the hundred ghosts can merge with his body, turning into a Ghost King, possessing the power of the hundred ghosts.

The effects of these divine artifacts each more abnormal than the last added considerable confidence to Chu Xiu.

"We should proceed to the central region immediately," Mao Qi urged.

Chu Xiu said nothing, while Mu Tuo snorted coldly: "Even with the assistance of divine artifacts, you can’t be a match for that corpse. Recklessly engaging before finding the enemy’s weakness is courting death!"

Mao Qi sneered back: "Then tell me, what is the enemy’s weakness? How do we find it?"

Mu Tuo snorted again, refusing to look at him. It was evident Mao Qi did not care about victory or defeat, so long as Chu Xiu faced battle.

"Brother Chen, have you come up with a strategy?" Xie Xuanzhao asked.

Chu Xiu shook his head.

Xie Xuanzhao suggested: "The way to break through must lie in the special identity of the tribulation bearer. If Brother Chen is willing, perhaps sharing the relevant information might uncover something for us."
