"Finally, it’s here."

Looking at the two inheritances before him, Chu Xiu revealed a long-awaited smile.

After waiting for so long, he finally obtained a cultivation technique to enhance his Mental Attribute!

The Golden Embryo Nether Technique, with its four Chapters, successively strengthened Life Force, Energy, and Constitution. Now it was finally Spirit’s turn!

Chu Xiu’s Mental Attribute had always been his weakness, of course, this weakness was relative to his current near-Heroic Spirit battle level.

With a large amount of Equipment, he barely compensated for the Mental Defense, but in terms of reaction Speed and Mental Attack, he was still extremely lacking!

Usually, he could cover for these with various long-distance Divine Techniques, but once discovered by the enemy, it would become his fatal weakness!

Back when he fought Li Zhan, it was because his reaction Speed was too slow that he was immediately disarmed upon meeting the opponent.

If it weren’t for the Iron Armor Corpse as a safeguard, Chu Xiu might not have been able to mount an effective defense and would have been combo-ed to death!

Just moments ago, this was the case again, and because of his slow reaction Speed, he endured the mental attacks of twenty-seven Holy Spirits.

If it weren’t for his Legendary Equipment, along with the Royal Tier Five Dragon Crown and Celestial Human Divine Thought, he could have been instantly killed!

The other Skill was also a rare attack-type Skill.

If Chu Xiu remembered correctly, this should be the first body attack Skill to appear in the Supreme Demon Lord’s lineage.

The Supreme Demon Lord’s lineage mainly relied on Ghosts for combat, yet the Demon Sect elders who established this inheritance included such a body use Skill, which must have its unique significance. The effect of directly annihilating life sounded quite formidable.

Chu Xiu was looking forward to it.

"Once the Soul Hall matter is dealt with, I will find a secluded place to exhaust my Cause and Effect Points and master these two inheritances completely."

Chu Xiu quickly made the decision without much thought.

He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Miaoyin, who had been waiting for quite some time with a flattering expression.

Seeing Chu Xiu looking at her, Jiang Miaoyin’s smile became even more sycophantic: "Senior, about those Holy Spirits..."

"You didn’t tell me there were as many as twenty-seven King Tiers here."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Xiu interrupted her.

He looked at Jiang Miaoyin with a half-smiling gaze: "With so many King Tiers, even refining just a tenth of them would be a considerable fortune."

"Furthermore, from what I see, these Holy Spirits seem not as useless as you said. With such a full Soul Body, at least a third can be used, right?"

Jiang Miaoyin shrank back a bit sheepishly, chuckling awkwardly: "Senior, I didn’t expect our city to have so many. Other cities only have a few; I guess I got lucky, haha..."

Under Chu Xiu’s silent gaze, the more Jiang Miaoyin spoke, the more she felt guilty. Although she hadn’t lied, she had indeed concealed the value of the Holy Spirits.

Chu Xiu didn’t say more, just watched her calmly.

After a while, Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t bear it and chuckled: "Senior, I didn’t mean to keep it from you. How about this: during the Curse Spirit fusion process, I will extract a significant amount of Soul Power. I can offer this Soul Power to you, how does that sound?"

"Don’t think it’s small; it’s a technical task, and it takes quite a toll on my Spirit. Moreover, the refined Soul Power is much more than you would get by directly devouring!"

She furtively glanced at Chu Xiu as she finished, her lively eyes twinkling.

This made Chu Xiu burst into silent laughter, and he did not continue to trouble her further, merely saying, "Let’s do that."

Because he noticed earlier that this girl was trying to save him, instead of waiting to loot his Equipment after he died.

The wealth of a Heroic Spirit is something few can resist, and this alone was quite commendable.

And after gaining Chu Xiu’s consent, Jiang Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief and began excitedly collecting the shattered Soul Bodies before her.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu continued to walk deeper into the great hall.

He had long noticed that the few vague figures near the altar were the true masters orchestrating the Holy Spirits’ attacks; the thick darkness in the hall all emanated from these figures.

"Boom!"

Surging Demonic Qi erupted from Chu Xiu’s body, transforming behind him into a three-headed, six-armed Martial God phantom, instantly causing the surrounding darkness to retreat like a tide before a predator.

Those vague figures also slowly stood up.

"Intruder... Kill..."

Stuttered thoughts transmitted to Chu Xiu.

"Ha, turns out they are just lingering souls and thoughts that haven’t dissipated yet."

Chu Xiu sneered, reaching forward with his hand, and behind him, the Martial God phantom’s body swelled, a Heaven-Opening Giant Axe hundreds of meters long appeared in the Martial God’s hand, and like a Celestial God overlooking the mortal realm, it swung the giant axe at those vague figures!

Those figures let out shrill cries, urging the surrounding darkness to gather into a sea tide surging upward, attempting to resist the descending giant axe, but against that unrivaled Power, all resistance was futile. As soon as the darkness touched it, they evaporated rapidly like water touching red-hot iron.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The few shadows exploded one after another, their cores darted to escape, but golden flames ignited on them spontaneously at Chu Xiu’s glaring eyes, turning them to ashes in an instant.

Chu Xiu swung his Soul Banner, and immediately all the darkness in the hall surged into the Soul Banner, and soon, the entire hall returned to normal.
