And this, was merely the Demon Soldiers that Chu Xiu conjured with a wave of his hand!

If Chu Xiu channels the Golden Embryo Origin for enhancement and employs it with full force, he can transform dozens of flying swords to attack in an instant!

"Truly too powerful."

"No wonder those geniuses recorded in the legacy could harden their conjured Demon Soldiers to confront the Spiritual Artifacts of righteous cultivators after reaching the Fourth Layer!"

"It’s also no surprise that only with the legacy of the Innate Divine Demon lineage, one can rival artifacts on their own!"

"And this is only the Sixth Layer; it’s unimaginable what kinds of incredible Divine Techniques one would possess upon completing the Seventh Layer..."

Even Chu Xiu couldn’t help but marvel.

In reality, since the establishment of the Demon Sect, no one has ever cultivated this Divine Technique to the Sixth Layer during the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone perfection.

Chu Xiu’s 570,000 Cause and Effect Points are tantamount to an extra thousand years of cultivation!

"Now I can directly contend with ordinary Heroic Spirits!" Chu Xiu was more confident than ever.

Of course, his confidence wasn’t blind; he still had many weaknesses, like his endurance couldn’t keep up, and he could only engage in brief combat with a Heroic Spirit. If the fight prolongs, he would undoubtedly be the first to collapse.

Moreover, his movement speed couldn’t keep up. If a Heroic Spirit wants to escape after being unable to win, he would have no means to hold them, unless he activates the Void God Mode to exchange life with mental attack explosion.

But Heroic Spirits themselves have exceedingly powerful Divine Souls, and by this stage, they more or less possess means against mental attacks, so it’s likely it’ll only result in mutual destruction.

Unless encountering those Heroic Spirits who focus purely on physical combat and disregard mental attacks, then maybe he could recklessly kill them in one go.

"To truly be unafraid of Heroic Spirits, it seems I must cultivate Demon Energy Soldiers to the Seventh Layer."

"But this last layer might take no less than five hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points."

"However, Cause and Effect Points are not cheap, time to farm for points."

"Hmm, enhancing a Ghostly Legion or refining artifacts are also effective ways to combat Heroic Spirits..."

Thinking about this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

Which General would think about confronting Heroic Spirits?

Even those top King Tiers wouldn’t dare to dream of such a thing!

Having the Celestial Dragon Corpse as a trump to escape from a Heroic Spirit is already enough, thinking of slaying a Heroic Spirit is a bit too ambitious.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu ceased pondering, dismissed the Iron Armor Corpse, and walked out.

Jiang Miaoyin stood loyally as a sculpture at the exit.

Upon hearing the sound, she turned: "Senior, done?"

"Yes," Chu Xiu nodded, "let’s go, head to the Inner Layer."

"Great!"

In the following days, the two officially began to advance into the Inner Layer area.

It must be said that as the concentration of Yin Qi increases, the quality of both the ghosts and the natural materials and treasures has greatly improved.

However, the two dared not explore as boldly as in the Outer Layer, even now with Chu Xiu’s greatly increased strength, he didn’t want to encounter the giant ghost seen before, and who could guarantee there was only one such powerful ghost?

Thus, their exploration was very cautious, and coupled with the additional suppression on Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense and Jiang Miaoyin’s Instantaneous, the exploration speed wasn’t fast.

Despite this, they still slew three General Tier ghosts and collected several rare materials on the first day.

It’s worth mentioning, due to the overly dense Yin Qi in the Inner Layer, the Murder Ghost’s Spirit Puppet couldn’t withstand it and was finally got rid of this rubbery presence.

...

Seven days later, Chu Xiu, with Jiang Miaoyin, concealed their figures, and observed a distant puddle carefully.

It’s called a puddle but only measures two or three square meters, like a small pool of accumulated rainwater in a low corner.

But there’s usually no water here, and ghosts do not need water. The liquid resembling water was actually Yin Qi, condensed and already liquefied to an extreme.

"Heavens, it’s Extremely Yin Water! I saw a small bottle sell for two billion at auction last year, and here there’s such a large pool!"

"Senior, we hit the jackpot!" Jiang Miaoyin shook Chu Xiu’s arm excitedly.

"What jackpot," Chu Xiu remained calm, "at most sell it for a few hundred billion, even counting our previous gains, it hasn’t even recouped the ticket expenses."

"Hehe, I got my Anchor Point from a fool who didn’t know its worth for only fifty billion." Jiang Miaoyin chuckled softly.

Chu Xiu: "..."

Feeling somewhat at a loss.

But this couldn’t be helped; the intelligence network of the four major families was too terrifying. Any world worth exploring would be discovered first-hand immediately.

Even their Corpse Demon World had a few collateral children of the four major families enter.

That’s the advantage of disparity in information.

Ceasing the dwelling on this, Chu Xiu said: "Use your Curse Spirit to probe, any Exotic Treasure must have a Fierce Beast guarding it. No ghost is near that puddle; I sense something isn’t right."

"Alright."

Jiang Miaoyin nodded, the four Buddha Statues that Chu Xiu had seen before were all summoned by her.

She made a technique seal, first the Buddha covering its ears released its hands and listened for a while, followed by those covering their eyes and nose in sequence.

After a while, Jiang Miaoyin said: "Eyes and nose didn’t detect anything, the Yin Qi is too dense here, greatly hindering their detection, but the ears indeed heard something, likely coming from a ghost, senior you’re probably right, but it couldn’t locate the specific position."

It must be said that Jiang Miaoyin’s reconnaissance Curse Spirit was indeed unique, just now Chu Xiu also unleashed his Divine Sense, but was restrained by the Yin Qi without results, and hers explored through vision, smell, and hearing simultaneously, even though two failed, it still captured anomalies.

Chu Xiu recalled the Murder Ghost’s concealment being discovered by her, indicating its reconnaissance precision was high, ordinary concealers might find it hard to escape one, let alone all three simultaneously.

This made Chu Xiu sigh again over the profound foundation of great families.

He was also a bit curious about what the fourth Buddha Statue, always motionless and with a laughing expression, was used for.

But he didn’t ask much, instead focused his attention on the Extremely Yin Water before him. He flicked a finger, and a Fierce Ghost hovered its way toward the puddle.

Under the intense watch of both of them, the Fierce Ghost reached the puddle’s edge, but just as it was about to crouch down to absorb the Extremely Yin Water, a hand suddenly reached out from the puddle, grabbing its Soul Body. The Fierce Ghost didn’t even struggle before it was assimilated into the puddle.

Waves of Yin Qi wafted out, and the Extremely Yin Water seemed to grow even denser.

"Hiss, it seems that ghost is hidden within the Extremely Yin Water," Jiang Miaoyin drew a cold breath, "this complicates matters, if that ghost can control the Extremely Yin Water... Hey, senior!"

Before she finished analyzing, Chu Xiu was already walking forward, and at the same time, the ghost in the Extremely Yin Water noticed Chu Xiu. It stood upright at once, like a completely water-composed Water Spirit, emanating chilling coldness.

Yin Qi around started to stir, the ghost seemed to possess extreme control over nearby Yin Qi by leveraging the Extremely Yin Water, with Yin Qi from miles around converging here.

Yet before it launched an attack, Chu Xiu pointed forward with an indifferent expression.

Instantly, a series of giant swords as black as ink condensed in mid-air behind him, shooting toward the ghost explosively!

The ghost let out a sharp scream of rage, rapidly condensing surrounding Yin Qi into layers of shields, but those pitch-black heavy swords, like indestructible divine weapons, smashed through everything blocking them with overwhelming might!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the ghost’s shrill wail, the countless heavy swords bombarded the land around like artillery shells with covering fire, each strike causing massive shakes in the ground!

With over a hundred heavy swords descending in succession, the ghost’s spot was already unrecognizable, ravaged over a hundred times like by a heavy bomber.

The previously gathered pool of Extremely Yin Water was also shattered and scattered everywhere.

[Acquired Artifact: Cause and Effect Points *4516]

[Acquired Artifact: Yin Spirit Dust (King Tier Perfection)]

[Acquired Equipment: Scattering Stream Cloak (King Tier Perfection)]

Upon hearing the notification, Chu Xiu finally relaxed, stepped forward to gather the scattered Extremely Yin Water, and numerous ghosts swarmed forward, devouring the dispersed remains.

Standing behind him, Jiang Miaoyin was left speechless by this brutal scene.

At the same time, a strange feeling arose within her.

Why does it seem... this senior is continuously growing stronger?
