Chapter 616: Chapter 292: Heavy Sword Chiwen

"These high-tier creatures are indeed more troublesome one after another." Chu Xiu couldn’t help but sigh.

Whether it’s the super-large ghost encountered in the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, the Magma Blood Demon in front, or that Domain Ghost, all have their own survival tactics. Though their tier is merely King Tier, even Heroic Spirits find it difficult to hunt them.

It can only be said that not only Chu Xiu is cautious, but most developmental creatures in this world grow with survival as their primary need.

After all, creatures that don’t understand how to survive have long been eliminated through time and could never evolve to such a high level.

"I do miss the days of randomly slaughtering mindless Corpse Demons."

Chu Xiu shook his head with a smile.

Then, he turned his gaze to Asura, "Alright, don’t waste any more time, just tell me your plan."

"Standing there calmly even after your usefulness has expired, I bet you’ve calculated that I would need your help."

Asura smiled and said, "You’re joking. If even you can’t handle this Blood Demon, how could I have any plan?"

"However, I can indeed offer some assistance in tracking and marking this monster."

With that, he flipped his wrist, and a long blade appeared before Chu Xiu.

[Asura Blade: Heroic Spirit Tier Legendary, when held, continuously accumulates Asura’s Fury during combat, enhancing the holder’s reaction speed, power, life recovery speed, and combat desire. Upon receiving an attack, it can trigger Asura’s Revenge, storing absorbed damage to enhance the power of the next attack. When the battle blade hits an enemy, it can trigger Asura’s Pursuit, marking the target and increasing subsequent damage to the target. The marking can stack.]

[Note: For users possessing Asura’s Power, this weapon can independently grow and level up with constant combat, ultimately evolving into a Demigod Tier Mythical Quality Godslaying Blade.]

Chu Xiu gazed at the long blade in his hand, unable to suppress a look of amazement.

This weapon is truly monstrous!

This is the first time Chu Xiu has seen a Heroic Spirit Level Legendary Weapon, and its attributes are completely worthy of its tier. It can be said to be a weapon nearly without weaknesses, with special effects that are tremendously strong!

Even more monstrous is that its level can grow, with the potential to reach demigod status!

Chu Xiu also realized that if he had killed Asura in the trial, this weapon would have probably dropped as loot, but now that Asura has become an Awakened, this weapon has materialized as his weapon through Abyssal Power.

Unexpectedly, this guy had such a trump card hidden.

"I faced the Magma Blood Demon upon first sight, but unfortunately, it eventually escaped deep into the magma. However, my Asura Blade successfully marked it, and as long as it doesn’t escape the Asura Battle Blade’s lock-on range, I can track its location."

"I initially intended to grow stronger before killing it, but unfortunately, the Blood Demon is growing too fast in the Corpse Demon World, with the power boost from the Endless Blood Pool, the gap between us hasn’t widened but has instead continuously shrunk. Now it has grown to such an extent that it’s beyond my ability to handle."

"Even without the advantage of the lava environment, I might not triumph."

There was a hint of envy in Asura’s tone, and his words made Chu Xiu nod silently in his heart. This creature is indeed hard to deal with. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Actually, he charged into the magma with such a high profile because he locked onto the opponent from afar with his Divine Sense. The Magma Blood Demon noticed him too and started moving toward the bottom of the magma. Chu Xiu intended to speed up and see if he could kill it before it fully escaped back into the magma, but unfortunately, he was still a step slow.

By the time he charged into the volcano, the Magma Blood Demon was already at the bottom, over a thousand meters deep.

In this way, Chu Xiu really needs Asura’s help, or else in the vast Corpse Demon World, once the Magma Blood Demon relocates, it’d be nearly impossible for Chu Xiu to find it again.

"So what’s your proposal?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Simple, I can help you continuously track this monster until you’re fully prepared to take it down, even assist in protecting your civilization. My only requirement is that I want your trust, to become a part of your civilization."

Asura’s words made Chu Xiu slightly furrow his brows.

This proposal, on the surface, seems like a win without a loss for him. Not only does he not need to pay any price, but he also gets a very strong bodyguard for free.

But the problem is, can Asura really be trusted?

"It sounds like only benefits and no drawbacks for me, but I highly doubt you have such good intentions." Chu Xiu said blandly.

Facing Chu Xiu’s skepticism, Asura continued, "To be honest, I initially indeed had some improper thoughts. But having witnessed your terrifying growth speed now, if I were still obsessed with past grudges, coveting your great opportunity, I’d be more foolish than one can imagine."

"Now, I just want to ensure my safe development using the enormous weapon you brought back. I have Asura’s Divine Power, so my starting point is much higher than others; I just need to develop stably. However, I’m unlike other Awakened who can retreat to their safe homes; I’m destined to stay in the Corpse Demon World."

"Therefore, choosing a powerful sanctuary is necessary. Can this reason convince you?"
