Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 276 - 166: Samurai Ghost General

In the vast valley, a hundred thousand Life Souls were bound by the Hundred Souls Banner, unable to leave, only to be hunted and devoured by ghosts. Just when the Life Souls were about to be exhausted, the hundredth newly born Fierce Ghost emerged.

As exactly one hundred Fierce Ghosts gathered around the ghost formed by the Corrupted Warrior, it seemed as if some mysterious connection was formed between them. Under this connection, the Power of the Fierce Ghosts was injected into the ghost form of the Corrupted Warrior, causing its Soul Body to undergo a startling transformation!

A few minutes later, an entirely new Ghost General was born.

Its form was slightly shorter than the previous Ghost General, yet it stood a full three-and-a-half meters tall, clad in heavy Warrior Armor, with a two-meter-long Two-Handed Greatsword at its waist. Its black eyes had lost some of their ferocity, gaining a more cold-blooded look, resembling a top assassin who could maintain calm at any moment.

Chu Xiu scrutinized the creature before him, and with a thought, the Warrior Ghost General rushed out. In a mere blink of an eye, it appeared on the other side of the mountain, and in less than 0.01 seconds, it drew the long sword from its waist and slashed forward!

The brilliant flash of the blade shimmered across the valley. When the light subsided, a whole portion of the mountain top was sliced clean off, leaving a cut over a hundred square meters wide!

This sight made Chu Xiu’s eyes light up!

"Compared to the previous Heavy Hammer Ghost General, the newly born Warrior Ghost General lacks slightly in Power and Defense, but its agility and offensiveness are even superior!"

"Especially when paired with the General’s Weapon meant for warriors, its Power is doubled!"

The Power of that slash was so formidable that even Chu Xiu found it troublesome. If struck, one wouldn’t be split in two, but several bones would undoubtedly break.

Alas, he was now in dire need of protective gear, as the defense of the Skeleton Armor had nearly become negligible, and he hadn’t found any good Fierce Tier Armor.

This was also why he didn’t dare to use the Sin Punishing Demon Saber to duel with the Colonel; without Armor, the margin for error was too small! Even if he could win, Chu Xiu didn’t want to take any risks.

This amused Chu Xiu somewhat; his strongest traits used to be his defense and healing survival ability, but now they had become his weak points.

"Looks like I’ll have to intensify my cultivation of the Fifth Layer Golden Flesh and Nether Bone, or find a way to obtain good Armor."

"But that said, as long as the Ghostly Legion is strong enough, I don’t need to risk my life upfront."

This time, not only was a new Ghost General born, but the level of the previous Ghost General was elevated to Level 3, with its Constitution increased to 2400 points, and the overall Level of its subordinates was also raised from Level 3 to Level 5.

This means the energy absorbable by the Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique is greater, and the overall Power of the battle array is stronger!

"Once I have a few more Ghost Generals, I won’t even need to intervene personally. Just buffing them from the sky, the Ghostly Legion below could wear that Colonel down to death!"

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile. There were now two Ghost Generals, two hundred Fierce Ghosts, and countless Fierce Ghosts and Yin Ghosts within his Soul Banner! And he was only Level 5 in the Fierce Tier; hearing this would make other summoning professions despair.

Ordinary Summoners (B) with three same-tier summoned creatures are considered outstanding! Yet Chu Xiu had two hundred! Plus, two General Tiers! Not counting the Low Tier and Resurrected Corpses!

However, Chu Xiu wasn’t satisfied!

"There are still plenty of unused flesh and blood lying around."

Due to the Constitution of Corrupted creatures being far superior to Spirit, the Blood Fiend aiding the advancement of ghosts through the Soul Banner didn’t require that much, about a tenth was sufficient, a third was more than enough for over supplementing.

Previously, the remaining flesh and blood were used by Chu Xiu to complete the integrity of the Resurrected Corpses, but now, he had a better choice.

That naturally was the newly unlocked Corpse Refining Technique.

He gently pointed a finger, and suddenly the corpses across the mountain burst into flames, with the flesh being refined into a unique flame containing special Life Energy!

It was one of the top-secret techniques of Demon Sect’s Artifact Refining, the Corpse Fire Tempering!

With another thought from Chu Xiu, all the Resurrected Corpses advanced into the Corpse Fire.

Under the burning of the Corpse Fire, their forms and structures began to change, unnecessary parts melted and were burned to ashes, while needed parts were condensed and strengthened! And under the strange power of the Corpse Fire, different Resurrected Corpses melded together, with new parts and organs even forming!

For instance, the full structure of Blood Angels was preserved and continuously enhanced under the Corpse Fire, and the Baron’s corpse directly merged into its body, causing both muscle strength and bone density to soar! Moreover, it developed entirely new skin, making its surface defense even stronger!

Under the powerful Talent of Perfect Refining, over a dozen Resurrected Corpses fused with Master Level refining techniques, extracting their essence and discarding the dross, until only two remained.

The first had wings and long claws, long limbs, and bluish-purple skin, appearing like the legendary Yaksha Evil Ghost, while the other was burly, with knotted muscles, exuding a silver-gray metallic sheen, as if its skin was coated in a layer of Iron Armor.

The three types of Corpse Refinement possess different traits and must be refined based on the characteristics of the corpses. For instance, a corpse excelling in Defense should be refined into an Iron Armor Corpse for maximum efficiency, while using it to refine a nimble Flying Corpse would require extra resources.
