Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 279 - 167: Preparations for the Final Battle

Chapter 279: Chapter 167: Preparations for the Final Battle

"Boom!"

Amidst the explosion, the broken fuselage caught fire fiercely in the air, tumbling as it fell, finally crashing onto the mountain top, triggering a violent explosion. The launched missiles flew randomly through the air for a while before erupting into a splendid display of fireworks.

The scene seemed to quiet down all of a sudden, leaving only the crackling sound of burning flames.

Upon seeing this from afar, three corrupted Awakened abruptly halted their forms in the air. Without any hesitation, they turned around and fled!

Chu Xiu also did not pursue further. The Four-winged Strange Bird was already injured, and with just the Vampire Count’s Wings of the Fierce Tier, it couldn’t catch up to those guys.

He turned around. The Four-winged Strange Bird had barely stabilized its form, and Su Jinyu, who was lying on its back, was looking at him with a face full of shock.

To slash a heavy fighter jet, over ten meters long and weighing several dozen tons, into two halves in mid-air with a single strike was an extremely shocking sight, even for an Awakened.

"Is this guy really at the Fierce Tier?"

Su Jinyu mused to herself. Before she was [Corrupted], she was also a highly regarded genius in the Kyoto Research Institute. Moreover, being selected as the fiancée by the four prominent families, she could be considered a member of the upper class. Although not skilled in combat, her insight was not low, and she had encountered several disciples of the Celestial King.

But even the top-ranked disciples of the Celestial King didn’t seem as brutal as Chu Xiu.

More surprisingly, Chu Xiu seemed to be in the Summoning Profession, didn’t he?

The Summoned Creatures under him were each more perverse than the last, and capable of overwhelming the Level 9 General Tier, Huang Guohua, a super boss that his Summoned Creatures could withstand!

Is this reasonable?

"Could he be some bored bigwig masquerading as a fool?"

Su Jinyu speculated. Otherwise, having such terrifying strength just a month and a half after awakening was too unreasonable.

"Or perhaps an illegitimate child of some big shot?"

If he was the offspring of a Celestial King, it would barely make sense. Spending a few million Cause and Effect Points could even turn a pig into a genius. Theoretically, advancing from the Mortal Tier to the General Tier in a week wasn’t impossible, it’s just that no one would waste resources so idly.

But regardless, Su Jinyu clearly realized that the person before her was definitely not someone she could provoke.

"If I cling tight to such a powerhouse, it might be my opportunity to turn things around, but if he tries to shirk the reward, I must not show any dissatisfaction, lest it leads to my demise."

While Su Jinyu was nervously pondering internally, Chu Xiu also returned to the back of the Four-winged Strange Bird.

He regretfully glanced down below.

Currently, both his Soul Banner and Corpse Refinement required a considerable amount of blood and flesh to cultivate.

Unfortunately, after collecting all the [Pollutants] nearby, all the corrupted creatures retracted back into the deep pit.

The enemy wasn’t foolish. Knowing they couldn’t beat Chu Xiu, they wouldn’t send troops to train him recklessly.

"Intercepting midway is manageable, but entering the deep pit poses too great a risk."

The narrow corridors in the deep pit didn’t suit Chu Xiu’s high mobility. If a Colonel blocked the way, there would be no escape, only a fight to the death.

Besides, who knows what terrifying things might lurk inside the deep pit? Not to mention the ordinary corrupted Awakened, if five or six came at once, even Chu Xiu would struggle. These guys had specialized equipment and skills, no weaker than an Awakened of the same General Tier.

Rashly entering was too risky.

"Forget it, I’ve already increased my strength tremendously by killing so many corrupted creatures, no need to be too greedy."

Since Chu Xiu arrived here, it had only been half a day but he had already leveled up four times, with the cultivation progress of each of his backgrounds skyrocketing as well. This speed of power enhancement was unbelievably fast.

"And I have indeed consumed too much, needing time to rest."

The recent frenzied slaughter using the Sin Punishing Demon Saber had left Chu Xiu’s already scarce mana almost depleted, and the Golden Embryo Origin consumed earlier by the Blood Feeding had yet to recover.

Considering this, Chu Xiu calmed his mindset, drank a bottle of Recovery Potion, and began resting on the spot.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed his clone in Abyss City was conveying a message; someone was trying to contact him.

He concentrated, sending a portion of his consciousness into Abyss City.

Not far away, Su Jinyu, watching Chu Xiu sit cross-legged with closed eyes, opened her mouth, but eventually said nothing, and began recovering her own energy consumption.

...

A minute later, Chu Xiu’s consciousness descended into Abyss City.

In front of him, Qin Xiang’s consciousness had been waiting for quite some time.

"Senior Qin, you were looking for me?"

Qin Xiang nodded, getting straight to the point, "I sought you out to understand the situation. You should be near the military zone by now, right? Are you aware of the calamity being birthed there?"

With those words, Chu Xiu instantly understood Qin Xiang’s intention. It must have been the Ravager Team or Xue Li and others who reported the intel up the chain.

He didn’t hide anything, candidly outlining the matters related to the deep pit succinctly.

After listening, Qin Xiang pondered for a while, then asked, "I heard there’s a particularly powerful monster there, even more so than the martial artist Huang Guohua. Do you know about it?"

"It has very high Constitution, conservatively estimated to exceed five thousand, but lacks flexibility. I can’t discern anything else," Chu Xiu replied truthfully.

"Alright," Qin Xiang nodded, saying, "We’ll organize a group to eliminate it immediately, but it’ll take at least three to four days."

"There are currently three vacant slots left, and they are still being auctioned. Additionally, the communication facilities at the stronghold have yet to be completed, so contacting all parties won’t be fast; it might even take a week."
