Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

Chu Xiu was very much looking forward to the inheritance that was about to be unlocked.

Because generally speaking, the inheritance unlocked at level 7 is usually a relatively high-level magical secret technique.

But when he sank into his mind and understood it carefully, he frowned slightly.

"This"

Chu Xiu showed a bitter smile on his face and touched his chin helplessly.

Three inheritances appeared in front of him:

[Dead Bone Soul Binding Technique (Supreme Demon Lord): It can mobilize the power of the soul flag to form a soul binding to bind the enemy. The greater the soul power contained in the soul flag, the higher the proficiency of the technique, and the stronger the effect. ]

[Burning Blood Golden Eye (Innate God and Demon): It can cultivate a golden eye on the forehead to detect the enemy's attributes and see through illusions. The effect can be enhanced when injecting mana, and the "God and Demon Pressure" is applied to the target of the gaze, greatly reducing the enemy's ability to move. Consuming the origin of the golden fetus or one's own blood can further improve the effect. 】

[Ten Directions Demon Binding Rope (Duobao Demon Lord): Just lock the enemy with your spiritual consciousness, and after throwing it, you can automatically search for and bind the enemy, and continue to extract the opponent's magic power and attributes]

It's not that these three secret arts are not strong, which makes Chu Xiu a little disappointed.

On the contrary, these three secret arts are top secret arts that can only be practiced by the elders themselves, and the grades have all reached [Unique Learning]. It can be said to be very strong, very strong!

But the problem is

"The functions of these three inheritances seem to be a bit repeated?"

Chu Xiu scratched his head.

Whether it is the automatically unlocked Dead Bone Binding Soul Art or the other two, they all play the role of control skills.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually very reasonable.

Because almost all demon cultivators only choose one path to practice, from this perspective, you will find that the inheritance unlocked by each path is gradually cooperating to form its own system of combat methods.

At this stage, the attributes that should be improved have been improved almost, and the means of defense and attack are also available. It is indeed time for control skills.

But Chu Xiu only hesitated for a moment and adjusted himself.

"Actually, this is good."

"Of course, the more control skills, the better."

"As we all know, there is no weak control skill!"

And he really needs control skills now.

After the Golden Muscle and Dark Bone were cultivated to the fifth level and the Judgment Demon Sword was perfected, Chu Xiu's offense and defense were no longer weak, and they were abnormally strong.

In comparison, the only thing he lacked was flexibility and movement speed.

Although with the help of the super high basic physique and the wings of the vampire earl, his speed can also be comparable to that of a high-level general, but compared with the attack and defense capabilities, it is still a step behind.

For example, in the previous battle, if the colonel wanted to escape, he would not be able to keep the opponent no matter what. Even those corrupt awakeners, as long as they mastered special movement skills like the corrupt warriors, it would be quite troublesome for him to kill them.

And cultivating a control skill and slowing down the enemy's ability to move, isn't it equivalent to improving one's own ability to move in disguise!

In addition, although these three inheritances are all control skills, they actually have different focuses.

The Blood-burning Golden Eye can increase the ability of perception and reconnaissance, while the remaining two doors are one for "mental binding" and the other for "physical binding", which do not conflict with each other.

After a little thought, Chu Xiu quickly made a plan.

"Use the causal points to upgrade the Bone-burning Golden Eye first!"

This skill can not only provide control ability, but also enhance one's reconnaissance ability. It just so happens that the Ghost Demon Eye is out of date, so it is the most suitable to use it as a replacement.

"As for the remaining two doors, if there are extra Chinese coins later, I will consider buying materials for refining the Demon Binding Rope. I will practice the Soul-binding Art of the Dead Bone through daily battles."

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu was ready to invest in adding points.

He had a total of more than 80,000 causal points in this wave, which can be said to be rich again.

Before upgrading the skills, Chu Xiu still carefully scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense to ensure that there were no traces of the enemy. He didn't want to be interrupted when he was halfway through the upgrade.

However, after the inspection, just as Chu Xiu was about to practice with peace of mind, he suddenly noticed something, exclaimed, and looked at the soul-flesh storage bag on his waist.

During the time of checking the inheritance, the soul flag and the soul-flesh storage bag were both refining the soul and flesh at the same time.

Needless to say, the soul flag can be let the ghosts fight and devour and upgrade on their own, but the soul-flesh storage bag requires Chu Xiu to allocate some of his consciousness to operate it.

He did not waste the remaining 150,000 life energy in the sky-linking blood vine, but after a certain proportion was consumed, he moved all of it to the soul-flesh storage bag.

With so much life energy, the two corpses should not be a problem.

What caught Chu Xiu's attention was.

The colonel's body sitting in the middle of the soul-flesh storage bag was motionless at this time.

Chu Xiu naturally had high hopes for this excellent body with a physique of more than 5,000. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Could it be that the colonel's physique is too high, and the corpse refining technique does not work on him?"

"No, it shouldn't be. The Corpse Refining Manual was personally selected and improved by the elders of the Holy Sect. They are all big men who can destroy a small world with a wave of their hands. Not to mention 5,000 physiques, even 50,000 should not be a problem. It's just the difference in how much blood and flesh are consumed."

At this time, Chu Xiu noticed that Rasputin came to him at some point, looking up and down with a curious look on his face, as if he had discovered something, and muttered something in his mouth that Chu Xiu couldn't understand.

This made Chu Xiu look thoughtful.

With a thought, the colonel's body was moved out, which scared Rasputin.

Then, Chu Xiu expanded his consciousness and carefully scanned every corner of his body.

When he scanned the colonel's spiritual platform, he really found a clue. In the deepest part of his brain, there was a tiny black dot that was almost difficult to find.

It was this little black dot that was secretly manipulating the colonel's body and resisting refining.

If it weren't for the fact that the consciousness of the immortal cultivators was extremely magical, and Chu Xiu, who practiced the Infinite Reincarnation Art, had a very exquisite consciousness, and ranked high among the immortal cultivators, he really couldn't find any clues!

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and his consciousness turned into a big hand, about to wipe out the black dot.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a blur in front of his eyes, and saw that the black dot quickly expanded, like black paint splashed on the wall, and it completely covered Chu Xiu in just a moment!

Everything around was swallowed up, and when Chu Xiu reacted, he was already in a world without any light.

Chu Xiu's expression froze, but soon relaxed again.

He could feel that he was still connected to the real world. The scene in front of him was just an illusion created by the black spot after it exhausted its last strength.

It was still an unstable illusion.

Although the technique was quite clever, the energy contained in the black spot was too little. Chu Xiu could easily destroy the illusion as long as his spiritual consciousness increased.

But he was not in a hurry to do so. Instead, he looked into the depths of the illusion. In the darkness, there was an imperceptible chaotic creature.

Chu Xiu could not see its specific appearance, but he could feel an evil breath that he could not describe. Just by looking at it, it seemed that thousands of dead souls were entangled with him, whispering in his ears, and penetrating into his limbs.

This feeling was quite similar to when he stared at the bottom of the deep pit before, but this time it was stronger and clearer.

The Immortal Corpse King Amulet on his chest lit up slightly, obviously sensing some kind of intrusion, but perhaps this pollution was different from a direct mental attack, so he did not launch a counterattack.

Without further ado, Chu Xiu determined the identity of the being hidden in the depths of darkness.

The calamity at the bottom of the deep pit.

However, Chu Xiu still had no idea what it was. Was it the remaining soul of the dismembered blood demon? Or was it a creature that later occupied the blood demon's core and evolved again?

Chu Xiu didn't think much about it. He had nothing to talk about with this thing. With a move of his consciousness, he was ready to remove the last trace of the calamity left on the colonel.

"Wait."

But at this moment, he felt an ancient thought rising in his mind.

"Outsider, I want to talk to you."

"I don't think there's any need for us to talk."

"Oh? Now the awakened ones don't even need the causal points and [Legend] equipment?"

"I told you, I can get it myself."

"Really?" The existence in the chaos laughed softly, "If that's the case, why don't you break the illusion, and why did you abandon your large army and come alone before?"

The words of the disaster made Chu Xiu frown slightly, and he stopped talking, just looking at the other party thoughtfully.

The laughter of the disaster continued to sound: "Humans are always like this, no matter which world they are in, there is no change at all. Unless they are in a desperate situation of life and death, there will always be struggles and suspicions."

Chu Xiu showed a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "When did the fish on the chopping board have the right to point out the world?"

This sentence seemed to have touched the pain point of the disaster, making it silent.

After a long while, its thoughts rang again, but this time it did not continue the previous topic, but asked a strange question: "Do you know how many years I stayed at the bottom of the deep pit?"

"Not interested."

"Three hundred and forty-one years."

Chu Xiu paused, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The destruction of the shelter was obviously later than that of the corpse ghost city, and the corpse ghost city was only about thirty years away from the end of the world. If the disaster did not lie to him, could this guy have been underground for a long time?

Catching Chu Xiu's surprise, the disaster laughed softly: "Sure enough, you still know nothing about the abyss."

"As long as you know a little bit, you will know that cooperating with me can get far more benefits than now."

"Just say it." Chu Xiu did not comment.

"When I came to this world, I noticed a kind of insect." The disaster's thoughts continued to come.

"It will hide its eggs in the fruit of the banyan tree. When the male insects hatch, they will find the eggs of the female insects as soon as possible and fertilize them before they hatch. From your human perspective, it is equivalent to a baby who can't wait to mate with its sister who is still a fetus as soon as it is born."

"After fertilization, the male insects will immediately bite the peel of the fruit with their fangs to help the female insects open a passage to the outside world, and this will exhaust their life's strength. When the passage is opened, the male insects' lives will come to an end."

"And the female insects are not much better. They will not stop looking for the next fruit and lay their eggs that they have just fertilized before their lives end."

"Do you think there is any meaning in the life of this kind of insect?"

The question of Disaster made Chu Xiu frown even deeper: "I don't care about the life of insects."

Disaster didn't care about Chu Xiu's words, but answered on his own: "It has no meaning. Their lives have no meaning. Everything they do in their lives is for reproduction, just for reproduction."

“Reproduction is an instinct of life, but does it really have meaning in itself?”

"If you think of a population as an individual, then reproduction is equivalent to extending the life of this individual. But even if you have an infinite lifespan, if the price is that you can't accomplish anything in an infinite life, then is such a life still meaningful? ?”

Chu Xiu was completely impatient: "I told you, I am not interested in the life of insects, let alone discuss philosophy with a bunch of chaotic things."

"If you talk nonsense again, I will end this illusion directly."

"What I want to say is that this is true for any place that is swallowed by the abyss," Calamity's thoughts sounded. "Where I live, there are a large number of corrupted creatures, many of which have reached the level of warrior, ferocious or even general." A powerful individual, placed outside, is enough to become a servant of the gods or a powerful hero."

"But after being swallowed, they all lost their free will. The only meaning of their existence is existence itself, even me."

"In this case, time loses its meaning. It is a common thing in the abyss that different areas have different time flow rates, because no matter how long it takes, there will be no change. Maybe you see those tens of millions The corrupted creatures and the bottomless pit will feel shocking, but in fact we are just moving along the established track. We cannot achieve anything, and we will inevitably meet our end in the end. "

"But the arrival of outsiders can break all this and allow us to briefly surface from the mire of the abyss."

"So, don't you still want to thank us?" Chu Xiu was a little funny.

Calamity's words reminded him that Su Jinyu had said similar things before, but she only mentioned it briefly at the time. Now Chu Xiu has a clearer understanding.

"I want to thank you, but if I want to completely escape from the abyss, I have to fight against you." Disaster continued.

"The Awakened view us as food for upgrading, and we must devour everything before we can use this power to escape. You will not give up this world willingly, and I will not sit still and wait for death. This is an unavoidable knot."

"In this case, why is there any need to cooperate?" Chu Xiu asked.

Calamity laughed again: "It's very simple. The knot is from an overall perspective, but it's not necessarily between you and me."

"You help me gather enough strength to give this world to me, and I will give you rewards far beyond what you can normally get. Karma points? Is three hundred thousand enough? Legendary equipment? Do you want three or five? "

"I know you are not a person who cares about the life and death of other people? Anyway, you awakened people can go to other worlds, and it is not unacceptable to give one to me."

Disaster's words really made Chu Xiu look thoughtful.

According to the normal trend, even if he successfully killed Calamity, it would be difficult for him to grab too many good things from the four kings.

Most of the awakened kings have formed mature fighting bodies. Their offense, defense, agility, and control have all been optimized to the best level. They are completely at the same level as ordinary king-level creatures in terms of combat power.

Moreover, those who can enter the king level are basically Awakened ones above level A. They are very talented and have rich combat experience, which makes it extremely difficult to fight beyond the level, not to mention that the four of them are not low-level kings yet. They are all senior awakened people who have stayed in the King Rank for at least five years.

Chu Xiu has never fought against enemies of this level. Although he thinks that his basic attributes are not much different, he is not the only one with high-level inheritance. King-level awakeners basically have very difficult special skills. In this case, Chu Xiu didn't dare to say that he could get it done by himself.

Disaster strikes while the iron is hot: "And I can make an oath that even after I grow up, I will keep your [anchor point] and only destroy other people's [anchor points], so that this world will completely become the future of you and me." Garden, we use all the resources.”

"Is this proposal generous enough?"

Chu Xiu didn't speak, just stood there and thought silently, while Calamity looked at him expectantly.

However, the next moment, he caught the disdainful sarcasm in Chu Xiu's eyes.

Huge spiritual consciousness surged out of Chu Xiu's body, sweeping around like countless heavy hammers. The illusion began to shatter like countless lenses under the impact.

"Why are you!!!" Disaster's confused roar came from the depths of the illusion, and he immediately became furious.

"You holy idiot! Do you think you are the only choice I have?"

"If you don't agree, someone else will agree!"

"After you are stabbed in the back by your own companion, I will definitely come and see your expression of regret and despair in person!"

In the roar of disaster, the illusion was completely shattered, leaving only Chu Xiu's figure standing calmly.

"Just now, was I called a virgin?"

"Does it think that I don't agree to it because of moral reasons?"

Chu Xiu was a little amused. This was the first time that someone called him a virgin.

And the reason why he refused the disaster was also very simple.

Chu Xiu's growth was far above everyone else's.

You must know that he has only awakened for less than two months now!

This terrifying speed of improvement in strength made it possible for those opponents who were evenly matched with Chu Xiu to be left far behind in just a week or two.

"Share the world of zombies equally with you? No, I want the entire world of zombies by myself!"

Of course, the more important point that made Chu Xiu make this decision was that it was easy to be cheated when cooperating with a superior being like Disaster due to information asymmetry. For example, Chu Xiu knew about the intelligence about the abyss for the first time.

It is possible that after the other party has crossed a bottleneck or met a certain condition, its strength suddenly began to increase significantly, and Chu Xiu was caught off guard.

He was sure that the other party was not a person with a spirit of contract. Once the situation was reversed, he would definitely turn his face faster than turning a book.

In this case, it is safer to stand on the side of humans and use the existing order system to develop gradually.

"Anyway, as long as I upgrade step by step, I can realize my potential. Why should I let the long-term development change because of a temporary petty profit?"

So Chu Xiu had no idea of ​​cooperating with him at all. He listened to the other party for so long, just wanting to know more information.

"But. That guy's last words do make sense. We have to be on guard."

Although Chu Xiu would not cooperate with him because of his own high potential, it was different for others. As Qin Xiang said, it was not surprising that the kings trapped below the heroic spirit took risks for this.

"You still have to have the power to crush others!"

Chu Xiu let out a long breath and cast several spells. Immediately, the refining speed of both the soul flag and the soul and flesh storage capsule became much faster.

Then, he focused his attention on the inheritance of [Burning Blood Golden Eyes].

Add points!
