Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The voice continued.

"Anchor Point?"

"Yes, a transmission anchor point, that’s all."

With the words, Cang Kai felt an object enter his body. That object seemed like a complex stream of data, spreading towards his Spirit Platform, attempting to connect with his Divine Soul.

This is the Independent Anchor Point.

The Anchor Point had been pre-positioned within Cang Kai’s consciousness. Only in this way could Chu Xiu open the channel, mobilizing the Power of Civilization to remold his body.

But if Cang Kai’s consciousness resisted, the power of the Anchor Point would not be replenished, and it would eventually slowly detach.

"Accept my power, save your comrades."

"No need to bargain anymore, you know you have no choice. You are merely seeking peace of mind, and I can guarantee you, I have no interest in you or your comrades..."

Information came without the slightest emotional fluctuation, but Cang Kai felt an undeniable sense of oppression.

Indeed, a powerful entity that could even remold flesh, if it wished harm upon them, why bother with such complications?

As the other party said, he actually had no choice, only seeking a peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Cang Kai no longer resisted, allowing the Anchor Point to merge with his consciousness.

At the moment of surrendering resistance, he felt something like smooth, delicate little fish swimming into his consciousness, as if something extra appeared within his Divine Soul.

Simultaneously, he sensed on the other end of the Anchor Point connection, on the other side of the fissure, a consciousness immense and fierce!

Almost instinctively, Cang Kai’s Divine Soul shrank in fear, though someone who fought through the Sea of Blood and Knife Mountain, Cang Kai did not fear the strong, yet the reaction of his Divine Soul was an irresistible instinct, preventing the other from easily obliterating his weak soul!

"This sense of oppression is definitely stronger than that Outer Realm Demon!"

"What tier could this entity be?"

Momentarily, Cang Kai was filled with shock.

In fact, he did not know, Chu Xiu’s Divine Soul might not necessarily be stronger than that Outer Realm Demon.

Yet, whether it was the Fighting Spirit or the Yama Scripture, both were Divine Techniques of unimaginable tier. The former was an upper-level existence of another dimension for ordinary souls, while the latter ruled over myriad fierce ghost souls.

Across a time-space distance of unknown billions of kilometers, it was not difficult for Cang Kai to sense the specific strength of Chu Xiu’s Divine Soul, yet the supreme fierce aura within Chu Xiu’s Divine Soul fused into an irresistible impression, leaving a mark on Cang Kai’s brain.

This was a simple misunderstanding, but Chu Xiu did not have the reason to explain it.

For Cang Kai, the more aware he was of the power disparity, the easier for Chu Xiu to take control.

This control was not about explicit resistance, but behind-the-scenes maneuvers. The psychological oppression from an omniscient and omnipotent God is entirely different from that exerted by a powerful Demigod.

This world Chu Xiu still saw as very promising, with a vast population base, modern science and technology, and a complete Cultivation System. As long as it broke free from the suppression of the Outer Realm Demon, its development speed would be highly rapid.

Moreover, its strategic position was quite essential, not to mention the relics left by God’s corpse nearby. Merely establishing substantial contact with the Blood Crystal Civilization, a High Tier Civilization, deemed this position valuable enough for Chu Xiu.

He now had a bunch of coordinates of Tenth-level Civilizations but absolutely no means to connect with them. If this trial could succeed, these Awakened would form a connection with this world, and Chu Xiu might be able to climb step by step.

"Of course, the premise is to complete the mission first—"

Chu Xiu pointed a finger, and instantly pure Spiritual Power and consciousness transmitted via the portal.

The Power of Civilization is a challenging force to manifest. Even Chu Xiu merely relied on the Master of Civilization’s authority to mobilize it, yet could not fathom its core principle.

Of course, even the Master of Civilization cannot mobilize the Power of another civilization, not even an unowned civilization.

What Chu Xiu did was merely to activate this force.

Everything thereafter—

Was the Civilization’s wish.

The people wanted their hero resurrected, so the Power of Civilization remolded Cang Kai’s body.

And this world’s billions of people’s suffering over hundreds of years, their will to resist, their collective prayers, the power gathered by all these beliefs, naturally goes far beyond simply remolding a body!

Fiery Civilization Power erupted within Cang Kai, his entire body bathed in Radiance, his aura elevating at an astonishing pace!

Cang Kai wanted power that could free his comrades from suffering.

At this moment, Cang Kai’s wish was the people’s wish!

Pure power surged from within Cang Kai, the magnitude and vastness of it shocked even Chu Xiu!

In mere seconds, Cang Kai’s tier rapidly soared, from King Tier Level 5, King Tier Level 6 all the way to... Heroic Spirit!

"Boom!"

A massive shockwave exploded within the cavern, a fierce light pillar soared into the sky, even obscuring the sun’s Radiance!

"A Heroic Spirit already?"

Even though Chu Xiu knew the marvels of Civilization Power, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in astonishment. Boosting someone from King Tier to Heroic Spirit within seconds, without needing to participate in trials, what sort of might was this?

Furthermore, Chu Xiu could even sense that the Civilization Power within Cang Kai had yet to be fully exhausted! Instead, it continued to accumulate power converging from all directions, as if something was about to be nurtured from within!

Possibly, when the world’s faith further gathers onto Cang Kai, that immense Civilization Power might fully manifest into substance!

"Is it the treasure manifested by Civilization Power as Vengeance mentioned?"

Chu Xiu hadn’t anticipated such a serendipitous result, which invigorated his Spirit.

"The simplest way to gather the world’s hearts is naturally by winning an exhilarating battle under everyone’s gaze!"

At King Tier Level 4, Cang Kai could contend briefly with four Full Level King Tier Awakened from advanced civilizations due to his high Combat Talent and special Constitution.

Now becoming a Heroic Spirit, what level of combat power could he exert? Chu Xiu was very much looking forward to it!

"In that case, let me add more fuel to your fire."

Chu Xiu raised his hand and called forth three pieces of Mythical Equipment, Chiwen, Stellar Pulse Gloves, and Imperial Five Dragon Crown, which appeared beside him! Then he infused them with massive pure Spiritual Power!

Only when all three Mythical Equipment emitted a hum, with energy infused to the limit, did Chu Xiu stop.

He flicked his hand, sending the three Mythical Equipments through the transmission channel, toward Cang Kai’s location!

...

"Second Brother! Do you really intend to strike against our brothers?"

"Sixth, I owe you all, but my daughter is still young. I can’t bear to see her tormented by those beasts..."

"So you intend to trade your brothers’ lives for her safety!"

In the canyon, hundreds of warriors engaged in close combat, fiercely fighting, with their former comrades’ broken bodies lying sprawled on the ground.

Huang Weidong remembered back when he snatched a comrade’s body, suffering seven knife wounds, rushing madly through the throngs for three hours to finally drag the corpse out.

But now, of the brothers dead by his hands alone, there were no fewer than five.

His heart was long drowned in sorrow and guilt, his brain’s protective mechanism making him feel no emotion anymore.

All he did now was hunt, relentless hunting, using every means, every ounce of strength to hunt!

...

In the distant sky, Xi Ya’s face showed no expression, differing from her prior calm, now utterly indifferent.

Blood Crystal Power surged around her, transforming into countless blades towards the remaining two Awakened, each blade aiming at vital spots, every strike merciless, every move aimed to kill!

The other two were already at a disadvantage, yet they showed no signs of pleading, their eyes as sinister as venomous snakes, seeking a chance for a fatal strike.

They had abandoned all moral considerations, focused solely on taking the opponent’s life!

Outside the hunting ritual, crowds dragged anyone remotely connected to the Rebel Army, possibly only selling them breakfast once, onto the streets in large numbers, while the surrounding people screamed, roared, some even rushed to beat them, as if the slaughter within the ritual stirred their desire for violence.

Just like countless hunting rituals past, when the ritual ended, morality and restraint vanished, leaving only eternal hunting, eternal survival of the fittest.

"Buzz!!!"

Suddenly, a ground-shaking boom exploded in the ritual site!

All those fighting, slaughtering halted.

They turned to look towards the direction of the sound’s origin, where a dazzling pillar of light was rapidly ascending.
