Facing the Abyss as a Demon Cultivator

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu decisively began to act.

This time, the ghoul corpses scattered throughout the stronghold numbered over sixty, and all of them were Black-Furred Ghouls! Most importantly, there was an 8th-rank ghoul and an Elite!

Chu Xiu decided to refine them all into his bone spear!

The reason he didn't continue to enhance the Bone Armor was that the armor consumed too much. Even if all the corpses were refined, it would only increase its enhancement level by one or two at most.

However, if used to enhance the bone spear, it would most likely push the bone spear to +10 enhancement, unlocking the final enchantment! Chu Xiu was very much looking forward to this third enchantment!

As he expected, as the ghoul corpses were fused into the bone spear, the material of the spear visibly became sturdier and sharper. In the end, it no longer looked like bone at all, but rather a special kind of jade, smooth to the touch!

Suddenly, as if breaking through a certain node, countless fine inscriptions began to appear on the bone spear, densely covering the entire shaft. An ancient, mysterious feeling washed over him!

[Enhanced Bone Spear +10]

[Enhancement Progress: \]

[Rank: F]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Final Enchantment Unlocked]

[Soul Pierce: When dealing damage to a living creature, it will also inflict an equal amount of damage to its soul (Spiritual Attack +2.0)]

The newly enhanced bone spear's attributes made Chu Xiu's eyes widen in surprise!

The effect of the enhancement was far beyond his expectations! Not only did the basic attributes increase across the board, but it also unlocked an extremely powerful enchantment!

Soul Pierce!

It could simultaneously strike the enemy's soul while causing physical damage! This was simply a super weapon against ghouls, whose spiritual attributes were relatively low!

"With this weapon, even 8th or 9th-rank ghouls would be vulnerable in front of me."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face.

If he had had this bone spear when he fought the Type-008 ghoul before, he definitely wouldn't have needed to spend so much time. It would have taken him at most half a minute to end the battle!

"And this is not all I've gained!"

After enhancing the bone spear, there were still some corpses left.

Chu Xiu directly refined them all into the Bone Yin Soul Banner.

This time, he had killed an Elite and a high-rank ghoul, both of which possessed extremely potent souls! And the results did not disappoint him. After a period of devouring each other, two 8th-rank Yin Ghosts were successfully born!

As Chu Xiu's thoughts moved, five ferocious and terrifying Yin Ghosts appeared behind him, like five loyal and fearless guards!

This gave Chu Xiu an unprecedented sense of security.

He couldn't help but sigh again, "Demonic Secret Arts are truly abnormal!"

Having two 7th-rank and three 8th-rank Yin Ghosts as subordinates at the 7th-rank, how could other professions compete?

One must know that even Summoners (B), who also possessed summoning skills, would be burning incense if they could have an 8th-rank summon at the 7th-rank. Most of them had a combination of one same-rank summon and two or three lower-rank summons.

And Chu Xiu's Bone Yin Soul Banner was only one of the secret arts he obtained from a single level up!

The gains from a single level up surpassed the entire system of another profession!

With these five Yin Ghosts, Chu Xiu's confidence soared!

Putting away his inner emotions, he put away all his equipment and prepared to officially begin his operation.

"Currently, there are no more ghouls in the apartment building. If I want to continue earning points, I have to go outside."

"However, it's too dangerous outside!"

Chu Xiu glanced out the window. Several giant birds were circling in the air. After gaining Blood Moon Perception, these D-rank flying creatures had become the most terrifying hunters. No creature on the open ground could escape their hunt.

Although Chu Xiu's strength had greatly increased, he was not arrogant enough to confront these creatures.

"Relying on the concrete structure of the apartment building, these big birds can't get in. So even if they know there is a lot of 'food' in the apartment building, they can only stare from the outside."

"But if I leave the apartment building, they will definitely attack immediately!"

"So I only have one choice left."

The underground parking lot.

That was the largest gathering place for ghouls in the entire apartment building.

At this time, in Chu Xiu's perception, he could feel a dazzling red glow flickering below.

Taking a deep breath, he began to move downstairs. When he reached the tenth floor, because of the proximity, the scattered red glow gradually solidified into small dots.

Chu Xiu was surprised to find that there were only five dots left in the huge parking lot!

This meant that an extremely fierce battle had taken place underground, and now, the battle seemed to be coming to an end.

His heart stirred, and he quickened his pace.

In just half a minute, he rushed to the first floor. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the parking lot, an indescribable stench surged out, causing him to frown unconsciously.

He carefully made his way down. The first floor of the parking lot was littered with shattered flesh and blood, and the dark, viscous blood almost covered the walls.

He endured the stench and continued downward, heading towards the five red dots.

Suddenly, one of the red dots began to weaken, then disappeared after flickering a few times! Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that another ghoul had died!

He quickened his pace and soon reached the bottom floor of the parking lot.

Then, he saw a scene that shocked him.

Near the center of the parking lot, four or five broken corpses lay scattered about. These corpses were huge, covered with thick exoskeletal carapaces. They were all high-level Type-008 ghouls!

And in the very center, four massive ghouls, each over three meters tall, were engaged in a fierce battle. Three of them were very familiar to Chu Xiu. They were the Type-008 ghouls with extremely terrifying defense. At this time, they were cooperating with each other, launching attacks at the ghoul in the middle!

The ghoul in the middle, although somewhat similar in appearance to the Type-008 ghouls, was much larger. Its arm muscles were thicker and denser! And strangely, a bulge protruded from its back, like a giant cyst. Through its wrinkled surface, one could see countless bulging blood vessels.

Every time the ghoul was attacked, blood-colored liquid would be injected into its body from the cyst, causing its injuries to heal rapidly!

This allowed it to fight against the three without falling behind!

Chu Xiu's expression turned serious as he activated his Ghostly Eyes.

Soon, a long list of data appeared before his eyes.
