An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 352 The Bronze King
The King of Bronze.

This was a name that Chu Xiu had never heard of before.

But for a terrifying creature that has lived for 670,000 years, its accumulated resources must be so vast that they are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"If even you are afraid, then what merit do I have to stop the Bronze King?" Chu Xiu raised his eyes to look at the God of Pain. "Clearly, this is a deal where the risk outweighs the reward."

"You don't need to confront the Bronze King head-on; you just need to thwart his plans."

"He only sent a descending avatar, along with some trusted aides and agents. But don't forget, the high-ranking blood demons in the Blood Sea world can be your best help."

"You may not know this, but just three days ago, the first demigod blood demon was born."

Unaware that Chu Xiu possessed a Blood Demon Incarnation and was also a contender for the Blood Law, Mugos spoke confidently: "Those high-ranking Blood Demons are not to be underestimated. As remnants of the Blood Pool, their status is already quite high. After mastering the Blood Law, they become almost invincible among demigods, and even have the potential to kill pseudo-gods!"

Is Rasputin that strong?
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm, saying only, "I can cooperate with you, but a mere piece of equipment is too little!"

“What else do you want?” Mgos asked.

“Props, blessings, karmic points, and intelligence,” Chu Xiu said.

The God of Pain pondered for a moment and said, "Since we are cooperating, I will naturally share intelligence with you and increase the assistance I provide as appropriate. However, I will only distribute more after you have achieved results."

Chu Xiu pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Chu Xiu agreed, Mugos breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Xiu could feel the joy rising within that mutilated body. At that moment, a spatial rift opened behind it, and a beam of blood-red light shot out from it!

The blood-red light turned out to be a small set of blood-red armor. Although the armor was smaller, the aura it emitted was even more astonishing! It made Chu Xiu feel a sense of dread!

The armor fused into the killer's armor, like a miraculous elixir, giving the armor, which had been ravaged by sword energy, a new lease on life!
Distorted flesh and blood gushed from the gaps in the armor, filling the broken gaps. Sharp bone spikes grew from inside the armor, and the killer's body disintegrated further, along with his wailing and screaming soul, all of which were completely devoured by this bizarre armor.

When the killer's body completely disappeared, a suit of heavy armor, seemingly forged from the bones of a wild beast, shimmering with dazzling spiritual light and filled with mutated flesh, appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

[Divinely Bestowed Living Armor]

Current Rank: Demigod

[True Rank: Demigod]

[Rank: Mythical]

[Attribute 1: Constitution +40000, greatly increasing life recovery ability.]

[Attribute 2: Can activate the barbs inside the armor, entering the 'Painful Sacrifice' state, granting an additional 20000 Constitution and further enhancing health regeneration.]

[Attribute 3: Consuming divine power can activate the Pain Domain. All the pain you cause and suffer within the domain will be converted into life force. Enemies within the domain will be constantly subjected to mental attacks of pain.]

[Attribute 4: Consuming divine power can summon a Pain Servant, whose rank is "Heroic Spirit." The Servant possesses all the characteristic skills of the Heroic Spirit stage of the "Pain Sequence." While in the Pain Domain, all attributes are further enhanced, and the Servant's body endures immense pain, which can be converted into life force by the domain.]

[Attribute Five: The armor contains a mutated soul. When the mutated soul is present, it provides mutated flesh and blood to enhance life regeneration and can bear "pain" in place of the original body. When the pain endured exceeds the limit, it transforms into the Pain Mutation Avatar. The Avatar Avatar possesses all the trait skills of the demigod stage in the "Pain Sequence" and is ranked as "demigod".]

[Special Attribute: Equipment imbued with the divine power of the extraterrestrial demon Mugos gains the "Unlimited" trait, allowing perfect activation of the equipment without the need for a visually awakened rank. However, the equipment will become unusable once the divine power is exhausted.]

Current Divine Power: 100/100

The attributes before him made Chu Xiu's eyes nearly pop out.

This is a divine artifact bestowed by the extraterrestrial demons!
He originally thought that the other party might give him something like a [Mythical] equipment, but the heavy armor in front of him completely exceeded Chu Xiu's expectations!
After sensing the terrifying power of the armor, Chu Xiu's eyes revealed a rare look of wild joy.

[Unrestricted Equipment]!!! Equipment that perfectly unleashes power without requiring the Awakened to see visual effects!
This is simply a magical artifact that perfectly meets his current needs!
Because of his own rank, even with powerful equipment, he could only exert less than one-tenth of his power, and could only forcefully drive it using divine and demonic power and the essence of magic weapons.

But right now, this is a demigod myth that can perfectly unleash its power!
The only slight drawback is that, since this equipment is directly driven by the power of extraterrestrial demons, it cannot be further enhanced with the power of gods and demons and the essence of magic weapons, and the divine power will be continuously consumed.

Chu Xiu estimated that the divine power within this heavy armor was the bargaining chip between the extraterrestrial demon and him. If Chu Xiu could not satisfy it later, the other party only needed to stop replenishing Chu Xiu's divine power, and this armor would directly turn into a pile of scrap iron.

Even so, Chu Xiu was quite satisfied, because the armor's attributes were simply too abnormal.

It immediately increases constitution by 40,000, and after activating Painful Sacrifice, it can increase it by another 20,000!
A constitution of 60,000 can directly enhance a Heroic Spirit into a demigod!

The subsequent attributes are interconnected, each one more outrageous than the last! Not only does it possess a domain, but it can even eventually summon a demigod henchman!
"With this in mind, wouldn't I already have four domains?"

"And this is a domain activated by a demigod myth, which is stronger than my other three domains."

"The final summon is even more outrageous."

A demigod possessing all the 'suffering sequences'
Although Chu Xiu had never formally summoned it, he was certain that it was far beyond the reach of ordinary demigods. Even if it was not as powerful as the Heavenly King, it was at least at the level of a strong demigod like Chen Huang or Shenwei Daoren!

"This equipment should be based on a demigod myth, but with the divine power of extraterrestrial demons added on top, making it stronger than a typical demigod myth!"

"No wonder Mgos is confident he can help me fight against the Heavenly King!"

"If only the killer had had this equipment back then."

Chu Xiu felt he had been forced to use the [Deep Diving Safety Rope] and slunk away.

If he wasn't mistaken, the killer's previous armor was just the [Heroic Spirit Myth], which not only had significantly reduced attributes but also prevented him from activating his domain and lacked the [Abnormal Soul] trait.

This piece of armor is enough to express Mgos's sincerity!

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Mgos asked with a smile.

Chu Xiu said, "Please tell me about the task I need to complete first."

"Even the best equipment is useless if you're still alive."

Mgos nodded and said, "As far as I know, the Bronze King has high hopes for the Blood Sea World. He not only planted many 'agents' in advance, but also sent several confidants here, and even specially cultivated a 'vessel' for his descent."

"And your goal is to prevent the arrival of the Bronze King."

"Whether you kill His agents and confidants or unite with other blood demons to cause trouble for Him, you will receive my reward, and I will continuously replenish your divine power."

"And if you kill the container and completely destroy his plan—how about ten million causal points? That's a pretty good number, isn't it?"

Ten million causal points!
Even Chu Xiu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids slightly.

However, he calmly said, "With such a generous reward, his subordinates must be far more troublesome than the murderer, right?"

Mgos laughed, "Actors are easy to talk about, most of them are probably not as good as Li Ge. Oh, by the way, there's a good example. Do you remember that woman in Pengcheng who was only a general, but could kill kings with her words? You should still know her."

"Su Jinyu?" Chu Xiu's expression shifted.

Mgos nodded: "She is one of the agents of the Bronze King."

"But something went wrong, and she was abandoned as a pawn, even traded to O'Brien and thrown into the battle of Pengcheng."

"Imagine the other agents' strength as equivalent to hers at the Heroic Spirit level."

After saying this, Chu Xiu showed a hint of surprise. He then recalled that when he helped Su Jinyu, he had indeed suppressed and eliminated a wisp of her consciousness.

Nine times out of ten, it's the will of the Bronze King. If Chu Xiu isn't mistaken, following the normal course of events, Su Jinyu should have been completely assimilated by the ancient god's relic, leaving only vague instincts, and then taken over by the will of the Bronze King, becoming a terrifying fighting force.

"I never imagined that I and this Bronze King were old enemies," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

As he pondered silently, Mgos added, "Of course, these agents are certainly not like Lig, who is still a master of civilization, so as long as you are careful, dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult."

"What we really need to pay attention to are the Bronze King's trusted followers."

"Strong?"

“Very strong.” Mgos’s expression turned serious for the first time. “O’Brien, who attacked your Pengcheng this time, is just an extraterrestrial demon who has been a demon for less than three thousand years. He is young and lacks foundation.”

"Even with this, he was able to train thirteen warriors. You can imagine how terrifying the Bronze King's foundation is."

"Any of His personally dispatched trusted men would likely be no weaker than O'Brien's top general, let alone those few powerful warriors He sent."

Mgos didn't say anything more, but shook his head and said, "In short, you can't win by yourself alone. What you need to do is unite with other blood demons and use their power to fight against the Bronze King. Only then will you have a better chance of winning."

"Is that so?" Chu Xiu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Even the weakest among them possess the strength of a first-class general, which is equivalent to a strong demigod. So, wouldn't the strongest among them be comparable to a Heavenly King?
If the Bronze King really lived for 670,000 years, then it wouldn't be surprising if the powerful beings who emerged under his command were even stronger than the Heavenly Kings.

Of course, the lifespan of a demigod is not infinite, so only by witnessing their power can one know exactly how strong they are.

Knowing what was going on, Chu Xiu didn't ask any more questions. He looked at Mugos again, a strange smile on his face.

"By the way, there's something else I'd like to ask."

"What's the matter?"

"I wonder if the Boundless Blood Pool can descend upon the Blood Sea World either in its true form or by sending its subordinate gods?"

Mgos was slightly taken aback: "Why are you asking this?"

Chu Xiu smiled innocently: "It's just that I accidentally offended the Blood Pool, and I'm a little worried about being hunted down by Him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the arena fell silent. Mgos looked at Chu Xiu in astonishment, his jaw twitching slightly as he saw only half of his head remaining.

"Have you offended a supreme god?"

"kindness."

"How serious is it?"

"It must be pretty serious, right?"

Mgos was about to curse.

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!

Now that I've already bestowed upon you the divine weapon, you're only speaking up now!

Do you think demigod mythology is as common as cabbage? Do you know how much divine power it took to forge that artifact?
Based on a demigod myth, it is combined with a heroic myth and a powerful heroic spirit, plus the divine power accumulated over two hundred years!
Even it would feel the pinch, and hesitated for a long time before bestowing the gift upon Chu Xiu because of his talent.

Now you're telling me you've directly offended the Blood Pool?
Moreover, it just can't figure it out no matter how hard it tries.

How the hell did you, a mere King-level being, manage to offend a supreme god?!
Mgos's chest heaved violently, and the mutated flesh inside the living armor expanded and contracted as if taking a deep breath.

After a long while, He sighed helplessly and said, "Unless that lord hates you to the bone, he most likely won't take action against you personally. At most, he'll send a few divine servants over."

"Space travel is not a simple matter, and it may even go against your intuition. Sometimes it is more difficult for gods to travel than for demigods."

"Huh, is that so?" Chu Xiu looked surprised.

Mgos nodded: "Let's not even talk about us Star Gods, our true form is a planet. We can't just teleport to a planet, can we?"

"And those gods who become gods through the laws also have their own limitations."

"These deities are called 'Rules Gods,' and they are usually subordinates of a higher-ranking deity. For example, the Boundless Blood Pool is a subordinate of the God-King who controls the 'Law of Life.'"

"Since these gods have replaced the [rules] and possess [authority] that surpasses that of ordinary gods, they naturally have to bear the responsibility of maintaining the [rules] and usually do not leave their territory easily."

This was the first time Chu Xiu had heard of this. He never imagined that someone as powerful as the Blood Pool was merely a subordinate of an even stronger god. If you really wanted to be serious, wasn't he just a "servant god"?

"It seems that to be free from all restrictions, one must either rely on the complete laws of the world to become a world god, or discover one's own independent path to godhood," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

However, this was good news for Chu Xiu, basically meaning that the Blood Pool would not allow any beings of god-level to cause him trouble.

In fact, the requests he made earlier were just a smokescreen; what he really valued was intelligence!

Without understanding this point, how could he dare to enter the Blood Sea World at will?
Now I feel much more at ease. He is qualified to continue to compete for the opportunities in the Blood Sea World.

Having a clear understanding of the situation, Chu Xiu asked for more information about the Blood Sea Ritual, and Mgos told him everything he knew.

Finally, it told Chu Xiu the first task:
“In your civilization, there exists an ‘agent’ of the Bronze King.”

“Find him and kill him. After that, I will recharge your artifact and reward you with 200,000 causal points.”

"Two hundred thousand?" Chu Xiu frowned. "Isn't that a bit low?"

"Short my ass!" Mgos glared. "This is actually helping yourself. I haven't even held it against you for keeping things from me. Don't act innocent after getting the benefit!"

Chu Xiu chuckled and said nothing more.

Two hundred thousand karma points is indeed a lot, but he has encountered many opportunities and gained a large number of karma points, so he looks down on it.

An ordinary heroic spirit might not be able to accumulate this many causal points even after three or four years of normal exploration in the abyss.

Without saying another word, Chu Xiu initiated the escape and returned to Blue Star.

He found a secluded place and quietly secluded himself to recover from the injuries he sustained in the battle against the killer.

This battle was almost the most miserable and dangerous one he had ever faced since entering the abyss. It forced him to reveal all his trump cards, and his hard-won ghost army was severely weakened.

"However, as long as we have the power to go deep into the bottom of the Hundred Ghosts Furnace, the lost ghosts can be replenished quickly."

Overall, his gains this time far outweighed his losses.

Especially the government's rewards!
Five days later, when he had fully recovered, Zhao Jie also brought news.

"After internal discussions within our government, we have decided to award you three million Karma Points plus two pieces of Heroic Legendary equipment."

Three million causal points, two legendary items of heroic spirits!
Chu Xiu could only say, "The boss is so generous! I made the right choice in following him!"
So what needs to be done next is...
"add a bit!"
