Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

In the face of this desperate disparity in combat power, any slight loss could trigger a chain reaction, at which point those heroic demigods who have obtained insider information might just flee en masse.

Without these High Tier combat forces, the remaining people would naturally become lambs to the slaughter.

Even though Ella was a member of the Alliance and had no excess sympathy, the thought of that hellish scene made her shake her head and sigh.

Chen Yuan’s expression was also gloomy.

However, what surprised the two of them was that Chu Xiu said, "Things might not be as bad as you think. Huaxia and your Alliance Council are not quite the same."

Ella glanced at Chu Xiu, making no comment.

Next, the three of them stopped talking and each found an empty space to start recovering and using Cause and Effect Points to enhance their power before the Horned Demons attacked.

Chu Xiu pushed forward with both hands, and the Thousand Souls Banner and Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch appeared before him.

As he focused his mind, two plumes of ghostly flame ignited from these two Secret Treasures, and immediately the wailing of ghosts resonated between them.

Under Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense, he could clearly see Divine Souls being refined and transformed into nourishment for the Ghostly Legion, causing it to rapidly grow, while those High Tier souls with potential were singled out and transformed into powerful ghosts!

Inside the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, incredible changes were also taking place, with large amounts of flesh and blood transforming into the purest Life Energy under the effect of Perfect Refining, continuously nourishing the corpses of the Garuda and the Demigod Horned Demon!

With Chu Xiu’s current power, simultaneously conducting two refinements with Perfect Refining was an effortless task.

He even had the leisure to split off a trace of Divine Thought to manipulate two Artifact Refining Treasures to repair the damage the Heavy Sword Chiwen had sustained in the battle with a demigod.

Even though he was multitasking, the progress of all three activities did not slow down much! Whether it was the ghostly refinement or the heavy sword, both were taking shape at an astonishing speed!

In just one hour, a full ten Ghost Generals were created! Hundreds of Fierce Ghosts!

Another hour passed, and the Garuda was fully refined!

A majestic golden bird appeared before Chu Xiu, imposing like a king.

The fully formed Garuda, as he expected, surpassed the speed of ordinary Heroic Spirits! Even faster than the Garuda’s Wings driven by Divine-Demonic Power!

A thought prompted the Garuda to fly into the distance, joining with the Blood Demon Incarnation and its parents.

Another hour passed, and the Heavy Sword Chiwen was repaired!

After that, Chu Xiu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the refinement of ghosts and corpses.

Another two hours went by, making it a full five hours since the Horned Demons started gathering.

During these five hours, of course, the other side wasn’t idle; almost every few minutes, a gigantic pale hand would stretch out from the Abyssal Rift, grabbing onto the edge of the rift!

These hands resembled smaller versions of the Outer Realm Demon’s palms, but calling them smaller is relative; each was over a hundred meters long!

After five hours, there were already over a hundred pale hands gripping the edges of the Abyssal Rift, making it look from a distance as if countless vengeful spirits were desperately trying to escape!

Under the influence of these hundreds of pale hands, the length of the Abyssal Rift hadn’t changed, but its width had abruptly expanded by more than double!

Suddenly, a large number of thick tentacles surged out from the rift at great speed!

The tentacles resembled giant water pipes, attaching to the top of an Extraterrestrial Battleship. In the next moment, those pipes began to pulsate continuously, as if injecting something into the battleship!

Chu Xiu was startled, quickly interrupted his refining process, and looked up. Under his Divine Sense scan, he could see the energy intensity of that giant ship rapidly increasing!

In less than a minute, its energy intensity had already risen to more than three times its previous level and continued to grow!

Suddenly, as if reaching a critical point, the giant ship emitted a massive amount of toxic gas, then opened its underbelly, revealing densely packed rail cannons aimed downward!

In the next instant, a deafening roar echoed across the sky as tens of thousands of rail cannons thundered in unison, a deluge of projectiles raining down upon Peng City!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A succession of explosions erupted in everyone’s ears! Chu Xiu looked up with a grave expression to see layers of Shield rising from skyscrapers, with the massive explosions cracking the shields as if they were about to shatter at any moment!

And the areas without Shield protection were instantly engulfed in waves of fire; each rail cannon projectile packed the Power of a thousand-pound bomb, and they fired at an extremely rapid rate, launching one every few seconds!

In a flash, it was as if thousands of bombers were dropping bombs simultaneously, shaking the entire city with explosions, the surroundings filled with blinding flames and billowing smoke!

In just a matter of seconds, the whole of Peng City had turned into a Purgatory City wailing in flames!

This scene made Ella anxious, and she secretly used Sound Transmission to ask Chu Xiu, "What should we do? If the defensive line collapses without the Horned Demons attacking, our chances of escaping will be greatly reduced!"

Chen Yuan also looked full of concern.

Only Chu Xiu remained calmly standing in place.

First shell with long-range bombardment and then attack on the ground; this old tactic had been played out for many years, and he was sure the government had long prepared a plan to respond.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long after Chu Xiu had this thought that gigantic cannon barrels began to rise from within the skyscrapers protected by Shield Generators. In the next moment, beams of high-energy laser cannon, charged to their fullest, shot into the sky!

These laser cannons, powered by the energy of entire skyscrapers as their core, packed a punch not far off from the Celestial Punishment Divine Light created by Aurora and Chu Xiu combined! Each beam pierced the bottom of the Extraterrestrial Battleship, burning through into large holes, and continued melting its interior!

Meanwhile, in numerous unassuming buildings around Peng City, the ground suddenly cracked open to reveal hidden missile silos beneath. With the explosive roar of burning fuel, thousands of missiles launched from different areas of Peng City, roaring towards the battleship above like undaunted cavalry!

Not only that, the government had long positioned anti-aircraft missile launchers in skyscrapers, streets, and parks, all of which now roared in unison, the sky filled with crisscrossing projectiles!

"Boom!!!"

Even though the gigantic battleship’s defense facilities were promptly activated, under the all-out counterattack of the city’s firepower, many missiles and rockets still hit the ship, with high-explosive charges blasting big holes and heavily compressed metal jets further striking into the interior!

Just one round of bombardment left the gigantic ship shaking as if it were a massive disk spewing smoke from its base!

In truth, the Extraterrestrial Battleship’s Technology was ahead of Blue Star in many aspects.

However, its real battlefield was supposed to be in space orbit! Its array of weapons was also designed for that environment.

Forcibly wedged into the Black Death Prison at an altitude of less than five thousand meters above ground, much of its advanced Technology was rendered meaningless, and it lost the natural protection afforded by long-range distance.

Now, never mind missiles or rockets, even enhanced sniper rifles could hit it!

This meant that even with its defense system, the gigantic ship couldn’t withstand the overwhelming firepower assault from the entire Peng City!

As the first round of mutual bombardment ended, the colossal behemoth spewing smoke from all over began climbing steadily upward, and eventually, under continual bombardment, beat a hasty retreat back into the Abyssal Rift.

This allowed everyone present to breathe a sigh of relief, and the soldiers erupted in loud cheers.

Ella’s eyes were filled with astonishment; she hadn’t anticipated Huaxia’s infrastructure would be so formidable, with nearly every skyscraper equipped with potent anti-aircraft firepower, and the missile launch sites in the suburbs densely packed to an alarming degree.

This amused Chu Xiu a little; firepower insufficiency phobia was certainly a hallmark of Huaxia.

Yet, his face did not reveal much joy.

Even though they had repelled the enemy battleship, the high-intensity bombardment was no joke. Combined with the acid rain from days before, Peng City’s defense Shields were nearly destroyed, and many heavy weapons originally meant for dealing with the Horned Demons were severely damaged in the barrage, with countless casualties.

Just then, a thrilling and mighty horn sounded in everyone’s ears.

In the distance, squads of Horned Demons began advancing toward the city.
