Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

In the race against time to refine, moments quickly passed.

Soon, it was time for the mission to begin.

During this period of refinement, the Ghostly Legion grew even stronger, as did the Corpse Refinement.

Moreover, there were still plenty of souls left unused,

Unfortunately, there was no time left for him to refine them slowly.

Chu Xiu leaped out of the building, his speed increasing under the pull of gravity, yet just as he neared the ground, he suddenly slowed down, landing silently and seamlessly.

With the Qi Concealing Technique fully operational, he concealed all his presence, quietly infiltrating near the Black Death Pillar.

Along the way, he saw the military assembling near the Black Death Prison.

Heavy tanks and anti-aircraft rocket vehicles traversed the war-torn streets, Awakened clearing the path on both sides. Though these heavy armaments were mere toys before General Tier beings, they were plentiful and could be used by Ordinary people. Against fixed targets like the Black Death Pillar, they could still serve a role.

Especially long-range rockets with a range exceeding fifty kilometers.

These Equipment were almost useless against Horned Demon attacks due to a lack of flexibility, but they played a major role in providing targeted fire support.

With the army rallying even such weapons, it was evident they were truly prepared for the final battle.

Minutes later, Chu Xiu arrived at a ruin near the southeast direction of the Black Death Pillar.

It was once a fifty-story luxury hotel, now reduced to layers of rebar and concrete piled like mounds of earth.

Chu Xiu ventured into the depths of the ruins, finding a small space barely large enough for a few people, where two others were already present.

Both of them had perfectly concealed their presence, appearing no different from Ordinary people. The one on the left had a square face, a stern middle-aged Daoist, while the one on the right was a young man with sharp features.

They were indeed the Divine Power Daoist and Zhao Fengming, both members of Chu Xiu’s task team for this mission.

Chu Xiu bent down and approached, greeting the two, then asked, "Hasn’t Chen Yuan arrived yet?"

"She was reassigned to another team. She has a close Demigod relation wanting to watch over her personally," Huang Anhua said.

Chu Xiu understood, realizing it was likely that Chen Yuan’s master had intervened.

In fact, Chen Yuan was not originally suitable for their team.

Their team already had enough offensive Power.

As for the Divine Power Daoist, his Thunder Skill was earth-shaking. Though he was defeated by an enemy Demigod a few days back, it was due to being ambushed by a Murder Ghost in poor condition.

After a few days of recovery, he had barely restored his injuries, regaining at least 80% of his peak Power, enough to match most Demigods.

The other member, Zhao Fengming, was equally powerful. Ranked first on the Dragon and Phoenix List, though just a Heroic Spirit, his mighty [Dragon God Possession (SSS)] Talent allowed him to briefly unleash near-Demigod Power.

Not to mention, as a trusted lieutenant of the King of Slaughter, he should have equipment and life-saving cards bestowed by him.

In comparison, Chen Yuan’s sole advantage was her exceptional offensive Ability, which indeed lagged behind their group’s pace.

Understanding this, Chu Xiu sat cross-legged, beginning to meditate and adjust his state to the best before the great battle, as did the other two.

Ten minutes later, the Divine Power Daoist opened his eyes.

He looked at the other two and said, "The action will commence soon, there are three things I need to inform you in advance."

"First, follow my command for all actions, do not act on your own."

"Second, during the action, don’t stray too far from me, or if you encounter an enemy War General, I might not be able to support in time."

"Lastly, if the Outer Realm Demon intervenes during the action, do not entertain any delusions, abandon the mission immediately and retreat at full speed! Before the Outer Realm Demon, you are as fragile as infants."

"Understood?"

Chu Xiu and Zhao Fengming both nodded in acknowledgment.

The Divine Power Daoist said no more and instead extended his Perception Ability, probing outside.

At this moment, nearly all the weapons and Equipment had reached their designated positions.

Suddenly, with the command issued over the radio, all weapons fired without warning!

Amidst the deafening roar, thousands of long-range rockets were launched together, unleashing tens of thousands of rockets in just one volley!

The immense recoil caused the twenty-ton rocket launch vehicles to sway like toys, as the liquid fuel thrusters powered to the maximum, bursting with dazzling firelight in the sky, accelerating the rockets to exceed the speed of sound within a few breaths!

The rockets roared like arrows splitting the sky, raining down in the direction of the Black Death Pillar!

Yet, as they approached the Black Death Pillar, streaks of Spiritual Light shot from the city, Precise intercepting the rockets mid-air, exploding into huge fireballs.

Alas, the rockets’ Speed was still too slow for General Tier beings!

However, this did not mean these modern weapons were entirely useless!

Some rockets with splitting warheads, even when destroyed, scattered into a large "shrapnel rain" with immense explosion speed, these heavy fragments accelerating to over three thousand meters per second under high detonation pressure, pounding the Black Death Pillar like raindrops, producing a tremendous noise!

Although these fragments couldn’t inflict much damage, the trouble was they were nearly impossible to intercept completely.

Meanwhile, the ultra-long range of the rockets allowed them to continuously provide firepower output from safe positions within the city! And the nearby artillery positions also began firing one by one!
