After Jiang Miaoyin destroyed an iron tower, the scarlet glow on the Murder ghost noticeably weakened!

This confirmed Chu Xiu’s suspicion—it was indeed the Prayer Tower!

"To fight against the Master of Civilization, we must weaken the Civilization Domain. Once all these Prayer Towers are destroyed, the Murder ghost will become much easier to deal with."

Evidently, the Murder ghost was acutely aware of this.

He turned his gaze towards Jiang Miaoyin, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"Courting death!"

With a furious intent vibrating through the air, the Murder ghost shook off Chu Xiu and flew swiftly towards Jiang Miaoyin. However, just then, a dark red domain suddenly expanded to envelop him!

Sinful Fire Purgatory!

Chu Xiu previously wasn’t simply taking a beating—he was always looking for an opportunity!

The best way to counter a domain is with another domain!

But if he had unleashed the Purgatory Demon Corpse when the Murder ghost was fiercely attacking, the domain might not have had a chance to open before being shattered by the enemy’s blade!

Chu Xiu originally considered using the Ghostly Legion to forcibly buy time, but now that the Murder ghost had abandoned him, the Sinful Fire Purgatory unfolded at the opportune moment, encasing the Murder ghost!

Yet, at the instant the domain formed, Chu Xiu felt an unprecedented pressure!

The Purgatory Demon Corpse, which could open a three-mile-radius domain even at the depths of the Yin Qi-flooded furnace, now couldn’t even stretch to a hundred meters!

Of course, merely possessing a domain doesn’t negate the advantage of the Master of Civilization; otherwise, the Conquering King wouldn’t go to great lengths to cultivate an army, but would simply unleash a domain to charge in.

The might of the Civilization Domain lies in its ability to harness the power of an entire civilization. Unless it’s a God’s domain, almost no domains can contend with it!

However, the Sinful Fire Purgatory also gave Chu Xiu a small buffer zone. At the moment the domain enveloped him, the Murder ghost’s scarlet light seemed to be slowed, its transmission efficiency weakened, and the surrounding space cracks vibrated violently, as if on the verge of collapse!

The Murder ghost wanted to break out of the domain, but at that moment, Chu Xiu roared wildly, launching his first counterattack! The frenzied Sword Qi made even the Murder ghost cautious, and when he raised his glaive to block the strike, a chain coiled around his left leg.

[Torture Device: Judge’s Curse Chain]!

After the completion of the Purgatory Demon Corpse’s refinement significantly increased, the power of this torture device skyrocketed.

Not only that, it refined other torture devices as well!

From its body, eight Bone Spikes shot out, each engraved with complex runes, connected to form a complete array!

The eight Bone Spikes rapidly flew around the Murder ghost, forming a cube centered on him. The cube’s six sides revealed fiery chains under the array’s activation, completely sealing the Murder ghost. The next moment, blazing sinful fire surged within the entire cube!

[Torture Device: Execution Fire Prison]!

The biggest flaw of the Sinful Fire Purgatory is that it sacrifices the locking effect of a domain to pursue an extreme wide-range attack.

But as a top-tier inheritance of the Demon Sect, it naturally wouldn’t have such a flaw; hence, the birth of the torture device!

[Execution Fire Prison] can form fire chains on six sides to block the enemy within and, while inside the Fire Prison, the intensity of the sinful fire increases severalfold!

The Murder ghost was engulfed in black flames, continually scorching his skin, yet when he roared and slashed open the Fire Prison, he found Chu Xiu, wielding a pitch-black heavy sword, already blocking his path!

The Purgatory Demon Corpse closely followed using the Judge’s Curse Chain, tightly containing the Murder ghost within the hundred-meter domain!

Meanwhile, Jiang Miaoyin was racing towards the second Prayer Tower! The Interrupting Insect Men were no match for her! As long as Chu Xiu held the Murder ghost at bay, destroying all the Prayer Towers was just a matter of time.

Realizing this, Chu Xiu gripped his sword firmly, staring intently at the Murder ghost.

To his surprise, after failing to break free of the Sinful Fire Purgatory, the Murder ghost didn’t continue to break out; instead, he stopped with a calm expression.

"I must admit, being able to open a hundred-meter domain under the civilization’s oppression, you do indeed have the credentials to challenge the Master of Civilization."

"However, do you truly think you can change the course of battle with a King Tier that isn’t even a Heroic Spirit?" the Murder ghost mocked.

As he finished speaking, several Spirit Puppets appeared in the distance, joining the powerful Insect Men to surround and block Jiang Miaoyin.

Simultaneously, a red light shot from the Murder ghost into the ground!

"I have to say, forcing me to reveal my final trump card, you have reason enough to be proud."

"Now, let me show you what a civilization born for war looks like!"

As his words fell, the ground cracked open, volcanoes erupted, and all visible land quaked violently!

Before Chu Xiu’s astonished gaze, an unimaginably colossal giant statue slowly rose from the ground.

Upon seeing the giant statue, Zhao Jie’s expression turned utterly despairing.

"Run quickly! He’s even constructed the Civilization Giant!!!"
