Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu courteously said, "The development of my civilization can’t keep up with the rise in my strength. The Investigation Bureau still values it so highly, I must thank all of you esteemed seniors here."

Vengeance noted the underlying meaning in his words and waved it off, saying, "No need."

"There’s more than one reason why I’ve come in person."

"The threat of the Blood Demon is one aspect. More importantly, we’ve received news that several Outer Realm Demons have also tried to extend their hands here."

"Of course, that’s a matter for our Investigation Bureau. You only need to focus on enhancing your strength now."

Chu Xiu nodded, asking no further questions, and instead turned to Asura, saying, "Is that Molten Blood Demon still around?"

"I knew you came for this," Asura smiled, "It’s moved to a bigger volcano, but it’s still within my tracking range."

"Hmm." Chu Xiu nodded, ready to waste no time and head to the volcano where the Molten Blood Demon resided as soon as possible.

But just then, something seemed to occur to him, so he asked Vengeance, "By the way, senior, have any suspicious individuals infiltrated the civilization recently?"

Upon hearing this, Vengeance was slightly surprised but quickly recovered, smiling, "Yes, the matter of the Outer Realm Demons I mentioned has got you worried. Rest assured, we will investigate this. If there’s any progress, you, as the Master of Civilization, will surely be notified."

"In this place, we also need to borrow your strength."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu asked no further questions and after bidding farewell to Vengeance, followed Asura to the place where the Molten Blood Demon was.

A few minutes later, the two of them arrived near their destination.

Asura said, "Master, it’s the volcano ten kilometers ahead. During this time, the Blood Demon’s strength has increased again, and we are now close to its sensing range. We should suppress our aura."

Trying to put himself in a favorable light, he considered very thoroughly.

But Chu Xiu just shook his head, "No need."

As he spoke, Garuda appeared beneath him, and with the infusion of Divine-Demonic Power, Garuda transformed into a stream of light and vanished instantly from the spot!

A distance of ten kilometers, under Chu Xiu’s full exertion to activate Garuda, was crossed in just a little over a second!

In the next instant, a terrifying wave of energy, like a divine punishment of destruction, descended from the sky!

When Asura arrived, what remained in front of him was merely a half-collapsed volcano, and amidst the rolling lava, the shattered remains of the Blood Demon.

Asura: "..."

He looked at Chu Xiu with eyes as if looking at a monster.

In merely three or four months without meeting, Chu Xiu’s strength had surged again by a level! He considered himself to have worked hard enough in his cultivation during this time, but the progress he made was trivial before Chu Xiu!

Previously, Asura could still spar briefly with Chu Xiu, but now standing before Chu Xiu, he felt like a stray dog by the roadside, one that Chu Xiu could kick to death with ease!

In the face of such an unbelievably rapid upgrade speed, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, completely dispelling any minor thoughts he had.

Chu Xiu wouldn’t care about what Asura thought. With just a mere thought, the Blood Demon Incarnation leapt out from the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch.

In the battle against Murder Ghost, the Blood Demon Incarnation was seriously injured, but let’s not forget, before leaving the Blood Pool, Chu Xiu plucked a substantial amount of wool, the most of which was high-quality blood used to enhance the Blood Demon Incarnation.

After all, as the main god governing the Law of Blood, such items were extremely inexpensive and highly cost-effective.

With the help of these artifacts, the Blood Demon Incarnation had already recovered to its peak state and even slightly beyond.

In fact, with Chu Xiu’s persistent nurturing, the Blood Demon Incarnation’s accumulation was already sufficient. At this point, after recovering the final component, its body became complete and began to evolve!

At the side, Asura showed a look of envy. He knew this was the Blood Demon Incarnation advancing towards a Heroic Spirit.

And under the operation of Rasputin, an upper-level Blood Demon, the fusion process, though dangerous, went without a hitch.

A few minutes later, an extremely powerful aura arose from within the Blood Demon Incarnation!

It was finally achieved.

Chu Xiu also showed a smile.

The Blood Demon Incarnation, as a creature of extremely high grade, with Rasputin’s control, could possess power comparable to a Heroic Spirit even at the King Tier. With this breakthrough, its strength increased severalfold, while still far from a demigod, it was already a competent part of Chu Xiu’s combat power arsenal.

Having achieved the goal of this trip, Chu Xiu prepared to return. He instructed Asura, using his intuition as one of the Eight Divisions, to keep an eye out for suspicious characters in the civilization, then prepared to initiate departure.

But just then, a light laughter suddenly sounded beside his ear:

"You’ve come all this way, why leave so soon?"

Upon hearing the laughter, Chu Xiu’s hairs stood on end instantly!

He had no hesitation, suddenly turning around, Chiwen appeared in his hand, and he swung a blade without reservation!

"Boom!"

The frenzied Sword Qi devoured everything in front of him in an instant, but in the center of the Sword Qi, there seemed to be a cone-like barrier, splitting the Sword Qi to the sides.

In Chu Xiu’s heavy gaze, Ashtar leisurely stepped out from the space rift.
