Having done this, he rushed towards the King of Corpse Eaters once more without hesitation.
He was curious about the limits of the power of that Stone Bead, wondering if it could resurrect infinitely!
However, this time, the obviously prepared King of Corpse Eaters was much more difficult to kill.
Two new arms suddenly grew from its back, and when they came together, Chu Xiu felt the mutated Death Qi around him biting ferociously at his Demon Energy Barrier, as the original two arms continuously struck in the air. It was unknown which Divine Techniques it was using, but with each strike, a wall of air would form to block Chu Xiu.
"Interesting."
"Unfortunately, you came across me."
With a flick of the wrist, the Heavy Sword Chiwen was already in his hand!
Under the power augmentation of the Star Ring Pulse Fist Armor, this piece of Mythical Equipment couldn’t help but let out an excited howl!
The terrifying energy accumulated within the sword, and even the slightest energy ripple that spilled out made the King of Corpse Eaters feel terror!
In its frightened gaze, Chu Xiu slashed down with the sword!
Instantly, an extreme brightness illuminated the entire hollow, as if everything in heaven and earth vanished, leaving only this dazzling white light—this fierce Sword Qi!
"Boom!!!"
The frenzied energy crashed through everything in its path like tens of thousands of ancient fierce beasts.
When the Sword Qi dissipated, the winding passageway had already disappeared, replaced by a massive cavity that stretched over a thousand meters!
All creatures nearby were pulverized into basic particles, and within the hollow, only a rough Stone Bead floated quietly.
Chu Xiu calmly gazed at the Stone Bead. This time, he wouldn’t just stand and watch; if there were any signs of resurrection from the King of Corpse Eaters, he would strike again without hesitation to annihilate it.
Perhaps the power of Chu Xiu’s sword was too overwhelming, for the Stone Bead showed no sign of activity this time. After a while, a notification sounded in Chu Xiu’s mind.

[Gained Item:...]
Killing the King of Corpse Eaters provided Chu Xiu with a large amount of experience, pushing him to the Tenth Transformation without him even realizing it.
Although he could already achieve the Flawless Golden Core, further transformations seemed unnecessary. However, Chu Xiu could sense that this excess Experience Points provided a "foundation" that could assist him in combating the Abyss to some extent.
As for the Heroic Spirit level boss, its drops were quite valuable, providing him with a piece of King Tier Legend and a piece of Heroic Spirit Perfection.
However, for the current Chu Xiu, these pieces of Equipment were already too many to be of much use.
"The important thing is still..."
Chu Xiu looked at that round bead and, after contemplating for a while, reached out his hand to grab it, holding the Stone Bead.
But for some reason, at this moment, this round bead seemed to have lost all its mystique, with none of the cold and void feeling of the Abyss, instead appearing truly like a small stone.
The most bizarre thing was that when Chu Xiu used the Awakened’s scouting ability to investigate, no Artifact information appeared, as if the object before him didn’t belong to the data-constructed world of the Abyss.
"How strange."
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xiu finally decided to simply go and ask the people at the Celestial Palace.
The opposing party was so concerned about the Carrion Cave for this round bead, surely they would know its origins.
Of course, the opposing party might also hold ill intentions, but Chu Xiu’s strength gave him the confidence to ask directly.
He didn’t have time to muck around here slowly.
With his plan set, Chu Xiu waved his hand, and a large number of ghosts surged out, beginning to sweep through the nearby living scavengers.
He hadn’t forgotten about these resources.
The King of Corpse Eaters’ scream seemed like some sort of summoning order, having already called back all the scavengers from outside.
This made things convenient for Chu Xiu.
An hour later, he had killed nearly two hundred scavengers in one go.
"This way, there will be plenty of resources for refining Artifacts."
"Also gained quite a few Cause and Effect Points."
This exploration directly gained over three hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, which was a considerable gain.
Chu Xiu hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly and left the cave feeling satisfied.
Outside the gate, the General ghost defending the place was a bit surprised to see Chu Xiu return so quickly and asked, "Friend, are you coming out for a temporary break, or is the task already finished?"
"I’m preparing to return to You City," Chu Xiu said.
The ghost laughed and said, "That’s good too, being able to safely exit the cave is the biggest blessing; the amount of loot isn’t what matters."
Apparently, it took Chu Xiu as someone who feared the scavengers and spirits and was ready to give up after only a short exploration.
Chu Xiu had no interest in explaining, he just flicked his wrist, and the Stone Bead appeared in his hand.
"By the way, do you happen to know what this is?"
He intended to directly ask the immortals but it seemed that seeing immortals wasn’t easy. This General ghost wasn’t weak and had defended the cave for a long time, so it might know some secrets.
The ghost paused slightly upon seeing the Stone Bead, then showed a strange expression.
The expression was difficult to describe, almost as if a dramatically expressive artificial intelligence suddenly lost power.
But within a moment, the ghost returned to its senses and shook its head, saying, "I can’t see anything extraordinary about this Stone Bead."
"Really."
Although Chu Xiu felt that the ghost’s expression earlier was a bit off, since the other party was unwilling to say more, he was about to leave, turning around.
However, just as he was about to take a step, suddenly he felt a heavy sensation behind him, as if he had been punched twice, staggering forward!
Chu Xiu quickly turned his head, and a hideous, twisted, malicious face rapidly magnified!
The General ghost lunged at Chu Xiu, with venomous screams from its mouth, "Give me back my thing!"
