An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 3 MAX Class, Top-Tier Talent!
Looking at the character panel in front of him, Chu Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

The first few items are easy to understand. The rank is Chu Xiu's current level. The school has taught the first five ranks, which are Mortal, Scholar, Fierce, General, and King. Each rank is further divided into 9 levels.

Physical constitution is a comprehensive rating of attributes such as strength, endurance, and agility; spirit measures the strength of the soul; and the final energy level is the total amount of extraordinary energy used to unleash skills.

The average value for a healthy adult male is 1.0. Chu Xiu's physique and energy level are relatively weak, but his spirit is much stronger than that of an ordinary person, perhaps because of the fusion of his two souls.

However, none of these are the main points. Chu Xiu is well aware of his own physical condition.

What he cares about is talent and career!
Successor of the Demonic Path! Perfectly Forged!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu focused his mind on these two items, and immediately, more detailed data appeared.

[The Successor of the Demonic Path]

[Rank: MAX]

Current Class: Holy Sect Trial Apprentice

[Class Rank Bonus: None]

[Description: You possess a complete magical heritage. As your level increases, you will unlock different supernatural powers, secret techniques, and magical artifacts.]

[Evaluation: When your soul traveled through the chaotic flow of time and space, you unexpectedly obtained the long-lost inheritance of the "Boundless Holy Path Sect".]

Even among the demonic cultivators known for their ruthlessness and depravity, the Boundless Holy Path Sect is the most terrifying.

As a successor of the Holy Sect, you only need to do one thing.
That is to kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill every living thing you see, nourish them with their flesh and blood, and pave your way to the altar with their bones!
[Restore the glory of the Holy Sect, and make all the realms of the Abyss submit at your feet!]

Looking at the words that appeared before him, Chu Xiu was somewhat bewildered.
A profession of MAX rank? This...
The highest rank he had ever heard of before was SSS!
Suppressing his excitement, Chu Xiu hurriedly went to check the abilities granted by his profession.

However, after reading it, he looked disappointed.

Currently, only two inheritances are unlocked.

【The Infinite Cycle of Reincarnation】

[Rank: MAX]

[Description: The core inherited cultivation technique of the Holy Sect. The more sins one commits, the faster one's cultivation speed. However, excessive sins can also cause the practitioner to lose their mind and even incur divine retribution.]

[Evaluation: The foundation of the Boundless Holy Path Sect, a cultivation method that is considered extremely extreme even by demonic cultivators.]

The moment a cultivator kills the first living being, they will be entangled in the karma of killing and uncontrollably slide into the abyss, without exception.

Great power always comes with a corresponding price.

[Data has been digitized; specific cultivation progress will be presented in the form of levels and experience points.]

------

[Bone Forged: Melee Weapon]

Rank: Mortal

[Quality: Fundamentals]

[Description: The flesh, blood, and soul of a corpse are transformed into nourishment to sculpt powerful bone weapons.]

[Evaluation: A second-rate, heretical cultivation method, even despised by menial disciples.]

However, for someone as weak as you, it is perfectly suited as your first step on the path of demonic cultivation.

Come! Cast aside the shackles of worldly morality and manipulate the bodies of the dead to your heart's content!

------

The next inheritance will be unlocked at Mortal Rank 1.

------

After reviewing the two inheritances, Chu Xiu's expression turned grim.

The core cultivation technique actually has such significant side effects!

He didn't want to become a madman who lost his mind and only knew how to kill!

He was also quite resistant to the subsequent secret techniques passed down through generations.

The thought of having to endure the stench while handling rotting corpses made him frown.

However, Chu Xiu was not a pretentious person and quickly accepted reality.

"No matter what, we still have to survive the trial dungeon first."

"No matter how disgusting or difficult the process is, you must persevere!"

"We'll deal with the future later! If the side effects of the Boundless Reincarnation Technique are too great, I'll just stop going into the abyss and live as an ordinary person!"

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu calmed down a little.

"Moreover, there's one talent I haven't looked at yet." Clinging to his last hope, he began to examine his talent.

[Perfectly Forged]

[Grade: SSS]

[Description: With the right materials and blueprints, you can perfectly craft the corresponding equipment.]

[Evaluation: Your talents have changed due to the influence of the "Book of Limitless Power".]

Thanks to the Abyss's power to digitize everything, you no longer need to painstakingly learn crafting knowledge, nor do you need to hone your crafting skills day after day. You don't even need to craft tools; you can perfectly refine materials.

Furthermore, isn't your physical body also a kind of material?

What a powerful and mysterious force! It has already touched upon the realm of rules!
Praise the abyss!

How to perfectly refine materials without any knowledge, skills, or tools?

Upon seeing the detailed description, Chu Xiu's eyes widened slightly.

This talent is a perfect match for his profession as a successor of the demonic path!

He had previously worried whether he, a complete novice who knew nothing about cultivation, could learn the secret techniques of demonic cultivators. But with the talent of [Perfect Refinement], he no longer needed to worry about these things.

"However, both my talent and profession seem to be growth-oriented, and they can't give me much combat power in the early stages."

After careful consideration, Chu Xiu quickly determined his next course of action.

"This trial will still prioritize stability, but that doesn't mean we should cower in fear. Instead, we should seize every opportunity to arm ourselves and enhance our ability to cope with danger."

Once he made up his mind, he quickly began to formulate an action plan.

The primary task is naturally to find usable items, then slowly explore the surrounding environment, search for food and supplies, and choose a suitable place as a base to build a "safe house".

In short, ensuring one's own safety is the top priority.

He checked the gear his parents had bought for him.

[Worn-out cotton-padded clothes]

Rank: Mortal

[Quality: Garbage]

【Attributes: Protection (0.4), Thermal Insulation (1.2), Weight 1.6kg】

[Evaluation: Its protective ability is close to zero, but it can provide some insulation.]

It's terrible equipment, but at least it keeps him from being completely naked.

Then, he crouched down, moved quietly, and tried to explore the room without making a sound.

The bedroom was small, containing only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. Inside were some old children's clothes, long since faded and resembling tattered rags.

The bedroom door was ajar, and Chu Xiu peeked out through the crack, only to find the living room completely empty.

He carefully pushed open the door, the rusty hinges creaking loudly in the quiet environment, making Chu Xiu's heart jump.

Fortunately, he seemed to be the only living thing in the house, and the living room remained quiet, with the commotion from earlier causing no disturbance.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickened his pace of searching.

There wasn't much usable stuff in the living room. The rotten tabletop might serve as a shield, and there were a few knives in the kitchen, but the handles were almost falling off, and the rusty blades made Chu Xiu think they wouldn't even be good for killing chickens.

"The spawn point is pretty average," Chu Xiu frowned slightly.

Now, only one bedroom in the entire house has not yet been searched.

The door had been destroyed, and pieces of wooden planks were scattered all over the floor.

Chu Xiu walked in without much hope, but suddenly his eyes narrowed and he froze in place.

On the large bed in the center of the bedroom, a mummified corpse lay silently. Judging from its size, it was only a seven or eight-year-old child. There was a large hole in its back, as if it had been pierced by a sharp weapon resembling a spear.

In a corner not far from the child, leaning against the wall, was a woman's corpse with a shattered skull and splattered blood on the wall.

A picture involuntarily surfaced in Chu Xiu's mind.

A mother and child desperately hid in their locked bedroom when a mutated creature with superhuman strength broke in. The mother rushed to protect her child but was slapped against the wall and killed instantly. The child also perished.

Chu Xiu sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Please have a safe journey, gentlemen. I apologize for any rudeness you may have shown."

He was not a superstitious person, but he had basic respect for the dead.

After saying this, Chu Xiu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently placed his right hand on the child's body.

[Bone Forging], activate!
