The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The Blood Demon Emperor never expected that after the human and the demon returned, they would have a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm by their side.

And this powerful figure was none other than the Blood Demon Queen who created him!

The moment the Blood Demon Queen appeared, the Blood Demon Emperor had already decided he did not want to be her enemy.

Although it has now devoured an entire drop of Blood Demon Source, gaining cultivation that should not have belonged to it, and successfully stepped into the Qiankun Realm,

He also seized some imperial energy from the heavenly tribulation, rising to become the emperor of the Blood Demon race, thus escaping the control of the Insect Queen.

However, the Insect Queen is, after all, the ruler of the entire Blood Demon Clan. In front of the Insect Queen, all the advantages that I am proud of will vanish.

The Blood Demon Emperor retreated several hundred meters, slightly lowering its ferocious, enormous head towards the Insect Queen:

"My lord...why are you here?"

The Blood Demon Queen sneered, "If I hadn't shown up, you really would have become the ruler of this group!"

The insect queen, now in the form of a noblewoman, reached out and grasped at the Blood Demon Emperor's head, but nothing happened.

The Insect Queen frowned. "As expected... you've escaped my control!"

The Blood Demon Emperor let out a low growl, seemingly tinged with suppressed laughter: "Hehehe... If we hadn't personally refined the Blood Demon Source, we probably would never have known how delicious... and wondrous it was!"

"I am no longer the blood demon's minions you can summon at will!"

"I shall be the Blood Demon Emperor!"

Before the Blood Demon Emperor could finish speaking, he suddenly sprang up and lunged at the Insect Queen and the Butterfly Queen with his blood-red maw wide open.

The insect queen and butterfly queen dodged its sneak attack with a swift movement.

The insect queen sent a telepathic message to the butterfly queen: "You're fast; hold it off for me for a while."

"I will go and reclaim control of the Blood Demon race here, and cut off its ability to regenerate!"

"it is good!"

The Butterfly Queen immediately nodded, waved her hands to her sides, and two long swords appeared in her hands. She stomped her foot and unleashed the aura of the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm, attacking the Blood Demon Emperor's massive body.

The Blood Demon Queen turned her head and glanced at the Blood Demon Nest not far away before shooting into the nest.

Chu Xiu, who was several miles away from the battlefield, saw the two women acting separately and knew that they already had a way to defeat the enemy.

He only needed to wait for the right opportunity to activate the Star Control Technique and merge with the Star Beast Jingmu Han, using the Star Fusion Technique to forcibly enhance his Qiankun Realm power and join forces with the Primordial Soul Weapon Qingyan Cone.

He unleashed his strongest attack to date against the Blood Demon Emperor, shattering the tortoise shell that even two Great Perfection Qiankun Realm experts who were not good at brute force could not overcome. Finally, the Insect Queen finished him off.

If it proceeds as planned, this action will naturally go smoothly.

Chu Xiu still felt a little uneasy. He closed his eyes and released his late-stage Reincarnation Realm divine sense, but he did not detect anything unusual within a radius of dozens of miles.

Chu Xiu took a deep breath and placed his hand on his chest. The uncontrollable, violent beating of his heart was a sign of his inexplicable unease.

With a thought, he unleashed the Azure Flame Cone's Emperor Domain, enveloping Chu Xiu's figure within it.

Now, his Emperor's Domain can block any attack from the late Reincarnation Realm or below within a 360-degree radius without any blind spots.

Only when he was within the domain could Chu Xiu's mind relax a little.

But at that moment, an unparalleled sword intent descended from the sky, pressing down on Chu Xiu's head and forcefully pulling him from the mountaintop, through the entire mountain, and down to the bottom.

Chu Xiu lay on the pile of rubble at the foot of the mountain, unable to move due to the sudden attack of sword intent.

Once the dust and mist above his head had dissipated slightly, Chu Xiu was able to see clearly who had attacked him.

High in the sky, a tall and slender figure stood in mid-air, with thousands of sword lights flashing behind her. Each sword light was enough to kill Chu Xiu in his current state!

Chu Xiu's eyes sharpened: "Ling Guang..."

This was the strongest person Chu Xiu had ever met so far, staring at him with fiery anger in his eyes, making Chu Xiu feel a little guilty.

Could it be that she discovered the soul imprint I secretly injected into her when she merged with the sword body in order to ensure my safety?

This soul imprint has only one function: when Ling Guang harbors ill intentions towards Chu Xiu, it can slightly influence her judgment of Chu Xiu, so that Chu Xiu will not fall into Ling Guang's scheme without exception.

But now it seems that Chu Xiu's deliberate scheming against her has been discovered by the person involved.

Ling Guang's cultivation level is above the Qiankun Realm. Even if the Butterfly Queen and the Insect Queen joined forces, they would not be able to survive under her.

Suppressed by Ling Guang's sword intent, Chu Xiu had no choice but to use the Fusion Star Technique to forcibly raise his cultivation to the early stage of the Qiankun Realm before he could barely speak under the suppression of Ling Guang's sword intent:

"Senior... what... does this mean?"

Ling Guang frowned, flicked his sword finger, and ten thousand sword lights scattered out from behind him, sealing off the space within a radius of several miles. Even the Butterfly Queen, the Insect Queen, and the Blood Demon King, who were only a few miles away, could not detect the anomaly here.

Then, she pointed at Chu Xiu and asked in a cold voice:

"Star-controlling technique? You do indeed possess the aura of an ancient god!"

"Are you a descendant of the ancient gods?"

Ancient God?

Chu Xiu was taken aback.

Could it be that Ling Guang's targeting of him wasn't because of that divine soul imprint, but rather because of the ancient god's inheritance he had received?

Chu Xiu did not choose to hide it from her. Judging from the situation, if he did not give her a satisfactory answer, she would kill him directly.

"I am not a descendant of an ancient god. I merely obtained an ancient god's relic by chance and accidentally activated the legacy left within it by its owner..."

"And then, you received the legacy of the ancient gods?"

After hearing Chu Xiu's explanation, Ling Guang's sword intent did not diminish; on the contrary, it intensified.

Chu Xiu stammered as he answered, "I... I had no choice. At that time... I had no choice but to accept it, otherwise... I would die..."

Ling Guang frowned and stared at Chu Xiu for a full half-incense stick's time before he finally suppressed the sword intent on Chu Xiu.

The pressure on Chu Xiu suddenly eased, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He flashed to Ling Guang's side.

Ling Guang asked in confusion:

"I found no remnants of the ancient gods' consciousness within you..."

"Could it be that you only received His secret technique inheritance, but did not communicate with His remaining consciousness?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "No, when I received the inheritance of the ancient god, I only saw a sky full of stars, but I did not see the ancient god himself."

Upon hearing this, Ling Guang sighed and said, "Consider yourself lucky, kid."

"Back then, the Demon God Emperor also accidentally obtained the inheritance of an ancient god, but he was almost possessed by the remnant soul of that ancient god. In the end, he spent a great deal of effort to defeat that remnant soul of the ancient god, but he was left with a lifelong disability in his soul."

"Holy crap... even the Demon Emperor almost suffered a fatal blow..."

Chu Xiu was taken aback.

"So that's why you attacked me without saying a word, just because you were afraid that the ancient god would leave a remnant of his consciousness in me and replace me?"

Ling Guang glanced at him and said, "I don't care whether you live or die."

"But the era of the ancient gods has passed, and no powerful being above the Qiankun Realm can allow the birth of a new ancient god."

She gave Chu Xiu a meaningful look: "If you also receive His bloodline inheritance in the inheritance of the ancient god, I advise you to give it up on your own."

"The power of the ancient gods may be great, but one must be alive to enjoy it."

"Once the new ancient god bloodline becomes known to any expert above the Qiankun Realm, he will be wanted by all experts above the Qiankun Realm in the Heavenly Continent..."

"If you encounter them, kill them without mercy!"

Chu Xiu frowned and remained silent.

His body absorbed all the Blood Demon Source, which was the essence of the ancient god and had long been integrated into his blood.

Even he himself didn't know whether he possessed the bloodline of an ancient god...

But Ling Guang had examined his own body for so long before and hadn't questioned his physical form, so it should be fine... right...?

Ling Guang glanced at Chu Xiu and comforted him, "The art of controlling stars is not unique to ancient gods. Some powerful beings in the ancient era also comprehended it after observing celestial phenomena."

"If it is just using the Star Control Technique and its origin—the Natal Star Chart, there is no need to worry about being targeted by experts above the Qiankun Realm."

"After all, most of the experts above the Qiankun Realm, including myself, also know one or two star techniques."

Suddenly, Chu Xiu thought of something, stretched out his hand, and a black star shimmering with black light appeared in his palm.

"What if it's this..."

Ling Guang's eyes suddenly sharpened: "The Reverse Star Technique?!"

"This technique must never be used in front of others, no matter what!"

"Otherwise, no one can save you!"
