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

Given the vastness of the Divine Continent, even with the speed of a cat and a person, it took nearly ten days to approach their destination.

The journey was not just a monotonous flight.

In today's world teeming with demons, the law of the jungle is all too common.

Chu Xiu deliberately instructed the black cat not to conceal its aura in order to attract demons of a higher rank or even more.

With such bait, Chu Xiu is spared the trouble of searching for targets that can drop purple pills of the grade he needs.

Under the deliberate enticement of the Black Demon, demons whose true cultivation level was around the Great Perfection of the Samsara Mirror realm from tens of thousands of miles around came one after another.

The demons are diverse and numerous, including many extraordinary beasts that would rank among the top in the Heavenly Continent Demon Realm.

However, no matter what kind of demon it was, they could not escape the fate of becoming the dead under Chu Xiu's sword.

It seems that due to the strange demonic aura and the unstable spiritual realm of the demons here, their cultivation levels are not as high as Chu Xiu had imagined.

They don't even use any so-called sorcery; instead, they mindlessly launch close-quarters attacks using their powerful physical bodies.

It was as if they were just a group of wild beasts who had accidentally gained power and still retained their wild and crazy nature.

They did not encounter any spirits or creatures with high spirituality like the black cat.

"Immortal Master...haven't you killed enough?"

The black cat spoke, trembling.

Along the way, this ruthless demon-slaying fellow had used him as bait, killing hundreds of demons he wouldn't normally dare to even glance at.

Although his body was not harmed in the slightest

But my fragile heart is on the verge of collapse.

Chu Xiu smiled slightly, and just as he was about to respond, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look to the side.

The black cat beside him bristled, quickly shrinking to the size of a normal cat. It darted behind Chu Xiu, arched its back, and hissed, "We're doomed! We've attracted a big one!"

At the same time, in the direction the cat and the person were looking, a golden roc thousands of feet tall was screeching as it sped toward their location.

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed. "This aura... strength, mid-stage Qiankun Realm!"

This was the strongest demon he had encountered in the past month!

"You should go and hide in my storage space first."

Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed the black cat by the scruff of its neck, then tossed it into his storage space.

Then, he grabbed at the boundless mountains and rivers beneath his feet with both hands, and a strange, vast power erupted from beneath the earth, flowing into his body.

In an instant, Chu Xiu's aura, which was at the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm, suddenly surged, breaking through the shackles of the realm and stepping into the early stage of the Qiankun Realm.

This move is called Dragon Vein Soul Infusion!

These are methods for short-term strength enhancement recorded in several demonic scrolls that Chu Xiu obtained from the remnant soul of Yinglong.

Over the past month, while reviewing the other major and minor demonic arts and spells, Chu Xiu also studied the so-called Soul Possession Technique.

The principle behind it is to use the power of the mountains, rivers, and dragon veins of the world in which the spellcaster resides to amplify their own cultivation.

Some ancient powerful beings in the demon realm are even able to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to amplify themselves!

However, such techniques require extremely high levels of power from the original bloodline of the demon race, and even among the Yinglong clan, few strong individuals are capable of using them.

For Chu Xiu, who possesses an even more primal bloodline than the original demon god—the bloodline of the ancient god—this limitation does not apply.

But the attackers now are at the mid-stage of the Qiankun Realm.

Even with the Dragon Vein Soul Attachment Technique, Chu Xiu could only temporarily raise his cultivation level to the early stage of the Qiankun Realm.

The difference in strength between each level in the Qiankun Realm is enormous. To ensure a stable victory, it's best to avoid fighting opponents of a higher level.

Chu Xiu took a deep breath and shouted coldly, "Star Soul!"

At his command, the dark clouds that had been covering Chu Xiu's head suddenly dissipated, revealing a dazzling starry sky visible to the naked eye.

The natal star chart appeared, and the natal star beast Jingmu Han pounced out from it, merging with Chu Xiu's body.

In an instant, Chu Xiu's cultivation level surged dramatically, and his aura remained steadily stationary.

Mid-stage of the Qiankun Realm.

"Now, that's enough to kill you!"

Facing the roc that was rapidly approaching, yet still maintaining its flight speed, instead folding its wings and attempting to use its sharp beak to pierce its flesh,

Chu Xiu smiled coldly, and with a flick of his right hand, a seven-foot-long sword made of imperial aura materialized. He then swung the sword horizontally towards the head of the roc.

Wow!

A flash of sword light streaked across the roc's body and disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly, the boundless clouds behind him were cleaved in two by a single sword strike, clearly separating the upper and lower halves.

The roc's body remained intact. Chu Xiu slightly shifted his body, and the roc swept past him, its body splitting in two and falling from the sky, already dead beyond any doubt.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow upon seeing this: "Even with the strength of the mid-stage Qiankun Realm, one only possesses the offensive capabilities corresponding to their cultivation level, but lacks the corresponding defensive capabilities..."

If it were an ordinary mid-stage Qiankun Realm cultivator, they would never have been defeated so quickly by Chu Xiu's sword.

The demons of this world are ultimately too unintelligent.

However... perhaps it is precisely because of this that they do not hesitate and, with their enormous numbers and fearless attacks, have become the masters of the world.

Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed a round purple pill, which flew out of his palm from the roc's continuously falling corpse.

Without hesitation, Chu Xiu opened his mouth and swallowed the purple pill.

The purple pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a stream of pure demonic energy that flowed into the lower dantian. It was immediately enveloped and absorbed by the imperial energy within the middle dantian, undergoing further purification.

Finally, it was transformed into energy without any side effects and absorbed by Chu Xiu's golden core, turning into a pool of rich spiritual essence.

This purple pill, at the mid-stage of the Qiankun Realm, could grant Chu Xiu an increase in cultivation and magical power equivalent to 60 years of secluded cultivation.

Chu Xiu referred to it as a cycle of sixty years.

The magical power accumulated over these sixty years is not limited by the constraints of the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm, and can further amplify Chu Xiu's strength.

In the past month, Chu Xiu's magical power has increased by nearly 10 Jiazi (a unit of time), and even without using amplification spells, he is already far superior to ordinary Great Perfection Realm experts.

It has the power to fight even against ordinary early-stage Qiankun Realm cultivators.

This is the benefit brought by these purple pills.

Chu Xiu's purpose in going to Flower Fruit Mountain was to take advantage of the great battle between different demon forces to kill more demons of similar strength and obtain the Purple Pill.

Therefore, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to claim himself as the number one person under the Heavenly Continent after he leaves this world!

When they enter the Qiankun Realm, they will certainly not be weaker than the old monsters who have stayed in this realm for many years. Only then will they have the qualifications to travel safely across the Heavenly Continent.

Chu Xiu waved his hand and released the black cat from the storage space.

Sensing the surge in Chu Xiu's aura, the black cat's eyes widened: "No, Immortal Master, you've gotten stronger again... What exactly is your cultivation level?"

"You even defeated that roc in an instant?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and did not answer. He simply picked up the corpse of the Peng bird, swung his sword and cut it into hundreds of pieces. He threw one piece to the black cat and put the rest into his storage space.

The black cat's eyes lit up instantly, and it quickly grew larger, opening its mouth to swallow the piece of roc's flesh.

"Cool!"

"I never imagined in my life that I would get to eat Roc meat!"

The black cat licked its paws, completely satisfied.

Looking at the black cat's adorable, fluffy appearance, Chu Xiu laughed and said, "Why don't you come with me? I'll provide you with plenty of this kind of food, how about it?"

The black cat's big eyes darted around a few times, as if considering the credibility and feasibility of the matter.

Chu Xiu extended an olive branch again: "We don't need to make any contracts; we can still be friends. How about it?"

The black cat immediately slammed its hand on the table: "Then what am I hesitating for? I'll take you on, big brother!"

Chu Xiu nodded in satisfaction and tossed another piece of meat to the black cat.

"My name is Chu Xiu. If you'd like, you can call me Big Brother."

The black cat nodded: "I have no name or surname. The fur colors of my clan are not all the same. Now I am the only black cat. Hmm... Big brother, you can just call me Little Black."

“Alright.” Chu Xiu nodded with a smile.

Now, he has returned to his life before he transmigrated, living alone with his cat.

"Let's go, brother. We're only about 10,000 li away from the border of Huaguo Mountain."

"go!"
