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

"Tsk tsk..."

"General, how long has it been? Have you already forgotten the taste of my fist?"

Chu Xiu's figure slowly appeared in front of Wan Jianhou, mimicking the smug look of the Jackal Dragon Demon General, his eyes revealing a mocking expression.

"Alligator Dragon! It's you again!"

The originally enraged jackal demon general's eyes flashed with fear the moment he saw Chu Xiu's voice and face.

He had already verified that the alligator dragon's strength far surpassed his own, and if he chose to fight against it now, he feared he would die on the spot!

He came here to compete with Pulao for the inheritance. If he dies here, even if he can be resurrected in the sect with the help of secret methods, it will be a loss!

Seeing that the previously enraged jackal dragon had suddenly calmed down, Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

The Jackal Dragon Demon General's face darkened. Ignoring Chu Xiu's insults, he tore open a rift in the void behind him, entered it, and left the place.

Chu Xiu frowned upon seeing this.

Could this jackal dragon possess some kind of secret treasure that allows it to move freely within the Fallen God Palace using void rifts?

He had already tried before, but he was unable to cast spatial spells within the Fallen God Palace no matter what he tried.

It seems that it is not impossible to perform, but only requires special conditions.

"So be it, he's fled. His goal is the inheritance of Pulao, and we'll probably meet again soon..."

Chu Xiu brushed the dust off his clothes and turned to look at Wan Jianhou, who was staring at him with disbelief.

"It's you! Your cultivation level... how is this possible?!"

Wan Jianhou was filled with fear. It had only been a few years since he first met this human youth, and his cultivation had actually risen from the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm to the Qiankun Realm, even surpassing his own!

Even the demon who could have killed him and Bai Yuling with a mere wave of his hand dared not attack this young man and could only flee.

What exactly has this young man experienced in just a few short years?

"Senior Wan Jianhou, it's been a long time..."

Chu Xiu clasped his hands in a fist salute, smiled slightly, and then flashed to Bai Yuling's side, who was lying on the ground. He knelt down and gently helped her up. He took out a purple pill from his spiritual space, crushed it, and transferred the pure demonic power into Bai Yuling's body to help her recover from her injuries.

"It's you... This, how is this possible?"

After feeling the pure demonic power flowing into her body, the heavily injured Bai Yuling looked at Chu Xiu with astonishment.

As a nine-tailed celestial fox, she possessed one of the top bloodlines in the Heavenly Continent Demon Realm. Yet, in front of Chu Xiu, she felt an extremely uncomfortable bloodline suppression force.

She had never felt this kind of suppressive power, not even in front of her own elders!

"How can a human like you possess the overwhelming aura of a supreme expert from my demon race?"

Bai Yuling, who had just recovered from her injuries, hesitated for a long time but couldn't help but ask Chu Xiu a question.

The two were merely strangers who met by chance, so Chu Xiu naturally had no need to explain to him.

He simply took out another purple pill, crushed it, and helped Bai Yuling recover from her injuries more quickly.

The reason he was willing to help was simply because he couldn't stand the actions of the Jackal Dragon Demon General, and he also wanted to find out from the two of them why they were here.

"Madam Bai has no right to interfere in my affairs. On the contrary, I have a question that I need you both to answer..."

"Why are you not in the Sumeru Realm, but instead appearing here?"

"Where are Ye Wujiang and the two Venerable Ones now?"

Chu Xiu stood up, looked down at Wan Jianhou and Bai Yuling who were sitting on the ground meditating, and asked in an unquestionable manner.

Bai Yuling and Wan Jianhou exchanged a glance, knowing full well that the young man before them was far stronger than the two of them, and could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

Marquis Wan Jian said, "The five of us did indeed enter the plane where Mount Sumeru is located, but not long after, we were teleported to this palace by a mysterious and incredibly powerful being..."

"This fox spirit and I have been trapped in this underground palace for several years. Every three days, we have to fight a demonic beast with the strength of the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm. We are still unable to leave!"

"As for the Night Gate Master and the two Venerables..." Wan Jianhou shook his head, "We haven't seen them since we parted ways with them."

Chu Xiu pondered upon hearing this: "The three palaces of Heaven, Earth, and Man in different planes, huh...?"

He turned his head and looked at the corpse of the bull-shaped demon beast that had been killed by Bai Yuling and Wan Jianhou.

Strangely, even now that he's up close, he can't sense any demonic energy emanating from the beast.

"No, this isn't a demonic beast..."

Chu Xiu frowned, flashed to the corpse, and stretched out his hand, revealing his natal star chart.

The moment the natal star chart appeared, the monster's corpse in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light, then shattered into specks of starlight, which were absorbed by the natal star chart.

really!

This is not a demonic beast, but a star beast, a beast manifested by the power of the stars!

Just after Chu Xiu's natal star map devoured the starlight transformed from the corpse of the demon beast, the giant gate at the end of the underground palace passage made a sound, as if the blockade had been lifted.

"Absorbing the starlight manifested after the monster's corpse shattered is actually the way to leave this palace!"

How did you do that?

Wan Jianhou asked in confusion, "The bodies of the demonic beasts that the two of us killed before all shattered on their own seven days after death, turning into starlight that floated in the sky... Could this starlight be some unknown cultivation resource?"

Chu Xiu did not answer, but silently put away his natal star chart and frowned in thought.

Simply absorbing starlight to pass through the Earth Palace—such a trial is far too easy for him.

Could it be that the master of this Fallen God Palace selects people like him who have condensed their natal star chart and studied astrology?

If that's really the case, then the jackal dragon has special means to break through the void and freely traverse this space, so it must also possess some kind of unknown star technique!

Chu Xiu smiled slightly. Now he had a reason to capture and kill the jackal dragon.

According to the rules of the Yuling Sect, killing one's colleagues in the name of seizing treasures is not considered a violation of the sect rules!

However, he still needs to be extremely careful. Jackal Dragon is also one of the chosen ones of this Fallen God Palace, and he might have some special methods to target him!

Chu Xiu looked at Wan Jianhou and Bai Yuling, who were healing their wounds.

The two men's injuries were too severe, and it would take them a year or two to recover, making them a burden to him.

"The two of you will remain in the Earth Palace to heal your wounds. I will go ahead and see if I can find the whereabouts of the other three seniors in the next plane!"

Chu Xiu clasped his hands in greeting.

Wan Jianhou and Bai Yuling exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

It's no wonder Chu Xiu wanted to abandon the two of them and travel alone; they were indeed a burden to the powerful Chu Xiu.

Bai Yuling said softly, "Brother Chu, please make yourself at home. We can go find you after we recover from our injuries."

Chu Xiu nodded, turned around and pushed open the giant door leading to the Heavenly Palace, transforming into a sword light and disappearing inside.

Previously, the Human Palace and the Earth Palace were both sites similar to sacrificial palaces.

This Heavenly Palace, despite its name, is more like a dimensional space with an endless starry sky and a vast sea of ​​stars.

Apart from a few reefs and small islands that offer a temporary respite in the sea, it is difficult to find a place to settle down.

Beneath the sea of ​​stars, countless powerful star beasts lurk. Whenever Chu Xiu's escape light sweeps across the sea, they mindlessly rush out of the water to ambush him.

Even though most of them were killed by the imperial aura surrounding him, countless others still flocked to him.

Chu Xiu didn't care about this. These ordinary star beasts couldn't stop him from escaping. As soon as they got close to him, they were shaken into starlight by the imperial aura around him and absorbed by his natal star map.

In this way, he was able to gather a lot of the power of his natal star, and soon he will be able to light up another natal star!
