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

Chu Xiu's face darkened, and he stopped the Dog-Headed Star Beast King from crying out.

"Don't spout nonsense. I am merely someone you have a connection with from your ancestors, not an ancestor of your clan!"

He shook the drop of blood hovering at his fingertip, and the white-haired dog stared intently at his hand, drooling.

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "Want it?"

The Beast King of Dog-Headed Star hurriedly nodded and bowed, looking exactly like a sycophant.

"Leave the Star Palace, acknowledge me as your master, and I will help you enhance your bloodline power and restore the glory of your ancestors. How about it..."

"Master! Woof woof! Master!"

Before Chu Xiu could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by this sycophant.

"..." Chu Xiu sighed helplessly and casually tossed the drop of blood to it.

The Dog-Headed Star Beast King's eyes lit up immediately, and it opened its mouth to swallow the drop of blood, refining it in an instant.

The mere drop of blood was enough to boost its bloodline power, which had remained stagnant for so long. Overjoyed, the Dog-Headed Star Beast King once again pounded its head on the ground and howled, "I, the Star-Devouring Dog King, am willing to offer my entire clan to serve Your Majesty as my master!"

What a joke! If all of its hundreds of kin could obtain a drop of blood imbued with the power of their own bloodline, their strength would surely increase dramatically. At that time, what would they have to fear from that mere lion, and become the lackeys of that Star Palace!

Seeing that the white-haired sycophant was shouting louder and louder, Chu Xiu quickly raised his hand to stop him and asked, "How many combatants does your Star-Devouring Hound clan have?"

"Reporting to my master, besides myself, who is at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm, my clan also has four late-stage Qiankun Realm cultivators and ninety-eight early-stage Qiankun Realm cultivators!" The Star-Devouring Dog King said obsequiously, sticking out his tongue.

Chu Xiu waited for a while, but the Star-Devouring Dog King did not speak again.

That's it?

"It's gone!"

"A hundred of their kind, all with combat strength at the Qiankun Realm?"

Chu Xiu was slightly surprised. It seemed that the Star-Eating Hounds had good aptitude. With such a large number of mid-to-high-end combatants, it was no wonder that they could become lords on this dangerous star island.

"In that case, I will inscribe a divine mark of my own unique consciousness upon your soul. Are you willing?"

"Please, Master!"

The Star-Devouring Dog King lowered its head, and Chu Xiu nodded slightly. In the blink of an eye, he planted a soul mark on the Dog King's soul within its sea of ​​consciousness, placing its life and death in his own hands. With this mark, the Dog King's life and death would henceforth be in his control.

"Shrink to a smaller size, conceal your form, and inform me of the other Star Beast Kings."

Chu Xiu beckoned, and the Star-Devouring Dog King nodded repeatedly, shrinking its size to be side-by-side with Chu Xiu. After circling him twice, it spoke:

"The Star Palace commands a total of ten Star Beast Kings of different races, each of whom is a lord of a Star Island."

"Five of them guard the branch hall, and five guard the star palace. I and the four star beast kings who came to support us are the latter."

"This branch hall is now guarded by five Star Beast Kings at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm: I, the Star Devouring Dog King, the Lion Lion King, the Void Abyss Wolf King, the Mysterious Thunder Leopard King, and the Soul-Seizing Python King."

Chu Xiu asked doubtfully, "Five? Not six?"

The Star-Eating Dog King chuckled: "The original one was killed by the Lion King because he refused to ally with us."

"An alliance? What are you planning to do during the chaos of the branch temple war?" Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow. "Could it be for that Star Gathering Flower?"

"Naturally, it's for that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to follow the Lion King's arrangements and risk becoming an enemy of the Star Palace," said the Star-Eating Dog King.

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know where the Star Gathering Flower is?"

The Star-Eating Dog King chuckled lewdly: "Then you've come to the right person, Master. The Lion King previously ordered me to guard the Star-Gathering Flower to prevent you from luring me away from the mountain. Didn't you come here because you know the whereabouts of the Star-Gathering Flower?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and laughed, "I had no idea I came here for you. I never imagined you had already discovered my whereabouts and came alone to kill me..."

The Star-Eating Hound King shrank its neck: "I thought you were just a human, how could I have known you..."

"Alright, we can deal with the Star Gathering Flower after the battle. As for the other four Star Beast Kings, how strong are they?" Chu Xiu waved his hand and said seriously.

"That Lion King is the strongest among the five of us, only one step away from the Supreme Realm. This alliance to obtain the Star Gathering Flower was orchestrated by it."

“I, the Void Abyss Wolf King, and the Thunder Leopard King are the next strongest. Although the Soul-Seizing Python King is the weakest, it possesses an extremely strange talent skill that can capture people's souls and turn them into its puppets. At the same time, its spiritual cultivation is the highest among the five of us. Unless one's spiritual cultivation is higher than itss, even if one dies, one cannot escape its control!”

The Star-Eating Dog King reminded them, "Apart from the Python King, the other three all have their trump cards up their sleeves."

"That Lion King possesses a great treasure called the Burning Sea Ring, which contains boundless karmic fire power. Even those of the same cultivation level who are tainted by it will be completely burned and their souls scattered within a few breaths."

"The Wolf King of the Void Abyss wields a scythe forged from the remains of a Star Beast King who once had one foot in the Supreme Realm. That Star Beast King died a violent death, and his resentment lingered for ten thousand years. The Wolf King forged it into a handy weapon by combining it with ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice. When wielded, it can freeze everything and its chilling power can corrode bones and steal souls!"

"The Thunder Leopard King once underwent a Heavenly Tribulation, seizing a bolt of Black Nether Lightning from the tribulation and refining it into his bloodline, giving it extremely strong armor-piercing power!"

Chu Xiu pondered upon hearing this. These Star Beast Kings were indeed no ordinary beings, but the treasures they possessed were not without a way to deal with them.

The karmic fire contained in the Burning Sea Ring might be fatal to others, but Chu Xiu, who has never indiscriminately killed innocent people, can still handle it.

As long as the Wolf King of the Abyss's Frost Chain Blade doesn't hurt him, that's enough. As for the Black Nether Lightning, we'll find out which is stronger, the Imperial Lightning within his body or not, when the time comes!

Chu Xiu looked at the Dog King: "And what about you?"

"Me?" The Star-Eating Dog King chuckled, "I'm good at eating!"

"When it comes to the speed of refining the power of stars, on this star island, if I claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!"

Chu Xiu rolled his eyes. "If you can eat that, isn't that pig?"

"No, no, no, Master, you are mistaken." The Star-Devouring Dog King pointed, and a five-meter-sized meteorite appeared in front of the two of them.

Chu Xiu swept his divine sense across the fragment and found it to be nothing more than an ordinary piece of meteorite; he could not sense any trace of stellar power on it.

The Star-Eating Dog King chuckled, expanded its body to swallow the meteorite, and ten breaths later it opened its mouth and spat out a round starstone mixed in with a pile of meteorite fragments, which fell to the ground and shimmered with a dazzling light.

"This is..." Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed the round star stone in his hand. The moment he touched it, he sensed that it contained extremely pure star power. Although it was not large, it was far purer than any other object containing star power that he had seen on this star island.

"This big white dog can actually extract the stellar essence power from meteorites?!"

Ying Wuyou's surprised voice rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"The power of the primordial stars?"

Chu Xiu quickly looked at the Star-Devouring Dog King: "Do you know what this is?"

The Star-Eating Dog King scratched his head: "The origin of stars, these meteorites are the products of broken stars, or even part of stars. Our clan cultivates using the power of this origin."

"This power is different from ordinary stellar power. Without special means, it is difficult to detect its existence, and my innate ability is one of them."

The origin of stars can be regarded as the origin of the power of stars. Any form of star power that exists is just a differentiation and weakening of the power of the origin of stars.

The Star-Eating Hound clan can actually extract the essence of stars directly from the stars themselves and use the power of the essence for cultivation. No wonder the entire clan's cultivation level is not weak!

Chu Xiu pondered carefully. If he could cultivate with a large amount of star origin power, and with the blessing of the Star Gathering Flower, his cultivation in the Ancient God Path would surely far surpass that of the Immortal Path and the Demon Path!
