However, ever since the Great Thousand Palace established its headquarters here, it has become increasingly difficult to spot any extraterrestrial evil races on the Demon Suppression Continent, making this place a "transfer station" instead.
For the powerful beings of the Great Thousand Worlds, the outer realms are undoubtedly forbidden zones for life. Even if a Heavenly Sovereign enters them, it is difficult for him to escape unscathed.
Similarly, the Great Thousand Worlds is also full of dangers for the extraterrestrial evil races, so neither side's powerful figures will easily enter the enemy's territory.
As a result, some areas inevitably became battlefields where the two sides' strongest forces clashed.
Since the Heavenly Evil God failed to break the seal and the Great Thousand Realms did not want to create panic, both sides tacitly chose to hold the battle in some lower planes or small worlds.
The Demon Suppression Continent is connected to a small world called the Senluo Realm.
Once the extraterrestrial evil race breaks out of the Senluo Realm and launches a large-scale invasion of the Great Thousand World from the western border, the Demon Suppression Continent and the Demon-Slaying Fortress will become the first line of defense for the Great Thousand World.
Chu Yang did not encounter any obstacles during his entry into the Demon-Slaying Fortress. After all, those who could come here either had a blood feud with the extraterrestrial evil race or had absolute confidence in their own strength.
However, the Great Thousand Palace will screen those who want to enter the Senluo Realm to prevent some weak individuals from being blinded by hatred and dying needlessly.
This also prevents those who collude with evil races from outside the region from taking this opportunity to "smuggle" themselves out and transmit intelligence.
In this vast world, there are always some who want to profit from war, engaging in trade of treasures or intelligence with the evil races from beyond the realm.
Arriving at the city center, Chu Yang headed straight for a black pavilion.
The buildings in the Demon-Slaying Fortress are generally low, but this black pavilion stands out from the crowd, exuding a sense of oppression.
Chu Yang could sense a powerful aura emanating from within the black pavilion.
Heaven is supreme!
The presence of a supreme being here at all times demonstrates the importance that the Great Thousand Palace attaches to the western border.
Chu Yang didn't care, nor did he deliberately conceal his aura. His peak Ninth Grade Supreme realm was nothing special in the Demon-Slaying Fortress, where powerful figures were everywhere.
Rather than being secretive and arousing suspicion, it's better to be open and honest to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As soon as Chu Yang stepped into the pavilion, he was met with scrutinizing gazes. He glanced to the side and saw a large group of people gathered in a corner of the pavilion.
These people sat together in twos and threes, talking to each other, and would scrutinize anyone who entered the attic.
Chu Yang guessed that these people were probably preparing to enter the Senluo Realm and wanted to recruit some powerful individuals to join their team.
He ignored these people and went straight to the most conspicuous counter on the first floor of the attic. He smiled at a beautiful young woman behind the counter and said, "Hello, I want to apply for a Demon Extermination Order."
A hint of surprise flashed in the young woman's eyes. She looked Chu Yang up and down and asked with a smile, "This young man looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting the Demon Suppression Continent?"
Chu Yang nodded, and the young woman handed him a form, then said, "To process the Demon Extermination Order, you only need to provide a drop of essence blood."
"But if you want to enter the Senluo Realm, you need to fill out this form truthfully."
"This is the rule of the Great Thousand Palace."
Chu Yang took the form and then used his source energy as a pen, writing with flowing, powerful strokes.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he disguised his source energy as being exactly the same as spiritual power.
After all, the source energy already contains spiritual energy, so this was not a difficult task for him.
After filling out the form, Chu Yang flicked out a drop of blood essence with his finger and then waited quietly.
With a gentle wave of her delicate hand, a ray of spiritual light shot out, enveloping the essence blood, and then transformed into a black token. On the front of the black token were the two blood-red characters "Slay the Demon".
At the very bottom of the token, there is a line of small characters engraved on it: "Low-level Demon Slayer".
The demon slayers of the Great Thousand Palace are divided into four levels from low to high: low-level demon slayer, intermediate-level demon slayer, advanced-level demon slayer, and demon king.
After obtaining the Demon Extermination Order, you will automatically become a low-level Demon Extermination Master. To advance to the intermediate level, you need to acquire 1,000 Demon Extermination Points.
To advance to the rank of Advanced Demon Slayer, one needs 3,000 Demon Slayer Points, or to kill one Netherworld Demon Emperor.
A Netherworld-level Demon Emperor is equivalent to a Spirit-grade Heavenly Supreme among humans!
To become the Demon Slayer King, one needs a full 10,000 Demon Slayer Points, or to kill a Heavenly Demon Emperor.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor is equivalent to a human being of the Saintly Rank Heavenly Supreme!
Since ancient times, no Demon King has ever appeared in the Great Qing Palace. Chu Yang does know of one, but at this point in time, he is probably still fighting against the evil race from beyond the realm.
At the same time, the level of a Demon Slayer also represents their status in the Great Thousand Palace.
Although one would receive an invitation from the Great Thousand Palace once they broke through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, after joining the Great Thousand Palace, they would only be ordinary guest elders.
Even if one's strength does not reach the level of Heavenly Sovereign, as long as one is promoted to Advanced Demon Slayer, one will automatically become a guest elder of the Great Thousand Palace.
In the Great Thousand Realms, the status of the guest elders of the Great Thousand Palace is in no way inferior to that of the elders of the five ancient clans.
As for the Demon King, he is on par with the patriarchs or elders of the five ancient clans, or even the overlords of various super powers.
Within the Daqian Palace, they wield immense influence.
Demon-Slaying Points, as the name suggests, are obtained by killing extraterrestrial evil beings. They can not only increase the level of a Demon Slayer, but also be exchanged for various treasures in the Great Thousand Palace's treasury.
Chu Yang's main purpose for this trip was to become the first Demon Slayer since the ancient times and to obtain enough treasures to enable the Four Sacred Spirits to complete the second stage of evolution!
However, obtaining Demon Extermination Points is not easy; at least, one needs to kill extraterrestrial evil beings at the Earthly Sovereign Realm to have them recorded.
Lower Earthly Sovereign: 50 points; Upper Earthly Sovereign: 100 points; Earthly Sovereign at Great Perfection: 200 points; Netherworld Demon Emperor: 3,000 points; Profound Demon Emperor: 5,000 points; Heavenly Demon Emperor: 10,000 points.
That's why the beautiful young woman looked at Chu Yang with a hint of surprise.
Human powerhouses who come here and want to enter the Senluo Realm have only two purposes.
They either have a deep-seated blood feud and simply want to hunt down the evil race from beyond the realm.
Or they want to earn Demon-Slaying Points to exchange for treasures.
But regardless of the type, it's rare for someone at the Supreme Realm to act alone, especially someone as young as Chu Yang.
"Chu Yang, a ninth-rank Supreme, has no power?"
The young woman paused, then looked at Chu Yang with some hesitation and asked, "Which continent are you from?"
Given Chu Yang's age, it's impossible for him to have reached the Ninth Grade Supreme realm without being famous. The Great Thousand Palace's intelligence network covers the entire Great Thousand Realms, so as long as she finds out Chu Yang's background, she can conduct a brief investigation.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I come from a lower plane."
The young woman was startled again, stared at Chu Yang for a long time, and suddenly waved in a certain direction.
Then a burly man walked over, looking meek and respectful, and said, "Miss Cheng, what are your orders?"
The young woman surnamed Cheng ignored him and looked at Chu Yang, saying, "I can approve your application, but if you want to enter the Senluo Realm, you must join his team."
"On the one hand, it's for your safety; on the other hand, it's because we can't yet verify your origins. I hope you can understand."
Chu Yang had anticipated this, since there were doubts about his background, and the Great Thousand Palace naturally had to take precautions. He immediately nodded and said, "No problem!"
"Thank you for your cooperation." The young woman channeled another ray of spiritual light into the Demon-Slaying Token, then handed the token to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang took the token and followed the burly man to the side.
The burly man looked him up and down, then patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "You've reached the Ninth Grade Supreme realm at such a young age, and you even dare to enter the Senluo Realm alone. You must be an extraordinary person, young brother."
“My name is Murray, but everyone calls me Old Murray. Miss Cheng always handles things strictly by the book, so please don’t take it too seriously.”
"But I must make this clear beforehand: once you enter the Senluo Realm, as long as you obey orders, no matter what trouble we encounter, I and everyone in the team will not abandon you!"
"But if you act on your own, don't blame us for being heartless and refusing to help you!"
Chu Yang smiled and nodded. Seeing his cooperation, Murray laughed heartily again, then pulled him to a corner on the first floor and introduced him to several team members.
The next morning, the team left the Demon-Slaying Fortress and headed straight for the entrance to the Senluo Realm.
It is worth mentioning that at the entrance to the Senluo Realm, there is also a Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse stationed there.
The Senluo Realm, though described as a small world, is actually larger than the lower plane where the Dou Qi Continent is located, except that it is filled with bloodthirsty energy and demonic energy.
If an ordinary Supreme Realm expert were to stay here for an extended period, it would likely affect their mental state.
In the team, Chu Yang's cultivation level was not the weakest. There were eight people in the team, and besides him, there were three others at the Supreme Realm.
One of them is a Ninth-Rank Supreme, and the other two are Eighth-Rank Supremes.
Murray is a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, while the other three are low-ranking Earthly Sovereigns.
There is an unwritten rule in the Great Thousand Worlds: Heavenly Sovereigns almost never interfere in power struggles.
After all, at this level, each individual is a core force in the Great Thousand World's defense against external enemies. If someone perishes due to internal strife, it will be a loss for the entire Great Thousand World.
Therefore, Chu Yang's team could practically roam freely in the Great Thousand Worlds, but in this Senluo Realm, they had to tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice.
The trip went smoothly without any unexpected events. The team found some rare and precious materials, which were then distributed according to each member's abilities.
At the same time, they also hunted down some extraterrestrial evil races, but most of them were at the Supreme Realm, with only a few Earth Supremes, who were only lower-level Earth Supremes.
It is worth mentioning that on the way back, the team was ambushed by three high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns. In order to protect themselves, they had no choice but to flee separately.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Chu Yang did not reveal his true strength, but only displayed power comparable to half of a supreme being.
In the end, all was well and the team of eight reunited. The four Emperor-level Supremes, led by Murray, were all seriously injured. Could it be that the three Supreme Realm experts who were with Chu Yang were unharmed?
Upon learning that Chu Yang had protected them throughout their journey, Murray became even more friendly towards Chu Yang, even treating him as a brother who had risked his life for them.
Chu Yang also took out some pills to help the four Earthly Sovereigns recover from their injuries.
Therefore, when they returned to the Demon-Slaying Fortress, Miss Cheng learned about a series of events and completely dispelled her suspicions about Chu Yang.
Having gone through this ordeal, Chu Yang was no longer bound by the Great Thousand Palace and had gained a certain understanding of the Senluo Realm.
And his plan could finally begin to get on track! (End of Chapter)
