This guy is quite ruthless, even wanting to wipe out his opponent completely, but he is only at the early stage of the Immortal Rank after all. After killing three Xuanmo Emperors in succession, he was also at his limit.
In fact, if Chu Yang hadn't come to Qin Tian's rescue, even if Qin Tian had managed to hold on for a while longer, he would have inevitably met his end.
The evil power corrupted his body and internal organs, and it was the evil power of the Xuanmo Emperor. Lin Dong, Han Que, and the others were helpless against it.
Qin Tian, who was already exhausted, was even less able to expel the poison on his own.
Chu Yang was somewhat surprised that Qin Tian, with only the initial stage of the Immortal Realm, was able to kill three mid-stage Xuanmo Emperor level experts in succession.
This strength is truly not to be underestimated. After all, Qin Tian is different from the many trusted confidants he has cultivated. He does not have any heaven-defying techniques or supernatural powers, nor does he have the great fortune that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong possess.
During the narration, when asked about the matter of killing the three Xuanmo Emperors, Qin Tian only vaguely mentioned that he obtained some treasures and life-threatening methods during the great opportunity given to him by Sun Wukong.
Chu Yang knew very well that Qin Tian must have his own trump cards and methods involved, but he didn't delve into it, since everyone has secrets.
Qin Tian's strength is naturally a good thing for him.
"You've actually turned misfortune into blessing. After this incident, you'll probably be close to reaching the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm..."
Chu Yang looked at Qin Tian with a smile, while the latter gave a wry smile and said, "If it weren't for your help, sir, I'm afraid I would have lost my life in the outer realms."
"Then, sir, if you need anything, feel free to take my life!"
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Let's skip the sentimental talk, but I do have something to ask you..."
Qin Tian's spirits lifted, and he awaited the next part.
Chu Yang continued, "Before I entered the outer realms, the Great Thousand Palace intended for me to be the person in charge and to take the lead."
"But I'm used to living a carefree life, so I declined."
"But now... the Great Thousand Palace has a second Demon-Slaying King..."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Tian was taken aback at first, but then he quickly realized what he meant and took out his Demon-Slaying Token.
On the token, the original title "Advanced Demon Slayer" had been changed to the three large characters "Demon Slayer King"!
These past few days, I've been teetering on the edge of life and death. Even after returning to War Demon City, I've been struggling to suppress the evil power within me, and I haven't had a moment to think about the Demon Extermination Points and Demon Extermination Orders.
Now, hearing Chu Yang say this, he suddenly remembered that he had killed three Xuanmo Emperors, which earned him a full 15,000 Demon Extermination Points!
Slay the Demon King!
The thought that he could actually become the Demon Slayer King gave Qin Tian a dreamlike feeling.
Despite the fact that the Great Thousand Palace is filled with powerful figures, and even most of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World can receive invitations from the Great Thousand Palace.
However, among these powerful individuals, very few will become demon slayers.
At the level of Heavenly Sovereign, even in the treasure trove of the Great Thousand Palace, very few rare and precious treasures can tempt them.
Even if we take a step back, those demon slayers at the Heavenly Sovereign level would have little chance of killing a Demon Emperor at the Heavenly Sovereign level.
Both sides had an unspoken understanding that even if the border battles were fierce, they were mostly between experts below the Heavenly Sovereign realm.
Moreover, even for a Heavenly Sovereign realm expert, defeating an enemy is extremely difficult.
If this is the case for spiritual items, how much more so for immortal or saintly items?
Who wouldn't have some means of survival and trump cards if they could cultivate to the Heavenly Supreme Realm?
It is precisely because of this that, during the decades Qin Tian spent in the outer realms, although he defeated and even severely injured many powerful members of the evil race, only two Netherworld Demon Emperors of the evil race died at his hands.
Other demon slayers from the Great Thousand Palaces at most kill some evil races on various battlefields, and have even fewer opportunities to kill demon emperors at the Heavenly Supreme Realm.
After all, Qin Tian entered the outer realm because he was caught in a spatial storm. If it weren't for a fortuitous encounter, he wouldn't have survived until now.
For any powerful human, venturing alone into the outer realms is almost tantamount to going to one's death.
The stronger one is, the bigger the target becomes. Once exposed outside the domain, one will face the pursuit of numerous powerful individuals.
The same applies to the extraterrestrial evil races, which is why they only dare to send some of the lower-level evil races to infiltrate the Great Thousand Worlds and use some minor tricks.
"Sir, even if I could use this opportunity to break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Rank, I would never dare to take that position..."
Qin Tian put away the Demon-Slaying Token and gave a wry smile.
He knew his own limitations very well. Although once he broke through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Rank, when it came to fighting to the death, he would be no weaker than a late-stage Immortal Rank expert.
But the problem is...
There are still sacred items in the Great Thousand Palace!
How could someone as lowly as a mid-stage Immortal Realm expert possibly keep so many powerful figures in check?
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The Great Thousand Palace is different from other forces. Its existence is precisely to deal with the evil races from beyond the realm."
"So even the person in charge is just a figurehead, acting as a bridge between various forces to form a great alliance."
“In this respect, strength is indispensable, but it is not the main factor.”
Chu Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "The longer someone has been famous, the more complicated their personal grudges become in the Great Thousand Worlds, making it difficult for them to maintain good relations with every power."
"In this respect, you undoubtedly have a huge advantage."
To put it bluntly, this position is essentially the spokesperson for the Great Thousand Palace. Although it holds real power, that power can only be used when dealing with the extraterrestrial evil race.
If it were used for private matters or against a certain force, let alone killing the Demon King or his representative, even if a core elder of the Saint-level realm acted in this way, the many powerful figures of the Great Thousand Palace would not give him any face, nor would they obey his orders!
Qin Tian understood his meaning. After a moment of silence, he tentatively asked, "Mr. Chu, do you want... me to be your informant in the Great Thousand Palace?"
Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and said irritably, "I am the Demon Slayer of the Great Qing Palace, why would I need to go through the trouble of planting spies?"
"I saw that the Great Thousand Palace was leaderless, so I wanted to put you in that position."
"In addition, I will establish some forces and cultivate some powerful individuals in the Great Thousand Worlds, which will inevitably affect the interests of many people."
"If someone comes knocking and things really get heated, then the Great Thousand Palace will need to step in..."
"Otherwise, if I were to kill someone, wouldn't that be the same as internal strife?"
Qin Tian's expression was somewhat strange; he understood the meaning behind Chu Yang's words.
To put it bluntly, Chu Yang wants to elevate him to power so that when he fights with other human experts, Chu Yang will have Chu Yang take his side!
Although the Great Thousand Palace will not intervene in power struggles, as Chu Yang said, the extraterrestrial evil races are eyeing us covetously, and the fall of every Heavenly Sovereign is equivalent to the human race damaging its own foundation.
Therefore, whenever a major power clashes with another, the Great Thousand Palace often mediates, but it is relatively impartial.
But think about it carefully...
Chu Yang is the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. Just considering his slaying of three late-stage Xuanmo Emperor Asura demons, he can be described as having made outstanding military achievements and has made great contributions to resisting the evil races from beyond the realm.
Therefore, it seems reasonable for him to take sides when the time comes! (End of Chapter)
Chapter 394 The Heavenly Ranking! I, Old Sun, will shatter this heaven!
Qin Tian was by nature a decisive and efficient person. After clarifying all the details, he immediately took a deep breath and said:
"Rest assured, sir. If I am fortunate enough to become the head of the Daqian Palace, I will certainly help you cultivate outstanding talents!"
His words were cleverly worded, using the analogy of helping Chu Yang cultivate outstanding talents for the Great Thousand Worlds to subtly downplay the issue of taking sides.
Although it may be unfair at that time, everyone knows that in this world where the strong are respected, there is no absolute fairness.
Moreover, Qin Tian had another consideration...
That is Chu Yang's talent and strength!
At a young age, he reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign realm, and his strength was terrifying to the extreme.
In Qin Tian's view, Chu Yang's future potential will inevitably be immeasurable, and he may even become another guardian deity of the Great Thousand World after the Immortal Emperor!
His thoughts were the same as those of the higher-ups at Daqian Palace: Chu Yang was already so powerful now, how terrifying would he be when he reached the peak of his cultivation?
It's not that Qin Tian prioritizes the Great Thousand World in everything; he hasn't yet shouldered that responsibility, nor does he have that level of awareness.
But as long as it can deal with the extraterrestrial evil race, he will not hesitate in the slightest.
"After you return to the Great Thousand World, no matter what level your cultivation reaches, you must never set foot outside the realm again."
Chu Yang's seemingly random remark left Qin Tian somewhat bewildered, but after a moment's thought, he nodded slightly.
During his years in the outer realms, countless evil beings died at his hands, and the hatred in his heart gradually faded.
Most importantly, he realized that no matter how many extraterrestrial evil races he killed, as long as those Heavenly Demon Emperors were still alive, he could not shake their foundation.
The most important thing is to integrate the power of the vast world, conserve our strength, and cultivate the next generation.
Just then, Chu Yang suddenly looked up, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the roof, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Qin Tian also sensed an unusual aura and exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Great Sage!"
Chu Yang nodded. "I'll go take a look. You should focus on fully recovering from your injuries to avoid any hidden damage."
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
In front of the Dragon-Trapping Pagoda, everyone walked out of the building, looked up at the tower, their eyes gleaming with excitement, and even a hint of bloodlust in them.
A subtle killing intent emanated from each person, greatly affecting their emotions and state of mind.
"Concentrate!"
A soft shout suddenly rang out, and everyone snapped back to reality, a chill running down their spines, a wave of fear washing over them.
