Chapter 759: The Legacy of the Chaos Divine Emperor!
As Xiao Ze's Demon Execution Order transformed, displaying the title of Senior Demon Executioner, a brilliant golden light erupted from the Demon Execution Tablets across the divisions of the Great Thousand Palace.
The Ripple Across the Great Thousand World
On Boundary Island, deep within the halls of the Great Thousand Palace, an elderly woman reading an ancient text suddenly raised her head.
Her gaze fell upon the glowing Demon Execution Tablet, surprise flickering across her face.
The golden glow signified a major breakthrough someone had ascended to the rank of Senior Demon Executioner or even Demon Execution King. Judging by the intensity of the tablet's aura, it was most likely a Senior Demon Executioner.
Though it seemed unassuming, Senior Demon Executioner status was a monumental achievement within the Great Thousand Palace.
According to the Palace's strict rules, ascending to this rank required 3,000 Demon Execution Points a number that few could achieve.
Slaying a lower tier Earth Sovereign demon yielded only 50 points.
Slaying a Ghost Demon Emperor granted 3,000 points.
Slaying a Profound Demon Emperor, like Ice Profound, earned 5,000 points, and Heaven Demon Emperors provided 10,000 points.
The jump to Senior Demon Executioner was so significant that the Great Thousand Palace bestowed upon these individuals the title of Honorary Guest Elder, a distinction usually reserved for Heavenly Sovereigns.
Achieving this rank in a single leap implied that Xiao Ze had either slain a Ghost Demon Emperor or even a Profound Demon Emperor, a feat that would naturally shake the entire Great Thousand World.
"Xiao Ze... Could it be the boy who was accompanying that young lady from the Futuo Ancient Clan?" the elderly woman murmured, her mind racing.
She dismissed the idea that Xiao Ze had defeated the Demon Emperor purely by his own strength. A cultivator who had entered Chaos Continent as a mere lower tier Earth Sovereign would find such a feat impossible.
Regardless, she acknowledged his achievement.
"Whether through sheer effort or external help, the result remains the same. The Great Thousand Palace has gained another Senior Demon Executioner."
With that, she set her book aside and made her way deeper into the Great Thousand Palace to report this significant event to the central headquarters.
Chaos Palace
Within the halls of the Radiance Palace, Xiao Ze exhaled deeply, the final traces of the Ice Profound Demon Emperor's soul vanishing under the Origin Imperial Flame.
"The Demon Execution Order? What kind of artifact is that?" the Master of Yaoguang inquired, stepping out from Xiao Ze's body with a curious expression.
Xiao Ze turned to him and explained with a smile.
"It's an artifact created by the Immortal Emperor and distributed by the Great Thousand Palace to incentivize the hunting of the External Demons. Points are awarded based on the strength of the demons slain."
Hearing this, the Master of Yaoguang's expression grew wistful.
"The Immortal Emperor's Great Thousand Palace must have been established after our time. It seems the Great Thousand World continued to endure."
Xiao Ze nodded solemnly.
"Indeed. The Great Thousand World owes its survival to the sacrifices of the ancient generations who stood against the External Demons."
After a moment of reflection, the Master of Yaoguang spoke with satisfaction.
"You've done well, Xiao Ze. Without you, the Ice Profound Demon Emperor's scheme might have succeeded, and I would not have been able to rest easy."
A Great Opportunity
The Master of Yaoguang suddenly grinned.
"Xiao Ze, there's a great opportunity I'd like to offer you. Are you interested?"
Xiao Ze blinked in surprise. Something that the Master of Yaoguang described as a "great opportunity" was bound to be extraordinary.
"Senior, I'm naturally interested. May I know what this opportunity entails?"
The Master of Yaoguang's expression grew serious.
"Due to your unparalleled affinity with stellar energy, I believe you may have a chance to inherit the Chaos Divine Emperor's Legacy!"
"Chaos Divine Emperor?" Xiao Ze's eyes gleamed with understanding.
Standing nearby, Qing Yanjing's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Senior, are you saying that Xiao Ze has a chance to inherit the Zhou Tian Star Map?"
The Master of Yaoguang nodded.
"Precisely. The Zhou Tian Star Map is one of the 36 peerless divine abilities, a treasure of unimaginable power. However, cultivating it requires extraordinary affinity with stellar energy, a level that no one has been able to meet since the Chaos Divine Emperor's time. Until now."
Xiao Ze's heart stirred. The Zhou Tian Star Map a divine ability of this caliber was indeed on par with the greatest techniques of the Great Thousand World.
A Test of Potential
"Would you like to try for the legacy of the Zhou Tian Star Map?" the Master of Yaoguang asked with a smile.
Xiao Ze took a deep breath, his gaze firm.
"Senior, I would be honored to attempt it."
The Master of Yaoguang nodded approvingly.
"Then let us head to the Chaos Palace, deep within the Chaos Continent. Whether or not you can succeed will depend entirely on you."
With that, the stage was set for Xiao Ze to challenge the legacy of the Chaos Divine Emperor.
