The Demon Slayer Token flew out and instantly absorbed the fragments of the Mother Queen's demon soul. Afterward, three thousand Demon Slaying Points were added to the number displayed on the Demon Slayer Token.
Reaching one thousand Demon Slaying Points allowed one to advance to an Intermediate Demon Slayer, while reaching three thousand points, or killing a Demon Emperor, allowed one to directly become an Advanced Demon Slayer!
Liu Bai's current situation clearly fulfilled the requirements, so as long as he returned to the Great Thousand Tower, he would become an Advanced Demon Slayer. And all of this had been accomplished in less than a month since he became a Demon Slayer.
One had to know that since ancient times, there had only ever been a single Demon Slayer King, the highest rank among Demon Slayers. Below that, the strongest rank was Advanced Demon Slayer. Anyone capable of obtaining this title would at least possess elder level status even within those super forces.
Moreover, since the creation of the Demon Slayer profession, this was the first time someone had become an Advanced Demon Slayer in such a short amount of time. If Chu Xiong and the others found out, they would probably cry themselves unconscious in the restroom.
Of course, if not for Liu Bai's interference, this record should originally have belonged to Mu Chen, the Child of Destiny. And that fellow was even more monstrous than him, directly advancing from a Low Rank Demon Slayer to a Demon Slayer King. Even Liu Bai, with all his cheats, could not accomplish that.
When the Mother Queen perished, Liu Bai could feel the entire world becoming lively once more.
Although the land remained dark and the sky was still shrouded in demonic aura, without the Mother Queen, everything would gradually improve in the future.
Liu Bai seemed to hear waves of cheering echoing beside his ears, as though the world itself were celebrating the victory of its savior.
At the same time, a mysterious power entered Liu Bai's body, instantly replenishing the Spiritual Energy that had nearly dried up within him.
Buzz!
Two figures emerged from Liu Bai's body, and his aura rapidly fell from Half Step Heavenly Sovereign back to the Initial Phase of Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign.
Afterward, the black clothed and white clothed Liu Bai smiled faintly at the original body before dissipating on their own.
"It's finally over…"
Liu Bai stretched lazily. This had been the hardest battle since his debut and also the limit of the strength he could currently unleash.
"That power just now should have been this plane's gratitude…"
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Saber Plane had clearly suffered more severe corruption than the White Dragon Continent. Furthermore, it had probably not formed a complete Plane Spirit and only possessed a simple world will, so the help it could provide him was very limited.
Liu Bai had actually known this long ago. After all, back then, the world will had exhausted itself merely to elevate Ding Xuan to Greater Earthly Sovereign. Compared to a true Plane Spirit, the difference was enormous!
"If events had followed the original course, the Heavenly Saber Plane would probably have been completely devoured, allowing the Feind Race to gain another Demon Emperor…"
But whether for the Great Thousand World or the Feind Race, this would not have caused much impact.
Since ancient times, how many Lower Planes had been invaded by foreign races? Yet how many could truly end up like the Tian Xuan Plane or the White Dragon Plane?
Just as Liu Bai was sighing emotionally, several streaks of light rapidly flew over from the distant sky. They were precisely Ding Xuan, Chu Xiong, and the others.
"Brother Liu!"
Looking at Liu Bai standing in the air, everyone stared at him with uncertain and shocked expressions.
They had all witnessed the previous battle. Forget everything else, just those five great emperors suppressing the entire plane had already shocked them beyond words.
Liu Bai smiled faintly at everyone and said, "It's fine. All the demonic races have been dealt with. The Heavenly Saber Continent is now safe."
Although they had already guessed as much, hearing it directly still caused everyone's hearts to tremble violently once more.
After a long while, Chu Xiong finally recovered and hesitated before asking, "Brother Liu, the one you fought just now should not merely have been a Demon King, right…"
Even top tier Demon Kings were merely Half Step Heavenly Sovereigns. Although such existences were powerful, they were not so powerful that these people could not even watch the battle.
But judging from the commotion caused by that battle, they even suspected that if it continued, the entire Heavenly Saber Plane might have been destroyed. That was absolutely impossible for the Demon King realm to achieve. Even Half Emperors could not accomplish such a feat!
"Ah, that's right." Liu Bai smiled calmly and said in an indifferent tone, "The origins of the Blackstone Race are rather special. In truth, the entire race is just a single Mother Queen who split herself into countless offspring."
"The one fighting me just now was precisely that Mother Queen…"
Chu Xiong swallowed hard and did not continue asking.
In truth, there was no need to ask further. Since the Mother Queen mentioned by Liu Bai could not possibly merely be at the Demon King realm, then there was only one remaining answer.
A Demon Emperor!
Liu Bai, an Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign expert, had actually slain a Demon Emperor!
If they spread such a story in the Great Thousand World, probably nobody would believe them.
Compared to this, Liu Bai reaching Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign by consecutively breaking through two major realms in less than a month no longer seemed all that shocking.
They could even explain it away by claiming he had hidden his true strength from the beginning.
Liu Bai paid no attention to their thoughts and instead looked toward Ding Xuan.
"Although the demonic calamity has been eliminated, it is impossible for this plane to recover in a short period of time."
"More importantly, the Blackstone Race being able to enter this plane proves that another spatial node connected to the territory of the Feind Race exists somewhere. If this problem is not resolved, then other Feind races may enter here in the future."
"So my suggestion is that you bring away all the survivors…"
If someone could become the Plane Lord of the Heavenly Saber Plane, then the matter would become simple.
That was because a Plane Lord possessed the ability to move the spatial plane itself. At that point, they would only need to transfer the plane somewhere safe.
Unfortunately, nobody present had become the Plane Lord, and judging from the current condition of the plane, it was impossible for it to nurture a new Plane Lord. Therefore, this plane could only continue being abandoned.
Fortunately, now that the Blackstone Race was gone, the native lifeforms remaining within the underwater city would have sufficient time to relocate. At worst, they could all be moved to the Heavenly Saber Continent. In any case, Liu Bai estimated that not many survivors remained.
However, Liu Bai merely offered his own suggestion regarding this matter. As for how things would ultimately be handled, that depended on Ding Xuan himself.
Now that the mission had been completed, everyone had obtained what they wanted. Although Chu Xiong and the others had each only gained several hundred Demon Slaying Points, they were already overjoyed.
After all, if one counted things properly, they had not really done much in this operation. During the early stages, they had merely helped distract the enemies and acted as tools to lure monsters so that Liu Bai could directly kill the boss and claim the rewards.
As for the later stages, they had completely become spectators. There had been some danger, but not much.
Compared to the rewards they obtained, that little contribution was insignificant.
Therefore, everyone now held feelings of gratitude toward Liu Bai.
"Brother Liu, thank you very much for this matter. In the future, if there is ever anything you need from me, Chu Xiong, just say the word. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
She Ming and the others also expressed similar sentiments.
These people understood clearly in their hearts that judging from Liu Bai's performance, his future prospects were absolutely limitless. He would definitely occupy a place within the Great Thousand World someday. Therefore, this was the perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with him before he fully rose to prominence. To them, this was practically reaching above their own status.
Afterward, everyone prepared to leave.
Only Ding Xuan chose to remain behind, because he still needed to determine how the Heavenly Saber Plane would be handled next.
After returning to the Great Thousand World, Liu Bai did not choose to return to the Skylaw Continent. Instead, he followed Chu Xiong and the others toward the Great Thousand Tower branch on Abyss Continent once more.
After all, they had finally obtained so many Demon Slaying Points. If they did not use them, would that not be a waste? Moreover, they also needed to raise their Demon Slayer ranks.
When the group returned to the Great Thousand Tower and met that middle aged beautiful woman once more, she clearly still remembered them.
Furthermore, when she saw Liu Bai's Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign cultivation, even her originally calm eyes could not help revealing a trace of shock.
"You little fellows seem to have gained quite a lot from this trip…"
The Abyss Continent was not like the Saint Abyss Continent, where demonic disasters frequently occurred, so sometimes a very long time could pass without anyone coming to raise their Demon Slayer rank.
Thus, Liu Bai's group arriving all at once with six people was naturally rather eye catching.
However, it was actually not too bad. Among the six of them, aside from Liu Bai, only She Ming and Chu Xiong had accumulated one thousand Demon Slaying Points, enough to advance to Intermediate Demon Slayer. The others were still somewhat lacking.
Of course, they still had enough points to exchange for some items to improve their strength.
When she saw the astonishing number of four thousand one hundred Demon Slaying Points on Liu Bai's Demon Slaying Token, the middle aged beautiful woman once again revealed unconcealable shock.
"You how many Demon Kings did you kill?"
"Or perhaps you killed a Demon Emperor…"
Even she herself did not quite believe that last sentence. She would rather believe that Liu Bai had wiped out a Demon King nest and killed dozens of Demon Kings!
But in truth, such a situation was even harder to believe. Judging from the nature of the Feind Race, if there truly had been dozens of Demon Kings gathered together, how could a Demon Emperor possibly not have been born.
"Hehe, Senior flatters me. It was merely luck."
Liu Bai smiled modestly.
Yet his words caused the middle aged beautiful woman to visibly suck in a breath of cold air.
"So it really is true You little fellow truly are astonishing."
However, the middle aged beautiful woman would obviously not foolishly become jealous of or suppress a junior. As members of the Great Thousand Palace, their hatred toward the Feind Race was stronger than anyone else's, and they understood even more clearly the burden they carried.
Encountering a genius like Liu Bai, who could already slay a Demon Emperor while only at the Initial Phase Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, then in the future, would he perhaps have the hope of becoming a second Demon Slaying King like Great Elder Qin Tian?
For such an unparalleled heaven pride, they would treasure him before it was even too late, so how could they possibly suppress him!
"Good, very good!"
"You are called Liu Bai, correct? Very good indeed. To kill a Demon Emperor with the strength of a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, you are the first in countless years of our Great Thousand Palace!"
The middle aged beautiful woman wore a face full of joy as her gaze toward Liu Bai became incomparably gentle.
"According to the rules, your Demon Slayer rank will be advanced into the High Rank Demon Slayer sequence. Furthermore, we will exceptionally grant you the title of 'Guest Elder' of the Great Thousand Palace."
One had to know that only Heavenly Sovereign level experts were qualified to become Guest Elders of the Great Thousand Palace. In other words, when Liu Bai officially became a Guest Elder of the Great Thousand Palace, he would already possess the qualifications to stand on equal footing with Heavenly Sovereign experts.
"Many thanks, Senior!"
The middle aged beautiful woman smiled and nodded.
"No need to be so polite. You may simply call me Senior Fang."
"It is a pity that this Great Thousand Tower on the Abyss Continent is merely a small branch and does not have a Tower Master position established. Otherwise, it would not have been me, a mere manager, receiving you today. However, rest assured, I will report your achievements to headquarters. Even if headquarters cannot provide you with any additional substantial rewards, they will at least remember you. When you meet them in the future, it should bring you certain benefits"
Joy appeared on Liu Bai's face as he hurriedly cupped his fists once more.
"Then many thanks to Senior Fang."
Later, after learning that Liu Bai and the others intended to exchange items with their Demon Slaying Points, Manager Fang directly instructed others to bring Chu Xiong and the rest to the treasury, while she personally led Liu Bai toward the great gate located at the deepest part.
With a wave of Manager Fang's long sleeve, dazzling Spiritual Energy light instantly blossomed across the bronze gate before it slowly opened amid creaking sounds.
The moment the gate opened, dense treasure light surged forth and shone directly onto Liu Bai's face, making it difficult for him to even open his eyes.
When he focused his gaze and looked inside, he could not help drawing in a breath of cold air.
Inside the enormous treasury, crystal spheres floated everywhere. Within every crystal sphere radiated dazzling treasure light.
"As expected of the Great Thousand Palace."
Looking at the treasury filled with treasures, Liu Bai could not help sighing in admiration.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the Great Thousand Palace's foundation. One had to know that this was merely a branch, and even a relatively small branch at that, yet it already possessed such abundant reserves. Such a foundation was far beyond what ordinary factions could compare to.
Manager Fang led Liu Bai inside and smiled.
"Prices are marked on all the crystal spheres. If there is something you fancy, then as long as your Demon Slaying Points are sufficient, you may exchange for it."
Liu Bai walked inside with shining eyes. After taking a simple look around, he discovered that the lowest grade items here were all High Rank Saint Artifacts, and the prices were "cheap and affordable." With his current Demon Slaying Points, he could exchange for several in one go!
Of course, Liu Bai did not truly do so. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he said,
"Senior, I require some high grade materials containing Five Elements Origin Power. Does this place have any?"
Since his cultivation had already advanced to Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, Liu Bai naturally needed to begin preparing for cultivating the Five Emperor Celestial Body in the future.
One had to know that within the inheritance he obtained from the Five Emperor Divine Sovereign, only after truly cultivating the Five Emperor Celestial Body could he be considered to have genuinely entered the path. Only then could Absolute Divine Abilities like the Five Emperor Divine Art unleash their true might.
At that time, his combat strength would undoubtedly experience another explosive leap!
"Oh, materials containing Five Elements Origin Power. I remember there should indeed be some. However, those items are all existences comparable to Quasi Saint Artifacts. Every single one is extremely valuable, so you should prepare yourself mentally…"
