Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 663 - 625: You Know Me!

"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Wang Xu retracted his Bone Saber and asked with confusion.

The two people in front of him, one was dressed in fluttering white robes with a slender Blood Saber at his waist, the blade accented with strands of white; this was the famous "White Blood Saber" of Second Senior Brother Fu Hong.

The other had a tall, slender build, and his one red and one green eye were particularly strange. But Wang Xu knew, he was the number one on the Blade Seat, Senior Brother Wu Yuan!

Senior Brother Wu Yuan's "Silent Saber" was incredibly terrifying, just like the word "silent" in its name, when he fought, there was truly no sound, slaughtering enemies in the invisible!

And his saber lay within his red and green eyes, making him the only dual-saber practitioner among the eight Blade Seat students.

"We want to take you to meet someone." Senior Brother Wu Yuan spoke.

"Who?" Wang Xu asked.

"You'll know when you get there," Second Senior Brother Fu Hong said, "Of course, you can choose not to go, but there's something you need to see."

Second Senior Brother Fu Hong reached into his sleeve, pulling out a blue Fire Lotus the size of a palm.

Wang Xu's body instantly froze.

Chaos Devouring Fire!

This familiar yet strange feeling, Wang Xu could recognize at a glance the brilliant bluish Fire Lotus slowly rotating in Fu Hong's palm—it was a Chaos Devouring Fire!

"You guys..."

Wang Xu forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, taking a deep breath, "Tell me, who is it that really wants to see me."

If it was before encountering the arts record, meeting a Devourer from Chaos, Wang Xu would certainly have been very pleased and would have gone to meet them without further ado.

However, the arts record incident made Wang Xu realize that even if someone came from the same hometown, they could very well be an enemy, posing a greater threat to him than the people from the Ganges Realm!

"Even after seeing this, you're still unwilling to come with us?" Senior Brother Wu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Without knowing where we are going or who we are meeting, I won't leave with you." Wang Xu drew out his Bone Saber again, his gaze sharp, ready to fight at any moment.

Wu Yuan and Fu Hong exchanged a glance, a fierce gleam flashed in their eyes, but reflecting on the consequences of a forced confrontation, they looked deeply at Wang Xu and then turned, melding into the void, disappearing without a trace.

The void was left with only Wang Xu, his mood growing heavy.

The appearance of the Chaos Devouring Fire signified that there were still Devourers in the Ganges Realm, suggesting that the formidable adversary was not just the arts record!

...

The next day.

"Senior Brother Tai Xu, you are indeed as formidable as the rumors say; an ordinary cultivation can damage the Palace Mansion to such an extent!" The junior brother from the Fourteenth Mansion said with astonishment.

This junior brother came from the Constructing Hall, tasked with repairing damaged Palace Mansions.

Wang Xu's battle yesterday caused his name to rapidly rise within the Three Great Palaces of Truth, and the disciples from the Fourteenth Mansion received the news promptly.

Thus, when this junior brother responsible for repairing Palace Mansions saw the shattered, dilapidated structure, he wasn't too surprised; instead, he was filled with admiration.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

Wang Xu pulled out a treasure, and upon seeing it, the junior brother's eyes lit up, promptly accepting, "Not at all! Senior Brother Tai Xu's matters are my matters, I'd go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Accepting the treasure, the junior brother was ecstatic, while Wang Xu left the Eternal Palace directly.

With four hundred years until heading to the Pool of Truth, Wang Xu needed to seize every moment to enhance his strength, ensuring a greater chance of success.

Currently, the best method to strengthen Wang Xu was through devouring!

Utilizing the Chaos Devouring Fire's powerful devouring ability, he could easily slay even a sub-Venerable, unless encountering someone as extraordinarily perverse as Du Lu, which would pose a threat to him.

"First target, Black Death Green Demon Island."

This devouring quest had been long planned by Wang Xu.

If roaming aimlessly to find prey, it would be too inefficient.

But acting under the guise of "Demon-Vanquisher" not only allows him to devour potent and valuable wicked individuals, but also completes the Palace of Truth's "evil task"!

The evil task for Black Death Green Demon Island targets the death of the island master, Black Death Green Demon.

This is a powerful figure hidden at the First Layer's fringe. Should any inadequately powered cultivator pass by Black Death Green Demon Island, they would immediately be captured, having all their belongings taken lightly, or their life and soul seized otherwise!

The power of Black Death Green Demon was unrivaled, once a top student of the Palace of Truth went in a group to attack, but not only did they fail to break in, they nearly lost their lives.

However, precisely because of this, Black Death Green Demon realized he was being watched by the Palace of Truth, and so his actions became significantly more restrained, causing many formidable students to stop focusing on him.

While Wang Xu searched for suitable evil tasks, he happened to notice Black Death Green Demon had been stirring trouble again for nearly a thousand years, and he immediately took on this task.

...

In the silent, boundless vast ocean, Constant Spirit was abundant.

In the center of a sea spanning billions of miles, there sat an island only a few hundred miles in width, which from a distance looked like a mere rock on the water, entirely unremarkable.

Yet it was this unremarkable rock that struck fear into the hearts of innumerable cultivators passing through this ocean.

Because the island's owner was none other than Black Death Green Demon!

"Hahahaha..."

Lush, magnificent golden palaces resonated with melodious strings at times, but the beautiful tunes lost their original splendid ambiance due to a piercing laugh.

Above the palace, four beautiful and graceful women attended to a burly man reclining on a golden couch.

The burly man wore Fierce Beast fur, revealing blue, robust skin, both appreciating the fairy-like dancers below and enjoying the service of the four maids beside him, his eyes filled with indescribable pleasure.

This was the fearsome island master of the Black Death Green Demon Island!

Just then, the clinking sound of iron chains came from the palace door, followed by hundreds of cultivators entering the hall with bound hands, one by one.

The dancers seemed unfazed, continuing to twist their most supple bodies, offering their most beautiful dance, as if oblivious to the ragged, blood-soaked cultivators with disheveled hair beside them.

"O King, these cultivators have been thoroughly interrogated, all treasures have been plundered, now awaiting your decision!" A subordinate respectfully approached, whispering in Black Death Green Demon's ear.

The Black Death Green Demon cast a leisurely glance at those cultivators with blank stares, overwhelmed by pain to the point of numbness, as if they were walking corpses, and waved his hand lightly, saying indifferently, "Such weak cultivators are a waste to refine, just kill them."

"Yes!"

The subordinate immediately turned around, a murderous intent bursting forth in his gaze.

He pointed with two fingers, and a green beam as thick as a thumb shot straight out!

The green beam curved through the air, piercing through the chests, foreheads, and abdomens of the cultivators... In almost an instant, over a hundred cultivators' internal cores shattered, and they fell to the ground dead.

"Take them away!" the subordinate waved his hand, and servants quickly hurried up, efficiently disposing of the corpses of the over a hundred cultivators, leaving the ground as smooth as new, without a trace of blood.

The dancers continued their tireless dancing from beginning to end, the lives of over a hundred cultivators ending like weeds before their eyes, but they were long numbed, paying no attention at all.

The grand golden palace continued its revelry.

Suddenly.

The Black Death Green Demon's hairs stood on end, and he sprang up from the bed, his pupils contracting to the extreme!

"Who!"

Used to sweeping away his enemies, the Black Death Green Demon now was extremely tense, an unusual trace of fear in his eyes!

He understood, a formidable figure had arrived, and was very close to him, someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke!

"Island Master of Black Death, no need to worry."

A calm voice came, and the Black Death Green Demon turned sharply, horrified to find a handsome man in blue robes, with the words "Du Lu" embroidered on his chest, smiling at him.

This smile should have been warm and approachable, but it terrified the Black Death Green Demon to his core, causing his body to tremble like a leaf sprite, and even his soul to shiver!

"You...you..." It was the first time the Black Death Green Demon was scared like this, like an ordinary person encountering a lion, no, a pride of lions!

"I need to meet an old friend later, and I'd like to borrow your Black Death Green Demon Island for that, would that be alright?" Du Lu said with a gentle smile.

"Yes! Use it as you please, I have no objections at all!" The Black Death Green Demon nodded like a pecking chick.

"Very good indeed."

Du Lu continued, "This friend of mine is a rare person from my homeland. It's our first formal meeting, so I ought to give him a gift. Wouldn't you say, Island Master of Black Death?"

"Yes! Yes! Just tell me what treasure you need, and I will find it for you immediately!" Cold sweat poured down the Black Death Green Demon's forehead.

"No need to trouble yourself, after all, since it's a gift, I must personally handle it."

As Du Lu's words fell, the surrounding space suddenly darkened, and an extremely bright white light flashed in an instant!

The entire body of the Black Death Green Demon stiffened abruptly.

The next instant, his entire body, except for the head, was divided into hundreds of pieces!

Du Lu held a black-green internal core in his hand, which was the Black Death Green Demon's core, unstained by a drop of blood!

With the Black Death Green Demon dead, those servants and dancers all collapsed dead on the spot as well.

They were soul puppets controlled by the Black Death Green Demon's soul; without their soul master, they could no longer survive.

"Wu Yuan, Fu Hong." Du Lu murmured softly.

The void behind him trembled, and Senior Brother Wu Yuan and Second Brother Fu Hong stepped out of the void, bowing respectfully to Du Lu, "Greetings, Master!"

"Go, open the grand array, and welcome the distinguished guest." Du Lu instructed.

"Yes!"

...

It took Wang Xu only three years to travel from the Eternal Palace to Black Death Green Demon Island.

"So that's Black Death Green Demon Island."

The closer Wang Xu got to Black Death Green Demon Island, the more he slowed down his speed.

It is said that the Black Death Green Demon set numerous arrays and traps around the island, and a careless intrusion could lead to disastrous consequences.

Wang Xu was powerful and naturally didn't worry about the threat of those arrays and traps; for him, no matter how skillful the Black Death Green Demon was, he wouldn't escape death today.

Nevertheless, to quickly resolve the assault on the Black Death Green Demon, Wang Xu had to proceed cautiously, to avoid alerting him and allowing him to escape.

"Huh?"

However, after Wang Xu advanced for a long while, he found no trace of any array as he scanned constantly with his spiritual sense, "What's going on?"

Perplexed, Wang Xu continued slowly.

Suddenly, a shadow shot toward Wang Xu!

Wang Xu's nerves tensed instantly, and he swung his Bone Saber directly!

"Hmm? Is it an internal core?"

Upon suddenly realizing this shadow was a black-green internal core, Wang Xu immediately stopped, catching the core with his hand.

"This is the Black Death Green Demon's core, come in." A voice called out.

"Du Lu?!" Wang Xu recognized it immediately, and his guard rose sharply again, "Why are you here!"

In the golden palace, Du Lu shook his head, stepping forward.

Before Wang Xu, Du Lu's figure emerged from the void.

"Did you kill the Black Death Green Demon?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"There's no need to ask about these things, let's talk about our matters, Tai Xu." Du Lu said.

"Our matters? Are you saying you're also a Devourer? I've already known that, no need for you to say more!" Wang Xu's face darkened, prepared for battle at any moment.

"No, not only that."

Du Lu smiled, "We met a long time ago, yes, it was in the Chaos, you should be able to guess who I am." (To be continued.
