Gu Qijue leaped into the air and landed atop a hundred-meter-tall ancient tree in the blink of an eye, gazing towards the distant mountain forest.
Roar!!
What met his eyes was a three-headed golden python, forty to fifty meters long, in the midst of attacking three Demon Race cultivators.
The three Demon Race cultivators each had a blue horn on their heads but otherwise looked no different from humans.
All three were male, with towering physiques like mountains, over two meters tall. One wielding a warhammer, one a war axe, and the other a battle saber, their powers were immensely formidable. Their bodies exuded raging demonic power, attacking from three different directions, alternating their main assaults, and quickly covered the three-headed golden python in blood. In less than ten minutes, the three Demon cultivators had solved the python.
"The blood of this wild beast python is incredibly nourishing, drink up!!"
Having slain the three-headed golden python, the brawny man with the warhammer shouted, and his head transformed into a bull-like lion shape, biting the beast's neck and greedily sucking its blood.
The other two followed suit, one biting the tail and the other the neck, both gulping the blood with deep pleasure.
Gu Qijue watched silently, not disturbing them for now. The golden python that took over a hundred rounds to encircle and attack in their hands was a mere second kill in his.
Within the Nine Dragon Inheritance, there was no classification of power levels for this world, leaving Gu Qijue clueless about his own standing.
Before long, the entire blood of the golden python was drained by the three brothers.
"That was amazing!!"
The eldest wiped the blood off his mouth, his head returning to human form, speaking with lingering satisfaction.
"Big brother, we've all advanced to Combat Martial Level Tier Nine. The group recently announced a combat bounty; going to the battlefield to kill enemies can earn combat achievements, which can be exchanged for many good things. If we can achieve a hundred thousand combat merits, we can exchange for a Celestial Martial Fruit, and then we'll be Celestial Martial Level powerhouses too."
The second brother took out a light brain, glancing at the announcement from their Celestial Demon Mercenary Group, saying: "We should return early, reach the battlefield, and earn combat achievements as soon as possible."
The eldest nodded: "I think so too. This time, heading to the battlefield, we three brothers must strive for a hundred thousand combat merits. Only by advancing to Celestial Martial Level can we be considered powerhouses."
Next, the three brothers skinned the golden python and were about to leave.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed before them, and Gu Qijue appeared in front of them.
"Who!?"
The three brothers were startled, retreating as if facing a formidable enemy.
The man before them, with two dragons on his back, exuded an eerie aura that pressed down upon them, inspiring immense fear.
It was a suppression on a life level—a feeling of being ants before a towering dragon.
He was covered head to toe in traits of the dragon.
They were shocked.
Wasn't the Blood Dragon Race, three thousand years ago, exterminated by the Continent Alliance for consuming billions of souls?
What is the story with this guy?
"S-s-sir, may I ask who you are?"
The eldest cautiously stepped forward, asking in a low voice.
Gu Qijue's intimidating gaze slowly swept over the three.
Just as they sensed a killing intent and wanted to flee.
Gu Qijue raised his hand and sliced through the air.
Instantly,
three heads rolled on the ground like melons, blood spraying and staining the ground red.
Gu Qijue stepped forward, taking the storage bracelets from the brothers' hands.
Upon inspection, he found only a few useless Evolution Fruits among some ordinary clothing.
Gu Qijue took out the eldest brother's light brain. The Nine Dragon Inheritance memory recorded how to use them.
It was similar to Gu Qijue's previous phone, but its functions were vast beyond compare.
With the owner's death, the light brain was now unclaimed.
Gu Qijue returned to the riverbank, eating some roasted meat as he studied the light brain.
In less than half an hour, he became roughly familiar with the light brain's functionalities.
Having this light brain in hand was incredibly convenient.
Purchasing goods, no matter where you are, anything worth over ten thousand Star Coins could trigger a wormhole and arrive at the buyer's location within minutes.
You could also spend Star Coins to open teleportation wormholes to most places.
"Poor guys!"
Seeing only seventy thousand Star Coins in the account of this light sphere, Gu Qijue couldn't help but vent.
Checking the other two brothers' light brains, all three accounts had a total of only one hundred fifty thousand.
Gu Qijue transferred all his Star Coins to one account and then entered the mall to buy clothes.
"So expensive!"
Browsing through suits in the mall, Gu Qijue saw that the cheapest ones cost ten thousand Star Coins.
He browsed for a while.
Gu Qijue purchased a five-thousand Star Coin black suit, along with shoes, spending a total of six thousand Star Coins.
A few minutes later, not far from him, a wormhole hummed into existence.
A box slowly floated out from within.
The efficiency was unmatched.
Gu Qijue took the box, placed it in his brow space, and then jumped into the clear river, washing up before putting on the new outfit.
The tall and straight Gu Qijue looked absolutely perfect in the newly purchased suit.
"Three thousand years ago, the Blood Dragon Race was exterminated. I must be cautious with revealing my identity, and it must not be known that I am related to the Blood Dragon Race for now."
Gu Qijue muttered to himself: "Blood Fang left a Black Star Card at the Black Star Group, and only I know the code and password for it. It's been three thousand years; I don't know if it still can be claimed... In this world, you need Star Coins everywhere, and without them, you cannot move a step."
He currently couldn't harness the power of the Dragon Pearl within him to elevate himself and required an expensive Blood Crystal Stone as an aid.
Without significant wealth, he could only evolve step by step.
Yet if he could assimilate and integrate the power within the Nine Dragon Pearl, he would rapidly rise to power.
Only by fully fusing the nine Dragon Pearls would they truly be Gu Qijue's Dragon Pearls.
For now, they were merely external objects.
Gu Qijue exhaled lightly, entering the Light Brain wormhole transmission company, selecting the teleportation coordinates: Black Star Group!
Ding! To teleport from your current location to the Black Star Group will cost seventy thousand Star Coins. Would you like to proceed with the teleportation?
The system prompt appeared.
Yes!!
Buzz!
As Gu Qijue clicked it,
a biological teleportation wormhole immediately appeared a few steps ahead of him.
"Blood Fang, bless me to retrieve the Black Star Card you left behind smoothly!"
Gu Qijue whispered softly, stepping through the teleportation wormhole and disappearing.
Emperor Star was simply too vast, and coupled with planetary will suppression, even those who could fly rarely chose not to use wormholes or aircraft for travel.
Especially for traversing between continents, super wormhole teleportation or large aircraft capable of space jumps were essential.
Unless you were Emperor Level or Saint Level powerhouse who had touched upon spatial domains, capable of direct crossings.
