Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 616 The Venerable One

"Young man, you're quite arrogant. No wonder you were able to kill two Venerables of the Demon Prison," the black-robed elder said with interest.

"What exactly do you want to do, sir!" Xu Yao asked, a cold glint in his eyes.

The old man in black robes ignored Xu Yao's question and instead raised his palm and slammed it down on Xu Yao's head.

Xu Yao immediately felt his life force rapidly draining away, and his physical body gradually withering away.

His expression changed drastically; he tried to struggle, but it was all in vain.

"Little guy, your physical body is quite good, but you shouldn't be from the Holy Demon Realm, right?"

"Your physical body contains the power of stars; could you be a prodigy from the Holy Star Domain?"

The old man in black robes looked at Xu Yao's physical body with increasing excitement, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

Upon hearing the black-robed elder's words, his expression changed drastically, and he understood what was happening.

Xu Yao was indeed from a star city in the Holy Star Domain, but he was not a person from the Holy Star Domain.

After all, he came from the Holy Star Domain, while the Demon Domain was very far away from the Holy Star Domain.

Once the other party finds out he comes from the Holy Star Domain, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, a determined look flashed in Xu Yao's eyes, and he directly crushed the magic crystal in his hand.

A vast and boundless stellar power surged into Xu Yao's body, frantically enhancing his strength.

"Wrath of the Stars!"

Xu Yao spoke incoherently, his eyes tightly closed, emanating an incomparably terrifying aura.

A terrifying power erupted, sweeping across the land like a volcanic eruption.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the space, followed by an explosion of earth-shattering power.

At this moment, Xu Yao opened his eyes, which flashed with a terrifying light, and he slammed his fist hard into the corpse of the Demon Emperor.

A muffled roar resounded, and the Demon Emperor's body exploded on the spot.

Then a golden light rushed towards Xu Yao and instantly entered his body.

I could feel the power and aura carried by this golden light.

Xu Yao's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that this golden light would contain a wisp of power from a peak Emperor Realm expert.

A thunderous roar erupted, and terrifying stellar power burst forth from Xu Yao's body, instantly transforming his entire form into a star.

He directly used the power of the stars to resist the invasion of this golden light.

"This kid is no ordinary person. He can actually draw upon the power of the stars. He truly deserves to be called a prodigy from the Holy Star Domain."

"If you could take me as your disciple, you would be quite suitable to be my apprentice!"

The old man in black robes watched this scene with a strange look in his eyes as he stared at Xu Yao.

Xu Yao used the power of the stars to continuously block the invasion of the golden light, and finally managed to suppress it.

"Thank you for saving me, senior. Otherwise, I would have been doomed!" Xu Yao said, clasping his hands in thanks to the old man in black robes.

"We're like saviors of each other," the old man in black robes chuckled.

"Why did you save me, senior? Let's just pretend we're strangers," Xu Yao said, looking at the black-robed old man with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you want a body? Here, I'll give you this one," the old man in black robes said calmly.

"Senior, do you know me?" Xu Yao asked with a surprised expression.

“You have the scent of my son, but you have no soul.”

The old man in black robes shook his head and sighed, "My son has also been possessed, and they even took out his star core."

"What?" Xu Yao was utterly shocked.

He never expected that the old man in front of him would know the son of the Lord of the Holy King's Palace.

“My son is no longer in this world,” the old man in black robes said with a sigh after a few seconds of silence.

Xu Yao fell silent upon hearing this, as he had not expected the other party to be the father of the Holy King Palace Master.

"Come with me first, let me get you out of here first," Xu Yao said after hesitating for a moment.

"Senior, can you take me away from here?" Xu Yao asked incredulously.

“Of course,” the old man in black robes said with a smile.

"But you must promise me that you will not reveal what happened today, nor will you tell anyone."

“Of course,” Xu Yao said without hesitation.

Although he is now seriously injured, he will still be able to leave this place alive.

"In that case, please follow me," said the old man in black robes.

Then, led by the old man in black robes, Xu Yao and the other two flew upwards.

When they passed through the black mist, what came into Xu Yao's view was a towering palace complex.

The palace was built on a cliff and surrounded by extremely dense star power.

Xu Yao's gaze fell on the plaque of the palace, which clearly read "Heavenly Demon Palace".

"Where is this place? How can there be such a dense concentration of stellar energy?" Xu Yao wondered in surprise.

"This place is called the Heavenly Demon Palace," the black-robed elder said, glancing at Xu Yao.

"This is the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Clan. I am the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Clan and also the Lord of the Demon Abyss," the black-robed elder said slowly.

"The ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Clan?" Xu Yao was taken aback.

He didn't know what realm the Demon Ancestor was at, but he was definitely stronger than himself.

"Senior, I have other matters to attend to and must return to the Holy Star Domain as soon as possible," Xu Yao said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm just letting you stay in the Heavenly Demon Palace for a few days. It won't take up too much of your time," the black-robed elder said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, senior!" Xu Yao said solemnly.

"No need to be so polite. You'll be one of my Heavenly Demon Clan sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to stand on ceremony," the black-robed elder said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

"Senior is too kind. I have not yet agreed to become your disciple, and I dare not presume to associate myself with the Heavenly Demon Clan," Xu Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said.

“You are my son’s friend, how could I possibly harm you?” the old man in black robes laughed.

"I am deeply grateful for your care, senior!" Xu Yao said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting.

He secretly thought to himself that if he could get guidance from the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Clan...

Then one's strength will surely increase dramatically, and perhaps one will be able to break through to the Great Emperor realm!

"Let's go. You've already reached the peak of the Saint Emperor realm. You should be able to break through to the Great Emperor realm by absorbing the star power here."

The patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan spoke calmly, his figure slowly flying towards the magnificent palace.

“Senior, this is my first time visiting the Heavenly Demon Realm. I would like to take a look around,” Xu Yao said.

"You can come find me after you break through. Remember, no one else is allowed to enter this place except you," the Heavenly Demon Clan Ancestor said, turning around.

"Okay," Xu Yao nodded and said.

"I'll go first." The patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan left these words and disappeared from the spot.

Xu Yao took a deep breath, glanced at the Heavenly Demon Ancestor beside him, and then turned and left.

Xu Yao was about to leave when he stopped, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Now that you're here, why rush to leave?" A detached voice suddenly rang in Xu Yao's ears.

Xu Yao's expression changed slightly, but when he turned his head, he found nothing.

He frowned, becoming secretly wary, because he felt he was being watched.

Xu Yao looked around with a serious expression, but deep within his eyes lay a profound purple gaze.

"This person is dangerous; we absolutely must not provoke him," Xu Yao thought to himself.

He knew that this person's cultivation was definitely at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, or even more terrifying, after all, he was a demon ancestor-level existence.

"Since you were able to find me, you must have guessed my identity."

"Now that you're here, let's be frank. What exactly do you want?" Xu Yao asked the old man in black robes in a deep voice.
