Chapter 790: 621 Guanghan Palace

"Please, rest assured, elders. My determination will not falter due to external forces," Jiang Chen said firmly. Unyielding in the face of all opposition, he was determined to retaliate against the Demon Clan.

This time, his resolve to strike the Demon Clan was unshakeable; not even the resurrection of Di Jun Taiyi could stop him.

"We never doubted your determination, Lord Emperor. We are simply curious how you will handle internal opposition," the three venerable elders said with a smile.

"Opposition?"

"From where? My battle against the Demon Clan is a nod to popular sentiment and an inevitable trend. With the support of billions of my kin, anyone who dares to stand in my way is going against the Human Race and defying destiny."

Jiang Chen laughed out loud. The grievances of the Human Race’s elites against the Demon Clan were his strongest source of support. As long as he had their backing, all internal opposition would be rendered meaningless.

Moreover, the Demon Clan’s current strength was inscrutable. If they did not act and probe them, they could very well become a major threat to the Human Race.

Times have changed, as have our circumstances. While facing the Demon Clan was fraught with difficulties in the past, today, it may not necessarily be so.

"As long as Emperor Lord has a plan in mind, elders can now take your leave. I wonder if there’s any chance we can contact any of our old friends at this time?"

After bidding farewell to Jiang Chen, the three venerable elders of the Human Race left and headed to various parts of Heaven and Earth.

Not long after the departure of the elders, Jiang Chen, who was sitting majestically on his throne, moved. A dazzling divine light exploded from his body. In an instant, he transformed into a stream of light, speeding into the depths of the Gouchen Star.

Boom!

Inside Gouchen Star, an overwhelming martial aura mingled with the imperial aura, manifesting an endless surge of power that swept towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen could initially ignore this power. However, as he approached the core of Gouchen Star, the strength grew increasingly formidable. In the end, even with his strength, he felt the immense pressure. Gradually, his speed slowed, and he had to exert his divine power to resist.

Gouchen Star, one amongst the five Supreme Stars, its original source is at the level of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. The strength contained within is unimaginably robust. Not just Jiang Chen, who is at the Innate Dao Venerable Realm, but even a quasi-saint, would find it impossible to penetrate its core.

Rumble...

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen used the Imperial Decree in his hand that symbolised the emperor’s authority. It released an astonishing majesty, dissipating the surrounding force and creating a pathway to the heart of the Gouchen Star.

The Gouchen Emperor, recognised by the will of the Gouchen Star, naturally provided protection for Jiang Chen to reach the star’s core.

With no further obstacles, Jiang Chen quickly arrived at the heart of Gouchen Star. This was a unique space, seemingly infinite, filled with pure Chaos energy, engulfing everything with its disordered and imperial aura.

Jiang Chen glanced around but did not find the Gouchen Star Map. To this, he was not surprised. After all, if the Gouchen Star Map could be found easily, it would have been taken long ago.

"Sun God map, rise!"

"Heavenly Star Banner, rise!"

"Star Array, rise!"

Jiang Chen first summoned the Sun God map. After noticing no gain, he summoned all the Heavenly Star Banners he possessed. Upon still seeing no result, he used his divine sense to establish the Star Array in this location.

Buzz...

The moment Jiang Chen gathered the forces of the three together, the previously calm space began to tremble mysteriously and emit peculiar fluctuations.

Then, a starlight emerged out of nowhere and landed in Jiang Chen’s hand, transforming into an extraordinary star map. The map portrayed a single, brilliant star that was radiating endless brilliance.

This depicted the Gouchen Star. Naturally, this star map was none other than the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Gouchen Star Map, nurtured by the Gouchen Star itself.

Although the Gouchen Star and Nanji Star are both among the five Supreme Stars, they are not comparable to the Sun, Taiyin, and Purple Mist Stars.

For this reason, while the Gouchen Star Map was indeed a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, it only contained thirty-seven innate divine prohibitions, rendering its power inferior to the Sun God map.

"Merge!"

Moved by a thought, Jiang Chen put the Sun God map and the Gouchen Star Map together. In an instant, both maps merged into one, becoming an even stronger star map. Although it was not as powerful as a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was not far behind.

"When the Sun God map and the Taiyin map merge, they become the top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure: the Yin and Yang map. If they are further fused with the Purple Mist Star map, it will be transformed into the Innate Treasure: the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map."

"Subsequently, no matter how many Innate Star Maps are fused into the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map; its power will increase, but its name remains the same. Only when all 365 Innate Star Maps are merged, will it metamorphose into the top-tier Innate Treasure: the Heavenly Star Map."

"But in this era, gathering all 365 Innate Star Maps is impossible. Among all of Heaven and Earth, only five Innate Star Maps exist. If they can be gathered, one would inevitably gain an Innate Treasure. As for whether it would be a lower, or middle rank Innate Treasure, it remains unknown."

Having acquired the object of his pursuit, Jiang Chen had no reason to stay at the Gouchen Star any longer. He moved, leaving this place and returning to the Gouchen Divine Palace. Afterward, Jiang Chen moved again. Leaving the palace, he flew out towards the exterior of the Gouchen Star.
