Chapter 433: Demon Lair Appears in the World

The void seemed quiet, but occasionally, huge icebergs would drift by.

Though the icebergs appeared slow, their actual movement speed reached hundreds of thousands of miles per second due to their immense size. If a celestial or deity were accidentally hit, they could be fatally struck.

"Phew!"

Wu Yuan's figure flickered, easily dodging each iceberg, remaining in this area.

Last time, he came to this area and was teleported into the Black Demon Blood Lair.

"Last time, the Black Demon Blood Lair appeared quickly." Wu Yuan scanned the area. "This time, nearly half a day has passed, and it still hasn't shown up?"

Time passed.

Another half an hour passed.

Suddenly.

"Crack~" A crack appeared in the distance of the void, followed by an invisible force enveloping Wu Yuan, pulling him into the crack.

During this process, Wu Yuan didn't struggle; instead, he complied.

...

In the dim and vast void, at its center lay the vast black mountain range, spanning countless billions of miles.

Buzz~

Similar to last time, Wu Yuan felt a slight flicker in space, finding himself at the foot of the towering black mountain range.

Before him stood the towering black palace.

"Little guy, you've got guts to come back so soon." A cold voice emanated from within the palace.

Bang~ Bang~ Footsteps sounded as a figure in a black robe emerged from the palace. His figure seemed somewhat illusory, his aura ethereal yet domineering.

With ice-cold eyes, he looked down at Wu Yuan.

It was the 'Great Demon' from the Black Demon Blood Lair that Wu Yuan encountered the first time.

"Senior Great Demon," Wu Yuan slightly bowed, appearing respectful but inwardly extremely vigilant, ready to use 'Nine Heavens, One Thought' at any moment.

Unlike last time.

This time, as his original form, he couldn't afford to be careless. Survival came first.

"Hmm? So you've broken through to become a celestial." The Great Demon looked down at Wu Yuan. "However, becoming a celestial does give you an advantage in facing the Black Demon Blood Lair."

"But ultimately, the test of the Black Demon Blood Lair still values your potential." Wu Yuan listened quietly.

Last time, the other party didn't say so much.

"I can sense the aura of the Black Demon Pillar on you, so you're here as your original form." The Great Demon spoke coldly. "You have guts, meet the basic requirements, I won't make things difficult for you. But whether you can pass the Lord's test and gain the Lord's approval depends on yourself."

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded. As long as it was a normal test, it was fine. What he feared most was the other party, like last time, acting unreasonably and killing him directly.

That would be unfair.

In fact, although Wu Yuan used the power of the Origin to transform the Black Demon Star into the Origin Star, he only transformed two of the twelve Black Demon Pillars into Origin Pillars. There were still ten remaining, maintaining their appearance as Black Demon Pillars, just in case of accidents in the Black Demon Blood Lair.

After all.

Who knew how this mysterious Great Demon would view the Origin Star and Origin Pillars? Naturally, it was safer to leave some Black Demon Pillars.

"Enter the Black Demon Hall." The Great Demon pointed to the palace behind him. "The Black Demon Hall was the residence of the former Lord. Your potential is remarkable... perhaps you can obtain the Lord's treasure and come back alive from the Black Demon Hall."

"Go."

"Thank you, Senior Great Demon." Wu Yuan said, with his own desires in mind.

Come back alive?

In Wu Yuan's mind, this journey was not only about obtaining the Lord's treasure but also about exploring the relationship between the Black Demon Pillars, the Black Demon Star, and a series of treasures and the Black Tower. That was the top priority.

"Whether it's testing talent or strength... I want to see what the Lord of the Black Demon will demand." Wu Yuan thought to himself. He had enough confidence in himself.

Even if it was a terrifying Lord.

If he didn't have confidence, would Wu Yuan dare to let his original form enter?

Swish!

From the outside, the great hall appeared endlessly dim, resembling a vast black cave. Wu Yuan flew directly into the hall, disappearing into the endless darkness.

"After cultivating for over a thousand years, one can kill an eight-fold celestial expert." The Great Demon watched as Wu Yuan entered the temple.

"And has also condensed the true meaning of time and space?"

"With such talent, the Lord of the past couldn't compare in his early years... I wonder if he can succeed." The Great Demon pondered silently.

Although trapped in the Black Demon Blood Lair, he couldn't escape his scrutiny of everything in the Snowlight Mist Realm, knowing Wu Yuan's background very well.

However.

He was created by the Black Demon Lord and inherited the same temperament as the Black Demon Lord. If Wu Yuan succeeded, he would be pleased. If he failed? He wouldn't be disappointed.

"The Lord is destined to fall and cannot return." The Great Demon murmured to himself. "Daoist... since you want to erase everything about the Lord, why leave me behind, why leave the Black Demon Blood Lair?"

Suddenly.

A trace of astonishment and shock flashed in the Great Demon's eyes. "This... is the aura of the Ancestral Tower, he is an Ancestral Tower mark bearer... how is this possible!"

He could hardly believe it.

After countless eons, even the Lord had fallen into endless years, and yet, someone had come?

The Great Demon was a spiritual entity.

Although excited, as a spiritual entity, he instinctively began to activate the immense array power contained within the Black Demon Blood Lair according to the commands left by the former Black Demon Lord: "Blood Sacrifice Array of the Demon Lair, activate."

"Demon Realm, calling begins."

"Snowlight Mist Realm, target locked, shift! Begin."

...

Inside the Black Demon Hall, it was all dark.

In the center of the hall, the floor pattern was a huge black circle, and Wu Yuan stood stunned on the black circular pattern.

At this moment, he felt excited and shocked.

Because.

As he stepped onto the black spherical pattern in the center of the hall, he suddenly felt, from his lower dantian palace, the previously dormant Black Tower trembling.

This tremor surpassed the sensation Wu Yuan felt when he encountered the Black Demon Star and the Black Demon Pillars, a thousand times, ten thousand times over.

It made Wu Yuan's twelvefold primordial spirits tremble as if they were about to break free.

"Whoosh!"

Even the Black Tower in his lower dantian palace involuntarily emitted endless red light, conveying a message to Wu Yuan: "Obtain it, you must obtain it!"

When Wu Yuan hesitated.

"Hum~"

Silently, countless light points gathered, forming a shadow of a black tower in front of Wu Yuan.

It was about a meter tall, hanging in the void, like a projection, yet exuding vast and unfathomable power.

When it appeared, the tremor sensation in Wu Yuan's lower dantian palace became even stronger, as if it were about to break free.

The fluctuations were extremely intense.

"This? Is it a projection of the Black Tower?" Wu Yuan was stunned.

The tower projection in front of him was exactly the same as the Black Tower in his lower dantian palace, not even a single detail was missing.

At this moment, waves of shock and doubt surged in Wu Yuan's heart.

"The Black Demon Pillars, the Black Demon Star, they are all driven by the power of 'Origin,' and the power of Origin gave birth to the Black Tower... The Black Tower in my lower dantian palace is just a projection of the Black Tower's main body." Countless thoughts flashed through Wu Yuan's mind. "The Black Demon Lord definitely has an inexplicable connection with the Black Tower."

"Or is it that the Black Demon Lord was the previous owner of the Black Tower?" A bold thought flashed through Wu Yuan's mind.

The Black Tower, incredibly mysterious.

To this day, Wu Yuan still hadn't figured out its true appearance, but today, he finally caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

What puzzled and hesitated Wu Yuan the most was how the projection of the Black Tower suddenly formed in the Black Demon Hall.

Could it be that the strong response generated by the Black Tower created by himself was also known to the Black Demon Blood Lair?

In Wu Yuan's heart, there was an instinctual unease.

This is an instinctual reaction that arises after the greatest secret is glimpsed.

Suddenly.

Whoosh~ A blurry figure condensed behind the projection of the Black Tower. He sat on the black throne, his aura vast, his face vague, but his eyes were clear, like burning stars. An invisible pressure spread, causing Wu Yuan's mind to tremble.

The Black Demon Lord? Wu Yuan was slightly shocked.

"Ancestral Tower mark bearer..."

"Did you come specifically because of the origin induction?" The blurry figure on the throne, his voice resounded majestically in the temple, yet contained a hint of melancholy.

This voice had an invisible infectiousness, making Wu Yuan instinctively feel a sense of sadness.

"You are very weak... If I were still alive, you would undoubtedly die."

"But it's a pity."

"All because of the Daoist... So what if I'm dead? What does your life or death have to do with me?"

"Since you want it, I'll give it to you, but it also depends on your strength. If your strength is insufficient, then you'll perish here."

"I just hope you won't regret it in the future... The path of Origin, it's fate and calamity, don't end up like me, just a pawn for others, hahaha!" The blurry voice on the throne laughed loudly, with endless sorrow and resentment in his voice.

The invisible force was also affecting Wu Yuan.

Making Wu Yuan couldn't help but shed tears, countless sad memories of the past emerged in his mind, the intangible sadness filled his soul, suppressing all thoughts.

Pop~

Like a bubble bursting, the projection of the Black Tower and the illusion of the Black Demon Lord dissipated at the same time.

The invisible force shrouding the hall also dissipated rapidly.

For a long time.

Wu Yuan finally regained his senses, and immediately, an endless shock surged in his heart: "Too terrifying, this kind of terrifying emotional influence is simply unimaginable."

Wu Yuan was sure.

If the kind of thoughts just now continued to affect him, he would probably be guided to commit suicide without hesitation.

"The Black Demon Lord has fallen, and this is probably just a remnant of his will, yet it's so terrifying?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.

In the past, he had seen many Lords, but they were all very polite, and he had never truly felt the power of a Lord.

And today, he finally witnessed the power of the strongest beings in the world.

It must be noted that in terms of spiritual strength and willpower, Wu Yuan was no less than the peak experts of the Star Lord, yet he was still affected by this.

Immediately.

Wu Yuan began to ponder what the Black Demon Lord had just said, the path of Origin? Inducing resonance?

"Ancestral Tower mark bearer? Ancestral Tower, this is exactly the same as the title of the First Spirit back then." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Could it be that someone like me, who has a projection of the Ancestral Tower appearing in the lower dantian palace, is considered an Ancestral Tower mark bearer?"

"The path of Origin... what is it? Is it related to the Ancestral Tower?"

"Is the Black Demon Lord also an Ancestral Tower mark bearer? But he possesses treasures like the Origin Pillars and the Black Demon Star, it seems more than me, yet he still fell."

"Being a pawn for others? Does it refer to the Daoist?" Wu Yuan felt too confused.

All waiting for him to explore.

What exactly does the Black Tower, or the Ancestral Tower, represent? What is the ultimate goal?

"The Black Demon Lord just said he would give me something. What is it, and where is it?" Wu Yuan looked around.

But there was nothing.

Suddenly.

"Hum~" An invisible force enveloped Wu Yuan, this formidable force made Wu Yuan's mana resistance futile, and he disappeared in an instant.

...

As Wu Yuan experienced everything in the Black Demon Hall.

In the core area of the Snowlight Mist Realm, on a vast glacier.

"This Mingjian, after searching for so many Star Lords, why hasn't he come to find me after so many days?" Ancient Shouxing sat cross-legged on the glacier.

Back then, he personally killed Mingjian's avatar.

In theory, if seeking revenge, Mingjian should come to find him, and their karmic ties should be the deepest.

"Perhaps he thinks he can't beat me." Ancient Shouxing snorted coldly. "Cowardly guy."

Other Star Lords nowadays are reluctant to provoke Mingjian.

But Ancient Shouxing is not afraid. He is a peak expert among the Star Lords and is proficient in the Dao of Space.

Suddenly.

"The Black Demon Blood Cave, the inheritance is open, prepare to enter." A cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"What, the Black Demon Blood Cave? Isn't that the treasure left behind by the Black Demon Lord?" 

"But the Black Demon Lord has long since fallen, why would an inheritance suddenly appear and summon me? Is it a trap?" Ancient Shouxing was surprised at first.

Immediately he felt an invisible force enveloping him, instinctively wanting to break into the spatial turbulence layer and break free from the restraint.

"Whoosh!" This force suddenly intensified, forcibly restraining him just as he was about to escape into the spatial turbulence layer.

Hum!

Ancient Shouxing disappeared instantly.

"Report to the Star Lord immediately! Immediately." Ancient Shouxing's true body, located far away in the headquarters of the Hundred Profound Palace, began to report in shock.

...

Almost at the same time, within the entire range of the Snowlight Mist Realm, all the Celestials and Divine Beings encountered similar events like Ancient Shouxing.

Whether they were powerful peak Star Lords or weaker Celestials and Divine Beings, all received the notification.

Subsequently, regardless of whether they were willing or not, the terrifying forces descended upon them simultaneously, teleporting them away.

It was like a massive-scale arrest operation, and none of the Celestials and Divine Beings in the Snowlight Mist Realm could escape.

Revealing the terrifying power contained within the Black Demon Blood Cave.

Even many Celestials and Divine Beings who were in fierce battles were instantly teleported away.

Yet the countless Immortals and Gods in the Snowlight Mist Realm were unaffected.

How many Celestials and Divine Beings were teleported away in that instant?

This strange event naturally spread at an astonishing speed within the nine major powers of the Dao Realm.

Perhaps, in the vast river of time and space, the reputation of the Black Demon Lord is not that great. After all, he was just a Lord and not a Master.

But in the realm of time and space, the Black Demon Lord is very special.

He was once recognized as the number one Lord in the Dao Realm.

He even waged war against many Lords at the same time and held the upper hand.

Although he has fallen, his legend lives on.

If the inheritance he left behind were to appear, it would naturally attract a lot of attention.

...

The Black Demon Blood Cave, seemingly hidden within the Snowlight Mist Realm, but in reality, the Blood Cave was specially created by the Black Demon Lord. Internally, it contains boundless expanses of heaven and earth.

Within the vast expanse of the world, one vast world after another was opened up, each world no less than a fairyland, and even broader.

With a large number of worlds accumulated, the total territory far surpassed that of a fairyland.

These worlds, referred to collectively as the "Demon Realm" by countless beings within the Black Demon Blood Cave, have nurtured countless creatures. Among these creatures, many powerful individuals have been born, including a vast number of Celestials and Divine Beings.

These powerful individuals cannot leave the Demon Realm, nor can they leave the Black Demon Blood Cave.

They have always lived in the Demon Realm.

And today, countless powerful beings in the entire Demon Realm received guidance from the will of the entire Demon Realm at the same moment: "Demon Lord's inheritance, whoever obtains it can control the entire Demon Realm."

In an instant, countless powerful beings from various worlds in the Demon Realm boiled with excitement.

For the Immortals and Gods in the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm might be vast enough to explore for a lifetime.

But for the Star Lords, whose lifespan is almost eternal, and who stand at the peak of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm is too small.

"Demon Lord! The inheritance of the Demon Lord."

"It is said that the Demon Lord once fought in the worlds beyond, never to return, and never summoned our Demon Realm army again."

"This is our opportunity, a chance to transcend the Demon Realm."

"Yes! A chance to surpass Celestials and Divine Beings." Countless powerful beings in the Demon Realm were extremely excited and thrilled.

Legend has it that the Demon Lord created heaven and earth, opening up the entire Demon Realm.

He was the progenitor of ten thousand demons.

However, over the long years, some of the super strong beings born in the Demon Realm in its early days have long been summoned away.

The birth of powerful beings depends on the environment and conditions.

Although the worlds within the Black Demon Blood Cave are vast, they lack great opportunities, competition, and guidance from even stronger individuals. Therefore, since the fall of the Black Demon Lord billions of years ago, many Star Lords have been born, but no Star Kings.

Now.

For countless powerful beings in the entire Demon Realm, their opportunity has arrived. If they can obtain the Demon Lord's inheritance, they can naturally ascend in one step.

And even leave the Demon Realm to explore the vast world outside.

"Let's go."

"Let's venture out. I don't want to be trapped in the Demon Realm anymore. The Demon Realm is too small, like a small pond. Only by going outside can we find eternal ways."

Unlike the Celestials and Divine Beings in the Snowlight Mist Realm who were forcibly taken away, the powerful beings in the Demon Realm still have the freedom to choose.

They can choose to venture out or not.

However.

After weighing the pros and cons, in many worlds of the Demon Realm, more than half of the Star Lords and more than thirty percent of the Celestials and Divine Beings chose to venture out.

When opportunities arise, it becomes a moment of choice.

...

Being teleported by invisible forces, leaving the Black Demon Hall, Wu Yuan felt himself trapped in a void.

It was dark all around, with no exit in sight.

"Where is this? Why am I brought here?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.

Although the events in the Snowlight Mist Realm had spread to the Time-Space Island, only Celestials and Divine Beings were teleported in, and not Time-Space Island markers. Therefore, the impact of this event on the Time-Space Island was not significant.

And both Wu Yuan's physical body and his avatar were in the Black Demon Blood Cave.

Upon entering the Black Demon Blood Cave, Wu Yuan realized that his connection to the Time-Space Immortal Realm had been cut off.

Although the two avatars were connected to each other, Wu Yuan's physical body could not immediately know about the events on the Time-Space Island.

Therefore, Wu Yuan was temporarily unaware of the external situation.

Although trapped in this void, there was no immediate danger, so Wu Yuan naturally would not easily use "Nine Heavens, One Thought," but patiently waited.

Another day passed.

"Whoosh!"

Another surge of invisible force enveloped Wu Yuan, and he felt the surrounding space shift, finding himself in a vast world.

An endless expanse of ice fields.

"So many people." Wu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was shocked to be transported to this world, he found that there were at least tens of thousands of Celestials and Divine Beings densely packed on this vast wilderness.

The number was terrifying!

Many Celestials and Divine Beings were either gathered in small groups or stationed alone.

"So many Celestials and Divine Beings?" Wu Yuan was astonished, sensing something amiss. "It seems there isn't even one Immortal or God."

Moreover, among the tens of thousands of Celestials and Divine Beings on the wilderness.

Wu Yuan could easily sense that there were at least several hundred individuals who posed a significant threat to him.

At least they were Star Lord-level existences.

So many Star Lords?

"Black Demon Lord said that if I have enough strength, I can get what he left behind. Otherwise, even if I perish, it won't matter," Wu Yuan muttered to himself. "But, why am I sent here?"

Where did so many Celestials and Divine Beings come from?

And Wu Yuan could perceive that many of the strong individuals here seemed to exude a strong smell of blood.

They all seemed quite formidable.

"The spatial blockade has become even stronger," Wu Yuan found that the spatial oppression was more terrifying when he attempted to break through to the chaotic spatial layer.

Unable to break through to the chaotic spatial layer meant that Wu Yuan's ability to save himself was greatly diminished.

If he were to be surrounded, it would become very dangerous.

Of course, apart from the ridiculously strong spatial oppression, in other aspects, the vast wilderness of millions of miles was almost the same as the outside world.

"Immortals?"

"An Immortal has come?"

"He is who?"

"I haven't seen him before. In this generation of the Demon Realm, the formidable Immortals who can rival Celestials and Divine Beings, there should be none." Wu Yuan was surrounded by at least hundreds of Celestials and Divine Beings who all noticed his presence.

If they were Celestials, they would not be surprised.

But Immortals? They were shocked and puzzled, wondering how an Immortal could appear here? Where did he come from?

"It's Mingjian."

"It seems to be him."

"He's a Time-Space Island marker, but he's only an Immortal. How could he be transported to the Black Demon Blood Cave?" A very small number of Celestials and Divine Beings quickly recognized Wu Yuan.

They were all Celestials and Divine Beings who were directly teleported from the Snowlight Mist Realm.

A person's name spreads far and wide.

Wu Yuan's reputation was immense in the nine major powers of the Dao Realm, especially in the Snowlight Mist Realm, where he was considered extremely formidable, forged from the blood of countless Immortals and Gods, naturally attracting attention.

Whoosh!

A figure in a snowy white robe flashed by and appeared about ten thousand miles away from Wu Yuan.

Ten thousand miles was a distance that allowed Celestials and Divine Beings to communicate with each other with relative confidence.

"Liyun Immortal?" Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise.

He didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance.

Hundreds of years ago, Wu Yuan had fought against Liyun Immortal in the Snowlight Mist Realm, and he had the upper hand at the time.

In the end, Liyun Immortal paid the price of five hundred thousand divine crystals to resolve the cause and effect between them.

"Mingjian Daoist friend, I didn't expect to meet you here in the Black Demon Blood Cave. It's truly fortunate," Liyun Immortal's appearance was extremely beautiful, and her demeanor was extraordinary. She transmitted her voice to Wu Yuan.

"In the Black Demon Blood Cave? Liyun Immortal knows that this place is the Black Demon Blood Cave?" Wu Yuan was secretly surprised.

He was also quite puzzled. How could Liyun Immortal be here? Could it be that she has the Black Demon Pillar?

"Mingjian Daoist friend, I'm curious, how did you, an Immortal, get transported here?" Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice.

"Why can't I come in?" Wu Yuan directly countered.

Now it was Liyun Immortal's turn to be stunned.

She thought for a moment, seeming to understand, "Mingjian Daoist friend possesses the Black Demon Star. Could it be that you came here alone through the spatial coordinates of the Black Demon Pillar?"

"That makes sense! You must have received news of the emergence of the Demon Cave and rushed over."

"After all, if someone completely obtains the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord, the value of the Black Demon Star will greatly diminish."

ps: Guaranteed two-in-one completion

May Summary:

May ended, and this month my physical condition was indeed very poor. In the middle of the month, I had a fever once, and before it completely subsided, I had another one directly. I had a high fever for several consecutive days, received injections for several days, and it took eight days to recover. Coupled with some miscellaneous matters, it really exhausted my mind, so I could only update slowly and calm down first.

In May, I updated about 220,000 words in total, not bad.

So far, I still owe four chapters from the sick period. I also need to add two chapters for the May bonus chapters. In total, I owe 35 chapters, and I will strive to complete them in the first ten days of June.

Yes, that's right, I'll try to complete these 35 chapters within ten days.

This book is planned to be written until December of this year. If delayed, it should be until January of next year, which is 7-8 months in total. The total planned word count is around 4.5 million words. As long as there are no illnesses or similar issues, this plan should not have too much fluctuation.

The current subscription is close to 30,000, but I still need the final push.

I still have a bit of a cough now, but it doesn't affect me too much. I will strive to have a burst of updates for the month of June and try to catch up on all the debts from May.

Still writing, there should be an update after twelve o'clock.

Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 434 Bloody Massacre (Two Additional Chapters Requesting Guaranteed Monthly Votes)

Wu Yuan was full of confusion and quite shocked. The inheritance of the Black Demon Lord? How did the other party know about it?

At the same time, in an instant, Wu Yuan judged that something must have happened during the two days he entered the Black Demon Blood Cavern.

Simultaneously, Wu Yuan could perceive his uniqueness. In this vast wilderness, there were tens of thousands of Immortals and deities, but only he was an Immortal.

It was imaginable that there would be many people noticing him.

"Are they all looking at me?" Wu Yuan glanced around, and many Immortals and deities nearby were occasionally looking at him.

It was like a sheep suddenly entering a group of jackals, naturally attracting attention.

So.

Wu Yuan did not refute Liyun Immortal's words. If the other party could come up with a reason, he didn't need to explain himself further.

"Mingjian Daoist friend, our past karma has been resolved. In this test of the Black Demon Lord's inheritance, there are too many strong beings from the Demon Realm. Over ninety percent of them are from the Demon Realm. If we fight alone, it will be too dangerous. What about us joining forces?" Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice.

"Demon Realm strong beings? What Demon Realm?" Wu Yuan's heart moved.

He glanced at the large number of Immortals and deities around him.

He felt that their attire and aura were indeed different from the Immortals and deities he had encountered before in the Dao Realm.

"Could it be that these Demon Realm strong beings will all join forces?" Wu Yuan transmitted his voice, "What benefits do I have from teaming up with you?"

In terms of strength, Wu Yuan now far surpassed Liyun Immortal. Adding one or two more helpers wouldn't make much difference.

Upon hearing this, Liyun Immortal showed a hint of smile and transmitted her voice, "Mingjian Daoist friend, you are a symbol bearer from the Time Island. Perhaps you are not familiar with the details of the Black Demon Blood Cavern and not very clear about the Demon Realm."

Wu Yuan listened silently.

"Let me tell you first." Liyun Immortal said, "The Demon Realm is the realm opened up by the Black Demon Lord..."

Quickly.

Wu Yuan understood the situation from Liyun Immortal. The Demon Realm was a world opened up within the Black Demon Blood Cavern, extremely vast, and gave birth to many strong beings.

Back then, when the Black Demon Lord roamed the Dao Realm, a considerable number of his strong beings were selected from the "Black Demon Blood Cavern."

However, later, after the Black Demon Lord fell, the Black Demon Blood Cavern was sealed, and the so-called "Demon Realm" was also cut off from the Dao Realm.

At the same time.

Wu Yuan also roughly understood the current situation from Liyun Immortal.

"Nowadays, the nine major forces of the Dao Realm are all organizing intelligence." Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice, "I am a strong being from the Suspended Moon Palace. According to the intelligence in our palace, there are a total of fifty-five test sites like our Icefield."

"Fifty-five?" Wu Yuan was surprised.

In a test site like this, there were tens of thousands of Immortals and deities, which meant there were hundreds of thousands of Immortals and deities?

That's a lot!

"The Immortals and deities from the Snow, Light, and Mist Realm should have been directly transported into the Black Demon Blood Cavern. According to calculations, there should be two to three million Immortals and deities." Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice, "The rest are all Demon Realm strong beings."

"According to calculations, the entire Demon Realm should have over a million Immortals and deities." Liyun Immortal said.

"So many?" Wu Yuan was astonished.

But then he understood. As Liyun Immortal had just said, the territory of the entire Demon Realm surpassed a star domain in the Dao Realm.

In the Dao Realm, a star domain could normally give birth to tens of thousands of Immortals and deities.

"I wonder if there are Star Sovereign-level beings in this so-called Demon Realm." If there were Star Sovereign-level beings, slaughtering thousands of Immortals and deities would be easy for a Star Sovereign.

"We few strong beings who were moved from the Dao Realm are a minority. Although there were immediately Immortals and deities entering the Snow, Light, and Mist Realm later, they had no chance to enter the Black Demon Blood Cavern again."

"One Immortal Realm can normally nurture tens of thousands of Immortals and deities," Wu Yuan muttered, "but I wonder if there are Star Sovereign-level beings in this so-called Demon Realm."

If there were Star Sovereign-level beings, slaughtering thousands of Immortals and deities would be easy.

"Our strong beings who were moved from the Dao Realm are few in number. Although there were immediately Immortals and deities entering the Snow, Light, and Mist Realm later, they had no chance to enter the Black Demon Blood Cavern again."

"Even now, we don't know why the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord suddenly opened, but it's definitely a great opportunity."

"In the end, only a very few will be able to contact the inheritance," Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice, "We know nothing about the strong beings of the Demon Realm, but strong beings like me from the Suspended Moon Palace, scattered in dozens of test sites, will try to collect all the information about the Demon Realm strong beings as soon as possible and share it."

"Mingjian Daoist friend."

"If we join forces, not only can we reduce the number of enemies, but I can also provide you with information from the Suspended Moon Palace," Liyun Immortal transmitted her voice, "Your strength is extremely strong, and your talent is high. If you can get my information, your chances of seizing the final inheritance will greatly increase."

Wu Yuan fell into thought.

He had to admit that what Liyun Immortal said made sense. With the suppression of spatial fluctuations, his strength could hardly be considered invincible.

Having fewer enemies was secondary.

The key was the information!

"Liyun Immortal and the others are mostly Law Bodies that were moved here, so they can share information with each other through their counterparts in the outside world," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "And these strong beings from the Demon Realm, many of them know each other and will choose to cooperate."

Wu Yuan himself was at a disadvantage in both respects.

He had neither information nor helpers.

As an Immortal, he was the most conspicuous. It could be said that if real fighting broke out, it would definitely be very dangerous.

Of course.

What Wu Yuan could rely on the most was his own powerful strength. Although there were tens of thousands of Immortals and deities on this plain alone, there were probably few who could surpass him in strength.

Those who could match him were even fewer.

"The only worry is that my mana is insufficient, and I can't sustain a prolonged battle like these Immortals and deities. I have to be careful," Wu Yuan thought cautiously.

Although he didn't know what dangers he would face, being cautious was never wrong.

After less than two seconds of thought.

"Alright, I agree to join forces," Wu Yuan transmitted his voice, "If I have the strength left, I will naturally try my best to protect you."

"But if we encounter tests where we must fight each other, I won't hold back," Wu Yuan transmitted his voice.

"Of course," Liyun Immortal immediately rejoiced, "My goal is to leave alive. I dare not hope to seize the final inheritance."

Know thyself.

Liyun Immortal was forcibly moved here, not by her own request.

She was aware of Wu Yuan's strength, even Star Sovereign pinnacle experts would be overshadowed by him.

Being able to join forces with Wu Yuan naturally greatly increased her chances of survival.

"Let me pass on some of the information I know to you first," Liyun Immortal quickly transmitted information to Wu Yuan.

Both of them had extremely strong spiritual souls, so their communication was very fast.

"So many Star Sovereign-level experts?" Wu Yuan browsed through most of the information about the strong beings on this plain.

A small portion came from other test sites.

Of course, the current information mainly came from the strong beings in the Snow, Light, and Mist Realm.

As for information about the strong beings from the Demon Realm? Even less.

There hadn't been any battles yet, so naturally there wasn't much information.

In the Heavenly Temple of a special dimensional plane.

"You said you found the traces of Mingjian?" a Star Sovereign sat on the throne, looking quite surprised.

"Yes."

"I have temporarily formed an alliance with Mingjian, Your Majesty," Liyun Immortal said respectfully.

"Good."

"This time, with the emergence of the Demon's Lair in the mortal realm, even the strong beings from the Demon Realm have appeared in large numbers. It's the first time in history. The Black Demon Lord's inheritance may really emerge," the Star Sovereign on the throne said in a low voice. "He's the only Immortal... his situation is very special."

"He possesses the Black Demon Star and has extremely high talent. Pay close attention to him," the Star Sovereign on the throne said solemnly. "But remember, try not to offend him too much."

"Yes," Liyun Immortal replied respectfully.

"I never expected Mingjian to be inside as well," the black-robed Star Sovereign on the throne muttered to himself. "It seems I should report this to the Lord."

In reality, in the same icy plain where Wu Yuan was, there were not only strong beings like Liyun Immortal from the Suspended Moon Palace, but also Immortals and deities from other powers in the Dao Realm.

Immortals were just too conspicuous.

And Wu Yuan's reputation was extremely great.

Therefore, among the many forces in the Dao Realm, there was a message being reported: "Mingjian has also appeared in the Black Demon Blood Cavern."

In the Heavenly Realm, within an imposing grand temple at the very core, there were thrones occupied by the pinnacle existences of the Dao Realm.

"On Black Demon's inheritance, after tens of billions of years, its emergence time is really strange."

"And the criteria are also strange."

"Normally, the best candidates for inheritance would either be a Star Sovereign about to become the Lord or a monstrous cultivator who has not yet crossed the tribulation. Why would so many Immortals and deities be chosen?"

"If we hope to pass on our own inheritances and combat techniques before our deaths, who would choose Immortals and deities as successors?"

"It's very strange."

"What was Black Demon thinking before his death?" these Sovereigns all spoke one after another, expressing their perplexities.

With the sudden emergence of the Black Demon Blood Cavern.

Although it seemed to only involve some Immortals and deities.

It immediately alarmed these Sovereigns.

Because it involved the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord!

The Black Demon Lord was once the nightmare of the entire Dao Realm.

It could be said that most of the Sovereigns sitting here had once been enemies of the Black Demon Lord.

If it weren't for the order of the Dao Lord to preserve the Black Demon Blood Cavern after the Dao Lord killed the Black Demon Lord.

These Sovereigns would definitely have joined forces to completely destroy the Black Demon Blood Cavern and erase all traces of the Black Demon Lord to prevent any resurgence.

However.

They dared not disobey the order of the Dao Lord, so they could only watch the Black Demon Blood Cavern exist through the long ages.

But this matter of the Black Demon Lord's inheritance.

So far, in the eyes of these Sovereigns, some signs were very strange.

Sovereigns usually chose geniuses as successors.

For a Sovereign, someone who has reached the level of a Star Sovereign in their understanding of the Dao, like Jiang Huan, Nie Zhen, or Mi Yun, would be considered a 'genius.'

Although these Sovereigns were not the 'strongest geniuses' who directly became Sovereigns after crossing the Ninth Immortal Tribulation.

But when they were young, they all became Star Sovereigns directly.

It was extremely rare for Sovereigns to first cultivate to become Immortals and deities, then slowly cultivate to become Star Sovereigns, and finally become Sovereigns.

Does such an example exist? Yes, but it's extremely rare.

"There's someone very special, that's Mingjian. He's an Immortal, yet he went in." A female Sovereign wearing the Sun and Moon robes suddenly spoke.

Her voice was pleasant, she was the leader of the Suspended Moon Palace, the 'Suspended Moon Sovereign.'

"This Mingjian, in terms of being a monstrous genius, doesn't seem much worse than Zhuo Haiyue at first glance. Could it be a situation similar to Zhuo Haiyue's?"

"He excels in time and space."

"His previous frenzied killings have made some of our Star Sovereigns dissatisfied," the Sovereigns sitting on the throne spoke one after another. They obviously all knew of Wu Yuan's existence.

"In terms of talent alone, he's definitely the most talented in this Black Demon Blood Cavern inheritance."

"Very special."

"Could it be because he possesses the Black Demon Star?" These Sovereigns were somewhat puzzled and extremely cautious.

If the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord were truly obtained by an Immortal or deity, they wouldn't care too much.

But if it were obtained by Mingjian, this extraordinary genius, the situation would be rather delicate.

"Everyone," a indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

Shua! Shua!

All the Sovereigns looked over.

"Lanyan." The Suspended Moon Sovereign spoke. Both of them were female Sovereigns, and they had a very good relationship.

"I still want to remind everyone."

"Mingjian is the 'Lord's Mark Journalist' from the Time and Space Island. Even if he eventually obtains the Black Demon's inheritance, he will sooner or later leave the Dao Realm and won't have too much impact on us," Lanyan Sovereign said slowly. "If you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Black Demon, it's best not to personally take action against Mingjian."

A chill ran through the hearts of many Sovereigns present.

Following in the footsteps of the Black Demon?

The Black Demon Lord was killed by the Dao Lord personally back then, and considering Lanyan Sovereign's special status, the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

"Haha, Lanyan is joking."

"Mingjian doesn't have much to do with us. If he obtains the Black Demon's inheritance, it's actually a good thing."

"Right." The Suspended Moon Sovereign and others all spoke, easing the previously tense atmosphere.

These Sovereigns of the Dao Realm no longer spoke much.

They just quietly awaited the information transmitted from within the Black Demon Blood Cavern.

...

Time passed.

Day by day, more and more Immortals and deities descended, appearing out of thin air in various locations of the icy plains.

It can be imagined that those who arrived later were all strong beings from the Demon Realm.

And the number of strong beings on the entire plain gradually exceeded fifteen thousand.

Of course, not all of them were human beings. In fact, many Immortals and deities came from various races.

But most of the super-strong beings no longer cared about racial differences.

At this moment, beside Wu Yuan, besides Liyun Immortal, there were also more than a dozen Immortals and deities, all from the Suspended Moon Palace.

They all surrounded Wu Yuan as he meditated quietly.

Regarding this, Wu Yuan didn't care either. These Suspended Moon Palace experts didn't even have a Star Master among them. Even if they launched an all-out attack, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.

However.

Wu Yuan also felt puzzled in his heart: "It's been eight days, what exactly does the Black Demon Blood Cavern want to do?"

He meditated quietly.

Suddenly, a vast pressure enveloped millions of miles of the wilderness, causing all the strong beings on the wilderness to sense it.

In the void.

Countless lights converged, forming a figure in black robes, his aura ethereal yet domineering.

It was the Great Demon!

But the aura emitted by the Great Demon at this moment far surpassed the aura he emitted when he first met Wu Yuan.

With his own strength, he easily suppressed tens of thousands of Immortals and deities, as if he were an unparalleled Star Sovereign.

"Is it a projection of will? Or a puppet?" Wu Yuan looked up, secretly shocked.

Regardless of the situation, it's very special.

It also means that the formidable force within the Black Demon Blood Cavern is not something they can resist.

"I am the guardian commander of the Black Demon Blood Cavern, you may call me the Great Demon." The Great Demon's voice was cold, echoing through the heavens and earth.

Everyone listened.

Most of the Immortals and deities who came here were not as knowledgeable about the situation as Wu Yuan.

"Great Demon! According to records, the legendary Great Demon was the first warlord under the Black Demon Lord's command. Is he still alive?" Liyun Immortal said with shocked rumors.

"Warlord under command? Isn't it a spirit?" Wu Yuan was secretly surprised.

In the void.

"This time, the emergence of the Demon Cave represents the imminent emergence of the Sovereign's inheritance. In the end, only one successor will be chosen," the Great Demon's voice was indifferent. "There is only one successor."

"From the outside world, the Sovereign is called the Black Demon."

"From the Demon Realm, the Sovereign is called the Demon Lord."

"No matter where you come from, you should all understand the power of the Sovereign, and the magic of the Sovereign's inheritance will exceed your imagination."

"The Sovereign calls himself 'demonic,' and his successor naturally rises from endless bloodshed and is only qualified to be called 'demonic' after countless killings and the tempering of blood and fire."

"This first test is very simple."

"You will kill each other, and when the number is reduced to half, all fighting will stop. At that time, only those who have killed at least one enemy will qualify for the second test."

"If the number is reduced to half, or if the fighting continues for a quarter of an hour without achieving any kills, all will be erased!"

"Remember."

"The more killings, the better the performance, and the greater the chance of obtaining the final inheritance."

"Kill as much as you want, you have ten breaths to prepare, and after ten breaths, the battle begins." The Great Demon's voice was cold and echoed in the heavens and earth.

His figure also disappeared instantly into the void.

And in the void, there appeared a bloody, incomparably large number - Ten!

Countdown.

On the vast wilderness.

A silence enveloped everything, all the strong beings stared at the bloody number in the void, involuntarily, a wave of killing intent surged in their hearts.

"This number can actually stir the killing desire in the hearts of living beings?" Wu Yuan frowned.

Even he only felt a wave of restlessness in his heart, wanting to vent his anger through madness killings.

There's a fierce beast hidden in the hearts of all living beings.

Most of the time, wise beings will suppress their desires and confine the beast, but at this moment, the bloody numbers in the void seem to be releasing the fierce beast in the hearts of all the strong beings.

"Very cruel rules."

"Is this the selection method of the Demon Lord? Only in the first test, half of the people can be killed?" Wu Yuan muttered.

"No!" Wu Yuan suddenly realized, "Not just killing half, some super-strong beings may kill a large number of Immortals and deities, so some Immortals and deities will definitely not have time to kill enemies and will still be erased."

In an instant.

Wu Yuan judged that in this first test alone, probably seventy to eighty percent of Immortals and deities would be eliminated.

Indeed cruel!

"Those Demon Realm strong beings seem to be deliberately choosing to cooperate." Wu Yuan's gaze swept across all directions.

The Great Demon did not say that cooperation was not allowed.

"Kill!"

"Even if someone like Li Shu Immortal is eliminated, it's just the demise of their avatar, but I am the true self." Wu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

For the sake of survival, one must do their best.

Moreover!

Wu Yuan also remembered what the Great Demon said, 'the more killings, the greater the chance of obtaining the final inheritance.'

For him, who had already obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Sage, if it was just an ordinary Lord's inheritance, it wouldn't be so attractive.

To be precise, the treasure of a Lord, even if it contained many high-grade Taoist artifacts, would hardly bring about a transformative change in Wu Yuan.

But!

The Black Demon Lord, involving the secret of the Ancestral Tower, had tremendous implications, naturally making Wu Yuan extremely eager.

"The secret of the Ancestral Tower, definitely involves the highest existence, that's my first goal."

"Furthermore, if I can really obtain the treasure of the Black Demon Lord, such as obtaining a large number of divine crystals, Taoist artifacts... it will also make my growth smoother." Although Wu Yuan was confident, he didn't dare to say that the Black Demon Lord would definitely bestow the treasure upon him.

So.

He could only do his best within the rules of the test.

...Ten breaths of time passed in an instant.

The number that was originally counting down in the void instantly turned into a bloody character - 'kill'!

Not words.

But Dao inscriptions, allowing Immortals and deities to understand the meaning contained within at a glance.

The intangible coercive force was even more terrifying.

"Kill!"

"Join forces, charge!" The calmness on the vast wilderness was instantly broken.

Tens of thousands of Immortals and deities, or dozens or hundreds of strong beings joined forces, or self-proclaimed powerful individuals, one by one, erupted.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

One by one, the deities expanded their figures by using the Heaven Tier Origin Arts, while the Immortals manipulated their treasures or activated spells, and layer upon layer of domains erupted, like the collapse of heaven and earth.

When a single strong individual erupted, the fluctuations weren't that significant.

But when thousands or tens of thousands of Immortals and deities erupted simultaneously, the violent fluctuations they caused were extremely terrifying.

Fortunately.

The ice field was extremely sturdy, and the space was very stable, able to easily withstand the eruption and slaughter of tens of thousands of Immortals and deities.

"Kill! Die."

"Ice heaven, seal."

"A bunch of trash, all die." Almost as soon as the battle erupted, attacks from all directions swept toward Wu Yuan, Li Shu Immortal, and the other dozen or so Immortals and deities.

Three teams, comprising over a hundred strong beings from the Demon Realm!

It could be said that Wu Yuan's and Li Shu Immortal's team encountered the attacks of more than eighty percent of the surrounding strong beings in an instant.

"Quick, defend."

"Not good." Li Shu Immortal and the other strong beings of the Moon-suspended Palace, one by one, their faces changed.

They each displayed their techniques, intending to defend.

"Everyone wants to kill me?" Wu Yuan understood why their team was the smallest with just over a dozen people.

Unlike other teams, after the Great Demon explained the rules, they often consisted of thirty to fifty strong beings joining forces.

Moreover.

Their team, led by Wu Yuan, didn't even have a single Star Lord.

As for Wu Yuan? On the surface, he appeared to be just an Immortal.

Among these Demon Realm strong beings, an Immortal could erupt with the strength of a fourth or fifth-level Immortal.

"Kill!"

Wu Yuan's figure flickered, instantly transforming into nine illusory bodies, rushing out in all directions.

It was precisely the Sword Domain driven by his avatar, and the "Origin of the Beginning" also erupted instantly.

"Boom~" Numerous immortal swords emitting powerful auras appeared, instantly forming a powerful sword domain, resisting various attacks from all directions.

These seemingly simple two methods caused the faces of many attacking Demon Realm strong beings to change.

As Immortals and deities, their perspectives were extremely high, naturally sensing the terrifying aspects of Wu Yuan's body techniques and domains.

Especially his body techniques.

The nine illusory bodies flickered, avoiding a large number of spell attacks, knowing that over half of the attacks before were aimed at Wu Yuan.

"It's my turn now." Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, and his avatar's mind moved.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Nine life-bound flying swords appeared simultaneously, like nine deadly rays of light, whistling across the sky.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Tear~" Countless blood splattered, with just one encounter, six Immortals and three deities fell.

It was simply a one-sided slaughter.

"Not good!"

"It's a semi-Star Lord level expert, retreat quickly."

"Retreat." Faced with such bloody slaughter, the faces of over a hundred Demon Realm strong beings who were originally besieging Wu Yuan all changed. They realized the terrifying strength of Wu Yuan, far beyond what they could match.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 435: The Greatest Threat (Four More to Secure Monthly Votes)

Three allied teams surrounding us, over a hundred strong beings from the Demon Realm.

Originally, they thought they were targeting soft persimmons, but they ended up kicking an iron plate directly.

"Half-Step Star Lord."

"Can't beat him, retreat." Many strong beings from the Demon Realm retreated in panic. In their eyes, someone who could kill nine Immortals and deities in an instant must have the strength of a half-step Star Lord.

"So terrifying."

"Is this Ming Jian, the most monstrous Immortal in the Dao Realm?" Li Shu Tianxian and others were equally shocked. While they were struggling to defend against attacks, they saw Wu Yuan sweeping away a large group of strong beings.

Too fierce.

It should be noted that among the nine Immortals and deities killed by Wu Yuan, two were estimated to have the strength of Immortal Level Six.

Facing Wu Yuan, they fell with just one strike.

It shows the huge disparity in strength between them!

"Kill!"

Wu Yuan's true body merged with his avatar, using his avatar to activate the Sword Domain for defense, while suppressing and binding various strong beings. His true body used the life-bound flying swords to attack.

Cooperating with each other, they exerted their strength to the highest level.

At this moment, Wu Yuan's thought was simple—kill!

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

The sword light flickered as Wu Yuan activated the nine life-bound flying swords.

The nine sword lights flickered in the Sword Domain, like nine experts proficient in swordsmanship.

"Most of these strong beings from the Demon Realm are below Immortal Level Six, with only a few at the level of Star Lords. It's unnecessary to merge the nine swords into one; scattering them will increase the efficiency of slaughter." Wu Yuan quickly realized this. The overall strength of the Demon Realm strong beings was weak.

There were fewer Star Lord-level experts.

This probability was lower than that of the strong beings in the Dao Realm, where external Star Lord experts could account for half.

In fact, only one Star Lord-level expert could be born among hundreds of ordinary Immortals and deities.

It's just that Star Lords have a longer lifespan, while ordinary Immortals and deities can live for up to a billion years at most, which makes the proportion not seem so disparate.

The overall strength of the Demon Realm strong beings was weaker.

"Is there no guidance for strong beings in the Demon Realm?" Wu Yuan speculated.

Among practitioners with similar talents, whether there is guidance or not will ultimately lead to completely different achievements.

But Wu Yuan didn't bother to delve into it.

At this moment, the weaker the Immortals and deities on the wasteland, the more advantageous it was for Wu Yuan.

There weren't many strong beings who could withstand his sword.

In fact, because he appeared too strong, many strong beings avoided him and fled.

"Pfft!"

"Splatter~" In less than two breaths, accompanied by the dancing sword light, over thirty strong beings from the Demon Realm fell to Wu Yuan's hands.

"Escape."

"Such a cruel Immortal."

"Where did he come from?"

"Can an Immortal be this strong? When did our Demon Realm produce such a monstrous Immortal?"

"Is he a peerless monster from the outside world?" Nearly a thousand Immortals and deities in the surrounding area of tens of millions of miles almost all noticed Wu Yuan's crazy slaughter.

Too abnormal!

You know, the many Immortals and deities who came here have varying strengths, but in such a melee, most of them choose to cooperate in advance and retreat, theoretically able to fight top-notch experts.

But even if they choose to cooperate, they are still slaughtered by Wu Yuan.

Because.

With the Sword Domain suppressing and the Moonlight Shadow displayed, Wu Yuan is not afraid of being surrounded at all, naturally displaying extreme dominance.

Even.

A Star Lord powerhouse, facing Wu Yuan without retreating, actively engaged in battle, only managed to block three swords before being killed by a joint attack of several sword lights.

"Half-Step Star Lord!! Absolutely no mistake!"

"His swordsmanship is so mysterious."

"He's just an Immortal, but his comprehension of the Dao has definitely reached the level of a Star Lord." Many strong beings from the Demon Realm have acknowledged this.

In fact, Wu Yuan's strongest attack power is still somewhat inferior to that of a half-step Star Lord.

But his super-strong body technique, combined with the coordination between his true body and avatar, makes his killing efficiency not inferior to that of a half-step Star Lord powerhouse, and even higher.

He could be said to be the most dazzling existence on the entire wasteland.

Wherever he goes, he sweeps everything, and the teams of strong beings from the Demon Realm that were originally united together can only scatter and flee in the face of Wu Yuan.

"Kill!"

"Quickly, kill, this is our chance." Li Shu Tianxian and the more than ten other strong beings from the Floating Moon Palace followed behind Wu Yuan, feeling extremely joyful.

Normally.

In such a chaotic battle, where many strong beings join forces, it's difficult to instantly kill enemies. But Wu Yuan is too brutal, directly dispersing one team after another, giving Li Shu Tianxian and the others an opportunity.

Quickly.

There were Immortals and deities falling into the hands of Li Shu Tianxian and the others.

Wu Yuan didn't deliberately help them, but for them, having Wu Yuan ahead of them as a deterrent was the greatest help.

"Escape."

"Preserve our lives first." Many strong beings initially tried to kill, but soon realized that they had to choose to preserve their lives first.

However, some especially powerful ones fought incredibly fiercely in order to seize the final inheritance.

Wu Yuan was one of them.

On the entire icy battlefield, there were also other powerful beings, among whom was a terrifyingly strong Black Armor Celestial Deity wielding nine war blades, sweeping across a large area.

"Kill!"

"Die!" This Black Armor Celestial Deity roared angrily, his blade radiance flickering, sending Immortals and deities flying or even killing them with every strike.

"It's Ding Lie, the Star Lord."

"Ding Lie, it's him."

"Quick, run." Many strong beings from the Demon Realm changed their faces drastically, avoiding confrontation and retreating, not daring to resist.

The Demon Realm is vast, and throughout the long years, Star Lord-level experts have not been born. The half-step Star Lord level is the pinnacle, extremely rare.

Normally, the strength of an Immortal at Level Nine is the peak, each one is famous and commands vast territories in the Demon Realm.

Ding Lie, the Star Lord, is an extremely terrifying Celestial Deity.

"A mere Immortal at Level Six dares to be so arrogant." Ding Lie, the Star Lord, slaughtered a large area and targeted Li Shu Tianxian and the others.

His figure was tall, striding forward, killing his way over.

"Not good."

"Such a strong Celestial Deity." The faces of the more than ten strong beings from the Floating Moon Palace changed drastically, especially the two leading Immortals.

Unable to dodge, they were directly killed by two slashes.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" A series of clashes between the blade light and the spells and treasures controlled by Li Shu Tianxian and the others were all swept away by the blade light.

"At the peak of Star Lord."

"This is the top powerhouse of the Demon Realm." Li Shu Tianxian and their faces changed. Such a powerful existence is not something they can contend with.

But Ding Lie, the Star Lord, was terrifyingly fast, quickly closing in.

"Li Shu."

"Retreat!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, followed by an overwhelming barrage of sword light bombarding towards Ding Lie, the Star Lord.

It's Wu Yuan!

Boom!

Wu Yuan noticed Li Shu Tianxian's peril and immediately moved like a phantom, rushing over to attack.

"Thank you."

"Quickly retreat." Li Shu Tianxian immediately led the surviving Floating Moon Palace strong beings, quickly flying back.

Half of them had already achieved some victories in battle, and they had also recognized reality. At this moment, their main priority was to preserve their lives.

This is also the norm.

Many Immortals at Level Five or Six usually think their own strength is quite good. However, when thousands of Immortals and deities gather, they can realize that their own strength is insufficient.

When a large number of Immortals and deities gather, only those at the pinnacle of the Star Lord level have the qualifications to rampage and kill.

Ordinary Star Lords won't do!

"Immortal? Die!" Ding Lie, the Star Lord, roared lowly. His huge figure was endless, but it didn't affect his agility at all. Like a nimble butterfly, he killed towards Wu Yuan.

"Nine-fold Heavenly Deity?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold. He had encountered opponents like this before.

Naturally, he wasn't afraid.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the 81 lower-grade immortal treasures flying swords as the core, the Sword Domain instantly covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, completely enveloping Ding Lie, the Star Lord. Invisible pressure surged towards him from all directions.

"Dare to oppress me with this kind of domain?" Ding Lie, the Star Lord, was extremely arrogant, roaring furiously.

Having cultivated in the Demon Realm for billions of years, he used to be a top powerhouse, dominating one side. Not many people could make him bow his head, so naturally, he was full of pride.

Even after seeing Wu Yuan killing all around before, he still believed he could fight.

Although the multiple layers of sword light formed by the Sword Domain bound him and reduced his speed, in reality, it was difficult to harm him.

"Nine Swords!"

"Combine!" With a thought from Wu Yuan's true body, the nine flying swords that were originally flying and killing instantly merged to form a layer of sword formation, the Divine Sword of Time and Space.

Whoosh!

The Divine Sword of Time and Space condensed and directly unleashed the "Nine Swords of Time and Space," slashing through the heavens and earth like lightning, striking Ding Lie, the Star Lord's towering figure.

Too fast.

So fast that Ding Lie, the Star Lord, couldn't even dodge, his face filled with shock and anger.

"Boom!" The terrifying impact contained in the Divine Sword of Time and Space instantly forced Ding Lie, the Star Lord, to retreat backwards.

...

The battle on the icy plain was extremely fierce, with Immortals and deities falling one after another.

As time passed.

The most dazzling on the entire icy plain, without a doubt, was the collision between Wu Yuan and Ding Lie, the Star Lord.

Both sides were fighting with all their might!

In terms of basic strength, Ding Lie, the Star Lord, who erupted with all his might, was naturally stronger. With just a casual slash, he could trigger stable spatial vibrations.

But Wu Yuan's swordsmanship was too exquisite, too unpredictable. The Divine Sword of Time and Space, condensed with the nine flying swords of his true body, was unparalleled in power.

He forced Ding Lie, the Star Lord, to retreat step by step.

"Boom!"

"No!"

Even in the midst of their fierce battle, the shockwaves of their fight alone caused a celestial being to fall in astonishment.

"Quick, escape."

"Don't get too close." Many celestial beings and deities dared not approach the battlefield formed by the two.

"How can they be so strong?"

"Immortals can be powerful to this extent?" Ding Lie, the Star Lord, became increasingly shocked as he fought. With his long years of cultivation, he had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

Little did he know.

Wu Yuan's swordsmanship, even compared to many top talents who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the Great Realm, was not inferior in the slightest.

If compared among peers, after experiencing a millennium of tempering, throughout the long river of time and space, Wu Yuan was already the most outstanding genius.

The Demon Realm where Ding Lie, the Star Lord, grew up, was actually just the size of a fairyland. What kind of genius could there be?

How could they compare to Wu Yuan?

"Even faster! Faster!" Wu Yuan's true body and law body cooperated, treating Ding Lie, the Star Lord, as a sandbag, constantly honing and trying to understand his swordsmanship.

After struggling several times, Ding Lie, the Star Lord, found that he was completely not Wu Yuan's opponent and could only defend with all his might.

Suddenly.

"Buzz~" An invisible pressure enveloped the entire world, and the previously raging battle on the ice field fell silent, and everyone stopped.

Even Wu Yuan and Ding Lie, the Star Lord, who were fighting, felt a powerful binding force descending upon them.

They had to stop.

"Just over twenty breaths, and more than half are dead or injured?" Wu Yuan's thoughts swept through the void, and he roughly understood the general situation.

Not even a quarter of an hour had passed.

With so many powerhouses crowded in such a small space, fighting desperately like this.

In just a short while, the original more than ten thousand celestial beings and deities were reduced to less than eight thousand.

As for Li Shu Tianxian and the others, a total of sixteen celestial beings and deities, eleven survived.

This could be considered a relatively high survival rate for a team.

"First of all, congratulations on surviving." A cold voice sounded.

Whoosh~ Countless rays of light converged, and the Great Demon once again appeared in the void, overlooking everyone.

A silence fell.

"However, many of you have no record of killing enemies, which disappoints me greatly." The Great Demon shook his head slightly, then a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "So, you don't deserve to live."

"Plunk!"

"Plunk!" Soundlessly, more than three thousand figures on the ice field, their eyes dimmed at the same time, collapsed to the ground, quickly losing their life force.

Their bodies remained, but their spiritual breath dissipated.

Soul annihilation!

"What?"

"Instant annihilation?" The more than four thousand powerhouses still alive on the ice field trembled.

"What a terrifying soul attack, instantly killing thousands of celestial beings and deities?" Wu Yuan was equally shocked.

This scene.

Made the more than four thousand remaining powerhouses realize at the same time.

The test of the Black Demon Lord's inheritance, the elimination and annihilation, was not just talk.

"For the remaining people, congratulations on passing the first test, and you are each granted a Black Demon Order." The Great Demon waved his hand: "Take them."

Whoosh!

In front of the more than four thousand powerhouses, a black token appeared simultaneously.

Faced with the Great Demon's iron-blooded killing, no one dared to question anything and reached out to take them.

Wu Yuan did the same.

His spiritual sense involuntarily probed. The token was completely black, without any words, patterns, or engravings, and it looked like a piece of iron at first glance.

Upon touching it, it felt ice-cold, and there was nothing special about it.

"Black Demon Order?" Wu Yuan secretly pondered. Although he couldn't sense anything unusual, he still carefully kept it.

"Twenty-six people have performed exceptionally well and are qualified to receive the second Black Demon Order," the Great Demon waved his hand again.

Buzz~

This time, under the gaze of thousands of celestial beings and deities, black tokens appeared in front of twenty-six strong individuals.

All of them were powerhouse with a high number of kills, including Wu Yuan and Ding Lie, the Star Lord.

They all reached out to receive them.

"They are all Star Lords."

"They are all peak Star Lords, and there's also that immortal."

"Yes! That immortal is really terrifying, his strength is so formidable." Many demonic realm powerhouses communicated with each other through voice transmission, sincerely acknowledging Wu Yuan's strength.

These demonic realm powerhouses had never seen such a heaven-defying immortal before.

"Three individuals are eligible to receive the third Black Demon Order," the Great Demon continued, waving his hand again.

Swish!

Swish! Swish!

Three more tokens appeared, each in front of Wu Yuan, a red-haired celestial deity, and a white-robed female celestial being.

This time, only these three.

"That immortal."

"And the Red Demon Star Lord."

"I haven't seen that white-robed Star Lord before, she must be a super powerhouse from outside." Many demonic realm powerhouses naturally paid close attention to the three major powerhouses.

Without a doubt!

In this test, the most dazzling and powerful individuals were these three.

"My strength is close to that of a half-step Star Lord." Wu Yuan also glanced at the two figures in the distance. "Their strength is probably not weaker than mine, and their sustained combat power may last longer."

"If it comes to life-and-death struggle, I'm not as good as that red-haired celestial deity and Snowyao Star Lord." Wu Yuan made a judgment in his mind.

The red-haired celestial deity came from the demonic realm, so Wu Yuan didn't know his name, just remembered his spiritual aura.

As for the white-robed female celestial being, Wu Yuan recognized her. Her name was Snowyao Celestial, a very famous Star Lord.

Wu Yuan admitted that he was not as good as the red-haired celestial deity and Snowyao Star Lord.

But in reality.

"An immortal whose strength is on par with mine? His agility is even more terrifying." The Red Demon Star Lord, who also received three Black Demon Orders, felt immense pressure.

"He truly deserves the title of the Ming Sword, the legendary monstrous genius." Snowyao Star Lord felt the same way. She had heard of the Ming Sword before, but this was the first time she had truly encountered him.

Such a huge gap in basic strength, yet comparable strength indicated that Wu Yuan surpassed them in many other aspects.

Competing for the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord against such monstrous geniuses?

Just thinking about it put immense pressure on them.

"Remember the function of the Black Demon Order."

"With five Black Demon Orders, you have the qualification to leave alive." The voice of the Great Demon resounded through the heavens and earth again: "When you have obtained twelve Black Demon Orders, you will have the qualification to go to the final test."

"However, the next tests will become increasingly difficult, so show your potential and strength as soon as possible to obtain more Black Demon Orders, otherwise, you will inevitably fall under the numerous tests sooner or later."

"You have half an hour."

"Half an hour later, the second test will begin." The Great Demon's voice remained indifferent.

He disappeared again.

Whoosh~ In the sky and earth, a large number of mysterious raindrops began to appear, countless drops of rain fell on the bodies of many celestial beings and deities.

"Hmm?"

"My mana is quickly recovering."

"Mine too." Soon many celestial beings and deities were shocked to find that these falling raindrops could quickly restore their mana.

Instantly.

Almost everyone sat down cross-legged to begin restoring their mana, including Wu Yuan and Li Shu Celestial.

"Just now, after dozens of exchanges, the mana consumption of other celestial beings and deities is probably less than ten percent, but mine has exceeded fifty percent," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

Being only a newly ascended immortal, his mana was indeed too weak, which was his biggest disadvantage.

Difficult to sustain prolonged battles.

With massive mana consumption, Wu Yuan naturally devoted all his efforts to assimilating these mysterious raindrops, striving to maintain his peak combat power.

"As long as I have twelve Black Demon Orders, I'll be eligible to enter the final test?" Wu Yuan pondered.

In the first test, he performed among the best but only received three Black Demon Orders.

"I wonder what the next test will be like," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

While assimilating mana, he made a mental movement and collected a large number of treasures left behind by the many celestial beings and deities that had just been annihilated.

Although some celestial beings and deities coveted them, they didn't dare provoke Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan had proven his strength with practical actions.

"After this first test of slaughter, I've earned quite a lot," Wu Yuan counted slightly.

He had collected treasures from at least a hundred celestial beings and deities, with a total value exceeding thirty million divine crystals.

The efficiency of earning wealth like this was astonishing.

Of course, Wu Yuan understood that such opportunities were very rare, only occurring in places like this monarch's test ground where a large number of celestial beings and deities could be concentrated.

"But!"

"If I want to earn a lot of treasures, I still have to go kill Star Lords." Wu Yuan's eyes swept over the Star Lord-level powerhouses on the ice field.

These Star Lords not only possessed abundant treasures themselves, but most of them had also acquired the wealth of other celestial beings and deities during the previous battle.

Next, as long as he killed one Star Lord, he could harvest at least millions of divine crystals.

"No rush."

"There are still many tests to come, still opportunities." Wu Yuan pondered. He wouldn't mind having more treasures.

The nine primordial flying swords were all only at the level of low-grade immortal artifacts. To evolve them to the level of medium-grade immortal artifacts would require a staggering amount of wealth.

Naturally, Wu Yuan had to seize every opportunity to earn wealth.

...

As time passed, although Wu Yuan's mana consumption was great, it was also quickly assimilated.

Under the effect of those mysterious raindrops, in just a quarter of an hour, both his main body and avatar had fully recovered to their peak.

"Ming Sword friend."

"Fifty-five test locations. This is the information we've gathered about all the strong individuals who have obtained two or more Black Demon Orders," Li Shu Celestial also transmitted the information to Wu Yuan.

"Thank you." Wu Yuan quickly browsed through the information.

Fifty-five test locations, thousands of Star Lord-level powerhouses, and hundreds of peak Star Lords.

Most of them were from the demonic realm and were unfamiliar.

However, Wu Yuan also noticed several 'acquaintances,' such as Ancient Longevity Star Lord.

But.

What Wu Yuan valued most was the three super-powerhouses mentioned in the information, all of whom had displayed half-step Star Lord-level strength.

"Dozens of test locations, combined, probably have nearly a million celestial beings and deities, yet there are only three half-step Star Lord-level powerhouses?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.

A pitifully low probability.

But undoubtedly, these three half-step Star Lord-level powerhouses would pose a huge threat to Wu Yuan.

"The Black Demon Lord's inheritance shouldn't just test strength alone," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "If it's just about strength, there's no need for such trouble."

Insight, potential, whether the comprehended principles are in line with the test, etc., should all be the focus of the inheritance test.

... "Ming Sword!"

"He actually got three Black Demon Orders?"

"His talent is too high, he must be the biggest threat."

As Wu Yuan browsed through the information about other test locations' strong individuals, the information about him was also known to those Dao Realm experts like Ancient Longevity Star Lord through the Temporal Immortal Realm.

Knowing about his performance.

"The only celestial being, his cultivation time must be very short."

"In the history of our demonic realm, such a monstrous talent has never been born! I really don't know how he cultivated."

"He is the biggest threat to us seizing the Demon Lord's inheritance."

"Find an opportunity, join forces to kill him!" Although the demonic realm powerhouses were in different test locations, they had their unique ways of communication.

Therefore, information about Wu Yuan quickly spread.

Even if they didn't know about Wu Yuan's previous situation, just the fact that the 'White-robed Celestial suppressed Ding Lie Star Lord' was enough to make all the demonic realm powerhouses take notice.

Therefore!

Even though most demonic realm powerhouses had never seen Wu Yuan before.

But unanimously, more than eighty percent of the peak Star Lords in the dozens of test locations already regarded Wu Yuan as the biggest threat to seizing the inheritance.

...

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"The second test, teleportation, begins." The cold voice of the Great Demon sounded, followed by invisible fluctuations enveloping them.

Instantly.

Wu Yuan, Li Shu Celestial, Ding Lie Star Lord, and other strong individuals disappeared from the ice field one by one.

Buzz~

Wu Yuan felt the world in front of him change, and he found himself in a completely new world.

"Alchemy furnace?" Wu Yuan saw in the distant void a series of huge alchemy furnaces.

Chapter 436 Wu Yuan's Dilemma (Six More Request for Monthly Votes)

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Beside Wu Yuan, dense figures appeared one after another, such as Li Shu Celestial, Red Devil Star Lord, Snow Yao Star Lord, and many other celestial beings and gods.

Over four thousand who passed the first test appeared on this square at the same time.

Like Wu Yuan, the moment they landed, they all looked towards the huge alchemy furnaces in the distant void.

Under the spread of the alchemy furnaces in the void, raging fires burned, seemingly containing extremely strange power.

Tens of thousands of alchemy furnaces formed a huge fan shape, lined up in rows.

"Alchemy furnaces?"

"Are they going to test alchemy?" Thousands of celestial beings and gods were full of doubts, but no one dared to act rashly.

Just as they were puzzled.

Suddenly.

On one side of this large square spanning millions of miles, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Figures began to appear one after another, each exuding powerful aura.

Such powerful fluctuations naturally made Wu Yuan, Red Devil Star Lord, and others involuntarily turn their heads and their faces changed.

"So many people."

"They are all celestial beings and gods."

"Are they from other test locations?" Wu Yuan frowned, while Li Shu Celestial and the others were even more shocked, looking over at once.

Only to see at the end of the square, more than five thousand figures appeared.

"They are from another test location." Li Shu Celestial immediately transmitted to Wu Yuan, "There are several of them who are celestial beings and gods of our Moon Palace. It seems that there will be strong individuals from several test locations undergoing the second test at the same place."

Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily, his gaze swept over the thousands of figures, quickly locking onto some of them.

They were all strong individuals mentioned in Li Shu Celestial's intelligence who had received two or more Black Demon Orders.

"Ancient Longevity Star Lord?" Wu Yuan spotted an old acquaintance, who turned out to be Ancient Longevity Star Lord.

When Wu Yuan saw Ancient Longevity Star Lord, the latter's gaze also fell on Wu Yuan.

The two looked at each other, and Wu Yuan's eyes revealed undisguised killing intent.

Ancient Longevity Star Lord smiled faintly, showing no fear. He also obtained three Black Demon Orders in the first test.

"Red Devil Star Lord is here too."

"And that celestial being! The extraordinary celestial being from the outside world."

"It's their test location." The more than five thousand celestial beings and gods who descended here noticed Wu Yuan's group, searching for powerful presences.

Figures like Wu Yuan, Red Devil Star Lord, and Snow Yao Star Lord, who each obtained three Black Demon Orders, naturally attracted the most attention.

However.

There was an invisible suppression in this world, preventing everyone from taking action, so they were all just vigilant towards each other, keeping a safe distance.

"What is the second test?"

"I don't know."

"Let's be patient." The two teams, totaling nearly ten thousand celestial beings and gods, communicated with each other.

Time passed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In less than ten breaths, three more waves of strong individuals arrived, with each team having at least four to five thousand people.

By now, a total of about eighteen thousand celestial beings and gods from the five major test locations had gathered together.

Causing this super large square to no longer appear sparse.

All the strong individuals are observing each other.

The five teams, totaling over a hundred people who received two Black Demon Orders, each team's number is not fixed.

And the number of people who received three Black Demon Orders is exactly fifteen, among these fifteen widely recognized powerful superiors, Wu Yuan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

He is the only celestial being in the entire square.

"The shortest cultivation time, yet the most top-notch strength."

"The potential is definitely the greatest." Almost all the strong individuals staring at each other subconsciously regard Wu Yuan as the greatest threat.

Suddenly.

"Boom!" A wave of invisible fluctuations enveloped each strong individual, followed by waves of temporal fluctuations. Each strong individual standing on the square was simultaneously teleported away.

They all appeared in front of the alchemy furnaces in the void.

In front of each alchemy furnace, a strong individual appeared, and the moment they appeared.

"Buzz!" "Whoosh!" Only to see, centered around the alchemy furnaces, huge transparent barriers appeared simultaneously within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, completely sealing off this space.

Each strong individual was sealed off in a space with an alchemy furnace.

"What is this?"

"What's going on? Is the second test really about alchemy?" Wu Yuan, Ancient Longevity Star Lord, Red Devil Star Lord, Snow Yao Star Lord, and others became increasingly puzzled, all observing the alchemy furnaces.

"These alchemy furnaces seem to be the most common type, just top-grade spiritual weapons, but the flames are quite overbearing." Wu Yuan silently observed.

Although he knew a lot of information and read many alchemy classics, he had never truly practiced alchemy.

After all, his cultivation time was short, and most of his energy was spent on comprehending the Great Dao. Where would he have time to learn alchemy?

Alchemy, in the mainstream perception of cultivation, is just a minor path.

Just as all the strong individuals were puzzled.

Whoosh! Countless light spots converged, forming a figure in a black robe. His gaze was indifferent as he overlooked everyone.

It was the Great Demon.

"You have all seen the alchemy furnaces in front of you." The Great Demon's voice was cold, "On the path of cultivation, it is said that comprehending the Dao is the foundation. But what exactly is the Dao?"

"The Dao is formless, only when the heavens and earth rotate and all things are born, does the Dao possess unfathomable power, hidden within all things." The Great Demon spoke slowly.

"The Dao is hidden within all things?" Wu Yuan pondered.

All the other celestial beings and gods were listening attentively.

"Many extraordinary geniuses have cultivated into Star Lords or even Lords in a short time, but they are ultimately trapped in the last step and unable to transcend. This is all due to unstable foundations." The Great Demon pointed to the alchemy furnaces, "On the path of cultivation, it is not only about comprehending the Dao, but also about deeply understanding the combination and operation of all things."

"The Dao of alchemy, the Dao of artifacts, and the Dao of talismans, these three are the three methods of countless cultivators' research on the operation of heaven and earth, ultimately forming three kinds of application methods."

"Every supreme existence will have a deep understanding of these three application methods."

"The second test is to test your achievements in the Dao of alchemy, the Dao of artifacts, and the Dao of talismans." The Great Demon spoke slowly.

As soon as these words came out.

Many celestial beings and gods immediately changed their expressions, and Wu Yuan's expression also changed slightly.

"The Dao of alchemy, the Dao of artifacts, and the Dao of talismans?" Wu Yuan felt a bit anxious in his heart, as he hadn't really studied them, akin to being a novice.

"Haha!"

"To actually test these minor paths, my comprehension of the Dao is slow, and after cultivating for millions of years, I am only at the sixth level of Celestial, but over the long years, whether it's the Dao of alchemy or the Dao of artifacts, I have delved deeply into both." Many more celestial beings and gods were quite excited, feeling that their opportunity had come.

This is also normal.

Many celestial beings and gods, after practicing for long years and finding it difficult to progress further in strength, will often study things like alchemy, artifacts, formations, etc., in order to make breakthroughs through cross-referencing.

Many strong individuals do indeed find inspiration from this and continuously progress.

In history, many masters of alchemy, formations, etc., did not deliberately comprehend the laws but gradually became Star Lords or even Lords unconsciously.

It's because alchemy, artifacts, and the like inherently contain the principles of the operation of heaven and earth.

"I know that your strengths are different, and your achievements in alchemy, artifacts, and talismans are also different," the Great Demon overlooks all celestial beings and gods, continuing, "So, the requirements of the test for you are different."

"On your right hand side, there is a 'materials space', where you can find any raw materials you need. If they are not there, they cannot be provided."

"And on your left hand side, there are three Immortal Scrolls, each containing the experiences and insights of Lords about these three paths. Although they are only the first parts, they are considered top-level techniques of alchemy, artifacts, and talismans. You can comprehend, learn, and refer to them."

Wu Yuan, Li Shu Tian Xian, Red Demon Star Lord, and others were all listening.

"The cultivation insights of Lords?"

"It is said that the Black Demon Lord is the number one in the realm of alchemy." Many celestial beings and gods' eyes became fervent as they looked at the three Immortal Scrolls on the left.

For them, it is worth coming here if they can learn this kind of inheritance.

"The paths of alchemy, artifacts, and talismans each have their own requirements. Only when you meet one of these requirements can you continue to the next one," the Great Demon says slowly. "There is no time limit for the second test."

"When you complete all three requirements, you pass the second test."

"The first ten to pass the second test can obtain three Black Demon Orders."

"The eleventh to one hundredth to pass the second test can obtain two Black Demon Orders."

"The one hundred and first to three thousandth to pass the test can obtain one Black Demon Order."

"When the three thousandth participant succeeds, the rest will be eliminated," the Great Demon says indifferently. "Because they didn't get enough Black Demon Orders, so elimination means death!"

Silence fell!

Everyone was shocked. The first test eliminated about two-thirds of the celestial beings and gods, which was ruthless enough.

But this second test, with over eighteen thousand participants, directly eliminates more than eighty percent?

In an instant, everyone felt the pressure.

"Remember!"

"The paths of alchemy, artifacts, and talismans contain the principles of the operation of heaven and earth. Studying them will greatly assist your cultivation and help you receive the final inheritance," the Great Demon says coldly. "Do your best."
