Chapter 393: The Bloody and Ruthless Grand Competition

Although Ye Qingxuan had only just broken through to the seventh rank of Alchemist.

If all the remaining seventh-rank spiritual herbs were used to refine seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

Even if he failed a few times at the start.

Once stabilized, harvesting around ninety-seven seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills should still be no problem.

However, Ye Qingxuan did not wish to stop at seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

He hesitated.

Whether to refine seventh-rank medium or even seventh-rank superior Origin Pills.

Refining seventh-rank medium Origin Pills.

Requires one seventh-rank medium spiritual herb or three seventh-rank inferior spiritual herbs as the main ingredient.

Refining seventh-rank superior Origin Pills.

Only requires his alchemical attainment to rise.

However, his current supply of seventh-rank spiritual herbs was limited.

Those eleven seventh-rank medium spiritual herbs could be used to refine seventh-rank medium Origin Pills.

Even if he refined seventh-rank supreme-grade pills, he would handle it with ease.

Ye Qingxuan had gathered a large quantity of sixth-rank spiritual herbs from across the Qingxuan Cave Heaven to serve as auxiliary ingredients.

He failed three times, losing three seventh-rank inferior spiritual herbs.

Requires one seventh-rank superior spiritual herb or three seventh-rank medium spiritual herbs as the main ingredient.

But his understanding of the Dao and the purity of his spiritual power had already reached the peak of the Void Penetration realm.

If those eleven seventh-rank medium spiritual herbs successfully yielded two seventh-rank medium Origin Pills.

Ye Qingxuan's mind was immersed in alchemy.

The contract between the Green Demon Clan and the Human Race was suddenly cancelled.

Ye Qingxuan still planned to wait until his supply of seventh-rank spiritual herbs was sufficient.

As for refining seventh-rank superior Origin Pills and raising his alchemical attainment to the late seventh-rank.

Using the remaining hundred-plus spiritual herbs to refine seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

Another three years passed.

In the short term, he had no stable source for seventh-rank spiritual herbs.

He successfully refined twenty-three seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

He had refined seventeen seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

It was currently the option with the highest success rate.

Therefore, as long as he was willing to practice freely.

After much deep consideration.

Once he made up his mind.

Each failure cost one seventh-rank inferior spiritual herb.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly sensed.

Ye Qingxuan felt somewhat reluctant again.

Although Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power cultivation was only mid-stage Void Penetration.

It was precisely in the final year of those three years.

Time in the outside world slipped by rapidly, unnoticed.

With the support of the heavenly and earthly forces within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

He activated the cauldron once more and began refining the seventh-rank Origin Pills.

The original restriction preventing Soul Transformation cultivators from attacking those below that realm had vanished.

However, using seventh-rank medium spiritual herbs to refine seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

Ye Qingxuan decided to use the remaining ninety-two seventh-rank inferior spiritual herbs to refine seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills.

Ye Qingxuan had consumed a total of twenty seventh-rank inferior spiritual herbs.

If he failed to refine seventh-rank medium or seventh-rank superior Origin Pills, the loss would be considerable.

Over three years, Ye Qingxuan had consumed twenty-four seventh-rank inferior spiritual herbs.

Ye Qingxuan's proficiency in refining seventh-rank inferior Origin Pills increased.

And at the very moment the restriction contract between the two races was cancelled.

In the first three years.

He should still be able to refine seventh-rank medium and seventh-rank superior Origin Pills without issue.

He should not suffer a loss.

Within the Ninth Demon Domain of the Lower Realm.

Almost at the same time, cultivators of the Xuantian Sect and the Green Demon Clan erupted into an even more fierce battle.

Within the entire Demon Domain, demonic qi surged.

The earth cracked, demonic veins shattered, and strange phenomena filled the sky.

For a time, the Ninth Demon Domain world seemed to turn into a meat grinder.

Countless cultivators perished within it.

Besides that, many cultivators rose amidst the endless corpses.

Time passed.

Unbeknownst to Ye Qingxuan, another year had gone by.

It was also in this year.

The grand competition among the core disciples of the Nascent Soul realm and the direct disciples of the Soul Transformation realm of the Xuantian Sect concluded.

Over a million disciples returned from the Ninth Demon Domain.

Ye Qingxuan received a transmission from Ye Qingxiao and temporarily emerged from seclusion to meet with him.

The moment he saw Ye Qingxiao,

Ye Qingxuan was startled by the overwhelming murderous qi surrounding Ye Qingxiao.

Within this murderous qi, the entanglement of demonic qi could be clearly sensed.

Fortunately, the level of this murderous qi and demonic qi was not high.

Given the purity of Ye Qingxiao's spiritual power, he was fully capable of resisting the erosion of this murderous qi and demonic qi.

It only required a certain amount of time.

There was no need for Ye Qingxiao to deliberately purge it.

His body and spiritual power would spontaneously eliminate this murderous qi and demonic qi.

From Ye Qingxiao,

Ye Qingxuan gained a relatively clear understanding of the process of this grand competition among the core disciples and direct disciples of the sect.

His heart now held a fairly clear picture.

This grand competition,

since the Xuantian Sect had launched the initial offensive,

caught the Qing Demon Clan within the Ninth Demon Domain off guard.

Moreover, for this grand competition, the disciples of the Xuantian Sect were extremely well prepared.

Whereas the Ninth Demon Domain was merely a subordinate world of the Qing Demon Realm.

Facing the sudden and frenzied offensive of the Xuantian Sect,

even with the advantage of home ground, they had no power to resist in the early stages.

It was not until several years later

that the Qing Demon Realm discovered the turmoil in the Ninth Demon Domain.

They dispatched their Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation armies to enter the Ninth Demon Domain for support.

Only then were they barely able to hold back the attacks of the Xuantian Sect disciples.

However, the Ninth Demon Domain was, after all, just a small subordinate world of the Qing Demon Realm.

The ownership of this subordinate world

belonged merely to the Blood Moon Dynasty, a Qing Demon Dynasty within the Qing Demon Realm.

In the Qing Demon Realm,

even the strongest among powers of the Qing Demon Dynasty level were merely experts of the Tribulation Crossing realm.

Their foundation was far less profound than that of the Xuantian Sect.

When the subordinate worlds under their control faced the invasion of the Xuantian Sect,

the first batch of cultivators dispatched by the Blood Moon Dynasty to the lower realm were mostly ordinary cultivators.

They possessed few trump cards for protection.

With the prepared striking the unprepared, the disciples of the Xuantian Sect held a significant advantage.

A vast number of powerful members of the Qing Demon Clan perished at the hands of the Xuantian Sect disciples.

By the time the Blood Moon Dynasty reacted and ordered their cultivators to descend with numerous external trump cards,

it was already too late to turn the tide.

The cultivators of the Blood Moon Dynasty and the natives of the Ninth Demon Domain world were slaughtered on a massive scale by the cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.

Furthermore, due to the great battles between large numbers of Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators,

the entire Ninth Demon Domain world was shattered.

In less than ten years, the entire Demon Domain was left teetering on the brink of collapse.

In the tenth year since the disciples of the Xuantian Sect entered the Demon Domain world,

the extraterrestrial battlefield separating the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Demon Realm underwent a massive change due to the Qing Demon Realm's constant approach.

The high officials of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance and the high officials of the Qing Demon Clan fought endlessly within the extraterrestrial battlefield.

Finally, because the Qing Demon Clan's intent to invade was resolute and negotiations failed,

the cultivators of both realms completely turned against each other, immediately canceling the restrictive contracts previously signed.

The moment the restrictive contract was canceled,

all cultivators of both clans sensed it.

Without the restriction of the contract between the two clans,

the direct disciples of the Xuantian Sect fighting the Qing Demon Clan within the Ninth Demon Domain became even more frenzied.

They began to attack cultivators of the Qing Demon Clan below the Soul Transformation realm.

In an instant, the Ninth Demon Domain was filled with wails of the dying and smoke rising everywhere.

Although the Soul Transformation cultivators of the Qing Demon Clan also resisted, killing many Nascent Soul disciples of the Xuantian Sect,

under the long-prepared offensive of the Xuantian Sect disciples,

the Qing Demon Clan's advance was quickly crushed, forcing them to flee continuously.

With no other choice, the Blood Moon Dynasty abandoned the Ninth Demon Domain world they ruled.

They ceased dispatching cultivators to the lower realm for support.

Ultimately, after nearly two million core and direct disciples of the Xuantian Sect waged war for ten years,

Finally, the vast majority of the Green Demon Clan within Demon Realm No. 9 were slaughtered to extinction.

Just before the world rank of Demon Realm No. 9 plummeted and merged into the Green Demon Realm.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect collectively returned to Di Xuan Realm to submit their Grand Competition data within the sect.

After this battle.

Although the Xuantian Sect disciples held an absolute advantage by catching their enemies off guard.

this was, after all, a great war sweeping through a small thousand-world realm.

Moreover, the Green Demon Empire of the Green Demon Realm provided support from behind the scenes.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect also suffered considerable losses.

Among the core disciples and direct disciples of the entire Xuantian Sect.

fully one-sixth perished.

Yet, during this great battle, the vast majority of Xuantian Sect's disciples reaped rich rewards.

Once they digest these gains.

the combat power of Xuantian Sect's core and direct disciples will make a leap forward.

And Ye Qingxiao, supported by the trump cards given by Ye Qingxuan.

also gained significantly.

Although his cultivation base was slightly weaker, relying on the talismans and nuclear explosion elixirs provided by Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxiao slew not a few Soul Transformation realm members of the Green Demon Clan.

Among the more than three hundred thousand Soul Transformation realm true disciples.

Ye Qingxiao ranked within the top ten thousand.

Although he was not the highest-ranked among the early-stage Soul Transformation disciples.

his ranking surpassed many mid-stage Soul Transformation direct disciples, and even a few late-stage ones.

Moreover.

The gains from this expedition in Demon Realm No. 9, combined with Xuantian Sect's rewards.

made it not difficult for Ye Qingxiao to raise his cultivation base to the late stage, or even the peak, of the Soul Transformation realm in the short term.

This was not difficult.

It is worth mentioning that.

although the plummeting of Demon Realm No. 9's world rank was caused by Xuantian Sect's disciples.

Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm are currently in a state of hostility.

Furthermore, the returning Xuantian Sect disciples offered up numerous corpses of the Green Demon Clan.

Therefore, the negative effects brought by the plummeting world rank of Demon Realm No. 9, such as world curses.

were entirely blocked and shielded by Di Xuan Realm.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect.

except for the unavoidable erosion by demonic energy and the condensation of killing intent they suffered during the great war in the demon realm.

which required some time to recuperate and adjust their own states.

did not suffer any other negative effects brought by the plummeting world rank of Demon Realm No. 9.
