Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

If the merfolk are skilled in the laws of ice, then the Three Pill Masters are skilled in the laws of alchemy.

This power of law was not born naturally from heaven and earth, but was created by humankind and recognized by the Cangwu Heavenly Dao, thus integrating into the order of the immortal path.

The same applies to the acquired laws of swordsmanship, knife techniques, and other skills that have reached their peak.

Their existence depends on the concept of "Immortal Path," and they are subject to the laws and rules of various natural attributes, yet they are also transcendent and independent, varying in strength depending on the individual.

Among the Twelve Immortal Sects, Tianjian Mountain is home to Tianjianzi, the sixth strongest human in the race. He is a typical example of a powerful figure who has merged the laws of swordsmanship with the laws of metal to reach the pinnacle of the fifth rank.

His talent is extraordinary and transcends worldly concerns! His swordsmanship surpasses the conventional laws of nature.

The Three Pill Dao Lords are clearly below this level.

Although the laws of alchemy he mastered were not weak, they were not strong either. When he actually clashed head-on with the laws of ice, it was a case of the weak defeating the strong.

Ice and fire are mutually exclusive; whoever is stronger will win.

The flames from the hundreds of pills were clearly insufficient. A surging cold wave swept in, freezing cracks in the space itself. The merman wielded his trident.

A cold dragon materialized, clearly a demonic power at the level of a magic spirit.

Unsurprisingly.

The flames were suppressed by the even stronger ice, and the Third Pill Dao Lord vomited a mouthful of black blood mixed with ice shards, flying further and further away like a kite with a broken string.

—We lost!
Defeated due to a lack of combat experience, the human race appeared even weaker and more vulnerable. The merman Han Xiu let out a strange cry and set off in pursuit, attempting to kill this powerful human on the spot.

"I surrender……"

Clearly, verbally admitting defeat won't change either side's murderous intent; this stage is all about who can act faster.

Tian Jianzi, who had a good relationship with him, pointed his fingers into a sword, and a sword beam pierced through the void and slashed towards the merman, intending to kill the demon with his first move.

The Mermaid King was no pushover either, and he had made preparations well in advance.

A beam of icy blue light shot out from between his brows, completely freezing the sword's edge and preventing any external forces from intervening.

With just this slight delay, the Third Pill Dao Lord was pierced through the chest by the trident. Just as the merman excitedly exerted his strength and was about to tear the opponent to pieces, a phoenix cry rang out!
The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Divine Power that Gu Qing had left behind was activated.

Transforming into a phoenix spirit, it protected San Dan and forcibly took him out of the arena formed by the isolated space, transforming him into a large cocoon and entering a state of nirvana.

This scene caused the powerful demon to snort coldly and not continue the pursuit.

Aside from his slightly unpleasant expression, Tianjianzi of the human race didn't say anything shameless; they were all in the same boat.

If the Merman King hadn't been prepared, the Merman Han Xiu would have been killed by him with a single sword strike. Since everyone was prepared, it wouldn't be appropriate to dwell on whose fault it was.

That's just how tradition is.

The merfolk returned victorious, but instead of being complacent, they faced the Merfolk King with an attitude of apology.

"Clan leader..."

"It doesn't matter."

Knowing what he wanted to say, the Mermaid King raised his hand to stop him and gently comforted him.

"Morale has rebounded, and this victory was quite effective."

Even the Heavenly Golden Crocodile didn't say much. After all, when the Eagle Emperor was sacrificed to the flag, the morale of the demon army had plummeted to rock bottom. It was already quite good that they were able to turn the tide.

They wouldn't be satisfied unless Han Xiu killed the other party.

"Let's get ready for the second game."

…………

…………

On the human side, the high morale had dipped slightly, but it wasn't a major problem. Tian Yunzi spoke first. "Change the strategy. Letting San Dan go in the first round is his personal wish, and I will respect that this time. For the sake of the human race's strategy, from now on we must judge by combat strength. Kill if you can!"

"The second round is still a contest between those at the fifth rank. Who will go?"

"Let me do it."

Gu Qing quickly stepped forward. He had long wanted to test the limits of his strength. If he couldn't kill someone of the same level, then all his strength would have been wasted.

Seeing Gu Qing step forward, Gu Zhixuan wanted to stop him. Gu Qing was too young and lacked combat experience, so he thought it would be better for him to go himself.

However, without Feng Xian's support, Gu Qing turned to the remaining fifth-rank mid-level Dao Lord of Taihe Mountain and spoke.

"The Nirvana Technique can ensure the safety of the Three Elixir Pills. Leave the rest to me. I will avenge Taihe."

"This... thank you very much, Lord Gu."

Most of the people present knew that Gu Qing's strength had improved again, but they were still worried about his age, except for Tian Yunzi, who was in charge of coordination and had full confidence in him.

Feng Xian seemed to have a lot of confidence in him, how strange! This isn't the second son!!!

Ignoring what others thought, Gu Qing transformed into a streak of flame and appeared in the isolated space. The Devouring Fire transformed into a jet-black flame spear, pointing directly at the demon race.

"Mermaid, do you dare to fight me?"

Han Xiu had just finished his match when he was unexpectedly called out. He immediately tried to rush into the isolated space, but was stopped by the Mermaid King.

As the Demon Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, his status is self-evident. This competition not only affects the human race, but also signifies a struggle within the demon race.

"Han Xiu has secured the first victory for the Merfolk. It's your turn to make your move."

The familiar intrigue and backstabbing—no wonder they're from the demon race.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Golden Crocodile turned to look at the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness, Lady White Bone. This woman was a Daoist who attained enlightenment through the Yellow Springs Bone, and her true form was white bones.

His subordinates were mainly corpse demons and bone monsters. Upon hearing that their lord was in trouble, a guy wearing a bird bone crown and covered in white bone armor stepped forward from the Ancient Wilderness team.

"Lady White Bone, the Roc Bone Demon is willing to go!"

"Very good, go! Kill this arrogant brat."

The Peng Bone Demon was created from the corpse of a bird with the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc in the Primordial Domain. Its strength was formidable and it was hard to find an opponent, except that it was inferior to the Golden Suanni.

They belong to the first tier, just below the top tier. If they can break through to the fifth rank, they can also rank among the top, a level above the mermaids.

As the Peng Bone Demon suddenly entered the isolated space, the human race's expression changed slightly, and they became even more worried about Gu Qing's safety. The top-level experts were ready to take action at any time.

On the other hand, Gu Qing smiled contemptuously on the battlefield.

"I love eating bone marrow the most. How can you, with your big bones, possibly swallow it?"

"presumptuous!"

The Peng Bone Demon was enraged. Suddenly, a pair of bone wings covered with golden threads sprouted from its back, with a wingspan of several meters. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Gu Qing and threw a punch.

The air was compressed and exploded by tremendous force, revealing a white, staring bird's head, whose sharp cry resounded through the heavens.

Space shattered inch by inch like a ring, and an extremely terrifying physical force pressed down. Gu Qing spoke of his enemy with contempt, but he took his actions very seriously.

The Devouring Fire transformed into a black hole-like shield, swallowing the Peng Bone Demon's entire hand. Its immense strength was rendered useless before being absorbed by the black hole.

A terrifyingly high temperature swept over the area, and the Devouring Flame Spear in Gu Qing's hand suddenly changed its appearance. Only the outermost layer was Devouring Flame, while the essence of the inner structure was the Three Thousand Great Dao Flame.

His right hand was sucked in, and a terrifying azure flame pierced into the Peng Bone Demon's body.

Burn the little bird! (End of Chapter)
