With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Qin Yi's perfect star platform left Zhou Yang, Liang Qi, and the others speechless.

They didn't even dare to look at Qin Yi anymore.

The radiance emanating from Qin Yi made them look like clowns jumping around.

Qin Yi maintained the phenomenon of the Perfect Star Platform for a moment before withdrawing it. He then cupped his hands towards Liao Shanhe but said nothing.

Liao Shanhe nodded, a look of appreciation on his face, and said, "To be able to condense a perfect star platform in a place like the Desolate Ancient Continent is nothing short of a miracle, but you still need to work hard to secure a formal spot in the Starry Sky Palace."

"Only in the Desolate Sky Domain, with its vast天地 (heaven and earth), can you spread your wings and soar more freely!"

Qin Yi replied, "Yes!"

Next, Bai Jing and the others also showcased their own star platforms.

Although the five of them were also Perfect Star Platform cultivators, and their cultivation levels were much higher than Qin Yi's, a strange feeling arose in everyone's hearts.

I always felt that... their star platforms weren't as bright as Qin Yi's...

A total of six people, possessing the Perfect Star Platform, directly received a reward of 100,000 Star Points.

Then, other young people also stepped forward and stood in the second row. These were the people who had condensed the foundation of the Star Platform with 108 acupoints.

Zhou Yang, Liang Qi, and others were among them.

There were more than 170 people in total, of whom 154 were from the Desolate Heaven Domain.

As for those who have condensed the foundation of the seventy-two acupoint star platform, there are more than one hundred and forty people, mainly from the Desolate Heaven Domain.

After all, the vast majority of the young people participating in this inspection came from the Desolate Sky Domain.

Apart from the Desolate Sky Domain, most of the forty-eight continents and the Desolate Sea had only one representative, while only a few regions had two representatives.

Only eleven people managed to condense the weakest foundation, which is thirty-six acupoints. These eleven people did not receive any Star Points as a reward, and the subsequent assessments would begin from scratch.

At this time.

Liao Shanhe raised his hand and waved.

One by one, the beads flew to each young person.

"Keep this bead with you. No matter whether you kill a human scum who has fallen into demonic ways or a demon with mixed human and demon blood, this bead will absorb the demonic energy from the corpse."

Three days later.

"Everyone, come out of the sealed-off Valley of Heartbreak."

"Your scores will be determined by the amount of demonic energy contained in the bead you hold."

"The top one hundred people can officially join the Star Palace."

"The top three will receive additional rewards. As for what those rewards are, we'll tell you once you enter the Starry Sky Palace."

"Of course, if you encounter life-threatening danger, you can crush the bead to signify giving up, and someone will go in and bring you out."

After Liao Shanhe announced the rules.

Qin Yi had already taken the bead that flew in front of him into his hand.

On the surface of the bead are tiny star patterns, all of which are dull and lack luster.

Bai Jing said, "Once you absorb enough demonic energy, you can light up these star patterns one by one. Lighting up one star pattern is worth 10,000 star points."

Qin Yi nodded.

At that moment, he was thinking about something.

If one's own demonic energy is injected into this bead, will it also illuminate the star pattern on the surface of the bead?

Qin Yi only thought about it for a moment before not giving it much thought. After all, his cultivation level was not high at the moment, and although the demonic energy he possessed was pure, the quantity was not large enough. This cheating method would probably not bring much benefit even if his demonic energy was completely drained.

Moreover... once cheating is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.

After announcing the rules, Liao Shanhe gave the group of young people a moment to process them before saying, "If there are no questions, let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Shanhe waved his arm, sealing off the great formation of the Valley of Heartbreak, and suddenly a series of passages appeared.

"Come with me!" Bai Jing glanced at Qin Yi.

The next moment, Bai Jing's figure flew out, chose a passage, and entered the Valley of Heartbreak.

Qin Yi followed closely behind Bai Jing.

Upon entering the great formation, Qin Yi immediately sensed the omnipresent demonic energy.

In his mental world, the hideous golem excitedly waved its arms, emitting roars full of ferocity.

Like a fish in water.

Even Qin Yi felt refreshed all over.

He could even use this strong sense to detect the direction of the demonic energy flow and determine which side had a denser concentration of demonic energy.

Bai Jing is waiting for Qin Yi.

"This is the entrance. There are many people and little meat. Moreover, with more people, there are more backstabbing and intrigue. Sometimes, it's impossible to guard against everything. So, let's go to another place. You can continue to follow me, and I'll take you for a while."

Qin Yi nodded.

Bai Jingfei flew ahead, occasionally spotting traces of demonic cultivators, but she couldn't be bothered with them; she didn't want to waste time on these insignificant creatures.

To Bai Jing's surprise, Qin Yi kept up with her pace without seeming to be struggling.

"Then I need to speed things up," Bai Jing reminded her.

Qin Yi nodded: "Okay!"

Bai Jing's speed instantly increased by 30%.

But Qin Yi still followed steadily behind her.

"You're so fast?" Bai Jing asked in surprise.

Although Qin Yi also displayed extremely fast speed when dealing with Liang Qi, that was a momentary burst of speed, completely different from the current situation.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I guess I'm just naturally faster."

Bai Jing: "Then let's go even faster?"

Qin Yi hummed in agreement: "We can give it a try."

Bai Jing's speed increased by another 50%. Apart from not using any secret techniques to increase her speed, this was already the limit she could reach under normal circumstances.

And she was shocked once again.

Qin Yi was still able to keep up.

Bai Jing's heart was stirred up quite a bit.

She is at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, and she grew up in the Desolate Heaven Domain. The various inheritances she cultivates are the highest level that martial artists at this stage can access.

Qin Yi, who was cultivating at the Tianxing Martial Academy on the Desolate Ancient Continent, was able to keep up with her in terms of speed despite only having the second level of Nirvana Realm cultivation. This was truly unbelievable.

Fifteen minutes later.

Bai Jing stopped.

She landed on the edge of a valley.

She looked at Qin Yi with a meaningful gaze and said, "With your speed, you can escape even if you can't win. It seems I don't need to worry too much."

Qin Yi suddenly gasped for breath, his face flushed, and said, "I'm so tired. Miss Bai is too fast. If we keep going, I won't be able to keep up."

Bai Jing: "..."

Her expression was complicated, and she said softly, "Could you be any more fake?"

Qin Yi immediately changed the subject, staring at the valley in front of him, and asked, "Miss Bai, are there demonic cultivators in this valley?"

In fact, he had already sensed that the demonic energy permeating the valley was extremely dense.

Bai Jing nodded and said, "There should be a big fish here. I'll lead the attack, and you can prepare on the sidelines to deal with any small fry that slip through the net!"

"Okay!" Qin Yi said.

The next moment, Bai Jing took a step forward and rushed into the valley.

Suddenly, a dazzling starlight emanated from her body.

"Whoosh!"

A knife appeared in Bai Jing's hand.

She swung her sword and slashed down!

The starlight transformed into a domineering blade of light, swift and unparalleled, cleaving a massive crack in the valley.

A number of the demonic cultivators hiding in the valley died instantly.

Others screamed as they were thrown over by the shockwaves created by the slashing blades.

"die!"

A furious roar rang out.

A figure shrouded in dense demonic energy shot out. This was a demonic cultivator at the tenth level of the Nirvana Realm. The demonic energy on his body condensed into the form of a ferocious beast, which fiercely pounced on Bai Jing.

Bai Jing protected herself with starlight, gripped a long sword, and with a sweeping motion, cut the ferocious beast formed from condensed demonic energy!

The demonic cultivator at the tenth level of the Nirvana Realm was completely suppressed by Bai Jing.

However, inside the valley, there was a group of demonic cultivators who formed a special formation and launched a combined attack on Bai Jing from a distance.

"There's one more here!"

"Kill him first!"

Several demonic cultivators spotted Qin Yi and charged towards him, roaring.

"Well done!"

Qin Yi's heart was surging with excitement and boundless pride. He took a step forward and instantly rushed in front of these demonic cultivators.

The Tianjun Sword, which had been upgraded to a mid-grade Dao Sword, then unleashed exquisite sword techniques.

Wood Extreme Thousand Entangling Sword!

A dense barrage of sword energy erupted, like countless vines, binding and entangling the demonic cultivators!

A thought crossed my mind.

The supernatural power of moving mountains is activated!

A massive mountain, over a hundred feet high, crashed down!

These demonic cultivators were smashed into a pulp!

"Boom!"

The massive mountain charged toward the demonic cultivators who were forming a combined attack formation to restrain Bai Jing.

They completely shattered their formation!

Qin Yi activated the Shrinking Earth to an Inch Divine Power, stepped on the Formless Starry Sky Step, and rushed into the crowd.

The sword's edge swept across continuously, unleashing a killing intent!

The lives of this group of demonic cultivators were swiftly harvested by Qin Yi, like weeds!
