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

The Demon Emperor's son, Wumutu, has perished.

His physical body was reduced to fragments.

Qin Yi casually grabbed a crystal that was shimmering with black light and held it in his hand.

This is a magic core!

In addition, Qin Yi also took Wu Mutu's storage ring.

As the son of the Demon Emperor, Qin Yi must have many demonic treasures in his storage ring, all of which are valuable to him.

"Wu Mutu...is dead..."

Exclamations rang out.

A group of demonic madmen who were following Wu Mutu in chasing Qin Yi stood next to the Sealed Heaven Demon Curtain, unable to get in at all. Of course, they weren't worried about anything.

Originally, it was thought that Wumutu would be able to deal with Qin Yi soon and then take back the Heaven-Sealing Demon Curtain.

But what they saw was the shattering of the Heaven-Sealing Demon Curtain and the destruction of Wu Mutu's physical body.

They were all terrified.

Before they could recover from the immense shock...

The hidden blade sheath hanging above Qin Yi's body changed direction, and a sharp, fierce aura poured out from the sheath, shredding them into clouds of blood mist.

Qin Yi instantly activated the Demon Devouring Heaven and Earth technique, devouring the blood and remnant soul.

At this time.

Feng Yidao from the Starry Sky Palace and Wu Fei from the Martial Alliance charged forward together.

When they saw the magic cores in Qin Yi's hand, their expressions froze.

They were originally there to reinforce Qin Yi.

As it turned out, Qin Yi had already finished fighting...

Even the Demon Emperor's son, who was terrifying to them, was dead, leaving only a demon core, which Qin Yi held in his hand...

Their Adam's apples bobbed up and down.

Then, his gaze fell upon Qin Yi's concealed sword sheath.

Although the Hidden Edge Sword Sheath no longer emits its sharpness at this moment, the area around the mouth of the scabbard still retains a trace of terrifying and sharp aura from the two consecutive bursts of light it had just unleashed.

"This...this is a quasi-sacred artifact?" Wu Fei swallowed hard and asked.

Feng Yidao watched with wide eyes, filled with curiosity.

Wu Fei has a very strong background in the Martial Alliance.

Behind Feng Yidao is the Feng family of the Starry Sky Palace, who possess the title of Feng Zun.

Both of them are very talented, and at such a young age, they are already close to entering the top 300 of the Qingyun Ranking.

According to the rules of the Qingyun Ranking, they all have a chance to enter the top 100 before they are removed from the list at the age of 25.

Even so, they were not qualified to obtain a quasi-sacred artifact.

Both of them were using high-grade Dao artifacts.

Even among the top 100 prodigies on the Qingyun Ranking who have powerful family backgrounds, there are still quite a few who use high-grade Dao artifacts.

Only those ranked within the top 30 of the Azure Cloud Ranking and possessing a powerful family background are equipped with top-grade Dao artifacts.

As for quasi-sacred artifacts...

I wonder if those freaks in the top ten of the Qingyun Ranking are included...

If a quasi-sacred artifact were to fall into the wrong hands, it would undoubtedly cause many powerful individuals at the Boundless Realm level to fight over it, resulting in bloodshed.

As it turns out, Qin Yi, who was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, actually possessed such a treasure.

Qin Yi nodded and said, "My grandma gave it to me."

I'm too lazy to explain any more.

Just push it onto Granny Yin.

As the only remaining one of the nine elders of the Starry Sky Palace's Demon-Observing Hall, Granny Yin holds a transcendent position. What's wrong with her giving a quasi-sacred artifact to her adopted grandson? Isn't that perfectly normal?

Done.

Qin Yi sheathed his Hidden Edge sword.

Feng Yidao: "Junior Brother Qin, it's incredible that you can possess a quasi-saint artifact and even easily activate it. Fortunately, you have such a treasure on you, which allowed you to kill Wumutu and resolve this crisis."

Wu Fei nodded and said, "If it were me, even if you gave me a quasi-saint artifact, it wouldn't be of any use. I simply couldn't control it."

Qin Yi: "..."

"I'm outwardly strong but inwardly weak now."

"But I didn't dare to show it just now, after all, there were demonic madmen all around."

"You two are here. I'm safe now. I can finally stop pretending."

After speaking, Qin Yi's face turned pale, and he appeared very weak.

Feng Yidao and Wu Fei had no doubts.

Qin Yi did look very weak.

His explanation was also reasonable.

Moreover, for someone at the Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation level, activating a quasi-saint artifact without paying a heavy price is simply impossible...

"Fourth brother!"

Huo Gang and Li Zheng arrived together.

Huo Gang rushed to Qin Yi's side and hurriedly asked, "Are you injured again? Where are you hurt?"

Feng Yidao briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Huo Gang immediately carried Qin Yi on his back without saying a word. He said, "Don't say anything more. From now on, your big brother will protect you!"

Li Zheng's expression was complicated, and he remained silent.

He felt the pressure.

My uncle is too fierce.

He always knew that his uncle was cunning, unlike him who was sincere and honest.

But he always felt that if he unleashed his full power, he would still be stronger than his martial uncle.

But now it seems...

I can't compare to my martial uncle anymore!

My martial uncle even possesses a quasi-saint artifact...

What's the point of even comparing these things?!

…………

Since Umutu is dead.

In addition, several elite troops under Wumutu's command also died at Qin Yi's hands.

The remaining demonic thieves suffered a sharp drop in morale and were routed by the Starry Sky Palace, the Martial Alliance, the Demon Clan, and the forces led by the Azure Cloud Pavilion, fleeing in disarray.

However, the forces from these four sides dared not pursue them any further.

They too suffered heavy losses.

A group of people stayed in the place where spirits gathered.

There was absolutely no excitement about surviving this ordeal.

Everyone was in a very heavy mood.

Originally, there were two hundred cultivators from the four factions.

Now, only a little over 120 remain.

The key point is... of these 120-plus people, more than 20 are seriously injured and have almost lost their ability to fight.

There are still more than thirty of them. Although their injuries are not too serious, they can no longer exert half of their fighting strength.

Those who could unleash more than 50% of their fighting power were all more or less injured.

The casualties during this expedition to the Spirit Pool Secret Realm were absolutely the highest in history!

Luo Fang of the Starry Sky Palace, Luo Hua of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, Yu Xiu of the Martial Alliance, and the fox clan man leading the demon clan were all seriously injured.

Despite his weakened state, Qin Yi used a secret technique from the Starry Sky Palace's Demon-Observing Hall to cleanse them of the remaining demonic energy. This action earned him even greater respect from both humans and demons.

With a bruised and swollen face, Feng Tiexin was writing with pen and paper, recording Qin Yi's courage, loyalty, and sense of responsibility during his time in the Spirit Pool Secret Realm...

He decided that after he got out, he would change Qin Yi's sayings into Qin Yi's biography.

He believed that Qin Yi's biography would be a bestseller.

Because Qin Yi's sayings were only recognized within the Starry Sky Palace, when they were circulated outside, many people questioned them or even treated them as a joke.

However, Qin Yi's biography will gain the recognition of the Martial Alliance, Qingyun Pavilion, and the Demon Clan!

In the midst of fighting and killing, Feng Tiexin couldn't help; he would only be a hindrance. So he decided to find another way to help his brother become famous!

The teams from all four factions remained here, waiting for the Primordial Spirit Pool to erupt with primordial energy.

In any case, we can't leave the Spirit Pool Secret Realm for the time being.

The evil scoundrels probably won't dare to cause trouble again. If they do come, at least there are more people here... enough to hold them off.

however.

To everyone's surprise, before the evil cultists could make a comeback, the people from the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect returned first.

Upon seeing the people from the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect, all the human and demon warriors who were recuperating here gritted their teeth.

If they hadn't been cowardly and fled, the casualties would never have been so heavy.

"You still have the nerve to come back?" Huo Gang roared.

Song Jin of the Heavenly Extreme Sect sneered and said, "We have never been partners. In the previous situation, our decision to break through was just a normal one."

Zhou Wei of the Great River Sword Sect also spoke up, "We all came here for the innate energy. What's wrong with us returning now to wait for the innate energy to erupt?"

"Just now, I killed a group of demonic thieves and learned that Qin Yi actually possesses a quasi-saint artifact. This is a valuable item. I think that in order to prevent the demonic thieves from attacking again, we should have Qin Yi take out that quasi-saint artifact first."

Song Jin nodded and said, "Qin Yi is already so weak after activating that quasi-saint artifact, he probably doesn't have the ability to unleash its power again."

"For everyone's safety, let's take out that quasi-sacred artifact. If the demonic villains come again, we can concentrate our strength and use the quasi-sacred artifact together to deter them."

"How shameless you are!" Feng Tiexin cursed angrily.

These guys, when the war starts, all they think about is running away.

After the fight, they actually set their sights on Qin Yi's quasi-sacred artifact!

Qin Yi stood up.

He stared at these shameless scoundrels and said, "What if I don't give it to them?"

"That's not up to you!" Zhou Wei drew his sword.

A powerful surge of energy also erupted from Song Jin's body.

"I won't allow you to mess with Qin Yi of the Starry Sky Palace!" Yu Hui shouted from the Martial Alliance side.

"You don't represent the Martial Alliance." Song Jin sneered, his face showing disdain.

"That's what I mean too. Anyone who tries to harm Qin Yi will face the Martial Alliance's wrath!" Wu Fei, who had never gotten along well with the Yu siblings, spoke up.

Having been seriously injured and just received Qin Yi's help to clear the demonic energy from his body, Luo Hua of Qingyun Pavilion also stood up, immediately forming hand seals, looking ready to fight.

The fox-clan man leading the demon clan brought the group directly to the side of the Starry Sky Palace members.

Zhou Wei and Song Jin's expressions turned much more unpleasant.

They originally thought that it was only targeting the Starry Sky Palace and Qin Yi, and that the others and the demon race would just watch from the sidelines.

To my utter surprise... these guys actually stood firmly on Qin Yi's side.

"Hmph, with your crippled state, do you think you can gain any advantage in a real fight?" Zhou Wei roared.

Song Jin then shouted, "Let me make this clear: if you want to stay here and wait for the innate energy to erupt, keep your distance from the people of the Starry Sky Palace. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"As for the people from the Starry Sky Palace, either make Qin Yi produce that quasi-saint artifact, or get out of here and don't even think about staying to wait for the innate energy to erupt!"

However, neither the Martial Alliance, the Azure Cloud Pavilion, nor the demon race's forces retreated.

Tensions were high between the two sides.

Just as it seemed another fight was about to break out.

Qin Yi spoke up, "Thank you all, but there's no need. Our Starry Sky Palace will give up!"

Let the people from the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect wait here.

Anyway, waiting is pointless.

There will be no eruption of innate energy.

Qin Yi really doesn't want to fight right now.

Although the sharpness and power of the Hidden Edge Sword Sheath had been almost exhausted, he could still fight using other means.

Even if we win, it's inevitable that other human and demon warriors will suffer further casualties!

The demonic madmen... were only driven away, not wiped out. If they really come back, how great will the casualties be?

of course.

When Qin Yi said he was giving up, he didn't mean he would just leave in a huff.

Those bastards from the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect will absolutely not leave the Spirit Pool Secret Realm alive!

He already had a plan in mind!
