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

What Qin Yi cared about was certainly not Ma Rulong's use of demonic resources.

He simply felt that this so-called Blood Sea Heavenly Pill was far superior to the Great Wilderness's Myriad Blood Pill!

He came from the Great Wilderness. Before he came, Granny Yin prepared many Blood Pills for him, but fearing that he would not accept them, she gave them to the Nine Nether Devouring Python.

After arriving in the Heavenly Realm, the Nine Nether Devouring Python confessed the matter and offered to hand over the batch of Myriad Blood Pills to Qin Yi. Qin Yi ultimately chose to let the Nine Nether Devouring Python consume them himself.

Because his blood and qi reserves were sufficient for the time being, he devoured a large amount of blood and qi during the final battle in the Great Wilderness.

However, as one's cultivation level increases, the power of supernatural abilities will increase accordingly when used, resulting in greater consumption of vital energy and blood.

To be honest, the effects of the Blood Pill on him were getting worse and worse.

But the Blood Sea Heaven Pill that Ma Rulong used... is undoubtedly a perfect substitute for the Myriad Blood Pill.

Ma Rulong seemed to see through Qin Yi's thoughts and said, "We can only bring a limited number of resources to participate in this competition. If Brother Jianba is interested in the Blood Sea Heavenly Pill, I will give you a few after the competition is over."

Qin Yi cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Rulong."

"Sword Master, your perception is incredibly sharp! Throughout this journey, you were always the first to detect the Stone Dragon Beast's aura fluctuations. I never imagined you had such a talent in this area!"

The woman codenamed "Xiaoxiao" spoke.

She looked Qin Yi up and down, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.

The others also found it incredible.

Although Jian Ba's cultivation level was not high, everyone had already witnessed his combat strength. No one expected that he would also have a unique advantage in terms of mental strength!

Qin Yi humbly replied, "I once encountered a calamity. While being chased by enemies, I unfortunately fell into an abyss. At the bottom of the abyss, by chance, I discovered a cave, in which there was a soul-refining inheritance left by a master."

Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "You are a person blessed with good fortune."

At this point, Xiaoxiao changed the subject, saying, "Young Master Rulong unleashed his full power in the Arctic region, saving a lot of time."

"Perhaps we are not far from Ma Shang and the others now."

"Young Master Rulong needs to adjust his condition for now. It's up to us now!"

"Everyone, let's work together to secure this victory for Prince Rulong!"

"This 'Xiaoxiao' is clearly not helping Ma Rulong purely for the benefits he promised; she must be extremely infatuated with him," Qin Yi thought to himself.

The team set off again, entering the Fire Pole Zone.

The sky and earth were illuminated crimson by the firelight, and the scorching heat seemed to ignite the very blood and energy within everyone's bodies.

Even Ma Rulong had to circulate his power to form a thin layer of protection on his body.

This environment, however, was perfect for Qin Yi.

After all, he possessed the Nine Yang Divine Body, a bloodline of extreme strength and yang energy.

Without Ma Rulong's incredible speed, the group's journey was much slower, and they chose to travel at top speed on the ground instead of flying!

Because the three-eyed fire apes in the fire zone are stronger than the stone dragons in the earth zone, if a group of people were to fly through the air, they would be easily spotted by the three-eyed fire apes.

Avoiding combat as much as possible is naturally the best option.

Fighting not only wastes time, but also depletes energy.

Because Qin Yi demonstrated astonishing perception while traversing the polar regions, everyone trusted him implicitly.

Qin Yi was responsible for sensing the aura of the demonic beasts. If a demonic beast was detected ahead, the team would detour.

Xiao Xiao, who was at the fifth level of the Great Sage Realm, and Fei Hu, who was at the third level of the Great Sage Realm, stood in front of and behind Qin Yi to ensure his safety.

As for Ma Rulong, he was positioned in the middle of the group.

More than two hours later.

Qin Yi and his group are about to reach the edge of the Fire Extreme Zone.

Thanks to Qin Yi's perception, they did not engage in battle with a three-eyed fire ape along the way.

Everyone was in a good mood.

"We just discovered traces of a battle, definitely left by Ma Shang's team. Judging from the traces, the battle definitely didn't take more than half an hour."

"We're almost there!"

"Thanks to Young Master Rulong in the Arctic region, who used his 'Unstoppable Thousand Miles' supernatural power to take us on a rapid journey. Of course, Sword Master also deserves credit. Without his perception, we would have wasted a lot of time fighting the monsters."

A smile appeared on Xiaoxiao's face. She looked at Ma Rulong, her eyes shining with joy and admiration, and said, "Young Master Rulong, don't worry, we're almost catching up. I believe you will definitely beat Ma Shang!"

Ma Rulong's condition had recovered to about 70-80%, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying, "Next, we're about to enter the Water Extreme Zone. I plan to use the 'Unstoppable Thousand Miles' Divine Power again for a while."

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, "Brother Rulong, you must be careful."

"At our speed, catching up with them shouldn't be a problem. While you can use 'Unstoppable Force' to go even faster, once we encounter them, there will inevitably be a battle."

"You need to stay in good shape; after all, dealing with Qin Jiyang depends on you!"

Although he brought the Illusionary Heart Pearl, Qin Jiyang, a prodigy from the second branch of the Qin family, probably possessed a low-grade divine artifact, making him difficult to deal with.

Qin Yi's plan was to assist Ma Rulong, not to be at the forefront himself.

Xiao Xiao also said, "Sword Master's consideration is reasonable. Young Master Rulong should not use the 'One Thousand Miles of Water' technique casually."

Ma Rulong paused for a moment, then nodded: "We'll see how things go when the time comes."

A few more moments passed.

Although they were in a scorching environment, they could already hear the sound of waves crashing in front of them.

This means we are about to enter the water polar region.

But it was at this very moment.

Qin Yi's brows furrowed suddenly, and he said, "A large number of demonic beasts are actively approaching; they're probably coming specifically for us!"

"To be precise, we...are surrounded!"

"There's no way to take a detour; we have to fight our way through!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly became extremely serious.

"The demonic beasts in the Lesser Four Extremes Secret Realm usually travel in large groups, but according to Brother Jianba... a large number of demonic beasts surrounding us is not right!"

Ma Rulong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So... it must have been a scheme arranged by Ma Shang. Someone in their group possesses the art of beast taming and was waiting for us here!"

"In that case, let's go full speed ahead!"

"Before the demonic beasts gather and form an encirclement, let's storm the Water Extreme Zone!"

Ma Rulong's choice was correct.

If the monsters surround us, the situation will become very troublesome.

If you kill all the monsters blocking your way and enter the Water Zone, the Three-Eyed Fire Apes in the Fire Zone will not cross the boundary to chase you.

Ma Shang and his group certainly didn't have much time in the water zone, so they wouldn't have had time to set up an ambush.

Once he made his decision, Ma Rulong rushed to the front.

Although he did not use the "One Thousand Miles Down" divine power again, his speed was still extremely fast, and violent power surged around him. He also had the low-grade divine banner embroidered with gilded cloud patterns in his hand.

Qin Yi and the others charged forward, closely following behind Ma Rulong. They had all drawn their weapons, circulated their internal energy, and were ready to launch a fierce battle!

Soon, more than a dozen giant apes appeared in front of them, each with a fireball-like eye between its brows.

These dozen or so three-eyed fire apes pounded their chests and the ground with their arms, letting out roars.

Behind these three-eyed fire apes were two men and a woman!

The woman held a long flute to her lips. As the flute music began, the three-eyed fire apes became even more agitated, their fiery eyes between their brows spewing out scorching flames!

Clearly, this woman was the beast tamer in the group.

The two men beside the woman had sneers on their faces.

One of the men, named Qin Cheng, came from the second branch of the Qin clan in Heaven.

He looked at the other man and said, "You work with the Three-Eyed Fire Ape to deal with Ma Rulong and his group. My target is Sword Master!"

"Our Brother Xiong said that Jian Ba ​​has opposed him and even provoked the Qin family's two branches; he must be taught a painful lesson!"

"Once I suppress him, I will use the soul-searching technique to obtain his identity information in the Heavenly Realm. At that time, I will make him wish he were dead!"
