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

The instant Qin Cheng's domain shattered, an expression of immense pain appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Having witnessed Qin Yi's performance in the first round of token competition, they deduced that Qin Yi's strength was roughly equivalent to the 900th place on the Heavenly Ranking.

Qin Cheng is at the third level of the Great Sage Realm. He comes from the second lineage of the Qin Clan of the Heavenly Court. He has good talent and his cultivation techniques are among the best in the world.

He's ranked 725th on the Heavenly Ranking!

I thought that dealing with Qin Yi would be a piece of cake.

As a result... Qin Yi shattered his domain in an instant, causing him to suffer a backlash injury!

Qin Yi's figure shot up, rushing towards Qin Cheng in the air.

Seeing this, Qin Cheng roared and suppressed the backlash from the shattered domain. He then swept his longsword horizontally, the blade radiating a domineering sharpness.

Qin Yi's heavy sword suddenly shot up.

Intense purple lightning raged from the sword's edge.

Swords clashed!

The immense force of the impact instantly shattered Qin Cheng's hand that was gripping the hilt of the knife!

"what!"

A scream escaped Qin Cheng's lips.

The long sword slipped from his hand, and he lost his balance, falling backward uncontrollably!

"boom!"

Qin Cheng's back slammed into several volcanoes in succession before finally plunging into the lava inside one of them.

The lava burst open.

Qin Cheng rushed out in a miserable and disheveled state.

But what awaited him was Qin Yi's heavy sword, which he had prepared to strike!

This sword cleaved open Qin Cheng's chest!

He screamed again and crashed to the ground.

Qin Yi swooped down, his heavy sword plunging into Qin Cheng's abdomen, pinning Qin Cheng's body to the ground.

Qin Cheng coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Although the physical body within the Heavenly Ranking Space is not real, the pain caused by this injury is incredibly clear and intense.

Qin Yi looked down at Qin Cheng lying on the ground, sneered, and said, "Now, do you understand what it means to overestimate your own abilities?"

Qin Cheng's expression was one of extreme pain as he roared, "Sword Overlord, don't be so smug! Brother Xiong said he'll make you pay the price. Even if I don't suppress you, Ma Shang and Brother Ji Yang won't let you off the hook!"

Qin Yi's lips curled into a cold, disdainful smile as he sneered, "Do you think I'd just let them go?"

As he spoke, Qin Yi clenched his five fingers, and domineering lightning shot out from his fingertips, entering Qin Cheng's body.

The power of thunder raged through his body, tearing at his flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Qin Cheng's whole body trembled violently, and his cries of pain continued to ring out.

In just a moment, his will collapsed, and he begged for mercy: "Sword Master...stop...please stop, I beg you...give me a quick death."

Within the Heavenly Ranking Space, death is not so terrible; it is merely damage to the essence of one's soul.

The most terrifying thing is the torment of being unable to live or die!

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since Qin Xiong is so eager to take revenge on me, then you'll reveal all the information about him!"

As it happened, he had previously learned from the "Gun God" of the Bagua Sect that Qin Xiong was going to hide his identity and go to the Fire Star Domain to join the Bloodlust Legion.

Although Qin Yi had already informed the higher-ups of the Qin family's main branch about the situation, and that someone would be investigating in secret, Qin Yi naturally hoped to find out the truth as soon as possible!

He longed to reclaim his companion dragon soul as soon as possible and looked forward to the transformation of this origin.

Qin Cheng shook his head violently and roared, "No... I won't tell you! Xiong Ge and I, though not blood brothers, are closer than brothers. I would never betray Xiong Ge. Don't even think about getting a single word about Xiong Ge from me!"

"Then I'd like to see just how good your relationship really is!" Qin Yi sneered.

The lightning power emanating from his fingertips became even more violent, subjecting Qin Cheng to even more brutal torture.

At the same time, Qin Yi also used a secret technique originating from the Starry Sky Palace's Demon Observation Hall to amplify Qin Cheng's perception of pain!

In fact, Qin Yi had also considered extracting the soul, but considering that Qin Cheng's foundation was not bad, if he were to extract the soul, he would have to fully activate the Origin Demon Art.

The Primordial Demonic Art is too domineering, and its characteristics are very obvious.

The main point is that Qin Cheng will not actually die after the soul is extracted.

If his true form in the celestial realm were to transmit this information, it would undoubtedly increase the risk of his disguised identity as "Sword Master" being exposed.

More than ten breaths passed.

Qin Cheng finally couldn't take it anymore and roared, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."

Next.

Qin Cheng recounted many things about Qin Xiong in one breath.

This includes Qin Xiong's lifestyle habits, the cultivation techniques and secret arts he practices, and a supreme divine power that he has not yet used in public, called Shadow Binding.

He even revealed details of Qin Xiong's secret affairs with other men.

"The relationship between the two of you is truly like that of brothers," Qin Yi said, his tone dripping with mockery. "Anything else?"

"It's gone...it's really gone..." Qin Cheng's voice trembled as he spoke, and he stammered.

Qin Yi snorted coldly and said, "But I feel that you're still not entirely honest!"

The next moment, Qin Yi stepped on Qin Cheng's face.

Qin Cheng's head was crushed and deformed!

"And... I just remembered something else..." Qin Cheng shouted in anguish.

Qin Yi raised his foot, stared at the pitiful Qin Cheng, and said, "Speak!"

Qin Cheng: "A while ago, Xiong Ge was drinking with me. After he had a few drinks, he casually mentioned... something about the Bloodlust Legion in the Mars region discovering clues about the remains of a true dragon on a desolate planet..."

"He's very interested in this."

"Because his bloodline is accompanied by a dragon soul, the remains of a true dragon can bring him great benefits in his cultivation."

"Besides that... when he goes to the Mars region, he will definitely also be thinking of dealing with Qin Yi from the main branch of the Qin family."

"Because Xiong Ge came from the Great Wilderness, Qin Yi killed his family there..."

"That's really all I know..."

A glint flashed in Qin Yi's eyes as his thoughts raced!

"Desolate stars" is a general term for stars with harsh environments and no development value.

There are eighteen stars in the region of Mars, and none of these eighteen stars are desolate.

After a moment, Qin Yi had a clear understanding of the situation!

"There are no desolate stars in the region of Mars, but there are two stars near the Demon Realm..."

"Those two stars were occupied by the Bloodlust Legion under the pretext of defending against the demons' attack."

"Those two stars and the Demon Realm share a buffer zone, which contains quite a few desolate stars!"

"The Bloodlust Legion discovered a desolate planet containing the remains of a true dragon; it must be located there!"

Thinking of this, Qin Yi's mood became much more excited.

Now, the scope of the investigation has been further narrowed.

Moreover, the remains of the true dragon... would also be of great use to Qin Yi!

Putting himself aside, the Nine Nether Devouring Python he raised needed to grow a sixth head in order to become a god.

The Nine Nether Devouring Python's next bloodline evolution will also depend on devouring pure dragon essence.

At this moment, Qin Cheng, lying on the ground, struggled to move his body and cautiously asked, "Sword Master... could you... give me a quick death...?"

Qin Yi suppressed his thoughts, stared at Qin Cheng, and said, "If Qin Xiong knew you had told me all his secrets... guess what he would do to you?"

Qin Cheng was immediately filled with terror.

In this Heavenly Ranking Space, Qin Yi can only torment him, not kill him.

But what if Qin Xiong knew he had been betrayed...?

Qin Xiong really has the ability to kill him!

Although Qin Xiong is only a member of the Qin family's second branch, he has an older brother, Qin Zhen, who possesses a superior-grade divine body and is highly valued by the higher-ups of the second branch!

Therefore, relying on this, Qin Xiong often acted recklessly and daringly within the Qin family's two branches.

While Qin Cheng was gripped by immense fear, Qin Yi stomped on his head and crushed it.

Qin Cheng's physical body then turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

This is also one of the unfriendly aspects of the Heavenly Ranking Space for Qin Yi; even if he kills someone, he cannot devour them, since they are not real flesh and blood.

He certainly wouldn't make Qin Cheng's words public.

Otherwise, if Qin Xiong knew that his secret had been exposed, he would definitely change his plans.

Qin Yi threatened Qin Cheng simply to make Qin Cheng's true form shut up!

He believed that Qin Cheng, after receiving his "reminder," would absolutely not dare to utter a single word!

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yi erased some traces of battle in this area, and then immediately flew swiftly towards the direction of the Water Extreme Zone.

Right now, we need to help Ma Rulong defeat Ma Shang first, and then Ma Rulong can control the Three Lives Stone mine in the Heavenly Ranking Space.

Only in this way can he fulfill his promise to the indomitable fighting spirits of the Sky-Supporting Legion!
