Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Don't think about that too much for now. Let's go find my eldest and second sisters. I'm more worried about their situation. After all, this place isn't the Ancient Forest; people can really die here," Lin Aoxue said.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

"The effect of this Illusionary God Pill only lasts for a few minutes and cannot last long, so they could only find you. However, based on what I just observed, these monsters should have been specifically targeted. Since the two of them are only at the Golden Core stage, there shouldn't be any very powerful monsters to deal with them. I think they should be safe."

"Also, with such a big thing happening here, the powerful figures of the Supreme Induction Sect outside must already be thinking of ways to rescue us. Let's just take it one step at a time. If we encounter enemies we can't handle, I can always use the Illusion God Pill again and transform into the Sun God next time." Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Lin Aoxue didn't say anything more.

“Alright, let’s go find other monsters to hunt. I believe there should be quite a few monsters in this place,” Lin Aoxue said.

After saying this, the two randomly chose a direction and flew off. If they encountered any demonic beasts along the way, they would kill them on sight. If they encountered cultivators who were not from the four major sects, they would also lend a helping hand.

However, as they flew, the two witnessed a somewhat bloody scene. Not all cultivators could match the demon race. Once they encountered each other, if the difference in strength was too great, that was the fate of the cultivator before them.

The person was completely devoured, leaving only a head filled with resentment. When demonic beasts encounter humans, their favorite thing to do is kill and eat them, because the physical bodies of human cultivators are a great source of nourishment for demonic races.

"This? Sigh!" Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun saw the cultivator's head and regretfully reached out to dispose of it.

This time, the demonic beasts came prepared, while the human cultivators were caught completely off guard and had no idea how many demonic beasts had been placed in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in advance.

However, judging from the fact that the other side used multiple Nascent Soul stage demons to deal with Fairy Taiyin and her group, they must have arranged for several times more demon beasts than human cultivators to deal with them.

After all, the Reverse Immortal Alliance must know how many cultivators participated in this trial and how many powerful figures were guarding it.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all you monsters!" In another area, Yan Yu went into berserk mode again, fighting multiple monsters alone.

Those streaks of blood-red sword light relentlessly rained down on the monsters. There were at least six monsters at the peak of the Dao Palace realm here, but Yan Yu killed several of them.

This Hall of Ten Thousand Demons not only houses the demon race who had been placed there in advance, but also contains monsters from the ancient forest.

Currently, the group besieging Yan Yu consists of a peak-level Dao Palace cultivator and several demons ranging from early to late-stage Dao Palace cultivators. They originally had a significant advantage, but after their cultivation levels were lowered by the Sky Dragon's Lightning Summoning Ball, they are now finding it somewhat difficult to fight back.

"Damn it, does this woman's strength come free? Don't they feel pain? We hit her several times in the open, but she always got up unharmed and continued attacking us. It's unbelievable." These demons had all moved away from Yan Yu.

"The most outrageous thing isn't her, but that huge monster that just appeared. I don't know what kind of method that monster used to lower our cultivation levels. It's utterly despicable. Forget about her. Instead of wasting time with a madwoman, we'd rather find someone else who's easier to deal with."

Looking at Li Bai's side, he now only has three mutilated monster corpses left beside him, and one more is barely clinging to life.

Originally, the four of them could have stalled for a while, but after being hit by the lightning bomb, their cultivation level dropped directly from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, making them no match for Li Bai at all.

"Damn it, the heavens are unjust! Why didn't that monster attack you? If it weren't for the monster's attack suppressing our cultivation level, even if we weren't your match, we wouldn't have lost so badly." A powerful demon who had lost an arm looked at Li Bai indignantly.

Li Bai didn't say much.

"Then I can only say that Heaven favors our Supreme Response Sect. Enough with the nonsense, rest in peace." Li Bai then struck again with his sword, killing the last Nascent Soul stage demon who was attacking him on the spot, and then revealed his true form.

As for their primordial spirits, unfortunately, under Li Bai's sword intent attack, their primordial spirits couldn't escape at all. Even if they could escape, they couldn't escape the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. This place is no less than a graveyard for humans and demons. The dead humans and demons must sleep here forever.

Li Bai casually collected their corpses; the corpses of these Nascent Soul stage demons were treasures, so he naturally couldn't let them go.

After defeating the four powerful demons, Li Bai sensed the surroundings and then flew towards other areas with dense demonic energy.

The demons he encountered on the road were all wiped out by a single sword strike. This was no longer a trial, and rules couldn't be followed anymore. He had to do everything he could to protect the surviving cultivators.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had gone by.

Time had passed from morning to afternoon; Ye Liuyun and the others had been trapped in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace for almost half a day.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue rescued many people along the way. These people understood that the competition was over, so they followed Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue to search for the other people.

As long as no monsters from the Four Extremes Secret Realm appear, these people can travel freely without any obstacles. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that they will avoid encountering any monsters from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Hahaha, I've run into a few more human brats. The little girl I just ate wasn't even enough to fill my teeth. You guys are just right." A powerful demon in the early stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm descended from the sky with a ferocious look, blocking Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's path.

But this guy didn't finish his act. A beam of blue light shot out from Ye Liuyun's body, piercing through his body before the monsters of the Four Extremes Secret Realm could react, leaving a large hole in his chest.

It was very sudden; no one expected that Ye Liuyun would suddenly make a move, and it was a fatal one.

"This? Impossible?" The monster stared at the empty hole in its chest, then collapsed in disbelief.

The cultivators following Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were almost frightened.

"What was that? Just now, this Miss Ye emitted a blue light from her body, easily killing this monster from the Four Extremes Secret Realm? That's too powerful! Is it some kind of treasure?"

"It should be, that's great, following Miss Ye and Miss Lin was definitely the right choice." These people felt safe now.

As for who attacked this monster, it was definitely Lan Wei. They were no match for the monsters of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Ye Liuyun now knew the effects of the Illusion God Pill. This thing could be used as a trump card, but it was not suitable for killing cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Therefore, he could only send Lan Wei.

After Lan Wei killed the monster, it was immediately taken away by Ye Liuyun's bracelet. This was the first prey from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Stop pretending. We don't want to give you a chance to show off. Everyone, we will continue to search for cultivators from other sects. This is no longer a trial; it's a battle between humans and demons."

Ye Liuyun reminded the people behind him.

However, just as they were about to continue forward, the space within the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly began to tremble violently.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Everyone thought something bad had happened.

However, this time, it wasn't Ye Liuyun who did it; rather, the sky cracked open like glass, revealing a huge fissure.

Before Ye Liuyun and the others could say anything, all the living beings in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace were released once again.

No need to look anymore. It must be the external forces that broke down the repairs made by the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, turning a Heaven-Rank magic weapon into scrap metal.

The released people were then sent back to the areas where they had been taken in.

This was not a problem for them. Countless streams of light shot out from the cracks in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, flying in all directions at extremely high speeds. Even Li Yutang could not intercept them.

After they landed in their previous positions, they transformed back into human form.

Those demons also returned to the area where they were taken away. However, when they went in, there were tens of thousands of powerful demons, but when they came out, there were less than a few thousand left. Dozens of Nascent Soul Great Demons went in, but when they came out, there were only a dozen or so left.

This loss is far greater than the loss suffered by the human race.

This is still thanks to Ye Liuyun. If it weren't for Ye Liuyun, the demon race wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. As for the human race, out of 10,000 people, less than 6,000 remain. Subtracting those who were eliminated earlier, that means nearly 2,000 people were killed by the demon race.

Of the ten Nascent Soul level experts who were guarding the safety, only six remain. Four of them died at the hands of the demon race. The losses among the cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm are even greater.

"Huh? Has the Ten Thousand Demon Palace been broken?" Ye Liuyun looked at his current location and immediately understood what was going on.

As the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was breached, Li Yutang immediately sensed his daughter's location. After confirming that he could sense her presence, he breathed a sigh of relief and instantly appeared beside Li Hanyu.

Li Hanyu didn't react at that moment either; after all, who could react so quickly after all that back and forth?

"You brat, are you alright?" Li Yutang asked immediately after appearing beside Li Hanyu.

Li Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her father.

"Ah, thank goodness, old man. It seems you're the one who rescued me. I knew you wouldn't just stand by and do nothing," Li Hanyu said with a smile.

"You have no manners! Do you know how dangerous it was just now? The Reverse Immortal Alliance, in league with the demon race, was trying to trap and kill you all in this Ten Thousand Demon Palace." Li Yutang briefly explained the situation to Li Hanyu.

Li Hanyu was also shocked after hearing this. She had originally thought that the difficulty of the trial had just increased suddenly.

"Is that so? That is indeed very dangerous. By the way, old man, I saw a very terrifying monster in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. Listen to me..." Li Hanyu quickly told Li Yutang about the appearance of the monster in the sky in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

Li Yutang was stunned after hearing this. She had never heard of any monster that looked like a dragon and a snake, and had two mouths.

"The seventh trial is temporarily suspended due to an unforeseen event. Let's first count the remaining participants before deciding whether to continue." This was the voice of Ancestor Tianyi.

As soon as these words were spoken, a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators appeared in the sky, and they began searching for the remaining trial participants and enemies in the ancient forest.

As for the demon race, the Black Tiger Demon King and his group have already left the Ancient Forest. As for the matter of the demon race and the Reverse Immortal Alliance joining forces to kill the trial participants, Ancestor Tianyi has no time to deal with the demon race for the time being.

Anyway, they and the demon race were enemies to begin with, so this debt can only be remembered for now.

Li Bai and the others have already reunited with Ancestor Tianyi. Apart from Li Bai and Fairy Taiyin, the other Nascent Soul experts have all suffered considerable injuries.

"As for whether the six of you came out alive? This? Sigh!" When Elder Tianmu saw that only Li Bai and the others were left, his mood suddenly became heavy. Now, four more Nascent Soul cultivators had been killed.

This loss is already significant for the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"Damn it! I thought their attack on Tianyi City was ruthless enough, but I didn't expect there to be a second wave. This time they even used a damaged Heaven-rank magic weapon, causing me to lose four Nascent Soul experts and several cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm." Elder Tianjian was so angry that he kicked the already ruined Ten Thousand Demons Palace until it disappeared without a trace.

Tai Lian was heartbroken to see this.

"Hey? Second Elder, why did you kick the Ten Thousand Demons Palace away? Although it's useless now, it still has some research value for me." Tai Lian said with a mournful face, looking at the Ten Thousand Demons Palace that had already flown away and disappeared.

But Tianjian immediately glared at him, and that glare shut Tailian up.

However, Tai Lian still chased after it, wanting to retrieve the item.

After a while, the number of survivors was finally tallied.

"Master, there are still 5892 participants left. Nearly 2000 of them have perished in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect." A cultivator told Tai Lian about the remaining participants.

The loss of over 2000 people was quite alarming. Even the Old Ancestor Tianyi couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly inquired about the number of disciples lost in his sect and how many of the disciples they had been recruiting survived.

She didn't want to know how many cultivators from other sects had died, but the deaths of even one of her own sect's disciples and the disciples they were recruiting were the elite of the elite, and they would feel very sad.

The cultivators responsible for counting the remaining people quickly did another round of screening, and their expressions turned somewhat grim afterward.

"Master, our sect originally had more than 300 disciples participating in the competition, but now only more than 200 remain. Nearly 100 of them perished in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. As for those disciples we paid special attention to, fortunately, they are all alive and well." The powerful figure said with great heartache.

Ancestor Tianyi couldn't stand it anymore.

"Quickly compile a list to see exactly which disciples have perished. Since only 5800 or so remain, let's terminate the competition and make an exception to let them all pass. Let them return to the sect first, to prevent the Rebel Immortal Alliance from having any other backup plans." Ancestor Tianyi's mood worsened.

However, the situation for the cultivators of the four major sects in the Northern Region was not much better. They were currently counting how many of their disciples were still alive. They possessed the soul jade tablets of these disciples, and the tablets would shatter once the disciples died.

"What? Nearly 200 disciples have been lost? How could this happen?" Song Qingtian, the master of the Eight Desolations Supreme Hall, grabbed an elder by the collar and roared angrily.

The situation of the other three sects is not particularly good either.

Because they were enemies to Ye Liuyun, he summoned lightning bolts, which weakened all the disciples of the four families as well.

The demon race is inherently stronger than the human race at the same level. Even if both sides have their strength reduced, it is still the human race that is showing weakness.

Of the more than two thousand people who died, nearly a third were disciples of these four families, a loss even greater than that of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

After the headcount was completed, the voice of the Moon Fairy rang out in the ancient forest.

"Fellow participants, due to the interference of the demon race and the Reverse Immortal Alliance, the participants have suffered heavy losses. Those who survive this round will be exceptionally promoted to the next round, and their points will not be counted. Keep the demon beasts you hunted. Next, I will activate the power of the bracelets on your hands to bring you back. Do not resist."

Upon hearing this, everyone was unsure whether to be happy or unhappy. This trial was far too dangerous. They could only hope that no accidents would occur in the final two stages.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, it's hard to tell whether it was good luck or bad luck, but the Wanmo Palace that the Heavenly Sword kicked away landed straight down next to Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? What's this?" Ye Liuyun heard a heavy thud next to him, so he looked over and saw a powerless lump of iron lying on the ground.

Out of curiosity, she picked up the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Oh? A broken low-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon. Little guys, this must be what trapped you just now," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, but before he could say anything, the power of the bracelet was activated.

A power emanated from the bracelet, enveloping her and then carrying her into the air, heading towards the teleportation array.

After she took to the sky, she quickly put away the Myriad Demon Palace. Many disciples of the Supreme Response Sect were alert to their surroundings in the sky. She soon saw Lin Aoxue and the others who were also encased in bubbles.

"Aoxue, eldest sister, second sister," Ye Liuyun called out, beckoning.

Yan Yu and the others quickly responded, but since they couldn't control the bubble, they could only talk about their experience inside the Ten Thousand Demon Palace after they landed.

A few minutes later, all the surviving contestants were gathered at the teleportation point.

As soon as Ye Liuyun and the others left the bubble, they immediately joined Lin Aoxue and the others.

"It was terrifying! Brother Yu, Third Sister, Little Sister, do you know what? I almost lost my life! I had barely reacted when I was attacked by four Dao Palace Peak level demons. They beat me so badly I was almost helpless." As soon as Chen Yao landed, she hugged Yan Yu tightly and said with a frightened expression.

These words startled Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

"What? Then how did you survive, Second Sister?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

When asked this question, Chen Yao herself was also confused.

"I don't know either. I remember that I was killed by those monsters the last time, but after they left, I woke up completely unharmed," Chen Yao explained with a blank expression.

That's a bit of a miracle, but it's also a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Yao'er, now that you mention it, it seems like I've encountered something similar. But I was in a berserk state at the time, so I couldn't feel any pain. All I know is that when I regained consciousness, all the monsters that were attacking me disappeared," Yan Yu said, somewhat confused.

After they finished speaking, they seemed to realize something and turned their gaze to Ye Liuyun.

They suddenly had a bold idea: were they still human? After all, they must have died once before, and were saved by Ye Liuyun with elixirs.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that again?" Ye Liuyun knew that their situation must be related to her, but she didn't know what their current state was.

"Sigh! Never mind, I won't ask." Yan Yu wanted to ask but didn't want to.

Lin Aoxue didn't have time to chat with them; instead, she focused her attention on the surviving cultivators around her, checking on the situation of the Cloud Sect.

Yun Xin was still there, and Li Hanyu was still there too. Li Hanyu was walking towards the four of them.
