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

"Five are enough. The human and demon races have probably exhausted their resources this time. There shouldn't be any more experts at the ninth level of the Divine Path in the entire Tianhe Starfield. There are no more experts who can threaten us anymore," said another expert from the forbidden area.

But then he remembered something and fell silent, because he realized that there was still a woman exuding an aura of immortality who hadn't shown up yet.

"Not saying anything? They must have thought of something, right? Let's wait patiently until the Immortal Gate opens." The strongest being of the Chaotic Heaven Sea said helplessly, and then fell silent.

Another powerful figure also sighed in great anger and fell silent.

The cultivators on the other side of the Meteor Sea stopped when they realized that the battles in the three forbidden areas had all ceased.

"It seems that all of you fellow Daoists have perished. I just wonder how many forbidden land rats you have eliminated," a human expert at the eighth level of the Divine Path muttered.

His opponent also sighed deeply.

"Alright, alright, we've completed our mission. Let's use the remaining time to do what we need to do. Everyone, stop!" The demon cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of the Divine Path shouted in all directions.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators who had been fighting fiercely all stopped. They were indeed fighting, but their ultimate goal was not to die here. They were just trying to distract the forbidden area. If they didn't fight seriously, they would definitely be suspected.

Although Ye Liuyun didn't tell them what he was going to do, they understood what was going on the moment those cultivators at the ninth level of the Divine Path suddenly left this place for the forbidden area. After all, they were all cultivators of the Divine Path, not idiots.

What's the point of them fighting so fiercely here? They might as well go back, those with their own power should leave behind a legacy, and those without should find a successor, and then find a suitable place to bury themselves.

If they all die here, then it's completely pointless; it's just plain stupid.

Lin Qingyou, on the other side of the Immortal Realm, sighed softly when she saw the battle in the forbidden area had stopped.

"Not bad. Only four rats were left after the three forbidden areas were killed, but some of them were quite big," Lin Qingyou remarked.

Hu Dali was also quite surprised. The fact that the two clans had wiped out so many former emperors and sovereigns in one fell swoop was an earth-shattering event, unprecedented in history.

To be honest, he admired Ye Liuyun more and more. He couldn't understand how Ye Liuyun had persuaded the demon race and the human race to put aside their prejudices and attack the forbidden area together. At the same time, he glanced at the white-robed old man sitting under the spirit peach tree, closing his eyes to heal his wounds.

Ye Wudao has returned. The first thing he did upon returning was to find a place to heal his injuries, as he had aged considerably.

Of all the cultivators who went to attack the forbidden area, only Ye Wudao has returned alive, but he doesn't have much life left unless he's willing to absorb the power of the elixir of immortality, which he obviously hasn't done.

To put it bluntly, life and death are no longer important to him. If the Immortal Gate opens and he passes the test of the Immortal Realm and ascends to the Immortal Realm, then he can live. If he cannot pass through the Immortal Gate, then he will surely die. Whether he absorbs the elixir of immortality or not, the result is the same.

"The power emanating from this stone feels so familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before," Sun Yuan and Hu Dali said, looking at the Nuwa Stone floating beside Ye Wudao.

Seeing their suspicions, Lin Qingyou didn't hide anything from them.

"This item is the imperial weapon of our Mother Goddess Fengwa. You two should have seen the owner of this stone before," Lin Qingyou reminded her.

Sun Yuan immediately realized what was happening.

"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why it looked so familiar. This stone has evolved into a celestial artifact, enough to easily suppress and kill a Heavenly Abyss level expert," Sun Yuan said with a serious expression.

“Fengwa? You mean those two strange creatures who created the human race? I remember she had a husband named Fengxi. They were husband and wife, as well as siblings. But it seems they weren’t born from the body of the ancestral god Pangu. They are quite special. Does anyone know their origins?” Hu Dali asked.

It is true that Fuxi and Nuwa were indeed innate beings, just like Yuanfeng and the others. However, they were very weak innate beings. Apart from living a long time, their strength in the ancient times was not even as good as that of the Demon Emperor.

However, many demon emperors in the ancient times gave them face, but no one expected that the human race they created would be able to reach the pinnacle of the stage.

“Back then, I, Old Sun, saw that those two siblings were innate beings, and you could say that I allocated a star to them out of respect for them as our elders. Now that I think about it, that star was probably originally the place where the human race was born, and also the place where they were born. Could it be said that I, Old Sun, unintentionally helped the human race?” Sun Yuan said with a strange expression.

"Alas! The crisis in the forbidden area has only been mitigated many times over, not completely eliminated. This time, in order to attack them, the two races almost exhausted their ninth level of divine power. If I'm not mistaken, the day the Heavenly Gate opens will be the day of the Great Destruction. They still have four of them. For the current Tianhe Star Region, this is still an unsolvable situation," Lin Qingyou said calmly.

Upon hearing Lin Qingyou's words, Sun Yuan immediately understood what she meant.

“It seems you’re determined to return to the Immortal Realm after the Immortal Gate opens, otherwise you wouldn’t have said that,” Sun Yuan said.

"There's nothing I can do. Those creatures from the forbidden lands are all intimidated by my immortal energy and dare not come out. But in reality, Senior Sun Yuan, you should be able to see that I'm just a paper tiger. I can only deal with one at most," Lin Qingyou explained.

That's true. If Lin Qingyou were to go all out in the lower realm, she could only kill one creature from the forbidden area, and afterwards she would probably be attacked by the Heavenly Dao.

The matter in the forbidden area has temporarily come to an end, and the official competition in the competition space is about to begin.

With 10,000 slots available for each race, only a few hundred remain, which will be filled soon. The platform, which was originally packed with participants, now has less than 5,000 people left, and even fewer for the demon race.

Ye Liuyun had also received a message from Lin Qingyou, informing her that the battles in the forbidden area and the Meteor Sea had ended.

"Are there four left? And three of those four are not ordinary Heavenly Abyss level experts. The three strongest are still alive. We will have to face these terrifying guys again soon." Ye Liuyun sighed to himself.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's sudden expression of both joy and worry, Lin Aoxue guessed that the battle in the forbidden area must have ended.

"Is the battle in the forbidden area over?" Lin Aoxue asked softly.

Ye Liuyun nodded and then recounted the results of the battle.

"Don't worry, we still have immortal artifacts. If we can revive them, it should be enough to protect the people we want to protect," Lin Aoxue said confidently.

Even so, Ye Liuyun still had a strange sense of unease, feeling that things couldn't be as simple as they appeared.

Besides, she didn't want the Great Cataclysm to come. What would be the point if this era were destroyed and only their group of people were left?

Since everyone anticipated that this day would inevitably come, Ye Liuyun should do his best to quell the crisis.

Time passed slowly, and soon the last spots on both sides were filled.

As the number of spots on the gate reached zero, Xue Qingwu's voice rang out again. Those who had failed the trial could only head to the spectator area with disappointed expressions, and the spectator area was almost full.

"The qualifying assessment for the duel between the two races has officially ended. All 10,000 human contestants and 10,000 demon contestants have entered the competition venue. The duel between the two races will determine the primary and secondary status of the next ten-thousand-year-old God Burial Star. We hope that the contestants from both races will give their all in the competition."

"Next, I'll announce the first round of the official competition: the human-demon confrontation. The competition space will randomly select demons and humans from the same rounds to enter the battle space for a duel. There will be eight matches in a row. The winners will advance, and the losers will be eliminated. Those eliminated in the first round will not be eligible for the next round." Xue Qingwu began to explain the requirements for the first round of the official competition.

In other words, everyone only has one chance. No matter how many different types of competitions there are later, only the winners can participate in those competitions. Therefore, even cultivators who have a侥幸心理 (a mentality of taking chances) must be fully prepared.

After explaining the requirements, the competition was ready to begin.

Suddenly, the space behind the battle became dark.

"The competition is about to start, I hope I can get on stage soon," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Then, eight beams of light of different colors shot down from the sky. These beams flashed over Ye Liuyun and his companions before finally locking onto the eight cultivators from the two races.

The others weren't quite sure what the beam of light meant, but Xue Qingwu was determined to explain it.

"The cultivators from the two races locked onto by the beam of light will be randomly matched based on the same color. Now, you sixteen contestants are about to be teleported to the competition space," Xue Qingwu reminded them.

Of these eighteen people, not all of them definitely want to go up right now.

"Ugh! What bad luck," a human cultivator complained with a mournful face.

The other two battlefields also have dedicated personnel in charge, but these two battlefields are not among the focus of the leaders of the two races, because the future supreme powerhouses of the human and demon races will only be born from the Nirvana-level battlefields, so they only need to pay attention to the Nirvana-level battlefields.

Currently, there are three battlefields: the Four Extremes Battlefield with 4,000 participants, the Divine Transformation Battlefield with 3,000 participants, and the Nirvana Battlefield with 3,000 participants.

The elimination rate in this first round of the competition is quite fast.

After both sides finished matching their players, they disappeared from their seats and appeared on eight different stars.

In this match, neither the human nor the demon race had any cultivators that Ye Liuyun was familiar with, so he could just relax and be a spectator.

All eight groups have their highlights, but the most exciting one is the match between a human race from outer space and a demon race from the southern continent.

This is because this match is between an eleven-star human race and a ten-star demon race; the rest are mostly ten-star versus nine-star.

To be honest, Ye Liuyun couldn't tell that the human who came on stage was human at all. Why? First of all, this guy's skin was dark purple all over his body, and he had features that were completely unlike humans, such as the horns of the beastmen and some of the shells of the insectoids.

Without exception, this group of humans possesses a very evil aura, or rather, a very dark aura.

"What a bizarre fellow. Is this guy even human? He's neither human nor demon nor ghost. He looks sinister and terrifying, like a malevolent ghost from the underworld. He's even more monstrous than the demon race." Most of the humans present seemed very resistant to this strange human who had come up on stage.

There were quite a few other nominees of the same race as this eleven-star dark human. They were all sitting together, encouraged by the humans around them, because no one else wanted to be near them.

"I remember they are the humans from Tianmo Star, which is a star without a sun, only a moon. They are humans who fled to that star in ancient times, and after millions of years of adaptation, they eventually became like this." Ye Liuyun had information about these strange humans.

After all, they came to participate in the competition, so they definitely had to prove that they were human.

"It seems like no one likes us. Why are we humans from Tianmo Star so different from them, even though we are all human?" A girl from the isolated Tianmo Star human race said sadly and with low self-esteem.

They were not welcomed by the other humans as soon as they arrived on the planet of the Gods Burial. In fact, they were arguably the least popular human group among all the different races present.

"So what if they don't like us? Does their dislike mean we're not human? Our strength will surely be recognized by them," another male member of the Tianmo Star race said in a deep voice.

Speaking of which, the Tianmo Star human race actually wanted to move to the Burial God Star to live many times. Their ancestral star is not too far from the Burial God Star. Unfortunately, about 200,000 years ago, they wanted to live in the Western Continent, but they were met with strong resistance from the Western Continent human race and ultimately failed.

Moreover, the Western Continent gave them a rather unpleasant name, and even stripped them of their human status, calling them demons.

Moreover, the bloodline of the demon race still exists in the Western Continent, but it has been neutralized by the humans of the Western Continent, and it no longer has the exaggerated and bizarre appearance of the humans of the Heavenly Demon Star.

"To be honest, Mom, are they really human? Are you sure?" Ye Qingxue asked curiously.

"It's been verified. They are indeed human, just mutated. They once moved their entire race to the Western Continent, but they weren't welcomed there. A war broke out between the two sides, and the Western Continent's human race won. They were forced to retreat back to their ancestral planet," Ye Liuyun explained.

Ye Liuyun learned this information from the leader of the Tianmo Star cultivators. These Tianmo Star experts hoped that Ye Liuyun could help them find a place to live on the Burial God Star.

This matter put Ye Liuyun in a difficult position because the differences were too great; these external differences could not even be described as those between the same race.

Although she has a lot of influence, she doesn't dare to help others casually and can only wait until the competition is over.

Let's look at the playing field again.

The opponent of the Heavenly Demon Star human race was a cultivator from the Azure Water Dragon Clan of the Southern Continent.

The other party looked very surprised when they saw the Tianmo Star human.

"You, you can also be considered a human?" the Azure Water Dragon asked, speechless.

That one sentence immediately turned the Tianmo Star human race into a murderous force.

"Whether I am human or not is none of your business, you vermin!" It's one thing for fellow humans to question their identity, but for even demons to come out and question their identity is a bit insulting.

And with his move, the other party's temper must have flared up as well.

"You look even more bizarre than our demon race. I'll question you. Is there a problem? Eleven-star human? Very well, let me see if you truly deserve to be eleven-star." The Azure Water Dragon suddenly revealed its true form, transforming into a colossal blue creature.

This thing is not much smaller than the star we are on.

But this thing doesn't look like a dragon at all; it looks more like a snake.

After revealing his true form, he unhesitatingly unleashed a blue energy ray capable of piercing a planet at the Tianmoxing human race.

The energy rays engulfed the human race of the Heavenly Demon Star, and the energy fell on the earth, instantly piercing through the star.

This battle space is completely unrestricted, allowing both sides to fully unleash their destructive power.

"What a terrifying attack! This attack must be at least at the power of the Reincarnation Realm," a cultivator from the Eastern Continent estimated.

After the Azure Water Dragon finished its attack, its gaze remained fixed on the spot where he had made a piercing strike. Although this guy was quite ruthless, he also knew that his opponent could not be defeated by him in one blow.

Sure enough, after the dust settled, the human from the Heavenly Demon Star stood unharmed, with a huge bottomless pit behind him.

"That's it!" the human from the Heavenly Demon Star said disdainfully.

The Azure Water Dragon glared, and two more terrifying red rays shot out from its eyes, striking the human from the Heavenly Demon Star, but were deflected.

It is evident how tough the insect-shell-like armor on the other party is; its toughness is no less than that of the physical strength of many demon races.

"Is its defense this strong? The black shell on this thing doesn't look like a treasure; it looks more like part of its body." Many powerful humans were astonished.

The Azure Water Dragon's attack was truly formidable; it reached the Reincarnation Realm with a single strike, meaning the opponent must have been at least at the Tribulation Realm level.

The Azure Water Dragon's two attacks were intercepted without taking any damage, and its power began to surge wildly. Since energy attacks were ineffective, it would have to resort to the physical attacks that the demon race was best at.

He swung his tail and lashed it down hard at the Tianmo Star human race. With this blow, their star shattered into pieces like an egg with a thud, and a star no smaller than Earth was destroyed.

This shows just how terrifying a battle between Nirvana-level cultivators can be. Although Burial God Star is much larger than these stars, without the protection of a powerful force, a Celestial Realm cultivator could destroy Burial God Star in a short time.

After the star was destroyed, the Tianmo Star human race and the Azure Water Dragon floated in space.

"Still too weak." The human from Tianmo Star blocked the huge dragon's tail with one hand.

The Azure Water Dragon's pupils contracted upon seeing this scene, and the next moment, the Heavenly Demon Star Human's eyes flashed red, followed by streams of dark light bursting out from the Azure Water Dragon's body.

The Azure Water Dragon's mournful howl echoed throughout the entire starry sky. At the same time, a force of law descended from the sky, dispelling the power of the Heavenly Demon Star's human race and saving the Azure Water Dragon's life. Otherwise, with just this one attack, the Azure Water Dragon would have undoubtedly died.

"One strike? He defeated a dragon from the Southern Continent who was comparable to a late-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator? Just how big is the gap between them?" Both humans and demons were stunned by this guy's methods and strength.

"Clyde the Demon Star wins, and the human race gains one point." A notification rang in everyone's ears.

This can be considered a victory for the human race in its first battle, which made the human cultivators quite happy.

Regardless of what they look like, their rejection is an internal human issue, and it's still something to celebrate.

The demon race was far from happy; this first victory for the human race was going to have an impact on their morale.

"Hmph! So weak. Is this the strength of the demon race in the southern continent of Burial God Star?" Clyde sneered, then left the competition space. As soon as he returned to his seat, even Lin Aoxue glanced at him.

Clearly, this guy's strength has been recognized by Lin Aoxue.

"If this guy can fight me, I should be able to fight him without holding back," Lin Aoxue muttered.

Now let's look at the demon race.

"What a disgrace! You lost so badly. Hey, are you dragons from the Southern Continent too weak?" A dragon cultivator from the Eastern Continent couldn't help but complain about the dragons from the Southern Continent next door. The Southern Continent does have dragons, but they are mostly pure-blooded dragons.

The dragon clan powerhouses of the Southern Continent also looked quite displeased. This was a huge disgrace for the dragons; they were instantly killed by the human race. How could they not be ashamed?
