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

"Hehe, it seems the dragon race's heritage is really not good in the Southern Continent. I think it can't even compare to the dragon race in the Northern Continent." The dragons of the Western Continent also complained.

Dragons, regardless of which continent they come from, are all the same. They look down on everyone, even their own kind. If they embarrass themselves, they will still be looked down upon.

"What are you smug lizards from the Western Continent so proud of?" the powerful dragon from the Southern Continent immediately retorted.

They dared not challenge the dragons of the Eastern Continent, because the dragons of the Eastern Continent were the main lineage of the dragon race, while they were all branches.

Looking at the other seven arenas, the situation wasn't as extreme. There were no more one-hit kills, but there were three groups of ten-star versus nine-star opponents, which were still overwhelming battles with no chance of winning. This shows that there is still a real difference in strength.

In the final round of the first phase, the Nirvana Battlefield, eight matches were played, and the Human race scored 3 points while the Demon race scored 5 points.

In other words, although the human race of Tianmo Star achieved its first victory, the demon race still held the advantage in the Nirvana-level battlefield.

The cultivators on the demon side laughed when they saw this scene.

"Heh, it seems that getting the first victory is of no use." A demon clan leader mocked.

"What's the rush? This is only the first round of the Nirvana-level battlefield. Besides, there are still the Four Extremes Battlefield and the Divine Transformation-level battlefield. It's not too late to mock them after the results of those two battlefields are out, otherwise you might get slapped in the face." The Holy Lord of the human race also said, not to be outdone.

After a while, the results of the Four Extremes Battlefield and the Divine Transformation Battlefield were also announced: 6 to 4 in the Four Extremes Battlefield and 5 to 5 in the Divine Transformation Battlefield.

The human race has a total of 14 points across the three battlefields, and the demon race also has 14 points.

In other words, the human race suffered losses in the Nirvana-level battlefield, but gained advantages in the other two battlefields.

"Hahaha, I told you not to be so smug. It seems the average quality of your Four Extremes cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators isn't very high." The human side started mocking the demon race after seeing that the scores were tied.

As for the demon race, they were like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express their suffering, because the demon race's four extremes and Nascent Soul level participants were all very young cultivators, but the human race was a different story.

Chapter 830 Starry Sky Beast

Demon cultivators have a high starting point but a slow growth process. They often need at least three thousand years to truly enter maturity. In other words, demons under three thousand years old are considered minors.

Like the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, they possess cultivation levels from the Dao Palace to the Four Extremes level upon birth. This means that the demon races in the Four Extremes Battlefield and the Divine Transformation Battlefield are mostly underage demon races.

But humans at this stage are already quite mature. Even so-called young cultivators, as long as they don't stay in a greenhouse all year round, will not have too little combat experience.

Therefore, the demon race is easily disadvantaged by a lack of combat experience.

Furthermore, in battles at this level, the enhancement provided by treasures to cultivators is significant. Unlike the Nirvana level, where demons possess Nirvana-level physical strength, human magic treasures of the same level do not exert the same suppressive power on them as those at the Four Extremes or the Nascent Soul stage.

"Since it's a draw, what are you humans so proud of? The final outcome is still uncertain," a powerful figure from the demon race complained.

After exchanging words for a while, the leaders of the two clans quieted down because the second round of the competition was about to begin. This competition adopted a rotation system, and the second round would only begin after all eight groups of cultivators in the three venues had finished their matches.

For the higher-ups of both races, they would prefer to encounter battles where the opponents are evenly matched. Only in this way would they feel that losing is not a matter of luck. There are four levels, from nine stars to twelve stars. If a nine-star encounters a twelve-star, the only way to win is to have some unexpected abilities in addition to your own.

"Sigh! I hope I get matched soon. Sitting here watching is so boring. It would be really satisfying to be matched with an opponent who can force me to use all my skills," Ye Liuyun sighed.

Ye Liuyun's entire strategy was to use single targets in combination with combat.

As for the treasures, she probably won't be able to use them, because the current restriction requires that the treasures be activated with one's own power, and with Ye Liuyun's power, it's simply impossible for her to activate any powerful treasures, let alone Heaven-rank magic treasures, not even Spirit-rank magic treasures.

Unless the cultivation world invents a magical artifact that can control treasures with qi someday—which would probably take forever—most weapon refiners wouldn't spend their entire lives researching such a thing, because it's not worth the effort and would be quite useless.

If the activation method of magical artifacts is not restricted in this competition, it will be very disadvantageous to the demon race. Human cultivators can borrow magical artifacts from their elders that can be fully revived, which would be an unsolvable blow to the demon race.

Although the competition is not subject to any restrictions, since it is a competition, there are bound to be rules and regulations. The demon race likes to act recklessly, but they also understand when to act recklessly and when to use their brains.

In fact, the demon race has been researching magical artifacts for years, trying to develop artifacts that can be powered by demonic energy, but they have made no progress. The demon race's power is too violent and difficult to use for controlling artifacts.

Furthermore, they lacked knowledge of weapon crafting, and the weapon crafting techniques they had acquired from humans were completely unusable for them.

Currently, the demon race can only use pure weapons and imperial weapons. However, only a few demon races currently use pure weapons. For example, the monkey race likes to use sticks, and the dragon race likes to use spears. These are weapons made of hard materials, not magical artifacts.

Weapons can be magical artifacts, but magical artifacts cannot be weapons.

"Mom, I've never seen you use pills at full strength in all these years. I really want to see it," Ye Qingxue said expectantly.

"Hehe, yes, but the prerequisite is that I need to be matched with a powerful opponent. For me, if physical strength can solve the problem, there's no need to use those pills. After all, pills cost money." Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue turned her gaze to Lin Aoxue.

"Mother, I'm just curious, can you beat me when I'm using all my elixirs?" Ye Qingxue had always been curious about who was stronger, her mother or her mother.

These words made Lin Aoxue ponder for a moment.

“If your mother is willing to do anything, I don’t think she can lose, not even me.” Lin Aoxue shook her head.

For someone who is immortal, losing is impossible.

"This? Really? Even you can't beat him? How strong must Mom be?" Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue became even more curious about Ye Liuyun's full strength.

Ye Liuyun has grown too fast over the years, possessing numerous treasures, and rarely relies solely on his own abilities to fight others anymore.

But this time, there will definitely be enough pressure to give Ye Liuyun a satisfying battle.

As the venue darkened again, the second round of matchmaking began.

As the lights moved across the back seats, they stopped after ten seconds, and the eight contestants for the second round were determined.

This time, Ye Liuyun finally had someone he knew. A red light fell on the crowd from the Immortal Realm and locked onto Yin Tong.

Upon seeing that she had been matched with someone, Yin Tong immediately stood up triumphantly.

"Haha, I apologize, Your Excellency, and everyone else, I'll be going upstairs now." Yin Tong greeted them with a smile and then disappeared from her seat.

"Hey? Is this guy that lucky? He got selected in the second round. It's outrageous. I'm thinking of using my special privileges to get in through the back door," Ye Liuyun complained unhappily.

If Ye Liuyun wanted to, she could indeed manipulate the laws here and make them choose her to participate, but for the sake of fairness, she refrained from doing so.

Looking at the eight groups of cultivators selected, there are six nine-star cultivators, three ten-star cultivators, and one eleven-star cultivator. Yin Tong is the highest-ranked cultivator in this group, being an eleven-star cultivator.

His opponent was an extraterrestrial demon, a rare race called the Star-Eating Beast. It was said that these creatures fed on stars, were born from the core of stars, and each birth meant the destruction of a life-bearing planet.

This Star-Devouring Beast is rated at ten stars, which seems inferior to Yin Tong.

“Human cultivator from the Eastern Continent, you are the opponent I wish to fight.” Standing before Yin Tong was a young man with golden pupils. It was normal for demons to have heterochromatic eyes, but the problem was that this guy’s pupils were filled with a radiance like a galaxy of stars, as if there was a universe in his eyes.

He was looking at Yin Tong with a fierce fighting spirit.

Clearly, he was not afraid of encountering an eleven-star powerhouse; on the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit.

"Yin Tong from the Immortal Realm of Immortality, please enlighten me." Yin Tong directly stated her origins.

"Oh, the organizer of this competition should be able to give it their all in this battle. Star Devourer Clan, Devourer of Heaven, comes from beyond the heavens." The young Star Devourer Clan member also introduced himself.

Yin Tong and the cultivators outside were all confused after hearing that the other party was a member of the Star Devourer Clan.

Because not many people know about this race.

However, the demon race definitely knows about it.

"The Star Devourer Clan? I didn't expect that even such a rare and uncommon race would appear in this competition. It seems that the outcome of this competition is still uncertain. Perhaps our demon race will be able to win against all odds." The Dragon Emperor couldn't help but feel smug.

The other demon clan leaders also looked very confident.

The human race was completely bewildered, and one of their powerful members asked a question out of curiosity.

"Do you know the origins of the Star Devourer Clan?"

The demon race certainly wouldn't tell the human race on their own initiative, but if there were any powerful beings from beyond the heavens among the human race present, some cultivators would definitely have heard about it.

Sure enough, an extraterrestrial human who appeared fairly normal answered after a moment's thought.

"I seem to have heard of the Star Devourer Clan. They are also called Starry Sky Beasts. They are strange beasts born from stars. Their lineage is unknown. All we know is that they can only be born on stars with abundant life force. And each birth means that a life-bearing star will be destroyed. Therefore, they are also known as the Beasts of Annihilation."

Once these words were spoken, they stopped asking how powerful the Starry Sky Beast was; the very manner of its birth was terrifying.

"The unknown demon race, I wonder if Tong'er can win this match," Xue Qingwu muttered with some worry.

With the eight groups of players from the three venues finally reunited, the battles began one after another.

After staring at Shitian for a while, Yin Tong's eyes began to change. His Eternal Double Pupils suddenly appeared, and the next moment, eyes rapidly appeared around Shitian, shooting out beams of golden light that blasted towards Shitian.

This attack came almost without warning, and coupled with Yin Tong's Reincarnation Realm cultivation, he was more than capable of easily contending with a Tribulation Realm cultivator.

This attack struck so hard that many cultivators present, whether demons or humans, felt they could neither defend against it nor block it.

For many cultivators, their normal attacks are already the maximum limit for other cultivators.

However, this powerful attack failed to achieve its intended effect.

Because the attack passed right through Shitian's body the moment it hit him, making him seem as if he had no physical form and had turned into air.

The golden light riddled the area around him with holes, but unfortunately, Devourer of Heaven was unharmed.

"What? It went right through?" The humans exclaimed in surprise.

Yin Tong was stunned. This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent, who stood still and made the opponent's attack miss.

"What kind of ability is this? Does it make the body ethereal?" Yin Tong muttered to herself.

Facing an opponent whose abilities were unknown, he instinctively felt some apprehension.

As Shitian looked at the holes around Siji's feet, he was calm but also somewhat solemn, because he could feel that if this force hit him, he would be riddled with holes. In other words, he did not believe that his defense could withstand Yin Tong's attack.

"Such a powerful attack! A casual move possesses such terrifying power. This guy is extraordinary, especially those eyes," Shitian muttered to himself as he looked at Yin Tong.

After this attack, Yin Tong did not choose to continue attacking, because he had not yet figured out his opponent's abilities. Rashly attacking would only expose his weaknesses to his opponent. Since his attack was ineffective, he might as well let his opponent attack first.

Seeing that Yin Tong had stopped attacking after her strike, Shi Tian pondered for a moment and then slowly merged with the void, disappearing from Yin Tong's sight. Even Yin Tong's double pupils could not detect her whereabouts.

"Disappeared? Where?" Yin Tong frowned deeply, using his special power to be vigilant in all directions. He knew that ordinary concealment techniques were useless against him. The fact that it could hide right under his double pupils meant that it was no ordinary concealment technique.

Just as Yin Tong was on guard, he suddenly felt a force attacking him from behind, so he quickly took defensive measures.

Unfortunately, the force was too strong. The opponent punched his defensive barrier, causing it to collapse. Yin Tong spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing into a mountain range.

All of this happened very suddenly; the one who attacked Yin Tong was naturally Shi Tian.

After finishing his attack, the Devourer of Heaven reappeared from the void. This guy's method was neither spatial nor stealth; he seemed to be able to blend into his environment.

"What a bizarre method! It actually managed to deceive Yin Tong's double pupils. You know, even my spatial jump couldn't escape Yin Tong's detection." Ye Liuyun was greatly surprised.

He felt that Yin Tong had probably encountered a formidable opponent.

Judging from the attack that Devourer of Heaven just now, although this guy is only a ten-star, his strength should not be inferior to Yin Tong's. This ranking is based on three things: the current physical cultivation level, potential and aptitude. It does not include special abilities or external strength.

“It’s really strange. There was no warning at all. Even I only sensed the power fluctuation the moment he made his move. But by the time he made his move, it was too late. That last move should have made Elder Yin Tong very uncomfortable,” Lin Aoxue said.

In other words, we need to find a way to counter the opponent's ability, otherwise we will easily be on the defensive.

Looking at Yin Tong again, although the attack injured him, it wasn't a particularly serious injury. He quickly emerged from the ruins, looking at Shi Tian with a wary expression, while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Impressive! An attack without warning, a stealthy technique that even I couldn't see through," Yin Tong couldn't help but praise her opponent.

This is the second time in many years that he has encountered a formidable opponent. The first was Ye Liuyun, who was quite a headache back then. Now he has met another troublesome guy.

Since his double pupils couldn't see through the other party's methods, he had no choice but to give up using them to observe, otherwise his special ability would become a burden.

"Hehe! Continue." The Devourer took a step back and disappeared again.

Yin Tong closed her eyes the moment the other person disappeared.

"Calm down. Since it's neither a common stealth technique nor a spatial ability, it should be the same ability as before that allows the physical body to become ethereal. There was still a power fluctuation when he made his move. This guy can only become ethereal and invisible in a static state. Once he makes a move, he will be revealed." Yin Tong's thoughts quickly went through his mind.

He had already suffered a loss once in a battle of this caliber, and he absolutely could not afford to suffer a second one.

“Here.” Yin Tong closed his eyes and used his inner eye to sense it. Sure enough, the moment the other party made his move, he suddenly looked to the side. At the same time, a dazzling energy burst out from his eyes. This energy generated an extremely strong impact, which blasted the newly appeared Devouring Heaven away.

This Devourer of Heaven never expected that his ability would be detected by the person in front of him after he had only used it once, and this power made him very uncomfortable.

"Boom." Yin Tong used all her strength in this attack, wanting to seize the opportunity to decide the outcome in one blow.

However, a surprising scene unfolded. Not long after being thrown out, Devourer suddenly opened his mouth, which was like a black hole, and actually absorbed the power released by Yin Tong.

Yin Tong felt her power being devoured, and immediately stopped releasing it.

"What? It devoured my power! What kind of monster is this?" Yin Tong's pupil technique was broken, and blood immediately flowed out. He couldn't help but reach out and cover his eyes.

The technique he just used can only be used once in a short period of time. This move not only generates great impact, but also immobilizes the opponent, preventing them from escaping. He originally intended to use this move to break the opponent's invisibility technique, but who knew that the opponent could also absorb the power he released.

"That was close, I almost got hit." After devouring Yin Tong's power, Shitian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

If he can't break through that attack just now, this match will probably be over.

"It can even devour the pupil technique power released by Yin Tong? Damn it, this guy is really hard to deal with. Even if I went up there, it would be difficult for me." The cultivators on the side of the Immortal Realm of Longevity all knew Yin Tong's abilities, but now the opponent was suffering losses one after another.

Yin Tong had no choice. Before he could break through the opponent's ability, he had to play it safe and not keep wasting his strength and taking hits passively. He raised his hand, and a seven-colored glass pagoda flew out of his body and floated above his head. The pagoda released seven-colored light that enveloped him.

This is a defensive magic weapon; it will be detected as soon as an enemy gets close. It is also a top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon.

"Heh, it seems your human race is no good, you've started using high-quality magic weapons." The demon race seized the opportunity to mock again.

The human race was speechless. Once they used magical artifacts, it meant that they could no longer win by their own strength.
