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

After demonstrating his power, Ye Liuyun continued speaking.

"Alright, I'm sure you all have a certain understanding of my cultivation level. Now, I'd like to explain why I, as a body cultivator, can unleash such a massive amount of fire-attribute power."

After speaking, Ye Liuyun, under the watchful eyes of everyone, took out several pills that he had used not long ago.

"Please look, everyone. This is a pill refined by the Eastern Human Race of the Burial God Star. However, the pill I have in my hand is a special pill of my own, a pill for combat. This pill allows me to master fire attribute power for a certain period of time. This pill allows me to precisely control fire attribute power, and this pill can enhance the fire attribute power I release..."

Ye Liuyun acted like a salesman, promoting his specially refined pills. He even demonstrated the power of these pills on the spot. Only then did everyone realize that the fire-attribute attacks Ye Liuyun had released earlier were all powered by these pills.

After showing the pills, Ye Liuyun spoke again.

"Alright, everyone has seen it, right? This is the power of the pills, not my own power. As an alchemist, there's nothing wrong with me using the pills I've made. Besides, this competition doesn't prohibit these things. As for the method I used at the end, it was also a pill, but it was the destructive power generated by fusing pills."

After explaining, Ye Liuyun ignored everyone's expressions and left.

After reading Ye Liuyun's explanation, Malak sat down abruptly, speechless. What could he possibly say now that things had come to this?

If you continue, it will only make you more embarrassed and unwilling to admit defeat.

Ye Liuyun's explanation was very clear: his own strength was indeed not high, but he had other means to enhance his combat power. After all, the competition did not say that he could only use his own strength and that no other power was allowed. There was no such restriction, and this was agreed upon by the high-ranking officials of both races, not a rule set by the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

Since you've come to participate in this competition, you should understand the rules. As long as you don't break the rules, even if it's outrageous, it's fine. If you feel it's unfair, you can choose not to participate. It's that simple.

After the farce ended, the competition would definitely continue, but Ye Liuyun felt that she hadn't had enough. She had to admit that Malak had greatly restricted her, making it impossible for her to truly spar with others, and she could only rely on her own pills to cheat.

After all, if she cheated, she would be invincible and no one could beat her. Most of the time, when she sparred with others, it was purely up to Ye Liuyun herself. If she thought it was fun, she would play longer; if she didn't, she would end it sooner.

Actually, she really wanted to play with Malakdo, but the problem was that his special abilities left her with no way to exert her strength, so she could only rely on pills to fight.

"This guy is probably going to be furious with you. You've essentially beaten her and then humiliated her as well," Lin Aoxue whispered.

Ye Liuyun was embarrassed when his wife complained about him.

"I can't help it. If this guy weren't immune to physical attacks, I could have played with him more. But you saw what happened just now. Apart from being afraid of fire and lightning, he's not afraid of anything else. He's an absolute freak," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Aoxue felt like saying, "Who could be more of a freak than you?"

Chapter 835 The Demon Race Takes the Lead (5000 words)

The first day of the competition ended quickly. On the first day, the demon race was temporarily in the lead. This shows that the demon race is generally stronger than the human race in one-on-one combat at the same level.

Humans at the same cultivation level find it difficult to confront demons head-on without using magical treasures or external forces.

Even if a human cultivator at the Nirvana Realm of Life and Death possesses a high-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon, it's hard to say they can easily defeat a demon cultivator at the mid-stage of Nirvana, because the Nirvana Realm of humans and the mid-stage of Nirvana of demons are not actually on the same level.

The upper limit of the mid-stage Nirvana realm for the demon race is the Reincarnation Realm, and the later stage is the Thunder Tribulation Realm, the peak Celestial Realm, and the Life and Death Realm. Only humans with top-grade Heaven-rank magic treasures can reliably defeat the mid-stage Nirvana realm of the demon race.

Once you reach the Nirvana Realm, the power of magical artifacts is no longer as strong as that of the Four Extremes Secret Realm and the Transformation Mystic Realm.

Even a fully revived top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon is only equivalent to a Reincarnation Realm cultivator in terms of combat power. If a Reincarnation Realm cultivator wields a top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon, they can fight against a Tribulation Realm cultivator, but they cannot suppress them.

This is one of the reasons why humans are at a disadvantage in one-on-one combat. It should be noted that a demon race in the late Nirvana stage can easily deal with two humans of the same level, and this gap is difficult to bridge even with magical treasures.

Only those human cultivators with special physiques can close this gap; it's too difficult for ordinary cultivators.

Of course, the humans with special physiques did not defeat the demons by relying on the magic power and laws they cultivated; rather, they relied entirely on the special abilities of their special physiques.

Take Lin Aoxue's Immortal Body as an example. The strength of this physique lies in its various special powers. What Lin Aoxue cultivated herself were the wind attribute laws and sword intent. These are the things she cultivated. The rest can only be said to be a gift from heaven.

Among the entire human race, cultivators possessing these special physiques are extremely rare. Of the ten thousand human participants, only a few thousand possess relatively strong special physiques. The rest, even if they possess special physiques, cannot significantly enhance their combat power.

After the first day of competition, the leaders of both races summoned the remaining participating cultivators and those who had advanced to their respective rest areas for a discussion. They were definitely going to summarize their combat experience from the day, and the human race did the same.

For example, they need to pay attention to those people and analyze whether any of them are cultivators capable of defeating the strong individuals from the human race.

"Gentlemen, although our demon race currently holds the advantage, the problem is that a few strange freaks have emerged on the human side. Do any of you think you can defeat Lin Aoxue and that Ye Liuyun?" the Dragon Emperor asked.

The biggest oddballs on the first day were Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun; the rest weren't that strange.

None of the demon cultivators who advanced today expressed their opinions, which shows that they also lack confidence. Faced with absolute power, even those strange demons from beyond the heavens would find it difficult to deal with. Lin Aoxue defeated a ten-star demon in one move, something that many of the eleven-star cultivators present could not do.

The most outstanding member of the demon race today is Devourer of the Star Devouring Clan, Devourer of Heaven. He is the only demon cultivator who has defeated a stronger opponent, so he will naturally receive extra attention from the demon race's higher-ups.

Seeing that no demon clan had expressed their opinion, the demon clan leaders turned their attention to Devouring Heaven.

"Fellow Daoist of the Star Devouring Clan, are you confident in dealing with Lin Aoxue or Ye Liuyun?" the Dragon Emperor asked.

The Devourer of Heaven did not give an immediate reply, but instead lowered his head and thought for a moment.

“I don’t know anything about Lin Aoxue’s background, so I can’t give an accurate answer. But judging from the fact that she defeated a ten-star demon cultivator in one move, she’s probably hard to deal with. I only have a 20-30% chance of winning. As for Ye Liuyun, to be honest, I couldn’t possibly block her last move. If I were to encounter her, my chances of winning would be practically zero,” Shitian replied.

In other words, in his opinion, Lin Aoxue was easier to deal with than Ye Liuyun.

The demon race's higher-ups were extremely troubled by Ye Liuyun's final blow.

"It's unimaginable that pills refined by humans can be used like this. If everyone could use the pills refined by Ye Liuyun, it would be a disaster for our demon race," a powerful demon said with a frown.

On the other side, in a rather special palace, most of the divine cultivators who had not gone to the outer heavens or had returned from the outer heavens were sitting in this even more magnificent palace.

They naturally wanted to watch the competition and see how many brilliant talents would emerge in future generations after they were gone.

In today's match, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were truly the two most unpredictable opponents.

"I've heard that Lin Aoxue is now the number two figure in the Immortal Realm of Longevity. What exactly is her relationship with Ye Liuyun? Does anyone know? Oh, Fellow Daoist Taibai, you should know, right?" A human god looked at Li Bai.

Li Bai chuckled and then uttered a statement that shocked everyone present.

"Oh, those two? They're a married couple, didn't you know?" Li Bai replied with a smile.

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

"Oh, a married couple? Ah? No, a married couple? You mean Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue are a married couple..." The cultivators present realized what was going on after hearing this, and then showed an incredulous expression.

Li Bai, on the other hand, remained as calm as ever.

“Yes, they are a married couple. They even have a child. Ye Qingxue is their biological daughter,” Li Bai replied.

This answer was even more frightening.

"What? That Chaos Body Ye Qingxue is their biological daughter? Fellow Daoist Taibai, you're not joking, are you? Although I know some female cultivators have sexual orientation issues and like the same sex, the problem is I've never seen two female cultivators have a child, let alone a biological one." The human race's divine path expert was a bit confused by Li Bai's words.

While the demon race was surprised, they weren't overly astonished, because some demons, even the males, could reproduce asexually through special means.

"I'm not kidding. Let me tell you something earth-shattering. This story goes back to before the Nine Heavens Domain was even born, about five hundred years ago..." Li Bai began to recount the extraordinary phenomena that occurred in the Southern Ridge back then.

The powerful figures present were all extremely shocked to learn that such a celestial phenomenon had occurred in the Nine Heavens Domain, causing the gender of living beings to be reversed.

"Is this really true? This is quite rare. Although cultivators can control a portion of the laws of heaven and earth starting from the Nirvana Realm, and if they wish, those in the Nirvana Five Elements Realm can change their gender, of course, they can only change their appearance, not their inner nature. But to change the gender of all the creatures in an area, even a Heavenly Abyss expert probably couldn't do that, right?" Everyone was both surprised and puzzled.

Li Bai couldn't answer this question because the Heavenly Ancestor and the others had their genders fundamentally reversed. Even if they could become men again through the power of the Nirvana Secret Realm, they would still be women at heart, so it was meaningless.

"Anyway, that's how things are. As for what exactly happened, I don't know either. But I'm not lying to you. If you want to investigate, you can find out," Li Bai said again.

Alright, now that we've come this far, it's impossible for everyone to go out of their way to investigate this matter. First of all, Li Bai has no reason to lie to them. It's just that, in their eyes, this matter is truly too unbelievable.

"So, the Feathered One had a daughter with another woman who was a Chaos One. It seems like there's not a single normal person in this family. I don't know if they're envious or what," the human cultivators sighed.

The powerful figures on the demon race's side looked rather unnatural, because this was not good news for them. First of all, in terms of aptitude, the best among them was definitely Long Lingyun, but Long Lingyun was only eleven stars, still no match for Lin Aoxue.

As for Ye Liuyun, the Heavenly Dragon Demon God knew about the relationship between Long Lingyun and Ye Liuyun, so he simply couldn't win the argument.

"It's over, how can we compete like this? Lin Aoxue is already a headache enough, and then there's Ye Liuyun and the future powerhouse Ye Qingxue. Sigh! It seems that our demon race is probably no match for us in this era. We might as well just give up on this competition." A demon god said dejectedly.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, there is really not much hope.

While the human gods were pleased, the situation of the Immortal Realm's absolute dominance had already been established, and how to restrain it in the future was the question they needed to consider.

But if Lin Aoxue becomes the next Heavenly Emperor, then all of this becomes meaningless.

Meanwhile, on the human race's side, things were bustling. The cultivators present were showering each other with flattery, praising either Lin Aoxue or Ye Liuyun.

"Lord Ye, you created these pills yourself, don't you plan to sell them? Or rather, can others use these pills?" Some Holy Lords began to have designs on Ye Liuyun's pills.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, then looked at the Jin family head.

The Jin family head naturally understood Ye Liuyun's meaning, and he stood up.

"Fellow Daoists, you may not know this, but Lord Ye's pills have been on the market for a long time, and they've been selling very well. I'm not afraid to tell you, almost all the special pills that my Wanbaolou has sold over the years are made by Lord Ye. I'm sure many of you in the Flying Immortal Domain have bought them, right?" the Jin family head reminded him.

As soon as Patriarch Jin uttered these words, the leaders of the various forces in the Flying Immortal Domain all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"This? So those pills whose source couldn't be found were actually made by Lord Ye? Does that mean Lord Ye was already selling these pills through the Myriad Treasures Pavilion before he even appeared in the Nine Heavens Domain?" Wu Bingyuan, the leader of the Dao Alliance, was even more shocked.

This secret is no longer a secret to Ye Liuyun; he's told it without hesitation.

"Haha, not bad, it really is from my hand. At that time, I was just a cultivator from a small sect. I never expected that the pills I created would sell so well. If you are interested, after the duel between the two races, I can hold a pill auction at the Wanbao Pavilion in the Immortal Realm to sell the pills I have refined."

"As for whether to circulate it in the normal pill market, I'm sorry, no one but me can refine this pill," Ye Liuyun said.

These faction leaders each had their own ulterior motives. They weren't particularly interested in ordinary pills, but they were quite interested in the pills Ye Liuyun used in battle today, especially the final core pill. Its power was comparable to a full-force attack from a Celestial Realm cultivator. If it could be mass-produced, it would be a formidable weapon.

"Oh? Then I'm curious to ask, what exactly is the principle behind the fusion pill that Lord Ye used last during the day?" the Lord of the Undying Dynasty asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun's eyes darted around, and without much hesitation, she explained the principle behind her fusion of pills.

"The fusion of these pills is based on the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, but the key is still in the pills themselves. This is my secret, and I cannot tell you all about it." Ye Liuyun's words were essentially meaningless.

Ordinary pills certainly wouldn't have such an effect.

This is Ye Liuyun's original elixir. Since Ye Liuyun didn't say anything, they couldn't force him to. However, they had already decided to try to get some back and find the alchemists in their faction to decipher it.

The Flying Immortal Realm has several god-level alchemists, and they don't believe there's any elixir that a god-level alchemist can't crack.

After discussing Ye Liuyun's matter, they began to discuss the struggle against the demon race.

"This? Forget it, let's not talk about these things now. We can leave them until after the duel. Lord Ye, let's talk about the situation on the demon race's side first. Our human race's total score is lagging behind." Someone quickly changed the subject.

If they continue to talk about Ye Liuyun's pills, it will easily arouse Ye Liuyun's suspicion.

But in reality, Ye Liuyun wasn't worried about the pills at all.

"It's only the first day. I don't think you all need to worry so much. Besides, even if the demon race wins the duel, it's still unknown whether they can truly become the masters of this Burial God Star. I think you should all keep a calm mind," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

However, Ye Liuyun's words made many powerful figures curse in their hearts.

"You're definitely not worried, right? The most promising person to become the next Heavenly Emperor is all on your side," someone thought to themselves.

Their conversation didn't really amount to anything, and it eventually turned into an exchange conference for cultivators from different regions.

After all, the cultivators from beyond the heavens are very interested in the Burial God Star, and the cultivators on the Burial God Star are equally interested in the cultivators from beyond the heavens.

The cultivators from beyond the heavens recounted the plight and current situation of the human race on their planet, covering a wide range of stories.

Some human races are currently the rulers of their respective stars, while others are still competing with the demon races of those stars for living space. Those who can come to this Burial God Star to participate in the duel between the two races are basically the best of their respective stars.

As Ye Liuyun listened to the extraterrestrial humans' story, he felt quite conflicted. Compared to the living conditions of humans on many other planets, the humans on Burial God Star were practically living in paradise.

They talked for nearly three hours before the meeting ended, and then everyone went home to rest.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue returned to their residence in the Immortal Realm of Immortality. Ye Liuyun's valley has now been basically given to the Lin and Ye families, and she and Lin Aoxue are living in the Heavenly Venerable Hall.

"Ah, I've finally dealt with these scheming fellows." Ye Liuyun walked towards the bathhouse as soon as he entered the palace gate.

The bath was originally empty, but Ye Liuyun snapped his fingers and the array controlling the bath was immediately activated. In less than a few seconds, the bath was filled with warm water.

Ye Liuyun took off his clothes and went inside to take a comfortable bath.

Lin Aoxue, who came back with her, couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ye Liuyun's rude behavior.

"Sigh! After being a woman for so many years, I still haven't changed your rude behavior." Lin Aoxue gracefully took off her clothes and went inside as well.

As soon as she came down, Ye Liuyun immediately swam over with a smile, letting Lin Aoxue lean against her and lie in her arms.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, if I were to completely become a woman, that wouldn't be a good thing, would it?" Ye Liuyun rubbed his body against Lin Aoxue rhythmically.

This was no less than a massage for Lin Aoxue; only Lin Aoxue could enjoy such treatment.

Ye Liuyun was happy, and so was she.

"Mmm, be gentle, don't use so much force." Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, enjoying Ye Liuyun's care.

Ye Liuyun chuckled incessantly. Their bodies were incredibly elastic, and when they collided with each other, it was like two QQ candies.

A few minutes...

"Hey, my queen, shouldn't you come and serve your husband? You can't just enjoy yourself all by yourself," Ye Liuyun demanded.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it," Lin Aoxue replied.

Not long after Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Ye Liuyun's soft, uncontrollable laughter echoed from the palace.

The night passed just like that.

The next day, all the cultivators who had advanced and those who had not yet competed returned to the competition space. There were fewer cultivators sitting in the back row today, as some had been eliminated. However, the first round of individual sparring was not yet over. With a total of 20,000 people from both races, at least 10,000 had to be eliminated before the next round could begin.

"Everyone, today is the second day of the duel between the two races. Yesterday, the demon race had the lead in total points over the human race, so let's continue the competition." Xue Qingwu announced the start of today's competition on behalf of the organizers.
