From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

The Nine Dragons Realm is known as one of the ten holy lands of the ancient demon immortal realm. Historically, it has produced nine true dragon immortals, all of whom chose this great world to advance their cultivation.

This results in this world being more than a hundred times larger than ordinary worlds, with its vast territory and abundant spiritual energy being unparalleled.

The Heavenly Dao of this realm was tamed by the Dragon Court long ago.

It condenses into an extremely special [Heavenly Dao Artifact - Nine Dragon Staff]. It is said that the one who wields this staff is the Lord of the Nine Dragon Realm, possessing combat power equivalent to a third-step True Immortal within this realm and the surrounding ten light-years of void.

Moreover, his methods are mysterious, and his words are lawful, making him seem omnipotent like a creator god. The Heavenly Dragon Assembly is held in the Nine Dragons Realm.

The dueling platform was placed in the void.

However, before the battle, they needed to settle down within the realm and complete the procedures for the start of the tournament. By the time Wang Yu and Princess Tianxiang arrived, most of the geniuses from the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm had already arrived.

The most illustrious among them was the True Dragon Daoist of the Dragon Court.

There are a total of eighteen people.

Each of them was a prodigy who had transcended tribulation and lived to be around ten thousand years old. They possessed the potential to become immortals and had mastered more than three kinds of Dao Fruits. They were naturally arrogant and almost never associated with other participants.

Wang Yu was most concerned about the participants in the Dragon Seed Race. Among the True Dragon Children, there were five that aroused his desire to devour.

The [Purple-Gold Dragon Son] is a true purple-gold dragon in its true form. Its bloodline composition is unknown, but it is most likely a mutated individual of the Golden Dragon lineage, with a cultivation level of the Third Tribulation.

【Mysterious Dragon Prince】A combination of Black Dragon bloodline and White Dragon bloodline. His true dragon form is like the interplay of Yin and Yang, displaying black and white colors. He possesses the cultivation of the Six Tribulations and is a top-tier figure among the dragon princes.

[Batian Dragon Son] is bloated and obese, and is suspected to be a hybrid true spirit of a red dragon and a Taotie. His bloodline is mutated, but he can also arouse Wang Yu's desire to devour him. He has the cultivation level of the fifth tribulation.

【Bai Linglongzi】Pure white dragon bloodline, male body with female appearance, top-tier appearance, but average strength, only at the third tribulation level.

But Wang Yu's desire to devour him was the strongest.

The last one is the [Star Abyss Dragon Child], whose dragon blood is mixed and seems to contain everything, but the main body should be some kind of "Starry Sky Dragon Seed", a fourth-tribulation cultivator.

Among the true dragon offspring from the Dragon Court, only these five could arouse Wang Yu's desire to devour them, while the mixed-blood dragon race, which held the top position, was far superior.

Most of the creatures on this path are demons who aspire to transform into dragons after birth.

There are crocodilians, ichthyosaurs, daphnia, earth dragons, kunzon, jiaolong, and many more, with no fewer than a hundred species, and more than a thousand people participating in the event.

There are also quite a few individuals among them that could arouse Wang Yu's desire to devour them, at least a dozen, a proportion far exceeding that of the True Dragon Dao Child group.

This made Wang Yu realize that replenishing his bloodline did not necessarily require high quality; what he needed most was the presence of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline components, which had nothing to do with strength.

As for the last track, which is purely for demon races.

Even if there were tens of thousands of them, Wang Yu had no interest in paying attention to them; individuals without dragon blood were of no value to him.

But Princess Tianxiang is competing in this very track, which is actually quite competitive. There are quite a few powerful demons in this race, including several peerless geniuses who have reached the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Unfortunately, in the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm, those without dragon blood are destined to be disregarded. However, even if someone is a mixed-blood, the Dragon Court has ways to continuously strengthen the part of them that belongs to the dragon race in order to become a True Dragon Child.

Ultimately, the body transforms into a dragon, primarily using the dragon bloodline within, while the remaining bloodlines become embellishments or tools and channels for acquiring greater power.

For example, the "Overlord Dragon Prince" regarded the Taotie bloodline in his body as a tool to covet the inheritance of that race. Before ascending to immortality, this part of the bloodline would definitely be cut off.

The various operations involved are numerous.

I understand everything I understand.

To be honest, the current Dragon Court gives Wang Yu the feeling of being a "Qilin Clan" because of the influence of the clan's Dao Fruit, which has caused bloodline mutations due to the various mysteries of the Dao Fruit.

This led to the creation of entirely new bloodline branches.

Some may only have one bloodline, while others can form entirely new bloodline branches, such as the Water Qilin, Fire Qilin, Earth Qilin, Gold Qilin... and even the Black Qilin, Void Qilin, and so on.

Dragons also exhibit a similar evolutionary trend.

In the earliest times, the dragon race was simply the dragon race, mostly consisting of three types: water dragons, black dragons, and white dragons. The five-clawed golden dragon bloodline was the most noble, and there were also powerful beings like the Yinglong.

Now... Crimson Dragon, Flame Dragon, Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon, Ghost Dragon, Black Dragon, Yellow Dragon, etc. are all true dragon species. This strange situation makes Wang Yu feel that the Dragon Court seems to have inherited the fortune of the Qilin Clan.

When one receives good fortune, it often means receiving the cause and effect along with it.

at that time.

As Wang Yu pondered whether there was a scheme orchestrated by the Heavenly Fortune Ancient Emperor behind this, Princess Tianxiang asked with considerable doubt.

"Huh, how come the 'fierce beast dragon sons' like Pixiu, Suanni, and Baxia, who have dragon blood but lack dragon form, from the nine sons of the dragon, have also been included in the demon race?"

Wang Yu took a look and it was indeed true.

After a careful examination, good heavens, he had a desire to devour all nine of the nine sons of the dragon. It turned out that the dragon bones that had settled in the Dragon Transformation Pool did not contain the bloodline of these dragon species.

Coming to the Heavenly Dragon Assembly was definitely the right decision.

With so many suitable targets appearing all at once, there's no need to kill them all. Obtaining a portion of the original true blood would be enough for Wang Yu to replenish himself.

He's a professional at using a blunt object to knock someone out.

With the Forget-Worry Gold Brick in hand as a safety net, there's no risk of excessive killing triggering a furious backlash from the Dragon Court. Besides, this Heavenly Dragon Assembly was originally intended to select the most talented individuals suitable to participate in the [Ten Thousand Laws Origin Assembly].

If they suffer a serious attack, they will inevitably suspect various hostile races. Last time, when the Qilin Immortal Mansion was opened, the Dragon Court extended goodwill to the entire universe.

It is not a wise choice to provoke these creatures.

Wang Yu pointed to the competition area.

"You may go ahead. I will go and sit in the spectator's seat. I estimate that Phoenix Palace will send Nine Phoenix Immortals to watch the match. Be careful not to reveal my location."

Princess Tianxiang looked puzzled upon hearing this.

But she quickly understood what Wang Yu meant. Right under her nose, Wang Yu, who had entered the spectator stands, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tianxiang: "???"

With such methods of transformation, it's no wonder they're not afraid of true immortals.

After transforming into a demon wolf, Wang Yu saw many powerful figures in the spectator stands. The lowest cultivation level was the Dao Integration stage, and most of them were in the Mahayana to Tribulation Transcending range.

The number of powerful figures from the Ancient Demon Realm attracted by the Heavenly Dragon Gathering exceeded one million. This sheer number secretly alarmed Wang Yu, as it far surpassed the strength of the human race.

No wonder the Dragon Court, like the Demon Realm, was hostile to many races, attracting even more hatred than the human race. The blood feuds accumulated by the human race arose from squeezing out the interests and living space of other races during its rise.

Dragon Court and Demon Realm are simply driven by their own impulsiveness and overbearing nature.

I'm not afraid of anyone.

They covet any resource they see, regardless of who their competitors are or whether the treasures have owners. They even try to seize resource worlds managed by other races themselves.

This is an act of forcibly seizing someone else's foundation and essence.

Humanity has made countless enemies in the Cosmic Sea. Although the human race is backed by the "Cosmic Sea Thirty-Three Immortal Cultivation Alliance," and there are internal rifts, they generally maintain a shared interest. Moreover, the number of thirty-three immortals was only the number at the time of its formation.

Over the years, the number of True Immortals in the alliance has far exceeded this number, with at least eight or nine new ones added, which has led to increasingly fierce competition within the alliance.

The same reason.

The emergence of new True Immortals has also divided the interests of the old Immortals, resulting in a situation where there isn't enough cake to go around, so it's natural to kick some alliance members out.

The Celestial Race targets the Human Race.

The ancient race's targeting of the Eight-Armed Clan and similar incidents occurred repeatedly within the alliance, which is also a manifestation of the impending cataclysm at the end of the era.

The entire cosmic ocean became restless.

The cultivators' personalities and strategies became increasingly radical and unreasonable; this is the so-called "calamity energy" affecting this world.

The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's resistance.

If one cultivates the mind, one can basically completely resist the negative effects of the calamity, and remain unmoved and as usual!
Closer to home.

Not long after Wang Yu finished marveling at the power of the Ancient Demon Realm, True Immortals began to arrive one after another. As expected, the Phoenix God Palace sent Nine Phoenix Immortals to attend.

On the Dragon Court side, the Nine Dragon Realm Lord and a Dragon Immortal from the Golden Dragon Clan were in charge of presiding over the selection process for this conference. In addition, a True Immortal from the Flood Dragon Clan was also present, along with a True Immortal who appeared to be a Flower Spirit who had attained enlightenment and called herself the "Demon Queen."

And the legitimate demon emperor of the ancient demon realm, the Seven Kill Demon Emperor!
Like the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor's realm is equivalent to that of a True Immortal. However, he cultivates ancient demonic arts, and his core philosophy is still the Immortal Dao, but he has made many changes based on his race.

Unfortunately, the orthodox demon race represented by the Demon Emperor is far less powerful than the Dragon Court. Despite being called an emperor, his status is below that of the Dragon Immortal, which is quite tragic.

Wang Yu vaguely knew that the Boundless Immortal Elder of the human race was an incarnation of the "Azure Emperor," and that his true self was hiding in the Ancient Demon Realm plotting something. Unfortunately, these were things he could not know.

After these true immortals descended, the Heavenly Dragon Gathering immediately began, and the competition of various cultivation skills unfolded in the Nine Dragon Realm. This part of the audience was relatively small, but it still accounted for one-third of the total.

The three arenas for the dueling were directly launched into the outer void. The Nine Dragons Realm Lord summoned tens of thousands of dueling platforms in one go, and the battle began immediately without any constraints or rules!
…………

…………

High-level combat emphasizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

However, the Heavenly Dragon Gathering is different. Cultivators need to show themselves as much as possible so that they can be noticed by the important figures of the Dragon Court and have the possibility of soaring to the top.

The most intense competition is on the Dragon Blood track.

These demons, whether halfway through their dragon transformation journey and lacking the resources to continue, or possessing only diluted dragon blood, all hope to utilize the Dragon Court's resources to advance further.

As a result, they all acted with extreme ruthlessness, as if they had some blood feud, aiming to destroy the opponent's primordial spirit with every move, making the level of bloodshed reach its maximum.

Young people like Wang Yu naturally felt itchy to take a look.

Such competitions are rare in the Demon Realm under the Demon Lord's rule. On the contrary, the other eight realms often hold ranking competitions, but they are all too mild. Wang Yu has spied on them a few times, but none of them are as exciting as those organized by the Dragon Court.

With ten thousand void arenas fighting simultaneously, the results were extremely fast, and many of Wang Yu's targets had already been severely injured and eliminated.

After not receiving any notification from the Dragon Court cultivators, most of them reluctantly left under the escort of their elders. Seeing this, Wang Yu stayed behind and said, "I will remain here to keep an eye on the situation."

The main body then hurriedly followed.

Once he's outside the ten-light-year range of the Nine Dragons Realm, that's his chance to make a move. With his strength, even if the opponent has a protector at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he could easily take them down with a single brick.

The spatial Dao Fruit has a great advantage in traversing the cosmic sea, which allowed Wang Yu to collect nearly twenty kinds of primordial blood in less than half a day, maximizing his efficiency.

Once the true blood of five True Dragon Dao Children is missing, the grand event's objective will be perfectly achieved.

Finally, a prodigy, unwilling to suffer humiliation, realized that his memories were incomplete and his body was missing a part of its origin, causing his already weakened body, weakened by defeat, to become even more powerless.

Regardless of self-respect, he immediately rushed back to the arena outside the Nine Dragons Realm to complain to the Nine Dragons Realm Master. The Master did not fly into a rage, but instead gave subtle instructions to his subordinates.

He looked every bit the part of someone fishing.

however.

Wang Yu saw all of this, but he remained calm. He was invincible as long as a True Immortal was not around, and he could take any bait, no matter how big.

That's his capital.

Besides, as long as the other party can't guess his purpose, even if they offer bait, it might not be what Wang Yu needs. Let them do what they want.

The facts were pretty much as Wang Yu had imagined.

As the ruler of this region, the Lord of the Nine Dragons Realm quickly checked the area and confirmed that the attack had occurred ten light-years away, and that the target had been located with such precision.

There is a high probability that there is an inside agent in the spectator seats.

They deliberately made movements to intimidate the other party, and then threw out bait to try to capture them. This was mainly to determine whether the enemy was a wandering demon cultivator or an enemy race.

Once the former is intimidated, they would never dare to make another move. However, if it is an enemy clan targeting them, that would be a different story.

have to say.

He did have a bit of clever thinking in him. This conservative approach was because the event was at a critical moment, after a large number of ordinary geniuses had been eliminated.

It almost turned into an internal war among the eighteen disciples of the Dragon Court.

Only three cultivators emerged from the other two tracks.

One is the "Blood Moon Dragon King," a descendant of the true immortal dragon, with a cultivation level of four tribulations.

The second is Princess Tianxiang, the young master of the Phoenix Palace. She crushed a second-tribulation golden tiger demon lord with her perfect Mahayana realm, shocking everyone and causing quite a stir. Anyone with eyes could see that this woman's understanding of the Nirvana Dao Fruit was already profound, probably even surpassing that of the Nine Phoenix Immortals.

The third is Qiongqi, one of the almost extinct Four Fiends, known as the "Extremely Evil Demon Lord". His origins are unknown, and he possesses the cultivation level of the Six Tribulations. He fought his way out of the orthodox demon race track with Princess Tianxiang.

In addition to the eighteen True Dragon Dao Sons, a total of twenty-one people will form the final lineup. Only the top ten who can participate in the Myriad Laws Origin Tournament will be selected, regardless of their cultivation level, only their combat power.

at that time.

The Flood Dragon Immortal said to the Nine Phoenix Immortal, "The young master of your palace has truly terrifying comprehension. At such a young age, she has already comprehended the Dao Fruit to this extent. I'm afraid even I am not as good as her. It's a bit of a pity that she married that [Red Cloud Dragon Prince]. If you nurture her properly, the Phoenix God Palace might be able to produce a third True Immortal."

These words were clearly meant to provoke, but Jiu Fengxian was disdainful of them.

She knew the situation at Phoenix Palace all too well. Pure bloodlines like the Fire Phoenix were only valuable as pawns. She would not allow Tianxiang to rise to power, not to mention the Palace Master.

When the Palace Master was a weak peacock, she suffered all kinds of humiliation from her own kind. She was even expelled from the Phoenix Clan and forbidden from using the Phoenix Clan's name in her actions. Otherwise, how could she be in her current situation?
Everything is just a cycle of cause and effect.

But on the surface, Jiu Fengxian smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. We newly promoted True Immortals are naturally not as strong as Tianxiang, who is a genius after becoming an Immortal. I also think that the Palace Master's decision was inappropriate. I will make suggestions when I go back."

The Flood Dragon Immortal laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist Jiufeng is indeed insightful. No wonder you were able to become a True Immortal. It's just that you have a strong fishy smell on you."

"What do you mean?" (End of Chapter)
