This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Jiang Liu: He's trying to sow discord.

[General Yang: No matter what, our Taiyao tribe will not side with the NPCs.]

[Night Sakura: Can't NPCs just behave like monsters? Why do they have to add so much drama to themselves?]

[Jiang Liu: There are only three NPCs at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm, no need to waste time.]

Jiang Liu closed the chat window, raised the Hunling Tianyuan Sword, aimed it at the NPCs, and started casting.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"The Demonic Sword Slashes Across the Heavens!"

"Ultimate King Seiya Fist!"

five minutes later.

Elders of the Azure Sword Sect, Elder of the Flower Remnant Valley, and Elder of the Blood Dragon Sect are all dead!

With perfect fusion, there's nothing to fear!

The remaining righteous disciples were terrified when they saw that the three elders had been killed in just a few hundred rounds. They didn't dare to stay any longer and turned to flee out of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

But the disciples of Taiyao and Taiye City had already surrounded them!

Players from Taiyao blocked the left path; players from Taiye City blocked the right exit.

Amidst the flashing swords and clashing blades, screams of agony rose and fell.

Some disciples had only taken two steps when they were pierced through the chest by longswords. Others tried to go around from the side but were hit in the face by skills. In less than half an incense stick's time, the first floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower returned to calm, leaving only bloodstains, broken weapons and scattered sect robes.

"All done, let's go."

Jiang Liu sheathed the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword, clapped his hands as if he had only done a trivial matter, nodded to Ye Longying and General Yang, and turned to leave without any hesitation.

A wave of demons and the Ten Thousand Demon Tower provided him with a large amount of cultivation points. Now the cultivation point progress bar is more than halfway done. It is estimated that after another ten days or half a month of grinding, he will be able to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

His current cultivation point acquisition efficiency is simply too high; his leveling speed is comparable to riding a rocket!
After leaving the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons, Jiang Liu returned to the main game interface, opened the anniversary event, and accessed the anniversary event shop.

During the Demon Tide and the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons, he managed to farm tens of millions of celebration fragments. It wasn't enough to empty the event shop, but it should be enough to buy all the limited-time items.

I've bought all the anniversary limited-edition items, so I'm not in a hurry to buy the rest, since there's not much good stuff left anyway.

"Emmm, I don't want anything else in the event shop, so what should I do next?"

Jiang Liu looked a little lost, unsure of what to do next.

What did I do before the anniversary event and the cross-server exchange event?

"Oh right, the Nine-Layer Demon Realm!"

Jiang Liu suddenly realized that he hadn't finished clearing the nine levels of the Demon Realm yet!
Before the cross-server event, with the help of a group of female NPCs, he successfully pushed to the eighth floor of the nine-layered Demon Realm, leaving only the ninth floor to be cleared.

He was previously at the Nascent Soul stage and didn't have the strength to challenge the ninth level of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

But now, he is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
The breakthrough benefits for reaching the Divine Transformation stage received a significant boost, and the anniversary event brought another huge boost!

He is now fully capable of clearing the ninth level of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm!

The bosses in the Nine-Layer Demon Realm drop tons of great items!
It's decided, I'm going to speedrun through the ninth level of the Demon Realm right now!

Keep grinding until you reach the late stage of the Divine Transformation realm!

Once Jiang Liu made his decision, he didn't hesitate any longer. He opened the large map and clicked on the entrance to the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

Go straight from the first floor to the ninth floor!

After flying for about an hour, and clearing out some demonic NPCs blocking the way, Jiang Liu successfully entered the ninth level of the Nine-Layer Demon Realm.

Unlike the previous levels, this level was filled with extremely dense black demonic energy. The demonic energy enveloped the surroundings like a thick fog, making visibility very low, and it also carried a pungent, fishy stench.

[You are affected by the miasma of the Nine-Layered Demon Realm, losing 1% of your maximum health and 1% of your maximum spiritual energy per second.]

These demonic energies not only affect his vision, but they can also erode his health and spiritual energy!

Just as Jiang Liu stepped into the ninth floor, an unruly voice came from directly in front of him.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"How many years has it been? It's incredible that a righteous cultivator has managed to reach the ninth level of our Nine-Layer Demon Realm."

"Hmph, are all the demonic cultivators from the previous levels useless? They actually allowed righteous cultivators to fight their way here!"

"Toys, please us!"

"Don't try to take it from me! I haven't eaten a righteous cultivator in three hundred years!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

Have I stumbled into a den of demons?

Oh, it really is a den of iniquity.

Jiang Liu glanced at the scene and saw dozens of demonic figures emerge from the demonic energy, surrounding him completely. Their blood-red eyes made no attempt to conceal their possessiveness.

They want to possess Jiangliu!
[Disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect]

[Realm Level: Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage]

[Affiliation: Ancient Demon Sect]

Wow, are all these minor monsters at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage?
Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow as he watched the demonic cultivators emerge from the demonic energy. However, he didn't take it to heart. With a swing of his Primordial Heavenly Spirit Sword, a vast and mighty sword aura swept out!

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

Those demonic cultivators didn't even have a chance to get within a hundred meters of him before they were cut in two by the sword energy. Their corpses fell to the ground and were quickly devoured by the demonic energy, turning into nothingness.

Even the minor monsters are all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

But so what?
Isn't it still a one-hit kill?
You have killed a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect.

You have acquired 1 Heavenly Palace Yin Spirit Orbs.

You have acquired 1 Heavenly Palace Yang Spirit Pearl.

After entering the ninth floor, Jiang Liu didn't rush to find the BOSS, but instead started killing the monsters on the ninth floor.

The monsters on the ninth floor also give a lot of experience, so you might as well farm them.

Once you clear out all the monsters on the ninth floor, you'll eventually encounter the boss.

You have killed a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect.

You have killed a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect.

You have killed a disciple of the Ancient Demon Sect.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
Soon, another hour or so passed.

Bad news: The boss of the ninth floor did not come looking for Jiang Liu.

Good news: Jiang Liu has found the BOSS room on the ninth floor!

After wandering around half of the ninth level of the Demon Realm, Jiang Liu saw a huge black palace.

The palace walls were carved with hideous demonic patterns, and two black plaques hung at the entrance, with the three large characters "Ancient Demon Palace" written in blood-red characters, exuding a sinister aura that made one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

Ancient Demon Palace!
This is the BOSS room of the ninth level of the Demon Realm!
Five elderly men dressed in black robes stood at the palace gate, their backs to the river. They exuded an invincible aura that enveloped an area of ​​several thousand meters in a tangible way, and even the air around them seemed to freeze.

They are the five elders of the Ancient Demon Sect!
Grand Elder of the Ancient Demon Sect

[Realm: Perfected Integration]

[Affiliation: Ancient Demon Sect]

Oh, it's just the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm. Then it's alright.

As if sensing that an outsider was approaching, the leading elder slowly turned around.

His hair and beard were white, his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at Jiang Liu.

"Heh heh heh, someone actually managed to get this far, they do have some skill."

His voice was hoarse and low, as if squeezed out of his throat: "However, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. No living person has ever been able to leave the Ancient Demon Palace of the Ninth Level Demon Realm."

"Enough with the nonsense, bring your sect leader out here!"

Jiang Liu was too lazy to get entangled with them. His goal was the loot dropped by the Ancient Demon Sect Master. These five elders were just appetizers at best.

"How dare you! How dare you summon the sect leader at will?"

The elder on the left roared angrily. He hadn't expected this outsider to be so arrogant as to call the sect leader by his name.

Do you think you can just see the sect leader of my Ancient Demon Sect whenever you want?

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a black longsword appeared. The blade was wrapped in dense demonic energy, and black liquid dripped from its edge. Wherever it passed, the space was dyed black, as if half of it was about to be devoured by the demonic energy!
"Ancient Demon Destruction Slash!"

"If you want to see our sect leader, you'd better take this blow first!"

He slashed at Jiang Liu, his longsword drawing a black arc in the air, carrying a destructive aura of death!

"Laugh, isn't that supposed to be my line?"

Jiang Liu smiled dismissively and casually slashed with the Hunyuan Tianling Sword in his hand!
"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

Cut it out with one sword!
Swords clashed and swords flashed as they faced off!
In less than two seconds, the Ancient Demon Sect Elder's Ancient Demon Destruction Slash was destroyed by the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword, and the sword intent that seemed to reach the heavens directly struck the Ancient Demon Sect Elder!
What a strong sword spirit!
Are all righteous cultivators this powerful nowadays?
The five elders' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They had not expected that this young righteous cultivator would possess such terrifying attack power!
Is the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm of a righteous cultivator equal to the Great Perfection realm of a demonic cultivator?

Gan!
The righteous cultivators who monopolize the Central Plains are eating way too well!

The elders exchanged glances and each summoned their own Dao-rank demonic artifacts!

An elder took out a black shield, which was engraved with magic runes.

An elder took out a folding fan with a magic circle drawn on its surface.

Two other elders held longswords, their blades gleaming with a black light.

In an instant, black demonic energy, red flames, and blue ice swept towards Jiang Liu, completely blocking him from all sides, leaving him no gap to escape!

Of course, Jiang Liu had no intention of running away.

Since he's already here, he won't leave without causing some trouble.

"Well done!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. He lowered the Hunling Tianyuan Sword, raised his right fist, and a neon-like light shone from his fist.

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

Once the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist was unleashed, all the demonic arts used by the five elders vanished into nothingness!
"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"Raging Thunder!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

Jiang Liu fought fiercely with the five elders of the Ancient Demon Sect for hundreds of rounds. The battle was extremely intense and the scene was very brutal!

You are dead.

You have killed the Fifth Elder of the Ancient Demon Sect.

You are dead.

You have killed the Fourth Elder of the Ancient Demon Sect.

You are dead.

You killed the Third Elder of the Ancient Demon Sect.

It must be admitted that the five elders of the Ancient Demon Sect were quite powerful, managing to kill Jiang Liu several times.

It wasn't until Jiang Liu died more than ten times that he finally managed to kill all five elders with great difficulty!

You have acquired 124 Heavenly Palace Yin Spirit Orbs.

You have acquired 111 Heavenly Craft Yang Spirit Orb.

You have acquired 5 Ancient Demon Hearts.

You have acquired 5 fragments of the Heavenly Demon Scripture.

"Hmm? A new item?"

After picking up the dropped items, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened his backpack to take a look.

【Heart of the Ancient Demon】

[Rank: Mid-grade Dao Rank]

[Purpose: Alchemy]

[The Fragment of the Heavenly Demon Scripture]

[Rank: Mid-grade Dao Rank]

[Use: Weapon crafting]

"Mid-grade Dao-level alchemy and weapon-refining materials?"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up. He had the materials; how far away could the blueprints be?

Since the elders dropped materials, the sect leader must be able to drop blueprints, right?

Having dealt with the five elders, Jiang Liu eagerly stepped into the Ancient Demon Palace.

The hall was dimly lit, with only a black oil lamp shining on the throne in the center, its dim light illuminating the surrounding area.

Seated on the throne was a middle-aged man in a purple robe. He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and exuded a terrifying aura that was far stronger than the previous five elders!
[Master of the Ancient Demon Sect]

[Realm: Perfected Integration]

[Affiliation: Ancient Demon Sect]

It's just a mere Grand Perfection of the Fusion Realm?

Upon seeing the Ancient Demon Sect Master's cultivation level, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

He thought he might encounter a Tribulation Transcending stage BOSS, but it turned out to be a trashy Integration stage cultivator.

Although the Tribulation-Crossing BOSS is incredibly powerful, he's the only one here. Even with infinite resurrections, he can still wear down the Tribulation-Crossing BOSS until he dies.

Therefore, it would rather encounter a BOSS at the Tribulation Transcending stage than a BOSS at the Fusion stage. (End of Chapter)
