I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

Jun Wuxie tried his best to defend, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the three palm strikes!

Qin Yuan lunged forward, and the Xingtian Sword slashed out once more!

Create the world! Create the earth! Create the world! Create the earth!

Each sword strike is faster and heavier than the last!

Jun Wuxie gradually couldn't hold on any longer, and the wounds on his body were piling up!

After a hundred moves, he finally revealed a weakness!

Qin Yuan seized the opportunity and punched him in the chest!

The full power of the third level of the "Starry Sky Body" was unleashed!

Jun Wuxie coughed up blood and flew backward, never to stand up again!

The entire room fell silent!

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted immediately!

"Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan!"

With eight wins out of eight, they advance to the semifinals with a perfect record!

Defeated Jun Wuxie, who was at the peak of the Mahayana stage!

This late-stage Dao Integration cultivator from the First Heaven has become the biggest dark horse in this Heavenly Pride Tournament!

Qin Yuan stood on the stage, covered in blood, some of it his own, some of it his opponent's.

But his eyes remained as calm as ever.

He glanced at Jun Wuxie lying on the ground, then turned and stepped off the stage.

Behind him, Jun Wuxie struggled to raise his head, looking at his back with a complex expression in his eyes.

He lost.

Lost to a late-stage Dao Integration Realm player.

But he was convinced.

This person deserves this victory because of his skill.

In the semifinals, Qin Yuan's opponent was Yun Zhonghe, the Holy Son of the Eighth Heaven.

Both are at the peak of the Dao Integration stage.

They are also favorites to win the championship.

However, this battle was not as intense as the quarterfinals.

It's not that Yun Zhonghe is weak, but that Qin Yuan is too strong.

After his battle with Jun Wuxie, Qin Yuan became more proficient in using the Nine Forms of the War God and his control over the Starry Sky Great Handprint became more refined.

After thirty moves, Yun Zhonghe voluntarily conceded defeat.

"If we continue, I'll definitely lose. I'd better conserve my strength and aim for third place."

Qin Yuan nodded and saw him off the stage.

finals.

Qin Yuan faced off against Tian Jiu, the Holy Son of the Ninth Heaven.

The pinnacle of Mahayana cultivation, a being with one foot already in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

It is said that he had read the Daoist Canon by the age of three, established his foundation at the age of ten, reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred, transformed into a spirit at the age of one thousand, refined the void at the age of three thousand, merged with the Dao at the age of five thousand, and attained Mahayana at the age of eight thousand.

Now, he is 13,000 years old and only one step away from transcending the tribulation.

He is widely recognized as the number one person in this competition.

The two stood on the stage, facing each other.

Tian Jiu looked at Qin Yuan with no contempt in his eyes, only admiration.

"Qin Yuan, you are remarkable. Reaching the finals in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, you are the first in the Nine Heavens in ten thousand years."

Qin Yuandao.

Thank you.

Tian Jiu smiled slightly.

"However, that's all for now."

He raised his hand, and a golden longsword appeared.

A ninth-grade magic weapon, the Heavenly Nine Swords.

A single sword strike!

There were no fancy sword moves, no overwhelming sword energy, only a golden sword light condensed to the extreme!

But this sword strike was more than ten times stronger than Jun Wuxie's full-force attack!

Qin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

He exerted all his strength and unleashed nine War God Tokens!

The nine tokens formed a formation, transforming into a gray light barrier in front of them!

"boom!"

The light screen trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared!

Qin Yuan groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!

That sword strike was incredibly powerful!

Tian Jiu sheathed his sword and said calmly.

"You have something to be proud of for surviving one of my sword strikes. Now, I'm going to get serious."

He raised his sword again.

This time, countless complex runes appeared on the sword.

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

He knew he wouldn't be able to block the next sword strike.

unless--

He took a deep breath and opened the system panel.

[Would you like to consume 200000 energy points to temporarily unlock the "Cultivation Conversion" Ultimate Mode?]

[In Extreme Mode, 100% of your daily cultivation points for one hour can be converted into combat power, lasting for the duration of an incense stick. After use, your daily cultivation point gains will be permanently reduced by 10%.]

Permanently reduce by 10%?

10% of 65000 years is 6500 years.

The price is not small.

But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that.

【Yes! 】

Energy Points: 204500 → 4500.

In an instant, a surge of immense power rushed into his body!

That's 65000 years of cultivation, all converted into combat power!

Qin Yuan's aura surged instantly!

Late stage of Dao Integration... Peak stage of Dao Integration... Early stage of Mahayana... Middle stage of Mahayana... Late stage of Mahayana... Peak stage of Mahayana!

His cultivation level directly rose to the same level as Tian Jiu!

Tian Jiu's expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible?!"

Qin Yuan offered no explanation.

He simply raised the Xingtian Sword and slashed down with it!

The first of the Nine Forms of the God of War – Heaven Opening!

This sword strike is ten times more powerful than the previous one!

Tianjiu blocked with all his might!

"boom!"

He was sent flying by the sword, spitting out blood!

Qin Yuan's second sword strike followed immediately!

The second move – Opening up the land!

Tianjiu was slashed away again!

The third sword! The fourth sword! The fifth sword!

Qin Yuan's sword strikes were faster and heavier than the last!

Tianjiu couldn't stop him at all!

After ten sword strikes, he knelt on the ground and could no longer stand up!

The entire room fell silent!

A deafening cheer erupted immediately!

"Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan!"

Nine wins out of nine, a perfect record to win the championship!

At the top of the Nine Heavens Pride Ranking!

Qin Yuan stood on the stage, covered in blood, but his back was as straight as a pine tree.

He looked at Tian Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground.

Tian Jiu raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with bitterness.

"I lost."

He said.

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"You are very strong."

Tian Jiu smiled bitterly.

"Strong? Who dares to claim strength in front of you?"

He struggled to his feet and bowed to Qin Yuan with clasped hands.

"Qin Yuan, I'll remember you. I'll ask for your guidance again if I have the chance in the future."

Qin Yuan returned the gift.

"I'm ready to serve you anytime."

Tian Jiu turned and stepped off the stage.

Qin Yuan stood on the stage, receiving cheers from millions of people.

A system notification sounded:

[Host detected to have achieved the top spot on the Nine Heavens Pride Ranking. Achievement accomplished. Reward: +500000 Energy Points.]

[Host detected defeating a peak Mahayana cultivator, achievement achieved, reward: +10000 years of daily cultivation.]

【当前每日修为：65000年→ 75000年（因使用极限模式永久降低10%后为67500年，加上奖励10000年，最终为77500年）】

[Current energy points: 4500 + 500000 = 504500.]

[Sufficient host accumulation detected. Should we attempt to reach the Mahayana stage?]

Qin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Mahayana period.

He finally got what he'd been waiting for.

"Impact".

As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered in the sky!

A thick pillar of lightning descended from the sky!

The Great Vehicle Heavenly Tribulation!

And it's the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

Qin Yuan looked up at the pillar of lightning, a smile playing on his lips.

come on.

He sheathed the Xingtian Sword, opened his arms, and bravely faced the heavenly lightning!

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck him, crackling with electricity!

Qin Yuan remained completely still!

The third level of "The Unbound Stars" was completed, allowing him to withstand heavenly lightning with ease!

The second, the third, the fourth...

Each one is stronger and more ferocious than the last!

Qin Yuan remained standing in place, without taking a single step back!

After the nine bolts of heavenly lightning struck, his body was charred black, but his aura became even stronger!

The initial stage of Mahayana Buddhism has been achieved!

A golden light shone down from the sky, enveloping him.

That was a gift after the heavenly tribulation, a baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and absorbed the information.

His injuries healed rapidly, and his strength gradually increased.

When the golden light faded, he opened his eyes.

The initial stage of Mahayana Buddhism is stable!
