Qin Yu carefully read these dozen or so messages, his brow inevitably furrowing.

"Urging me to pass through Qingyun Road? What exactly do Ao Feng, Du Zhongjun, and Hua Yan want to do?" Qin Yu thought briefly and anger began to build within him, "They have all experienced the dangers of Qingyun Road themselves and probably believe that my chances of getting through successfully are slim. Yet even so, they’re still rushing me... aren’t they all wishing for my death?"

Anger surged in Qin Yu’s heart: "Hmph, who do they think they are? And this Du Zhongjun and Hua Yan, it seems like I have no relation with them at all. Yet they use a commanding tone to message me. This Ao Feng, I used to think he was alright, but it seems he’s not a good person either."

As he looked at those dozen or so messages, the more Qin Yu read, the angrier he became.

He had no ties with Du Zhongjun, Hua Yan, Ao Feng, and the others, nor was he under their command, but these three kept sending messages to order him to pass through Qingyun Road. Although their tone became slightly better later on, Qin Yu still regarded these three as enemies.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Qin Yu calmed down.

"No, there must be some special reason they are so anxious for me to pass through Qingyun Road and meet up with them! Otherwise, why would they care whether I pass through Qingyun Road?" Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then continued walking straight ahead on the golden path, "Whatever you’re up to, I originally didn’t wish to unleash any slaughter, but if you provoke me, I wouldn’t mind letting Lan Feng make an early appearance."

Because of those dozen or so messages, because of their commanding tone, because they disregarded his life... Qin Yu finally became enraged.

Outside the palace gates of ’Nine-layered Heaven’, Ao Feng, Hua Yan, Du Zhongjun, and the others were somewhat anxious, and Fang Tian also wore a helpless expression. Meanwhile, Zong Jue, Man Qian, and Yu Liang sat down cross-legged, waiting quietly.

As Qin Yu’s good friends, Zong Jue and Man Qian naturally did not want to drag Qin Yu into a pit of fire. And Yu Liang, who followed Man Qian’s orders, was naturally content to wait.

"Do we really have to wait for several decades? This Qin Yu... if we had killed him earlier, we wouldn’t have this trouble." Red light flickered in Blood Demon Du Zhongjun’s eyes; after entering Ni Yang Realm, they could no longer retreat.

Having passed through Qingyun Road, there was no going back. Otherwise, Du Zhongjun and the others would have already turned back to kill Qin Yu.

Hua Yan glanced at the ’Ten Thousand Beasts List’ floating inside the great hall, feeling as if each day was like a year.

Under normal circumstances, ten or a hundred years meant nothing to them, but now, with the Divine Artifact ’Ten Thousand Beasts List’ right before their eyes, how could they settle down? The waiting became even more painful and unbearable.

Man Qian, who was seated cross-legged, was the first to open his eyes and look towards the end of the golden passageway they had come through.

With the strongest capabilities and having calmly waited, Man Qian was the first to notice the faint sound of footsteps. In just a short while, Ao Feng and the others also turned their heads toward the end of the golden passageway.

Wearing a black robe, Qin Yu walked down the center of the golden path with a calm demeanor and a faint smile on his face.

"Qin Yu is here!"

Upon seeing Qin Yu’s figure, the expressions on the faces of Ao Feng and the other six people all stiffened, but almost at the same moment—they all dashed towards the palace gates. According to the messages, once everyone had undergone the trial, the Restriction on the palace gates would disappear.

"Boom!"

Seven loud impacts almost sounded at once, and transparent ripples appeared on the palace gates... The seven great experts were shocked as if paralyzed and were flung back simultaneously, their blood splattering across the steps outside the palace gate.

Qin Yu stared blankly at this scene.

"Gentlemen, what...what are you doing?" wondered Qin Yu, full of confusion.

"Damn it, what’s with this palace door restriction? Wasn’t it said that the restriction would disappear automatically after everyone had gone through their trials? Why is this damn restriction still here?" Du Zhongjun was furious to the extreme.

Hua Yan, Ao Feng, Man Qian, Fang Tian, Zong Jue, Yu Liang, and others also gazed at the palace doors of ’Nine-layered Heaven,’ their faces filled with anger and unwillingness.

Qin Yu’s mind was filled with questions.

But as his gaze swept around, he saw the stele next to the palace door, and the few lines of text on it—"If you’ve successfully braved Qingyun Road, it proves your foundation is solid and that you rank among the elites of your level. Having crossed Qingyun Road, naturally, you deserve a reward, the treasure from the time when I, Ni Yang, roamed free across the realms of immortals, demons, and demons—The Ten Thousand Beasts List is the reward for this challenge."

"The Ten Thousand Beasts List?" Qin Yu’s heart stirred, and he also noticed the golden scroll floating in mid-air inside the Nine-layered Heaven palace hall, "Since the word ’list’ is in the Ten Thousand Beasts List, nine out of ten, it’s something like a scroll or a painting. Could it be that scroll?"

Qin Yu walked over to Man Qian and inquired, "Brother Man Qian, what exactly is going on? Is it for the Ten Thousand Beasts List? And what exactly is that?"

Man Qian glanced at Qin Yu and sighed, "Brother Qin Yu, I didn’t expect you to actually make it through Qingyun Road. To be honest... you really have guts. But let me warn you, once you get to the realms of immortals, demons, and demons, it’s best not to meddle in affairs you’re not sure of."

"What do you mean?" pursued Qin Yu.

"Qingyun Road is extremely dangerous, and your desire to brave it shows you have courage, but you are also somewhat reckless," said Man Qian seriously. "The realms of immortals, demons, and demons are full of formidable individuals; the scale of territories, the number of perilous situations, they are billions of times greater than your planet. There are many things you can’t even begin to imagine... If you act just as recklessly as this time, or to put it another way, if you’re overly bold, you might survive one time, and with good luck, even twice. But what about the third or fourth time? You can’t always be so lucky, can there? Just one slip, and you could lose your life."

"So when you’re in the realms of immortals, demons, and demons, don’t be too reckless. At the very least, make sure you have some confidence when encountering danger, got it?" Man Qian admonished Qin Yu with the tone of an older brother.

Qin Yu felt somewhat touched in his heart.

He understood that in Man Qian’s eyes, he had been reckless.

In Man Qian’s view, seeing as even experts like True Master Ming Shan and Dragon Clan Elder Yan Shan died attempting Qingyun Road, Qin Yu’s willingness to take on the same challenge showed a level of courage bordering on terror. He had completely overestimated his abilities. Hence his concern for Qin Yu’s future path.

"Don’t worry, Big Brother Man Qian, I won’t be so reckless in the future," Qin Yu said, not revealing that he possessed the ’Sword Immortal Puppet.’

"Oh, Brother Man Qian, we haven’t finished discussing what I just asked you. Why were you all acting so desperately just now..." Qin Yu questioned with bewilderment.

Only then did Man Qian recall the original question Qin Yu had asked. He gave a wry smile and said, "You’re asking about that, huh? That has to do with the ’Ten Thousand Beasts List.’

"You mean the golden scroll floating inside the great hall?" Qin Yu guessed.

Man Qian nodded and said, "Yes, that’s the Ten Thousand Beasts List. The Ten Thousand Beasts List is a renowned Low Grade Divine Artifact from the days Immortal Emperor Ni Yang rose to power across the realms of immortals, demons, and demons."

"Low Grade Divine Artifact?" Qin Yu’s heart was stirred.

"Qin Yu, you mustn’t underestimate a Low Grade Divine Artifact. You might have seen quite a few Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts here in the Ni Yang Realm, but that’s because this is Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s old haunt. In the realms of immortals, demons, and demons, typical Golden Immortals, Demon Kings, and Demon Kings mostly use Upper Grade Immortal Artifacts. Only very powerful Golden Immortals or some Profound Immortals use Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts."

Qin Yu took every word Man Qian said to heart.

Being completely ignorant about the realms of immortals, demons, and demons, it was very useful for Qin Yu to learn whatever he could from Man Qian now for the future.

"Even Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts (Demon Artifacts, Demon Artifacts) can be refined by the masters of the realms of immortals, demons, and demons. But remember! Divine Artifacts are impossible to refine, no matter what. Even a Low Grade Divine Artifact has far greater power than a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact. Among Low Grade Divine Artifacts, offensive ones are less valuable than defensive, and defensive ones are less valuable than space and other special types of Divine Artifacts."

Brother Man Qian’s gaze turned toward the golden scroll in the center of the great hall, "And this ’Ten Thousand Beasts List’ belongs to the special category of Low Grade Divine Artifacts, extremely precious."

Qin Yu fully understood the preciousness of the Ten Thousand Beasts List.

"Where exactly does the power of the Ten Thousand Beasts List lie?" Qin Yu inquired.

As Qin Yu and Brother Man Qian were conversing,

Blood Demon Du Zhongjun, Hua Yan, Zong Jue, and others were all trying to gently touch the hall doors. The Restriction on the hall doors was strange, the stronger the attack the greater the backlash, but gentle touching seemed to pose no problem.

They kept touching the doors lightly, seeing when the Restriction on the hall doors would disappear.

"Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, you are too cunning," Du Zhongjun, already out of energy, cursed weakly. Yet another light punch from him managed to reach inside the great hall.

Du Zhongjun was startled.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yan, Zong Jue, Ao Feng, Fang Tian, and others were also startled, while Brother Man Qian who was conversing with Qin Yu was also paying attention to this, and his words abruptly ceased—

"Boom!"

The air suddenly vibrated intensely, and the seven experts rushed into the great hall at the fastest speed.

As for Qin Yu, he stood outside the hall doors, enjoying the spectacle before him.

Hua Yan, Zong Jue, and the seven experts moved strangely, their speed so fast when rushing into the hall from outside that their figures were invisible, but once they entered the great hall, their speed slowed down as if they were being pressed down by a mountain, reduced by who knows how many times.

The Gravity Restriction isn’t utilized by many in the Immortal Realm, but Immortal Emperor Ni Yang specialized in it. Of course... it was also related to his two good friends, Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun.

"So heavy," Du Zhongjun cursed through gritted teeth, but he still rushed towards the center of the great hall.

Although the speed of the seven experts had slowed down immeasurably, their original speed was too fast. Even with such a reduction, they were still as fast as a strong wind. Considering the hall wasn’t very large, it took only a few seconds for all seven experts to approach the golden scroll at the center.

"Zong Jue is indeed fast, looking like this he should be the first one to get the Ten Thousand Beasts List," Qin Yu wasn’t in a rush to make his move, and instead evaluated the situation from outside the hall doors.

"Get lost."

With a low roar from Hua Yan, three purple-colored seals—Hundred Dust Thunder Seals—suddenly appeared in his hands.

The three Hundred Dust Thunder Seals were surrounded by lightning as they flew towards three people—Zong Jue, Brother Man Qian, and Du Zhongjun. Being the three people at the front, when the seals approached them, they shattered simultaneously, and bolts of lightning struck at the three.

Anger spread across Zong Jue’s face, but he dared not let the Hundred Dust Lightnings strike him. A black, narrow War Saber suddenly appeared in his hands. It was the same weapon that Uncle Lan had left for Zong Jue.

Imbued with powerful Demon Essence Power, the War Saber cleaved directly at the bolts of lightning.

And how would Brother Man Qian deal with the Hundred Dust Thunder Seals?

"Roar~~"

An enraged Brother Man Qian, with his purple Battle Armor shining brilliantly, let out a bellow, and his human head began to transform into a huge bullish one, with terrifying purple pupils. The light emanating from Brother Man Qian grew even more dazzling.

"Brother Man Qian is really strong; he’s actually using his Battle Armor to withstand the Hundred Dust Thunder Seals directly," Qin Yu admired inwardly.

With Brother Man Qian’s substantial power, compounded by his transformation into a half-human form that boosted his strength, he dared to use Top-Grade Battle Armor to resist the Hundred Dust Thunder Seals. Brother Man Qian then reached out to take the Ten Thousand Beasts List into his hands.

"Brother Man Qian, don’t even think about it!"

As the voice rang out, a streak of blood-red light shot from Du Zhongjun’s hand towards Brother Man Qian, while the same blood-red light also surrounded Du Zhongjun’s body.

"Blood Drop Fruit?" Brother Man Qian had no choice but to fend off the Blood Drop Fruit first.

The Blood Drop Fruit, a Spiritual Fruit from the Demon World, grows in blood-soaked lands and is imbued with the immensely powerful energy of the Blood Demon Demon Path. It can be used for cultivation by absorption, or its energy can be ignited explosively as an offensive weapon using special methods.

And now, Du Zhongjun was using the Blood Drop Fruit to attack.

...

Qin Yu watched, his vision a blur of action.

"For the Ten Thousand Beasts List, each and every one of them is playing for keeps. Envoys from the Upper Realm indeed have many tricks up their sleeves," Qin Yu’s eyes shone as he observed the top experts vie for the Ten Thousand Beasts List, none allowing the others to seize it.

Suddenly—

An exceedingly formidable aura emerged from Fang Tian.

Dazzling golden light completely enveloped Zong Jue, and Fang Tian’s aura was soaring at a terrifying rate. In just a moment, whether it was Zong Jue, Brother Man Qian, or the others, all ceased their combat. Unanimously, everyone prepared to jointly confront Fang Tian. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Fang Tian, do you dare defy the Dragon Emperor’s order and not contend for that treasure? For the Ten Thousand Beasts List, are you willing to consume the True Dragon Spirit?" Ao Feng, on the side, scolded indignantly.

The True Dragon Spirit was given to Fang Tian by Ao Feng when he descended from the Demon World, of course, it was the Dragon Emperor’s decision from the Demon World.

And just now, Fang Tian had consumed the True Dragon Spirit.

"You need not concern yourself with my affairs; I will explain to the Dragon Emperor myself once I am in the Demon World’s Dragon Clan," Fang Tian’s imposing aura was incredibly strong as he glanced indifferently at the crowd, "The Ten Thousand Beasts List is mine; those who stand in my way will die."

Outside the hall, Qin Yu’s eyes sparkled, "Such a powerful aura; I estimate that it’s not far from my Ninth-level Golden Immortal Sword Immortal Puppet."

"Fang Tian, don’t dream," Brother Man Qian’s deep voice resounded.

The wide-back cleaver in Brother Man Qian’s hands disappeared, and in turn... a huge club, radiating black brilliance and surrounded by green Wolf Fang Club appeared in Brother Man Qian’s grip, his aura, too, was rising tremendously.

Hua Yan and Du Zhongjun widened their eyes, "Are they all giving up on competing for the final treasure? For the Ten Thousand Beasts List, have they begun to go all out?"
