Chapter 774 - 676: No Retreat, Unification of Cultivation Techniques

The Demon Cave.

At the newly discovered ruins, the site of the Bloodline Sacrifice Array.

"The Sect arranged for us to come to the Demon Cave, and it turns out we’re just guarding this place!"

"Will any Earth Demons even come here?"

A rather heavyset disciple asked, confused.

Most of those who had been sent into the Demon Cave ahead of time had assumed they would be occupying territory in preparation to fight the Earth Demon Alien Race.

But after arriving in the Demon Cave, they were split up. The majority were assigned to these new ruins, told to guard against an Earth Demon attack, and ordered to be cautious and observant!

"These are our orders. Just follow them!"

"Don’t overthink it!"

Someone next to him shot him a glance and said.

"If no Earth Demons attack, that’s even better. We can complete the mission safely!"

The person continued.

Not everyone could face death without fear or charge forward bravely in the face of danger. For most, the instinct was to flee.

A relatively safe mission was, naturally, preferable.

They had been forced to enter the Demon Cave; very few had volunteered.

After all, every expedition into the Demon Cave resulted in heavy casualties. Most never made it out alive.

"You were say—"

"Enemy attack!"

Before the heavyset disciple could finish his sentence, a frantic voice rang out, reaching everyone’s ears.

"The Earth Demon Alien Race is here! Don’t let them into the ruins!"

A Steward in charge gave the direct order.

As his voice faded, the guards stationed near the ruins charged toward the Alien Race.

At a time like this, their only path to survival was to completely annihilate these members of the Alien Race.

Otherwise, they would die at the hands of the Alien Race.

The hatred between the Human Race and the Alien Race had been building for ages. When they met, killing intent was guaranteed, and no mercy would be shown!

CLANG!

The clash of blades rang out. Sprays of blood—human and alien alike—splattered before the ruins, mixing together to mark the start of the bloody slaughter!

"You’ve got some nerve, you alien scum! You won’t be sneaking into these ruins!"

While the Merak Sacred Land clashed with the Alien Race, several black figures tried to use the chaos of the raging battle as cover to sneak into the ruins.

Among them was an expert at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Level.

But the Merak Sacred Land had also positioned its own masters, who now revealed themselves and moved to kill the members of the Demon Race trying to infiltrate the ruins!

"Death Demon, Legion Commander of the Third Demon Army! I meant to kill you last time, but you managed to slip away!"

"This time, you’re not leaving!"

The people from the Holy Land had been fighting the Earth Demon Alien Race for a long time and naturally knew of their important figures.

Death Demon, the Legion Commander of the Third Legion, for instance, had the blood of many Merak Sacred Land disciples on his hands and was a bitter enemy of the Holy Land’s people!

And the one who had just attacked was one such mortal foe!

"You pathetic clown, ambushing me is all you’re good for. Last time, you couldn’t keep me here with all your numbers. This time, you’re alone. What makes you think you can stop me?"

"Let me just kill you and send you to your doom!"

Death Demon, Legion Commander of the Third Legion, sneered at the man. With a flick of the Demon Blade in his hand, he charged forward to kill.

This time, he had a mission from the Lord of Earth Demons that he had to complete. If he failed, death awaited him upon his return anyway.

No one could have expected that this Lord of Earth Demons had hidden his true strength so well. He had never mentioned that his injuries had long since healed, only revealing it after breaking through in his Martial Arts Cultivation.

Now, the Lord of Earth Demons’ power in the Demon Cave was at its zenith. Anyone who dared to defy his will would be torn to shreds!

Death Demon was the first Earth Demon to be singled out. He had no choice but to obey the Lord of Earth Demons’ will: either use the Secret Technique he was given to bring back the incomplete Bloodline Sacrifice Array, or die in battle. There was no other way out!

If he dared to flee, he would only die faster, because the Lord of Earth Demons had placed a failsafe on him. If he ran, he would be the first to die. His life and death were no longer in his own hands, but in the grasp of the Lord of Earth Demons!

"I’m more than enough!"

"This time, you’ll be buried here!"

Some entered the Demon Cave for the express purpose of hunting down these Earth Demons to avenge their hatred!

This Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster was one such person.

In front of the ruins, the slaughter intensified. Many humans and Earth Demons had already fallen!

...

Pill Pavilion, Yuanqing Courtyard.

’I’ve been Refining Recovery Spirit Pills constantly during this time, and the quality has already hit its peak!’

’It’ll be hard to make another breakthrough anytime soon!’

For Yang Chan, the quality of an Elixir had its limits.

Once the quality reached the Perfect Level of ninety percent or higher, every subsequent improvement required a great deal of time.

Even though Yang Chan wasn’t actively trying to improve the Pill Formation quality of his Recovery Spirit Pills, the sheer volume of his Refining still caused their quality to get better and better.

Yang Chan kept all the Elixirs of extremely high quality for himself as reserves!

The Alchemy Ability he had displayed so far was sufficient; there was no need to reveal more.

Instead, what he needed to consider was how to improve his Alchemy Ability later on and ’successfully’ Refine an elixir that could assist with the first Bone Marrow Cleansing!

’Good, neither the Merak Saintess nor Chiyu Peak needs any more Recovery Spirit Pills for now. This gives me a chance to Refine a batch of elixirs to assist with the Second Bone Marrow Cleansing!’

’First, I’ll stockpile more Qingli Nourishing Marrow Pills, enough to last me a long time. Then I’ll try Refining the Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Water Rhythm Marrow Replenishing Pill!’

Yang Chan wasn’t in a hurry to try Refining a Third Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. Instead, he first focused on accumulating more Qingli Nourishing Marrow Pills, which he had previously Refined into Top Quality Elixirs. These were the most suitable elixirs for his Martial Arts Cultivation as a Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, offering the highest utilization rate.
