"Bullsh * t, I'd like to see how you're going to kill me."
Zhang Jiuman charged forward, executing the World Dominating Barbarian King's Fist, domineering and tyrannical.
"Rumble!"
The terrifying punch shook the void. Zhang Jiuman's attack was ferocious, causing the surrounding core disciples to break out in cold sweat for Ye Qing.
Although Ye Qing's cultivation had advanced to Xiantian Sixth Stage, it was due to consuming pills. Moreover, the speed of his cultivation was too fast, causing his foundation to be unstable.
Could he really kill Zhang Jiuman in a single move under such circumstances?
None of the core disciples present believed it.
"Weng!"
A giant black hole suddenly appeared in the void as Ye Qing approached with the Unfettered Steps. Executing the Black Hole Devouring Technique, Ye Qing released a terrifying mass of darkness energy that looked like a black hole in the universe, swallowing everything.
Zhang Jiuman's face paled. His entire arm was gone, swallowed by the black hole, not even bones were left behind.
The World Dominating Barbarian King's Fist was far inferior to Ye Qing's Black Hole Devouring Technique. After all, Ye Qing's God Realm comprehension ability allowed him to cultivate any cultivation technique or martial skill to perfection in an instant!
The Black Hole Devouring Technique at perfection stage was much more powerful than Zhang Jiuman's World Dominating Barbarian King's Fist!
A mournful howl reverberated through the mountains. Zhang Jiuman's body was swallowed up by the black hole and completely turned into ashes. Not even a trace of him was left behind.
As the black hole gradually disappeared, the Duanren Sect's core disciples and Elders were stupefied. The Azure Sea Sect's peerless genius, Zhang Jiuman, died just like that?!!!
They were still expecting Ye Qing to defeat Zhang Jiuman and force him to retreat, but they didn't expect Ye Qing to be so ferocious, directly killing Zhang Jiuman.
The Azure Sea Sect placed great importance on Zhang Jiuman, and after learning of his death, they would definitely not let this matter rest.
"This … Zhang Jiuman died just like that?"
"Zhang Jiuman is the second strongest disciple of the Azure Sea Sect's younger generation. Now that he died in our Duanren Sect, will there be trouble?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Zhang Jiuman came to throw away his life, Senior Brother Ye killed him, do you think the Azure Sea Sect would dare to come for revenge?"
"Senior Brother Ye is mighty!"
Many of the core disciples were in high spirits. As Duanren Sect's disciples, Ye Qing's domineering act of killing Zhang Jiuman gave them a strong sense of honor.
Many beautiful female disciples were looking at Ye Qing with infatuation. Their eyes were infatuated, and their hearts were filled with love!
After the black hole disappeared, a gigantic Bronze Treasure Chest appeared out of thin air!
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. The Bronze Treasure Chests he had picked up in the past were much smaller than this one.
According to Ye Qing's experience, in the case of the same grade, the bigger the treasure chest, the more precious the treasure.
Such a large Bronze Treasure Chest should contain some decent treasures.
"Activate!"
Ye Qing shouted in his heart as he opened the large Bronze Treasure Chest. Inside was a fist-sized piece of dark gold ore!
"Ding! Congratulations to host for opening the Bronze Treasure Chest. You have obtained a rare ore, Dragon Flame Mystical Iron Ore!"
The system's crisp notification sounded out. Ye Qing was in a great mood. The Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore could be used to refine the Mystic Iron Sword and increase its quality.
"Alright, all of you can disperse."
Ye Qing waved his hand and walked toward the Core Hall. His cultivation had risen too quickly, and he needed some time to stabilize his foundation.
If he had time, he would refine the Mystic Iron Sword and choose a powerful sword art to increase his battle strength.
The Three Sects Grand Competition was about to begin, and it was a grand occasion for the entire Northern Desert. The Duanren Sect, Azure Sea Sect, and Goddess Sect's geniuses would all participate.
It was rumored that the Azure Sea Sect's number one genius, Cang Xuan Yu, was the reincarnation of the Great Sage, and his potential was astounding.
The Great Sage was an unimaginable existence, standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, a character at the top of the pyramid.
If Cang Xuan Yu was really the reincarnation of the Great Sage, then it would be too terrifying!
Who in the Northern Desert could compete with him?
The Goddess Sect was also filled with geniuses. It was rumored that the Goddess Sect's Holy Maiden, Xian Ling 'er, was the reincarnation of the Primordial Divine Bird Vermilion Bird. Her cultivation talent was astounding!
Cang Xuan Yu and Xian Ling 'er were both peerless geniuses of the Northern Desert. During the Three Sects Grand Competition, there was bound to be a fierce battle between the two of them.
As for Ye Qing, he was already famous in the Duanren Sect, but in the Northern Desert, he was still considered a rising star, and not many people knew of him.
… …
In the Core Hall, there were many magnificent palaces.
Ye Qing resided in one of the palaces, sitting cross-legged and cultivating in seclusion. Two days passed, and his cultivation stabilized at the Xiantian sixth stage.
His low-grade Mystic-class cultivation technique, Water Origin Divine Art, had evolved into the mid-grade Mystic-class Dark Waves Art!
Following the upgrade of his cultivation technique, Ye Qing's cultivation speed increased, and his Xiantian true qi became more condensed.
With a thought, Ye Qing checked the system's interspatial storage and took out a Mystic Iron Sword and a piece of Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore!
"Sizzle!"
A ball of fire appeared as Ye Qing executed Raging Inferno. Scarlet flames appeared and surrounded the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore began to melt.
The Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore was a rare ore, and it was extremely hard to melt with normal flames. With Ye Qing's mid-grade Mystic-class Raging Inferno, melting the ore was not a problem at all.
After a short while, the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore was successfully melted, and the next step was to refine the Mystic Iron Sword!
"Sizzle!"
Under the burning flames, the Mystic Iron Sword emitted a dark luster, and it even emitted a faint golden light.
"Ding! Congratulations to host, the Mystic Iron Sword has been successfully refined. It has been upgraded to a mid-grade Mystic-class Mystic Artifact!"
Ye Qing held the Mystic Iron Sword and swung it, causing the void to tremble, and strong winds to wreak havoc.
Using the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore to refine the Mystic Iron Sword had greatly increased its power, and even its weight had increased by a lot. It was now at least eight thousand jin!
"Mystic-class Mystic Iron Ore, it's still not enough. Since it's the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Ore, my Supreme Dragon Blood should be useful."
Ye Qing cut his finger, and a drop of golden blood appeared, merging into the Mystic Iron Sword.
"Weng!"
A majestic dragon's might was released, and the Mystic Iron Sword shone brightly. After merging with the Supreme Dragon Blood, the Mystic Iron Sword instantly changed. It carried the supreme Dragon God's might, and its sharpness was unparalleled.
"Ding! Congratulations to host, the Mystic Iron Sword has been upgraded to a high-grade Mystic-class Mystic Artifact!"
Ye Qing nodded slightly, feeling satisfied. After absorbing the Supreme Dragon Blood, the Mystic Iron Sword was indeed different. Just its appearance alone was much better. The body of the Mystic Iron Sword was jet black with a faint golden glow.
"After merging with my Dragon Blood, I'll call you the Dragon Flame Mystic Iron Sword!"
Ye Qing pondered. Now that he had the Mystic Iron Sword, what he needed now was a sword technique. In the system's storage space, there were some basic low-grade yellow-ranked martial skills, but there was no sword technique.
Ye Qing took a step forward, heading to the Duanren Sect's Scripture Pavilion to choose a suitable sword technique.
Activating the Carefree Steps, Ye Qing arrived at the Scripture Pavilion in a few minutes. The moment he entered the Scripture Pavilion, a Pavilion Elder came out to greet him respectfully and humbly.
Currently, Ye Qing was a prominent figure in the Duanren Sect. The Sect Chief and Grand Elder had instructed that if Ye Qing needed any treasures, the Duanren Sect must fully support him.
This was the first time Ye Qing came to the Duanren Sect's Scripture Pavilion, so the Pavilion Elder naturally did not dare to slight him.
"Lord Ye, may I know what cultivation method or martial skill you need?"
"What is the most powerful sword technique you have here?"
The moment the Pavilion Elder heard 'most powerful sword technique', he immediately listed several high-grade Mystic Iron Sword Techniques, such as the Falling Flower Sword Technique, Nebula Sword Technique, Azure Lotus Sword Technique, and so on. These were the Duanren Sect's most precious treasures, and were one of the most precious martial skills in the Scripture Pavilion. Not even the average Core Hall Elder had the qualifications to practice them.
"I'm asking, what is the most powerful low-grade yellow-ranked sword technique?"
Just as Ye Qing's words fell, the Pavilion Elder was stunned. Low-grade yellow-ranked sword technique, and it was the most powerful?
Was there a mistake?!!!
