  The Devil Domain was actually a deep abyss. Looking down from above the fort, the only thing one could see were two mountains with a deep abyss between them. A large amount of devilish energy surged out of the abyss without stop, forming clouds of devilish energy.

  The fort was in fact a floating fort located right above the abyss. It was rumored that it was a defensive fort built by the most powerful of the surface organizations. It was not only a fort but also a divine weapon used to suppress the most powerful of the devils.

  The human race and the various other races regarded this fort as an important stronghold serving as a place for people traveling into the Devil Domain to rest and record their contributions.

  After all, countless numbers of people headed in and out of the Devil Domain each year, with a large portion of them ultimately perishing in the Devil Domain. It was understandable that a place for these people to rest and recover needed to exist.

  As for the so-called contribution, it was determined by the number of devilish beasts one killed. The more devilish beasts one killed and the higher the level of the devilish beasts killed, the more contribution points one would earn.

  The contribution points were extremely useful as well. One could become famous throughout the lands through contribution points, and one could also use the points to purchase things one needed such as emperor techniques, emperor weapons, saint medicines, and so on.

  With enough contribution points, one could even claim a piece of territory and become a king there. These contribution points were jointly acknowledged by the most powerful organizations of the dominion.

  These powerful organizations would not mind one bit when one exchanged these points for their treasures. After all, these powerful organizations were in a sense the representative of the Nine Gods Dominion. Everything in the domain was practically theirs. One could say that they were the gods of the dominion.

  As for the actual names of these organizations, that was not something an ordinary person would be able to know. The organizations of that level lived in an entirely different world, a world that one would only be able to learn about after surpassing the Sovereign Realm.

  Yu Caidie's voice rang out, "Everyone, go receive your respective jade plates. Although you are here to help me get the yin devil wind, the contribution points you earn will be yours alone."

  Xiang Shaoyun recovered from his shock and followed everyone to a counter where he received his own jade plate. He dripped a drop of his blood essence on the jade plate and left his name on it as well. The moment he did so, he suddenly sensed a connection form between him and a towering stone stele before him. When he looked over, he saw a large number of names written all over the stele.

  Huo Xudong's voice rang out beside him, "This is the Contribution Stele. The names at the top are the strongest experts of the dominion. They are the people who have killed a countless number of devilish beasts to win success and recognition. As for our names, they are at the very bottom of the stele. In fact, they are not even visible right now. Only after earning enough contribution points will our names start appearing. But generally, only those reaching the Sovereign Realm will be able to earn enough contribution points for their names to show."

  Xiang Shaoyun nodded and was about to look away when he caught a familiar name on the stele, "Xiang Dingtian".

  This name was listed among the top 10 names on the stele, located at an extremely eye-catching position. For some reason, when he saw that name, an indescribable emotion took over him, giving him a feeling that he seemed to be connected by fate to this Xiang Dingtian.

  In truth, he did have some sort of relationship with Xiang Dingtian. The cultivation method and battle techniques he cultivated all originated from Xiang Dingtian, the Overlord from over 10,000 years ago.

  Xiang Dingtian, the name of the strongest person of an era. Devouring Ghost had once told him that Xiang Dingtian had attempted to conquer the entirety of the Nine Gods Dominion, becoming the overlord of all. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed in his endeavor. However, that did not discredit the extraordinary accomplishments he had achieved in his life.

  Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation method suddenly started circulating by itself, and even his Overlord Skyslaying Saber started to stir, trying to fly out of his body.

  Stop this! Xiang Shaoyun's face fell as he yelled inwardly and suppressed both his cultivation method and the saber.

  If news spread that he had the inheritance of Xiang Dingtian, a large commotion would be caused. One ought to know that Xiang Dingtian was also someone with many enemies while the Overlord Skyslaying Saber was an exceptional weapon that many people longed to possess.

  "Brother Xiang, why are you blanking out there? Come on, we're heading off," said Huo Xudong, pulling Xiang Shaoyun's attention back to the real world. He shook his head before quickly following Yu Caidie and the others with Money.

  Yu Caidie and the others were in no rush to immediately head out. Rather, they stopped at a commercial district and said, "We will be heading straight to the second level of the Devil Domain. It is filled with Devil Kings, and even Devil Emperors exist there. Take some time and buy some items you need here. I will also get some maps of the second level for all of you. That way, even if we end up separated, we will still know our way around."

  At the commercial district there were a lot of people peddling the treasures they found from the Devil Domain. There were also a lot of people peddling weapons, armors, and other supplies from the surface world to the people heading toward the Devil Domain. Everyone spread out and started shopping for the things they needed.

  Huo Xudong gave Xiang Shaoyun another advice, "Brother Xiang, all the devils have a large variety of attacking methods. Buying a large variety of unique items might be helpful for when you're in the Devil Domain."

  Xiang Shaoyun nodded and started strolling around the commercial district as well. He found that the largest number of items being sold were various defensive armors. There were also a lot of unique weapons and items being sold. Seeing all these items appearing at the same place was quite an eye-opener.

  "Young man, come take a look. I have some high level devil blood here. It is helpful in quickly recovering your vitality," an old King suddenly called out at Xiang Shaoyun.

  Xiang Shaoyun looked over and saw numerous items arranged before the old man. In his hand was a bottle filled with blood. When he looked at the old man, he found that this old man only had one arm and he had the look of someone who had lost his ambition, looking like an ordinary old man.

  Xiang Shaoyun wasn't overly interested in what the old King had for sale, but suddenly, his body seemed to react to the bottle of blood the old King was holding. With the same expression on his face, he asked, "How much for this bottle of devil blood?"

  "This is the blood of a Devil Emperor. I'm selling it for 50,000 mid-grade spirit crystals," said the old King.

  Right this moment, a neighboring peddler said, "Old Wei, stop swindling these newcomers. Devil blood can be found everywhere. Are you not embarrassed of yourself for scamming so many spirit crystals from these newcomers?"

  An awkward look covered the old King's face as he quickly said, "Hmph. I'm selling a genuine high level devil blood. How can those regular devil blood compare?" He looked at Xiang Shaoyun and continued, "Young man, don't listen to him. How about this, I will give you a discount. You can have it for 40,000 mid-grade spirit crystals. I need to at least get paid for my hard work of getting this blood."

  Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "1,000 mid-grade spirit crystals. If you agree, I will buy it right now. If not, forget it."

  "How can you bargain like this?" grumbled the old King unhappily.

  But when he saw Xiang Shaoyun turning to leave, he quickly said, "Sigh, fine, fine. I will sell it at a loss then."

  In truth, this bottle of devil blood was something he had casually gathered without even risking anything. A price of 1,000 mid-grade spirit crystals was already very decent. Xiang Sha
oyun turned around and paid him the spirit crystals for the devil blood. When he held the bottle of devil blood in his hand, the blood in his own body started circulating more quickly.

  Chapter 443: Yu Caidie's Cousin

  I don’t have any devil blood in my body, right? Xiang Shaoyun wondered gloomily. He was afraid he would really have the bloodline of the devils. If that was the case, he would become the public enemy of the surface races. After buying the bottle of devil blood, he continued strolling around.

  A lot of high level materials could be seen everywhere, such as emperor and sovereign materials. It was an eye-opener. Back at Ziling Sect, he had seen a lot of treasures as well, but he rarely had the chance to see so many treasures at the same time.

  After strolling for a bit, he started his shopping spree. Among the things he bought was a sovereign material, the devil lightning stone, which was an excellent material for forging equipment of the lightning element. If he could refine the devil lightning stone into the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, he would be able to further improve the saber's condition.

  At present, the Overlord Skyslaying Saber had only recovered to the level of an emperor weapon. He still needed to refine a large amount of materials into it in order to restore the saber to its original state.

  For some reason, after seeing the name "Xiang Dingtian" on the stele, his resolve to restore the Overlord Skyslaying Saber had grown. He wondered what kind of surprise the name on the stele would bring him after restoring the saber's splendor.

  He had a feeling the blood essence it contained would bring him great enlightenment.

  When he rejoined the group, he found that the group was standing in confrontation with another group.

  He found that the other group was led by a woman of similar age to Yu Caidie and that she was also a remarkable beauty. There were 30 young men behind her, and they did not look any weaker than the people on Yu Caidie's side.

  "Sister Die, I thought you weren't going to come. Imagine my surprise when I saw you! But remember to be careful, the devilish beasts in the Devil Domain are all savages," said the woman in an extremely cordial manner.

  Despite her tone, it was still blatantly obvious she was hostile to Yu Caidie. Others might not know who this woman was, but anyone from the Yu Clan would know that she was Yu Ziyi, Yu Caidie's cousin.

  Sisters and cousins generally had good relationships in normal clans. However, that might not be the case for an ancient clan like the Yu Clan. In the past, Yu Ziyi had a great chance at becoming the next Holy Maiden of the Yu Clan, but Yu Caidie's subsequent rise had threatened her position.

  Although there were several other Holy Maiden candidates in the clan, she and Yu Caidie were the two with the highest chance of becoming the next Holy Maiden. And of the two, the one to first enter the Emperor Realm and display enough potential would be the next Holy Maiden.

  Therefore, Yu Ziyi had also recruited a group of geniuses to enter the Devil Domain. Like Yu Caidie, she was also aiming for the yin devil wind so she could enter the Emperor Realm first and become the next Holy Maiden. After becoming the Holy Maiden, the clan would start fully supporting her with the clan resources, helping her reach an even higher height in the future.

  Yu Ziyi was a few years older than Yu Caidie, but she had only reached peak King Realm and had been overtaken by Yu Caidie. If she couldn’t obtain the yin devil wind and allowed Yu Caidie to enter the Emperor Realm before her, catching up would no longer be a possibility. That was not something she wished to see happen.

  "Thank you for your reminder, cousin. I will be careful. You guys be careful as well, ok?" Yu Caidie answered nonchalantly. She did not seem to mind Yu Ziyi one bit. It almost felt like this competitor of hers was nothing but a clown not worth her attention.

  "Ziyi, is this Sister Caidie?" asked a tall and handsome young man behind Yu Ziyi.

  The speaker was a young man with bright purple hair. Both his eyes were crackling with purple electrical currents, emanating a strong sense of oppression at all times. He was also one who had formed his draconic aura. In fact, his draconic aura was so near completion it almost had the complete form of a dragon. It was obvious he was already almost an Emperor.

  His name was Zuo Zhentian, a genius from an ancient clan. Although the Zuo Clan was not as powerful as the Yu Clan, it was still a top tier-7 organization that already had half the strength required to become a tier-8 organization.

  Zuo Zhentian started staring at Yu Caidie, his eyes burning hot with desire. He had clearly been smitten by her beauty. He was not alone as a number of geniuses around him were also behaving the same way. Although Yu Ziyi was comparable to Yu Caidie in terms of looks, her temperament was far too lacking.

  Yu Ziyi was visibly displeased by the reaction of the geniuses in her group, but she quickly recovered and smiled. "That's right. She is the number one beauty of our Yu Clan, Yu Caidie. She is also my beloved cousin. If you want to become my brother-in-law, you will have to work hard to win my cousin's heart."

  Those words naturally infuriated the geniuses behind Yu Caidie. The men in Yu Caidie's group were all here to become her husband, and they immediately saw the opposing group as their love rivals.

  Zuo Zhentian howled with laughter, "You must be joking, Ziyi. I only have you in my heart. But it is still my honor to be able to know Sister Caidie."

  That might be what Zuo Zhentian was saying, but his gaze never left Yu Caidie.

  "I was wondering who it was. So it's Zuo Zhentian the Purple King from the Zuo Clan?" Long Yunfei's provocative voice rang out.

  Only then did Zuo Zhentian shift his gaze to Long Yunfei and asked doubtfully, "And you are?"

  "Thirteenth Crown Prince of Dragon Society, Long Yunfei," replied Long Yunfei with his brow raised.

  "Ahh, so it's the Dragon Society's lowest ranking prince? Please accept my respects!" Zuo Zhentian sneered.

  "Zuo Zhentian!" Long Yunfei shouted in fury when he heard the disdain in Zuo Zhentian's voice. People like them were extremely prideful. Long Yunfei would not accept being insulted by Zuo Zhentian in front of so many people.

  "What? Are you thinking of having a spar with me?" Zuo Zhentian said, still with the same haughty voice.

  "You think I'm scared of you?" Long Yunfei replied aggressively, looking like he was going to fight for real.

  Yu Caidie interrupted, "If the two of you really want to fight, you should compete on who can kill more devilish beasts in the Devil Domain. Fighting here will only make a joke out of both of you."

  "Hehe, you are wrong, Sister Die. They are both geniuses from their respective organizations. They represent the organization behind them, and the one prevailing over the other will serve as proof of which organization is better at training their disciples," Yu Ziyi fanned the flame.

  "That's right. Ziyi is correct. We are all here for the yin devil wind. Why don't we fight here instead? The loser will withdraw from the race," said Zuo Zhentian. Their side had more people, and if a fight broke up here, they would definitely prevail.

  Chapter 444: I Am Like a Bright Pearl During the Night

  Zuo Zhentian was someone with absolute confidence in himself. His nickname, Purple King, was not something given to him for no reason. He had an Innate Lightning Celestial Physique that granted him absolute compatibility with lightning power. That was how he had come to be so strong at such a young age.

  The so-called Innate Lightning Celestial Physique referred to a physique where one's stars could innately produce lightning power. But of course, the stars of someone with this physique could only store lightning energy. The benefit of this was that the owner of this physique was able to gather lightning energy far faster than other cultivators gathering other energies.

  Even one Innate Lightning Celestial Physique could hardly be found among 10,000 people. One with this physique was destined for a great future the moment one was born. Otherwise, with only six stars, Zuo Zhentian would not have been able to display so much potential.


  The number of stars one had represented one's potential, but the stars themselves also represented one's potential. If one had a good number of stars with good quality, one would have a top-tier physique.

  If Zuo Zhentian had eight or nine stars in addition to his innate elemental stars, he would probably have already entered the Emperor Realm. Terrifying geniuses like this did exist in those super organizations. These were the people fated to stand at the top of the dominion in the future.

  "You think you can bully us with your numbers? We're not afraid of you!" Long Yunfei shouted with a deep voice. Although he did not have any special physique, he was still someone with seven stars. He was naturally unafraid of Zuo Zhentian.

  At this time, Yu Caidie spoke again, "Sister Ziyi, is it proper for you to provoke a fight like this? If you want to compete, we should compete for the yin devil wind instead."

  Yu Ziyi froze slightly when her intention was exposed by Yu Caidie in front of so many people. However, she quickly calmed down and said, "Sister Die, you have mistaken my intention. If we can decide a victor right now, we won't have to harm each other at the devil wind beast's territory anymore, right? But since you are not interested, forget it. I am not interested in bullying others with numbers anyway."

  "Yes, you are right. Look at them. They actually have a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator in their group. I'm starting to doubt Miss Caidie's eyes for allowing someone like this to join the fight for the yin devil wind," said a man beside Yu Ziyi with a sneer.

  The man's name was Qian Xia'ao. His entire face was filled with pride, his head raised so high it almost felt like he was using his nose instead of his eyes to see. He had only recently reached ninth-stage Skysoar Realm, but nobody dared to look down on him as he was a King of Kings with few people his match in the same cultivation realm.

  He had been standing there silently like a bystander all along, and he was surprised when he noticed a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator among Yu Caidie's group. One ought to know that the competition to be the next Holy Maiden of Yu Clan was extremely stiff, and the people these candidates had selected to help them would all be top geniuses with absolute strength.
