"The upper limit of the Azure Moon Realm is the Void Refinement Realm. Once this limit is broken, it will inevitably be rejected by the Azure Moon Realm. Therefore, if the Demon King does not want to face the covetous Dao Lords from the outside world as soon as he awakens, he will definitely not use power beyond the Void Refinement Realm. In this way, he can delay as much time as possible."

"As for the Dao Lords outside, now that they understand my thoughts, this trial has a reason to continue until I admit defeat, or until the Demon King voluntarily leaves the Azure Moon Realm."

Yuanhua opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut, because he knew that what Mellen said would most likely come true.

The Immortal Realm, Jade Balance Heaven, Golden Jade Immortal Sect, Floating Island.

Those who witnessed the scene in the Azure Moon Realm reacted with varying degrees of calm, smiles, or frowns, while the Dao Lords mostly remained unmoved.

After a moment of silence, the Dao Lord of Qingyun Sect said, "This is different from what we said before. After all, the King of the Otherworldly Demons is extremely powerful. Is it appropriate to let the juniors run wild?"

The Dao Lord of Tianyuan Palace echoed, "That's right. The King of the Otherworldly Demons has unpredictable methods. If we really let the younger generation fight against him, who knows what might happen? If it really affects their future path of cultivation, then it would be a loss."

The Dao Lords of Zixiao Palace and Wanxian Pavilion also expressed their views, implying that they hoped to end the joint trial as soon as possible and settle the rankings.

The other Dao Lords did not express their opinions, but instead looked in the direction of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect.

Chang Liyang remained calm, chuckled lightly, and did not respond.

And so, the trial continued.

Yuan Hua looked up at the sky and saw that the King of the Otherworld was about to fully awaken, but the Azure Moon Realm remained unchanged. He could only smile bitterly in despair.

In a short time, Mellen's Void Refinement Realm had been completely stabilized, and his voice boomed for miles: "You should leave!"

The True Immortals in the vicinity heard Mellen's blunt words. Most of them turned and left without hesitation, while a few showed displeasure on their faces, but after a brief moment of thought, they also rationally chose to leave.

Of course, these True Immortals 'left' in different ways. Some directly left the Azure Moon Realm and returned to the Immortal Realm, while others simply flew a distance away to observe, clearly having other ideas.

Yuan Hua gave Mellen a deep look, but instead of returning directly to the Immortal Realm, he wanted to see what gave Mellen the confidence to confront the King of the Otherworld.

At Mellen's call, dogs appeared across space and merged into his body, making Mellen's aura even heavier.

As Mellen watched the earth gradually swell, he preemptively threw a punch.

Space twisted like dough under Melon's fist, and through layers of entanglement, it imprisoned the yet-to-be-fully-born Demon King within it.

At the same time, a series of crisp 'crackling' sounds came from the space, splitting into different dimensions. Under the reflection, the reality and illusion were uncertain, and in an instant, a complex and ever-changing spatial maze was formed.

"Boom!~"

The King of the Otherworldly Demons tore through the earth and soared into the sky, revealing its true form.

This is an irregular sphere made of flesh, plants, rocks, crystals, metals and other substances.

On the surface of the sphere are tens of thousands of different kinds of eyes. Some of these eyes are dull, some are closed, some are blinking wildly, and some are looking around aimlessly. What they have in common is that every single eye is filled with a lingering malice.

The sphere has no mouth, but it can emit whimpering, sobbing, and roaring sounds. Any living being that hears these sounds will have its soul and body twisted, its mind filled with madness, and it will eventually transform into a demon.

Even true immortals cannot be exposed to the corrupting sounds of the Demon King for long periods of time, or they will also be corrupted.

Although the Demon King appeared to be a mindless madman, Melen knew this was not the case. The evidence was that after realizing the current situation, the Demon King locked his strength at the Refinement Void level, not exceeding the limits of the Azure Moon Realm. At the same time, his corrupting power was fully unleashed, seemingly corrupting all living beings and even alienating the Azure Moon Realm itself.

Unfortunately, Melen had already trapped the Demon King first. Moreover, Melen was not an ordinary True Immortal; he possessed the characteristics of a Wolf Tamer. Melen's resistance to the Demon King's corruption far exceeded that of other True Immortals. Although he was not immune, he could still hold out for a period of time without any problems.

The Otherworldly King also noticed Melon's presence and began to let out a foul roar at him. Accompanied by corruption, the roar seemed to contain some other information.

Upon closer examination of the information contained in the roar, Melen was surprised to discover that it included the twisted rules unique to the King of the Otherworld.

If we can fully analyze these, we can gain the ability of the Demon King to weaken, distort, merge, and fill the rules!

However, Melron knew this was the Otherworldly King's open scheme, because the more Melron deciphered this information, the closer he would get to the Otherworldly King, which was equivalent to him actively corrupting himself and turning himself into the Otherworldly King's corrupted servant.

Although Mellen believed he possessed a certain level of resistance, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could take advantage of the Otherworld King. Therefore, he completely ignored this information and didn't bother to analyze it.

With a single step, a golden river flowed forth from beneath his feet. With a second step, a crimson river appeared alongside the golden one. With a third step, a river of intersecting dimensions and segmented space was born. With a fourth step, a dreamlike river, shimmering with seven-colored light and floating with fairytale bubbles, appeared… the River of Sun and Moon… the River of Souls… the River of Void… the River of Time… the River of Plants…

Nine long rivers unfold, extend, and expand at the feet of Mellen, gradually filling the world as far as the eye can see.

Under the cover of the nine long rivers, the pollution of the Demon King was shielded and purified, and the whispers in the void faded and disappeared.

The King of the Otherworldly Demons paused for a moment, seemingly unable to believe that the ant before him could suppress him, even though the two were currently at the same level of strength.

Mellen remained calm, even taking it for granted.

When it's impossible to reach 100, there's a significant difference between 99 and 99.99.

Those who frequently play RPG grinding games know that the higher you go in the late game, the more exaggerated the numerical values ​​become. A change in a certain affix on a piece of equipment can increase the damage by an order of magnitude!

Chapter 732 Harvest and Rewards

Space expanded, and radiance spread, almost engulfing the Azure Moon Realm.

The battle between Melron and the Lord of the Others has transcended ordinary offense and defense; it has become a contest between supernatural powers and the rules of the game.

As a result of the combined effects of these two events, the rules of the entire Azure Moon Realm began to become distorted.

The reversal of the sun and moon, and the disorder of the seasons, are only the most basic things. The real terror begins when the order of time is confused and life and death are uncertain.

Even though Mellen had done everything he could to mitigate the impact, the aftershocks of the battle continued to spread uncontrollably in an increasingly dire direction.

Within the dimensional mirror space, the long river formed by the power of rules cut like a sharp blade into the body of the Demon King, with countless pieces of flesh, stone fragments, crystals, and metal constantly falling from his body.

These shattered structures either transform into small monsters that attack indiscriminately, or evaporate into invisible rules that further exacerbate the chaos.

At the same time, the King of the Otherworldly Demons' counterattack was extremely sharp. In addition to the distortion of the rules, many tangible and intangible forces were also acting on Melon.

In a short while, hair of varying lengths and scales of different shapes grew on Mellen's skin; muscle fibers, nerves, and blood vessels in his body were drawn out one by one and attacked each other like mortal enemies; bones extended and proliferated at will, bursting out of his body; his internal organs developed their own will, frantically absorbing nutrients to grow stronger...

Mellen remained calm. The river of time meandered and flowed, forming a circle around him. Instantly, time reversed, and the mutation within his body gradually returned to its original state.

The River of Battle Spirit guards the will, the River of Souls protects the soul, and the River of Blood and the River of Plants fill flesh and bones.

Surrounded by a long river of rules, whenever symptoms of alienation appear, they are ruthlessly suppressed.

"I could fight like this all day long!" said Mellen.

In response to Melron was an even more frenzied roar from the Otherworldly King.

As time passed, Mellen's smile grew wider, while the other trial participants who remained in the Azure Moon Realm were quite helpless. They couldn't even cope with the aftershocks of Mellen's battle with the Demon King, let alone participate in it.

The vast majority of the trial participants have returned to the Immortal Realm, with only a few remaining to see the final outcome.

Jun Tianqi, Shen Chuyi, and Cong Yuanhua were the three who remained. The three had become acquainted through a fight, and since there was no longer any need for a battle, they naturally gathered together to wait for the final outcome.

Jun Tianqi laughed and said, "Isn't my little junior brother quite good?"

Shen Chuyi snorted but did not answer. Cong Yuanhua smiled and said, "Young friend Mellen is exceptionally strong. He was able to fight the King of the Otherworldly Demons to a standstill. His future achievements are likely to be limitless."

Jun Tianqi laughed heartily and said, "Of course!"

As the battle continued, the dimensional mirror space gradually approached its limit.

It should be noted that this is only the aftermath. Although it has a significant impact on the Cangyue Realm, it is still within the controllable range. However, if the dimensional mirror space is shattered and the aftermath of the battle completely affects the Cangyue Realm, then let alone gain points, it will probably lose a lot of points.

Therefore, the time that Mellen can fight is limited.

Fortunately, the same is true for the King of the Otherworld.

Despite possessing intelligence, the King of the Otherworldly Demons is inherently mad and chaotic, and his severe injuries have only amplified this trait.

As the battle progressed, the Demon King was nearing the point where he could no longer suppress his instincts and was about to break through the limitations of the Azure Moon Realm.

Although the mess left by the Demon King still needs to be cleaned up by the Dao Lord after the restrictions are broken, it seems that there is no difference from before.

However, testing these true immortals is part of the trial itself, and whether it's versatile skills or outstanding strength, it's all a bonus.

"Boom!~"

In the end, it was the Demon King who couldn't hold on any longer and completely lost his mind. He recklessly increased his strength to break free from Melon's restraints, and at the same time, he tore apart the Azure Moon Realm.

Just then, a vast power swept in, sealing off the entire Azure Moon Realm.

Feeling this power, Mellen breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, beams of light appeared, and the remaining trial participants, including Mellen, were teleported back to the Immortal Realm.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Mellen first bowed to the three Dao Lords of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, then to the other Dao Lords, before returning to the Golden Jade Immortal Sect's ranks.

Chang Liyang nodded slightly, waved his hand to disperse the curtain in the air, and then smiled and said, "I'm sure you all already know how the joint trial went."

Vast streams of divine thoughts swept across the sky, communicating in the void.

Mellen paid no attention to what happened afterward. He had done all he could. As for the trial results and the rewards from the five-faction duel, the sect would naturally fight for them for him.

What Mellen needs to do now is to consolidate the gains from this trip to the Azure Moon Realm.

Besides the fact that the Creation Method allowed him to thoroughly review his own knowledge, the biggest gain from this trip to the Azure Moon Realm was the battle with the King of the Otherworldly Demons.

The Otherworldly Lord's application, distortion, and fusion of rules opened the door to a new world for Melron.

When Mellen ascended to the True Immortal realm, he transformed into the universe, intending to fuse all the rules, which was also a preliminary attempt on the path to becoming a Dao Lord.

But it's too difficult!

The dogs' rules are all self-contained, perfect and harmonious. It's relatively easy to combine them briefly and integrate them to a limited extent, but to completely integrate all the rules is incredibly difficult. At least with Mellen's current strength and knowledge, it's simply unthinkable.

The chaotic and distorted rules of the Otherworldly King gave Melron much inspiration.

It's important to understand that the strange demonic powers that Melen collected in the Azure Moon Realm were actually part of the Demon King. Before being injured, the Demon King was a perfectly self-consistent whole.

As numerous thoughts arose in Mellen's mind, the radiance of rules emanated and enveloped him.

After an unknown amount of time, when Mellen regained consciousness, the floating island was deserted, leaving him all alone. The entire floating island was shrouded in a powerful array, clearly to prevent him from being disturbed.

As Mellen awoke, he immediately triggered the setup on the floating island, and the formation was dispelled.

Before Mellen could leave, a swift figure streaked across the sky—it was Jun Tianqi.

Jun Tianqi scrutinized Mellen for a moment, then smiled and said, "Looks like you've had quite a haul!"

Mellen chuckled, "I have indeed gained some insights. By the way, how long have I been in seclusion? How are the trials and duels going?"

Jun Tianqi said, "Not long, less than two years."

"As for the trials and the duels, you've already done so much, so naturally you were chosen as the first in the trials, and you also won the duel between the five factions."

"Two years." To Mellen himself, it felt like only an hour or two had passed, but he never expected that two years had actually gone by.

"It really is true that 'living in the mountains makes one forget the years, and watching the clouds is like being an immortal.'"

Jun Tianqi said, "For us, it's common to go into seclusion for decades or even centuries. Didn't my junior brother also have an experience of seclusion for more than ten years before?"

Mellen shook his head and said, "The previous seclusion was not achieved overnight, and I could still sense the passage of time, unlike this time, where the sensory contrast of time is particularly strong."

Jun Tianqi said, "That means that Junior Brother is undergoing a deep level of cultivation this time, which is far more effective than ordinary seclusion. You will get used to it gradually."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jun Tianqi said, "Let's go. Senior Brother Chang wants to see you; it's probably about the reward."

Mellen nodded slightly and flew towards the Ancestral Hall with Jun Tianqi.

Upon seeing Mellen, Chang Liyang smiled and said, "You did a good job."

Mellen bowed respectfully and said, "I am very grateful for my senior brother's help."

Chang Liyang was speechless for a moment before saying, "You figured it out?"

Jun Tianqi blinked and asked suspiciously, "What are you two talking about?"

Mellen laughed and said, "Of course, it's a joint trial."

"Although I consider myself to have some ability, and I was able to briefly resist the King of the Otherworldly Demons under the suppression of the Azure Moon Realm, I am still somewhat powerless to delay the King of the Otherworldly Demons until he completely loses his mind."

Jun Tianqi exclaimed in surprise, "So, it was Senior Brother Chang who made the move in secret? No way, there are so many Dao Lords watching outside, and they didn't even notice anything amiss?"

Chang Liyang said calmly, "This Demon King was originally injured by Junior Sister Nan."

Jun Tianqi suddenly realized that since the King of the Otherworldly Demons was injured by the Dao Lord of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, it was only natural that some of his methods had been laid down. At the critical moment, using them slightly was at most just a relapse of an old injury.

Chang Liyang waved his hand and said, "The main reason I called you here this time is to fulfill the rewards for the trial and the duel. The duel was agreed upon. In addition to the four factions giving up their interests in the Blood Sea Realm, each of them also received a Primordial Spiritual Treasure."

As he spoke, Chang Liyang waved his hand, and four dazzling treasures appeared before Mellen: a bell, a cauldron, a flower, and a seal.

With Chang Liyang's explanation, Mellen quickly learned the functions of these four innate spiritual treasures...

The bell is the [Spirit Bell], which has the effects of calming, nourishing, protecting, and purifying the soul. When the bell rings, it can heal and purify the soul's injuries on a large scale, and it can also have a deterrent and dissipating effect.

The cauldron is called the [Myriad Transformations Spiritual Heart Cauldron], a treasure that assists in alchemy and weapon crafting. It can not only restore many treasures to their original state by putting them into it, but also nurture them.

It's worth mentioning that the 'treasures' that can be invested are not limited to rare and precious materials; even humans and demons can be included.

The flower is called "Qiluo Flower Shadow," a flower that exists between reality and illusion. It has nine petals, each with endless colors that constantly change.

The seal is called the "Ten Thousand Mountains Seal," which looks like a majestic mountain peak. Once the seal is placed, ten thousand mountains will follow, and it can connect with the earth's veins. It is a powerful treasure for suppressing evil.

These four treasures are only considered low-grade among innate spiritual treasures, but since they are innate, they are much stronger than ordinary immortal artifacts.
