Overriding the Heaven

Waves rolled and deafening booms could be heard.    

However, this stormy sea seemed to be blocked off by an imposing mountain. Every time it surged over here, it would be immediately cut off.    

It was as if an ocean had been cleaved in half from the middle.    

At this time, if someone happened to trespass into the sea of blood, they would see that the mountain was in human form!    

Not only that, there were even bursts of breathing.    

Every breath he took seemed to suck in all the air in the area!    

This mountain was Chu Yan!    

He was now three hundred meters tall.    

The skin all over his body was golden red in color, giving him a towering, lofty, holy, valiant, and at the same time a deep and steady feeling.    

At this moment, he had his eyes closed as he sat in meditation. Inscriptions appeared around his body.    

These inscriptions were written in an arrogant and perverted manner.    

However, when combined together, it gave off a feeling of vastness, as if the entire universe was contained within it.    

Every character and inscription seemed to be all-encompassing and contained boundless principles.    

At this moment, a blazing red sun was suspended above Chu Yan's head.    

However, with every breath he took, the halo surrounding the sun would let out a few streams of fire, which would then be absorbed into his body.    

This continued for several hours before the blazing sun began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

As for the city that had been hovering in the middle of the sea of blood, it had long since disappeared.    

It was unknown whether it had shattered or melted into the sea of blood.    

Chu Yan maintained his current state and operated the cultivation technique that the professor gave him after the Gates of Hell.    

At this moment, he was refining the Ancestral Devil's blood essence at a speed that was a hundred times faster than he had expected.    

Each time, it seemed like there were only a few drops of liquid fire.    

However, each strand of blood energy was enough to create a new flesh and blood star!    

At this rate, it would only take a few years to completely refine all of the Ancestral Demon blood essence. But now, it only needed three or four days.    

When all of the Ancestral Demonic blood essence was absorbed into Chu Yan's body, he could then use the remaining time to engulf the entire sea of blood!    

At that time, his body tempering cultivation technique would also approach perfection. It wouldn't be a problem even if he were to tear apart the void with one hand, and his body was even able to withstand the space storm!    

There was another benefit to absorbing the Ancestral Demonic Blood so quickly. It wouldn't have much effect on the Flesh, Blood, and Devil Stars in just a few days' time.    

For example, if a person did not eat for a day, he would definitely die from hunger.    

However, if one person was unable to eat their fill for months on end, others would realize that something was amiss just by looking at the person's skinny body.    

As a result, before the end of the second round, the cultivators on the planet could sense that the demons were weaker than before, but also more manic.    

As for the reason for this change, they would never have thought of it.    

Moreover, because of the lack of understanding towards the flesh and blood demon star, the majority of people would not even be able to notice the change in the demon.    

As for Chu Yan's rank on the Immortal Ranking, he wasn't worried at all.    

The demons and monsters that he had killed before were more than enough for him to firmly enter the top ten rankings.    

Judging from the current situation, it would be exceptionally difficult for the first position to be shaken.    

This was only the last three demon spirits and the Ancestral Blood. They wouldn't be placed on the ranking board.    

Therefore, at this moment, Chu Yan could completely calm his heart and refine the Ancestral Demonic Blood and Blood Sea in the middle of the planet, waiting for the end of the second round of the Gathering of the Immortals.    

"This second round is much more fruitful than I'd imagined." In the blood sea, Chu Yan thought about the current situation and sighed.    

"The real problem is the third round.    

If I caused such a commotion in the second round, the Violet Myrtle Sect would definitely not let me go.    

Even though the Heaven's Edge Sect's Sect Leader passed down his cultivation technique to me, I can't trust him completely.    

His attitude was actually not clear enough.    

It was only because of my astonishing performance that he placed a bet on me.    

In the third round, I was not strong enough.    

Or rather, when Emperor Taiqing returns, if no one can stop him, then I will be sacrificed immediately.    

Thus, the most important thing was to become strong.    

Fortunately, the trump card I have now, at least to protect myself, is not a problem.    

He was using all the power he could muster to unleash the full potential of the technique.    

"Then, let's see how it will be when Emperor Taiqing returns."    

Chu Yan pondered for a moment before turning his attention back to absorbing the Ancestral Devil's blood.    

There was no sun nor moon on the planet. The flow of time depended entirely on the cultivator's calculations.    

There were only two days left before the end of the second round.    

As the battles between cultivators intensified, the demons in the depths of the planet also grew stronger.    

At this point in time, the number of cultivators still remaining on the planet numbered less than two hundred.    

However, the Violet Myrtle Sect's disciples still occupied the majority.    

Among the few people who were close to Chu Yan, only Lin Miaoran and Zhuang Die were still on the planet.    

If one were to look at the realms of the two of them, they would be absolutely unremarkable amongst the over two hundred disciples that they had left behind.    

After all, they were all at the first stage of celestial mood stage.    

However, as long as they could endure through the last two days, the rewards they would receive would definitely be much more than the disciples who had already been eliminated.    

Lin Miaoran was able to stay until now because, on one hand, she was smart enough to know when to attack and when to retreat. On the other hand, the various magical equipment pills that Chu Yan had given her were too many to imagine.    

If she really met a powerful opponent, she wouldn't even need to consider what kind of magic treasure was suitable for her. She would just grab it and randomly throw it at them.    

Just the number of Dharma treasures alone was more than enough to kill the enemy.    

Zhuang Die had said that she was from an extraordinary background. Although the magical equipment she carried with her wasn't much more than Lin Miaoran, their quality was definitely not inferior to her.    

In addition, she was skilled in the Dao of Puppets, so she didn't need to rely on her own magic.    

Whether it was the cultivators who attempted to attack her, or the demons and monsters of the Blood and Devil Planet, she would be able to fight them with numbers in an instant.    

Often, when caught off guard, cultivators with realms higher than hers would instantly capsize.    

It was a pity that Shen Qing and Wusilanma were eliminated.    

Shen Qing met with a cultivator whose cultivation far exceeded hers.    

He was eliminated from the second round.    

Wusilanma, on the other hand, attracted the attacks from the demons due to her physique.    

Among them, there were even several demons that were comparable to the third level of the celestial mood stage.    

Thus, the witty Wusilanma decisively chose to activate the Inhibition Formation and returned to the Immortal Island. From the start, she didn't give those demons an opportunity to attack her.    

As far as they were concerned, although they were eliminated in the second round, they had received enough experience on the Blood Demonic Star and did not receive any serious injuries. They were definitely considered lucky within the group of disciples.    

Soon, the sun and moon on the Immortal Island completed yet another change.    

This meant that there was only one day left until the end of the second round.
